kitten behavior problem?
Hey I just got a new kitten recently, she is a purebred ragdoll, whom I named Drusilla. The problem I have with her is that she likes to follow me everywhere in the house and attack my feet as she does this. Besides it being annoying, I am afraid of accidently stepping on her, since she is always running through my feet as I walk. She is also really tiny, so it is easy to overlook her as she is walking behind me.
I know there have been a couple of other threads regarding this topic, and I have read them. The reason I am starting a new thread is because I have already tried everything suggested to stop kitten bites. I have tried distracting her from biting by giving her toys, which works for a few seconds. She has a sister (older, but same mom), who is only a month or two older, they play together sometimes but the minute Drussila sees me she runs to attack my feet. I have also tried telling her to stop firmly, which really does not work. I just really dont want it to become a habit in drusilla.
I mentioned that she was a ragdoll because I have read that they have a tendency to follow their human companions around, which is totally fine with me, just as long as she is not attacking my feet constantly.
I would really appreciate any suggestions.
Welcome to kittenhood!!! Honestly, sounds quite normal to me, and she will most likely grow out of it. How old is this girl? How long have you had her? (and how is it possible that she has a half sister from a different litter that is only 1 or 2 months older?).

My Daughter has 2 kitties who also decided that my feet are the bestest playtoys in the world. walking down the hall was dangerous with 2 kitties attacking my feet. I have fixed the problem somewhat. they very rarely attack my feet now, but they do still want to be close to me so if I am walking from the front of our place to the back they come thundering down the hall and have to try to get there before me. and it is actually really funny how they seem to know if I am going all the way to the back or if I am just going to the bathroom halfway down the hall.
Anyway, sorry for the ramble. I have found the best way to teach the cats what is not allowed is to spray them. I have a plant water spray bottle, cause I can set it anywhere from fine mist(when they are close) to the jet (for across a room) and I fill it with a water and vinager mix. the vinager can not hurt them, but they hate the smell and do not want it to hit em again just make sure you do not get them in the face, I am sure that it would sting the eyes.
Women are angels, and when someone breaks our wings . . .
We simply continue to fly . . .On a broomstick.
We are flexible like that.
The spray will likely work, but I would use just plain water, no vinegar.
Another thing you might try is just stomping your feet loudly when she's about to attack. I've trained my cats to stay away from a door and trying to sneak out whether I'm coming in or going out. They back away from a door now.
If your kitty is very bold and insistent, if she attacks your feet & you don't have the spray handy, give her a tap on her paw with your foot, hard enough that you mean business but certainly not hard enough to hurt her, will likely work. She might think twice next time before she attacks your feet. Let us know how things work out.
catlover, if she's in attack mode she will probably take it as an invitation to wrestle, and dig in with all four paws of claws. (we never deliberately did this, but with 7 kittens it was impossible to avoid every kitten dogging our feet, especially when two attacked at once.)

You have a typical Ragdoll kitten, who wants to play. Of course if it was me, I would have pick the kitten up, give it some kisses, then distract it with another toy. . Another thing you may try is to put your hand between your feet and the kitten as the kitten comes in for the attack with a very firm no. The kitten will get the message that she will not be able to attack feet.
I am confused about the age difference between the kittens, one or two months ???? Do they play together?

Sorry for the confusion, the two babies have the same dad, but different moms. So they are technically step sisters.
haha yeah when she attacks me, she looks so so cute that i cant help but pick her up and kiss her and then try to distract her, which only works for a short time.
My slightly older raggie (Messalina) has gotten less playfull recently, maybe because she has entered cat teenage years and thinks playing is just for babies??!
I just got Drusilla a little over a week ago, so maybe the other cats are adjusting to her, and that is why they dont play with her much. I dont know.
I tried spraying her with water, but thats a game to Drusilla also. I cant wait till the other cats are used to her, so they can play with her instead.
Don't know how much reading you have done on this site, but we DEMAND pics in payment for advice, even if the advice is not helpful
I would love to see your Ragdolls

I will definitely post pics of Drusilla when I get her to stay still for a sec. But for now I only have pics of the maine coons and Messalina (my first raggie kitten).
Just as an update about Drusilla: She is STILL not getting along with the other cats. Weird part is she does not seem to want to get along with the other cats, especially the alpha male (scipio). She especially gets mad at him when I or my roommate pet him and not her. It is funny because she runs up to him and gets up on his face and stares him down, which he does not like.
First of all abolutely adorable and beautiful kittens! Yes, hard not to spoil them for sure.
Sounds like Druscilla is a very dominant little girl for her age. Your other cats are still trying to figure her out and adjust to her. It may be funny now, but I wouldn't let her get away with "getting up on his face and stare him down". You're going to have to watch her. I think that will lead to some problems later on as she gets bigger and stronger. I think you have to realize she has a strong "alpha" personality and she will continue to push his buttons, and likely the other cats as well, and try to topple "Scipio the king". When she gets in his face, intervene, tell her "NO" and lift her away from him and put her beside you and distract her with a toy or petting or a small treat, and at the same time you could also pet your alpha boy, as if to say "it's OK". You want Druscilla to know it's not OK behaviour to do that to Scipio, that you won't tolerate it and that you're more fun than he is. With Druscilla, you've got to be the alpha in the house. Just my
Thanks for the pics, your kitties are beautful.
I think you should allow your cats to determine their hierarchy, unless there is some serious beating is being done, otherwise you are going to be supervising them for the rest of your life, driving yourself crazy, and never enjoying your cats. You can't reason with cats, they are not human. They are trainable to a point, but not like dogs.
I have 2 dominant females, one is actually aggressive (Sweet Pea) the other just wants to be left alone and wants a 10 foot shield around her (Puddles). Puddles won't fight back, so these two are kept separate unless supervised. I have brought in litters of foster kittens and two additional adults and have allowed them "sort" things out. This has allowed my foster kittens to be so well socialized (because cats can do this so much better than humans) before adoption (none turned out aggressive). My male, Jasper and my semi feral, Rose are both easy going and allow Sweet Pea and Puddles to rule and that is OK with them and OK with me, it keeps them getting along.
Now to your boy, Scipio, if he didn't like what Drusilla was doing, he would let her know and let her know very strongly. Cats don't put up with other cats doing things they don't like, especially from a kitten. I think if you are interfering or perhaps interpreting the interactions incorrectly, you could drive yourself crazy and confuse the cats. Your boy will let the kitten know what she can do to him and what she can't.
When you are patting Scipio, I think Drusilla sees him being relaxed and happy and she is hoping for some play with him. He probably doesn't want to bother with her at that moment and he should let her know.
Out of all my litters of kittens, I have never seen a mad one, only scared . If none of the other kittens want to play with her because she is too dominant, then they will try to ignore her. I have seen this done with some of my litters, when the kitten then starts to play nicely, they will include that kitten back in play.

Even in the short time you've had Drusilla she has bonded to you and not to the other cats. When you or roomate pet Serpio it seems she's very jealous of him and doesn't like to see him getting any attention. That's why she runs over and wants it all, but is doing it in a dominating manner by "getting up on his face and stares him down". You say Scipio "does not like" it. But what does he do? Does he hiss and swat her? stay put and stares back and not back down? just sits there? or is he giving in (submitting) to her by hissng and then going away to be somewhere else? as if to say 'whatever, I'm outta here'. It's up to you to decide whether to let them sort it out themselves as L4H has suggested. To me for her age, she sounds very dominant and especially to your boy for some reason. Unless he's happy or resigned to take 'second fiddle' in the household or doesn't seem to care is something only you can decide. You should watch him closely for any changes in personality or otherwise. A change in hierarchy can result in [U]other unwanted changes[U] especially in males, like inappropriate peeing elsewhere in the house to assert his dominance or show his displeasure. I would watch their interactions carefullyto see how Scipio's and Drusilla's relationship is developing.

There needs to be something done about players leaving when they know they have lost, its happening alot more now that I am playing more ingrained players. The novices obviously don't care about their win loss yet. And I lose out on time and combat gains.
69ShawRace81 Colossus City Of The Gods Thursday 25/05/2006, 21:57
I agree 100%, if they know they will lose they leave then its you that really loses
Cannon Evo Novice Friday 26/05/2006, 04:01
Its true. But you can't put a penalty if someone has to leave the game no? What if the line disconnected accidentally? What if you accidentally close the browser? What if your computer hangs? Happens a lot in my area esp
If you have played at least one round, there is a little penalty if someone
leave a game, and the opponent still gets his battles points, clintz and XP.
By the way, if you accidentally close your brower, relaunch the game
within 5 minutes will bring you directly back to the battle in progress.
NN-K_Jun Imperator NASTY NOYP! Friday 26/05/2006, 04:55
Yeah, your right. Maybe binging up the penalty points will do the trick. I say about 50 penalty should be enough.
razorborne Senior Army of Darkness Monday 19/06/2006, 03:18
I don't know why, but I've been thinking about this a lot, and I may
have come up with something that stops quitting based on losing
without punishing people who have to leave for one reason or another:
if you quit or time out, you can't play for some amount of time (15-30
minutes would be my suggestion). If you have to go to dinner or
something, you won't care since you'll be gone, but if you're just
quitting because they have, say, DJ Korr, or a level 5 leader, you have
to sit there for a while before you can play again.

Philadelphia, P.A. – A week after finishing second in a highly competitive field at their own Macdonald Cup, the Yale men's golf team is poised for another strong finish at the Big Five Invitational, sitting in sixth after the first 36 holes at Plymouth Country Club. Captain Tom McCarthy showed why he is the reigning Ivy League Player of the Year, shooting two rounds of 69 to finish at -1 on the day, good for third in the overall individual standings.
Russell Holmes also shot identical scores in the first and second rounds, posting two rounds of 74 to tie him for 33rd at 4-over. Freshman Sam Bernstein, sophomore Bradley Kushner and junior Jeff Hatten finished the day just behind him, all tied for 42nd at 5-over.
Just like they were last weekend at the Course at Yale, the Bulldogs are chasing St. John's University's Red Storm, who sit just ahead of the Elis in fifth. Furman leads at +3, while Yale's Ancient Eight rival Princeton is in second at +9. At +13, the Bulldogs sit just 10 strokes behind the leader, four off the pace of the second-place Tigers, and in great position to make a move up the leaderboard in Sunday's closing rounds.

Perino's No More
Maria and I passed by the old Perino's on Wilshire earlier today -- and I'm sad to report that the building that once housed the restaurant, once a staple of classic Hollywood, is gone.
As planned, the pink building -- in recent years the home of countless film shoots and events -- was demolished to make way for an apartment building.
Sigh. I'm now not looking forward to the day I pass by the Ambassador Hotel, also on Wilshire, and see that it too has finally succumbed to the wrecking ball. (That day is coming.)
Maria and I got a chance last year to see the restaurant up close one last time last April, thanks to a performance there by the Collage Dance Theater. (Of course, we took a camera and poked around after.)
Movies such as "Scarface,'' "Bugsy," "Chaplin" and "Mulholland Falls" all shot at Perinos. The Ray Romano/Kevin James action comedy "Grilled" was the last movie to film there.

Kitchen Tour Favorites: Five Creative Storage Solutions
Our tour yesterday of Biggie's well-organized and bento-optimized kitchen made us think back over some of our favorite creative storage solutions from past kitchen tours. Read on to see our top five...
In no particular order, here are five creative storage solutions we've enjoyed from past kitchen tours and kitchen spotlights.
- David Lebovitz's vintage Champagne bucket. Great for utensils and spatulas. David inherited his, and he says that he likes to leave things out where he can see them.
- Robert and Elizabeth's vintage food scale with vegetables. What a great idea! The vintage scale hangs from the ceiling or wall, so it keeps your vegetables out of your precious countertop space. Plus it looks really cool.
- Kyle's IKEA hanging containers. These are cute, compact, and almost irresistable. We may need to buy a set for our new kitchen.
- Benita's organized casserole dishes. We like these dowel rods or boards holding the casserole dishes neatly in place. Very simple and clever.
- Devesh and Tara's Weck jars for spices and grains. And of course how could we pass up this beautiful, classic storage solution for spices and grains? We're planning on doing something very similar in our new pantry.

I'm sure my busted bracket is not alone
Well that didn't take long. The early games of the day I was looking like a genius with my picks being on the right side of all the close games.
When I suffered my first loss (Oklahoma State falling to Oregon), I felt I was still in good shape because I didn't have the Cowboys going any further.
Then the big one happened. To be honest I never saw it coming and since I went to sleep fairly early, I never saw it period.

Emerging musicians, turn on your amps and start your engines. The search for the city's best new artist has begun.
The Battle of the Boroughs, a city-wide competition, spotlights unknown musicians in the hopes of giving one his break.
Every fall, local musicians submit original pieces of work for consideration for a spot in the competition. Acts, spanning various genres and performance styles, are then selected to contend in the Battle of the Boroughs.
Musicians from Queens have won top honors in the past two years.
This year's Queens segment took place at The Greene Space on Friday, March 2. The venue, which has hosted the event for the past three years, filled with music lovers eager to catch an earful of budding talent.
This year's contenders included Jefferson Thomas, The Great Apes, SWEET Fix, Shelly Bhushan, Predestined, Sinner Man, Cate Song, Jason Waters, Una Via, SisterMonk and Tatiana Kochkareva.
Award-winning WQXR personality Terrance McKnight emceed the competition, interviewing contestants after they each performed a song.
"The Battle of the Boroughs experience is as eclectic as walking down a New York City street — the diverse soundscape is a musical potpourri, with a wide range of melodies and rhythms representing every corner of the city," said McKnight. "The most exciting part for me is seeing a community of listeners having a great time, discovering music together, and coming back for more."
Artists compete for the chance to win their dream prize — their own featured concert at a New York City venue.
Attendees voted for their favorite acts at the end of the evening, and five finalists emerged — The Great Apes, Shelly Bhushan, Cate Song, Sinner Man and SWEET FIX.
Those who were not able to attend the show can still vote for their favorite act up until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 18. For the chance to weigh in, visit thegreenespace.org/battle2012.
The Queens winner will be announced on Monday, March 19.
The ultimate battle, pitting the winners from each borough against each other, will take place on June 29.

(My personal favorite? Their brilliant "U.S.-Sino Currency Rap Battle" music video, featuring Obama and Hu Jintao dropping the dismal science in an epic economic emcee throwdown.)
But ever since Friday, NMA has been at the center of a viral outbreak that they didn't engineer. That's when Marina Shifrin, a content editor at the studio, uploaded a brief clip to YouTube of herself dancing around her office at 4:30 in the morning. Titled "An Interpretive Dance For My Boss Set To Kanye West's Gone," the video's captions explain the meaning of the dance — and the clip. "I work for an awesome company that produces news videos. For almost two years, I've sacrificed my relationships, time and energy for this job. And my boss only cares…about quantity and how many views each video gets. So I figured…I'd make ONE video of my own. To focus on the content instead of worry about the views. Oh, and to let my boss know… (dance break) I quit. I QUIT! I'm gone."
The video, which was picked up by sites like Gawker and the Huffington Post and presented as a hilarious kiss-off by an aggrieved employee to a callous, digital sweatshop-operating boss, now has over 11 million views and counting — about three times more exposure than the most popular video NMA has ever produced — with 97% of the responses to her clip being positive.
So on the face of it, this looks like an amazing triumph of the wage-slave David over corporate Goliaths everywhere. As usual, however, the truth is a little more nuanced. Yesterday, I spoke with Michael Logan — who happens to be both a personal friend and the director of content and business development for NMA's International division. That is to say, he's the "boss" that Shifrin refers to in her video.
Like Logan's boss Mark Simon, who publicly responded to Shifrin's implicit allegations on Gawker yesterday, Logan has nothing but nice things to say about his former employee, and wonders why she chose to throw him and the company they work for under the bus in such a public fashion.
The video suggested that working until 4:30 am was the norm — except that it's an organization tied to a round-the-clock news cycle, so every content employee, including managers, has to do one month of night shifts per year, for which they get paid a 30% bonus. Beyond that, the company's 600 employees are expected to work standard 40-hour, five-day work weeks. Next Media Animation's Taipei offices are huge, well-lit and flush with amenities (pizza for late-nighters, an all-access rooftop swimming pool and sauna, a basketball court) and its team is, as you might guess, composed mostly of creative young people in their twenties of diverse ethnicity and nationality. "It's a fun job," says Logan. "And we take care of people. But we're a Taiwanese company, so people immediately think 'sweatshop.'"
Shifrin herself says in the video that it's an "awesome company." So why would she choose to jump ship? Was it really a lack of creative opportunities? Logan denies it, saying that Shifrin was given a huge amount of freedom to develop ideas and pitch stories — and, in fact, had been asked to work on developing television content, a key programming initiative that led to projects like the NMA-produced animated special for SpikeTV, "Charlie Sheen's Winningest Moments."
And there was no friction between Logan and Shifrin before she decided to leave, either; he considered her a friend, as did the other management-level thirtysomethings who worked with her and were members of the expat network with whom she socialized. In fact, Shifrin had been part of a group that had gone with Logan to New York and Los Angeles to attend conferences and pitch ideas to partners right before she posted her YouTube resignation. "We even made a side trip to Chicago so she could see her parents," he said.
Unfortunately, the trip also heightened Shifrin's desire to return to the U.S. "Taiwan was an adjustment for her, and she made it clear to us when we brought her out here that she'd only spend a year here," he says. (Shifrin had originally been hired in NMA's New York office; when that office was shut down, the company offered to bring her to Taiwan, paying her relocation costs, in order to keep her.) "That year was almost up, and I knew she wanted to leave. She'd talked about it several times over the year, and we'd made efforts to keep her. But I didn't know she'd made a decision until I saw the video."
As for the specific rationale for quitting Shifrin cites in her video — that Logan had suddenly placed a greater emphasis on quantity and pageviews than quality of content — he points out that the company's business model, delivering funny, animated news on a global basis, requires quick-turn production and deadline-driven writing.
"That wasn't working out for her," he says. "We do have projects that have a longer lead time — parodies, our TV work and so on. And we gave her every opportunity to develop ideas for those. But we lead with the news, and that means we need to work fast. You're tied to a cycle. And obviously, views are ultimately what pay the bills for us. But there wasn't any kind of increased mandate while she was here, and we've never had any quotas for views."
Shifrin didn't respond to a request for comment.
So it's a tough job. But it's also, in many ways, a dream job: A free ticket to a foreign country to work on funny stuff in an awesome company with cool people? What's not to like? Or more specifically, what's not-likeable enough about that situation that you'd choose to burn your bridges so publicly?
That's a question that managers across the country would probably like the answer to, as a generation of Marina Shifrins — who openly refers to herself as a "narcissistic, entitled, technology-obsessed Millennial" — take up oar in the galleys of corporate America. It's time for some charts!
Requisite disclosure: The data below is from The Futures Company, a consulting firm I work for when I'm not writing this column. This is germane because, as it turns out, understanding generational values and attitudes is the particular specialty of one of the ancestors of The Futures Company — the venerable Yankelovich Research. (They notably were the research firm that made the term "Boomers" happen, back when Boomers were the thing.)
The Futures Company's U.S. MONITOR data highlights key differences between Millennials, defined as those aged 17 to 34 as of 2013, and prior generations of American workers. What it says is this: Yes, they've grown up thinking of themselves as exceptional; yes, they've been encouraged by their Boomer parents to be expressive, to embrace ideals and to follow unconventional paths to unique goals.
But they're also increasingly focused what we might as well call the hustle — end-running rules and standards if it's necessary to get ahead (62% say they have to "always be thinking of ways to beat the system," versus 53% of Gen Xers, 52% of Boomers and 40% of Matures); looking out for number one, because they can't depend on the generosity of others (65% say they feel they have to "take whatever they can get in this world, because no one is going to give them anything," versus 57% of Gen Xers, 47% of Boomers and 33% of Matures); and seizing any chance to boost themselves, regardless of context (77% say they "work hard on coming out on top in any situation, from the most to the least important," versus 66% of Gen Xers, 54% of Boomers and 52% of Matures).
The reasons behind this are simple: They've come of age during the worst economic crisis of several generations, and continue to live in a world where their parents' ideal of success — stable lifelong work at a single company with incremental raises and promotions until the arrival of a secure retirement — is unicorn bait. People say Gen Xers are cynical; well, when it comes to work, Millennials skepticism puts Xers to shame, and rightly so.
This sense of suspicion runs deepest in professions like journalism, which at this point really merits the term "hobby" or "affectation" more than "profession": The Internet's disruption of traditional business models has made writers — sorry, content creators — a nearly fungible commodity, which is why side jobs like, say, consulting for a market research company have become a necessary supplement for those seeking to feed their kids and maybe eventually send them to college.
But what about for newbies who don't necessarily have the fallback of moonlighting — what solution does corporate America have for them?
At professional gatherings like the Asian American Journalists Association national convention, which the NMA team attended during their recent U.S. trip, the buzzword "personal brand" is a near constant refrain. That's the only solution that prior generations of careerists really have to offer to the new kids in the cubes: Roll your own. Manage your social network. Advertise yourself. Find ways to stand out and be noticed and generate hype about your skills, your image, your identity — independent of where you work and what you do there.
Seen in that light, Shifrin's flamboyant exit was almost a logical strategic decision based on everything we're telling and selling the Millennial generation about what they need to get ahead — and an incredibly successful one, at that.
Her video has been picked up by a dozen major media institutions, and launched her on a media tour that began with an appearance today on Queen Latifah's new talk show, during which she received a surprise job offer to serve as the show's new Digital Content Producer. ("I'm a boss," said Latifah, noting that she liked to surround herself with "cool, creative people." "And bosses can hire!"); it continues tomorrow, as Shifrin goes on The Today Show with Carson Daly and Matt Lauer. "Is this real life?" she asked rhetorically on Twitter. Yes, it is — Millennial style.
My generation's prototypical take-this-job-and-shove-it moment was Steven Slater, the fortysomething JetBlue flight attendant who infamously and hilariously quit his job by activating an inflatable emergency ramp and exiting the plane after grabbing a pair of beers; his was a spontaneous eruption with no obvious goal and certainly nothing by way of plan — a hot mess that boiled over at the wrong time.
Shifrin, meanwhile, had learned the inside game on how to get content to go viral in her job at NMA; when she decided it was time to move on, she simply used those lessons as everyone had told her to, promoting her personal brand: She sent the link to the clip to Gawker and other online buzz machines before she even alerted her boss and coworkers that it existed. As Shifrin herself explained on Latifah, "Sometimes you need to forcefully close one door in order for others to open a little easier." Maybe a hot mess — but, to quote Millennial avatar Miley Cyrus, a strategic hot mess.
Does that mean we'll be seeing a bumper crop of other Millennials quitting via YouTube? Maybe — but, says viral video vet Logan, they're not likely to be as successful. "I don't think it's going to be a thing," he says. "There could only be one Steven Slater, and there can only be one Marina Shifrin." Wannabes can dance on tables to Kanye all they want, but they likely won't get the same kind of viral pop.
That's not to say there isn't always room for another voice in the wide-open social conversation. In YouTube as in rap, the appropriate response to a challenge is a rebuttal in kind. Which is why yesterday, Logan and Shifrin's former NMA colleagues posted their own dance video to a Kanye beat — wishing Shifrin good luck, while also sending the simple message: We're hiring.
As of this writing, it has over 2.4 million views. When I talked to Logan, it was almost 4:30 am, Taiwan time, and he was still at the office. "We've been overwhelmed with resumes," he says. "And I'm the one who has to go through them all."

Briefs on the lake area volleyball, softball and golf teams
The Osage Lady Indians picked up a road win over California on Tuesday night, scoring nine runs to win 9-2. Finishing the game with 15 total hits in the game, the Lady Indians' bats led the way with three hits each from Charity Nelson and Demi Karras. Taylor Good struck out six on the night as the Indians improved to 7-10 on the season.
The Eldon Lady Mustangs improve to 9-7 after a 9-1 win over Russellville on Tuesday. Their Wednesday night matchup against Tipton, however, proved to be a loss, falling in a 5-1 game to the Cardinals. The Lady Mustangs are now 9-8 on the season before their Thursday night match against Helias, and have just one final game at Tuscumbia on Monday, Oct. 7 before districts begin.
Versailles' Lady Tigers move to 5-13 on the season after an 11-0 shutout loss to Tipton on the road Tuesday night, which was followed up with a 14-0 loss to Blair Oaks on Wednesday.
The Lady Lakers' volleyball team continues to struggle this fall, as the Jefferson City Lady Jays defeated Camdenton on Tuesday night in two sets, with scores of 25-10 and 25-17. The loss marks the Lady Lakers' 14th loss of the season (now 2-14).
Daphne Dinsdale and Kailey Lembke both finished the game with two kills, while Abby Moulder led the team with seven assists while Schae VanderPloeg finished with five digs.
Coach Austin Walker, however, says that the team is improving, though the record doesn't exactly show it, and her team, though experiencing some tough losses, continues to fight to get better.
"Our schedule does not allow for any rest between opponents and it has definitely not been easy for us this year," Coach Walker said. "We are getting better, although our record doesn't prove that, as the season goes on and I believe we just need that one nudge and for everyone to be on the same page in order for us to get over the hump. We have played those teams that are in the top of the conference already, so we have a chance to rebound and get some wins against some of the bottom half."
The Osage Lady Indians bounced back from a loss to Fatima, picking up another win on Tuesday night against the Russellville Lady Indians with scores of 25-11 and 25-12.
Maddy Homan led the Indians with six kills in the game, followed by Joselyn Nuckolls with four and Keely McCann with three. Carissa Pike finished with two aces and three digs.
The Lady Indians are currently 7-10-1 on the season before their Thursday night match at Eldon against the 2-8-2 Lady Mustangs.
The Lady Laker golf team completed their regular season last week with matches at Lebanon and Lake Valley Country Club in Camdenton. The Lady Lakers traveled to Great Life Fitness in Lebanon and defeated both Lebanon and Southern Boone. The Lady Lakers shot a season best team score of 202. Lebanon shot a 208 and Southern Boone shot a 212. The Lady Lakers were led by Katie Alford with a personal best of 49. Other Laker scores were Sarah Hockly 50, Amber Theobald 51, Brianna Knopf 52 and Payten Letterman 53. The JV Lakers shot a team score of 234 led by Morgan Righter and Kelsea DeCook.
The Lady Laker golf team finished out the season by welcoming Osage, Waynesville, and Jefferson City to Lake Valley for senior night. The Lady Lakers finished in second place with a team score of 207 behind Jefferson City's score of 179. Osage shot a 208 and Waynesville finished a 264. The Lady Lakers were led by Brianna Knopf and Amber Theobald with 48's and Sarah Hockley with a 51. Other scoring for the Lakers were Katie Katelyn Bartels and Kelsea De Cook. The Lady Lakers finish their match season with a winning record of 11-4, despite losing one of the top players, Katie Bird, to an injury.
The Lady Laker golf team competed in the Ozark Conference Tournament on Monday at Piney Valley at Fort Leonard Wood. The Lady Lakers placed 6th in the conference shooting a team score of 450. The Lady Laker were led by the two seniors Brianna Knopf and Sarah Hockley shooting 109 each. Amber Theobald followed with a 110, Katie Alford with a 122 and Payten Letterman with a 129. West Plains captured top honors in the team category and the individual conference champ was Sun Jung of Glendale. The Lady Lakers played a tough tournament and placed well.

What Is Hinduism?
What is Hinduism? To many in the West it's a bizarre and alien religion teeming with multi-armed gods and irrational beliefs, crawling with holy cows and complex rituals; archaic, gaudy, and defined by bizarre and very un-Western traditions such as primitive idol worship and the despicable caste system. A big, pagan city whose winding alleyways go through districts so foreign to our own culture one might easily get confused and hopelessly lost, so better stay away. As a result Hindism, more perhaps than any other religion, is often reduced to cliché, prejudice, and outright fallacy.
That's why I prefer the Russian Doll image of Hinduism to the Big City, the outer and more conspicuous, sometimes bizarre form of each separate doll peeling away to gradually lead to an inner, deeper, single Truth common to each one. Behind the seemingly bizarre outer appearance of Hinduism lies a quieter, less conspicuous, more abstract core, a philosophical mind-set not usually visible or comprehensible at first glance, and inaccessible through our everyday language. To get beneath the skin of these deeper concepts it's a good idea to learn a few Sanskrit terms: words for which there are no English translations. I've chosen ten which, it seems to me, are essential for a basic understanding of the essence of Hinduism.

Open Door Center Residents Keep Busy With Vehicle Wash
For just $30, Valley City residents can have their vehicles cleaned, inside and out, by residents of the Open Door Center, which is a local organization that provides day, residential and vocational services for individuals with disabilities including children and adults with developmental disabilities, adults with mental illness and people with a traumatic brain injury.
The car wash program is run through a nonprofit company called Nish, which specializes in finding work for people with disabilities.
Laura Peterson, program director at the Open Door Center, said the program, which is available to residents throughout the entire center, is a good way of giving their individuals work.
"There's a lot of individuals who really enjoy it," Peterson said, adding that the program is a good way for residents to stay busy and make money.
"They do make money; it is a job," she said.
Individuals are paid on an hourly rate.
The wash is run every Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the summer months, depending on the weather and temperature. Peterson said the car wash cannot be run when it's below 30 degrees.
Residents use environmentally-friendly procedures to wash the interior and exterior of vehicles. The exterior is steam cleaned with a machine that uses less than a half a gallon of water to do each vehicle.
"It's not a typical car wash," Peterson said.
On the inside, vehicles are vacuumed and wiped down, and the windows are also washed.
It takes no longer than an hour and a half for residents to complete the wash.
The program has been in effect since January, and it's the only program like it available to Open Door Center residents.
Currently, vehicles are being washed at group home one, located at 240 4th Avenue Southeast. Sherri Horsager can answer questions at (701) 840-0995.

In part 2 of episode 20 of ON THE COUCH, I talked with pro photographers Kamil Tamiola, Tom Barnes and Lucas Gilman about photographers moving into video production.
There are a lot of challenges that photographers face who want to move into filmmaking which they probably don't think about beforehand. Lucas mentioned his challenges when he decided to shoot video for the first time, with things like audio, moving camera, technical issues and many other things that he never thought about – even different framing and selection of shots, going all the way down to thinking even more in sequences rather than individual shots, which is crucial for editing.

Date Climbed/Hiked:
Oct 13, 2007
I have been doing some hiking in the
Kalmiopsis Wilderness
since it isn't far from my home in Medford, Oregon. On Saturday, October 13th, I got an early start and drove to the Babyfoot Lake Trailhead. I had been here the previous week to hike
Bailey Mountain
. Bailey Mountain and Josephine Mountain are both long day hikes, so I couldn't do them both on the same day.
It was another beautiful day and it didn't take me long to put on my boots and get started south on the Kalmiopsis Rim Trail. It was 9:15 AM. Since I had been here a week earlier, I didn't' linger over the first 3 miles where there is a fork in the trail. Here the trail to Bailey Mountain goes right into the heart of the Kalmiopsis, and the trail I wanted to follow today continued straight ahead. I also wanted to climb
Canyon Mountain
and it was directly ahead of me on the trail.
I continued south on the Kalmiopsis Rim Trail. It started to climb towards Canyon Mountain and led to the east side of the mountain where the vegetation was untouched by the Biscuit Fire. The trail traversed the east side of Canyon, but kept climbing. I could see the Canyon summit ridge off to my right, but as long as the trail kept climbing, I preferred the trail rather than bushwhacking. When the trail reached a small highpoint before it goes down to another saddle on the south side of Canyon Mountain, I stopped and looked around. I knew I was past the summit and then I noticed an overgrown trail almost behind me that seemed to go in the direction of the summit. I took the trail and followed it almost up to the summit ridge where I lost it in the brush. Later, on my way down, I found where the trail made a couple of switchbacks before it reached the summit ridge. After I lost the trail, I just picked my way through the brush the last 40 ft up to the ridge. Here I found the trail again and followed it about 150 ft to the highpoint of Canyon Mountain. I took some pictures and noticed some concrete foundation ruins of what was probably an old fire lookout. I had a long hike to complete today, so I didn't stay long before heading back down the trail and on to Josephine Mountain.
Once I was back on the Kalmiopsis Rim Trail, I headed south. The trail was easy to follow and it lost lots of elevation. I re-checked my map to make sure I was on the right trail because I had not noticed on the map that it lost so much elevation. The trail lost about 400ft down to another fork in the trail. I referred again to my map to make sure I was supposed to go left here. A few hundred yards further south from the fork in the trail, the trail was blocked by several old growth trees that had blown down. I had to go way off the trail to the right to get around this obstacle and then I came to Cold Spring and a campsite. I couldn't find where the trail continued, so I just headed up the hill to my left and kept bearing right in hopes of stumbling across the trail again. I found the trail about half way up to the ridge. Once on the ridge, I could see Josephine Mountain off to my front left. The trail was good along here and I followed it up to a burned over, brushy highpoint that is almost directly west of Josephine Mountain. I set a waypoint here in my GPS and left the trail.
From here to the summit of Josephine Mountain it is Class 2 with no trail. I picked my way through the brush and started down the ridge. I could see a saddle below that I had to reach before climbing back up to the summit of Josephine Mountain. Heading down this ridge, there are several brushy areas that are obstacles. Most of this ridge did not burn in the Biscuit Fire, so the brush is bigger than in burned areas. I worked my way down, sometimes on the left side where the slope was steep to the north and sometimes on the right where it was brushier but not as steep of a slope. I was happy to get to the bottom of the ridge and start across the saddle to Josephine Mountain.
There are actually 2 saddles to cross before you get to Josephine Mountain, so I kept to the right (south) of point 3,895. It was easier hiking now because the fire has cleaned off all the brush. It is easy to see a route and to follow it. When I reached the slope that leads up to the summit of Josephine Mountain, I just tried to pick the easiest route that I could see. It is steep and rocky, but nothing technical. It took a while to climb the 700 ft up to the summit ridge.
Once on top, I could see the summit ridge is actually "C" shaped, with the highpoint in the middle. The ridgeline is wide and easy to follow around to the highpoint, where there are at least 2 rockpiles that contend for the highpoint. I tagged them both. The southern one was the home of a little chipmunk that was wondering what I was doing. Apparently, this summit is not visited very often. I found no register or benchmark. I enjoyed the views and even wandered a little over to the west where I could see down into the Illinois Valley and Cave Junction.
While I ate lunch, I calculated how much time it would take me to get back to the trailhead and how much daylight was left. It was already a little after 2:00 PM. It was going to be close. I always carry a headlamp with me, but it is slow hiking in the dark. I headed back down and discovered an old abandoned trail leading down to the saddle to the west of Josephine Mountain. The trail is steep with several switchbacks, but it led down to near the saddle before I lost it. I crossed the saddle and headed back up the brushy slope to the Kalmiopsis Rim Trail. I was happy to finally find the trail again and didn't take a break.
Now I could make good time back to the trailhead. I hurried along past Cold Spring, past Canyon Mountain, and past the cutoff for Bailey Mountain. The sun was setting, but I still felt good and continued hurrying along. Once I reached the last ridgeline above Babyfoot Lake, I knew I could get to my truck before it was dark. I hiked the last mile and half enjoying the scenery and the colors of the setting sun on the mountains.
I arrived at the trailhead by twilight and within 15 minutes it was totally dark. My complete hike was 16.6 miles with the side trip to Canyon Mountain, gained 4,768 ft of elevation and it took me 8.7 hours plus about 20 minutes for lunch. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful wilderness area.

GNOME developer Dave Neary has posted the highlights of his work to determine where contributions to GNOME come from. This "Census" is a combination of data mining and surveys that gives a snapshot of gnome activity and the profile of a GNOME contributor. This project's aims were to answer three questions in particular: What does the developer community look like? What companies are investing in GNOME, and how? What does the commercial ecosystem around the GNOME project look like?

Celebration planned for RSB's Ron Stovall
For the last thirty-three years, Ron Stovall was employed at the Roscoe State Bank. This Thursday, a celebration will be held in his honor at the Roscoe Community Center from 5 to 7 p.m. On April 1, 1979, Stovall was hired as a vice president of Roscoe State Bank by Clyde Jay, the father of the current bank president, John Jay. Stovall called the senior Jay an "inspiration" and a "wonderful banker." Though he retired from his position as Executive Vice President at the end of 2012, Stovall continues to serve on the Board of Directors, which he joined in 1982. Stovall wore many hats during his time in the RSB offices, as he worked as a loan officer servicing commercial, consumer and agricultural loans. Prior to his employment at Roscoe State Bank, Stovall gained banking experience through his work at the First National Bank in Lamesa. But outside of his banking career, Stovall also served as the Mayor of Roscoe during the 1980s for a decade. Throughout the years, Stovall said that he has had many wonderful customers whom he appreciates. He also praised the great working conditions provided by the Jay family, and noted that he made lots of wonderful friends during his "wonderful working experience". However, during his time with Roscoe State Bank, the most evident change Stovall saw was its growth, even during the various ups and downs in the economy. When he was hired in 1979, the bank's total assets were $17.8 million; today, they stand at $167.2 million."We couldn't have done it without Ron's efforts and contributions," stated John Jay, the president of Roscoe State Bank. "He has been vitally important to me and the organization during this time and has been there every step along the way, supporting the growth, success and strategic direction of the bank". During Stovall's thirty-plus years with RSB, the company grew from one office to three branches in Roscoe, Sweetwater and Bastrop. Jay went on to say that Stovall provided an excellent example for all employees as well."He has a consistently wonderful attitude and work ethic, and he has shown dependability and loyalty to the bank," added Jay. "Our customers are extremely loyal to him, and he has built strong relationships over the years."During his time at Roscoe State Bank, Stovall learned some lessons which he says will benefit him in this new chapter of life. Among them were to be prepared for life and to not panic when things don't go as planned.Instead, a person should adjust and be adaptable. Stovall also learned about the honesty and trustworthiness of people during his employment.Since his retirement began, Stovall has had the chance to take part in more traveling ventures, many of which will allow him to see his family more often.He recently took trips to Galveston to see his sister and brother-in-law, as well as the Metroplex area to see his children and grandchildren. Stovall has two surviving daughters, Tara and Laci, and six grandchildren: Tripp, Bre, Brody, Reagan, Jace and Drew. And while Stovall's presence might be physically gone from the Roscoe office, he hopes to have left a strong impact on others. He hopes that he provided guidance and growth to others, as well as opportunities--whether through loans or advice--for people to pursue their dreams."We will miss him tremendously from the day-to-day activities," noted Jay, "but we are honored that he will be actively involved as he continues to serve on the Board of Directors. He will be also be involved in future strategic planning for the organization."To ensure that the festivities would not coincide with the Christmas and New Year holidays, Roscoe State Bank decided to postpone Stovall's retirement celebration. Everyone is invited to attend the special event honoring Stovall's banking career on Thursday.

Glycerol /ˈɡlɪsərɒl/[4] (also called glycerine or glycerin; see spelling differences) is a simple polyol (sugar alcohol) compound. It is a colorless, odorless, viscous liquid that is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Glycerol has three hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. The glycerol backbone is central to all lipids known as triglycerides. Glycerol is sweet-tasting and generally considered non-toxic.

Glycerol can be either synthetic, or derived from plants (usually soybeans or palm) or animals (usually tallow). It can also be a blend of both animal and vegetable oils. Approximately 950,000 tons per year are produced in the United States and Europe; 350,000 tons of glycerol were produced per year in the United States alone from 2000–2004.[5] Production will increase as the EU directive 2003/30/EC is implemented, which requires the replacement of 5.75% of petroleum fuels with biofuel across all Member States by 2010, as glycerol is a byproduct in the production of biodiesel. It is projected that by the year 2020, production will be six times more than demand.[6]
From fats and oils
Triglycerides found in fats and oils are by definition esters of glycerol with long-chain carboxylic acids; the hydrolysis (saponification) or transesterification of these triglycerides produces stoichiometric quantities of glycerol. In this scheme, glycerol is produced as a co-product in the production of long-chain carboxylate salts used as soaps (see soap-making):
It is also a byproduct of the production of biodiesel via transesterification. This form of crude glycerol is often dark in appearance with a thick, syrup-like consistency. Triglycerides (1) are treated with an alcohol such as ethanol (2) with catalytic base to give ethyl esters of fatty acids (3) and glycerol (4):
Glycerol from triglycerides is produced on a large scale, but the crude product is of variable quality, with a low selling price of as low as 1–8 U.S. cents per pound in 2011. It can be purified, but the process is expensive. As a result, a good fraction of crude glycerol is disposed of as waste. Some glycerol is burned for energy, but the heat value is low.[7]
Crude glycerol from the hydrolysis of triglycerides can be purified by treatment with activated carbon to remove organic impurities, alkali to remove unreacted glycerol esters, and ion exchange to remove salts. High purity glycerol (> 99.5%) is obtained by multi-step distillation; vacuum is helpful due to the high boiling point of glycerol (290 °C).[6]
Synthetic glycerol
Synthetic glycerol refers to material obtained from non-triglyceride sources. Glycerol may also be produced by various routes from propylene. The epichlorohydrin process is the most important; it involves the chlorination of propylene to give allyl chloride, which is oxidized with hypochlorite to dichlorohydrins, which reacts with a strong base to give epichlorohydrin. Epichlorohydrin is then hydrolyzed to give glycerol. Chlorine-free processes from propylene include the synthesis of glycerol from acrolein and propylene oxide.[6]
Because of the emphasis on biodiesel, where glycerol is a waste product, the market for glycerol is depressed, and these old processes are no longer economical on a large scale. Due to the glycerol glut, efforts are being made to convert glycerol to its precursors, such as acrolein and epichlorohydrin.[8] (See the Chemical intermediate section of this article.)
Food industry
In food and beverages, glycerol serves as a humectant, solvent, and sweetener, and may help preserve foods. It is also used as filler in commercially prepared low-fat foods (e.g., cookies), and as a thickening agent in liqueurs. Glycerol and water are used to preserve certain types of plant leaves.[9] As a sugar substitute, it has approximately 27 kilocalories per teaspoon (sugar has 20) and is 60% as sweet as sucrose. It does not feed the bacteria that form plaques and cause dental cavities. As a food additive, glycerol is labeled as E number E422. It is added to icing (frosting) to prevent it from setting too hard.
As used in foods, glycerol is categorized by the American Dietetic Association as a carbohydrate. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) carbohydrate designation includes all caloric macronutrients excluding protein and fat. Glycerol has a caloric density similar to table sugar, but a lower glycemic index and different metabolic pathway within the body, so some dietary advocates[who?] accept glycerol as a sweetener compatible with low carbohydrate diets.
It is also recommended as an additive when using polyol sweeteners such as erythritol and xylitol which have a cooling effect, due to its heating effect in the mouth, if the cooling effect is not wanted.[10]
Pharmaceutical and personal care applications
Glycerol is used in medical and pharmaceutical and personal care preparations, mainly as a means of improving smoothness, providing lubrication and as a humectant. It is found in allergen immunotherapies, cough syrups, elixirs and expectorants, toothpaste, mouthwashes, skin care products, shaving cream, hair care products, soaps and water-based personal lubricants. In solid dosage forms like tablets, glycerol is used as a tablet holding agent. For human consumption, glycerol is classified by the U.S. FDA among the sugar alcohols as a caloric macronutrient.
Glycerol is a component of glycerin soap. Essential oils are added for fragrance. This kind of soap is used by people with sensitive, easily irritated skin because it prevents skin dryness with its moisturizing properties. It draws moisture up through skin layers and slows or prevents excessive drying and evaporation.[citation needed]
Glycerol can be used as a laxative when introduced into the rectum in suppository or small-volume (2–10 ml) (enema) form; it irritates the anal mucosa and induces a hyperosmotic effect.[11]
Taken orally (often mixed with fruit juice to reduce its sweet taste), glycerol can cause a rapid, temporary decrease in the internal pressure of the eye. This can be useful for the initial emergency treatment of severely elevated eye pressure.[12]
Botanical extracts
When utilized in 'tincture' method extractions, specifically as a 10% solution, glycerol prevents tannins from precipitating in ethanol extracts of plants (tinctures). It is also used as an 'alcohol-free' alternative to ethanol as a solvent in preparing herbal extractions. It is less extractive when utilized in a standard tincture methodology. Alcohol-based tinctures can also have the alcohol removed and replaced with glycerol for its preserving properties. Such products are not 'alcohol-free' in either a scientific (they have three hydroxyl groups), or consumable[clarification needed] sense, but should[why?] in all instances more accurately be referred to as "Alcohol-Removed" products. Fluid extract manufacturers often extract herbs in hot water before adding glycerol to make glycerites.[13][14]
When used as a primary 'true' alcohol-free (e.g. no ethanol ever being used) botanical extraction solvent in innovative non-tincture based 'dynamic'[clarification needed] methodologies, glycerol has been shown to possess a high degree of extractive versatility for botanicals including removal of numerous constituents and complex compounds, with an extractive power that can rival that of alcohol and water/alcohol solutions.[citation needed] That glycerol possesses such high extractive power assumes it is utilized with dynamic methodologies as opposed to standard passive 'tincturing' methodologies that are better suited to alcohol. Glycerol possesses the intrinsic property of not denaturing or rendering a botanical's constituents inert (as alcohols – i.e. ethyl (grain) alcohol, methyl (wood) alcohol, etc., do). Glycerol is a stable preserving agent for botanical extracts that, when utilized in proper concentrations in an extraction solvent base, does not allow inverting or reduction-oxidation of a finished extract's constituents, even over several years.[citation needed] Both glycerol and ethanol are viable preserving agents. Glycerol is bacteriostatic in its action, and ethanol is bactericidal in its action.[15][16][17]
Electronic cigarette liquid
Vegetable glycerin is a common component of e-liquid, a solution used with electronic cigarettes that is heated with an atomizer to produce vapor in order to deliver flavors and optionally nicotine.
Like ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, glycerol is a non-ionic kosmotrope that forms strong hydrogen bonds with water molecules, competing with water-water hydrogen bonds. This disrupts the crystal lattice formation of ice unless the temperature is significantly lowered. The minimum freezing point temperature is at about −36 °F / −37.8 °C corresponding to 70% glycerol in water.
Glycerol was historically used as an anti-freeze for automotive applications before being replaced by ethylene glycol, which has a lower freezing point. While the minimum freezing point of a glycerol-water mixture is higher than an ethylene glycol-water mixture, glycerol is not toxic and is being re-examined for use in automotive applications.[18][19]
In the laboratory, glycerol is a common component of solvents for enzymatic reagents stored at temperatures below 0 °C due to the depression of the freezing temperature. It is also used as a cryoprotectant where the glycerol is dissolved in water to reduce damage by ice crystals to laboratory organisms that are stored in frozen solutions, such as bacteria, nematodes, and mammalian embryos.
Internal Combustion Fuel
Used to power diesel generators supplying electricity for the FIA Formula E series of electric race cars.[20]
Chemical intermediate
Glycerol is used to produce nitroglycerin, which is an essential ingredient of various explosives such as dynamite, gelignite, and propellants like cordite. Reliance on soap-making to supply co-product glycerol made it difficult to increase production to meet wartime demand. Hence, synthetic glycerol processes were national defense priorities in the days leading up to World War II. Nitroglycerin, also known as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) is commonly used to relieve angina pectoris, taken in the form of sub-lingual tablets, or as an aerosol spray.
Allyl iodide, a chemical building block for polymers, preservatives, organometallic catalysts, and pharmaceuticals, can be synthesized by using elemental phosphorus and iodine on glycerol.[21]
A great deal of research is being conducted to try to make value-added products from crude glycerol (typically containing 20% water and residual esterification catalyst) obtained from biodiesel production.[22] The use of crude glycerol as an additive to biomass for a renewable energy source when burned or gasified is also being explored.
- Hydrogen gas production unit[23]
- Glycerine acetate (as a potential fuel additive)[24]
- Conversion to propylene glycol[25]
- Conversion to acrolein[26][27]
- Conversion to ethanol[28]
- Conversion to epichlorohydrin,[29] a raw material for epoxy resins
Film Industry
Glycerol is used by the film industry when filming scenes involving water in order to stop areas drying out too quickly.[30]
Glycerol is a precursor for synthesis of triacylglycerols and of phospholipids in the liver and adipose tissue. When the body uses stored fat as a source of energy, glycerol and fatty acids are released into the bloodstream. Circulating glycerol does not glycate proteins as do glucose or fructose, and does not lead to the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). In some organisms, the glycerol component can enter the glycolysis pathway directly and, thus, provide energy for cellular metabolism (or, potentially, be converted to glucose (gluconeogenesis)).
Before glycerol can enter the pathway of glycolysis or gluconeogenesis (depending on physiological conditions), it must be converted to their intermediate glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate in the following steps:
|Glycerol kinase
|Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
|Dihydroxyacetone phosphate
|Triosephosphate isomerase
|Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
The enzyme glycerol kinase is present mainly in the liver and kidneys, but also in other body tissues, including muscle and brain.[31][32][33] In adipose tissue, glycerol 3-phosphate is obtained from dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) with the enzyme glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Glycerol has very low toxicity when ingested; its LD50 oral dose for rats is 12600 mg/kg and 8700 mg/kg for mice.
Historical cases of contamination with diethylene
On 4 May 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration advised all US makers of medicines to test all batches of glycerol for the toxic diethylene glycol.[34] This followed an occurrence of hundreds of fatal poisonings in Panama resulting from a falsified import customs declaration by Panamanian ex/im firm Aduanas Javier de Gracia Express, S. A.. The cheaper diethylene glycol was relabeled as the more expensive glycerol.[35][36]

I've been learning a lot more about the life of an EHR consultant thanks to the addition of Healthcare IT Central's job board to the Healthcare Scene family. Not to mention all of the amazing health IT career blog posts on Healthcare IT Today. For example, it was fun to read this Health IT consultant post from 2011 talking about the opportunity that would be available. That has certainly played out.
Take a look at some of the jobs posted by the top health IT consulting and health IT recruiting companies. Here are a few examples:
- Beacon Partners
- CIPE Consulting Group
- Cordea Consulting
- Walker Healthcare IT
- Greythorn
- First Choice Professionals
- Healthcare IS

Cooling system can be fixed at damaged Norwich ice rink
Norwich - The Norwich Municipal Ice Rink won't reopen by the March 7 target date, but officials got some good news when refrigeration company crews determined the damaged existing cooling system could be repaired, avoiding the need to rent a temporary system.
Rink Authority Chairman Francois "Pete" Desaulniers started this week hoping the rink could reopen early, in time to salvage a youth hockey tournament this weekend. But he learned Tuesday that while the existing system is being repaired, crews need time to cool the rink floor before making new ice.
"I can't take a chance of ruining the floor in the rink," Desaulniers said.
According to rink Manager Mia Sanca in a letter to the authority Tuesday, the repaired compressors will come back online Friday, and the rink should be ready to "build ice" by late Sunday. It will take four days to paint the floor and make ice, so the rink should be ready later next week.
The rink was forced to close Feb. 13 after the compressor system malfunctioned and shut down and an ammonia leak forced evacuation of the building.
Desaulniers said he doesn't yet have the exact cost of the repairs, but it will be approximately $50,000. Crews from National Refrigeration Service Group Inc. of Milford worked on the system over the weekend and this week.
The rink authority had planned to rent a temporary cooling unit from the Carrier Co. for $14,000 per month, but Desaulniers said the quick repair made more sense, avoiding the rental cost.
A report from the company said several leaking tubes were welded and repaired and the compressor system was pressurized.
"We cannot guarantee that the chiller will not develop additional leaks in the future, and the steps taken to return the chiller to service are strictly temporary," the company report said.
The rink authority last week voted to seek bid proposals for a new cooling system for the rink. Desaulniers said he will meet today with city Purchasing Agent William Block and Norwich Public Utilities officials to write the specifications for the bid.
National Refrigeration officials have recommended: conducting daily tests of pH levels in the brine used in the compressor system and weekly samples tested at a lab for ammonia levels; replacing the ammonia detector with one that would sound the alarm in the public areas of the rink; installing an auto-alert system that would send a signal to emergency responders if ammonia levels reached a certain point; and placing a large exhaust fan in the compressor room to allow emergency responders to enter the room.
