I'm proud to announce that around Thanksgiving time here in the US, Dropbox's forum moderator team became 12-strong. This new moderator happens to be me, and I can't thank the team enough.
I did some investigating, and found that Arash Ferdowski (one of the co-founders, for those who aren't familiar with the service) was the one who granted me this legendary status. I've talked with him since, and have thanked him numerous times for this. T. Hightower, another fellow mod, pointed out in this forum thread that it's an honor to not only be granted moderator status, but to be acknowledged by one of the co-founders for activity on the forums, to which I definitely agree to.
I will definitely continue to be active on the forums, and help as many users as I can, and I'll gladly be a Dropbox user for life. Arash, I have to thank you greatly once again for this honor. You and Drew came up with the best cloud syncing service out there, and I'm happy to be part of the moderator team. Also, congrats on hiring Guido! I see many more exciting stuff for Dropbox to come ahead.
Congratulations, and thanks again, guys!

Pound StretchingLeave a comment
October 3, 2012 by Rhi
A few weeks ago, I watched an edition of Dispatches on Channel 4 entitled "The Secrets of Poundland".
It billed itself as an expose of the practices behind the high street retailer's pricing structure, and showing the truth behind the way in which they manage to keep their £1 price promise whilst still showing massive amounts of growth – bucking the economic trend of other retailers. In truth, it seemed to be an exercise in stating the bleedin' obvious whilst engaging in that wonderful, middle-class hand-wringing about how poor people are not only reeeeeally poor, but also too stupid to comprehend basic ideas of value for money, whilst completely ignoring the key issues faced by people living on low incomes. Same old, same old.
You can read an article about the programme on the Dispatches website, written by the presenter, the epically named Harry Wallop. But the key points of the programme were that Wallop was, hilariously, astonished to discover that sometimes Poundland stuff is worth less than a pound. And sometimes you can get better deals at supermarkets. And sometimes they present an extra-free deal as being better than it actually is. Obviously, this was all presented through the prism of exposing the retailer as tricking customers into buying something they could get cheaper elsewhere and how this is potentially a matter for Trading Standards. If this is a reason for reporting a retailer, I can only imagine that Waitrose are Public Enemy #1 in the Trading Standards office, and how the DFS "sale" has escape Dispatches scrutiny so far is a mystery.
I shop at Poundland quite a lot. I live in a city where there are no less than four stores
within walking distance. I find them very useful for picking up craft supplies for youth groups, as well as a good source of cheap headphones for wearing when out and about (I kill headphones with alarming regularity by wearing them to bed). However, I'm not a bloody imbecile. I can tell when something is good value or not. One thing Wallop got quite excited about exposing was the fact that a number of different "brands" sold within Poundland have the same PO Box address. Turns out, they're all owned by Poundland and the different names are to give an "artificial impression of choice and range". It's not really artificial to most people, I wouldn't have thought. When you go into Poundland, you're looking to buy something for a quid. I couldn't care less what the name on the label is – you don't look at the fireplace when you're poking a fire made with bootleg coke.
The aspect of the programme which I found most disturbing was when Wallop set up a "rival store" along the street from a Poundland, inviting people in and telling them that Poundland sell different sizes of product to those which you would find in a supermarket. For example, a Warburton's loaf in Poundland is only 600g, as opposed to the 800g you could apparently buy in Tesco that week at two for £2. They also addressed the shrinking sizes of packs – instead of the two packets of Disco crisps you could buy a few years ago for a pound, now you only get one. That Poundland have had to maintain their profit margin in the current economic climate seemed to come as a real shock to poor Harry. I'm not sure whether he thought they were engaged in some kind of economic magic circle to allow them to maintain pack sizes at the same price regardless of the economy, but my overwhelming response was "Meh. It's still only a quid though. That's still A Good Deal". Which it is when you're less interested in simple value for money, and more concerned with what percentage of your weekly income will be spend on consumables.
Which brings me to the real point which Dispatches completely missed about why people shop in Poundland, and it's an error most people make when discussing how to shop on a budget. In order to prove that Poundland was not the best value for money, they compared their prices with those of the big four supermarkets, and discovered that amazingly you could buy things cheaper there. However, these weren't like for like comparisons. These were based on overall value. For example, if a jar of Nescafe coffee at 100g was in Poundland, they would suggest that if Tesco were selling a 500g jar for £4.50, that was better value, and therefore you'd be better off buying from Tesco. Which is true. However, when you're on a weekly income, your food budget might only be around £15. Which means, in order to get value for money, you are spending nearly a third of your food money on coffee. Yes, it lasts. Yes, it's a good deal. But I'd prefer to spend a pound a fortnight on coffee, than take the financial hit. Morrisons are especially good at bulk deals which although work out cheaper overall, are useless to those with a limited amount to spend. This is the reality of living on a budget. You can't blow half of it on chopped tomatoes, however good a deal it might seem. You buy what you need, when you need it, down to counting out how many onions you're likely to use during the week. Anything else is financial suicide.
So although Dispatches were technically correct in pointing out that you can get things cheaper elsewhere, they ignore the reason why people shop at Poundland – you know how much everything will cost, and you can monitor what you spend as you go. I know my headphones would last longer if I bought Skull Candy from HMV at £50 a pop. But I don't HAVE that kind of money to shell out. I have £1 every month for a new set of headphones, and I can get a new mop every so often for less than the price of a phone call. I'm find with that. However, I also know that Semi-Chem three doors up from Poundland sell air freshener for 79p, and I know when supermarkets are likely to have their Crash and Dent chiller cabinets groaning under the weight of almost-out-of-date treats. If you don't have money, you can't afford to be stupid when it comes to the value of things.
The idea I found most offensive was that poor people wandering into Poundland would be unaware of all of this. That those of us who shop there wouldn't work out that some things in there were worth less than a pound. No Shit Sherlock. It's a business, they make money. They don't do that using a printing machine. Only people who don't need to worry about spending money could ever afford to walk round Poundland in a spending-frenzied haze.
PS One thing which was mentioned in the show which made me chuckle was the concern about Poundland selling Stila make-up products which were, according to the manufacturers, potentially 8 years old. Stila were at pains to point out that they didn't approve of Poundland selling their products. What a shock. I can confirm that those Stila products are pretty good – I've been using one for the last month with no ill-effects. Not sure what that says about the quality of Stila, but evidently their preservation techniques are excellent.

The TRS MP from Karimnagar requested the Union Ministry of Finance to grant special status to the newly formed state Telangana as it is being considered for Andhra Pradesh.
In a letter written to Arun Jaitley, Vinod Kumar said, "It was learnt from the print media, that the Finance Minister had held a meeting with top officials of Andhra Pradesh and announced that Special Status to AP will be granted within a fortnight".
Vinod Kumar wrote, "In this regard, the press statements hurt feelings of 4.5 crore people of Telangana and alarming for the Telangana government for not including its name in the announcements".
"I further submit that, according to AP Reorganisation Act, Section 94 (1), the Central Government shall take appropriate fiscal measures including offer of tax incentives to the successor states, to promote industrialisation and economic growth in both states.
"Sub section (2) says the central government shall support the programs for the development of backward areas in the successor states, including expansion of physical and social infrastructure," the letter interpret.

By JAMIE LEE, Modern Healthcare, March 23, 2013
In what could turn out to be one of the largest ever population health investigations, researchers at the University of California at San Francisco plan to enroll 1 million people with smartphones in a worldwide cardiovascular study aimed at improving heart health.
The researchers are betting that medical app-armed smartphones will help them determine not only the causes of heart disease in particular demographic subgroups, but more quickly diagnose and treat heart disease in specific patients.
The project is essentially a worldwide expansion of the Framingham Heart Study, which tracked about 5,200 people living in Framingham, Mass., starting in the 1940s to determine the causes of heart disease. The Framingham research famously linked cigarettes to an elevated risk of heart disease and reported that high blood pressure increased the risk of stroke and obesity in addition to being a risk factor for heart failure.
"The Framingham model tracked participants in one city," Dr. Jeffrey Olgin, chief of cardiology at UCSF, said in a news release. "Imagine that model on a global scale and taking the collected data to treat heart patients so precisely that we can account for their gender, age, ethnicity and lifestyle factors."
As part of the new study, participants will use smartphones and mobile apps to track their heart rate, blood pressure and pulse rate. That information will then be transmitted to researchers.
One app that the study plans to use allows patients to record their heart rate by holding a finger over the camera for about 40 seconds. Another app lets a patient take his or her own ECG.
"We hope to be able to collect copious amounts of data on a large segment of the population so we can develop robust and accurate models to predict the occurrence of heart disease in people who don't yet have it, or slow the progression in people who already have heart disease," Olgin said in the release.
Olgin and the study's other researchers were not available for interviews.
Clinicians increasingly use smartphones and mobile applications to gather data, monitor a patient's health, and improve clinical outcomes in some instances.
An estimated 40,000 health and wellness mobile apps are on the market today. About 7,000 of those apps are intended for use by clinicians and healthcare professionals, and roughly 500 new mobile health apps launch every month, according to information provided by a Qualcomm executive during a congressional hearing last week.
Mobile health experts often cite cardiovascular disease and diabetes as two therapeutic categories likely to benefit from utilization of mobile technology.

Man, it's been a long day. Bet'cha wondering why I didn't post something earlier, ain't'cha?
So we got up this morning bright and early (for breakfast and the final panel discussion), and found the rapid-checkout bill under the door. A quick perusal told me I was in some trouble - seems it was slightly over what it should have been...almost $500.00 over!
Needless to say, it kick-started my heart the way no coffee possibly could have! Please understand, the hotel staff was courteous and fixed the overcharges professionally, but since part of the overcharges were local Internet access numbers being billed as long-distance, I decided it would be prudent not to add any additional charges to the now-corrected hotel bill.
But it was a day that ended on one heckuva note...the panel, consisting of Sam Edwards, Rhonda Williams, Art Gilmore, Toni Gillman, George Ansbro, Peg Lynch, and Bill Murtough, moderated by Anthony Tollin, was not only interesting, but hysterical. Peg Lynch told a story about the first (and hopefully only) time she was in charge of a small local radio station, and the merry mix-ups that occurred when double-entendres went out over the air, station employees making out on wicker furniture, open mikes, and...well, you get the general idea. I laughed so hard my sides still hurt! (And after the shock of the hotel bill this morning, I really needed the giggles!)
The 25th Annual Friends of Old-Time Radio Convention is now history itself...those of us fortunate enough to be there take with us fond memories of gracious stars and guests spending their time to share with us their memories of a time gone by.
Posted Sun, Oct 22, 200100 at 00:42:16
A great evening of entertainment and enjoyment!
Peg Lynch and Bob Hastings were again Ethel and Albert...Bob is one of my favorite people here, and Peg's scripts sound like she's been listening to my conversations with my wife. They are funny because they are so real that everyone who hears them can identify with them.
Arthur Anderson again directed an episode of Let's Pretend,this time starring Rosemary Rice as Cinderella. I realize it's silly for an old guy who did not grow up listening to Let's Pretend to say, but I love being a "Little Pretender" for a short while, so look forward to these particular recreations. To add icening to the cake, Ruth Last and Elaine Hyman were side-splitting as the evil step-sisters...the scene where Dick Beals as the Price's page attempts to fit the slipper onto the stepsisters was so funny it was almost painful!
Gary Yoggy, who this year received the Ray Stanich Award for his prolific writings, directed an episode of Father Knows Best, with Arthur Anderson in the title role. In this episode, though, Sam Edwards stole the show as Bud, forced to help his father build a barbecue.
Although there is a panel tomorrow, so this won't be my last diary entry for the twenty-fifth annual Friends of Old-Time Radio convention, tonight was unquestionably the height of this year's con!

This has been an exhausting day - many old friends arrived today, including two of my favorite people, Ruth Last and George Ansbro...got to chat a bit with them and many subscribers to the OTR Digest who continue to stop me. (So far, no one has threatened to lynch me, anyway... ;)
Took lots of photographs of rehearsals and performances that I hope to get posted to the pages real soon, and the few panels I had time to look in on were interesting (and fun, too!).
We're at dinner now, looking forward to some great recreations later this evening!

[Man, am I embarrassed...I typed this up for sending to the server last evening, then decided to watch the Jay Leno monologue and...er...fell asleep. Gees, I must be getting old! --cfs3]
Another amazing night at the convention - after having a delightful dinner with Rosemary Rice and Bob Hastings, and not winning any door prizes this evening (hey, I won last night, so I can't much complain!), the program started with Bob and Rosemary delighting the crowd with "The Glad Gladwyns," then joining with an all-star cast for a "Richard Diamond" episode.
Rosa Rio, a legend in silent film and radio performances, played they keyboard with a gusto and precision not seen in most players half her age - it was an awe-inspiring performance. Then Will Hutchins and Dick Beals, with another all-star cast, performed the Christmas episode of "The Six Shooter," which originally starred Jimmy Stewart.
A stop at the bar to thank some of the stars for their amazing performances, and we're back in the room, looking forward to tomorrow and more great fun!

What a day...
Spent the morning going to a mall, hitting a Radio Shack, Sears, and Staples to get the equipment I needed to build a cable to connect the camera to the old laptop. Son-of-a-gun, I not only built the thing, but it works! (It don't look so very good, mind you, but it works...)
I also got to chat with old friends, and new ones, too - many people who are subscribers to the OTR Digest have said hello, and I hope to meet even more tomorrow. Taking pictures during the performances and rehearsals filled the rest of my day.
Gotta run...I took a break during dinner to make this diary entry. But I want to get back as quickly as possible - I'm seated next to the lovely Rosemary Rice, and frankly am the envy of most of the other men there.

The first full day of the convention is over, and...I screwed up. I forgot the serial cable that connects my digital camera to the computer That means when the two SmartMedia cards I have fill up, I can't take any more pics!
Although no one sells the Mac cable for this two-year-old-plus camera (trust me, I did a thorough search of the web this afternoon), I did find plans to make one...so tomorrow morning, bright and early, I'm off to Radio Shack and Staples for parts. (*sigh*)
Other than that little snafu, it was a great day at the con. Got to talk to lots of old friends that I usually have to type to, and enjoyed the evening's festivities (which included the winning script in last year's contest, a performance by legend Johnny Western, and a fan-performed Molle Mystery Theater) a bunch. And I won a nifty door prize - 10 tapes from Gary and LaDonna Kramer's Great American Radio which Annie will be picking out tomorrow.

Gad, I love this convention. Last year, there was no Wednesday night social, primarily due to the higher hotel rates. This year, however, a die-hard group of us gathered together around the cheese trays, wine bottles, and beer baskets to enjoy a little pre-convention fellowship. Annie and I talked to Jay Hickerson among others, and Jay played the keyboard to the enjoyment of all who arrived for the con early.
Gad, I can't wait for the con to start tomorrow - I'm looking forward to talking with old friends like George Ansbro and Bob Hastings, and new friends I haven't met yet.

Re "Time to plot a new course," editorial, Nov. 13
To lay blame for the failings of the L.A. Unified School District at the feet of Supt. David L. Brewer smacks of scapegoatism. Having had my daughter at one of the "best" charter schools in Los Angeles, and having removed her to a private school, I am convinced that the problem lies with the administrators, teachers and teachers union, who are more concerned about their own fiefdoms than about serving our children.
And lest we forget, the most important component to a successful school system is parents.

Today my precious little son is 6 weeks old. It really is amazing how fast time goes by, and I am reminded daily to appreciate the time I have with my tiny baby, and to enjoy his life the way that he is now. It has been an incredible six weeks. I knew that I was going to enjoy being a mom...but I never knew how incredibly full and blessed I could feel. I am amazed at how God allows such a strong bond between mother and child and how instantly so attached Jason and I were to Ryan. These past few weeks haven't been necessarily easy, but the adjustment went a lot more smoother than I thought it would be. I also could not be more grateful for the amazing friends and family who have surrounded us with their love and support. My mother in law was a saving grace those first few weeks as I healed and adjusted to caring for my newborn. She was so encouraging, and made me rest even when I didn't want to. She was continually encouraging me and it was such a blessing just to have her here to help with the baby and care for us as well. She cleaned, cooked, and held little Ryan while I rested for a while. Jason and I even were sick for a day, and I don't know what we would've done if she wasn't here to help. We have also been so blessed with the many gifts from family and friends...it's a little overwhelming how many people came to visit and love on us and Ryan, but we were so thankful...and also the many meals we have been blessed with....and we are STILL receiving meals...it's the best thing ever!! I really feel that God has given us such an amazing community of people, and it's His way of showing His love toward us as well.
Ryan is precious. I am so in love, and I can't get enough of him. I still love the fact that he is ours, and I don't have to hand him off to someone else. There have been nights that have been really hard and days where all I want to do is sleep...but it's a happy exhaustion. And, I feel like things are becoming more normal as I am recovered and life is picking back up again. Ryan is on a 2.5-3 hour schedule, and has had sleep stretches at night from 4 to 6 hours! :) He is really a good baby...he fusses when he's tired, but he rarely cries and is pretty content to be with us, and loves to lay and stretch his little arms and legs. He has already gained so much weight. I weighed him today and he is 10lbs 7 oz! He has has gained 4 lbs since birth!! He is such a good eater, and I praise the Lord for that gift! I really prayed about nursing and wanting him to eat well, and God has allowed that to happen...and his double chin shows it! I am looking forward to seeing him grow and mature and for his little personality to show. Thank you to all of you who have been so encouraging and loving to us, we have been so thankful and excited about the family that God is giving to us.

World's safest countriesBy Paul Feinstein of Stacker |
World's Safest Countries
When traveling internationally, especially for the first time, many tourists research their destination country's safety. What makes a country safe? It could be whether you can walk your dog at night without looking over your shoulder or even how the country fares on women's rights.
Gallup conducted a Global Law and Order poll to answer this complex question, interviewing more than 148,000 adults in 142 countries or areas in 2017 with a baseline of four questions to determine citizens' own feelings of safety in their daily lives. Questions included whether people felt confidence in their local police, whether they felt safe walking at night, if they've had anything stolen in the past 12 months, and whether they've been mugged or assaulted in the past year.
Stacker analyzed the full results to rank the safest countries in the world. Consider these locales next time the travel bug strikes.

Scott's Column
Starting Photography as a Business (Continued)
August 1, 2014
By Scott Lewis
When we left off last month we had covered the following:
Since last month I received my "Certificate of Reservation of Entity
Name" which reserves the name "Scott Lewis Photos" for 120 days. That
cost me $41.08 (Total to date since June 1 = $180.07). The next step
will be to renew the name for some number of years. This needs to be
done during the last 30 days of receiving this certificate. So this will
be finalized in October.
My son did a great job drawing a camera logo. I saved it in a
number of variations (black on white, white on black, various shades of
gray on a transparent background, etc).
Business Cards
With the logo... I ordered business cards through iPrint.com. I know how they print (full disclosure... I work for the company that owns them). I did not get any special discount. I ordered the Premium Linen card stock (because the plant engineer told me it gave the best results). I paid $20.57 for them. Well worth it (Total to date since June 1 = $200.64). A hiccup occurred. Once I finished designing... and buying the business cards... I texted the preview to the engineer. He then told me that the linen stock would not be best for the design:
A black background would look much better on standard card stock with
our UV coating. Fortunately, I have access to the systems. I looked up
my order and changed the Product ID it was saved under
so it would print on the appropriate stock. They look great.
I received my sales tax certificate a few days ago. I will be required to log into their system to report sales tax every month... even if I do not have any sales tax to report. That is likely until I get this going.
I have had to go through all the photos on my web site to incorporate the logo my son created. I also changed the font I use for my name on prints. I originally used Tahoma. An easy to read font that will give good results on screen and in print. However, iPrint offered Copperplate as a font for the business cards. So I used that font for the business name only. I used a standard font for all the rest of the text on the business card. Of course... for consistency I changed the signature I use on my photos to the same font.
Next on the agenda, once the web site was working well enough, was to
reach out to a potential client. I am still going to be vague about
that. I sent an email to one potential business entity to setup an
appointment. I have not heard back. I am sure I will not hear back
unless I reach our more forcefully... meaning I need to call them on the
As I write this, it is literally the last weekend of July and I have a massive server upgrade to perform this weekend. So I can't push harder on this side business. Next week I plan to call the business entity, and if that falls through I have a few other business entities to contact. I am hoping one will take me up on my offer. I will tell you about it soon. Hopefully next month.
I am getting close to making some money as a photographer. I did a photo shoot for my son's friend with a Boss 302 Mustang (see Car Corner article this month). I will get paid a very small fee for this job. Because he is helping me (I can use the photos I took of his car to try to get more business), I am not charging him for my time or any of the digital photos. I am only going to charge him a small profit for the main print... a panoramic that will be framed. I have it on order and hope to see it very soon.
Hopefully next month I will have more to tell on the business plan.
At the least... next month I will probably report about this massive server upgrade at my day job that has me working two days on a weekend.

The info under represents the most complete list of airlines on the internet. For example, Narita – Chongqing already had Air China operating every day, whereas Narita – Wuhan sees twice-weekly China Southern service, so approval to enter the markets by Spring Airlines wouldn't have come easy, and Spring Airlines Japan is the group's reply to get round with it. The parking charges are barely larger than the previous LCCT rates as a result of it's now a covered carpark. However, I do suppose that we're all handled in a reasonably shabby approach by the airlines nowadays.
Moreover, Southwest's seating policy also has allowed it to load airplane passengers more shortly at the airport gate, allowing more flights per day and thus producing higher revenue. He selected me and I spent the summer mowing my teacher's lawn, washing his automotive and learning to fly. You can ebook your tickets online and may choose of your choice via on-line Monarch seat map.
By June 2002, in the aftermath of the impression of Sept. 11, Delta announced that it could velocity up the retirement of the 727 fleet with a completion target of April 2003 finishing the elimination of the aircraft from all main USA airways domestic service. More gasoline environment friendly two engine plane had been reaching the domestic market at a time when the airlines were struggling underneath greater and better gasoline prices. Airfare on China Airlines may be fairly pricey and in case you can select which plane to fly on, I would suggest the Boeing 777-300ER, the latest toy in China Airlines' stock. Singapore Airlines Suites cabin has a 1-2-1 configuration with a total of 12 suites, a 3rd of which was occupied that night.
It's just my FA friend who work there instructed me last Thursday that there is hiring happening, I also ship my utility by e-mail, however when I check their web site simply now they already eliminated the job hiring. If you check in something that's fragile, most airways will make you sign a type that limits their liability.

Technology exists to get the job done as efficiently as possible and PoE is best where large data transfers and the flexible distribution of power are needed. PoE and PoE+ are both elegant and entirely pragmatic choices for industrial applications. Using a single cable for both power and data saves cost in installation, deployment and maintenance expenses.
Explore our range of PoE products:
PoE ensures your IP cameras are always connected and video files are reliably transmitted to the NVR. Standard PoE is used on most IP cameras, with PoE+ used for PTZ cameras or cameras with fans and heaters for outdoor. If you have older cameras you don't want to replace but you do want the advantages of PoE, you can use a PoE Splitter to convert a camera's power and data supply. If you're looking to connect multiple cameras or other devices to your system, you can select from our managed PoE switches that include network management features.
Originally targeted for VoIP installations, PoE is rapidly extending into building automation networks, delivering electrical power and transmitting communication signals over standard low-voltage category cabling to a variety of end points. LED lighting, HVAC controls and other locally networked devices are well supported by the high availability of power, uninterrupted service and lower operating expenses. Overall, PoE improves network resiliency at a lower cost.
The convenience PoE for Digital Signage is easy to recognize. Using a single cable to both deliver content and power a device is a great advantage, and many don't realize that Ethernet cabling is ultimately cheaper than traditional AC wiring. Plus, the use of PoE eliminates the AC/DC connection as a path for surges into equipment, providing an extra layer of protection to your connected devices. For flexibility of placement, lower cost and ease of installation, PoE products from B+B SmartWorx are an excellent choice.
Using a remote field device with an Ethernet connection offers the same low installation and deployment costs as traditional RS-485 or RS-422 connections, making it a natural upgrade path for industrial networks. Deploying PoE also supports devices and sensors in areas not currently served with separate power cabling that are not well suited for wireless installations. For mission critical applications, using PoE also reduces the need to invest in separate UPS systems for remote devices by using the UPS supporting the central network server.

Click here to subscribe to the Justice Strategies Working Paper Series.
On June 7, 2006 Governor George Pataki signed into law an important change affecting sentencing in New York. Penal Law §1.05(6) has been amended to add a new goal, "the promotion of their (defendant's) successful and productive reentry and reintegration into society..." (Chapter 98 of the Laws of 2006), to the four traditional sentencing goals of deterrence, rehabilitation, retribution and incapacitation. This amendment became effective immediately.
This reintegrative sentencing model was developed by the Center for Community Alternatives in 2004 (See CCA Working Paper "Unlocking the Potential of Reentry and Reintegration" and championed by the Interfaith Coalition of Advocates for Reentry and Employment (ICARE), an alliance of communities of faith, direct service providers, and policy organizations including the New York State Council of Churches, Legal Action Center, Center for Community Alternatives, Reentry Net/NY and many congregations throughout New York State.
This amendment to New York's Penal Law marks a significant shift by the legislature in sentencing policy. The new law will require every judge presiding at sentencing in a criminal case to consider carefully the extent to which any given sentence will help to promote the convicted person's reintegration into society. Under the amended law a new and increased significance is placed on breaking the cycle of recidivism by imposing sentences of a length and type that will promote successful reintegration and increase public safety.
Click here for the text of the Bill.
In this paper Alan Rosenthal, J.D., and Elaine Wolf, Ph.D., describe a new approach to reentry practice and policy in the context of the processing of a criminal case. They view reentry planning as valuable at six points during the pendency of a criminal case and service of a sentence: decision making regarding pretrial release; plea bargaining and sentence negotiations; sentencing; jail and prison programming; the provision of supportive services at the time of release; and decision making regarding parole revocation. If such planning were systematically incorporated into these six phases of criminal case processing, people involved in the criminal justice system would be more likely to reintegrate into their communities successfully and maximize their capacity for productive citizenship. The authors argue that in order to unlock the potential of reentry as a vehicle to reduce reliance on incarceration and promote public safety, traditional sentencing must be replaced with a reintegration-focused sentencing model.

In New York, and all across the country, state legislatures are increasing existing fees, fines, and surcharges and creating new ones. Click here to learn more about policy considerations related to financial penalties.
Just when CCA had listed and accounted for all of the financial collateral consequences in our recent brochure "Sentencing for Dollars," new financial consequences have been legislated. On August 20, 2004 New York Governor Pataki inserted three new financial penalties into the Penal/V&T Law via his Budget Bill. These new financial penalties are detailed below. Click here for a revised up to the minute version of Sentencing for Dollars, CCA's chart and explanation of all NYS financial penalties.
1) Supplemental Sex Offender Victim Fee
For all sex offender convictions there will now be a new fee, in addition to the mandatory surcharge, DNA Databank fee, crime victim assistance fee, SORA change of address fee, Sex Offender Registration fee, etc., to be known as the Supplemental Sex Offender Victim Fee. This additional fee is the result of an amendment to Penal Law §60.35.
This fee will be a whopping $1,000.00.
2) Youthful Offenders Made Subject to all Fees and Surcharges
As any first year law student knows, a YO adjudication is not a conviction. In the past the courts have treated a YO as exempt from all of the fees and surcharges contained in the Penal Law and Vehicle and Traffic Law. No longer. By an amendment to Penal Law §60.35 and Vehicle and Traffic Law §1809 all YO's are now subject to the same fees, penalties and surcharges as their adult counterparts.
3) Authority to Impose Local Surcharge
Because the State of New York has now decided to take the fines imposed on certain Vehicle and Traffic violations, money that previously went to the local subdivisions, the Governor has included legislation in his Budget Bill that magnanamously permits the local legislative body to enact a local law authorizing the imposition of an additional surcharge of up to $10.00 for violations which are subject to the mandatory surcharge imposed by Vehicle and Traffic Law §1809. This change is found in the newly created Vehicle and Traffic Law §1809-d.

Taming the Web of Tongues
Internet entrepreneur David Lucatch is on a quest to make language sexy againby Andrew Westoll
Photography is not allowed at the Beverly Hills Hotel in L.A. But you wouldn't have known it amid the flickering flashbulbs in the hotel's ballroom on May 20, 2011.
Onstage, rock legends Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley rose from their seats to raucous applause from an enthusiastic audience. They were joined by television and radio personality Petros Papadakis and a representative from Guinness World Records who announced that Simmons, Stanley and Ortsbo.com—the revolutionary technology they had just launched with a live-streamed event called KISS Live & Global—had set a new world record for the most nationalities ever to participate in an online chat.
But there was one other person onstage that morning worth mentioning. Applauding too, to the left of Simmons and Stanley, was David Lucatch, wearing an understated tan jacket, blue jeans—and a wide smile. The crowd may not have known it, but in many ways that applause was for Lucatch.
The history of human communications technology goes something like this. At some point over the last 2.5 million years, humans invented language. Then, in 1982 we invented the Internet.
Language and the Internet are perhaps the two most transformative communications tools humans have ever come up with. Both have the power to unite people around a common goal, build communities and coordinate societies, and provide a platform for everyone to express themselves to anyone who will listen. How ironic then that ever since the Internet was born, language has been its sworn enemy.
English has been the lingua franca of the Web since its inception. Today, though, a growing cornucopia of languages is regularly used online. According to Internet World Stats, the use of English on the Web has grown 281 percent over the last 10 years. That sounds impressive until you compare it with Spanish (743 percent), Portuguese (990 percent) and Chinese (1,277 percent). The result is a formidable series of language barriers across the Internet. For a technology meant to epitomize openness and the free flow of ideas, this is a problem of existential proportions. The promise of the Web—to bring people from all walks of life together—is hamstrung by the myriad languages online.
It's an issue that David Lucatch wants to address. "If we think back to our grandparents' time, language was romantic, language was alluring. Someone spoke Italian and it was a beautiful thing. French was the language of love." But then the Internet came along, he says, and language became a lost art.
"Today, only one in four people on the Internet speak English. Chinese and Spanish have grown 12-fold in the last several years. Arabic has grown 500 percent. And as bandwidth in developing countries improves, you're going to see an even greater proliferation of new languages."
Lucatch, CEO of Intertainment Media Inc. and president of Ortsbo Inc.—and an alumnus of UTSC (BA 1985)—was in Beverly Hills that morning in May with members of the band KISS (his new business partners) for the global launch of Ortsbo.com, his latest venture in an entrepreneurial career that began before he had even left UTSC.
Ortsbo, which means "local" in Swedish, is a real-time multi-language translation tool that allows users anywhere in the world to chat instantly with one another. Hence the perfection of partnering with Gene Simmons, who is fluent in five languages and the owner of the most famous tongue in show business.
Ortsbo syncs with all major social media and online chat services, such as Facebook, MSN Live Messenger, Google Talk and Twitter, as well as Microsoft Outlook. As a Portuguese woman updates her Facebook profile in her language, her Chinese friends see her profile in Chinese, her French friends see it in French, and so on. The translation is immediate and seamless.
While Ortsbo begins life as a social media tool, the implications of the technology behind it are vast. Imagine what a real-time online translation tool could do for, say, global commerce, international diplomacy and higher education (Read "Speaking the Patient's Language"). While prudence is always advisable during the rollout of a new technology, it's plausible that Ortsbo—should it catch fire and become fully integrated into our online lives—could become as influential as email or Facebook.
Ortsbo Inc. is owned by Intertainment Media Inc., which Lucatch grew from the seeds of that first venture he started back in university. Intertainment focuses on new, traditional and social media projects that help brands connect with consumers and, according to The Globe and Mail, Ortsbo has made Intertainment one of the hottest stocks this year on the TSX Venture Exchange.
Indeed, these are heady times at the company's headquarters in Richmond Hill, Ontario. But when Lucatch speaks about the trajectory of his career, he eschews talk of stock valuations and dividends for topics like engagement, positive change and the value of our interactions with other people.
In 2000, Lucatch left ValueNet International, a company he started in 1995 and one of the first Internet ventures to go public in Canada, and devoted himself to helping charities raise money. Through this work, he had the opportunity to spend some time with Rudolph Giuliani, then mayor of New York City.
"It was just after 9/11," recalls Lucatch. "And what I learned from him is that decisions aren't always popular, but they're necessary. If you're leading a team or a family or an organization, someone has to make the decisions."
Jana Lucatch, David's wife, is remarkably sanguine about the roller coaster of life with a husband who is also a fervent entrepreneur. "We go where life takes us," she says. "It's about keeping an open mind. A lot of people have their life agenda laid out, but not David. He is 100 percent driven by his passion for innovation. And he's also passionate about breeding that next generation of entrepreneurs."
Management students at UTSC are familiar with that passion. Lucatch has mentored many business-minded undergraduates on campus. He has also served on the Principal's Alumni Advisory Committee, and in 2010 he received the Arbor Award for his contributions to the university community.
"You can't gather wisdom without experience," notes Lucatch. "To make the best decisions, you need the best information, and if someone like myself can provide young people with the information they need to help them avoid some of the pitfalls I hit along the way, I believe I'm doing a good thing."
David Lucatch's quest—in the words of Gene Simmons, "to take a sledgehammer to the Tower of Babel" — began with a bang. At the Beverly Hills Hotel event, KISS fans from 92 countries used Ortsbo.com to connect with their idols, setting a new world record in the process. Sure, the conversation had more to do with the onstage antics of a world-famous rock band rather than with something of geopolitical or educational consequence. But it was a conversation that heralded a momentous beginning.
Humans invented language to bring people together. We invented the Internet to do the same thing. With Ortsbo, language and the Internet have the potential — for the first time — to amplify each other's strengths.
"Ortsbo has the power to make language sexy again," says Lucatch. "It's fun, it's engaging, it's exciting. I can talk to you in one language and talk to another friend in another language. All of the old barriers are gone."

Before jumping into complicated topics with the veins and
the importance of health with veins and arteries, we are going to briefly
explain vasculature.
Vasculature is defined as the arrangement of blood vessels
in the body, or within an organ. Blood vessels is defined as the component of
the circulatory system, such as an artery, capillary, or vein that carries
Breaking it down even further, an artery is a blood vessel
conveying blood away from the heart, a capillary is any of the small blood vessels
that connects arteries to veins, and a vein is a blood vessel that transports
blood from the capillaries back to the heart.
It is important to keep all these things healthy, to have a
healthy heart and live a healthy life. Now that you know the definitions and
maybe understand them a little more we will be taking a look at how to keep
them healthy in later blogs.
If you have any questions, make an appointment and we would
be happy to help you!

Josie and I both went to B school and are fascinated by branding and the study of strategic planning of corporations. We study mission statements and vision statements for days and prefer that to figuring out how we are going to make money, which may be responsible for why we have brought in $0 dollars. Anyway, not the point, one company that has always particularly intrigued us was Coca-Cola and their mission statement is the absolute best we have ever seen.
- To refresh the world…
- To inspire moments of optimism and happiness…
- To create value and make a difference.
Josie and I attended a party at Hotel Erwin introducing Coke's new aluminum bottles. The benefits of these new bottles is that they are resealable, unbreakable, stay colder longer, environmental and, more importantly, they look super cool. In fact, in an upcoming post you can see we that we used them to make a Warhol inspired table for a tabletop decorating contest last night. It was a great evening and one that pushed the bounds of what we thought we already knew and experienced. We were fortunate enough to have already been sent the bottles a few months ago, but the drinks served that night included a UGs favorite, alcohol. Josie is a classic Coca-Cola so she got her drink with rum, grenadine, and sugar. I, Carina, am a Diet Coke head and my coke cocktail had vodka and lemonade. We spent the night on the roof, talking to other bloggers, drinking coke cocktails that they mixed and put back in the aluminum bottles and eating yummy food. Another way the evening pushed the bounds of what I already thought I knew is that I am from the Bay Area and am very familiar with the Joie de Vivre hotels but this was my first time in the Hotel Erwin and I loved the space. In the same way that the alcohol added a little extra to the coke, Venice Beach offered something a little extra to the Joie de Vivre hotel experience.
They were serving meatballs with a Coca-Cola bbq sauce and mini corndogs with a Coca-Cola ketchup. Both were awesome, but leave it to us to be completely uncouth. Right after arriving we ran into are blogger friend Christina of Hot Pink Manolos and as I grabbed tuna tartare on a wonton, Josie was talking, hit my arm, and all of my tuna and guac fell to the ground. Uncouth! I am pretty sure Christina expects these types of shenanigans from us because she just laughs and says, "The UG girls have arrived" and tweets the story for all to see.
It was a great night and we want to thank Hotel Erwin, Formula PR -Kat, in particular, Coca-Cola LA, and this one lady who works at High lounge on the rooftop of the hotel and let Josie and I take more than our fair share of food. She came straight to us and when we politely (unbelievable, I know) only took one dog, ball, or crostini she always let us know that it was ok to take as many as we wanted. We were getting three balls and dogs at a time and were very grateful! Way to go, Coke! You accomplished your mission: we were refreshed, optimistic, happy and were touched by the experience!
***By the way, watch out for when the UG Girls take on Coke Vs. Diet Coke coming to a UG YouTube channel near you…think: Mac vs. PC

You guys are awesome. And if you weren't uncouth, you wouldn't be you! 🙂

Below are my notes from the August 6th dinner between the Board of County Supervisors and School Board. These are my notes – unless noted nothing here is verbatim. If I misrepresent anyone's statements, I apologize and invite them to correct or clarify what I've reported here.
All School Board Representatives and Board of County Supervisors were in attendance, except for School Board Representative Gil Trenum. Mr. Trenum was on active duty with his reserve unit and could not attend. He did send a letter to every School Board Representative and County Supervisor expressing his opinion on the pool issue. I will attach that letter as soon as I get a copy of it.
School Board Chairman Johns began the meeting with the presentation given to the school board by PWCS and Moseley Architects on June 5, 2013. Chairman Johns then opened the meeting to questions or comments.
Supervisor Princippi asked if the pool would be available to private clubs because his daughter swims with a year round club and has to practice at 3:45 in the morning. He also asked if a needs assessment had been done. Chairman Johns said it would be open to private clubs. Tracy Hannigan, Recreation Director for PWC Parks and Recreation, reported there was a needs assessment completed in 2006 that indicated we needed more swim lanes and that the need has grown since then.
Supervisor Candland asked if they would confirm that the operating and maintenance costs were estimated to be $800,000 and year. Chairman Johns confirmed that $700,000 – $800,000 was their estimate based on Chinn's operating costs.
Supervisor Candland asked about whether they could open the pool to the public during the school day when children were using it for swimming lessons and other school sponsored activities. Chairman Johns said that the school division didn't think the pool could be open to the public during the school day because of safety concerns with students, but that it would be open to the public when high school swim teams were having practice.
Supervisor Candland questioned whether the school division could meet it's projected 70 – 100% fee recapture if it was closed to an extent during the day. No coherent answer was provided to this question. School Superintendent Steve Walts said that schools in other areas of the country provide pools and they have swimming programs as part of their core instructional program.
Supervisor Candland asked about special needs students and "free" education. Superintendent Walts said that swimming and therapy for special needs students would be "free" just like it is for other students.
Supervisor Jenkins talked about how they'd created a special district when they built Dale City and suggested that the private swim clubs could do that so that they'd have their swimming pool rather than the school division doing it.
Superintendent Walts said that the pool was in the CIP now and had been for years and noted that the school board and BOCS had approved the past CIPs. He said the county has a deficiency of swimming facilities and that the school division had to step in since kids are attending swimming at 4 in the morning because that's the only time the lanes are available. He said a pool could provide economic benefits to the county as parents would stay at hotels in the area and eat at restaurants in the area when we host big meets.
Supervisor Marty Nohe said we've had an issue with inadequate swimming facilities for years. He said there are three scenarios – the pool gets built at the school, the pool gets built at another location, or no pool gets built. He said there seems to be agreement that our community needs a pool, and asked "what is the benefit of having the pool be a school division pool versus a parks and recreation pool"? He noted that he'd have a hard time supporting the county, through parks and recreation, doing the pool without more information about the design and something to contrast it with.
Superintendent Walts said the instructional piece, which will prevent drowning, was the biggest benefit. Chairman Johns said that the school division felt it had to act since the county hadn't expanded Chinn or done anything else.
Recreation Services Director Hannigan said that parks and recreation had been closely consulting and advising the school division on the design for the pool since January.
Supervisor Jenkins brought up the analysis from the 2006 bond referendum and handed it out to everyone. He noted that the county deliberately chose to expand Chinn because it's used most frequently by county residents and is the most accessible location. He pointed out all of the research and community input that was gathered before that referendum.
Someone asked how much money remained from the 2006 bond referendum. County Chief Executive Melissa Peacor indicated that she didn't recall. Supervisor Candland distributed a document prepared by the Chief Executive's office on July 31, 2013 that indicated that $14 million in bonds from the 2006 referendum was still available from the parks and recreation portion {see this article for that document}.
BOCS Chairman Stewart noted that the school board was split and asked what it would take to make the no votes yes votes.
School Board Representative Steve Keen said he's mostly opposed to the pool. He said that based on the research done in 2006, one more pool won't be anywhere near adequate. He said if the intent was to provide swimming lessons to all of our students, then one pool wouldn't be enough. He said that once this pool gets built at the 12th high school there will be a cry from every other school in the county for them to have pools as well. He said he needs to see the long term plan for this and whether this is the start of something bigger. He said if it's something bigger then it needs to have an actual plan behind it and needs to go to the voters for approval. He said he doesn't trust the BOCS to live up to its promises on funding the school division because they keep changing what they say they'll provide. He noted that the 5-year plan was a large part of the reason the credit reporting agencies have given PWCS such a high rating, but that the 5 year plan has become more of a 1 year plan as it has no validity beyond one year and the BOCS never gives the school division what they say they will.
School Board Representative Alyson Satterwhite said she's opposed to the school division building the pool. She noted class sizes and having to beg for sufficient funding for teachers and supplies and classrooms. She noted that this year the school division cut the budgets to our schools, canceled popular programs, and laid off teachers because of budgetary issues. She said it was inexcusable for them to be having this meeting now – that it should have happened months ago. She said from her perspective, we need a pool but the school division can't afford it and said if the BOCS built it with the bonds from Chinn or other bonds AND operated and maintained it, then she'd be fine with it. She noted that the school division would be subsidizing the pool because they'd use the designs PWCS paid for, the parking lot PWCS built and will maintain, will use the school division's on site security, and will use the school's physical plant.
Supervisor Wally Covington said this whole thing was like "a pig in a poke". He said it hasn't been well thought out or planned and communicated properly. He said if the BOCS is going to take this on then they should have a comparison between the cost and benefits derived from expanding Chinn and the cost and benefits derived from building the school pool. He said they should investigate the deal with Dr Hill at NVCC in more detail because the deal with Freedom is a great one and if we can duplicate that with NVCC then maybe we ought to do that instead. He said meetings between the school division and county should have been reported to them and that the secrecy about the pool wasn't the way things should have been done. He said decisions about funding and responsibility should have been made months ago.
Chairman Stewart said he knows we've needed more pool space but that adding on to Chinn "wouldn't be sufficient to meet community needs". He said we have to do what's most cost effective. He asked if the school pool can be part of the solution and again asked what it would take for the no's to be yeses.
Supervisor Nohe reiterated that he's not ready to say that the school pool is the best solution for the county as a whole if they have to pay for it on their side. He said he agreed with Supervisor Covington that he'd need a cost / benefit analysis for Chinn or something else versus the school pool to even consider that.
School Board Representative Dr Michael Otaigbe said that he thinks the pool is a wonderful thing for the children. He said we came up with the Governor's school when we realized that we were sending our best and brightest out of the county to TJ for STEM education. He challenged everyone in the room and said "our children need this". "We are one of the most wealthy county's in the country. We should be able to tell our children that they will be able to swim when they graduate from high school!"
School Board Representative Lille Jessie said she was shocked that the school division was even talking about a pool and noted the desperate need to reduce class sizes, increase teacher pay, and improve teacher and staff professional development. She then said that when she was a child, African Americans weren't allowed in the community pool, that her recreation was watching other children swim. She said that she always considered swimmers kind of elitist, but that when her family moved here and became middle class, they made sure their children could swim. She said that to them it was a sign that they'd made it and were equals with the other middle class families. She said that as a school principal she's realized that children all learn differently and all excel at different things. That some children are gifted in art, others in spacial things, and others are gifted physically. She said some children only come to school because of PE, and, because of that, she supports the school pool. She said that surprised her, but it was what she realized she believed when she thought it through.
Chairman Johns said he supported the pool. He noted that the contract will come up for a vote in December or January and that the pool will be an option. He said that from his perspective, the pool is an opportunity for both boards to work together and create a joint public / public partnership.
Chairman Stewart said I get your concerns but need to know what needs to be done to make this happen.
School Board Representative Keen reiterated his request that the BOCS give the school division the money we need, even if you have to raise taxes to do it. If you won't pay for it then say so. Your word has to mean something.
School Board Representative Betty Covington said that she thinks swimming is a lifelong skill, that senior citizens are still swimming later in life but aren't playing baseball or football, and that the pools needs to be built. She said the central location of the 12th high school makes including swimming in the core curriculum easier. She noted the mother and child who drowned in Lake Montclair this summer and said a swimming program in the schools might have prevented that. She said we need to figure out how to pay for the pool and need to work together on that.
School Board Representative Satterwhite spoke up again and said we come before you every year on the budget. She said that the cuts they made to schools this year affected instruction. She said a 1 student per classroom reduction is minimal, but it's a start and is one less student a teacher has to worry about. She said if PWCS does the pool then their focus shifts from education and instruction to maintaining, managing, and paying for a pool. She said we're shifting our focus and that's not good for our children. She reiterated that if the BOCS were to take advantage of the school division's advance work and build and manage the pool, then she's OK with it.
School Board Representative Lisa Bell said that until recently she hasn't heard of the desperate need for swimming lessons or public safety. She said that Steve Keen's comment was correct – one pool wouldn't be enough for swimming lessons for all students as part of their instructional day. {No one contradicted her on this – in fact it was evident to all in the room that more pools in more schools were intended} She also said that the school division has already said hydrotherapy for special needs students won't be provided as part of their individual educational plan. She said she agrees with what Alyson said and would like to add that she needs to see the future plans spelled out. She also reminded the room and Superintendent that the school pool was not mentioned anywhere in the CIP, ever.
Chairman Stewart said that if the county manages the pool then the school division will have to pay rent for swim teams to use it. No School Board members expressed concern with that.
Chairman Stewart said that from a governmental standpoint, "we don't have access to the children like you do". "We can't require swimming lessons". He said the schools can.
Supervisor Caddigan thanked everyone for coming to the meeting. She said it should have happened sooner and should happen more frequently.

What Matters When Buying an Autoclave? 8 Factors to Consider Before You Buy
Purchasing an autoclave is a significant investment for any research facility, so it is important to work with the right autoclave manufacturing company. At Consolidated Sterilizer Systems, we take great pride in the autoclaves we build and believe these eight factors set us apart:
1. Experience and Heritage (est. 1946)
With over 68 years of experience, we are among the oldest manufacturers of autoclaves in the industry. Born and raised in Boston, MA, on principles of excellence and the commitment to quality, we began by supplying rolling door autoclaves and water stills to the U.S. Department of Defense in 1946. Today, still manufacturing in Boston, our autoclaves continue to serve the City's most innovative and renowned laboratories and research facilities, as well as other leading universities, hospitals, and biotechnology facilities around the world. From MIT, Stanford, and Yale to GE, Novartis, and the American Red Cross, CSS autoclaves are an integral part of scientific lab communities where top performance and reliability are a necessity.
2. Single Product Focus
Our sole company vision is to be the leaders in the laboratory steam sterilizer market. We have a single product focus to build the most reliable, affordable and customizable autoclaves in the industry—period. This is all we do. This single focus repeatedly makes CSS one of the lowest-cost providers in the market because engineering, sales and production efficiencies are increased. Most competitors are not as concentrated, typically manufacturing not only autoclaves, but other lab equipment too. This requires a fragmented manufacturing process and less focus on a single product. As a result, their divided effort and attention compromises craftsmanship and customer service.
3. Made in the USA
We have always proudly engineered and produced our autoclaves solely in the United States. We have a Boston Strong workforce, with an average tenure of 10 years; some of whom have been with the company for over 25 years! We believe it is important to our products' quality, and the overall US economy, that we produce all of our autoclaves in the USA.
4. Superior Customer Service & Serviceability
What's the use in buying an autoclave if the purchasing process is a nightmare and future customer support promises to be no better? At CSS, we firmly believe there is no place for poor customer service in the autoclave industry—so, we won't settle for anything less than the best for our customers.
Whether you are replacing an existing autoclave in an old building, installing in a new building, or just have an autoclave-related question, you can expect a full-spectrum service experience with CSS. When you call us, you will speak with a qualified representative from our factory in Boston, MA. We provide start to finish (turn-key) installations and offer training sessions for customers who want to learn how to use their new equipment. Our training includes tips for optimizing use, preventative maintenance, utility savings, and video tutorials.
Should any problem arise, we also have an extensive network of CSS factory-authorized and trained service engineers on-call during work hours to ensure timely resolutions that keep your autoclave downtime to a minimum. Additionally, our friendly service department staff is available by phone to answer your questions and recommend the best options and solutions for your specific needs. Just be sure to have your serial number ready when you call!
5. Cost of Ownership
At Consolidated Sterilizer Systems, we also address long-term autoclave affordability for our customers. We have designed innovative solutions to help reduce future costs of ownership. Our SterilCare Preventative Maintenance and Parts PAX Programs offer discounted parts packages and Preventative Maintenance plans from authorized service groups. We also emphasize sustainable "smart options" designed to reduce water and energy consumption. See more on this below. Additionally, our commitment to using non-proprietary parts keeps costs down and allows for us to have the lowest cost of ownership in the market.
6. Green Building Initiatives and Innovations
Staying current is one thing, but staying ahead is better. That's why Consolidated Sterilizer Systems is a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), a non-profit organization committed to providing a sustainable future through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings.
At CSS, energy and water conservation are central in our approach to autoclave technology. We constantly collaborate with architects and labs to determine what we can do to make the design and construction process seamless, cost effective, and eco-friendly. LEED credits are available through the use of our WaterEco Water Saving Systems and EcoCalendarTM programmable energy saving feature. As a result of these technologies, we were awarded with a Green Building of America Award for our contributions and commitment to a more sustainable future.
See how you could start saving today by checking out our easy to use water savings calculator.
7. Higher Grade, Customizable Systems
Our autoclaves must not only be reliable, but they must be manufactured to the specific needs of the laboratory for which they will service. These specific requirements can pertain to both performance and configuration.
- Performance: Each of our laboratory autoclaves—including our new large sterilizer, the MiniBulk™—are equipped with an Allen-Bradley Advantage Series Programmable Logic Controllers to help you select the cycles and temperatures best suited to your exact sterilization needs. Cycles names, user passwords, and exhaust rates are just a few of the features that can be edited by you.
- Configuration: Any one of our sterilizers can be custom-configured to your ideal specifications. The options are endless and CSS takes great pride with making sure each customer receives the exact unit they require/desire. Some examples of configuration options include: vacuum vs. gravity, house steam vs. integral generator, recessed vs. cabinet, plumbing on left-side vs. right-side, controller mounting left or right, hinge mounting left or right, load probes, water saving systems, remote access features, iPhone monitoring, etc.—the list goes on and on.
In addition to the above, we also provide state-of-the-art "smart options" to help customize or upgrade any autoclave for specific applications or requirements. Suitable for use with any new or existing autoclaves, our smart options support every improvement from introducing a water purification system, to installing a new steam generator, to leveraging water setback controls*, to cleaning your chamber more easily—CSS makes staying up to date a synch.
*Most of our equipment also comes equipped with an "EcoCalendar" feature that shuts down the steam supply to the autoclave. The intuitive shutdown time is programmable by each individual facility. This will save your facility on steam consumption, without even factoring in savings from our WaterEco Series.
8. Our Commitment to Continuous Improvement and Lean Manufacturing
Autoclaves play a major role in labs around the world, and these labs depend on their technology to grow and advance with them to ensure an equally successful future. For CSS, this means our job is never complete and there is always room to improve—this is the only way to keep building the best autoclaves, and it's the only way to continue to be an industry leader.
To stay ahead of the game we routinely attend and are invited to present at professional development opportunities, including national conferences and meetings. Some recent events include: AALAS, the International Conference on Sustainable Laboratories, the Annual Northeast Building and Facilities Management Show and Conference, and the Annual CDC International Symposium on Biosafety.
Additionally, we also take extreme pride investing in our local and global communities in an effort to give back—such as was the case when we joined the Haiti relief efforts back in 2010.
Remember, buying an autoclave from the right autoclave company is an investment in your lab's future, so we encourage you to compare us to the competition before purchasing your next autoclave. For more about our autoclaves, contact us today.
17 Questions to Ask Before Buying Your Next Autoclave
We created this 17-question eBook as a framework to help you explore and discover the exact type of autoclave best suited to your needs.

Couldn't have asked for a better year (well I could, but I'd be a greedy child to do that)...I had the opportunity to travel around the world to live, meet, and work with figures I've admired for years. And this year was hopefully a push towards a bigger splash of 2013. I'm really thankful.
2012 Adieu
