Ellen Baker loves rescuing cats, but she will forever have a special place in her heart for Bella, who died recently after a night at a pet hospital.Her beloved tabby cat had died despite 24 hours of tests, lab work and antibiotics."Losing her I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest," Baker said.Billed thousands for treatmentThat was just the first blow. The second was the bill.Baker said she was confronted with a hefty bill the moment she and a very sick Bella arrived at the vet."I was told, 'You have to pay ,204 up front to cover anything and everything that might need to be done,'" she said.Baker, distraught, handed over her credit card. Refusing to pay would have felt like sentencing Bella to death.The next day, Bella was still sick and the hospital needed another ,000 to continue treatment."The bill in the end was actually ,346," Baker said.Why such high prices?Outrageous? Not according to the hospital's medical director.Jessica Brotherton explained to us they have millions of dollars worth of high-tech equipment, from CT scanners to chemo rooms for cancer, and surgeons who perform life-saving surgery unheard of 10 years ago.As for charging up front, she says the hospital was forced to do that after dozens of people brought their pets in for expensive care, left, and never paid the bill.Hospital founder Dr. Doug Hoffman told us "there are certain treatments costs associated with that certain level of care given them, and there is a price associated with that.""Much of the equipment we have is the same you would have in a human hospital," he said.According to Consumer Reports Magazine, the hospital's fees are not unusual. The magazine also says veterinary costs have almost doubled since 2004. An overnight stay for testing typically costs over ,000, a torn ligament repair can cost ,000 and cancer treatment for a dog or cat will cost ,000 at the very least.So how can owners make sure that when their pet eventually gets sick, they're not hit with a surprise ,000 bill?Dr. Wendy Vogel urges her customers to purchase pet insurance ranging from 0 to 0 a year."I wish everyone with a pet had insurance on their pet," Vogel said.Although the cost may seem steep, she says it prevents sticker-shock for major care."They pay 90 percent of it in many cases," Vogel said. "So, if your bill is ,000, you pay only 0 out of pocket, and that allows people to do the things they want to do but could not do without the insurance."The tech site 2516

DENVER, Colo. – Experts across the country are working to make schools safer, especially when it comes to mass shootings. One aspect they’re focusing on is mental health.In the past 10 years, there have been 180 school shootings, according to studies done by CNN and information from the Department of Education.“In Colorado, we are the state that has had more school shooting than any state, so we take it very seriously,” said Ellen Kelty, the Denver Public Schools director of student equity and opportunity.According to Kelty, school shootings have been something districts and lawmakers deal with far too often since Columbine.While districts figure out how to make schools safe when it comes to security, some psychologists and lawmakers in Colorado believe it starts with addressing mental health.“The FBI has determined that most students who have done school shootings are suicidal.” Kelty said. “It is very related. I’ve done a lot of work outside of DPS about this topic and we do believe that if we had stronger mental health, we would have less school shootings.”According to the CDC, youth suicide increased by 56 percent in a decade. Psychologists believe addressing mental health and suicide in schools can help prevent school shootings.“We have 18 school-based centers that provide comprehensive health and mental health services,” Kelty said.DPS has increased the number of psychologists and social workers by 96 percent in the last five years.“We have a suicide risk assessment process that they go through if they think they’re in danger to suicide,” Kelty said. “We also have a threat assessment process they go through.” Last year, DPS did more than 2,700 suicide assessments.Lawmakers like Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet have dedicated their service to youth mental health. Jenet helped pass a law that students 12 years old or older can ask for mental health help without parental consent.“This approach is directly stopping school shootings,” Jenet said. “Our kids know what they’re going to do. They know if they’re going to commit suicide when they’re 16 years old and shoot up the school and take their friends with them and it ends in suicide. I believe every school shooting is a suicide mission. But if we’re able to identify a youth with suicide ideation well before they’re ready to commit suicide, we can keep our schools safer.”For victims of school shootings, this topic is complicated.“Kendrick sacrificed his life to help save his fellow students with a couple of other boys who helped him,” said John Castillo, the father of Kendrick Castillo who lost his life in the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado last year. Castillo has dedicated his life to combating school shootings. While he said there are many factors to make schools safer, mental health is one of the important ones.“The way I see it is there are two things that happen in school safety,” Castillo said. “One of them is early detection and prevention, and that’s where mental health comes in. Our teen suicide rate is off the charts, and those are all things that we need to consider and look at.”Experts agree that mental health is one of the most powerful tools to not only help identify potential school shooters, but also to help prevent school violence. 3287

CHICAGO – According to the USDA, the average head of lettuce travels 1,500 miles from harvest to plate. That transport leaves a heavy carbon footprint as flavors in the produce also begin to degrade. While many have looked to vertical farming as an Eco-friendly alternative, high costs have been a challenge.But inside a warehouse on Chicago’s south side, one entrepreneur hopes to unlock the secret to the future of farming.For the last three years Jake Counne, the founder and CEO of Backyard Fresh Farms, has been pilot testing vertical farming using the principles of manufacturing.“Being able to have the crop come to the farmer instead of the farmer going to the crop,” said Counne. “That translated into huge efficiencies because we can start treating this like a manufacturing process instead of a farming process.”It’s a high-tech approach – implementing artificial intelligence, cameras and robotics that help to yield leafy, organic greens of high quality, while reducing waste and the time it takes to harvest. Some have called it Old McDonald meets Henry Ford. Large pallets of vegetables are run down conveyor belts under LED lights.“The system will be cuing up trays to the harvester based on where the plants are in their life-cycle,” explains Counne.It’s the automation and assembly line he says that makes this vertical farming model unique. Artificial intelligence algorithms and cameras monitor the growth of the crops. Lead research and development scientist Jonathan Weekley explains how the cameras work. “They’re capturing live images, they’re doing live image analysis,” he said. “They’re also collecting energy use data so we can monitor how much energy our lights are using.”“So, what essentially happens is the plant itself is becoming the sensor that controls its own environment,” Counne added. Another factor that makes the process different is scaleability. Right now, Backyard Fresh Farms can grow 100 different varieties of vegetables with an eye on expansion.“There’s really no end to type of varieties we can grow and specifically in the leafy greens,” said Counne. “I mean flavors that explode in your mouth.”And it’s becoming big business. The global vertical farming market valued at .2 billion last year is projected to grow to nearly billion by 2026.Daniel Huebschmann, Corporate Executive Chef at Gibson’s Restaurant Group, says the quality of Backyard’s produce is of an extremely high quality. “We’ve talked about freshness, but the flavors are intense,” he says. “It’s just delivering an unbelievably sweet, tender product.”Counne says he has nine patents pending for the hardware and software system he and his team have developed in the 2,000 square foot space. But, he says the ultimate goal is to have the product make its way to grocery shelves nationwide. “The vision is really to build 100 square foot facilities near the major population centers to be able to provide amazing, delicious greens that were grown sustainably,” he said. If he succeeds where others have failed, his high-tech plan could get him a slice of the billion U.S. produce market. At the same time, he hopes to bring sustainable, fresh vegetables to a table near you. 3212
