  Being a self proclaimed lighting nerd, energy savings consultant and former police officer, I admit I am easily drawn to parking garages as a means of helping building owners. Stories like the recent shooting in a parking garage at the University of Missouri really get my goat.

  Jessica Taylor Science & Technology

  Stop me if you've heard this before: "Your website needs to be mobile-friendly." Companies have heard this mantra for years, but now a tangible penalty is in effect that punishes websites that don't render well on smartphones and tablets. Blame it on "Mobilegeddon."

• Universal precautions: They truly are worth it

  Christina Thielst Medical & Allied Healthcare

  When a Santa Barbara, California, patient tested positive for Hepatitis C last month, local public health officials investigated the cause.

• Researchers regenerate heart cells in mice

  Lynn Hetzler Medical & Allied Healthcare

  ​Myocardial infarction (MI) causes irreversible necrosis of heart muscle secondary to prolonged ischemia. Scar tissue begins to build almost immediately, leading to the loss of contractile myocardium, which is a frequent cause of chronic heart failure.

• Why have a strategic plan?

  Lou Figueroa Association Management

  Two years ago while starting a foundation, I was asked this question: "Do you have a strategic plan?" At the time I wasn't sure why I needed one, but today it makes more sense than ever.

  Connie Ulman Recreation & Leisure
