I have a NetBackup Enterprise v6.5 Solaris 10 Master with one Solaris 10 Media
server and one WIndows 2003 Server Media server all in a SAN environment
with SSO drives. (The master also functions as a media server.)
I have found that jobs for the master / media servers sometime assign the
backup to one of the other media servers - this makes the data cross over
the LAN. If the job stays assigned to the localhost, the job never leaves
the SAN.
Is there a way to force a client to use a particular media server?
Thanks for the help!

First, I want to commend you for bringing forth an important point that most of us miss today. I agree with most everything in this article but your description of a 'Catholic woman who surrenders her interests and talents to conform to a shallow stereotype of the good wife and mother' is offensive itself. God created woman to be just that, a good wife and mother, just as he created the man to be a good husband and father. In just one sentence you showed so much judgementalism that the rest of the article seemed just a promotion of the ideologies that brought us the destructive forces in the Catholic Church of the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. I know that can't be what you intended, but I lived through that time, I have watched as my family went from being good loving non-judgemental Catholics to becoming 'relativistic', selfish, unloving non-Catholics. I was among them, non-judgmental as I myself became involved in depraved, selfish, unloving sin. I followed the majority of the strong voices of the Catholic Church in the 1970s, with their strong attacks on the Church prior to Vatican II as a judgemental and harsh church. Yet it was the selflessness and love for others that brought us the overabundance of vocation to the priesthood and religious life in those days.
We see these old but grand churches that poor factory workers of old sacrificed to build and our modern Catholic that can't even make it to worship God once a week. We should demand first more of ourselves, but as Jesus demanded much of his disciples and 'judged' the pharisees, after we remove the beam from our own eye, we can help our brothers to get the straw out of their own.
We must recognize that while we need to judge ourselves first, we need to understand that their is value in being Catholic. Salvation only comes through the Church. Relativism has been accepted as the good while judgementalism as the bad. We must recognize the evil in the world but balance that for the love of individuals, helping them to overcome the sin. In effect, when we evangelize, we are judging the other person. We have to determine if they are Catholic or not. Many times we determine this by their actions. Most Catholics today need our help to grow their faith and come close to God again, we must 'judge' them in order to determine if they need our help.
Yes, the dark, angry, hateful judgement is evil and can't be tolerated in ourselves but we must use the 'judgement', in reality discernment, that helps us show true love for our brothers and those in the world that need our help.

Faculty Profiles
G. Reginald Daniel, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara; Affiliated Faculty, Department of Black Studies, Latin American and Iberian Studies, and Asian American Studies. While my research and teaching interests cover a variety of areas, I have been particularly active in interdisciplinary work in the areas of race and ethnic relations and general cultural analysis. Within these fields, I have examined a wide range of issues including, for example, multiracial identity and interracial relationships, and cultural formation and change. Moreover, my work reflects a range of methodological perspectives and is typically comparative and historical in nature. I have published numerous articles and chapters that cover these issues. Including among these are "Passers and Pluralists: Subverting the Racial Divide," and "Beyond Black and White: The New Multiracial Consciousness," which are chapters in the first comprehensive examination of multiracial identity in the United States, Racially Mixed People in America, (ed) Maria P. P Root (Thousand Oaks, CA.: Sage Publications, 1992). I am also author of "Black and White Identity in the New Millennium: Unsevering the Ties That Bind," which is included in the second comprehensive examination of multiracial identity in the United States, The Multiracial Experience: Racial Borders as the New Frontier, (ed) M. P. P Root (Thousand Oaks, CA.: Sage Publications, 1996). Some of my most recent chapters include "Multiracial Identity in Global Perspective: The United States, Brazil, and South Africa," in New Faces in a Changing America: Multiracial Identity in the 21st Century (ed) Loretta. Winters and Herman DuBose Thousand Oaks, CA.: Sage Publications (2004), and the chapter I coauthored with Josef Castañeda-Liles, "Race, Multiraciality, and the Neoconservative Agenda," which appears in Mixed Messages: Multiracial Identities in the "Color-Blind" Era, (ed) David Brunsma (Boulder, CO.: Lynne Rienner, 2005). My books More Than Black? Multiracial Identity and the New Racial Order (Philadelphia, PA.: Temple University Press, 2002), Uncompleted Independence: The Creation and Revision of Racial Thinking in the United States, edited with Paul R. Spickard (Notre Dame, IN.: University of Notre Dame Press, 2002), and Race and Multiraciality in Brazil and the United States: Converging Paths? (University Park, PA.: Pennsylvania State University Press, 2006) are a culmination of much of my thinking on the relationship between social structure and racial identity formation—especially multiracial identities. I have served on numerous departmental committees including the Graduate Program and Admissions Committee, the Undergraduate Program Committee, the REN (Race, Ethnicity, and Nation)/Ethnography as well as Chicana/o Sociology Search Committees, along with various UCSB campus committees including the Academic Senate Committee for Diversity and Equity, the Advisory Committee for the Center for Black Studies, and the Advisory Board for the Multicultural Center. In addition, I have received a great deal of media attention and participated as a panelist at various conferences as an expert on the topic of multiracial identity. Also, I am a member of the Advisory Board of AMEA (Association of MultiEthnic Americans) and the Advisory Council of the Mixed Heritage Center of MAVIN Foundation, and a former Advisory Board member of Project RACE (Reclassify All Children Equally). These have been the most prominent organizations involved in bring about changes in the collection of official racial and ethnic data, as in the decennial census, which makes it possible for multiracial-identified individuals to acknowledge their various backgrounds.
I have taught numerous graduate and undergraduate courses exploring comparative race and ethnic relations. Since spring 1989 I have taught "Betwixt and Between," which is one of the first and longest-standing courses in the United States to deal specifically with the question of multiracial identity comparing the United States with various parts of the world. My courses always emphasize historical reflection with the goal of providing students with an opportunity to utilize their research, interpretive, and writing skills through a comprehensive examination and critical analysis of course material, including class discussion and course readings. My goal is to tap into the particularly critical resource the classroom holds as a safe environment within which to examine the evolution of social structures that underpin racial inequality as well as envision creative ways of bringing about a more equitable society.

Glad to hear so many people are finally looking at ZFS, and it's cool to hear all the good praise I've heard from various users.

I was a beta tester for Sun Microsystems for Solaris 9 and 10, and ZFS was one of the major features they concentrated on during the beta phase - I wish I had been able to understand the concepts behind it and how to operate the zfs commands, otherwise I would have started using ZFS 10 years ago!

Glad to hear you got it working, let us know your feedback on it!

Cheers...

Figured it out in FreeNAS...

1. You have to manually stop and restart the AFP after changing AFP settings.

2. You have to add '@' to groups in the Allow list.

Now have ~ 5TB of RAIDZ for TImeMachine.

The iomega SAN does Time Machine perfectly. So it's possible.

I didn't think Time Machine supported non OS X hosted afp shares. I think I tried something similar once after setting up FSM on a Windows server. The Macs could use the afp shares for storage but not for Time Machine. I think the only remote hosting you can do for Time Machine is through an Air Port Extreme, but I could be wrong.

I was using an iomega SAN device which worked perfectly for Time Machine which worked great until I added a second drive. The SAN kept thinking there was a problem with my second drive in RAID1. And since the iomega needs to erase both drives to get RAID1 back, it's not a great situation. So I've been trying to get my FreeNAS 8.3.1 server to work with Time Machine on my Macs. The web UI makes it seem like it's point-and-click. But the unRTFM method doesn't seem to work. So I followed a few different howtos on the web with little more luck. I can make Samba/CIFS shares that show up in Finder. But nothing shows up in Time Machine.

I don't really have any data on FreeNAS yet. I've migrated everything to an external 4TB drive while I get this squared away. And I wouldn't mind being able to run other stuff on my NAS box. It's a Core i5-2500K with 32GB of RAM - way overkill for just FreeNAS and FreeNAS isn't delivering on ease-of-use.

Dipping a toe in the waters, I decided to try setting up netatalk and avahi on my Ubuntu 12.10 workstation. I followed this guide online:

http://d43.me/blog/1660/concisest-guide-to-setting-up-time-machine-server-on-ubuntu-server-12-04/

I created a /opt/tardis directory that I chmod'd 777 since I wasn't given clear instructions on how to set permissions. The share shows up in Time Machine but when I try to connect, I get an error on the Mac and then the afp daemon crashes on Ubuntu.

Anyone else have any luck with this?

P.S. Yes, I made a post to CHUGALUG that involves three different flavors of Unix! How's that for on-topic.

Today was the first day that Clover was at school, without us as part of the transition. We hung out a couple of days last week, and by all accounts, e was going to adjust fine.
We get a daily report of what happened during the day, so that makes great daily-ish updates!
Today, Clover played with water colors, and pushed around a squirrel bike on the playground. I got there during nap, because we weren't sure e was gonna go for it, but Clover ended up resting just fine. I gave it a 50/50 chance. I think they have a brisk pace, and the other children help tire em out.
What surprised me was how chillaxed e was for the rest of the day. Now, if I can just stop checking every couple of minutes for where Clover is while I am at home by myself…

You write in verse, which is a rare thing to see these days. What do you like about verse that distinguishes it from prose?
It just fits best with my brain patterns. I obsessively count letters and syllables, and so rhythmic writing satisfies me. To me prose is work, poetry is joy, so it's not a hard choice.
You started out as a poet, then switched to playwriting. What led you to each in the first place?
I became a poet because I loved making word puzzles. I became a playwright because I got lonely.
Do you still write poetry?
Yes, but only as songs that I sing. I seem incapable of leaving words on paper.
Let's talk about your play that's being published, Want's Unwish't Work. It's inspired by Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. What is it about Shakespeare—and that play, in particular—that inspired you?
I think Love's Labour's Lost is one of the most complex, playful dramatic poems ever written, rivaled only perhaps by a few other Shakespeare plays. How could I not be inspired by Shakespeare? He's the greatest writer ever, we all recognize that, and so I set out to beat him at his own game.
I read in a previous interview of yours that you're mostly influenced by classical verse playwrights, and not at all by contemporary writers. Is that still true?
No. I only read contemporary writers now, though of course that might change some day. I finally see that Bill Knott is the greatest poet ever.
In addition to writing plays, you also run your own theatre company, Inverse Theater. What led you to start Inverse?
I was not about to live that life of mailing my plays to 1,000 people, hearing back from one of them, then they hold a reading of my play in a workshop environment, and after the reading they tell me how to change my play so it's somewhat like what they might write could they write which they can't. I wanted to be produced, constantly, and to be surrounded collaboratively with other theater artists.
You've been credited with coining the phrase "Indie Theater" as a permanent replacement for the term "Off-Off-Broadway." Would you tell us a little more about what "Indie Theater" means to you, and how you came up with it?
I came up with it when Inverse was given a NYITA for greatness in Off-Off-Broadway, and I thought at the ceremony "What am I going to say?" and so I said what was on my mind, which was that I am not Off-Off that ridiculous street where bad theater ruins the world night after stupid night. But then I thought, so what is the kind of theater I do? And I thought, well, I don't think it can be categorized truly, so maybe it's just a marketing question, and so I thought Indie film and Indie music are so sexy and everyone wants to be that etc...so why not name it Indie Theater and then maybe we'll be sexy too?
As far as what I think Indie is, I will refer you to a monologue from my most recent play, No More Pretending, which will be appearing in early November and which is sort of about the quest of being an Indie artist and the difficulties therein:
I'm talkin bout an indie reformation!
Gonna set my own standards, disregard
Dispense, gonna compose my audience,
Develop along my own lines, gonna
Misdirect the signs, disinvite the times,
Refine what I need, underfeed the god greed
So I can risk my assessments, squander
My investments, gonna stand for no frisk,
Won't pander to nuthin, not even myself
On a compact disc all slanderin and cussin.
Gonna strut the gamut, prove the or-else
A bluffin but, gonna fight for the right
To be useless, define to dispossess,
Gonna say 'But I digress' with the pride
Of the powerless, gonna crave my errors,
My snide ambassadors to metaphors
Unthought of, emulating prior to
Judgment, gonna flop, falter, feign my whatfor
Beyond this grudgement of ingratiating,
Gonna hang with the wrong crowd that they might
Be neither, call me theater, but I love
To close, gonna sing my sinking song loud
Til I get away with the everyday.
Gonna descend to the occasion of
My rejection, cuz that's the direction
Whence I transcend the trend and end this trance,
Gonna practice passive use, induce diffuse,
Make money jealous, defuse the famous,
As I run into problems like a hippo
Into potamus. Gonna show my know
To miscompute, miscompete, misconstrue,
Ain't you? No one should work for someone else,
The planet's way too precious for your wealth,
Yo, gettin paid be givin pollution,
I want the tribe, not the distribution.
Gonna pay my trib to the dis if the sys

Gonna deal in significance that we
Might lose the need to be secure. Embrace

Fuck the industry; Mobad goin indie.
You're a pretty prolific writer. How do you do it? And what's up next for you?
It is sheer brute force. I have a wife and two kids, so to pull myself away from them, and from work, to write every day for 3 - 4 hours, which I do without fail, is just an act of unbridled power. I have the will to do it, so I do it. Plus, if I don't write for a couple days, my brain goes stale and it takes me 4 - 5 days to produce a single line that I'm happy with. Writing for me is a chemical reaction in my body, and if I don't keep those chemicals constantly activated, I go dry inside and I then have to work twice as hard to get them going.
Next for me is No More Pretending in November, a re-mount of Inverse's first play, The Death of Griffin Hunter, in January 2007, and currently I'm writing a play called Me which is about me.

A story profiling Charleston Mayor Joe Riley will air on the Al Jazeera America network tonight beginning at 9 p.m.
Correspondent Joie Chen profiles Riley under the angle that he "has transformed a seedy southern city with a rich but faded history to an international destination, a gem that is at once historic and restored."
The network interviewed Riley several months ago as part of its series on accomplished U.S. mayors.
Al Jazeera began as a news source for the Arab world but has since branched out in its reach.
The piece will also post online at Aljazeeraamerica.com.

Turquoise? No. Blue? No. Teal and cerulean are both present in Josep Abril's Spring/Summer 2009 collection along with various shades of creme.
"This... 'stuff'? Oh... ok. I see, you think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise, it's not lapis, it's actually cerulean."

I was sick as a dog on yesterday. Food poisoning. I spent Saturday night in a deep fetal position, missed a friend's birthday party, and felt horrible for hours. It never is pretty having food poisoning and I absolutely hate being sick. I don't know if my body was telling me to slow down, but I am thankful le husband rushed home to take care of me. I knew the minute I started feeling better last night because all I wanted to do was take a long bath and give myself an at-home facial.
Although I was sick I planned a few blog articles, made a Sephora purchase (extra beauty points), and scheduled some yoga sessions. I flipped through the first September magazine that arrived on Saturday. How is is this possible? I have a never ending quest to always have the ever present bronzy highlighter on my cheekbones. Chantecaille's Cheek Illuminators recently came into my beauty arsenal and I can't get enough of them. Yep, I'm a hippie. Beachy, bronze, and salt water all day long.
I use them separately and together. They are perfect for giving you that summa summa summertime glow, but I can't wait to add them to my travel collection and use them in the fall. Did I really just type "fall." Say it isn't so? Fall can't be this close. I'm not ready. I'm still reveling in my cheekbones and all that Chantecaille is bringing to the shimmy shimmy party.
P.S. A few weeks ago I talked about my meditation tools and what helped me get started. I started with the Oprah and Deepak Chopra 21-day Meditation Challenge. Guess what? They are doing another one on Expanding Your Happiness and it started today. We all can use a few moments of quiet in our day. Try it. I guarantee you will love it.

Andis Introduces The Groom Clipper For Horse And Cattle
Horse Clippers
The new Andis Groom Clipper is durable, cool, quiet and ideal for horse and cattle show groomers. So quiet that it doesn't disturb even the most sensitive animals, the Groom Clipper delivers quick cuts, with a blade speed of 14,400 strokes per minute. Protected by an unbreakable powder coated aluminum housing, the clipper provides years of dependable service.
"One of the Andis Endurance Clippers, the Groom Clipper offers the perfect combination of power and performance," states Fred Koeller, Vice President of Marketing at Andis. "It is an excellent choice for horse and cattle shows – perfect for both last minute shaping and extensive clipping."
The clipper is designed to handle everything from clipping the chest and barrelarea to touch-up work around the legs and ears. The blades can be easily adjusted from 30-15-10 cutting depths, using a single lever on the side. To keep the blade in prime condition, clipper oil is included. A convenient thumb-controlled on/off switch is located on the side of the clipper.
Seven additional attachments can be added for styling flexibility. The clipper has a heavy-duty cord with a grounded plug and it comes with a one-year limited warranty.
The powder coating finish on the Groom Clipper's aluminum housing is applied through a process that is ecologically friendly. In contrast, a by-product of traditional solvent based wet paint systems is a solvent that is considered hazardous waste and requires special handling for disposal. Using the dry finishing process for the powder coating produces an attractive, durable, high quality finish without by-products that are potentially harmful to the environment.
Andis Company, founded in 1922, is a leading manufacturer of handheld tools to trim, cut, curl, straighten and dry hair. The company's products are purchased worldwide by barber and beauty shops, consumers, hotels, motels, resorts, small and large animal groomers, and shearers. To find a local distributor, call the company at 800-558-9441 or visit their Web site at www.andis.com.

Not long ago, Anne Frey, a Philadelphia stage actress-turned-real-estate agent, was sitting on her steps on 20th Street off Rittenhouse Square when she noticed something interesting. "There were so many people milling about, so many of them young, and I began to think: What happened to people my age?"
Frey, 59, wondered where her giddy, lively friends - anyone, really - could get comfortable and converse. "Where it is we can go and hear each other talk and laugh? Where was it that had a certain level of sophistication?"
It's what drove Frey to open a bar, called 1 Tippling Place, at 2006 Chestnut Street, a place that will cater primarily (not exclusively; it's not a membership club) to people her own age. The cozy, low-lit, parlorlike saloon with chic antiques will focus on boomers - those older than 50 who are still hanging out, thriving, and spending money with regularity in a world where girls go wild and boys run rampant to a Jersey Shore beat.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Faubourg St. John in the Esplanade Ridge Historic District. Named for Bayou St. John, the neighborhood flanks Esplanade Avenue roughly from Bayou St. John on the north to North Broad Street on the south, and from the Fair Grounds on the east to Orleans Avenue on the west. As the city grew outward from the Vieux Carre, development expanded along the high strip of ground -- now Esplanade Avenue -- which was once an American Indian portage connecting the bayou to the Mississippi River. According to the National Register listing for Esplanade Ridge, growth occurred in stages as Esplanade Avenue was expanded into what had been outlying plantation lands. Faubourg Treme, closest to the Quarter, represents the earliest phase, and Faubourg St. John, the latest. Although Faubourg St. John began developing in the mid-19th century, most of its historic structures date from 1880 to 1930, according to the register. Notable exceptions include the nearly 210-year-old Pitot House on Bayou St. John. And although shotgun houses in varying configurations and styles -- such as Italianate or Eastlake -- are present in the neighborhood, it is distinguished by a number of homes built in popular early 20th-century styles.
THE BLOCK: The even-numbered side of the 3000 block of DeSoto Street, between North Gayoso and North Lopez streets. It is just a couple of blocks from Bayou St. John and even fewer from Esplanade Avenue. Nearby are markets, coffeehouses, restaurants and, of course, in the spring, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.
THE HOUSES: Five houses set back from the sidewalk on generous lots, each very different from its neighbor. The houses at each end of the block have a distinctly Arts and Crafts character. A double shotgun reflects the Neo-Classical Revival style. A fourth house has a front gable with Tudor Revival embellishments and Stick-style brackets between the columns, and yet another has a subdued Eastlake feel. Every one of them has a holiday decoration.
Today is a big day in and along Faubourg St. John. Esplanade Fest, a street party with food, music and dancing, takes place this afternoon. Then a little later, the Canoe and Trail Shop will outfit carolers with canoes for a floating holiday spectacle. I am seeking a cheery block near the action and dressed for the season, and I find the perfect one on DeSoto Street.
If you get to Esplanade Fest a little early, you can walk in my footsteps.
Anatomy of the block
I am taken by the raised bungalow at the corner of DeSoto and North Gayoso. It's a cloudy, rainy day, and so the home's rich greenish-blue facade and terra-cotta window sash stand out all the more against the gray sky. I notice the mitered corners of the weatherboards and the stucco tops of the columns. Thick garlands of greens draped along the railing, punctuated by fat wreaths with bright red bows, make the place even more inviting. The holiday decor complements the architecture perfectly.
Next door is a rose-colored house with the Tudor Revival gable -- stucco with boards imitating half-timbering. It has a steeply pitched roof and a wrap-around porch ringed with Tuscan-style wood columns. The brackets are simple wood pieces and call to mind terms such as "Stick Style" and "Carpenter Gothic." Hanging on the beveled and leaded glass front door is an exuberant wreath woven with lime green and fuchsia ribbons and accented with shiny ornaments.
The picturesque cottage next door displays a vivid red poinsettia atop a white wicker table on the front porch -- an understated nod to the holiday. The house has a centerhall plan, but with a semi-octagonal bay that extends forward on the left side. Turned columns, frilly gingerbread and milled brackets on the bay all suggest the Eastlake style. The gable over the bay features a highly unusual shingle pattern that I am seeing for the first time.
Next I stand in front of a Neo-Classical Revival double with a tawny-colored -- and very protective -- dog. It is watching me closely as I take in the stained glass in the diamond-patterned windows, the roof dormer on the right and the fancy capitals on the porch columns. I notice that the right side and its entry are slightly recessed from the left, affording an extra measure of privacy for the resident, who seems to be observing the holiday with a blooming amaryllis on the porch and a red-bowed wreath on the door.
The last house is a low-slung, blue-shingled, Arts and Crafts bungalow. Never did pots of poinsettias look more festive than those flanking the front door. Against the blue, the red just pops. Everywhere I look I see an original detail -- like the multi-paned top sash on the windows and the high-style Craftsman portico over the front entry. The pea-green color of the window sash against the blue of the body helps accentuate the home's details.
I notice that one portion of the house sits back from the main area, and that its bank of windows is set higher in the wall than elsewhere. Could that be to accommodate kitchen cabinets on the other side?
Life on the street
When I arrive, the radio in my car warns me that a tornado warning is in effect, so I am not surprised that no one is on the street. A few passengers in cars look quizzically at me as I stand in the street in the rain, but, really, I like it.
I have the 3000 block of DeSoto Street all to myself.

The incidence of malignancy in gastric ulcers near the pylorus, long assumed to be disproportionately higher than that of ulcers situated elsewhere in the stomach, has become in recent years an open question. In 1925 Orator1 found in a survey of material at von Eiselsberg's clinic that 30 per cent of prepyloric ulcers were carcinomatous whereas only 2 per cent of ulcers on the lesser curvature in the median portion of the stomach were carcinomatous, and malignancy of duodenal ulcer almost never was observed. In 1929 Haudek2 gave his influential endorsement to Orator's conclusions. Later one of us (B. R. K.),3 who often had heard Carman comment on the frequent occurence of malignancy in prepyloric ulcers, expressed the opinion that ulcers near the pylorus are more likely to be carcinomatous than those on or near the lesser curvature well removed from the pylorus.

PEOPLE KEEP SAYING this is an historic election, the most important in half a century. And it is.
In concrete terms, the United States is faced with a range of crises - economic, military, diplomatic - that are increasingly complex, that defy ideology and demand an uncommon, united effort. Failure to address them in the past has put the well-being of our children and our planet in doubt. Failure to address them now will, we fear, seal their doom.
But history also includes things that are less prosaic, more poetic: We could be on the verge of picking a president who symbolizes what our country stands for. Opportunity. Equality. Leadership. And big ideas. In the process, we as a country may be becoming the change we want to see.

Last year, I took the great leap forward to a totally electronic medical record. My project manager at the software company guided me through thickets of timetable confirmations, equipment inventories, data migration assessments, benchmark checklists, and conference calls. She also sent me regular e-mails that included an invitation to the national users' conference in Las Vegas. I didn't make it to Vegas, but I did survive my first year.

I have noted an unexpected side effect of the office EMR. Recently several of my patients (and their families) have complained that their physician spent the office visit interacting with the computer screen rather than interacting with them. "He spent all his time reading questions from the computer." "She barely looked at us at all." "I didn't think that he was giving me his full attention since I never saw his eyes." This seems to be a particular issue with computers that are mounted on the wall.
Some physicians may readily multitask between computer screen and patient. But as a parent who has attempted conversation with children who SWEAR that listening to me while they are texting on their cellphones, I appreciate my patients' concern that their doctors are not fully engaged with them and their complaints because their eyes remain focused on documenting the encounter.
Building relationships between people requires time and attention. Relationships between doctors and patients are no different.
None declared
Your article echoes much of what I've heard from my colleagues. When a highly educated and technically sophisticated group such as physicians needs money to convince them to buy a computer system, something just doesn't smell right. The brutally honest among us say, "they won't save you time but you can bill a 99214, get away with it, and make a little extra money".This whole EMR concept has torn the fabric a medicine asunder. There is nothing more beautiful than three or four sentences describing a medical history. How are we letting 3rd parties shred our language and prose for no demonstrably and scientifically proven benefit? But who cares when there is 44,000 at the other end. Ronald Arakelian MD
Dr. Lewis's thoughts on the EMR as an imperfect representation of the whole patient are engaging and necessary. One point deserves particular comment. He suggests that "a capacity to switch threads, akin to watching a movie from one character's perspective and then switching to the point of view of another character, would be enormously useful." He then proposes that different threads might identify, for example, diabetes or vasculopathy as independent strands in a single patient's chart.
But if we're talking about "the point of view of another character," there's someone in the room with the doctor whose perspective goes almost wholly unmentioned even in the newest EMRs: the patient. If this record could include the patient's thoughts on his or her own symptoms, disease course, treatment, compliance, and relationship with the physician, I think - rather than expecting the patient to "speak template" - we might get the template to speak patient, to everyone's benefit.
I read with great interest the excellent article in the On Being a Doctor Section of Annals of Internal Medicine on the description of "Brave New EMR," written by Stuart Lewis, M.D. It describes vividly the obstacles of a solo practitioner facing the brave cruel world of implementing electronic records in his office. How did he find the time to become a full time computer specialist, requiring additional training including one -on-one training, while still looking after his patients full time? While continuing to study medicine daily in order to be up to date for his patients?
How did he pay for the system, being an internist with one of the lowest reimbursements among all those other specialties? We are a group of five internists and converting our present computer system to have it interface with EMR and the hospital computers and various labs and xray facilities will cost us about $600,000-$700,000. This amount of money we just don't have and there is some talk that our practice may cease to exist, increasing the shortage of primary care physicians. Dr. Lewis also describes that the new system is more time consuming and the notes being generated by the system read like fast food. The moments he shares with his patients are often too short since new silent messages pop up on the computer screen, turning his head to the desktop monitor.
In conclusion, Dr. Lewis states very clearly that our primary task in internal medicine is: "To try to accurately and comprehensively understand my patients, not merely document them." One easy solution to some of the problem might be to have computer printouts in our records, including our hospital records. This would enable the physician again to have all the important information at his or her fingertips and in front of him/her while talking and examining his/her patient. No need to turn your head to the desktop monitor or walk down the hallway to the next computer station.
I wrote to Senator Stabenow about that easy solution, to have computer printouts in our medical records, and she replied that she is willing to legislate computer printouts for the medical records, should the topic come up with her senator-colleagues.This way doctors again would be able to spend more time at the bedside talking and examining patients instead of wasting time logging in to many different computer screens.

The fraud trial of former Quebec lieutenant-governor Lise Thibault will resume Oct. 2.
The date was set in Quebec City this morning.
Thibault's trial was interrupted at the beginning of August after she suffered an epileptic seizure.
The 75-year-old is on trial after being charged with fraud and breach of trust in connection with more than $700,000 in alleged improper expenses.
Thibault held the provincial vice-regal post between 1997 and 2007.
Trial judge Carol St-Cyr rejected a defence motion in late July that argued the case should be dismissed because Thibault benefited from royal immunity.

- Incident was outside Luxor, close to the famous Valley of the Kings
- Witnesses heard an explosion, saw smoke and then it fell from the sky
- Casualties: British, French, Japanese and Chinese nationals
- Reports: Two Brits seen jumping before basket hit the ground
- Witness: 'People were jumping from the height of a seven-storey building'
- The catastrophe may be the deadliest hot air balloon accident in history
The British death toll in the Egypt hot air balloon accident has risen to three after one of the survivors died in hospital this afternoon.
In total nineteen tourists have now died as a result of the hot air balloon exploding at 1,000ft (300 metres) and coming down in a ball of flames in a sugar cane field, close to the famous Valley of the Kings.
Two British survivors were taken to hospital, but shortly after 1pm tour operator Thomas Cook said that one of them had since died – the other remains in a critical condition alongside the craft's Egyptian pilot.
Eyewitness Cherry Tohamy was in another balloon nearby and told the BBC: 'People were jumping out of the balloon from about the height of a seven-storey building.'

The Sonoma County Sheriff's office is investigating what it calls a suspicious death after finding a body wrapped in a blanket in the trunk of a car parked along Petaluma Hill Road next to Sonoma State University on Monday, Jan. 14.
Lt. Dennis O'Leary, who is heading the investigation for the Sheriff's Office, said the victim was identified as a 31-year-old Sonoma County resident but has not released the name. The body, O'Leary said, was probably dropped off near SSU sometime on Saturday evening. A cause of death has yet to be determined, but authorities said it was a suspicious death because of the location and condition of the body.
A deputy, at around 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 14, made a routine stop to check on the car because it was parked in a no-parking zone on Petaluma Hill Road just north of East Cotate Ave. A DMV check of the car's license plate showed the vehicle was associated with a subject wanted for questioning in a crime that occurred on Jan. 11 in the Santa Rosa area. Upon further investigation, deputies saw evidence inside the vehicle they believed could be associated with the Jan. 11 incident. Deputies noticed blood in the front seat of the car and outside the car.
As deputies continued their investigation of the vehicle, they found the trunk to be unlocked and discovered the body upon opening the trunk. When asked if this incident could be gang-related, O'Leary said "we haven't ruled out anything."
Deputies closed Petaluma Hill Road between East Cotati Avenue and Rohnert Park Expressway until Tuesday, Jan. 15.
Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to call the Sheriff's Office at 565-2185.

"The Death and Rebirth of Class Analysis in Early American History"
Newberry Library, May 24, 2001, 3:30-5:30 pm
Americans love to deny that we have classes, much less class struggles that pit antagonistic classes against each other, and our historians have led the chorus of denial. We have inequality, racial and sexual oppresion, wealth and poverty -- but not class. Even as early American historians have recovered the histories of slaves, Indians, free women, and farmers, they have ignored or denied the class demensions of colonial and Revolutionary life. Recently, a small group of early Americanists have recovered class analysis. This essay, part of a larger attempt to redefine colonial history, defines class (in Marxist theory), explains the reasons for the death of class analysis, and analyzes its rebirth.

Geraniums & pelargoniums are split into two groups: pelargoniums are half-hardy, whereas other types of geranium are hardy. This exciting range includes upright, trailing, climbing, ivy-leaf, 'balcon', rosebud, dwarf varieties and more. Look out for the eye-catching tulip-flowered pelargoniums.

Geranium 'Black Velvet Mix' F1
Pelargonium, Zonal Geranium, Zonal Pelargonium
Dark, enigmatic foliage makes a startling foil for the beguiling bright blooms of Geranium 'Black Velvet Mix' in four striking colours. The unique black leaves, produced on upright bushy plants, are edged with just a hint of green. This boldly coloured zonal geranium makes a striking addition to pots, beds and borders for long lasting summer colour. Height: 40cm (14"). Spread: 30cm (12").
Although technically perennial, Pelargoniums are only half hardy and therefore normally treated as annuals in the UK. However, with care, they may be overwintered in a frost free greenhouse. More info

It's not easy being an Ohioan at this time of year. With spring barely on the horizon and arctic winds making bone-chilling temperatures a daily grind, it's a good time to take a quick trip to a sunnier clime, or to plan a much-needed summer vacation.
Here are three sure cures guaranteed to make spirits bright.
The Carolinas are calling with sandy beaches, balmy breezes and blue skies. There's something for everyone here - whether you're in search of R and R or a little buried treasure.
In North Carolina, visitors flock to The Outer Banks, a string of narrow islands and peninsulas lying along 125 miles of the coast. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore is the most extensive stretch of undeveloped seashore on the Atlantic Coast. Wild beauty abounds, as bottlenose dolphins frolic near the beach and flocks of geese greet visitors exploring the sand dunes. Presiding over all is the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, which, at 208 feet high, is the tallest lighthouse on the American coast. The 258-step climb is well worth the view. Scuba divers are drawn to "The Graveyard of the Atlantic," off the North Carolina coast, where the remains of more than 2,000 ships have settled to the ocean floor over the centuries. Accessible only by boat, The Cape Lookout National Seashore offers a host of recreational activities, ranging from shell collecting to surf fishing and boating. The oceanfront resort town of Nags Head is known for its family-friendly shallow water, and the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island invites visitors to get acquainted with its resident sharks, eels, sea turtles and alligators.
South Carolina's hospitality is second to none, and that's especially evident in two of the state's premier resort towns.
Families began vacationing in Myrtle Beach more than a century ago, making their way by horse and buggy, and then ferrying over the Waccamaw River to reach the coast. Today, along with thoroughly modern transportation, the town boasts a broad range of entertainment, nightlife and outdoor recreation. A haven for water-sports enthusiasts, Myrtle Beach was named one of "America's Best Beaches" last year by the Travel Channel. And no wonder. Surrounded by 60 miles of beach, it's the ideal spot to surf, kayak, scuba dive and parasail. Fish tales come true at the Grand Strand Fishing Rodeo, taking place between April and October. Grab your pail and shovel, and head for the Myrtle Beach Sun Fun Festival June 1–5, where sand-castle sculptors ply their craft. The second-annual Beach, Boogie and BBQ Festival, held August 31 and September 1, features lip-smacking fare served amid outdoor entertainment.
Pristine beaches and seemingly endless recreational pursuits have made Hilton Head Island a favorite family vacation destination. There are plenty of opportunities to chart your own course, whether from a sporty Sunfish or a sleek 70-foot luxury craft available for rent at one of nine public marinas. Kayaks and canoes are also waiting for visitors wishing to explore area creeks, marshes or inlets along Calibogue Sound. Twelve miles of sandy beaches invite cyclists to leave the car behind, put the pedal to the metal and ride atop the waves on an aqua trike. Or just take it easy at one of the upscale resorts that dot the area.
President Theodore Roosevelt was filled with awe when he beheld the Grand Canyon 104 years ago, proclaiming that it was "beyond comparison, beyond description, absolutely unparalleled throughout the wide world." Today, the famous landmark continues to cast its spell on the more than 4 million visitors who make the pilgrimage to see it each year. Spanning 277 miles in length and averaging 10 miles in width, the majestic gorge offers a panorama of picture-postcard-worthy views courtesy of light- and shadow-play on earth-toned rock formations interspersed with desert cacti and sagebrush. The park offers a variety of activities year-round, including campfire talks; ranger-led hikes; children's programs; and nature, history and geology walks. Recreational opportunities for sports enthusiasts feature such pursuits as white-water rafting trips on the Colorado River and muleback journeys through the canyon. Start at the National Geographic Visitor Center and IMAX Theater, which chronicles the history and captures the beauty of the geologic formation on screen.
Discover the beauty, color and diversity of arid plant life at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. The paved Desert Discovery Trail leads visitors through 50 acres of outdoor exhibits showcasing cacti, aloe and wildflowers. The intricate beauty and many facets of the desert are brought together at the 300-acre Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park in Superior. The state's oldest and largest botanical garden features breathtaking views of sheer mountain cliffs, a streamside forest and hidden canyons, along with an interpretive center and greenhouses filled with specimens from around the world.
Sunshine, mountains and lush desert vegetation make Tucson a favorite winter getaway. Bask in the natural setting of the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, showcasing the relationship between plants, animals, minerals and fossils native to the region. More than 300 animal species make their home here, including mountain lions, prairie dogs and bighorn sheep. Almost two miles of paths lead visitors through terrain containing more than 1,400 kinds of plants. The museum's vertebrate paleontology collection contains the first and only significant dinosaur skeleton from southern Arizona.
No trip is complete without a visit to Saguaro National Park, home to the subtropical cacti that serve as the symbol of the desert Southwest. Known for their sometimes humanlike shapes, the cacti can live more than 200 years and attain heights of 30 or 40 feet. In addition to protecting the saguaro and other desert vegetation, the park's Saguaro West District has rock formations decorated with Native American petroglyphs and designs.
OK, you're tired of winter. You're tired of the cold, the snow and checking the forecast before you go to bed every night to see if you'll have to get up an hour or two earlier than usual just so you can get to work on time.
Whether you live in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo or parts in between, it's a feeling we all share.
Well, there is one solution. Grab your suitcase, pack your shorts and head to Florida. (Don't forget the shades and the sunscreen.) Not only will you see that bright orange orb in the sky (rumor has it it's called the sun), you'll also get a chance to see Ohio's boys of summer - the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds - prepare for the 2007 baseball season. Many Ohioans have already made the trip down a yearly ritual. And once you do it the first time, you'll wonder why it took you so long.
The Indians' spring home is Chain of Lakes Park in Winter Haven, while the Reds train at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. Spring-training ballparks are more intimate than major-league stadiums, which allows fans to get much closer to the action and get a better look at players, including such stars as Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner of the Indians and Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn of the Reds. Fans can watch the pitchers work their arms into shape and also see the top prospects from the hometown team. The teams square off in Sarasota on March 9 and in Winter Haven on March 10.
The spring training atmosphere is a relaxed one. You'll often see players jogging along the outfield track after being removed from the game, and they're usually available to sign autographs as they head for the showers. There's also a good chance you'll run into a player or two when you're out having dinner.
Fans traveling to Winter Haven, located in the central part of the state, can fly into Orlando or Tampa - both are about an hour's drive away. Those headed to Sarasota, along the southwest gulf coast, can fly into the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport. Both the Winter Haven and Sarasota areas offer plenty of lodging close to the ballpark.
Activities aren't a problem. You can spend the morning poolside or at the beach, take in a ballgame in the afternoon and enjoy a round of golf before dark. For information about the Winter Haven area, visit www.sunsational.org or call 800/828-7655. Information about the Sarasota area can be found by visiting www.sarasotafl.org or calling 800/522-9799.

Vegas Odds to Win the Super Six ConferencesPosted by rtmsf on October 28th, 2010
Last week we took a look at the Vegas odds for the 60 or so teams that sportsbooks offer futures wagers on to win the 2011 national championship. In a complete surprise to nobody, Duke was at the very top of the list, but there were several mild eyebrow-raisers in the slots after the Blue Devils — Kentucky at #2, Memphis at #5, UNC at #7. This week we thought it might be interesting to take a look at another futures bet that is offered: the odds for each team to win its conference regular season title. Again, these odds aren't necessarily an indication of what Vegas "thinks" will happen; it's more a combination of market forces and line shading toward the more popular teams. But these gambling establishments are not in the business of losing money, so there are some nuggets of information that we can draw from their established odds (e.g., if you think anyone but Duke will win the ACC this season, you're a steaming hunk of moron). Let's break it down. Each conference will have a few thoughts after its table.
Ed. note: keep in mind that Vegas doesn't set its odds to add up to 100%; if they did that, they'd never be able to sucker people and make any money on long-term futures bets. So these percentages do not represent the "true" chances of winning the conference; rather, they represent what Vegas is willing to risk on those teams.
Quick ACC Thoughts.
Are there any surprises here? Not really. Duke is a prohibitive favorite for a reason — even if they have injuries, there's not a lot of depth to this league right now. UNC, an NIT team last year who lost its top three scorers, getting love as a strong second tells you a lot about the uncertainty of this conference beyond the Blue Devils.
Vegas doesn't like Virginia Tech nearly as much as the pundits — that clearly has something to do with its recent history as an underachiever.
Look at Maryland pretty far down the list — that's not a typical position for the Terps to be in under Gary Williams. Given their "brand name" value-add, Vegas must really not be fond of Jordan Williams and company this coming season.
Quick Big 12 Thoughts.
This is a crazy grouping at the top, with four schools basically acting as co-favorites — Baylor, Kansas State, Kansas and Texas. Again we see another school (the Longhorns) living off its recruiting prowess and not its actual performance with such a high placement.
In our opinion, Missouri is a darkhorse candidate to not only win the Big 12 this season but also go to the Final Four. Yet there the Tigers sit at +800 and 11.1%. We're not sure there's a better value in this entire post if you're so inclined.
There may not be a better duo in the Big 12 than Alec Burks and Cory Higgins at Colorado, but the Buffs aren't getting any love from Vegas. The CU situation is an interesting comparison with Georgia in the SEC — both teams bring back two all-conference caliber players from a mediocre squad last year. Yet, while the experts seem to like the 'Dawgs this year, Colorado hasn't gotten the same traction. Is it a Big 12 vs. SEC thing; is it the coaching (Mark Fox vs. Tad Boyle)?

Dr. Koval has been my Dr. For many years now. She diagnosed my thyroid cancer two times and has helped me through a lot. Couldnt imagine ever changing doctors.
Dr. Koval is a cool lady! She's both personable and efficient and it is clear she knows her stuff. If you've been referred to Dr. Koval, consider yourself lucky!
Excellent, caring, Doctor.
I have seen Dr. Koval twice and both times she took plenty of time with me and my husband. She explains things clearly and seems to be very knowledgeable. I do not have a final treatment/diagnosis yet, but so far I really like her. She has called me personally with test results both times. She has excellent bedside manner and I trust her.
Dr. Koval is an excellent doctor, always on time, very knowledgable and helpful.
I believe that Dr. Koval is one of the best physicians in the country. She is right on top of ordering labs and prescriptions and is very professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field of treatment of patients with thyroid conditions. The check in staff is very prompt and friendly. The nurses are attentive and, for the most part, come across as being interested in my history and doing taking note of my vital signs. However, the nurse doesn't always follow through with accuracy and promptness with information provided to my mail order pharmacy. Thank you
Can't really rate Dr. Koval... as her front desk staff is doing a superb job of blocking access to her care. Person who answered the phone was more interested in how she could keep me from making an appointment, instead of being welcoming and helpful. The Docs in this office ought to train staff in the art of "customer service"... basic politeness along with the "We want to help you" attitude. Not only is health care more expensive in AK it can also be hard to come by, even with great insurance.
She is amazing and really booked up as a result. They make a real effort to get you in quickly if need be,

A considerable amount of work has been undertaken on the Bream Head Scenic Reserve in recent years, both by the Bream Head Trust and the Department of Conservation. This work has centred on animal and plant pest control, native species monitoring and revegetation, and has resulted in some significant gains.
These include:
- goat eradication and the establishment of a goat farming exclusion zone on all properties south of Ocean Beach Road, between Urquhart Bay and Ocean Beach
- control of possums to low levels
- establishment of a network of trap and bait station lines for mustelids, rodents and feral cats
- upgrade of the boundary fence to exclude all livestock from the Reserve
- sustained control of key invasive weed species
- revegetation planting in excess of 26,000 predominantly seral plant species
- upgrade of recreational facilities
- appointment of a full-time ranger in 2010
- establishment of an invertebrate and lizard monitoring programme
- establishment of tracking tunnel monitoring lines
- release of 64 kiwi chicks into the Reserve.
A key initiative for the Trust has been implementing a ranger for the Reserve. The contract employment of Pete Mitchell has been a major step forward. The appointment of a ranger and the work of the Restoration Committee have enabled the Trust to put resources on the ground to achieve restoration results.
The second key initiative has been developing an education package for school children that assists schools and teachers in developing a school programme that focuses on the Bream Head Scenic Reserve. Refining NZ, the Northland Regional Council and the Trust's Education Committee have been instrumental in developing and implementing this Resource.
