Introducing the Catalyst 4912G Gigabit Aggregator
Dedicated 12-port 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet for Nonblocking High-Speed Switching
The Catalyst 4912G is a fixed configuration Layer 2 Ethernet switch with 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports. It was designed to easily handle the most demanding network bandwidth situations with intelligent EtherChannel® technology that scales to 8 Gbps. The Catalyst 4912G supports a high-performance architecture with nonblocking 24 Gbps total capacity; more than 18 million pps throughput; 16,000 MAC addresses; and 1024 Virtual LANs (VLANs).
Flexible, Full-Duplex Gigabit Uplinks
Each Catalyst 4912G comes standard with 12 gigabit uplink ports that can be configured with a variety of different interfaces depending upon the customer's network requirements. Utilizing advanced GBIC technology, customers can choose either shortwave (1000BaseSX) or longwave (1000BaseLX/LH) gigabit interfaces depending on network configuration requirements. And if, in the future, the customer's gigabit interface requirement changes, they can easily (and inexpensively) change their GBICs. (Note that GBICs are sold separately from the Catalyst 4912G.)
Industry-leading Intelligent Catalyst System Software
The Catalyst 4912G supports the full set of features found in enterprise Catalyst system software. Not only does this ensure interoperability with other Catalyst switches (such as the Catalyst 4000, 5000, and 6000 Families), but it provides the Catalyst 4912G with the most comprehensive set of Layer 2 features available in the industry. Major software feature categories supported by the Catalyst 4912G include:
- Advanced scalability (such as Gigabit EtherChannel, Dynamic VLANs, 802.1Q Trunking)
- Bandwidth management (QoS, protocol filtering, link load balancing)
- Network resiliency (UplinkFast, PortFast, spanning tree)
- Security (per-port security, authentication, IP permit lists)
- Advanced management (embedded RMON, SNMP, CiscoView, and CiscoWorks2000)
Small Form Factor Breakthrough
The Catalyst 4912G form factor continues the trend of power in a small package. The switch comes with a small footprint that is only 1.5 rack units high. The chassis is the exact same size as the popular Catalyst 2948G 10/100/1000 Mbps switch for rack or stack deployment.
Built-In Fault Tolerance
The Catalyst 4912G supports a variety of fault-tolerant features including an available external redundant power supply (sold separately and compatible with the popular Catalyst 2948G switches), support of multiple load sharing trunks (Gigabit EtherChannel), multiple spanning trees, and fast convergence software tools like PortFast and UplinkFast. This wide range of hardware and software fault-tolerant tools enable the Catalyst 4912G to provide the platform resiliency and fault tolerance required in today's mission-critical enterprise networks.
Comprehensive Network Management of CiscoWorks2000
Catalyst 4912G products are managed by the powerful CiscoWorks2000 network management products (option). These management products are focused on the day-to-day network operations functions such as:
- Checking on device availability and configuration changes
- Provisioning of VLANs across multiple devices concurrently
- The representation of Layer 2 networks both physically and logically.
The Essentials product suite leverages the power of the intranet with browser-based access anywhere within the network. Network managers can walk up to any browser console, simply identify who they are via the access control interface, and immediately begin checking on the up-time of each device and the active software versions that are running the Catalyst 4912G and print a Year 2000 compliant report. For drill-down, real-time device status information, the network operations staff can launch the Cisco award-winning CiscoView application from their fault management station and check on the health of the power supplies, line cards, and the operational status of each port at a glance.
For more sophisticated network-wide information network managers can launch the Cisco Works for Switched Internet work campus product bundle, which automatically discovers the physical and logical representations of the Catalyst switch networks. This object-based discovery system offers detailed information on the location and type of each switch within the network and the type of links that connect the switches together, and displays integrity reports on the configurations between each switch. All of this information is provided graphically within the topology interface with search and location utilities. This topology interface offers a convenient launching point for other applications within CWSI campus including the RMON-based traffic analysis application, the network-wide user location application, and the VLAN application that displays the logical configuration and spanning tree forwarding path information.
Intelligent, embedded agents in the Catalyst 4912G switch include support for Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)delivering network topology discovery and mapping, and Cisco VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP)supporting dynamic VLANs and dynamic trunk configurations across all switches. Embedded, intelligent RMON agents on every port deliver powerful traffic monitoring and controlRMON group support includes statistics, history, alarms, and events.
Enhanced Switched Port Analyzer (ESPAN) functionality enables the user to mirror traffic from any single port, multiple ports, or VLAN to another Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port for analysis by a remote sniffer or RMON SwitchProbe® product. Support for local, out-of-band management is delivered through a terminal or modem attached to the EIA/TIA-232 interface; remote in-band management is available via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Telnet client, BOOTP, and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
Performance and Scalability for Today's Network
The Catalyst 4912G is designed to meet all customer performance requirements and expectations, ranging from wire-speed performance on all ports simultaneously to the efficiency of load sharing trunks and flexible Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. With a 24-Gbps switch fabric capacity, the Catalyst 4912G is nonblocking so even when networks migrate to Gigabit Ethernet, the switch capacity will always be greater than the total bandwidth requirement of all ports. Links scale to 8 Gbps with intelligent Gigabit EtherChannel on every port.
Consistent Features and Interfaces
Building on the familiar features and interfaces of the award-winning Catalyst 5000 series switches, the Catalyst 4912G software shares the advantage of years of Catalyst 5000 series enterprise feature development by supporting a consistent software feature set. This is a tremendous advantage over competitive products with embryonic or immature Gigabit Ethernet feature sets. The Catalyst 4912G provides easy plug-and-play insertion in your network, with seamless feature linkages to other Catalyst switches in the infrastructure.
Low Cost of Entry, Easy to Deploy
For customers requiring up to 12 ports of 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet connectivity at an affordable price, the Catalyst 4912G offers an ideal configuration of Gigabit Ethernet for concentration in a single platform. The Catalyst 4912G meets the Layer 2 bandwidth needs of advanced networks and provides a very affordable 1000-Mbps switched Ethernet solution plus enterprise resiliency and management with future-proof growth protection.
Investment Protection for Future Growth
The Catalyst 4912G not only meets the customer's switching needs today, but is carefully architected to meet the customer's future bandwidth requirements. Many customer networks currently are bandwidth constrained from increasing browser-based application traffic over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet uplinks. The Catalyst 4912G provides the next-step solution through industry standards-based 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet intelligent switching. Similarly, as customers need to change their Gigabit Ethernet cabling interface connection, the Catalyst 4912G supports GBIC technology so customers can choose either shortwave (1000Base-SX) or longwave (1000Base-LX/LH) interfaces depending on network configuration requirements. And, in the future, if customers' Gigabit interface requirements change, they can easily (and inexpensively) change their GBICs.
Ongoing enhancements to the Catalyst system software delivers one of the most important investment protection features of the Catalyst 4912G. Catalyst software is already the most comprehensive multilayer service solution in the industry. As new Catalyst system software releases become available, the Catalyst 4912G customer will have immediate access to the latest enhancements in critical areas such as QoS, multicast, load balancing, and security.

It's not easy being Cristiano Ronaldo. On the one hand, there's the endless quest for full-length mirrors and the striving to perfect what is already pretty darned good; on the other, the endless carping of journalists, the crowd, opponents, even teammates. What's the point of being so good when no one else gets it?
He doesn't make it easy for himself with the endless controversies—the World Cup wink in 2006, the rant over chants in Euro 2012 and now, the cry from the heart. I'm sad, he said two weeks ago, that's why I don't celebrate my goals for Real Madrid. You could hear the titters and jeers; there goes Ronnie again, the poor little rich kid who wants to be loved. He's not happy with the $16 million (around Rs.88 crore) he earns each year at Madrid—he wants more. Money can, it seems, buy him love.
But while it's easy to knock him, it's easy too to forget what Ronaldo brings to football—and what he's done to get to the top. A player who has, over the past decade, dominated the two top football leagues, breaking into one as a precocious teenager and leaving it as its biggest star, and entering the other with a huge risk to his reputation, enduring the hard knocks before finally achieving greatness. Along the way, reinventing himself from a winger, a fringe player, to the central playmaker.
Yes, he is high maintenance—but he works at least as hard on his game as he does on his image. It's only when he's compared with his arch-rival, his bête noire, that things get, well, a bit messy.
I'll plant my flag early on—I love Ronaldo's and Madrid's style of play, its emphasis on speed over stealth, pace more than pass, direct over delicate. Make no mistake, though, Madrid's game involves as much technique as does tiki-taka. There are few—if any—sights in football better than Ronaldo in full flow, "running down that wing", as the Manchester United fans still sing, beating his first marker for sheer speed, catching an overhead pass, killing the ball with one movement, beating his second marker with a drop of the shoulder or leaving him dizzy with a series of stepovers and then beating the keeper with a bullet of a shot. All this in the space of a few seconds.
He's done that for years now; it's what prompted Manchester United to persuade their boss, on a flight back from Portugal after the teenager had tormented them in a friendly while playing for Sporting Lisbon, to sign him up.
If that were all to his game, he'd be a star. That was simply the basic package; Ronaldo Ver. 2.0 added a lethal free kick—the trick apparently lay in hitting the ball at the valve, which helps the ball drop down faster. He then perfected his heading technique and, by the time he joined Real Madrid in 2009, had the nous to play through the middle—and thus be more influential.
I had the privilege of watching one of his most commanding (and high-profile) performances, on a freezing, rain-swept day in Cape Town during the 2010 World Cup. The opponents were North Korea; at the risk, perhaps, of enhancing his reputation of being a flat-track bully, he dominated the game with his passes, his flicks and his ceaseless roaming across the park.
None of this came easy; coaches speak of endless hours spent perfecting the free kick and other tricks and Wayne Rooney wrote recently of how Ronaldo came back after the 2006 World Cup bulked up so that he could take on his defender. That body is now celebrated in a documentary aptly called Cristiano Ronaldo The Machine (look it up on YouTube) that analyses his game on various parameters. It's a pretty stunning testament to a player who, as a teenager, was operated on for an irregular heartbeat.
So why, after all those goals, all those honours, and all that money, the angst and the prima-donna mentality? I guess it can partly be explained by his background.
Ronaldo was born to a family of relatively humble means on the island of Madeira, deep in the North Atlantic, much closer to Marrakech and Casablanca than the Portuguese mainland. For a Madeiran to make it in Lisbon is the equivalent of someone from, say, Ranchi making it in Indian cricket—a small-town boy with a strange accent fighting big-city prejudices. The chip on the shoulder was just one training-ground taunt away.
Next came his stock-in-trade: Wingers (and goalkeepers) are far more prone to ridicule and abuse, it comes with the territory. Had he been a defender, a central midfielder or even an out-and-out striker, he might yet have been a different person, but a winger's modus operandi is based on the outrageous. Basically, he puts himself out on a limb; stunning when it comes off, stupid when it doesn't. Ronaldo's main weapon in his early days was the stepover, often to the point of showboating. Defenders—the foot soldiers of football—hate that, and Ronaldo's shins and calves paid the price. He was also easy meat for opposing fans—and often fans of his own side who would wish he'd just pass the bloody ball to a teammate.
Then there were the two main clubs he's played for, whose history—recent or otherwise—prompts love and loathing in equal measure. Manchester United are hated because of their success and the power that has come with it. Real Madrid's case is a bit more complicated, given their association with Franco and Spain's Fascist era, but their biggest problem today is that they aren't Barcelona and will always be seen as the team that has assembled stars rather than grown its own.
These are hard times for some of sport's great entertainers. Kevin Pietersen paid the price for his insecurities, Oscar Pistorius went down in public estimation because of his ambitions for Olympic gold. Football needs Ronaldo happy again—even at the cost of a few million dollars more. Even if it means a few more mirrors to admire that physique.

The Huawei Ascend P1 XL is basically an Ascend P1 with its battery on steroids, and now it's release is right around the corner... in China. Sadly, that's where the P1 XL will launch initially, with no details available right now on global availability.
The device, though, looks promising with that huge 2,600mAh battery that should keep juiced up for much longer periods of time, so you definitely won't have to worry about getting through the day with this Ascend P1 XL.
The handset will cost around $470 off contract. It runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich, all on a 4.3-inch qHD screen with a 1.5GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor paired with 1 gig of RAM. An 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 1.3MP front-facing shooter rounds up the spec highlights.
Huawei is working on its own quad-core processor, but the company is facing troubles that pushed it back and it now expects its first phone with it, the Ascend D quad to land on store shelves around September.

Well, Ascend P1 is basically SGS2 with slightly altered specs. Ascend D1 Quad XL is the one I'm waiting for. After a slight disappointment (SGS3) Ascend D Quad XL is the only phone that I'm excited about. And when it will be available around December around 500$ without contract- our paths will cross in a rejoycing manner.

Santa Fe's style isn't really known in a positive light. Most of the shops don't offer anything for anyone
under the age of 50 and are outrageously expensive for no good reason; then there's the mall; the end.
But there is a store giving hope to the word "style" in Santa Fe.
Really, it was Elle Magazine's finding. In an upcoming piece by the magazine about the "50 states of
fashion," the writers found, in the bat-cave of downtown (the Railyard), Daniella. Yes folks, the cotton-
candy-colored light at the end of the tunnel is really the pink sign for Daniella. Owner Daniella Fox
arrived from the east coast 10 years ago and wasn't planning on staying, but she got some gigs at local
clothing shops and realized she was great at sales. She has a background in marketing, advertising and
promotion, but within the music business. When asked what made her decide to make the huge change
into owning her own clothing store, she says, "It came from meeting and working with people. A lot of
my life I've wanted to look good and feel good. Everyone needs to come into here [Daniella] and have a
good time."
Three years ago, Daniella opened her store's doors in the throes of the economic crash. "I don't know
good times," Daniella says. She's in her shop seven days a week working on making her store a better
place to be. Her business' inner workings are evident on the surface. Daniella has used the other places
she's worked as a comparison for her own shop and how to improve it. She feels it's important how you
treat the people working for you. "I keep evolving," she says.
Upon entering the store, I was greeted kindly by the girls working there and chatted amiably with them
while I waited to meet with Daniella. There was a very relaxed feeling as one of the girls showed me
around the store. Y'all, this stuff is cute; they play fun music in there; and I didn't see one thing that I
didn't want to try on. One of the best parts is that they carry brands that no one else carries in the Fe
(I'm looking at you, hipsters). Also they're like the czar of jeans; everyone needs a pair that makes your
butt look good. Go make your own opinion about it. It's in the Railyard next to Flying Star and REI. The
Railyard is pretty much walking distance from everywhere, so you don't have an excuse.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello ncdc,
I assume you are a US citizen working in Singapore, and will answer your question on that basis. Please let me know if that is not the case.
As a US citizen, you would be responsible for taxes in both countries, however, you would also be allowed some credits to offset those taxes to help avoid or eliminate the double taxation issue. This would be the case even if you had no family living in this country. A US citizen is always subject to US taxes on his worldwide income, regardless of where he lives.
First, if you actually reside outside of the US for at least 330 days in a 12 month consecutive period, then you are entitled to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. For the 2009 tax year that amount was $91,400. That means that your first $91,400 in foreign earnings is exempt from US taxation. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion is claimed by filing Form 2555 with your US return.
If you do not meet the requirement to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, then even though the full amount of your foreign income would be subject to US tax, at the same time you would be allowed to claim a credit for the foreign taxes paid to Singapore on that same income. The foreign tax credit is claimed by filing Form 1116 with your US tax return.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thank you ncdc

First and foremost, don't get a credit card. Period. Or even if you get it, as soon as it arrives at your home or dorm, put it in a locker somewhere where you don't have access every now and then. This serves two purposes. It does help you in building your credit as you would have a card on file. And it still doesn't put you on the hook because of those tempting purchases you made as you were lured by the available credit. That awesome looking Macbook that your dorm mate bought on credit for a 1000 bucks will eventually cost him way more than that. Just buy what you can afford and pay right then and there out of pocket… not our of credit.

JERUSALEM: As Benjamin Netanyahu scrambled to form a stable coalition, Israel's new political star signalled his intention to join the government, rejecting the idea of forming a centrist ''blocking majority'' to put the brakes on the right-wing Prime Minister.
Yair Lapid's focus on domestic issues, including affordable housing and the abolition of the military service exemption for ultra-orthodox Jews, resonated with voters, whose support won him 19 seats, making his Yesh Atid (There Is A Future) party the second-largest in the new parliament.
The 49-year-old former television presenter also favours a return to negotiations with the Palestinians, yet during his campaign, he was also conscious of courting the settler vote, launching his campaign in the large West Bank settlement of Ariel.
So, while his party is ''centrist'', analysts say Mr Lapid won votes from Mr Netanyahu's Likud party and would sit comfortably in a right-leaning coalition.
Israel's election commission released the final results overnight - the right-wing bloc has 61 seats and the centre-left bloc 59 seats in the 120-seat Knesset.
Mr Lapid was quick to lay to rest any idea he might join a centre-left coalition.
''I want to remove this talk of a blocking majority,'' he said. He was pleased Mr Netanyahu had said the next government would tackle the issue of ''sharing the burden'' by drafting ultra-orthodox into the military.
Socio-economic problems will also dominate. Israel is facing a budget crisis - Mr Netanyahu's previous coalition government was unable to agree on a budget with austerity measures to deal with a growing deficit. It was one reason he was forced to call an early election.
Last week, the finance ministry revealed the budget deficit was 39 billion shekels ($9.9 billion), nearly double the 20 billion-shekel target the government set.
''We must remember that the government doesn't have a budget for 2013,'' said Professor Manuel Trajtenberg, of Tel Aviv University. ''We are operating essentially in a vacuum. The budget was supposed to be approved half a year ago.''
Professor Trajtenberg, who was appointed by Mr Netanyahu to propose solutions to Israel's socio-economic problems, said the government had created its own budget crisis.
''In particular, there was a significant increase in social spending that was supposed to be financed by a cut in defence spending and actually, the opposite happened: defence spending went up,'' he said.
The government doesn't have a budget for 2013 ... We are operating essentially in a vacuum. The budget was supposed to be approved half a year ago.
Awareness of economic pressures such as housing and healthcare affordability - two concerns that drove the huge social justice protests of 2011 - was now much higher, he said. ''The public is not willing to take a reduction in social spending in order to finance further increases in the defence budget, as happened in the past. This time, the public is going to stand firm.''

The Bank of Africa Group, Ghana is for the second time sponsoring three Ghanaian athletes to participate in the 5th edition of the Bank of Africa International Marathon which is scheduled to take place in Bamako, Mali on the 13th of January 2013.
The sponsorship worth GHC 20,000.00 covers three athletes (two males and a female), one coach and a journalist. The theme for this year's event is, "In Solidarity with Mali".
Speaking at the media briefing yesterday at the Bank's headquarters Mr. Kofi Fume (head of marketing cooperation) said the theme has been chosen to empathise with the people of Mali because of the activities of Northern Mali by some armed groups.
"So long as we are in this country we will continue to support the sport. As a Bank rooted in Mali we are doing this to boast the people of Mali", Mr. Fume said.
"With time we'll increase our budget for the event and we are very hopeful that the team we are sending will perform. Indeed we have been told that they are all good so we expect the best from them", Kofi Fume added. The three athletes, Rajj Alakple, Akakia Atempuri and Gifty Ama Koomson could not hide their joy and promised to reciprocate by bringing home laurels to mother Ghana as a sign of appreciation to the Bank of Africa Ghana Group.
The men over the age of 18 years will run a distance over 42.125 km whereas women and those younger than 18 will run for 10 km.
The participating countries for this year's event include; Ghana, Mali, Kenya, Senegal, Madagascar, Niger, Benin, Burkina Faso, Tanzania and Ivory Coast.

After 33 years, Farah's is closing
Published: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 5:35 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 30, 2013 at 5:35 p.m.
Farah's on the Avenue will close after 33 years on Sept. 14 so owner Nick Farah Jr. can concentrate on his new wholesale Mediterranean food manufacturing operation and family catering business in Jacksonville.
Farah said a Chinese restaurant called the Small China House with an owner from Jacksonville will do a $120,000 remodel before opening in his location at 1120 W. University Ave.
He said his mother has been trying to get him to come to Jacksonville where the family has a catering operation since his father died last year. Earlier this year, he also opened Farah's Mediterranean Foods, which provides falafel burgers to 36 institutional restaurants in the Jacksonville area, and he is working on a deal to provide packaged falafel, hummus and tabouleh to grocery stores.
Farah cited other reasons for closing, specifically "unchallenged GRU commercial rates for the last 10 years" and a growing number of corporate restaurants on the University of Florida campus.
"We just found ourselves in a situation where we don't see the growth potential competing against the university right now," he said.
Farah said he will keep a Gainesville residence.
"Gainesville will always be home. My kids were born and raised here."
Daily Green
Daily Green opened a couple weeks ago in the former Louis' Lunch at 436 SE Second St.
Co-owner John Arana said they offer mostly organic food for people on the go, providing a quick and healthy alternative for people working downtown who don't have a lot of time for lunch. It is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The menu includes soups and salads, sandwiches, waffles and waffle cones. Arana said the most popular items seem to be the pulled pork and meatball stuffed waffle cones for meat eaters and tempeh and seitan offerings for vegans and vegetarians.
Arana has invested in downtown for over a decade and has a construction company with his brother that did the renovations.
Cymply Fresh bistro
Brad Brooks will be closing the Cymple Gardens nursery after business Sept. 7 to prepare to open the Cymply Fresh bistro in November.
The bistro in Green Market Plaza at 5402 NW Eighth Ave. will offer sandwiches, salads and soups from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday with food grown on site by Buchholz High School students, he said.
Brooks operated Cymple Gardens and its predecessor Gardener's Edge for more than eight years.

Melbourne, July 26 (ANI): Former Australian cricketer Justin Langer has said that he does not believe that his former teammate Simon Katich will receive a dream Test recall to save Australia from Ashes doom even if he is in a stellar form in county cricket.
According to Telegraph.com.au, Katich was one of Australia's most consistent performers before his shock Test dumping in December 2010, which he believes is due to his dressing room bust-up with Michael Clarke in 2009.
However, calls are growing for Katich to be reinstated with Australia facing the real prospect of a 5-0 Ashes whitewash due to their frail batting line-up, as he has posted scores of 115, 40no, 200 and 62no while playing for Lancashire in the past three weeks.
But Katich's friend and former Test opener Langer said that the 56-Test veteran should not hold out hope of earning an Ashes recall even though he expressed his admiration for Katich, saying that he does not think Cricket Australia will call Katich for the Ashes.
However, Langer, who was Australia's batting coach before taking over at the Warriors last year, has invited Katich to play for the Warriors next year given his astonishing run of form in county cricket, although he rued that it would be a difficult task given Katich's age and family concerns.
Langer also expressed disappointment at the fact that even though Katich could have probably played 80 or 90 Tests till now, it did not work out for him, adding that he is one of the players that Langer would like to play alongside any day of the week.
Langer has signed Katich for the upcoming Twenty20 Big Bash League tournament, the report added. (ANI)

A local limit theorem for a transient chaotic walk in a frozen environment
This paper studies particle propagation in a one-dimensional inhomogeneous medium where the laws of motion are generated by chaotic and deterministic local maps. Assuming that the particle's initial location is random and uniformly distributed, this dynamical system can be reduced to a random walk in a one-dimensional inhomogeneous environment with a forbidden direction. Our main result is a local limit theorem which explains in detail why, in the long run, the random walk's probability mass function does not converge to a Gaussian density, although the corresponding limiting distribution over a coarser diffusive space scale is Gaussian.

Dome - Going With the Flow

Going With the Flow
Date: February 1, 2013
Although Epic won't go live in ambulatory settings across Johns Hopkins Medicine until April 4, positive reviews are pouring in from clinics where patient care teams have been test-driving the new clinical workflow since September.
Participants in pilot projects in the Department of Medicine say the Epic workflow fosters patient-centered care. As one physician noted in a recent survey, Epic's "electronic prescription capability, along with the medical assistants' support, is a big time saver."
A certified medical assistant who accepted more documentation responsibilities within the Epic workflow reported an "increased sense of teamwork with providers." Patient feedback included this observation: "I especially like how my prescriptions were automatically transmitted to my pharmacy."
For Department of Medicine administrator Patti Engblom, such evaluations confirm Epic's promise "as a tool for us to change the way we deliver care within the clinics."
She says the traditional physician-centric model, in which each specialty clinic has its own set of preferences, creates "paper-heavy processes" that hinder the cycle of patient care in a department that handles more than 250,000 outpatient visits annually. Epic reframes and standardizes clinical workflow and redistributes documentation tasks to care team members according to their role.
So far, 40 Epic pilots have been completed in primary care and specialty practices within adult medicine. "We plan to continue them so that all of the providers are involved," Engblom says.
Although paper medical record forms are used in the pilots, they mirror Epic processes and pinpoint opportunities for streamlining patient flow, from check-in to check-out.
Many physicians, for example, are concerned about how much time Epic requires and how they can avoid falling behind on seeing patients, says Stephen Sisson, associate professor of medicine and co-leader of the department's transition to Epic. So far, pilot data have uncovered opportunities to offset physicians' time-consuming charting duties by assigning more responsibilities to certified medical assistants. "We looked to see where a medical assistant could collect patient data instead of the doctor," Sisson says.
The pilots also address the need for more standardized patient scheduling, Engblom says. Physicians have "traditionally defined how they want their template to look. We're finding we have to reappraise the templates to ensure the most efficient flow of new and returning patients."
Patients largely approve of the workflow redesigns, Engblom says. "Only 7 percent of responses have been negative. In my mind, that's pretty good."

And you will want to carry on playing. This is partly because there's so much variation between levels, in terms of both pace and content. Even when you're stuck on a particularly tricky bit you know there's probably a gentler platforming section, a pretty new environment or a fun mine cart race just round the corner.
Yes, DKC fans, mine cart races are back. So are stampeding rhinos and exploding barrels and banana coins and life balloons and silly boss battles. If all that wasn't enough, the same old sound effects and theme tunes are also there to take you right back to the good old days.
All those chirpy hooks, pounding drums and bright sound effects which sound like they were created by someone taking a hammer to a coconut are present and correct. Even the Game Over tune is the same. You know, the one with the ominous pan pipes playing over the mournful synthesiser. I want it played as I go through the curtains at the crematorium.
Unfortunately, the similarities between DKC Returns and the original games also extend to the multiplayer mode. Just as it was in those games, it's a bit rubbish. One player controls Donkey while the other is in charge of Diddy, and you're always on-screen at the same time. Or at least that's the plan - in reality, with so much happening on-screen, such large character sprites and that close-up camera, you spend a lot of time waiting for each other to catch up.

When it comes to the on-rails levels the two-player mode is seriously flawed. You're both in the same boat, or rather mine cart, so you can't tell who messed up that jump or who was responsible for that leap to victory. Plus, if one player makes a mistake you'll each lose a life. This makes it easy to burn through those red balloons, and impossible to complete the trickier levels if you're playing alongside an idiot.
So forget the formal multiplayer mode. You're better off sticking with the tried and trusted formula my brother and I patented in 1994, where you swap the controller every time someone dies or finishes a level. We call this mechanism, brilliantly, lifeforalifelevelforalevel. We employed it when playing DKC Returns the other day and it was great fun, even though we now have a combined age of 60.
In any case, the DKC games were never about multiplayer. They were about great gameplay, varied levels, plush graphics and staying up all night riding a giant ostrich through a jungle full of angry wasps and golden bananas. Donkey Kong Country Returns lovingly recreates all those elements and presents them in an even prettier package.
You could argue that it doesn't move the series forwards much. There are a few new twists in here, but nothing which fundamentally changes the game or represents a significant departure from the tried and true formula.
But who cares? DKC fans who just want to remember the good old times won't, and nor will newcomers to the series. This game has the potential to win over a whole new generation, and to do so without eliciting any whinges from those of us old enough to remember the taste of a McRib washed down with Tab Clear.
If you fit into either of those categories, and you're looking for a bit of fun, old school escapism this Christmas, pick up a copy of DKC Returns. It's great to be back in the old Country.

Hello - I am trying to split a string using the back slash '\' as the separator.
I am getting this error:
Compiler Error Message: CS1010: Newline in constant
Source Error:
Line 305: strUsername = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"];
Line 306:
Line 307: string[] arrResult = strUsername.Split("\\");
Line 308: Response.Write(arrResult[1]);
Line 309: Response.End();
The C# compiler thinks I am trying to create a newline.
How can I get the string to seperate into array parts using a back slash as a separator?
I've Googled and Googled but cann ot find an answer.
Try Split("\\") - You need to escape the backslash in order for it to work.
Hey Jimmy, I tried that actually and got this error:
Compiler Error Message: CS1502: The best overloaded method match for 'string.Split(params char[])' has some invalid arguments
var t = 'ONE\\\\TWO';
t = t.replace(/\\\\/g,'<backslash>');
t = t.split('<backslash>');
use single quotes to tell it its a 'c'haracter rather than a "string"
string[] arrResult = strUsername.Split('\\\\');
on a side note i wish @'\' was valid code
I found the answer and I thought that I would share with anyone who is interested:
Captured a string with a DOMAIN\UserNameReplaced the backslash separator like so: strUserName.Replace("\\", ",");Created an array with two parts [0], [1]: string[] arrResult = strUserName.Split(new Char[] {','});Wrote it to the page to QA the result:Response.Write(arrResult[1]);Response.End();

Day Off Sees Players Tour DMZ, Relax, Golf
U.S. TEAM TOURS DMZ IN KOREA: The U.S. Men's National Team, led by head coach Bruce Arena, toured the DMZ on Saturday along the border of North and South Korea. Arena and assistant coach Glenn Myernick were joined by 11 players as they toured U.S. Military Camp Bonifas (located just 400 meters south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone) and the DMZ, which was highlighted by a visit to the Freedom House.
Freedom House Impresses
The Freedom House is a conference room actually built along the line of demarcation (38th parallel), and is controlled on one side by North Korea and on one side by South Korea. While touring the room, the players were led across the room into North Korea and back. During the four-hour tour of the area, the team stopped at posts throughout the camp to visit with troops, eventually conducting an autograph session at The Sanctuary Club on base.
DMB at the DMZ
The players on the tour included Jeff Agoos, DaMarcus Beasley (DMB), Gregg Berhalter, Steve Cherundolo, Landon Donovan, Kasey Keller, Tony Meola, John O'Brien, Eddie Pope, Claudio Reyna and Tony Sanneh. For Agoos and Donovan, the trip was their second tour of the DMZ, having previously visited the area with the U.S. on Dec. 6, 2001, prior to the team's post-Draw friendly with Korea. "I was clueless until today,'' said Beasley, the youngest player on the U.S. squad. "People take for granted what goes on in the world. You forget how much people do for our country. This is a way of seeing what they do day in and day out." Before departing, Arena could be seen waving out of an open window from the Chinook-47 helicopter, which transported the team from Seoul into the Joint Security Area (JSA), which houses Camp Bonifas and the U.S. and Republic of Korea forces which patrol and protect the DMZ.
Strong Media Contingent Travels to DMZ
The U.S. media corps traveling to the DMZ numbered 39 strong and included writers from Associated Press, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Reuters, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, Wall St. Journal and Washington Post, among others. Additionally, camera crews from AP TV, ESPN, Futbol Mundial, Reuters TV and Telemundo also made the hour-long bus ride from Seoul into the DMZ to cover the visit.
Background on the DMZ
The Korean Demilitarized Zone is an area of land ncompassing a four-kilometer wide strip of land straddling the 151-mile long Military Demarcation Line (MDL). The July 27, 1953, Armistice Agreement established the DMZ along the approximate line of ground contact between the opposing forces at the time the truce ended the Korean War. As the base camp for the United Nations Command Security Force, Camp Bonifas was previously known as Camp Kitty Hawk before being named after Captain Arthur G. Bonifas in 1986. Bonifas and UNC security officer Lieutenant Mark T. Barrett were slain in the line of duty in the area in 1976.
TEE-TIME!: As half the U.S. squad toured the DMZ in South Korea, a contingent of six players took advantage of their first day off in Seoul by hitting the links. Brad Friedel, Eddie Lewis, Pablo Mastroeni, Clint Mathis, Brian McBride and Josh Wolff, as well as assistant coach Dave Sarachan, took advantage of a clear day to enjoy the golfing amenities of a local course in Seoul. As part of the day's event, each golfer had his own personal caddie, all of whom were female.
PRACTICE OPEN FOR 15 MINUTES AT 10 a.m.; MEDIA AVAILABILITY SCHEDULED FOR 1:30 p.m.: The U.S. Men's National Team will be available to the media at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon (June 1) at the team hotel at the J.W. Marriott. U.S. head coach Bruce Arena and selected players will be available to the media at that time via a press conference and mixed-zone session.

Look, you can admit it. You were a little scared back in May, when you were staring at Ohio State's list of committed recruits for 2015 and noting only two names on the list. With a nervous twitch, you repeatedly refreshed the website over and over in the hopes that Urban had just seduced a four star defensive back or even a three star offensive lineman (WE NEED DEPTH, OKAY??) to come to Columbus, the oasis of the gigantic desert wasteland that is the rest of the Big Ten.
And, of course, it happened. The last four weeks or so have been a bounty for recruitniks, and for that very reason Michael and I have brought on 11W's own Jeremy Birmingham to talk a little 'crootin and hopefully calm the assorted pantywaists and naysayers that still remain out there.
All that, and Ask Us Anything! Keep sending in those questions to firstname.lastname@example.com, this week we've got a veritable treasure trove to go through and we couldn't be happier.
Your guide the the hot spots:
0:22 Do you like recruiting? I do! I like it even more when Ohio State is pulling in a bunch of good looking players.
15:31 Jeremy confirms how awesome that is, and also goes into some detail about those new pick ups, along with who Urban and company might be targeting next.
34:57 Ask Us Anything! Soccer, superheroes, scandals. We've got you covered.
55:20 Y'arr, technology be a fickle mistress.
Music on the Dubcast this week was Sweat Shock by J Roddy Walston and The Business, Sho Yo Ass by The Coup, and a personal all time favorite of mine, Fat Man In The Bathtub by Little Feat. I put the whole thing in there because it's just that good. See you all next month!

Durban - They have had no contact with their parents whatsoever in nine years, and now four children who were removed from their Russian parents amid allegations of sexual exploitation want to sever all ties.
In an application in the Durban High Court on Thursday, advocate André Stokes – who has been appointed as curator for the four children, now 17, 11, 10 and eight – asked for an order terminating or suspending the couple's parental responsibilities and rights.
If granted, it will mean that they can no longer stand in the way of attempts by the children's foster parents to adopt them.
"They deserve finality and permanency after the drawn-out legal battles during the past nine years," said Stokes in an affidavit before Judge Anton van Zyl.
"It is time for the adoption hearing to commence. The parents will not be stopped from participating in this but this application is aimed at preventing a situation where, through the unreasonable refusal to consent, they can frustrate the process.
"It also stops them putting their needs ahead of their children."
The parents were arrested in August 2003 and the children – the youngest being only six days old – were taken into care before being placed with two foster families where they have been ever since.
After a high-profile trial, which centred on photographs of the couple naked and performing indecent acts with some of the children, the couple were convicted on various charges and sentenced to jail.
However, their convictions and sentences were set aside on appeal in June 2006 because the photographs were found to have been inadmissible as evidence.
Stokes said the couple had not denied the contents of the photographs, but had "rather sought to justify them according to religious and cultural practices".
He said numerous experts had evaluated the children about whether or not contact and reunification with their parents was in their best interests. It seemed that the children had no interest in seeing their parents and, in fact, the eldest had expressed anger that they were not in jail.
The couple had "used every legal angle at their disposal to regain their children", Stokes said.
"Unfortunately, it appears that the same vigour and enthusiasm employed in the mounting of the legal challenges was dispensed with when it came to ensuring they receive the necessary psychotherapy in order to rectify their past behaviour towards their children."
A psychologist who interviewed the parents said both felt they had been judged unfairly – in accordance with SA norms – whereas their behaviour, based on pagan practices, would have been considered acceptable in Russia.
Stokes said that throughout the past nine years the couple had known that if they wanted to see their children they needed to have intense treatment. But this had not occurred. In the meantime, the children's constitutional rights were being violated.
"They are all crying out for an urgent resolution to this situation," he said. "They all want to remain with their respective foster families, and with each day that passes their rights are violated."
However, the parents are putting up a fight. They are opposing the application and have said they will lodge a counter application, again insisting on reunification.
The matter will be back in court in late August.

TAMPA — It was fun and games until the gun went off.
Neither of the Tampa police officers involved in a January horseplay incident inside the District III office was injured, but both received a one-week suspension without pay Tuesday. A third officer received a disciplinary letter.
It could have turned out much worse: The bullet struck one of the officers in his service belt, only bruising him.
Assistant Chief Marc Hamlin said the department had never seen anything quite like this.
"Nobody is more disappointed in their actions than the two officers themselves," he said. "They were very upset and felt it was distracting to the mission of the police department."
According to a internal investigation, Officer Sean Stuart was preparing to transfer from night shift patrol in District III to a day shift job when he decided to make turning over his desk key into a competition.
Stuart, 44, a 12-year-veteran of the department, dropped the key and walked away.
Officers Nick Wilson and Matt Simons raced in rolling chairs across a cubicle space in the Field Training and Evaluation area of District III, the headquarters at 3808 N 22nd St. that last week honored fallen Officers Jeffrey Kocab and David Curtis.
A letter of disposition says that Wilson pulled his Taser and Simons pulled his service pistol
"Their only intention being to playfully one-up each other in their goal for the key," the letter said.
Police are unclear how Simons' gun went off, Hamlin said, striking Wilson in the gunbelt.
Both officers were cleared of criminal wrongdoing by the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office.
However, the internal affairs investigation found both men violated a number of departmental regulations, including improper exhibition of dangerous weapons, safety and attention to duty.
"These are two very good officers, both high performers," Hamlin said. "The two officers are friends. They get along fine."
Stuart received a letter of counseling, which will remain in his employee file for one year and will be taken into consideration if he is disciplined again within that time.
Police said he violated the standards of conduct for not turning in his key to his supervisor and launching the competition, but acknowledged that he did not expect the escalation.
Simons, 35, has worked for Tampa police for 11 years and has no previous disciplinary history. Wilson, 32, is a five-year veteran who has been disciplined twice for traffic crashes in which his driving should have been more prudent, Hamlin said.
As they awaited the outcome of the internal investigation, Wilson and Simons returned to their regular patrol jobs after the state's attorney cleared them of any criminal infractions.

I guess this might be a strange topic, but I doubt I'm alone in this. I'm tired of looking at my offices ugly title block....as well as all our consultants ugly title blocks.
Any one out there ever see a pretty one? Or does their function render the aesthetics a moot point?
I have been curious about this too. However, some jurisdictions have very specific requirements about the title blocks such as the NYC DOB
I don't think title blocks are supposed to be pretty. They're more informative than anything and construction documents aren't design presentations. The people reading them will not care how nice the title block is.
I agree, title blocks matter as too the appearance of the line drawings. I had recently been in a position to view a variety of firm drawings. Found most lifeless.... I think it reflects on their work as architects.
I designed my title block to take up less space on the sheet, allowing for more room for the drawings to be verbose, maybe this allows me more time for design. And I did spend some time making it look nice. However, it's not something I'm going to obsess about, rather spend my time making the building look good than the title block.
The title block is just as much a representation of the quality of the firm as the drawings themselves. It is not merely informative and should be designed with as much care as any marketing material that is sent out. You may think the average consultant or contractor won't care about how "pretty" your title block is, but they aren't the only ones looking at your drawings. A well designed and thought out title block will often times be your first introduction to potential clients. Your current clients will also be looking at it. Each drawing you produce is a marketing opportunity and should be well thought out and should reflect your firm in a unique and interesting way.
archiphreak I completely agree with everything you just said. Thanks for stating it so succinctly. I don't think many realize how far and wide these things circulate…..100's of people look at these things during the life of a project. With the use of the internet today sheets get passed all over the country to vendors, reps, manufactures & suppliers. The first thing that gets looked at is the title block, it has drawing info included but it should also be considered a business card.
This is broadening this out but the appearance of CD's and their title blocks matters. As I said I had the opportunity to view all of my community architects work during a city-wide school building campaign and most was bad. One of the most respected/awarded architects here got my award for the worst set. People talked about it, some scoffed, why would you want that or not care about that?
I would like to see some of your "beautiful titleblocks." I think the only thing that should be well designed is the information on the page. Is it fluid, organized, logical, et cetera. Your firm's logo on the page should be well designed, but I'm not going to spend time looking for pretty fonts to throw on a title block.
Are you sure you want to block this user and hide all related comments throughout the site?

A EUROPEAN Union directive concerning the manufacturing of trains and trams is set to give Cradley Heath firm Parry People Movers a major boost.
PPM went into receivership last July but a new version of the company is developing a brand new tram which will benefit from the new more lax EU laws.
Black Country Euro MP Phil Bennion is delighted train companies will no longer have to navigate 11,000 different safety rules across 26 different national rail networks.
He said: "These new rules will bring down the costs of new trains and will simplify the process of complying with safety rules. That can only be good news for passengers as it will lead to cheaper fares.
"The crippling cost of applying for separate safety certificates and redesigning trains for each national rail system has damaged our rail industry.
"It also increased costs facing small manufacturers like Parry People Movers, of Cradley Heath, which developed a brilliant low energy train in daily use on the Stourbridge Town branch.
"For too long all European trains have been more expensive to design and build than they should be. Adapting trains for export just cost too much. This package will go some way to putting that right."
He added: "However, I am disappointed that MEPs did not also support increasing competition in domestic markets which could have reduced operating costs by almost a third. Opening up the single market on our railways would lead to cheaper travel but also greener travel. It would encourage a further shift from road or air to train travel, which uses far less carbon."
John Parry, founder of PPM, believes with the simplification of regulations and new passenger trends could lead to a golden era of train and tram building.
He said: "Growth in the use of railways for commuting into regional centres has applied unexpected pressure on the availability of diesel trains, which has opened up an opportunity for the PPM 100.
"A smaller, parallel market has presented itself, local initiatives emerging which relate to towns where a railway exists but is only used for freight or mainly weekend heritage visitors or is mothballed and able to be brought back into use."

One of the rich traditions of college football has been the Texas A & M Fightin' Texas Aggie Band marching onto the gridiron in support of their beloved Aggies squad. I believe we're talking about the largest military marching band there is.
The band remains as one of the very best things about watching A & M football, but the team itself may be heading into the witness protection program in bolting the Big 12 for the SEC. While the Fightin' Aggie Band marches on…the pigskin program possibly just marched off a cliff.
You can say you're in a better conference, but that means better competition.
You can say you're making more revenue, but that means you have to spend more to keep up.
Sure, I know the SEC is as high-profile a football conference as any. But like any conference, there are haves and have-nots. And in this conference, there are a whole bunch of haves.
To me, this came about primarily because once ESPN and the University of Texas formed their highly controversial Longhorn Network, A & M felt they had to one-up UT.
Originally, I thought the Big 12 members were ALL in agreement the best way to keep everyone in place and maintain it as a premier conference was to let Texas do their own thing. After all, they're Texas. Sometimes, you have to keep your friends close, your enemies closer.
If A & M felt earlier the Big 12 was headed for collapse or Texas was gaining an unfair advantage having their own TV station…perhaps they could have saved the other members the very hard work extended by all to keep things whole when Texas first made noise about leaving unless they were allowed to expand their brand within the Big 12 umbrella.
I am disappointed in the continued fracture of the sport from geographical and traditional angles alike. My head is not in the sand and I know this is big-boy biz. I just have to feel the student body at A & M – the 12th Man – would rather be considered a favorite year-in, year-out in the Big 12 competing against traditional rivals than a newly arrived, mid-level SEC team, which is exactly where they are headed now. A & M's move will probably put a final stake in the heart of the Big 12.
We'll probably never know if A & M planned this all along and just nodded faux agreement to Texas being allowed to spread their horns but as stated, they certainly made it appear that way…to everyone involved.

1. Unique bike racks for Junior Lifeguards
This summer, the Huntington Beach Junior Lifeguards have a stylish place to lock up their bikes.
Mitchel Anderson installed five surfboard-shaped bike racks and five U-shaped bike racks June 14 at the Junior Guard headquarters as his community service project to earn the Eagle Scout distinction. The colors represent the five ranks of the Junior Guards – red, green, yellow, white and pink, Anderson said. The old racks were rusted and decayed. Anderson collected more than $5,000 in donations to complete the project.

2. Kardashians launch beauty line in H.B.
The Kardashians take Surf City.
Not really. Thankfully, they were just visiting.
Khloe Kardashian-Odom and Kourtney Kardashian made an appearance at the Ulta in Bella Terra on June 9 to launch their new makeup line.
Pregnant sister Kim was absent from the festivities, but Khloe and Kourtney met with fans and signed autographs for a couple of hours, according to celebuzz.com.
About 250 fans that purchased a Kardashian Beauty kit were ushered in to meet the sisters and get a signed photograph.
Their products are available at stores including Ulta, CVS and Kmart.

3. H.B. native brews beer in San Diego
For years I've been hearing about San Diego's burgeoning beer scene and tasting the results. I've always enjoyed Karl Strauss, which arguably put our southern neighbor on the map as a beer destination when it opened in 1989. More recently Stone Brewing Co., The Lost Abbey and several other excellent craft beer producers have gained attention.
A wonderful place to sample the locally brewed bounty when you're in San Diego is Bottlecraft Beer Shop & Tasting Room in Little Italy (there's a second location in North Park). I dropped by a couple of times during a short visit earlier this month and enjoyed the San Diegan ambience: ultra casual, laid back and friendly (dog-friendly, too – because Bottlecraft doesn't serve food, people are free to bring their pooches to the bar, and many do).
You'll find more than 700 brands of imported, domestic and local beer organized by geographic origin, and you can sample them at a no-frills bar in the middle of the room.
Owner Brian Jensen, a Huntington Beach native, has been involved in the food and beverage scene for years. He went to culinary school in New York, then worked for a time in a Brooklyn wine store before joining the Gallo family's wine business. After moving to San Diego, "Brian noticed all these wine stores where the staff was knowledgeable. He saw a need for that level of knowledge in beer," said Bottlecraft general manager Josh Van Bruggen.
Jensen began looking for a storefront, and he quickly settled on a vacant space in Little Italy. The neighborhood is a growing food Mecca with lots of foot traffic.
"This place used to be a wine shop," Van Bruggen said. "We bought their license, and we've been growing since the day it opened in June 2011. One of our main purposes is to support our local breweries here in San Diego. That's what people are looking for when they come in here."
But Jensen doesn't want to cater just to the beer geeks, Van Bruggen said.
"We try to serve every beer drinker wherever they are on the craft beer spectrum, from entry-level people who are just getting past Budweiser to the hard-core beer fan." Van Bruggen describes the typical customer as a 25- to 40-year-old male, although women are not a small minority.

4. Surf City single moms are hot
Last week, we learned Surf City was No. 7 in the nation for dateable single dads, but it turns out single moms in the area are even more desirable.
Ourtime.com listed Huntington Beach the No. 6 city in the country for single moms. Irvine was listed as No. 9.
They were the only two California cities on the list.
The dating website looked at its internal data to find which U.S. cities had moms getting the most messages from other members – a sign that they are among the most admired of their clients.
