Building Software for Simulation
Theory and Algorithms, with Applications in C++
This book offers a concise introduction to the art of building simulation software, collecting the most important concepts and algorithms in one place. Written for both individuals new to the field of modeling and simulation as well as experienced practitioners, this guide explains the design and implementation of simulation software used in the engineering of large systems while presenting the relevant mathematical elements, concept discussions, and code development.
The book approaches the topic from the perspective of Zeigler's theory of modeling and simulation, introducing the theory's fundamental concepts and showing how to apply them to engineering problems. Readers will learn five necessary skills for building simulations of complicated systems:
- Working with fundamental abstractions for simulating dynamic systems
- Developing basic simulation algorithms for continuous and discrete event models
- Combining continuous and discrete event simulations into a coherent whole
- Applying strategies for testing a simulation
- Understanding the theoretical foundations of the modeling constructs and simulation algorithms
The central chapters of the book introduce, explain, and demonstrate the elements of the theory that are most important for building simulation tools. They are bracketed by applications to robotics, control and communications, and electric power systems; these comprehensive examples clearly illustrate how the concepts and algorithms are put to use. Readers will explore the design of object-oriented simulation programs, simulation using multi-core processors, and the integration of simulators into larger software systems.
The focus on software makes this book particularly useful for computer science and computer engineering courses in simulation that focus on building simulators. It is indispensable reading for undergraduate and graduate students studying modeling and simulation, as well as for practicing scientists and engineers involved in the development of simulation tools.less

|The Game Story:
|AURORA, N.Y. - The Mount Saint Mary College men's lacrosse team snapped a three game losing skid with a 10-8 win over Wells College on Monday afternoon. With the win, the Mount moves uo to 5-6 on the season, while the Express evens their overall record at 3-3.
Mount junior Nick Findlay (Elmont, N.Y.) opened up the scoring with an unassisted tally at the 9:47 mark that put the Knights up 1-0 in the early going. The Express followed with a goal of their own just 19 seconds later to even the score, 1-1. The Mount regained the lead with just over five minutes to go in the first, as freshman Jake Robison (Franklin Square, N.Y.) buried a feed from classmate CJ Cardo (Merrick, N.Y.).
Mount freshman David Hobbs (Baldwin, N.Y.) added the Knights' lone goal of the second quarter and the Express added three tallies to jump ahead, 4-3, at the break.
Cardo evened the score at 4-4 in the opening minutes of the third quarter, before a goal by Wells senior David Kaus (Erie, Pa.) put the Express back up by one. Findlay added an unassisted tally just 12 seconds after Kaus' goal, but Kaus quickly struck again to maintain the lead.
Trailing by one, Robison netted his second of the night with 19 seconds left in the third to knot things up, 6-6. Hobbs, Findlay and Robison each added goals in the first five minutes of the fourth to put the Knights on top by three, 9-6.
The Express threatened for the lead, when Wells sophomore Forrest Lambert (Aurora, Colo.) scored his first of the day with 6:05 remaining on the clock to cut the Knights' lead to one, 9-8. Robison scored his fourth of the day at the 2:51 mark to ice the win for the Knights.
Robison finished with a game-high four goals, while Findlay followed closely behind with three. Hobbs tallied three points (2G,1A) and Cardo added a goal and an assist. Sophomore goalkeeper Shawn Cobstill (Oneonta, N.Y.) was instrumental in preserving the win, making 18 saves.
Wells freshman Nicholas Dolan (Englewood, Colo.) led the Express with three goals and Kaus finished with three points (2G,1A).

I can't say I was trying all that hard this morning to get outside the box with this outfit: there isn't much to it. However, after weeks and weeks of rather wide legged trousers, I was quite happy to remember that these had slimmer fit. I was also rather happy that the legs weren't like sausage casings like they used to be, too! The necklace length doesn't really fit correctly - I should have looped it one less time!

I love the pop of green in the shirt underneath! The slim-fit pants look really great on you.ReplyDelete
Wow, your legs look a mile long in these pants! Love them!ReplyDelete
I like the short necklace (and love the dark orange? red? with the pop of green), but yeah, one longer one with it would have been good too.
Hello...really nice blog...just found you:)ReplyDelete

Ballston Officials in the Town of Ballston are hoping to make managing the town's water system less complicated and more equitable by consolidating extensions.
The primary water district in the town, Water District 2, could soon add its 22nd extension in Timber Creek, a housing development that is starting Phase II of construction. Officials said these extensions are creating a massive headache for the town when it comes to billing and determining a fair and equitable distribution of debt. An ever-expanding water system is both good and bad, said Water Superintendent Joe Whalen.
"More extensions mean more users, more customers and more revenue from those customers," said Whalen. "But certain extensions are profiting from other extensions and not paying their fair share. If the water district was consolidated, it would mean that they would have to start paying their fair share."
Whalen said he finds all of these extensions extremely difficult to manage, especially when crafting a budget, in which officials must decide which districts or extensions should pay for capital improvements like construction of a water pump, or be billed for repairs.
Water District 2 was established back in the 1970s. The first extension made to Water District 2 was No. 7. Numbers 3 and 4 are in the village of Ballston Spa and Nos. 5 and 6 are in Glenville.
Since that first extension, 14 more extensions have been created off of Water District 2. Whalen is still amazed by how quickly the extensions have grown.
"This is my 11th year as water superintendent," he said. "When I first started, there were approximately 1,100 to 1,200 customers. Now, there are 2,060 customers. That is 100 percent growth."
The situation is made even more complicated in that extensions were sometimes added to existing extensions, making some of them isolated and difficult to consolidate.

JdR pulls the elephant out of his hat yet again. Except….
We currently have a president that has never left campaign mode. Since day 1 of his election through today, what we get is repeated speeches, bottomless donations, and endless taxpayer funded travel. Miller said it well. We wanted hope and change and we got Hope and Crosby. We're off on the road to distruction. Finances will not be the same…
The economy, the stimulus, unemployment, the oil spill and drilling ban, obamacare, Afghanistan, Iran and the bomb, illegal immigration, the national debt, the deficit, tax hikes, out of control government spending, bailouts, the war on terror, and the economy.
Oh, and did I mention the economy? After all, as the Clintons campaigned: "Its the economy, stupid."
November looks to be a month of hope and change!
Truth–reality–must seem so very tiresome to childish, fad-loving "liberals."
The extent to which the Republican party does not uphold freedom's timeless precepts is the extent to which it will fail.
President – D
US Senate – D
US House – D
Governor – D
NY Senate – D
NY Assembly – D
JdR Calculus: D!= D x D x D x D x D x D = R
Rangel, Gitmo, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Holder, Waters, Pelosi, Reid, GM, Chrysler, ACORN, SEIU, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, the Christmas terrorist bombing attempt, the terrorist trials in NYC,
Rangel, Reid, Gitmo, ACORN, GM, Chrysler, SEIU, Blago, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, Christmas Bomber, Holder, terror trials in NYC, and don't forget Pelosi!
Read Paul Krugman's column in the Times today…enough said.
Agreed JdR – great cartoon.
Republicans seem to think they can just shift the blame of aftermath of the failed policies of 8 years with a dumbass Republican president in office onto the Dems solely because people got fed up with them and it's taking some time to undo what it took EIGHT YEARS to do.
Go figure. Republicans – the party of no, and the party of "It's not my fault!"
Rpublican legislators are stuck on NO and hold their breath like toddlers—but liberals are childish????? I say it's time for the "fad" of regressive taxation to go away.
LOL @ "blame Bush!" I hope the Dems keep using that failed line all the way to the election!
Culture wars are a staple of the liberal left, which is why they constantly beat the 'tax the rich' drum. It is the main reason we have a socialist in office right now, because people were convinced that spreading the wealth around was the way to go.
John, I encourage you to gather information from more serious sources than you've linked to in your previous posts, especially regarding the mosque. Salon and Slate do not a balanced argument make.
Your stance on this mosque building is very short-sighted, as you seem intent on making this about religion and race. It's called national security.
Please read more about Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's incendiary comments about America. Please read more about his claims that America is already Shariah compliant. Please read more about his participation in the Shariah Index Project, and how 6 of the floors in his mosque have likely been dedicated to further implementation of Shariah law.
Turn the tunnel vision off.
And now the housing market is tanking! This is a serious political issue, with serious political impllications for November.
It appears that the efforts, by BO and the Dems, to stimulate the housing market have failed, as have all of their other efforts to stimulate the economy. It appears that, as critics of the Dems' plan had said all along, the tax credit simply advanced home sales, from after the tax credit expired, to before the tax credit expired. Now that the Dems' tax credit is dead, so is the housing market. More failure from the Dems.
Let's hope for some change we can believe in this November!

Thornton, FSU end Clemson's ACC Tournament run
FSU 67, Clemson 66
Al Thornton was as surprised as anyone inside the St. Pete Times Forum.
As he went into the air for a final shot with under two seconds left in Florida State's ACC Tournament first-round game with Clemson, the Seminoles' senior forward thought the game was going to overtime.
Clemson sophomore swingman K.C. Rivers, the man guarding Thornton, was, in his words, "moving my feet, hands behind me."
So when referee Sean Hull whistled Rivers for a two-shot foul with 1.5 seconds left, giving Thornton two free throws to win the game, Thornton couldn't believe it.
"I thought we were going to overtime," he said. "I was kind of shocked to get the call."
Instead, he made the second of two free throws, a desperation shot by Clemson's Vernon Hamilton fell well short, and the Seminoles escaped with a shocking — and possibly NCAA bubble-bursting — 67-66 win over the Tigers in Thursday's ACC Tournament opener.
Clemson fell to 21-10 overall as the Seminoles (20-11) avenged a pair of regular-season losses to the Tigers. They advanced to play top-seeded North Carolina in today's ACC quarterfinals.
The loss was Clemson's most painful in a late-season stretch full of them, and it might be the most damaging when NCAA Tournament bids are handed out Sunday night.
Thornton's frank honesty didn't help, either.
"It's unfortunate," Clemson coach Oliver Purnell said of the foul. "I've been in a lot of basketball games, and this is one of the toughest losses. I'm sorry it came down to that."
Purnell simmered about the call. When asked to elaborate on the call, he said, "I just told you."
Later, holding court with a group of state reporters in the shower area of the Tigers' locker room, Purnell looked every bit like a man trying to keep his emotions inside him without saying something he'd regret later.
"It's hard to take losing a hard-fought ballgame that way," he said. "That pretty much is my statement."
If the Tigers are left out in the cold on Selection Sunday, they can blame a series of late-game collapses that came to a head Thursday.
With 4:03 left, Clemson led 66-61, was riding a 6-0 run and looked about to take control of a game that had been tight and hard-fought throughout, with 21 lead changes.
But junior forward James Mays missed a makeable lay-up from close range, and an uncovered Toney Douglas buried a 3-pointer while three Tigers watched.
Just like that, it was 66-64. Clemson didn't score again, committing three turnovers and missing four shots.
"That was a turning point for sure," Purnell said. "We miss that lay-up, come down in transition and don't guard very well. We left Douglas out there and he knocks down the shot."
Thornton, who had a game-high 25 points, tied the game on a driving baseline dunk with 1:39 left. On the next possession, Rivers was whistled for an offensive foul on a drive to the hoop, but freshman center Trevor Booker stuffed Thornton on the return trip, giving the Tigers a chance to hold for the final shot with 17 seconds left.
Hamilton drove to the right side of the key and passed out to junior guard Cliff Hammonds. But the ball bounced off his leg and over the halfcourt line, and Clemson was whistled for an over-and-back violation.
That gave the Seminoles one last chance with 8.3 seconds left, and everyone in the Forum knew who was taking the shot.
Thornton drove the lane, and appeared to be going up for a shot, with Rivers in tight coverage. Hull whistled the foul, and the Tigers' bench reacted in shock.
"I saw (Thornton) throw himself into K.C.," Booker said. "He threw himself into K.C. and they called it on us. It's just crazy."
Rivers said there was "no possible way" he fouled Thornton.
Thornton's free throw sealed a collapse that could spell NCAA doom for Clemson, hoping for its first NCAA bid since 1998. After starting out a Division I best 17-0, the Tigers have lost 10 of their last 14.
"I think we've done enough to be in the NCAA Tournament," Purnell said. "You want to win as many games as you can. Even if we'd have won today and lost tomorrow, we'd still be up here (talking about this). In my opinion, we've done enough."

The AFP reports, via Yahoo! News:
… Read the rest
An Italian court on Wednesday upped the sentences for 23 CIA agents convicted in absentia of abducting an Egyptian imam in one of the biggest cases against the US "extraordinary rendition" program.
The 23 CIA agents, originally sentenced in November 2009 to five to eight years in prison, had their sentences increased to seven to nine years on appeal in what one of the defence lawyers described as a "shocking blow" for the US.
They were also ordered to pay 1.5 million euros (2.0 million dollars) in damages to the imam and his wife for the 2003 abduction.
Washington has refused to extradite the agents, who all remain at liberty but now risk arrest if they travel to Europe.
Osama Mustafa Hassan, a radical Islamist opposition figure better known as Abu Omar, was snatched from a street in Milan in 2003 in an operation coordinated by the CIA and the Italian military intelligence agency SISMI.

With no family and friends publicly coming forward to help Lindsay Lohan's storage debt, it seems she has now been offered help.
But it's a lifeline that might cross a fine-line as the offer is from a strip club.
With IRS supposedly freezing the actresses bank accounts due to unpaid taxes and a looming storage debt of $16,000, the 26 year-old has been approached by 'Scores strip club' in NYC. But it's not to flash for the cash, it's to act as an online video chat host for its website which doesn't involve nudity.
And in return? Have the storage locker debt paid in full.
TMZ reports that the Liz & Dick star fell behind on payments and its now crunch time, with the company ready to auction off her stuff in days.
'Scores' have stepped in to relieve the stress, offer some hosting work and even pay a couple of months rent. The chances of this happening may not be so unrealistic because the locker could have sensitive personal items in there that Lindsay might not want to the world to see, and she can't access it unless the debt is paid.

It is not easy (to my mind) to find a good nasi lemak place in Perth. Much less one that is of great value. AH has been telling me about Rice Noodle House, and their awesome nasi lemak and rendang for a long long time. And being the eager beaver that I was, I decided to pull the folks along to Shelley one afternoon to give the place a go.
Coinciding with our early lunch time, we arrived at Rice Noodle House just a little after they opened (11.30am). The place boasts of only a small area, so getting there early is always a good idea.
We found ourselves a seat, and deliberated on their rather simple menu, which was about a page and a half. Heading there for nasi lemak, we decided on the following:
- Nasi Lemak with Fried Chicken (large)
- Nasi Lemak with Curry Chicken
- Rendang
- Kailan with oyster sauce
- Kickapoo for drinks
Kickapoo has always been a childhood favourite for me growing up in Singapore, so I was delighted to relive those moments.
Unlike most Asian cafes, we had to wait longer than usual for our food, but when the plates did arrive, I just couldn't wait to dig in, with all that fantastic aroma coming from the coconut rice!
This looked like the real deal, with sides of ikan billis (fried anchioves), sambal, and a fried egg too. The rice was plump and filled with good flavour. The fact that it wasn't sticky was the sign that it is cooked perfectly. The ikan billis was cooked wonderfully with the crunch being felt with each bite taken. The sambal tasted close to that in Singapore, so I was definitely delighted!
Having it with the fried chicken strips was definitely the winner (in comparison to the curry chicken). The fried chicken was seasoned beautifully and because it was small trips, there was a good amount of crunch with each bite.
The curry chicken was tasty, and had a good flavour. I personally wouldn't order it again, but it was well worth the try.
The rendang was a.w.e.s.o.m.e. I had been told by AH to try this and what a great recommendation! Filled with lots and lots of desiccated coconut, and with meat that was so easy to chew because of how tender it was, the rendang was a sheer winner dish this afternoon!
The kailan was average… it was really to fulfill the 'completeness' of a meal with some vegetables, more than anything.
Rice Noodle House is definitely a force to be reckoned with, especially with its killer nasi lemak and rendang!
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (based purely on food)

Weak TV ratings helping Netflix to some degree
(7:04 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Weak ratings at some broadcast-TV networks have helped Netflix Inc. NFLX, -1.39% in its efforts to license TV-show content, Chief Executive Reed Hastings said Tuesday during the company's earnings call. Hastings said that a variety of factors have helped it to acquire content. One is that, in some cases, programmers want to pick up more revenue from online video licensing to offset the dollars that will be lost when networks have to compensate advertisers for shows that didn't deliver on the ratings that were promised. With the exception of NBC CMCSA, -0.80% each of the Big Four broadcast networks have seen double-digit ratings declines during the first few weeks of the 2012-13 TV season.
Netflix CEO: No plans to raise streaming prices
(6:36 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Netflix Inc. NFLX, -1.39% Chief Executive Reed Hastings said Tuesday that the company has no plans to raise the $7.99 basic subscription cost for its online streaming service. On the Netflix earnings call, Hastings said the company remains satisfied with the current price structure. Netflix's public reputation is still recovering from the negative impact of a 60% price hike in July 2011; Hastings reiterated that the company does not expect to get back to the highly positive perception it once enjoyed until 2014, though the situation is improving.
Netflix CEO: Amazon having no material impact
(6:29 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Netflix Inc. NFLX, -1.39% Chief Executive Reed Hastings said Tuesday that despite the company's reduced U.S. streaming-subscriber forecast, there is no evidence that online retail giant Amazon AMZN, +1.25% is having a material impact on its streaming growth. Hastings, speaking during a conference call following the company's release of third-quarter results, said that it is probable that eventually, U.S. customers will stream TV shows and movies from both Netflix and Amazon. So far, he added, Netflix's customers "haven't shown a lot of interest in competitors who have a significant subset of our content."
Facebook says revenue from Zynga declining
(5:45 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Facebook Inc. FB, +0.83% said its revenue from its relationship with online gaming company Zynga Inc. ZNGA, +0.41% slipped to 7% of its total revenue in the third quarter, compared with 10% in the second quarter, and 12% in the third quarter of last year. Shares of Zynga were up 3% in after-hours trading. The stock shed more than 5% in regular trading, and has dropped more than 75% year-to-date. Shares of Facebook were up 10% after-hours. Zynga reports its own third-quarter results on Wednesday afternoon. The company is expected to detail cost-reduction plans, though some media outlets were reporting layoffs at the company on Tuesday afternoon.
Competition could be hurting Netflix: analyst
(5:23 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Netflix Inc.'s NFLX, -1.39% latest domestic streaming subscriber forecast, which fell short of many analysts' expectations, probably reflects increased competition in the online video space, an analyst said Tuesday following the company's release of third-quarter results. "I continue to believe that increasing competition and ubiquitous content will drive consumers to look at other options," said Eric Wold, an analyst at B. Riley & Co., in an e-mail. He added that the company has at least $5 billion committed to content acquisition, and is likely to spend an increasing amount of money on original programming. Such costs pose "a risk to the entire business model," he remarked. After the market closed Tuesday, Netflix said it now expects to end 2012 with 26.4 million to 27.1 million streaming subscribers, representing a gain of between 4.7 million and 5.4 million customers for the year. Previously, Netflix had said it could achieve a full-year gain of 7 million, but only if it could hit the high end of expectations.
Panera Bread shares rise on tasty 2013 outlook
(5:02 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Panera Bread PNRA, -2.37% late Tuesday exceeded Wall Street's financial targets for the third quarter and issued upbeat financial projections for next year, sending its shares up 5% to $169.49 in late trades. Panera's third-quarter report contrasts with other high-growth restaurant chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill CMG, -0.25% and Buffalo Wild Wings BWLD, -0.54% who disappointed investors with their recent results. Panera posted a profit of $37 million, or $1.24 a share, up from $29 million, or 97 cents a share, in the same 2011 period. Revenue climbed 17% to $529 million, while same-store sales increased 6.2%. Analysts had expected Panera to earn $1.19 a share on same-store sales growth of 5.5%, FactSet data shows. For 2013, Panera said it would earn as much as $7 a share. Analysts are looking for $6.90. Panera shares are up 13% so far this year.
Netflix shares drop after streaming forecast
(4:48 PM ET) CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of online video provider Netflix Inc. NFLX, -1.39% declined 15% in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company issued a U.S. streaming-subscriber forecast that disappointed some investors. Netflix, which ended the third quarter with 25.1 million domestic streaming customers, said it now expects to end 2012 with 26.4 million to 27.1 million streaming subscribers, representing a gain of between 4.7 million and 5.4 million customers for the year. Previously, Netflix had said it could achieve a full-year gain of 7 million, but only if it could hit the high end of expectations. Netflix also said it anticipates anywhere from a loss of $13 million to a profit of $2 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting its expansion into Finland, Denmark and Sweden. For the third quarter, Netflix said it earned $8 million, or 13 cents a share, compared with a profit of $62 million, or $1.16 a share, in the same period a year ago. The 88% decline reflects greater subscriber-acquisition costs, as well as expenses related to the company's international expansion. Revenue rose to $905 million from $822 million. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting a profit of 5 cents a share on revenue of $904.4 million.
Facebook up 8% after hours as ad revenues surge
(4:45 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Shares of Facebook Inc. FB, +0.83% jumped 8% late Tuesday after the social networking giant posted results that modestly beat Street expectations. Facebook reported an adjusted profit of 12 cents a share, on revenue of $1.26 billion, compared with Wall Street's consensus expectation for an adjusted profit of 12 cents a share, on revenue of $1.23 billon. Susquehanna analyst Herman Leung noted that Facebook also reported a 36% gain in advertising revenue which he said was "much better than what the Street had expected."
Tempur-Pedic shares crushed on forecast
(4:37 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) --- Price competition continues to hammer bed-mattress maker Tepur-Pedic TPX, +1.65% which is in the process of buying its smaller rival Sealy ZZ Tempur-Pedic late Tuesday cuts its 2012 profit forecast, driving its shares down 15% to $26.90 in after-hours trade. The company said it would earn $2.55 a share, below the $2.80 a share analysts were looking for. During the third quarter, Tepur-Pedic said global mattress sales fell 11% and 15% in North America. Gross margin fell to 49.2% from 52.4% in the same 2011 quarter. Tepur-Pedic swung to a loss of $2 million, or 3 cents a share, from a profit of $62 million, or 90 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Excluding charges, the company said it earned 70 cents a share.
Amgen net doubles on across-the-board growth
(4:29 PM ET) LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) Amgen Inc. AMGN, -0.21% said Tuesday that third-quarter net income was $1.11 billion, or $1.41 a share, compared with $454 million, or 50 cents a share, for the same period a year ago. Reporting after the close, the Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based biotechnology giant said sales for the quarter were $4.32 billion against last year's $3.94 billion. The company said adjusted earnings were $1.67 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected the company to earn $1.47 a share on sales of $4.24 billion. The company said it now expects full-year earnings to end up between $6.50 and $6.60 a share, up from the FactSet estimate of $6.33 a share. Amgen was down marginally amid a broad market sell-off and shares ended the day at $87.32.
C.H. Robinson Q3 profit, revenue below estimates
(4:29 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- C.H. Robinson Inc. reported late Tuesday third-quarter earnings that came in short of analyst estimates, even as revenue climbed 6.9% from a year ago.

Robinson traded 0.8% lower in after-hours dealings, following a close at $60.98 ahead of the news.

(4:29 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Broadcom Corp. BRCM, -0.22% on Tuesday reported a third-quarter profit of $220 million, or 38 cents a share, on revenue of $2.13 billion, compared with earnings of $270 million, or 48 cents a share, on sales of $1.96 billion, in the same period a year ago. Excluding one-time items, Broadcom would have earned $476 million, or 79 cents a share.

(4:19 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Facebook Inc.

The collaborative efforts of healthcare's senior executives are contributing to the effective transition from paper to digital patient records. Building on this synergy, HIMSS has introduced the Healthcare Transformation Project to develop a committed community of healthcare provider senior leaders dedicated to positively transforming the quality, safety, cost-effectiveness and access to care at the local level. This interactive and innovative forum, with peer-to-peer discussion and debate, will be held from Nov. 14-16, at the PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
"Thanks to our research with C-suite leaders, we know they look for programs with actionable knowledgeable and tangible deliverables they can apply to their own healthcare settings," said H. Stephen Lieber, HIMSS president and CEO. "Healthcare Transformation Project provides those benefits by bringing together like-minded executives to learn more about best practices, develop collaborations to enhance their organizations and communities, and most importantly, commit to action."
Healthcare Transformation Project offers year-round engagement with networking, community, events and research. In addition to the annual forum in November, members of the community will meet through virtual events and at HIMSS13 in New Orleans from March 3-7, 2013. Research released to the community through June 2013 will look at "IT's Impact on Organizational Culture," with a report scheduled for release at the November gathering.
In November, participants will hear from and work with Ken Jennings, of ThirdRiver Partners, during a Meaningful Discussions Workshop with peer conversation and action plan development. Jennings is a healthcare strategist and futurist, and the author of two books, The Greater Goal and Changing Health Care.
"We know senior executives love learning from each other and rarely have a chance to sit with their colleagues – a chance to learn from peers," said Lieber. "At this first gathering of Healthcare Transformation Project, these C-suite leaders will have a unique chance to hear from others who are struggling with the same strategic questions. Then, they will be able to see how their peers address the situation, while at the same, try out their own ideas in a safe and energetic environment."
At the forum, each member of this senior executive community can create a Commitment to Action by developing a plan of specific and measureable steps addressing an important challenge facing that individual's health organization, stakeholder group or community. Supported by information technology, each action is driven by a guiding principle of transforming healthcare on a micro level, and it must be new, specific and measurable. Jennings explained that participants will leave at the close of forum with a concrete plan anchored with the challenges identified at HTP and actionable when they get home.

The CircPlus™ Vein Procedure Compression System meets the needs of both
pre-procedure and post-procedure compression with an easy to use design.
Give them a choice.
The CircPlus™ Vein Procedure Compression System consists of a Compression Capri Pant and one pair of Knee-High 30-40 mmHg compression stockings, offering an alternative approach to traditional thigh-high compression stockings. By separating the traditional stocking into individual components, your patient is able to utilize the components independently as needed. The CircPlus™ Vein Procedure Compression System meets the needs of both pre-procedure and post-procedure compression.
Comfort Capri™ is the preferred choice.
A pilot study was conducted in July of 2011 by Dr. Mauriello at the Cardiovascular and Vein Center of Florida to determine the suitability of the Comfort Capri™ as a compression device following great saphenous vein (GSV) ablation procedures. This small study suggest a strong trend towards patients preferring the Comfort Capri™ for compression therapy instead of thigh-high elastic compression stockings after GSV ablation treatment.

Back when I worked at Bell Labs, we brought in a candidate for an opening on our database team. Upon reviewing his resume, I couldn't understand why my interview team had selected him for an interview. The guy had no relevant experience and his degree was in chemistry, not computer science. Well, it turns out that he had put "Klingon" on his resume as a foreign language in which he was fluent. (Klingons are a warrior race in the 24th century, kind of a cross between an iguana and Dick Cheney).
My team simply couldn't resist interviewing someone who knew what "Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam" meant.
Not surprisingly, when the man discovered why he had been invited in, the interview went south. He was visibly upset and as he was leaving, he scowled at my team leader and said "Your mother has a smooth forehead!" Although he said it in English, I learned later that this was considered the worst possible insult a Klingon could utter. Fortunately, he didn't have a Bat'leth on him.

Duncan Aviation Awarded "Multiple Aircraft Type" STC for RAAS Certification with Optional RAAS "Inhibit" Button
November, 2004
LINCOLN, NEB. — Duncan Aviation has been awarded a "multiple aircraft type" STC certification for Honeywell's Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) system that allows Duncan Aviation to install Honeywell's RAAS system on aircraft equipped with a Honeywell's Mark V or Mark VII EGPWS systems. This STC includes the option for an "inhibit" annunciator switch that allows flight crews to mute RAAS warnings for 30, 60 or 90 seconds. When the customer-specified time-delay expires, the RAAS system automatically resumes issuing audible warnings. Duncan Aviation was the first to perform the RAAS installation and was awarded STC certification on a Gulfstream GIV.
Under the "multiple" certification, aircraft types are easily added to the STC by inserting the new aircraft type into the Aircraft Model List (AML). The STC documents are FAA-approved by Duncan Aviation by a Memorandum of Agreement that greatly reduces the time requred for additional certification approvals.
"We are excited to hold the blanket RAAS certification," says John Slieter, Vice President of Duncan Aviation Avionics Modifications Sales. "We believe the safety and situational awareness gains resulting from RAAS are something no flight crew should be without."
"The RAAS inhibit feature is one many flight crews have requested and we are pleased to be the first to offer it," says Steve Elofson, Duncan Aviation salesperson. "This single button inhibit removes reservations many flight crews have had about adding the safety of RAAS to their cockpit."
Honeywell's (RAAS) provides improved situational awareness to help lower the probability of runway incursions by providing timely aural advisories to the flight crew during taxi, takeoff, final approach, landing and rollout. RAAS is a software (and wiring change depending on original installation) upgrade to existing Mk V and Mk VII EGPWS computers. Using GPS data, RAAS issues advisories based on aircraft position when compared to airport locations stored in the EGPWS Runway Database.
Duncan Aviation is an aircraft service provider with 1,800 employees supporting the aviation needs of government and business operators and other service providers. These services include airframe, engine, avionics installations, interior and paint completions/modifications, avionics/instrument and accessory/propeller repair/overhaul and parts support. Complete service facilities are located in Lincoln, Neb., and Battle Creek, Mich. Additional locations include 21 satellite avionics facilities located throughout the United States, 20 government C-23 contract locations, a line service/regional support operation in Kalamazoo, Mich., and Lincoln-based AVPAC, a division that sells and consigns general aviation parts to aircraft operators and service organizations worldwide.

Palit GTX780 Ti Jetstream Review
Up Close
Published: 6th December 2013 | Source: Palit | Price: est. £549 |
Up Close
The Jetstream cooler boasts two 80mm fans either side of the 90mm central one, with the two outer ones rotating anti-clockwise whilst the central fan spins clockwise. Coupling this to the fan design which promises higher air pressure, then the Jetstream certainly lives up to its grandiose moniker.
The shroud is, if anything, surprisingly plasticky once you get away from the bronze-effect that surrounds the central fan. If anything it actually feels and looks cheaper than the reference cooler. We're so used to cards with swathes of brushed aluminium that to find one so unapologetically plastic feels slightly strange.
The card comes with 8 phase PWM which should give 30% extra current capacity over the reference model, which can only lead to higher clock speeds. Otherwise it's business as usual with two 8pin PCIe power inputs and the outputs handled by a DisplayPort, an HDMI and two DVIs. It's nice to see black DVI ports. A small thing, but it's a nice change from the white/blue/yellow standard offerings.

The Baltimore Bayhawks clashed with the Rochester Rattlers tonight in Ravens Stadium before an announced crowd of 3, 625 fans. Baltimore jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back as they defeated the Rattlers 13- 10. The sloppy play and small fan attendance can be somewhat attributed to the constant downpour throughout the afternoon and evening making for a somewhat low scoring game. Both teams went extremely hard and it turned out to be a rather exciting game considering it was opening night for both squads. Read on for the full story.
After jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead, primarily due to some tough Baltimore defense, Rochester finally got on the board when a dodging Jake Bergey found Josh Coffman cutting across the top of the goal. Coffman never stopped running and found the net with a lefty crank from out front. Aside from several back and forth goals, the 1st half was filled with sloppy, slow play contributing to a somewhat low scoring first half. With the score at 5-2, each team split the final two goals of the half with Rochester striking first. There was a huge scramble right in front of the net and Matt Hahn found himself alone on the crease with the ball right at his feet. Without being touched, Hahn picked up the ball and tossed it in right over goalie Greg Cattrano.
The final score of the first half came off of a stupid play by Rochester defenseman Ryan Mollet. While middie Paul Cantabene was lying on the ground, Mollet took a wind up slash connecting with the Bayhawk's shoulder sending flags flying from all over. Rochester ended up one man down for two minutes as Mollet was called for both unsportsmanlike conduct and slashing. After several failed attempts, Baltimore finally got what they were looking for as Tom Marechek scored a wide open goal right on the crease. Goalie Brian Dougherty was out of the net fighting with Sean Radebaugh over a loose ball at x, when Radebaugh scooped up the ball and made one easy move to the other side of the net. With Dougherty sprinting to get back in the goal, Radebaugh hit the alone Marechek as Baltimore made it 6-3 at half.
The second half opened up all Rochester with some quality defense and an opening double pipe goal from middie Craig Kahoun. Tim Soudan closed the gap to 6-5 Baltimore, as Rochester looked like they were going to make it a close one. Charlie Lockwood caught a clearing pass and took it down the length of the field drawing the Baltimore defense's attention. Lockwood tossed it back to the trailing Soudan who found the back of the net on a nice underhand rip with his foot on the two- point line. Baltimore struck right back however, scoring two goals off of the ensuing face- offs. Cantabene took a huge hit at the midfield line but somehow managed to hold onto the ball. Getting to his feet he saw a streaking Josh Sims and fed him on the run. Sims made one move and scored on a righty high to high shot from out top on the un- even break. Baltimore up 8-5.
The end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarters saw the Bayhawks finally gather their composure and begin playing as they were in the first half. With the lead up to 12-6, Tim Soudan again kept Rochester in it with a righty dodge from out top. Soudan split two d- men with an overhead swim move and found the goal with around ten minutes left to play. The Rattlers would go on to score the next three goals with Soudan finding Craig Kahoun to make it 12-8. Soudan was dodging lefty out top when he rolled and saw Kahoun cutting towards the net. Kahoun made a nice move as he dove across the goal righty firing a one handed shot past Catranno.
The Rattlers' final attempt at closing the gap came off of some pretty ball movement around the outside of the goal eventually finding Josh Coffman cutting lefty from behind the goal. There was little the keeper could do as Coffman was wide open for the easy put in. With the momentum shifting towards Rochester for the comeback, Baltimore again tightened up on defense making a steady offense difficult to run. The nail in the coffin came off of what was an amazing Dougherty save just when Rochester was making their comeback. The ball fell right at his feet but Dougherty was unable to spot it until a wide open Marechek picked it up standing right on the crease. Marechek threw it into the goal as he was pushed to the ground, scoring the game's final goal with two minutes left. Final score 13-10.

Support for NBA's First Openly Gay Player
As Brooklyn Nets fans gathered at the Barclays Center for the first round of play-off games, several paused to reflect on the day's little piece of history: an active professional athlete, in one of the world's most popular sports, came out as openly gay.
Jason Collins, a 12-year veteran, published an essay in Sports Illustrated, explaining his identity, his reasons for keeping his sexual orientation secret, and for coming out.
"I've endured years of misery and gone to enormous lengths to live a lie. I was certain that my world would fall apart if anyone knew," Collins wrote. "And yet when I acknowledged my sexuality I felt whole for the first time. I still had the same sense of humor, I still had the same mannerisms and my friends still had my back."
Brooklyn Nets fans were unstinting in their praise for Collins, almost all of them commending him for being courageous.
"This is today's life, and everybody has a choice, and they should be able to live as they please," said Warren Hazel, a New York City Transit worker from Old Mill Basin, Brooklyn.
Montclair State student Kyle Tompkins says he was a big fan of the Nets growing up, and he supports Collins.
"I think it's a bold move. I'm not surprised that there's gay athletes, but I give him a lot of credit to come out, because he's going to take a lot of criticism," he said.
In his essay, Collins says he doesn't mind if fans heckle him because he's been booed before.
He ha has played for six teams throughout his career, most recently as a reserve with the Washington Wizards. Collins is now a free agent and wants to keep playing in the NBA.

Paper Shredder Danger
Household paper shredders can pose a danger to children and pets.
[Collected via e-mail, 2006]
This one comes from a well respected Borzoi person, and veterinarian, Elizabeth A Coney, DVM of Kentucky.
She wrote:
Now - for every one of you that has a home paper shredder with an "auto on" feature, I want you to go turn it off and unplug the paper shredder right now.
Because night before last I was presented with a paper shredder containing most of the tongue, ripped out by the base, and a very pretty sweet
1 1/2 year
old lab cross whose owners euthanized her.
She always watched the paper go into the shredder, she thought it fascinating. The "auto on" feature means the shredder sits there waiting for something to get placed into it. Like an inquisitive tongue.
I told them, "Dogs can do fine without a tongue, they have to learn to drink and eat differently", but the owners didn't want to go there. The look in her eyes said, "I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't supposed to do that, it's all my fault". We all cried.
I cried when I read this, myself. In subsequent posts Beth says she has learned that dogs who have lost more than half their tongues *don't* do as well as she had been taught. According to the veterinary literature it is also possible for animals to be injured other places than
tongues — a
Basset lost an ear, a long-haired cat most of the skin on its side, a kitten a foot, etc.
She didn't mention any human injuries, but I can't imagine that a toddler would be immune from either curiosity or injury.
Please be vigilant!! This is not the 1st time I have heard of this happening.
While Barbara and I were away from home for a few days recently, we received a playful
message from our petsitter informing us that our house was "haunted." She'd
dropped by to tend to our cats, she said, when suddenly she heard the sound of a paper shredder running in Barbara's office. Nobody else was in the house, and she quickly ruled out the possibility that one of our kittens had accidentally started the shredder because they were all dancing around her feet in the kitchen at the time, impatiently waiting to be fed. The incident was even more puzzling because we're pretty careful about always leaving our shredder in the "Off" setting when we're not using it, and even when the device is powered on, it doesn't activate until a piece of paper is fed into it. We never did solve the mystery, although we're pretty sure it's not related to a haunting.
In any case, the experience reminded us that we (like many other people) now have in our home a variety of machines that once were typically found only in business offices. Although some people manage to find ways to injure themselves with just about anything (even something as seemingly innocuous as a fax machine), paper shredders can pose an especial hazard — they're made to destroy documents rather than generate them, and (due in large part to concerns about identity theft) more and more of them are being purchased for home use, where their shredding blades represent a risk not just to careless adults, but to curious children and inquisitive pets as well.
In 2005, for example, the
Spokesman Review
[T]he U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says shredders — $350 million worth were sold [in 2004] and many wound up in homes — pose a growing threat of injury to children, particularly toddlers.
The agency received 31 reports involving finger amputations and other finger injuries from paper shredders from January 2000 to December 2003.
It isn't difficult to find harrowing reports of children being seriously injured through sticking their fingers into shredders, such as the following account from
Consumer Reports
Lisa Broadfoot's son, Talan, was helping her shred documents, when suddenly his little fingers got sucked in.
"He screamed and then was begging me to get his hands out of this machine, 'Please Mommy, Please Mommy, get my hand out.' [He was] just screaming and crying and begging," Broadfoot said.
Lisa rushed Talan to the hospital with the shredder still attached.
"They started cutting the blades because there was no other way to get his fingers undone," she said. "It was like he could feel it. He just started screaming again and I'm holding him and trying to explain to him that it's going to be OK. It's going to be OK."
Talan ended up losing three of his fingers.
In March 2006, TV's
Inside Edition
reported a similar case of injury to a child:
When you meet Hallie Mouritsen, you cant tell that there's anything wrong with this beautiful five year-old girl. But if you look closer at Hallie's left hand, her fingers are cut off at the knuckle. The doctor described them as being "crushed, mutilated and non-viable."
How did it happen? Hallie was feeding paper into a shredder in her home when her fingers got caught in its powerful blades. According to her father, Matt, "it grabbed her fingers and just began pulling."
And Hallie's not the only one. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a safety alert after receiving
50 reports
of injuries from paper shredders since 2000, most involving children younger than five.
Mr. Mouritsen is an accounting professor in Salt Lake City, Utah who often works at home. He says he had just opened the shredder for the first time and after using it, left the room briefly. Hallie, who was just two, went into the room with her older sister.
"The next thing I know, while I'm making dinner, my five year-old is yelling, she's stuck, she's stuck!" he told Inside Edition's Investigative Reporter Matt Meagher.
Hallie's wounds took months to heal. Her dad still chokes up remembering Hallie's reaction the day the bandages came off. "She went like this with her hand" (hiding his left hand). "She couldn't even look at it. She asks us to this day, when are my fingers going to grow back?"
Among household pets, dogs are particularly at risk from shredders, as they have a tendency to lick things, and many breeds have long, floppy ears that can get caught in shredder openers. The
Spokesman Review
published an account of an incident in which a puppy suffered injuries from a paper shredder so severe that she was euthanized afterwards (and her owner lost a portion of one finger trying to rescue her):
Adam Forney doesn't even own a paper shredder.
And he probably never will.
The 22-year-old was sitting on his couch in his south Spokane home watching television when his
puppy licked the top of his roommate's shredder and the dog's tongue was sucked into the shredding mechanism.
"I ran into the room ... she was pulling so hard and the thing was
dragging ...
then she just ripped away," Forney said. "I will never forget the sound it made when she pulled away."
In the chaos of trying to help his injured dog, Forney's pinky finger was bitten off at the first joint, and another finger was fractured by the bite.
"I grabbed her head to try and get her to calm down, and she bit me," Forney said. "She ran out of the room and I just lost it. It looked like a murder scene in my
house ...
there was so much blood."
Forney went to the emergency room, and his mixed-breed dog, Alice Lane, went to a local pet emergency clinic, where she was euthanized.
Inside Edition
offered a similar tale of a young dog's catching his tongue in a shredder:
A number of pets have also been injured by shredders.
For one dog owner, it was a horrifying experience. Sandra Clarke of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina told us when she was at home working on
March 1st,
her curious puppy, Cross, caught his tongue in a shredder. According to Sandra, it was not a pretty sight. "It looked like hamburger meat. It was shredded up about an inch. There was blood everywhere."
A large part of the problem is that since shredders were originally designed as business equipment for offices (where they would presumably be
used only by adults), many models did not have the kinds of safeguards built into them to provide adequate protection in household environments, where children and animals abound. Although consumer safety groups are working to get manufacturers and lawmakers to adopt more stringent safety standards for shredders (such as making paper slots thinner and placing blades farther away from openings), the adoption of new standards takes time, and plenty of the machines already have been purchased for home use.
Some veterinarians maintain that serious shredder accidents involving animals are rare, but the frequency of occurrence is difficult to estimate since there has not been any systematic effort to keep track of such injuries. Regardless, the subject merits attention since the potential for accidents (involving both people and pets) will likely continue to grow as more and more shredders make their way into households, and the likelihood of injury can be mostly eliminated by following a few simple precautions:
Try to place your shredder where it is not accessible to children or pets.
Turn off (or unplug) your shredder when you are not using it.
Never allow children to operate your shredder, even with adult supervision.
Keep your hands and fingers as far from the shredder opening as possible when feeding material into it.
Be careful to secure or remove ties, necklaces, bracelets, loose-fitting clothing, and long hair before using your shredder.
Avoid putting thicker material (such as food wrappers, product packaging, and padded envelopes) through your shredder.
