Perl Success Story: Perl Helps Heal Swiss Hospital's Database Migration Pain
by Todd Mezzulo
After using an Ingres ARUNA database for ten years, the pathology laboratory at the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland decided it was time to replace their software with a more open Oracle DIAMIC package. No easy task for a facility which handles over 50,000 lab samples per year and is charged with managing the medical records of 500,000 patients. No easy task that is, unless you know Perl.
Here's Marc-Henri Poget's story about how Perl enabled him to work around some messy stuff and simplify the migration from an Ingres to an Oracle Database.
Using Perl to Migrate Medical Data From an Ingres to an Oracle Database
The University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland, is an 850 bed hospital which serves the needs of the 600,000 people living in the French speaking part of Switzerland. The pathology laboratory information system, used by 80 people, handles 50,000 samples per year.
By 2000, the ARUNA software package had been in use in the laboratory for a decade. The need arose to replace it with a package that was more open and had the ability to evolve. In September 2001, the project aimed at replacing ARUNA with the new DIAMIC software package began. As pathologists rely heavily on previous results for their diagnosis, the ARUNA database held more than 20 years of medical data on-line, some data even coming from systems older than ARUNA. This posed a unique challenge of migrating the Ingres ARUNA database into the Oracle DIAMIC database.
The vendor of DIAMIC proposed the following migration strategy. First, an Oracle database with the same structure as the original Ingres ARUNA database is created. Then, flat files are extracted from the Ingres database and fed into the Oracle ARUNA database. Finally, the vendor develops an application to migrate the data from the Oracle ARUNA to the Oracle DIAMIC database.
To support this strategy, the vendor proposed extracting the flat files from the Ingres ARUNA database using Excel and ODBC. This method facilitated processing the lines to modify their format (for instance to remove the non-significant blanks). The last step was to import these files in the Oracle ARUNA, using a tool written by the vendor, which provides bulk load capabilities. The major drawbacks of this approach are the following:
- Both Ingres and Oracle databases are on Unix machines; it doesn't make sense to use Windows apps as a gateway.
- Excel doesn't allow the extraction and handling of very large files from the Ingres database (they contains about half a million of patients).
- In our computer department, we already have experience using SQL Loader from Oracle for bulk loads, so it seemed more natural to use that rather than the vendor's tool.
- An additional issue that the vendor's solution doesn't address is how to ensure that the Oracle ARUNA databases� tables have exactly the same structure as the Ingres ARUNA databases.
To overcome the above-mentioned problems, I chose to work entirely on the Unix platforms and to develop Perl scripts for the necessary tasks.
I used an Ingres utility to generate the DDL (Data Definition Language) SQL statements that were used to create the Ingres tables. I then wrote the Perl "DDL Generation Script" to produce the SQL statements for generating the Oracle ARUNA database using the Oracle SQL Plus utility. This script performs mapping between some data types only found in Ingres into their Oracle equivalents. In order to enhance consistency when using SQL Loader, the script also produces the control files that direct SQL Loader's operations.
Ingres only provides a way to export a whole table as a flat file, but I prefer being able to extract the data in several steps. For this reason, I chose to install DBI and the Ingres DBD, so that I could write the Perl "Extract script". The script receives the extraction criteria from its command line and it performs the required data formatting on the output files.
Using both the above-mentioned Perl scripts and the DBI interface, I've been able to carbon copy an Ingres database into an Oracle database having the same structure. This approach has allowed me to transfer the 500,000 patients and their associated medical records between the two databases in a few hours.
Marc-Henri Poget is a project manager in the computer department of the University Hospital of Lausanne, Switzerland. He holds a degree in software engineering from the Swiss Institute of Technology (www.epfl.ch) as well as an MBA. He was instrumental in the deployment of DIAMIC, a software package used in the pathology laboratory. His interests include project management, troubleshooting and open source software.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
The signs of pregnancy vary from woman to woman. Usually the most obvious sign is the absence of menstruation (amenorrhea). However, some women continue to have bleeding even while pregnant. The following are the most common initial signs of pregnancy. However, each woman may experience the signs of pregnancy differently. These may include:
Sore and swollen breasts
Nausea or vomiting (also called morning sickness)
Frequent urination
Certain food cravings or aversions
Bloating of the abdomen
Darkening of the skin around the nipples (also called the areola).
These early signs may not positively indicate pregnancy, but may actually signal another process occurring within the body. A pregnancy test can provide more accurate results.
Pregnancy is confirmed with a pregnancy test. A pregnancy test can be performed on either urine or blood. Pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG), a hormone produced by the placenta about 10 days after fertilization. Levels of the hCG hormone approximately double every two days during the first 60 days of pregnancy. Pregnancy tests that are performed using the woman's blood are done by a doctor and are usually performed to obtain a very early diagnosis of pregnancy or also to confirm an at-home pregnancy test. Blood tests are very accurate and can detect pregnancy by the second week after conception.
Women can conduct an at-home pregnancy test by testing a sample of urine about two weeks after conception, or about the time a period is due. Home pregnancy tests have become more accurate in the last decade. If the test is used correctly, most home pregnancy tests are 97 to 99 percent accurate.
Always consult your health care provider to confirm a positive at-home pregnancy test with a more reliable pregnancy test and physical examination. If your at-home pregnancy test results are negative, and you think you are pregnant, you should also consult your health care provider.

Though the decision must be upheld in higher courts, it stands as the first nail in the coffin of the current NCAA system — one that has seen Stanford thrive as a model athletic program.

I am a California boy, raised in McKinleyville, about an hour south of the Oregon border. Redwoods were all around me and just about every neighbor girl had a horse. It was a fairly ideal childhood.
Since I was 7-years-old I had planned to be a writer and I got into newspapers because I wanted to be a sports writer. And I was, until a U-2 spy plane flying out of Beale Air Force Base crashed into my first newsroom in Oroville. I stumbled out the smoking building, in shock, and wrote a story about it for the Sacramento Bee. I have basically been writing hard news ever since.
After working at daily newspapers in Chico, Marysville and Grass Valley, I came to the Monterey Bay in 2000 to lead the Register-Pajaronian in Watsonville. For such a little newspaper, it was a wild ride. We caught the mayor carousing on his wife, exposed the Latino Chamber of Commerce as a phony enterprise, and generally raised a lot of questions about a city that seems to constantly be the target of the county grand jury for its mismanagement of money and secret deals.
In 2012, I launched a new newspaper across the Monterey Bay, the Monterey Bay News & Views. I did it because I still believe in newspapers. Unfortunately, the venture failed, but it didn't alter my belief in newspapers.
Because people still read them and look to them as a legitimate, reliable news source. It's rare to see news on TV, despite three big 24-hour "news" channels on cable and the abundance of bloggers on the Internet do little more than spread rumor.
There is a lot of junk on the Internet — so much so that few people surf the same sites and see the same stuff. It's also a hassle to search for new sites. If somebody hands you a card with a website printed on it, how often will look up that site to see what is on it?
The Internet is an endless sea that one's message can drown in. There are few newspapers left — and they stick out. If somebody mails you a newspaper, or there is a free one sitting in a rack by the grocery store, most often you read at least some of it. Scanning through it is much easier that surfing through a web site looking for something. It's also a pleasant, tactile experience — a whole different appeal than surfing the web.
I look forward to being here. It's fitting that the deadline for this first edition I am involved with is on my birthday. I love newspapers and I believe a good community paper is essential to a well-informed and involved community. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve or story ideas, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Carly Rae Jepsen 's "Call Me Maybe" inspired lip sync videos by everyone from college swim teams to Justin Bieber , but there's a new one that may motivate the singer to show up at a school dance.
Saint Louis University High School junior Josh Ritter recorded his version of Carly's song from his wheelchair to invite the singer to the school's dance in May. Turns out the song was a big inspiration to Josh during his physical therapy sessions as he recovered from surgery to remove a large spinal tumor.
Filmed at the St. Louis Children's Hospital, the video starts like an action movie -- complete with dramatic theme music and a Star Wars type scroll detailing Josh's medical challenges. We learn that Josh was temporarily a paraplegic after the seven-hour spinal surgery, that after extensive therapy he's started walking and that "when the going got rough, one song energized" him.
In the video, Josh wheels through the hospital lip syncing as hospital staffers, administrators, visitors and the hospital's mascot join in and dance. During his big finish Josh walks up several stairs and signs off with a wink. On the video's YouTube page , Josh writes, "Carly Rae Jepsen, will you go to my dance with me? Maybe? My people will be in touch." He also provides an email address and a Twitter handle, should Carly want to reach out.

Delish Detector!- Russo's New York Pizzeria Gluten-Free Pizza
Calling all pizza lovers (including the gluten-intolerant)! Chef Anthony Russo, owner of Russo's New York Pizzeria and Russo's Coal Fired Italian Kitchen, is answering the prayers of all those who've been begging for an authentic pizza, fit for the gluten-intolerant. Russo has created a new line of gluten-free, all natural pizzas that can be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home.
With a variety of six different pizzas, including; NY Style Cheese, Greek, Margherita, Chicken Rustica, Mulberry and Pepperoni, Russo is aiming to please the palate of any pizza addict.
Being that I'm a vegetarian, I worked my way (quickly might I add), through the NY Style Cheese, Greek and Margherita pizzas. They are beyond delicious on so many levels. The mere fact that they were frozen pizzas prior to me eating wasn't even a thought in my mind. The flavors were spot on in the sweet tomato sauce. The crust was perfect and could fool anyone into thinking it was a regular wheat pizza.
The days of searching for perfect gluten-free frozen pizzas are over. Make your way over to Russo's to search for a store near you!

(Associated Press) Five employees of an Italian cruise company were convicted Saturday of manslaughter in the Costa Concordia shipwreck that killed 32 people, receiving sentences of less than three years that lawyers for victims and survivors criticized as too lenient.
The guilty verdicts for multiple manslaughter and negligence were the first reached in the sinking of the cruise liner carrying more than 4,000 crew and passengers near the Tuscan shore in January 2012.
The ship's captain, the only remaining defendant, was denied a plea bargain and is being tried separately. He faces up to 20 years, if convicted of manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning the ship.

RECIPE # 4734 BUTTERNUT SQUASH & HERB RISOTTO Friday Nov. 18, 2011
One medium butternut squash, cut into ½" cubes
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt to taste
Four cups chicken or veggie stock
Juice of one lemon
One medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup Arborio rice
2 tbs butter
1 tsp cumin
dash cinnamon
1 tbs each fresh sage and thyme, chopped (if using dried herbs, use ½ tbs each)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss squash with 2 tbs olive oil and spread onto baking sheet. Sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Roast in oven 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until squash is barely browned. Let cool. In the meantime, heat all the stock and lemon juice in a stock pot until warm. Do not allow to boil.Take half of the roasted squash cubes and puree in a blender, using ¾ cup of the stock to blend it completely. Set aside, along with the remaining squash cubes. Put butter and onion in a deep sauté pan over medium heat. Cook until onions are translucent, about five minutes. Add dry Arborio rice and stir, about three minutes. Add warm stock to the rice, about ½ cup at a time, and stir continuously. Add cumin and cinnamon. Do not allow rice to completely absorb the stock before adding more. All four cups of liquid will be used. Once all liquid is used, add the squash puree, thyme and sage. Continue stirring until risotto is desired al dente texture. Stir in reserved roasted cubes of squash and serve immediately.
Serves four. Enjoy! www.anorganicprocess.blogspot.com

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, March 22 (HealthDay News) -- The age of a live kidney
donor has little effect on the long-term health of a transplanted
kidney in recipients older than age 39, a new study says.
The findings should encourage more people to participate in
living donor paired-exchange programs ("kidney swaps"), said Dr.
John Gill, of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and
In kidney-swap programs, a donor whose kidney isn't compatible
with a loved one who needs a new kidney instead donates a kidney to
a stranger. In return, the donor's loved one receives a kidney from
someone else.
The researchers analyzed data from all adult kidney transplants
from living donors that were performed in the United States between
January 1988 and December 2003. Follow-ups continued through
September 2007.
The age of the kidney donors, which ranged from 18 to 64 years,
had minimal effect on the survival of transplanted kidneys in
recipients older than age 39. Recipients ages 18 to 39 benefited
the most when they received kidneys from donors in the same age
The study appears online March 22 in the
Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
"This information should help increase participation and efficiency of living donor paired-exchange programs because it alleviates patient concerns about receiving a kidney from an older-aged living donor," Gill said in a journal news release.
Nearly 90,000 people in the United States are waiting for a
kidney transplant, according to the release, and many will die
before a suitable kidney becomes available. Kidney-swap programs
help increase the donor pool.

Have patience Dolphins fans, the time for talk and speculation is about to come to an end. For almost 2 months we've heard 'expert' after 'expert' give their opinion on which quarterback the Dolphins will chase this offseason. First, when Joe Philbin was named Dolphins head coach, the immediate reaction was that the Dolphins would target Matt Flynn, the Green Bay backup. Then, the Manning to Miami movement started and fans started to warm up to the thought of Peyton Manning wearing aqua and orange. Most recently, Dolphins fans have fallen in love with Robert Griffin III. These are certainly not the only 3 QB options for the Dolphins, but they are the 3 that are most likely.
Each of the 3 quarterbacks mentioned above come at a cost and with a risk. Matt Flynn could cost his next team a sizeable contract and possibly draft pick compensation (2nd rounder?) if the Packers apply the Franchise Tag to him. Flynn has started only 2 NFL games and has looked good, but the sample size is small and he is inexperienced. Peyton Manning will only cost money, but he's not 100% healthy and may never be again. Reports indicate that he's further along in his recovery than some have let on, but if the Dolphins want to sign him, they'll have to do it before they know for sure that he'll be the Peyton of old. RG3 would cost the Dolphins as much as 2 first round picks, a second round pick, and possibly more. RG3 has amazing talents, but is unproven and inexperienced at the NFL level.

A published report indicates more than 6,200 Illinois state government workers took home compensation of more than $100,000 in 2012.
GateHouse Media Illinois newspapers reported this weekend that 8% of the state's workforce topped $100,000 in compensation last year. That's about 17% of a $4.5 billion payroll.
The analysis looked at all compensation - including overtime pay. The review did not include thousands of university employees.
It found that the number of workers taking home more than $100,000 grew by 1,100 in 2012.
The top earner among the data reviewed was Robert Rupnik. He is chief investment officer for the Teachers' Retirement System. His compensation was $357,000 in 2012.
Gov. Pat Quinn's salary was $177,000 - good for 687th place.

CROPSEYVILLE, N.Y. -- In August, the rescue of 367 dogs from a multi-state dog fighting ring made national headlines, and one local rescue is helping the animals get a second chance at a happy life.
Auburn Police initiated the three year investigation that spanned Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Texas. Thirteen search warrants were executed on August 23, and 10 suspects were arrested and indicted on felony dog fighting charges.
"We are an ASPCA response partner, so when they have a large number of animals from a disaster or a criminal case they will contact us," said Melinda Plasse, who runs the non-profit animal rescue The Animal Support Project in Cropseyville.
Plasse was one of the 350 responders from 28 animal welfare agencies to help support the ASPCA after the raid.
"It is sad it is very sad because these dogs are very good dogs by nature are very kind, a pit bull is meant to be kind to humans," she said, adding that often the dogs simply do what humans lead them to do because they just want to please their owners.
The animals, who she says had obvious signs of abuse, were transported to many different states for holding while the investigation continues. Plasse and her crew of 50 volunteers are donating their time and training to the dogs housed at undisclosed locations in our state. Their main goal is to rehabilitate these dogs in hopes of giving them a second chance at life.
"Our job is to just keep them healthy and happy and sane until the court decides where they will go," she said.
According to the ASPCA, the dogs ranged in age from just several days old to 12 years, and were discovered with "no visible fresh water or food."

Greg Rule
Chief Meteorologist
Email: email@example.com
I was fortunate to join the NewsChannel 5 Weather Team as the Chief Meteorologist in December of 2012. I earned my B.S. in meteorology with a minor in mathematics from Metro State University of Denver. While in school I interned with Mike Nelson at 7 News in Denver for two years, graduated in May of '11 and began my first job at KWES NewsWest9 in Midland, TX as the weekend meteorologist. I was there for 1 year until I saw KREX NewsChannel 5 was in need of a chief meteorologist and applied immediately to have the chance to forecast back in Colorado!
Spreading the knowledge of weather through visiting schools and speaking with students is something I have come to love doing, as well as meeting with the community and getting to know the people of the Western Slope. I strive to give accurate, educating and entertaining forecasts to all those who watch NewsChannel 5.
I have lived off and on in the cities of Denver, Breckenridge and Evergreen since 2000 and love the mountain lifestyle, the weather, and what the Colorado outdoors has to offer. You can catch me on my snowboard at Powderhorn Ski Resort during the weekends and near the lakes fishing and camping over the summer with my wife, Ronelle.

This is a handy little shower bag...not too big...not too small... I like the toughness of the fabric and the fact that the bottom is mesh so all the water just drains right through. The handle is off-set so it hangs on a shower handle - which tells me that somebody was really thinking.
The color (blue) was very vibrant and co-ordinated well with the Kelly green strap. Although I liked the color, and quality seemed sturdy, I did return it because the bag only had one strap and would not work well in the gym shower setting. I would consider purchasing this in the future if there was a new design with two straps.
Nice quality bag for the price. It works great for the gym shower. I place it on the shower handle and can easily grab out what I need. The water runs out the bottom and dries quickly. Like the design of the offset handle so it lays flat against the shower wall. Pockets are deep enough for a small shampoo bottle.
I love this for keeping my shower items separate from my swim items.
It only has one handle so a bit odd to carry. Also won't really stand up and anything tall in the pockets - like shampoo - falls out pretty easily. Wouldn't buy again. Really too big - something smaller to carry shower stuff would be fine.
It holds everything I need and doesn't add any more weight or bulk to may pool bag.
This item is sturdy and well made. I have not had a chance to use it yet but I do wish it were a bit deeper than it is. Loved the fact that there were color choices.....being a woman, I liked that fact! Thank you,
Excellent product. Durable and well built.
Well made. Perfect size. I added a large carabiner to the handle and now this bag will hang anywhere. Nice amount of pockets (1 small inside and 3 larger outside) and nice big center inside for full size shampoo/conditioner. It dries fast. Great product - would recommend and purchase again.
Love this little bag! The design makes it easy to hang on a shower hook in the locker room and doesn't matter if it gets wet (mesh material is somewhat water repellent and it dries quickly). I was always fumbling with tubes of shampoo, conditioner, etc, and they all fit nicely in this bag. Also good for lakeside, to carry spf products, etc. Can hang it on the dock posts or on a hook in the pontoon boat. There's a good color selection but wish they had even more bright colors.

Helen Langone, owner of Saltwater Canvas, was tired of always having to store her gym stuff in soggy grocery bags and rigid baskets, that's when she came up with the great idea of cylindrical mesh bags.
Cylindrical mesh bags are a clever invention that has been gaining widespread attention since it was first created and sold in 1991. The cylindrical mesh bags are perfect for the beach, gym, shower, or just about any water occasion. The weatherproof mesh bag has 4 pockets, including a specialized pocket for your razor, comb and toothbrush.
No more having to deal with slimy wet items with a mildew odor, because cylindrical mesh bags are custom designed to give you easy access to all your showery necessities.

People truly feel that they are totally single before the ring is placed on their ring finger. Doesn't mean a thing to them even if they have been part of a serious relationship for 3 years, if the ring isn't on they believe they have some type of freedom. This is where the saying THE LAST FLING BEFORE THE RING becomes a reality right before marriage. There is a controversial discussion to decide of this way of mind set is right or wrong. Have you put much thought into this?
Do you think it is right for a person to have a fling the day before they make the promise to be faithful? Or do you totally think it is wrong? Once you are in a relationship then you are already in a faithful partnership and there is no reason to have THE LAST FLING BEFORE THE RING type of mindset. For those that do have this view you should let your fiancé or fiancée know this about yourself, so there are no surprises right before the wedding. Good luck to each and every one of you for the decisions you make in regards to this situation.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton says he'll fight any effort by the Vikings to charge fans extra fees to buy season tickets in the new publicly subsidized football stadium.
In a sharply worded letter Tuesday, Dayton told team owner Zygi Wilf that he is distressed by reports the team may charge seat license fees to help generate a private contribution toward the stadium. Dayton says he will urge a public authority to block any such move.
The team is due to pay slightly more than half of the $975 million price tag. Dayton told Wilf that the contribution is the responsibility of team owners, not fans.
The governor has long pushed for what he calls a "People's Stadium." He says he won't let the result be a "Rich People's Stadium."

The Skin Saver: Rub it down
If you notice a small white bump near your eye, try using your ring finger to gently massage the area in a clockwise motion for a few nights in a row to help unclog the pore. If the bump becomes large and inflamed, see a dermatologist.

5 Ways to Better Serve Your Customer and Increase Your ValueJun 30, 2011 by Tomasz Jablonski
Everyone has their own tactics and techniques that they use to improve their customer service and to increase profits.
Here are my top 5 ways to better serve your customer and increase your business value.
The Small Details & Their MeaningJun 23, 2011 by Shaun Smylski
Some graphic elements say more than you may imagine.
The image to the left displays the colour blue. If I were to ask, "Does this image tell a story?" what would your answer be? It's just a solid colour and not a photograph. There is no depiction of actions or words to be read. The most that can be technically derived from the colour is its HEX value of #3B5998.
All Marketers Tell StoriesJun 21, 2011 by Shaun Smylski
In marketing, the job is to build a brand story that customers can believe and buy into. This is one of the lessons taught in Seth Godin's book "All Marketers
Are Liars Tell Stories."
As Godin explains, there is always a story that can be told. No one can say "there is no story" although how well you can tell a brand's story will determine how weak or strong it is.
While Godin covers a lot in his book, I'd like to focus on how consistency and design contribute to building a brand's story.
Google's New +1 ButtonJun 15, 2011 by Bryan Saunders
You might have noticed a new feature on our blog today, namely Google's new "+1 button."
Google's +1 button is a lot like Facebook's "Like" function or Twitter's "Tweet" button, but specific to Google.
The +1 button also looks to be Google's chance to finally successfully enter into the social media realm—especially after its other attempt at social media, Google Buzz, failed to launch.
You Are What You Buy (Even When It's A Gift For Someone Else)Jun 10, 2011 by Bryan Saunders
Recently, cognitive psychologist Dan Ariely conducted a study in which he gave participants designer sunglasses and told these participants that the sunglasses were either real or fake.
In fact, all of the sunglasses were real $300 designer sunglasses, but—for the sake of the study—Ariely lied and told half of the participants that the sunglasses were counterfeits.
The goal of the study, called "The Counterfeit Self: The Deceptive Costs of Faking It" was to see if wearing "counterfeit" products caused a change in the way that people acted vs wearing real designer products.
Brand Battle: Hugo Boss vs Christian Dior vs Calvin KleinJun 8, 2011 by Bryan Saunders
