Urology Fellowship
Fellowship in Minimally Urologic Surgery
The Division of Urology is dedicated to training the next generation of urologists through its Esta and Robert Epstein Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery.
Accredited by the Endourology Society and established in 2009 by Andrew A. Wagner, MD, Chief of Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery at BIDMC, this fellowship was the first such academic program in New England.
The fellowship program trains urologists in advanced techniques in minimally invasive urologic cancer surgery, and offers a wealth of opportunities for teaching and research. It is a unique training program, offering fellows exposure to several hundred laparoscopic and robotic surgery cases per year.
Fellows spend one to two years focusing on advanced surgical techniques (much of which is robotic kidney, prostate and bladder surgery) and conducting urologic research. Fellows also complete a seven-week intensive training program in clinical effectiveness (biostatistics, epidemiology, health outcomes) through the Harvard School of Public Health.
Fellows play a major role in teaching urology residents and medical students throughout the year in the operating room, the Carl J. Shapiro Simulation and Skills Center, outpatient clinics and didactic lectures.
Upon completion of the fellowship, fellows are well-prepared to establish minimally invasive urologic programs at other institutions, continuing BIDMC's tradition of innovative clinical care, teaching and research.
The fellowship is supported, in part, by a major gift from Esta and Robert Epstein as well as donations from grateful patients and others who are committed to Urology's educational mission.

The custom home builder has opened an office in Boerne, about 30 miles north of San Antonio, to serve customers who are purchasing land in large-lot communities in the region.
"About one-third of our Hill Country business comes from Houstonians who are building second homes or building with an eye toward retirement. This has been a very steady and sustained trend, and it is growing," Jim Lemming, president of Partners in Building, said in an announcement
Partners in Building has launched an expansion in Cordillera Ranch, a 7,000-acre resort-style community near Boerne. The company will build in The Springs neighborhood, the first section of Cordillera Ranch where builders will contract to purchase lots and sell homes directly to buyers.
The Cordillera Ranch development offers lots ranging from less than an acre to more than 12 acres in size.
The typical "build on your lot" home built in Cordillera Ranch by Partners in Building will contain about 4,000 square feet and be valued at $700,000, not including the land, Lemming said.
In The Springs at Cordillera Ranch, homes will be offered on lots measuring ¾ to 1 acre with prices starting around $600,000. That price includes the lots.
Partners in Building will build a model home and will have 16 home sites in the initial development, which will is planned to open in mid-2015.
Will Tucker, an area construction manager for Partners in Building since 2008, has been promoted to Hill Country Project Manager to oversee growth in the region. The company aims to tap into the demand for large lot communities opening along the U.S. 281 corridor from north San Antonio to Johnson City.
Partners in Building sold more than 200 homes in Houston and Austin last year.

Another Memory in California
November 2, 2015
I travel to California for work a lot. Not quite so often these days, but there was a period of about 2 years of my life where my client would joke that they just should just have bought me an apartment out there.
As I walked around with a coworker on my latest trip there, I remarked that both the hotel and the office I work at there were the backdrops to many fairly big work/life moments. I can remember standing by the window in the client's office as my awesome manager announced to me that he was leaving our firm after over a decade. I recall being told I had made consultant at our firm, and then promptly walking to the Nordstrom across the street to buy myself a congratulatory present (a big expensive ring I still wear daily). I remember standing by that same window a couple years later, feeling elated and a bit teary eyed while being told my bonus and raise information after a really successful year.
This trip was no different.
The one good thing about being sent for genetic counseling is that it also qualified me to have a special blood test, which tests for 3 various chromosomal abnormalities. It also is able to tell the sex of the baby. Right now our family has no idea that we even know; they all still think we are weeks away from finding out at the anatomy scan.
We had to wait a week for results, and I had to fill out a form that gave them permission to tell me the sex. I was very clear on the form - tell me, tell me now!! And yet, when I checked the voicemail left for me from the hospital....no sex.
Now, the good news is, the nurse left the really important information, which is that our baby is not at a higher risk for the 3 issues tested for.
That is awesome!
But...no sex?
I listened to the voicemail two more times.
No sex.
It was now 4:15pm EST. I frantically called the hospital, as well as my OB (who also gets a copy of the results), but to no avail. I was going to be in suspense for as long as it took someone to call me back. At close to closing time, I wasn't hopeful I was going to find out before the next day.
But then an hour later, while walking back to my hotel room with some lunch, my phone rang. I practically threw the food and everything I was carrying to the ground; I couldn't get to my cell phone fast enough.
Is this Karen?
Did you want to know the sex of your baby?
Congratulations...you are having a baby girl.
I responded with something which I'm sure didn't even sound like English, raced back to my hotel room, and called my husband. I just said over and over again, "It's a girl!"
The next day, after a long day of meetings with the client, as I was walking back to my hotel room, I passed by that same spot. I smiled to myself and thought, "And that's the walkway where I learned I was having a girl."
That California memory is my favorite.

Internet today is a place where you can find information on any topic from anywhere in the world. Internet is also fast becoming the most preferred medium for education and entertainment – recent reports suggest Internet is fast replacing television.
Surfing on the internet can be both fun as well as informative. But watch out, not everything on the internet is safe and fun. Internet can be a dangerous place if you do not take necessary precautions. There is a growing trend of identity theft on the internet, Is your personal information safe? What steps you can take to validate a website before you submit your personal information? Let's examine simple steps you can take to protect your identity online.
First thing you should do before you submit your personal information on any website is to look for their privacy policy, make sure they are committed to protect sensitive information. Look for a contact address and telephone number on the website – serious businesses always encourage you to contact them and have no reason to be secretive of their existence. Be wary of websites with no privacy policy or contact information.
One of the most popular ways to validate a business online is through the use of security certificates.
A security certificate is a statement that verifies the authenticity of a person or a business online. A private key is provided to owner of certificate using which he will create digital signatures – which basically works as a digital identity card. So when you visit any secure page (pages with https) digital ID card is sent to your computer. Security certificates encrypt your information and only the owner of the certificate is able to decrypt it through the unique private key provided to him by the security certificate. Therefore your personal information cannot be tampered.
There are two types of security certificate – personal security certificate and Web site security certificate. Personal security certificate authenticates you as what you say you are. This information is used when you send personal information via the Internet to a Web site that requires a certificate verifying your identity.
A web site security certificate authenticates web sites as genuine and secure. It also ensures no other web site can assume the identity of this particular web site. Ensure web site security certificate exists and is valid before you submit any personal information on the Internet. When you download software look for a certificate to ensure it is coming from a reliable source.
How do I keep those prying eyes out my computer?
List of things you can do to ensure your privacy is protect online.
- Make sure your turn Windows Firewall ON
- Install Anti-Virus software
- Validate Internet Web sites
- Do not open email messages from unidentified addresses
- Never post your email or contact information online or on chat rooms

Take A Stand Against Your Wrinkles With Botox In Kent
Dealing with lines and wrinkles in the skin is an issue that people have been fighting for generations with varying results. In recent years we've seen the rise of Botox injections, a non-surgical treatment that aims to improve the look of signs of ageing within the skin without the need to go under the knife. However many of us are still on the fence as to whether Botox really does provide the solution to wrinkles that we've looking for. The experts at Canterbury Skin and Laser certainly believe it is, and as one of the leading providers of Botox in Kent they're here to tell you why.
So what is Botox?
In order to determine whether Botox really is the non-surgical saviour it claims to be we must first understand what Botox is and how it works.
Botox is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that aims to improve the look of lines and wrinkles by freezing the facial muscles they are injected into. Botox works by effectively restricting the mobility of facial muscles making it impossible for the skin to crease further.
Why is Botox an effective treatment against the signs of ageing?
We asked Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic's consultant dermatologist Dr. Mark Hudson-Peacock what makes Botox such an effective solution to the development of lines and wrinkles. This is what he had to say:
"Botox is an effective solution to the formation of lines and wrinkles because it restricts the use of the facial muscles. This is a huge positive in the fight against wrinkles as it's due to a combination of overuse of the facial muscle and a decline in collagen present within the skin that causes signs of ageing to form. Botox effectively eradicates one of these contributing factors, making it harder for lines and wrinkles to form."
Why Choose Botox?
There are many reasons why Botox is the treatment of choice for millions of patients worldwide and has become one of the most well known cosmetic treatments. For example, many patients find that Botox is a great fit with their lives due to the short treatment time and no needed recovery time. Botox usually takes 30 minutes to perform and can easily be fitted into a patient's lunch break.
Many patients find that Botox is also a great complement to other cosmetic treatments that they may have undergone. For example, Botox can make a great non-surgical anti-ageing team when paired with other non-surgical injectables such as dermal fillers.
Due to Botox's wrinkle preventing nature, many patients also choose to undergo treatment at a younger age in order to apply a wrinkle preventing barrier to their skin before the formation of lines and wrinkles begin. This can result in patients having a head start in their fight against ageing.
Undergoing Botox in Kent
If you are considering having Botox in Kent, consider industry-leaders, Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic. We asked the clinic's cosmetic doctor Dr. Alice Hudson-Peacock why she thought the clinic was the best places to undergo Botox treatment in Kent. She said:
"Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic is the perfect place to have Botox in Kent, because there is a knowledgeable and experienced team of cosmetic doctors and dermatologists all of which aim to provide each patient with the best results possible."
"We also provide services in a range of areas around Kent including Canterbury, Ashford and Folkestone. This means Botox and other anti-ageing treatments are accessible to a much wider range of patients."
If you would like more information on Botox in Kent with Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic then book your consultation today, by calling 01227 472288.

Section 1.3.4 is not about namespace bindings, it is about identifiers of the semantics of the schema language for use by APIs that need to talk about specific versions of W3C Schema.

Note *all* the examples in the following section regarding the schema as a whole use only the version agnostic URI for the namespace binding: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/REC-xmlschema11-1-20120405/#Schemas And *every* use of the xs: prefix is mapped to the version-agnostic URI: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/REC-xmlschema11-1-20120405/#ns-bindings And, normatively, section 188.8.131.52 unambiguously states that the version-agnostic URI shall be used: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/REC-xmlschema11-1-20120405/#xsd-namespace So I do not see any interpretation of the specification that would allow what you ask. I hope this is helpful. . . . . . . . .

Ulf Runesson (HBScF82) receives 2006 Distinguished Instructor Award
Professor Ulf Runesson is a technophile who cares passionately about the application of knowledge about the physical world and our place in it.
He is an expert in Geomatics the science and technology of gathering, analyzing, interpreting, distributing, and using geographic information. And one of his colleagues in the Faculty of Forestry and the Forest Environment, Ken Brown, believes he is worthy of the Lakehead University honor for this international work alone!
In 1993, Runesson designed and installed a completely functional, turn-key GIS/GPS/remote sensing laboratory on the campus of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi (KNUST), Ghana, West Africa, says Ken Brown. Beginning in 1994, and continuing for a decade, Runesson led a series of training courses in Ghana that were designed to provide Ghanaian forestry faulty, forestry practitioners, and others including civil engineers and geographers with the technical skills and knowledge needed to apply these new technologies to Ghanaian problems.
One graduate student describes Runessons impact on her in an eloquent letter that now graces the front of his teaching portfolio:
Thank you for being an effective, supportive, and accessible thesis advisor. Im proud of what I accomplished under your tutelage, and I attribute it largely to your ability to raise the personal and professional standards of those around you merely by being you capable, tirelessly positive, an intelligence with energy.
Ulf Runneson's expertise, along with his commitment to student-centred learning and his deep concern for the ethics of his profession, makes him a truly worthy recipient of the Lakehead University 2006 Distinguished Instructor Award.

Does a Curved-Screen TV Really Offer a Better Picture?
Does a Curved-Screen TV Really Offer a Better Picture?
Q. I was thinking of buying a curved TV. They look pretty cool. But I was wondering if they really deliver a better picture? What do you think? — Mickey, Dunkirk, Maryland.
Several TV manufacturers have begun selling curved-screen TVs to cumsumers. These TVs are fairly new to the market, and have a bend at the ends of set which cause a slight bend toward the middle of the screen. If you have not yet had the chance to see one, they are extremly stylish and can be an amazing conversation starter when added to your home theater system.
According to the TV manufacturers, the curved-screens on their TVs do a few things that the traditional flat-screen set is not able to do. For one, these TVs that maintain the curve creates a much wider viewing angle. This allows people sitting in different areas of a room to see the same picture. "Not a bad seat in the house," claims Sony.
Secondly, these curved-screen TVs are supposed to create the effect of immersion. Immersion means your eyes will gravitate towards the middle of the TV screen and you will be more likely to lose yourself in the viewing experience of the movie or show.
Curved-screens first debuted at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. Since their debute, there has been very little debate among tech critics over the legitimacy of these claims. Their higher than normal price tags have kept them out of the mainstream consumers site, and off the shelves of most big box electronics retailers.
However as the prices have dropped a considerable amount in the past six monthes or so, consumers are now seeing curved-screens at stores such as Best Buy, HH Gregg, ABC Warehouse as well as several others. The increased retail exposure has caused some display experts to now offer their opinions on the pros and cons of buying a curved-screen TV.
And not surprisingly, most of the opinions are not very positive. One example of this is CNET's David Katzmaier, a noted display crtic and journalist, who has written that "the impact of the curve on the picture is subtle and it provides no increase in immersion." He did go on to say that the curve of the TVs screen can help reduce picture reflections, but his overall judgment is that the curve on these TVs is purely "cosmetic", nothing more.
As prices come down, more and more people will purchase these types of televisions to have as the new "IT" item, an electronic status symbol if you will.
Samsung Plans to Exit the Business of Plasma TVs
Samsung Plans to Exit the Business of Plasma TVs
Reuters released a report yesterday stating that Samsung will stop the production of its' Plasma TVs on November 30, 2014 which follows competitor Panasonic's decision six months ago to end its Plasma business as well. Rumors have stated the company's decision was based on the falling demand for Plasma sets.
With both Samsung and now Panasonic out of the Plasma TV business, that will leave LG as the only manufacturer of Plasma TV sets. LG has been focusing much of its attention on 4K and OLED TVs, so it only seems likely that it too will end production of Plasma TVs in the coming months.
What was once a cultural icon and status symbol in the United States, the Plasma TV was soon surpassed in sales by first the LCD, then LED models due to a variety of reasons, which included marketing mishaps, as well as company mishaps within the industry. Even though most industry experts agree that Plasma produces a superior picture, the best products do not always weather the storm of the consumer market.
It can be expected that with Samsung's decision to stop production of Plasma TVs, it is safe to say that Plasma TVs will soon become a thing of the past, much like Atari game systems, and Beta tape recorders.
Comcast Cable Hoping to Carry SEC Network
Comcast Cable Hoping to Carry SEC Network
Comcast Cable released a statement saying they are close to finalizing an agreement to carry the SEC Network, reports Fox Sports.
The regional sports channel is owned by Disney, who also owns ESPN, and launches on August 14, 2014. They will be broadcasting live SEC football and basketball games, as well as other conference specific sporting events.
Comcast spokesman John Demming states that the cable provider and the SEC Network are "working out final details" of a carriage agreement that both sides can be happy with.
"We expect to come to an agreement in the near future," Demming added.
Once a deal is reached between Comcast and the SEC Network, it would leave the other two big dogs in the TV providing business out in the cold. Neither DIRECTV nor Time Warner Cable have been able to come to terms with the SEC Network. Both DISH and AT&T have come to terms and signed carriage deals with the SEC Network.

Grown like your garden
This has been the first decent spell of weather we've had this year and I've just spent almost all day in the garden. I'm exhausted but I also feel great. This got me thinking about the benefits of tending a plot.
Gardening promotes the practice of self-care in many ways. You get out in the fresh air and get physical exercise (sometimes too much - I'll let you know tomorrow!). It's a great way to clear your head and sort your thoughts. Getting plants to grow can give you a great sense of achievement and there are the obvious benefits of growing edible crops. Gardening is a great creative outlet too and for many people their garden becomes a calming and peaceful sanctuary.
We can also learn a lot from plants -
Be yourself - a rose doesn't try to be a fern, ivy doesn't try to be a daffodil. Plants know what they are meant to be and that's what they do.
Start a fresh - plants don't look back - they might have had greenfly last year, or maybe someone forgot to water them, but this year's a new year and none of that matters anymore.
Find your place - plants thrive given the best conditions. Some need sun, some need shade. Some need damp soil, some need a dry spot. Find your own ideal "growing conditions".
Wait until it's your time - if it's a cold Spring plants wait a while for the soil to warm through a little before they start sending up new shoots. Follow their example, decide when the time is right for you.
... and remember ..
If you feel like you need a small treat after all that work then here are some lovely gifts for the green-fingered. Just click on the photos to get more details.

New Grassroots System Launched With Letter to Lawmakers About Prompt and Complete Publication of StudiesThursday, May 5, 2016
(North American Meat Institute)
The Meat Institute today unveiled its new grassroots system and urged members to send letters to lawmakers encouraging them, in their oversight role, to press government agencies that provide research grants to require that results from studies they fund be published completely, and in a timely manner. The Institute launched the letter-writing effort in response to the recent publication of a major study, conducted in Minnesota in the late 1960s, which concluded that saturated fat did not cause coronary heart disease, a finding that contradicted the conventional wisdom at the time. Immediate publication of the study, NAMI posited, could have altered the course of public policy.
The new system requires an initial three minute sign-up process for first time users. Subsequent letters can be sent even more quickly.share on facebook share on twitter


text: http://www.msnbc.com/news/517737.asp?0nm=H1GR More time spent with patients than before managed care The average length of a doctor's office visit has climbed two minutes in the past decade, a survey found. By Robert Bazell NBC NEWS CORRESPONDENT Jan. 17 Contrary to the widely held notion that managed care is shortening the amount of time physicians spend with their patients, a new study finds office visits are actually growing longer. AT CLINICS and doctors offices across the country, patients wait and doctors feel harassed for time. Many, like Dr. Charles Hammonds, a gynecologist at Duke University, say the problem is that health plans do not let him spend as much time with patients as he once did. Physicians have to see more patients in the same interval of time, and that clearly is going to shorten the time that one can spend, he said. But despite the fears of Hammonds and many doctors that medicine is becoming an assembly line going faster and faster, a study published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine found that on average doctors are actually spending more time with patients than they did in the time before managed care. We found that was true for primary care and care given by specialists. It was true for first visits and repeat visits. It was true for prepaid visits and non-prepaid visits, said the studys lead author, David Mechanic, a medical sociologist at Rutgers University. The Rutgers study, based on surveys of doctors and their staffs, looked at over 200,000 office visits over 10 years. One survey, by the National Center for Health Statistics, showed the average length of an office visit had increased by two minutes since 1989 and 1998 to 18 minutes. Another, by the American Medical Association, showed it rose by one minute during that time to 21 minutes. The time increased whether or not the patient was covered by health insurance. The researchers suggest the explanation may simply be that medicine is getting more complicated. And because there is so much health news and drug advertising, patients often have a lot more questions for their doctor. As a consequence I think that doctors, even though theyre spending more time, feel that they dont have enough time to do all that they would like to do, Mechanic said. Robert Bazell's HealthBeat As a result of that and other frustrations like falling income, surveys show most doctors today are dissatisfied. But patients, who are now visiting doctors in this country more than 800 million times a year, seem to have fewer complaints. Advertisement It seems to me that when I have needed to have time spent I get it, Barbara Lee Smith said. In fact, the latest survey of Medicare patients found 90 percent satisfied with their care. So while doctors feel overwhelmed, patients are feeling pretty good about getting a few more minutes of their doctors time.

What is a Volunteer?
A Volunteer is a gracious individual who gives their time for others. The Volunteers on this event will help in a variety of capacities:
Other ways to be involved:
A Message from Your Co-ChairIt is an honour for me to celebrate the commitment of wonderful people like you: the Crew and Volunteers of the Weekend to End Women's Cancers.
You are the hearts, hands, smiles, legs and energy of the Week-end, and much more. Crew and Volunteers don't just do the work, they make it work!!
I am here today to thank you on behalf of walkers and of cancer patients who have received so much because of your dedication, hard work and selflessness.
An anonymous author describes it well: "Volunteers are seldom paid; not because they are worthless, but because they are PRICELESS!!"
I was first treated by the amazing and compassionate medical team at the Jewish General Hospital. They gave me more than treatment. That's why I decided to make a difference and get involved in the Weekend since its very first year.
In the name of all patients and thousands of Walkers YOU have supported and helped through the years and again in August, I wanted to personally Thank You.
Volunteers are crucial to the success of the Week-end and are involved at all stages of the event. Each of these actions, no matter how small, is important. The smiles and kindness you so generously hand out are what makes walkers forget their hardships and register again the following year. As Mother Teresa said: "it is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing that matters".
Actions often speak louder than words…
To summarize: YOU are amazing! Thank you!
Sylvie Grégoire


text: The government's five year tax reform promotes fairer sharing of taxation, eliminating gray and black economy, improving competitiveness and expanding employment, the finance minister said in parliament yesterday. The program involves tax cuts totaling around Ft 1,000 billion and changes spanning over several years will serve increased stability and easier planning, János Veres said. Of the three bills planned, one aims at reforming the current tax system, a second at introducing a simplified across-the-board tax (dubbed EKHO) for workers who invoice employers and earn up to Ft 25 million (around Euro 100,000) annually and a third at introducing luxury tax on real estate worth more than Ft 100 million (around Euro 400,000), he said.

Oxidation and Joint Compounds. Noble metal table.
Dissimilar Metals May Take Away Your Protection
There are many different types of metals and each has desirable properties. However, when you join two dissimilar metals to make an electrical connection there can be problems. Corrosion will begin when the connection is exposed to moisture or any other liquid acting as an electrolyte.
Corrosion is an electromechanical process resulting in the degradation of a metal or alloy. Oxidation, pitting or crevicing, de-alloying, and hydrogen damage are a few descriptions of corrosion. Most metals today are not perfectly pure and consequently, when exposed to the environment, will begin to exhibit some of the effects of
Aluminum, as in PolyPhaser' s coaxial protectors, has an excellent corrosion resistance due to a 1 nano-meter thick barrier of oxide film which instantaneously forms on the metal. Even if abraded, it will reform and protect the metal from any further corrosion. Any dulling, graying, or blacking which may subsequently appear is a
result of pollutant accumulation.
Normally, corrosion is limited to mild surface roughening by shallow pitting with no general loss of metal. An aluminum roof after 30-years only had 0.076mm (0.003 inch) average pitting depth. An electrical cable lost only 0.109mm (0.0043 inch) after 51-years of service near Hartford, Connecticut. Copper such as C110 used in our
Bulkhead Panels has been used for roofing, flashing, gutters, and downspouts. It is one of the most widely used metals in atmospheric exposure. Despite the formation of the green patina, copper has been used for centuries and has negligible rates of corrosion in unpolluted water and air. At high temperatures some copper alloys are
better than stainless steel.
If you were to join copper to aluminum or copper to galvanized (hot dipped zinc) steel with no means of preventing moisture from bridging the joint, corrosion loss will occur over time. This is the accelerated corrosion (loss) of the least noble metal (anode) while protecting the more noble (cathode) metal. Copper, in this example,
is the more noble metal in both of these connections. (See the Noble Metal Table for a ranking of commonly used metals.)
Where the connection is with galvanized steel, the zinc coating will be reduced allowing the base steel to oxidize (rust), which in turn will increase the resistance of the connection and eventually compromise the integrity of the mechanical structure.
The aluminum will pit to the copper leaving less surface area for contact. The connection could be become loose, noisy, and even allow arcing. These corrosion problems can be prevented by using a joint compound, covering and prevent the bridging of moisture between the metals. The most popular compounds use either zinc oxide or copper particles embedded
in silicone grease. As the joint pressure is increased, the embedded particles dig into the metals and form a virgin low resistance junction void of air and its moisture.
The use of a joint compound has now been adopted as the recommended means for joining our coaxial protectors to our bulkhead panels for non-climate controlled installations. We have been supplying copper joint compound for our bulkhead panel ground strap connections. We have tested this compound with a "loose" 1 square-inch
copper to copper joint and have found it to handle a 25,500 ampere 8/20 waveform surge with no flash over and no change in resistance (0.001 ohms). We have even moved the loose joint before and after the surge and experienced no change in resistance.
The connection of a copper wire to galvanized tower leg should be avoided even if joint compound is used. The primary problem here is the low surface-area contact of the round wire with the (round) tower leg. Consider using a PolyPhaser TK series stainless steel clamp as shown on page 53 of the ' 90-' 91 Catalog. The TK clamp
will help increase the surface area of the connection as well as provide the necessary isolation between the dissimilar metals. Use joint compound on exposed applications of the TK clamps. For an even more effective connection, use copper strap in place of wire with the TK series clamp.
Silver oxide is the only oxide (that we know of) that is conductive. This is one reason why PolyPhaser' s N-type coax connectors are all silver with gold center pins. Copper oxide is not conductive and the proper application of joint compound will prevent oxidation.

Hybrid cloud: Who's in control when public and private clouds collide?
There's plenty of potential in unifying public and private cloud resources, but there are also hybrid cloud challenges that make the IT team question its role.
The exponential growth of hybrid cloud leaves IT shops grappling with crucial questions, including: What is the role of the enterprise network in this shared scenario? Is software-defined networking (SDN) suddenly necessary? And perhaps the trickiest of all -- when enterprise IT teams and service providers share environments, who's responsible for what?
Hybrid cloud infrastructure is defined by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as: "A composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures -- private, community or public -- that remain unique entities, but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds)."
The key here is that "hybrid cloud is more than just a public cloud and a data center. Portability and the commonality of applications and data are the things that really distinguish it," said Mathew Lodge, vice president of cloud services for VMware.
On the networking front, "folks are surprised that they can really rebuild in a hybrid cloud exactly the same architecture they have in the data center -- completely in software, with complete freedom, and no requirement to reconfigure routers or physical network devices of any kind," Lodge said.
This is why we're seeing distinctions among public and private and hybrid cloud dissipate quickly. "Looking out at 2014 and beyond, nearly every enterprise network is going to be hybrid," said Dave Bartoletti, Forrester a principal analyst who serves infrastructure and operations professionals.
What can you do differently in a hybrid cloud?
The primary goal of the hybrid cloud is to move workloads from on-premises to the public cloud to take advantage of cloud scalability and cloud bursting, especially during massive computation or high-traffic situations.
One of the biggest differences between private and public cloud is how much of the stack you control -- and hybrid cloud is where control of these two clouds collides.
When building a private cloud, you own all the services and technologies that make the servers, storage and network act like a cloud. In the public cloud, you're consuming a service and don't have direct control over network or storage devices or even the physical servers in the public cloud.
"Once an application surpasses a certain demand threshold and you want to spin up a few more instances of it on, say, Amazon, the applications need to be able to behave [the same] way," said Bartoletti. "Look at the application architecture first to see if it works that way and can support that behavior, then look at how the network works underneath it."
Not many traditional enterprises are designed to cloud burst on their own, so during hybrid cloud planning, they've got to ask: What does the application need? What are we trying to do for the application? "In the cloud it really makes sense to take a workload-focused view," Bartoletti explained.
Once you determine the kinds of applications you want to move to the cloud, and what their specific storage and networking requirements are, then compare what you have internally to what's available in the public cloud. "The options are really all over the place," said Bartoletti.
There is such an abundance of options that Scott Sanchez, director of strategy for Rackspace, describes hybrid cloud as a giant crate of Legos in all shapes, sizes and colors that can be used to build your dream cloud -- as opposed to going to a toy store and picking out the one kit that comes closest to meeting your needs.
"Now you can actually assemble your best-fit solution," Sanchez said. "In the past, you had to settle for a solution that gave you maybe 60% of what you wanted. With hybrid cloud, you can get to 100% -- exactly what you want."
SDN's role in hybrid cloud
Take a look around and you'll quickly discover that SDN is playing a huge role in the hybrid cloud. In fact, you can thank SDN for enabling the richness of options available.
NTT Communications executive vice president of data center services Chris Eldredge likens SDN's optimum routing capabilities to a highway with five lanes, where if four lanes are full, SDN automatically routes you over to the fifth lane to give you improved performance. "We're seeing more requests for SDN infrastructure every day," he noted.
VMware, which offers vCloud software and its own public cloud service, uses its new SDN-based network virtualization platform, NSX, to provide the service. "As a whole, NSX essentially gives you the programmable network control and separation -- moving away from command-line to programmatic control of the network and network virtualization," said Lodge.
That's important to VMware's customers for two reasons. "First, how can they join or connect their existing data center network that's out in the cloud? In VMware's case, they can do it with our vCloud Hybrid Service," Lodge said. "The second is they want to know if they can replicate all of the things they're used to being able to do in physical networks in the cloud inside vCloud Hybrid Service. The answer is yes -- SDN and NSX technologies enable it."
Rackspace's public cloud is also driven by SDN, with OpenStack baked natively in to the past few releases. "People running our products across private and public clouds can write their applications to take advantage of this application-driven networking," said Sanchez.
But, Sanchez cautioned, "None of that means a thing if the person holding the keys to your firewall won't let you connect." In other words, shifting to an SDN model requires an adjustment to the mind-set of the new model.
This mind-set shift requires "simultaneously getting network gatekeepers comfortable with the fact that they can have a high level of security, potentially even better with SDN, but it's going to feel different," explained Sanchez. "You may need to break a little glass in the process, but you'll discover this is a good solution."
Hybrid cloud challenges: People -- and networks -- must change
The biggest challenge, from Rackspace's perspective, isn't the technology involved in hybrid cloud. "The companies who are succeeding with hybrid cloud are the ones with leaders willing to give some of this new stuff a try and not handcuff everyone to 10-year-old technology models," explained Sanchez.
On the technology side, networking is, of course, one of the biggest hybrid cloud issues for enterprises. Everyone needs to be able to connect their networks together, and in doing so, often run into challenges.
"These sorts of challenges include how to do VPN termination or how to configure DNS," explained VMware's Lodge. "What IP addresses and spaces you can use? How are you going to route the traffic? These are the frequent bumps in the road we see for hybrid cloud deployments. Customers are also often challenged when they have to completely re-architect their applications for the public cloud provider, which may operate in a different way and can have very different assumptions about infrastructure."
In terms of public cloud, Lodge pointed out that many enterprises rely on fairly sophisticated network topologies and configurations to do network isolation, which is critical to security segregation. "But this isn't included in many of the public clouds," he noted. "Most public clouds are a VM behind a firewall on the Internet; that's not enough protection because the only thing that should be able to talk to it is the application layer."
For cloud bursting, network challenges depend, in large part, upon the applications involved."In many cases, enterprises need to use the same IP address space, where the applications work," explained Lodge. "But many public clouds don't support foreign IP address spaces or any of the private network address spaces. We view being able to bring your own IP address as critical."
One related challenge VMware is addressing is enabling customers to stretch Layer 2 networks from their data center to the cloud across network domains. This "makes it look like both your VMs and data center are on the same network as far as the applications are concerned," Lodge said.
How are providers helping customers?
Nearly all cloud providers are offering some form of hybrid cloud service and various levels of support.
"Cloud providers are all trying to make it as easy as possible within a software-defined environment so customers can configure networks as needed," said Bartoletti. "They provide network services for defining IP addresses, setting up load balancers, etc., to give customers some control over how their public network operates in the cloud."
For its part, VMware is attempting to make life easier by extending its virtualized networking tools to work the same way across both public and private clouds.
And Rackspace, for example, is helping customers create the best-fit solution for their applications, workloads and business -- not just once, but rearranging them as needed, continuously, to solve their problems.
"The best way we can help customers is to encourage them to view hybrid cloud as an outcome, a mind-set much like happiness, as opposed to a product you can buy," explained Sanchez.
Is there a distinction of responsibilities in the hybrid cloud?
The short answer: No.
"The line is definitely blurred," Bartoletti said. "If you set up a virtual private cloud and connect it to your data center, you're still responsible for how the network behaves. While a traditional network administrator will probably spend a lot less time configuring network devices in the cloud, they're still responsible for quality of service for throughput, for bandwidth, and for latency issues. Those are still the responsibility of the owner of the application."
As network architect and "Ethereal Mind" blogger Greg Ferro put it, "There is no clear ownership -- it varies on a case-by-case basis."
For Infrastructure as a Service hybrid clouds, Ferro sees some demarcation because the VM container is usually clearly defined. But there are also storage and network considerations that he describes as difficult, if not impossible, to measure. "For Platform as a Service and Software as a Service hybrids, the lines are very blurred," he said. "You can measure service-level agreements around the delivery of some elements, but there are hundreds inside the stack that remain unresolved."
Determining who's responsible for what is an area that will continue to evolve with hybrid cloud, and hopefully, the line will eventually become clearly defined. In the meantime, there's a bit of trust involved in hybrid cloud. "But you should pay close attention to service-level agreements with providers and ask about any concerns up front," Bartoletti recommended.
