Hospital visitors who experience cardiac arrest wait much longer than admitted patients for defibrillation, according to new research. In fact, people who experience cardiac arrest in a casino or airport terminal may be better off than those stricken in a hospital lobby or other hospital public area.
In the study of 749 episodes of cardiorespiratory arrest at one hospital during a 2-year time period, a researcher found that hospitalized patients underwent defibrillation within about 2.5 minutes. In contrast, six visitors who went into cardiac arrest in public areas at the hospital waited 12.3 minutes for defibrillation.
In one previous study, researchers found an average collapse-to-first-shock time of 4.4 minutes in Las Vegas, Nev., casinos where security officers had been trained to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
Research is now underway to determine if response times can be improved by placing AEDs in hospital public areas.

Ben Gall took over the California Baptist University cross country/distance track programs in 2012. He guided the Lancers in their transition from the NAIA to the NCAA, with a stop in the NCCAA along the way.
Gall has received consecutive PacWest Coach of the Year awards in 2012 and 2013. Both came in men's cross country after the Lancers won conference titles, stretching their championship streak to three seasons. CBU has also had its fair share of national success under Gall.
In cross country, he has coached 20 all-conference runners, five All-Americans, three PacWest Newcomer of the Year and All-West Region athletes, two conference freshmen of the year and the PacWest Runner of the Year once. On the track, CBU has produced six national champions, 23 All-Americans, seven individual conference champions and 28 all-conference performances with Gall at the helm.
In 2013, Gall guided the team to five top-five finishes and the NCAA Championships after it took fifth in the West Regional in its first year as a fully-fledged Division II member. CBU finished 22nd nationally, produced an NCAA All-American, two All-West Region runners and the individual PacWest Champion, Bryton Reim. The squad also won its season-opening Lancer Invitational on Sept. 7.
That same season, the women's cross country team took third in the PacWest and ninth in the West Regional. The Lancers had their first NCAA All-West Regional runner, as well, in Natalie Ball.
In his first full cross country season in 2012, Gall led the Lancer men to their second straight PacWest title, grabbing six All-PacWest honors in the process. Talal Khan won the individual title. In all, the Lancers had five top five finishes in seven meets, including a third place finish at the NCCAA Championships. On the women's side, the Lancers finished second at the PacWest Championships and had four all-conference performers. They also had five top five finishes in seven meets, including a fourth-place finish at the NCCAA Championships. Jennifer Mallen won the NCCAA Individual National Championship.
In 2014, CBU track and field enjoyed another strong performance at the PacWest Championships. The men and women took fourth and fifth, respectively, while competing in only the distance events. In all, the Lancers produced 16 all-conference runs and four individual titles.
In his second track season at CBU in 2013, Gall led a contingent of five runners to the NCCAA Outdoor National Championships. Four of them earned All-American honors, and Trevor Henson won the 3,000-meter steeplechase title. On the conference level, the Lancers had three individual champions and 12 All-PacWest honorees in the inaugural conference championships. Running just distance events while every other team had full squads, the Lancer men finished fourth overall while the women finished fifth. Gall led the Lancers through the 2012 distance track season, coaching five NCCAA individual champions and 19 NCCAA All-Americans at both the indoor and outdoor championships.
Prior to coming to CBU, Gall spent the past 10 years as the associate head cross country/track coach at Northwest Nazarene University, an NCAA Division II institution in Nampa, Idaho. He was the head cross country coach.
This past year, Gall led the Crusaders' men's team to a fifth place finish out of 17 teams at the NCAA Division II West Region Championships, narrowly missing out on a berth to the national championships by one spot. It was the best finish in program history. Individually, Barak Watson earned All-American honors, finishing eighth as an individual at the national championships.
The Crusader women finished 13th out of 24 in the region meet.
During his time in Nampa, Gall helped coach two national champions, 17 All-Americans, 16 Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) champions, 45 All-GNAC recipients, 21 Scholar-Athletes and 110 Academic All-Conference honorees.
Perhaps most notably, Gall coached Ashley Puga to NCAA Division II titles in the 800 meters at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor championships in 2009. She also ran the sixth fastest time ever for an NCAA Division II athlete at the Mt. SAC Relays. She went on to earn 2009 NCAA Division II track athlete of the year and was a finalist for NCAA Woman of the Year.
A 2002 graduate of Eastern Oregon University in LaGrande, Ore., Gall earned his bachelor's in psychology and then completed his master's in elementary education in 2003 at Eastern Oregon. He received his Ph.D. in educational leadership and management from Capella University.
Gall, who also is an assistant professor of kinesiology at NNU, holds a USATF Level Endurance Coach certification.
In 2007, Gall was elected to the Nampa School Board. He was a kindergarten teacher for the Notus School District from 2003-06, and he has also served as a camp speaker and coach at numerous Fellowship of Christian Athletes camps across the country.

Shell reserved words
updated Mar 5, 2008 12:00 am | 5,015 views
Reserved words are words that have special meaning to the shell.
They are only recognized as reserved words when used as:
Reserved words do not follow the same parsing rules as shell commands. For example, word splitting is not performed on a variable expansion following case as it would be on a variable following a command (whether external or built-in).
The POSIX shell specification recognizes the following reserved words:
{ – the beginning of a compound command.
} – the end of a compound command.
case – executes commands based on a word matching a pattern
do – introduces a list of commands followiing for, while, until.
done – closes a list of commands introduced with do.
elif – introduces a secondary test that is executed if the condition following if fails.
else – introduces a list of commands that is executed if the condition following if and any subsequent elif statements fails.
esac – closes a case statement.
fi – concludes a compound command beginning with if.
for – executes a list of commands for each member of a list of items.
if – controls program flow based on success or failure of a list of commands.
in – introduces a list of strings following for or a list of patterns following case.
then – introduces a command list upon successful completion of a command list following if or elif.
until – loops until a condition is true.
while – loops until a condition is false.
The [[, ]], function and select words may be implemented by a shell, but produce unspecified results.

Cain Keyne is getting a lot of attention for his 9-9-9 tax plan. I think his plan is something he rushed out to get attention—it worked. One thing about Herman is that he knows how to sell. I wish Ron Paul would pay attention to this. I like Herman a lot, except for his ideas and proposals. He's a really bright guy, amazing personal story, and a huge success in business. But … he's a conservative in the new mold, if you will, who fits the needs of social conservatives but has a fuzzy grasp on economics. They all say they support the free market, individualism, lower taxes, and less government. Few understand how it really works. Except for Ron Paul.
There is a mantra going around that we need a good businessman in the White House to run things. I would humbly disagree. I say give me an ideologue any day, someone I trust will live up to their campaign rhetoric. Mitt and Herman are good guys, but their ideas mostly fail to grasp the real issues that afflict our society. We've had "pragmatists" running our government for far too long. Reagan was the last ideologue and he largely failed to achieve his ideas. I know where Ron Paul stands and what he would do when he is elected (his plan, just announced, is coming soon).
I thought I would start publishing criticisms of the candidate's economic proposals, starting with 9-9-9. It shows that Herman is solidly within the mainstream of economic thought: very similar to Democratic Keynesian, just less of it.
Here is Cato's take on 9-9-9:
Herman Cain: How about 15-15-15?
by Chris Edwards
This article appeared on The Daily Caller on October 14, 2011.
Chris Edwards is editor of Cato Institute's Downsizing Government.org.
Presidential candidate Herman Cain has made a splash with his 9-9-9 tax reform plan. I love his 9 percent income tax, but the skunk at the tax reform picnic is his 9 percent retail sales tax. Mr. Cain is an articulate advocate of free enterprise and I wish him well in the contest, but he should ditch the sales tax.
Adding a retail sales tax to the federal government's powerful tax armada would be a terrible idea from a small-government perspective. Democrats are desperate to find ways to fund soaring entitlement costs, so it's dangerous to give them conservative political cover to add a new federal funding source.
Cain's 9 percent business tax is also a problem. It is similar to a value-added tax (VAT) because it would disallow a business deduction for wages, which would make the base much broader than the corporate income tax base. And like a VAT, Cain's business tax would apparently be imposed on all businesses, not just those currently paying the corporate income tax.
The result would be that American businesses would be collecting a large tax on workers' wages — but workers wouldn't see this major government grab. One caveat is that the Cain business tax would allow a deduction for dividends paid, which would narrow the base compared to the standard VAT.
In sum, two of Cain's three 9′s are bad ideas. His advocacy of lower marginal rates and reduced taxes on savings and investment are great, but he should drop the 9-9-9 plan.
Instead, Cain and other candidates should consider a 15-15-15 plan. At first blush, that doesn't sound very appealing because the rates are higher than Cain's. But the business tax base would be much smaller than Cain's, and the plan would make existing revenue sources more visible and efficient. Here's the 15-15-15 plan:
- 15 Percent Payroll Tax. Cain would abolish the current 15.3 percent payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare. That's odd because Cain — to his credit — is proposing a Chilean-style Social Security system with personal accounts. I'd keep the current payroll tax, but move to a Chilean-style system by allowing workers to put 6 percentage points or more of the tax into a personal account. That would feel like a tax cut for workers because they would retain ownership of the money. I would also require that all 15.3 percent of the tax be listed on employee pay stubs so that the burden is highly visible. Currently, workers only see half of the payroll tax, and thus might be unaware of the high cost of these retirement programs.
- 15 Percent Personal Income Tax. Like Cain, I'd get rid of just about all deductions and other breaks under the income tax, except pro-savings features such as the 401(k) rules. It's also reasonable to retain a substantial basic exemption for low-income filers, as under the Dick Armey/Steve Forbes "flat tax" plans. The Armey/Forbes plans had rates in the range of 17 to 20 percent, but they only taxed labor income at the individual level, not capital income. Technically, that is the right way to go under a flat tax, but as a bow to today's political realities, we might want to tax wages, dividends, interest and capital gains all at 15 percent.
- 15 Percent Corporate Income Tax. We should cut the 35 percent corporate income tax rate to 15 percent. People say we should trade a rate cut for loophole closing, but loophole closing is not worth the effort. Corporate loopholes are far smaller than loopholes in the individual code, and trying to scrap them just creates a blockade of business opposition to reform. Also, if we dropped the rate to 15 percent, the base would automatically broaden as businesses reduced their tax avoidance and evasion. Corporate profits parked offshore would flood back into the United States, and capital investment would get a huge boost. In the long-run, policymakers should consider switching to the simpler cash-flow business base under the Armey/Forbes flat tax, but if we cut the rate to 15 percent, the distortions caused by the current base would be greatly reduced anyway.
How much revenue would 15-15-15 raise? You could probably make it revenue-neutral by adjusting the basic exemption amount under the individual income tax. Dick Armey's flat tax exemption was huge at about $35,000 for a family of four. A lower exemption amount makes more sense, but this is a variable that could be fine-tuned.
Of course, tax reform would be much easier if it created an overall tax cut. And that would be much easier to achieve if Congress cut spending. So I'd encourage Mr. Cain and the other candidates to roll up their sleeves and give us their detailed spending-cut plans. As a modest first step, how about a 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 plan to slice 9 percent off the budget of every federal agency?

30. The product of
execute the BIOS personality update in the blade.
[0001] This invention relates to provisioning for a modular server.
[0002] An example of a modular server is a so-called blade server that includes a cluster of blades, each of which are dedicated to a single task, such as file sharing, web page serving and caching, secured sockets layer (SSL) encrypting of web communications, transcoding of web page content for smaller displays, or streaming audio and video content.
[0003] The behavior of each of the blades in a modular server during boot is governed by its personality, as captured in both persistent and volatile memory areas, such as non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) data areas of the blade, complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) tokens and data items, and variables in random access memory (RAM). Personality refers to a behavior of a blade that is configured by an end user and includes, for example, default boot order, localization, enabling/disabling features, allocation of resources and authentication information. For the sake of manageability, such personality data is typically stored in memory where it is prone to corruption.
[0004]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a modular server.
[0005]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an in-band provisioning agent.
[0006]FIG. 3 is a flow diagram of personality data management.
[0007] In FIG. 1, a modular server 10, for example, a blade server, includes a management module 12 containing an in-band provisioning agent (IBPA) 14 and shared resources 16. The term �in-band� refers to a fact that the provisioning agent 14 functions continuously during system 10 operation. The modular server 10 includes a backplane 18 and three blades 20, 22, 24, although any number of blades could be included in the modular server 10. Each of the blades 20, 22, 24 includes an associated BMC 26, 28, 30, generally referred to as a baseboard management controller (BMC). Each of the blades 20, 22, 24 communicates with management module 12 through a respective BMC 26, 28, 30, and backplane 18. Each of the blades 20, 22, 24 includes basic input output system (BIOS) personality data that is stored in the management module 12.
[0008] The management module 12 is a complete computer system having dedicated resources, such as a monitor, keyboard, floppy drive and CDROM drive. Each of the blades 20, 22, 24 is a computer system that does not typically include dedicated resources, but instead utilizes the shared resources 16. For example, if blade 20 requires use of a floppy drive, blade 20 makes a request for the floppy drive, one of the shared resources 16, through its BMC 26 to the management module 12. The management module 12 can temporarily allocate the floppy drive from the shared resources 16 to the blade 20 if it is available and not allocated to blade 22 or blade 24.
[0009] One feature of the modular server 12 is that the blades 20, 22, 24 can be asymmetric, e.g., they can have different architectures (e.g., 32-bit, 64-bit), varying processor frequencies, and so forth. In another feature of the blade, in the event of data corruption, certain Disk Operating System (DOS)/Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)-based utilities are used to restore the blade BIOS personality. The blade BIOS personality, i.e., the behavior of a system, can be configured and restored to a multitude of end-user preferences. Configuration and restoration tools can be EFI-based applications, 16-bit applications, 32-bit applications or DOS applications. Most systems are capable of multiple behaviors. The term �personality� refers to an instance of a number of such behaviors, which controls a boot and associated configuration elements that are loaded.
[0010] A typical requirement of blade servers, such as modular server 10, is that each BMC uses a published protocol for communication to and from the backplane 18 and management module 12.
[0011] In FIG. 2, the in-band provisioning agent IBPA 14 performs blade personality management for each of the blades 20, 22, 24 within the module server 10. In-band provisioning generally refers to configuring the blade using existing pathways within the modular server 10, such as the backplane 18 and blade controller 26, 28, 30, during a boot sequence, without a need for operator input. Personality management includes scheduling basic input output system (BIOS) updates, versioning conflict resolution (e.g., BIOS version compatibility), handling corruption/integrity issues in conjunction with the proper recovery applications, and allocation of shared resources. The IBPA 14 includes a provisioning agent code 50 and a data area 52. Data is prone to frequent changes and thus isolated from code for convenience. The provisioning agent code 50 communicates with each of the BMCs 26, 28, 30 to manage BIOS personality data of the blade. The data area 52 stores a blade personality database 54, 56, 58 for each blade 20, 22, 24, respectively. Optionally, the data area 52 can also include personality stock keeping units (SKUs) 60 mapped to a configuration database 62. A SKU is an identification, usually alphanumeric, of a particular blade. Each SKU is mapped to corresponding configuration information in configuration database 62. For example, modifications to a blade's BIOS personality can be stored in the configuration database 62 to allow personality versioning, either by demand from a user request or through stored policies within the configuration database 62. Policy-driven versioning can be, for example, a periodic update of blade BIOS personality.
[0012] Personality updates of the BIOS can either be planned or be triggered by integrity check failures during boot. For example, during boot of a blade, its BIOS sends a request to its BMC and on to the provisioning agent code area 50 to check if there are any pending personality updates in the respective blade personality database. If the BMC request returns affirmatively, BIOS in turn sends a command to BMC to schedule a BIOS personality update. Similarly, if a BIOS personality integrity check fails, BIOS sends a command to BMC to schedule a BIOS personality update to recover BIOS data.
[0013] As discussed above, two-way communication occurs between the blades 20, 22, 24 and the IBPA 14 of the management module 12. For example, a blade can generate a request addressed to IBPA 14 seeking personality data for update or delivery of data packets by management module 12 that are directed to the blade. Since each blade can independently talk to IBPA 14 of the management module 12, concurrent updates of more than one blade are possible.
[0014] Traditional servers rely on pre-defined user key inputs during a boot sequence to alter the personality of the system. The user imports are often obtained in response to user prompts during booting, or through a set-up menu that accepts user input to configure the personality. More specifically, a user is prompted to enter-information during boot up by using keys having specific meanings. By contrast, the IBPA 14 handles all BIOS personality management so that key inputs are eliminated and allocation of the shared resources 16, for example, are performed in a timely and orderly fashion. Further, the IBPA 14 maintains and manages blade BIOS personalities so floppy-based maintenance software tools are not needed to recover BIOS personality data that has been lost or corrupted.
[0015] In FIG. 3, a personality management data flow process 100 includes a BIOS of a blade querying (102) its BMC for planned BIOS personality data. The BMC queries (104) the management module for the planned BIOS personality data. The management module sends (106) BIOS personality data along with an update plan to both the IBPA and BMC. The BMC notifies (108) the BIOS of BIOS personality data availability. The BIOS requests (110) a BIOS personality update from its BIOS personality database. Each BIOS personality database includes entries unique to each blade, such as default boot order, localization, enabled and disabled features, resource allocation, authentication and authorization information, and version information. The IBPA sends (112) the updated BIOS personality data to the BIOS. The BIOS updates and performs (114) a BIOS personality integrity check during boot. If the BIOS determines that the requested BIOS personality of a current BIOS version is corrupted the IBPA sends (116) BIOS personality data associated with a previous version of the BIOS.
[0016] Embodiments of the invention can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer hardware, firmware, software, or in combinations of them. Embodiments of the invention can be implemented as a computer program product, i.e., a computer program tangibly embodied in an information carrier, e.g., in a machine-readable storage device or in a propagated signal, for execution by, or to control the operation of, data processing apparatus, e.g., a programmable processor, a computer, or multiple computers. A computer program can be written in any form of programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, and it can be deployed in any form, including as a stand-alone program or as a module, component, subroutine, or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment.
[0017] Method steps of embodiments of the invention can be performed by one or more programmable processors executing a computer program to perform functions of embodiments of the invention by operating on input data and generating output. Method steps can also be performed by, and apparatus of embodiments of the invention can be implemented as, special purpose logic circuitry, e.g., an FPGA (field programmable gate array) or an ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit).
[0018] Processors suitable for the execution of a computer program include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors, and any one or more processors of any kind of digital computer. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory or a random access memory or both. The essential elements of a computer are a processor for executing instructions and one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data. Generally, a computer will also include, or be operatively coupled to receive data from or transfer data to, or both, one or more mass storage devices for storing data, e.g., magnetic, magneto-optical disks, or optical disks. Information carriers suitable for embodying computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, e.g., EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks, e.g., internal hard disks or removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM and DVD-ROM disks. The processor and the memory can be supplemented by, or incorporated in special purpose logic circuitry.
[0019] Other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.
