France v South Africa - Live
80 Penalty to France at the scrum as the hosts look for something to take into the Six Nations. Fofana scrambling into the 22, but Bastareaud is held up on the far side and the Springboks have finally beaten France at the Stade de France. An unbeaten tour following wins over Wales and Scotland will all mean valuable experience for the Springboks ahead of the Rugby World Cup. A step forward for South Africa, as France finish 2013 with only two wins to their name. Goodnight from Paris.
80 Springboks now winding down the clock through multiple carries inside their own half. Kolisi involved as France frustratingly watch on, before winning a scrum for a knock on. No time left for the victory but perhaps some for a final flourish.
79 PENALTY, SOUTH AFRICA, LAMBIE! 10-19: The replacement lands the three-pointer and that will secure victory for the Springboks and mean they finish their tour unbeaten.
78 Kolisi scrambles to win the lineout and then France are pinged for a needless offside at the ruck. Easy chance for Lambie to secure the win...
77 Wide ball from France but eventually forced into touch. Lineout is won back through by Les Bleus and the hosts put the hammer down. Strauss though is there to win the penalty at the breakdown at a crucial time right on the centre spot. Lambie kicks deep into the 22.
76 Du Toit penalised for a dangerous tackle on a slipping Dulin, momentum with the hosts. Botha replaced by Kolisi as Du Toit moves into the second row. Michalak on for Tales. Springbok lineout outside the French 22.
74 PENALTY, FRANCE, PARRA! 10-16: Resulting penalty converted by Parra and France draw within seven. Adriannse on for his debut.
73 YELLOW CARD, SOUTH AFRICA, LOUW! Dusautoir momentarily off as France bring on an extra prop to cover Domingo's absence. Lambie on for Steyn at fly-half for SA. Soft knock on by Pape returns the ball SA's way, before play is stopped as Pape looks to have been struck in the face. Clumsy from Louw but the Springbok flanker goes straight to the bin for use of the arm. 14 v 14.
Alertness from Parra as he darts through a gap in the lineout. Momentum for the hosts and Habana goes off his feet for another penalty. Time off as the assistant referee spots a leading elbow, consulting the TMO. Penalty is reversed but Steyn misses touch. Huget makes a break but the bounce off his kick is cruel. Knocked on though so France have a scrum in the 22.
69 Powerful maul down the left touchline from the Springboks to just outside the French 22. Bastareaud with a good tackle on De Villiers as Fourie goes off his feet. French penalty.
67 YELLOW CARD, FRANCE, DOMINGO! Ruling is that Domingo tipped Habana beyond the horizontal and despite not driving him into the ground didn't bring Habana down safely, so the prop heads to the bin. Du Toit on for Alberts.
66 Dulin carries France over halfway. Lauret works hard to keep the ball in French hands but then the ball is lost and Steyn clears long. Fofana with a fine counter and then Tales tries to force a pass wide on the left and knocks on. Play stopped to review a questionable tackle on Du Plessis.
63 Springboks win a penalty at the maul and Steyn finds a decent enough touch outside the French 22. Botha winning the ball off the top as SA build the phases and try to suck in the defence. Back to Steyn for the drop goal, but the ball sails wide to the left. France to drop out.
62 Springboks clear through Le Roux and France start again from within their own half. Offload from Fofana to Guitoune but Habana shifts him out over the touchline. Stoppage in play as Huget is treated.
60 Pape charges down Pienaar's kick in a telegraphed move, but there's a minor knock on there and SA escape some real danger. Pinned back deep in their 22 though for the scrum.
58 PENALTY, SOUTH AFRICA, STEYN! 7-16: Penalty for a late tackle on Steyn. The fly-half lines up a shot at goal to score the first points of the half and lands it.
56 Lambie replaces Le Roux who goes off with a nasty cut above his eye. Mas replaced by Slimani for France as the hosts set up a lineout inside the SA half. Ball won by the Boks and Pienaar's box kick is gathered and returned by Dulin into touch.
54 This ugly arm wrestle needs a breakthrough. France pinned back to their 22 and win the lineout. Parra's box kick is gathered by Le Roux who runs it back. Wide from SA to Fourie, building the phases now inside the French half. Penalty though to France at the breakdown - Lauret the man receiving the plaudits there.
53 High kick from Parra causes problems but Pape knocks on at the ruck after SA lost possession. Springbok scrum ten metres inside their own half. Tense affair but France remain in touch.
52 Free kick at the scrum to France, Pienaar pinged for an early put-in. Turned into a penalty due to the offence happening for the second time. France breath a huge sigh of relief as they clear to their ten-metre line.
51 Lineout stolen this time by Botha, Springboks just outside the French 22. Pienaar changes the direction of the play and Le Roux's kick trickles and bounces off a French player into the in-goal area where Louw pounces, but Huget gets the ball down just in time. Five-metre scrum to the Springboks.
50 Smooth lineout to Botha. Springboks make ground but then Habana is flung into touch by the physical French defence. Little daylight between the two sides.
49 Unclean ball at the lineout but Pienaar gets his kick away. Secured by France and Tales kicks high, well taken by Le Roux. Pienaar with the box kick once more, the ball ricocheting off Dulin's foot into touch. Scrappy opening.
47 Szarzewski on for Kayser to throw into the lineout in the SA 22 now. Taken by Chouly at the front but the maul only goes back initially. Strong carry from Fofana but again Louw is there over the ruck to win the penalty. SA clear.
45 Scrum penalty this time to France as Tales clears to halfway. France finally out of their half but Parra is driven back hard. Good counter-racking by Louw wins the ball, but the pass to Pietersen is too high from De Villiers and flies into touch. French lineout.
43 Ball comes back SA's way and Vermeulen burst away. Recycled and quick hands from de Villiers sends Fourie over for the try! Wayne Barnes checking a possible knock on from Steyn. TMO confirms the ball did go forward, so France have the scrum outside their 22.
41 Parra's kick doesn't quite earn the distance he wanted as SA take a lineout on the French 22. Won by Botha as Fourie crashes up, Louw driven back. Turned over by France after more great work by Dusautoir. French scrum.
40 Both teams back out for the second half with Steyn to get us underway. Can France come from behind to win? Let's get started.
40 TRY, FRANCE, HUGET! 7-13: Straight from the restart, France hit right back. The ball comes loose at the ruck and Guitoune and Parra combine to put Huget in the corner, finishing with precision. Key score for the hosts to bring them right back into the game on the verge of half-time. Parra converts and that's the break, the Boks dominating most of the half before that crucial intervention at the death.
39 PENALTY, SOUTH AFRICA, STEYN! 0-13: Stroked over by the Stade Francais number ten as the Boks build a comfortable lead.
37 Powerful SA maul with Du Plessis at the tail. Advantage being played as De Villiers crashes up. SA looking for more before half-time but advantage is over, Steyn lining up a kick at goal.
34 French pack driven backwards from the scrum but retaining possession. Persisting to play out wide but France continue to be isolated and again the Springboks win a breakdown penalty. A mexican wave after 35 minutes says plenty.
32 Penalty to France after a late hit, Tales finding touch deep in Springbok territory. Kayser charges over the 22, de Villiers nearly with a trademark interception but can't quite bring it in. French scrum just outside the SA 22.
30 Territory battle continues as the French crowd start to whistle. Tales kick is half charged down as it heads for the touchline, but play is stopped as Wayne Barnes consults his assistant referee.
28 Dulin carrying well for France as they turn over the ball outside the SA 22. Oosthuizen though working well at the breakdown to win the penalty. Steyn clears to touch over halfway but France look threatening in open play.
27 PENALTY, SOUTH AFRICA, STEYN! 0-10: No problems with the turf for Steyn whose kick glides over to give the Springboks a healthy cushion.
25 Parra clears but SA come charging back through Le Roux's kick. Botha trying to maintain possession but that ball is lost forward for a French scrum. All the territory going SA's way and they then win a scrum penalty on Mtawarira's side. Steyn going for goal.
24 Lineout won by Van der Merwe. Le Roux nearly puts Habana away but the veteran winger can't quite reel in the pass. French scrum right on the far touchline outside their 22.
23 Springbok maul goes to ground and then the ball is turned brilliantly by France, Parra clearing with a box kick. Good clearance.
20 Poor kick from Pietersen hands Dulin a half-break as the full-back reaches halfway. Turned over by Louw and du Plessis, Le Roux kicking ahead and Fofana under pressure manages to put it into touch.
18 Slip at the back of SA lineout means the ball lands France's way, with Tales clearing deep. Up and under from Le Roux falls Parra's way. Coming back for a scrum off an SA hand to France on the far side.
16 Etzebeth replaced by Botha. Lineout won by Chouly and Parra box kicks. Cleared by Steyn to Huget whose pass to Dulin is awful, putting the full-back under pressure but somehow France recover. Parra sucked in so Maestri passes to Tales who clears to touch.
14 Parra tries a dink over the told but the bounce falls Pietersen's way - not for the first time - as the Boks recover and Pienaar kicks high. Guitoune runs the ball back well before France go wide but are shut down early by Fourie. Kicking from both teams ends with a good kick from Le Roux for a French lineout back in their half.
13 Solid scrum from the Springboks and Pienaar's kick wins important territory back down in the French half.
12 Tales' high kick causes problems for Le Roux but the ball goes forward off a French hand. Another scrum back on the spot of the previous series.
10 Turf gives way under Parra's boot as he goes to strike and a simple penalty turns into a miss. Shocking state of the turf so early on.
8 Chouly with a one-handed pick up from the base. France building phases outside the SA 22, making little ground. Fofana skipping his way up the middle as the phases mount and then France win a penalty, Louw penalised for not rolling away. Kickable.
6 Scrum reversed France's way as we go through a series of resets. France looking for a foothold after that early shock when Parra was charged down. Wayne Barnes checks one side, and now the other as we reset for a fourth time.
5 Ball off the top as Fofana carries up. Ball disappears into the tackle as SA hold the ball up through du Plessis and Oosthuizen - Springbok scrum on their 22.
3 Steyn clears to touch following the restart for a French lineout well in the SA half.
2 TRY, SOUTH AFRICA, PIETERSEN! 0-7: Mixed kick from both teams as Chouly concedes a penalty, Steyn kicking to touch but not finding it in the French 22. Parra looking to clear and Pietersen chases it down and scores! Sharp work from Pietersen to pounce there and give the Springboks the perfect start. Steyn converts.
0 Formal proceedings drawn to a close, it's to get this potentially explosive encounter underway. Tales to kick off for France - here we go!
0 A clear, dry but chilly night in Paris should ensure plenty of running rugby. We're ready for the anthems.
0 France and South Africa walk out side by side at a venue where the Springboks have never beaten Les Bleus.
0 South Africa have made six changes to their starting XV, with Morné Steyn back at fly-half. Tendai Mtawarira, Bismarck du Plessis, Eben Etzebeth and Steyn all return to the starting line-up after last weekend's 28-0 win over Scotland in Edinburgh. After an impressive performance against Scotland, Coenie Oosthuizen will be in the starting line-up for the first time after 13 appearances off the bench. He takes over at tighthead prop from the injured Frans Malherbe, with the uncapped Lourens Adriaanse coming onto the bench.
0 France have named their team to face South Africa on Saturday with just one change made to the starting XV that played the All Blacks a fortnight ago. For the first time, coach Philippe Saint-André has retained his half-back pairing for three consecutive Tests as Rémi Talès and Morgan Parra continue to lead the French attack. There are however a number of changes to the bench with prop Thomas Domingo, loose forward Yannick Nyanga, playmaker Frédéric Michalak and big centre Mathieu Bastareaud added. There is also a start for lock Yoann Maestri, despite him having been sent off for fighting against Tonga.
0 Hello and welcome to Paris as South Africa finish off their year by taking on France.

Harley's New Adventures
(Page 5 of 10: Viewing Diary Entry 41 to 50)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
My first visit to Deaconess Hospital in Oklahoma CityMarch 20th 2010 7:37 am
[ View A Comments (11) ]
We arrived at 2:15 and met with Chaplins Poteat and Howard. Chaplin Howard took us on our rounds of the hospital. We visited 5th and 6th floors and went to both CCU's and Dialysis. Harley was excited but calmed down after 10 minutes and boy did he go to work! He met all of the nursing staff and the CEO. After we left the first CCU one of the nurses came up to us to tell us that a patient smiled for the first time since arriving! We started getting request to visit the CCU waiting rooms and calls from 4th floor to please visit. Upon arriving at the CCU waiting room we met 14 people from one family and Harley went to each and everyone of them and then prayers were said by Chaplain Howard as we all held hands. Harley behaved beautifully during prayers. A lady requested we visit one room and the lady was receiving breathing treatments. We put a towel on the bed and Harley lay down beside her as she stroked him and smiled. He had not encountered this type of equipment and he cocked his head and watched with a serious look on his face but again was not intimidated by the noise the machine made. Isolation rooms were encountered and the nurses requested that we stand outside the rooms so the patients could at least see Harley. The Chaplain exclaimed many times to the staff that Harley was amazing as he never one "marked his territory"! I told him he never, ever does that. We finally walked out the front door at 4:45. I was very proud of Harley and he was one tired pup on the ride home.
Harley's Hi-Lites a Suprise Therapy Dog Visit!March 13th 2010 11:08 am
[ View A Comments (5) ]
Well mom got me up early this morning for a bath, blow dry and a tooth brushing, so I knowed a Therapy Dog visit was in store for me. I gots my vest on and in the car we went. Now I a pretty smart pup and was so sure I was going to my regular place, but that was not to be. We drove for an hour, or a day or somethin like that and we finally arrived!!! Momma's boss (her daddy) had been real sick and in the ICU for over 70 days and was now at a rehab center. We waited at the elevator and when the doors opened this man said..... Look its a schnauzer! He gots 3 of them at home and was worried they wouldn't member him. We got special permission to come to this center just to visit him. Well, I say to him Howdy! I here just to see you this day! Boy oh boy he was so excited cause I looks just like his one schnauzie and so I got to sit in his lap and he petted and petted me and I gave him kisses and I stay wif him for 45 minutes. His family was so excited and mom was proud of me and I did some obedience for him and he laughed and said was a good schnauzie boy I was. This is what my therapy dog job is all about!!!!! We said our goodbye's and I slept all the way home. This was a very good day!

Well, mom came home and decided it was time for poo pick-up in da yard. It was nice and Sophie Claire and I were busy in the yard. So she is working away and that pesky neighbor dog came out that never stops barking at me. So of course, I had to respond to that pesky dog that never stops barking. Up and down the fence I go letting that dog know that I was telling him to be quiet. Mom would say to me......Harley Davidson STOP! Meanwhile the poo bag is getting pretty full and mom decided she needed another bag. She looks up and here I come. She gasps when she sees me! I am no longer a salt and pepper schnauzer - I am a brown wet muddy schnauzer! She races to the doggie door, but I beat her and in the house I go. I run around the living room, through the kitchen into the bedroom and on to momma's bed. She sees the diaster area and says INTO YOUR KENNEL RIGHT NOW HARLEY DAVIDSON!!!!!! Poor momma, she had to clean the rugs, mop the kitchen floor, shampoo the bedroom carpet and wash the bedspread. Then my little white crate pad was now brown. I hear the water running in the sink and then she comes and gets me. SCRUB, SHAMPOO, SCRUB, RINSE, MORE SHAMPOO! I am now back to a salt and pepper schnauzer. I sure hope momma still loves me. Dang that pesky neighbor dog that never stops barking!

She looks and sees these emails with rosettes for me and she finally sees the one from Dogster saying that I was a Diary Pick of the Day! Woooohoooo and Arroooooo and I do my happy dance with my stubby wagging all over the bedroom. Thank you Dogster and all of my pals who have sent me such wonderful rosettes and pmails. Life is good!
Hope Santa Paws Can Find Us!December 24th 2009 1:06 pm

Wow, this morning we started with rain, then sleet, then snow and 55 mile an hour winds! You have to understand that Oklahoma does not have blizzards. The interstates are now all closed in all directions and the turnpike is closed to the Texas line. The govenor has declared a state of emergency and the National Guard has been called out! Mom went to let us out the back door and the snow was over the doggie door! She finally got out the back door and got the snow shoveled so we can potty. Well........ out the doggie door I go and I was plowing through 4 foot drifts. Momma finally got me inside and had a big towel ready to dry me off. So far we have 7 inches of snow and hopefully the power will stay on. All airports are shut down. This is only the 13th time that Oklahoma has had snow for Christmas!!!!!! I sure hope Santa Paws can find our house!

Our furiend Spike went to the Bridge today after a very courageous battle with cancer. Mom's eyes are leaking a whole bunch and Sophie Claire and I are trying to help her. Spike's mom did everything that any human being could possibly do and our hearts are sad and we know how much she loved Spike. We do however, know in our hearts, that there is a special place in God's heaven for all of our babies. We know that they are free of all pain and waiting to see us when we get there. We send our love to Ramona and her family and hold them close to us at this time. God Bless.

Well, last Saturday morning mom and I loaded up the car and took off for Iowa to visit my pal Sebastian! Now I have never been on a long road trip and I wasn't sure was was happening. I rode in my carrier in the back seat with my favorite doggie bed and was real comfy. When momma would stop for gas I got out and got to walk around and smell all the new smells. Well, it seemed like furever but soon we got to Sebastians house. Sebastian was there to meet me and boy howdy did we have super fantastic time together. He showed me all the deer that live around them and big birds he called wild turkey!!!!!!! Our moms dressed us alike and I took Bastian a collar and charm so we would be twinkies! We gots to go in the car twice and went over to Omaha to see the sights and finally to Petsmart to shop. We both would climb up on the recliner with his dad and watch the football games. I had the bestest time ever! Its great to finally meet my best buddy!

Mom has been acting mysterious all week around the house. She has been taking all kinds of things out of hiding and putting them in bags and then putting them in the garage. Then she gets a suitcase out and starts putting all kinds of stuff in it. Sophie and I follow her around and watch and smell everything! Then, this morning, she takes Sophie Claire's most favorite doggy bed of all and puts in in the car! She also loads up a couple of bags and tells us she will be right back.

Well, this morning mom gives me a bath YUK (I smell like a coconut) and then brushes my teefers and then the blow dryer! Pretty soon out comes my Therapy Dog vest, on it goes and off we go in the car to the nursing home. I am always excited when mom pulls in and I start Arrooooing all over the place. When we gets in the door there a several nurses and patients and they all say Hello Harley Davidson! Course I gots to go say hi to all of the peoples. I find my Mr. John and up I goes in his lap and boy he gives good pats and sugars! We also have a lady assigned to us that has MS and cannot talk. Mom and I stuck our heads in the door last week and mom lifted me up so she could see me and she smiled! Well this week, she awake and mom knocks on her door and says I have someone her to visit you, its Harley Davidson! So mom picks me up so the lady can see me and she smile really big this time. So mom talks to her some and she asks her if she would like us to continue our visits and she shook her head yes and her eyes just twinkled. So, I went to rooms and visited with all of the residents and then it was time for lunch. I walked right by the dining room (it smelled pretty durn good) without stopping. We only supposed to be seeing two of the patients, but my list gets longer every week! I sure do like this Therapy Dog job alot!

North Korea's armed forces on Tuesday threatened to attack South Korea if "anti-North Korean" activities did not stop, media reports said.
Pyongyang was angry over a demonstration in Seoul on Monday where a portrait of the North's former leader Kim Jong Il was burned, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.
"The supreme command of the Korean People's Army Tuesday issued an ultimatum to the South Korean puppet group," reported the Korean Central News Agency, the North's official news agency.
The military called the burning an "atrocious, unforgivable act." Pyongyang demanded an apology for anti-North Korean acts and said it would retaliate without warning if they did not stop.
South Korea's Defence Ministry said it was monitoring the situation.
"It is regrettable that North Korea threatens (the South)," ministry spokesman Kim Min Seok said. "We are closely watching the North Korean military's move and stand firm against any provocations." North Korea on Monday marked the 101st anniversary of the birth of state founder Kim Il Sung, grandfather of current leader Kim Jong Un and father of Kim Jong Il.
There were fears that Pyongyang would mark the day with a missile launch as a show of military might despite warnings from the United States that it would be a "huge mistake." But no test launch was conducted and instead musical shows, group dancing, a sports competition and floral offerings were held during the so-called Day of the Sun.
The muted celebrations were held as US Secretary of State John Kerry and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe agreed to work closely toward reining in North Korea's provocative behaviour.
Mr. Kerry said Pyongyang needs to take "meaningful steps" towards denuclearisation to be able to resume six-party talks involving the Koreas, Japan, the US, Russia and China.
The talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear programmes stalled in 2009.

Mapping users plot new ways to share
The proposed joint program between the OpenGIS Consortium Inc. and the International Alliance for Interoperability aims to make computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and geographic information systems interoperable. Both communities use geospatial information but provide services for very different sets of end users.
The program would first define a common model for overlapping areas of interest and then generate mechanisms for exchanging useful information between them. The understanding is that neither community would need access to every piece of data each generates. Both CADD and GIS tools are used for construction and facilities management, but until recently, users looked at them as separate disciplines calling for little interaction. The push for greater sharing of information — and the belated realization that better analysis would result from this sharing — has increased the need for interoperability. The two groups have been looking for sources of funding, including the government, for pilot projects that would demonstrate the development and feasibility of CADD/GIS interoperability.

Advances in DNA sequencing technology and the interpretation of the acquired data have fueled advances in genomics and its application in the delivery of personalized healthcare. Illumina recently announced a new milestone that will move the industry in ways that are yet to be realized, or even envisioned – a DNA sequencing super computer (HiSeqX) designed to process 20,000 genomes per year at a cost of $1,000 each. It is reported that the current cost to sequence a human genome is about $10,000. Illumina's a high-speed, relatively low cost HiSeqX sequencer is expected to remove barriers to wide spread genomic data collection by lowering the cost and increasing the speed of sequencing, which in turn will allow even more sophisticated analysis and the application of that information to treat and prevent disease.
But in the near term, where are the opportunities in genomic medicine? Dr. Eric Green, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) speaking at the 2014 Silicon Valley Personalized Medicine World Conference (PMWC) "The Arrival of Actionable Personalized Medicine: The Age of Guided Disease Management" reported on the NHGRI's "hot topics" list for 2014.
The PMWC is reported to be dedicated to the global adoption of personalized medicine. Silicon Valley investors and entrepreneurs launched the conference in 2009.

1. Technical Field
The present invention relates in general to the field of computers, and in particular to multiple blade servers housed in a server chassis. Still more particularly, the present invention relates to a method and system for a remote management module taking over operation of a server chassis if the server chassis' internal management modules fail.
2. Description of the Related Art
Server blade computers offer high-density server boards (blades) in a single server blade chassis (blade center chassis). A typical server blade computer is illustrated in
Another function of management module 108 is to control a power module 110 and cooling fans 112. The coordinated management of power module 110 and cooling fans 112 permits the server blades 104 to operate within their designed temperature ranges. That is, additional power demands from power module 110 generally translate into additional cooling demands from cooling fans 112, requiring them to be turned on or operated at a higher speed. Failure to properly control the cooling of server blade chassis 102 and the server blades 104 contained therein can be catastrophic, including permanent damage to the server blades 104 and circuitry associated with server blade chassis 102. Thus, if both management modules 108 should fail, then the temperature control is lost.
What is needed, therefore, is a method and system for providing a remote failover management module. Preferably, the failover management module would be activated by the detection of a failure of the server blade chassis' internal management module(s), followed by the reallocation of external management module resources.
Therefore, the present invention is directed to a method and system for a failover management module for a server blade chassis. A virtual out-of-band network connects management modules in different server blade chassis. Upon a detection of a failure of the management module(s) in a first server blade chassis, a management module in a second server blade chassis takes over control of the first server blade chassis.
The above, as well as additional objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent in the following detailed written description.
The novel features believed characteristic of the invention are set forth in the appended claims. The invention itself, however, as well as a preferred mode of use, further purposes and advantages thereof, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, where:
With reference now to
Server blade chassis 200 a has one or more management modules 202. As depicted, server blade chassis 200 a has a primary management module 202 a and a back-up management module 202 b. Each management module 202 is capable of managing multiple server blades 204. During normal operations, one of the local management modules 202 a or 202 b are coupled to server blades 204 a-n via a Local Area Network (LAN) 240 a, a midplane 206, and a plurality of Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) 208 (each server blade 204 having a BMC 208) to form an in-band management pathway LAN 240 and BMC 208 are discussed in further detail below.
Midplane 206 is a backplane, mounted in the middle of server blade chassis 200 a, that contains circuitry and sockets 222 into which additional electronic devices or cards, including server blades 204 can be plugged. Midplane 206 contains at least one bus for secure in-band internal communication between management module 202 and server blades 204 a-n, as well as between and among server blades 204 a-n themselves, via respective BMCs 208 a-n.
When a server blade 204 is plugged into a specific socket 222, a physical address is established for that server blade 204. For example, consider server blade 204 a being plugged into socket 222 a. A control logic, depicted as 12C logic 224 a, which is compliant with the Phillips' Inter-IC (Inter-Integrated Circuit) standard (incorporated by reference in its entirety herein and commonly referred to as "I2C"), detects the presence of server blade 204 a in socket 222 a. I2C logic 224 a, operating in conjunction with management module 202, assigns a physical address on a bus in midplane 206 to server blade 204 a when server blade 204 a is plugged into socket 222 a. Preferably, each server blade 204 is associated with a unique I2C logic 224, which is preferably connected to midplane 206 as depicted in
Alternatively, each server blade 204 may have a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address on midplane 206. That is, midplane 206 may support intercommunication using IP addressing protocol, in which each device connected or coupled to midplane 206 contains an IP address assigned by logic (not shown) that is either within or outside server blade chassis 200. For example, a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server 114, as shown in
Each server blade 204 has at least one central processing unit (CPU) 212, and a non-volatile memory (NVM) 214. Preferably, NVM 214 is a Flash Read Only Memory ("Flash ROM" or "Flash Memory"), which can be erased and reprogrammed in units of memory called blocks. NVM 214 may also include non-volatile Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), which is similar to Flash Memory except that EEPROM is erased and rewritten at the byte level, and is usually smaller in capacity than the flash memory.
When a server blade 204 is shipped from a manufacturer, the NVM 214 is typically pre-burned with firmware, including a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) as well as software for monitoring the server blade 204. Such monitoring may include controlling Direct Access Storage Devices (DASD's), monitoring and controlling voltages throughout the system, determining the power-on status of the server blade 204, requesting access to a shared keyboard, video, mouse, Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) and/or floppy disk drives, as well as monitoring the Operating System (OS) running on the server blade 204.
Management modules 202 are capable of detecting the presence, quantity, type and revision level of each server blade 204, power module 210, and midplane 206 in the system. Management modules 202 can also directly control the operation of each server blade 204 and the power module 210, and can directly (without using the BIOS in the server blades 204) or indirectly (using the BIOS) control the operation of cooling fans 215. More about how a management module 202 directly controls the operation of cooling fans 215 is discussed below.
Each server blade 204 has a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) 208, which provides local supervisory control of the server blade 204 to which it is associated. Each BMC 208 is able to communicate with a local management module 202 by either using LAN 240 a (in-band network) or alternatively by using switches 242 a and NICs 226 (out-of-band network).
LAN 240 is an in-band network, preferably comporting with the Electronics Industry Association (EIA) RS485 Standard for data communication. Management modules 202 (either primary management module 202 a or back-up management module 202 b if management module 202 a is down) communicate via LAN 240 with BMC 208, which includes logic for coordinating communication with server blades 204 via sockets 222. That is, the primary communication pathway between management module 202 and server blades 204 is the in-band network that comprises LAN 240, sockets 222, and BMC 208. The secondary communication pathway, which is used in the present invention if all of the local management modules 202 should fail, is the out of band network that comprises switches 242 and NICs 226.
Each BMC 208 can communicate directly with cooling fans 215, preferably via midplane 206 on an I2C channel under the control of an I2C logic 224. For example, management module 202 a can communicate with a BMC such as BMC 208 a, in order to control the operation of cooling fans 215. In a preferred embodiment, BMC's 208 have a backup hierarchy. That is, if BMC 208 a, which had been designated as the BMC through which management module 202 a communicates with cooling fans 215, is inoperable, then management module 202 a will communicate with cooling fans 215 via an alternate BMC, such as BMC 208 b. If BMC 208 b is also inoperable, then alternate BMCs 208 are tried, according to a predetermined hierarchy, until an operable BMC is located. This BMC hierarchy of backups is used whether the in-band or out-of-band network is in use.
With reference now to
With reference now to
Each management module in the blade center (server blade chassis) is configured with a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) identifier (ID). The VLAN defines (maps) management modules according to their physical location (which server blade chassis houses the management module) as well as the failover hierarchy of the management modules, as described in further detail below in block 310.
Each management module configures network switches over an I2C channel in the server blade chassis containing that management module. Referring again to
At step 308 in
At step 310, failover support presence and hierarchy is determined. For example, consider the management modules 202 depicted in
With reference again to
If pinging determines that both the primary and backup management module(s) are inoperable, then the failover management module immediately takes control over the server blade chassis having the failed management modules (block 316). In a preferred embodiment, this control, which includes but is not limited to control of operation of the cooling fans in the server blade chassis having the failed management modules, is implemented through communication with the Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) that has supervisory control of the cooling fans in the failed chassis, preferably using the protocol established in the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification, Version 2.0 or later, established by Intel, Hewlett-Packard, NEC and Dell, and herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Preferably, this control is initiated by a command from the VLAN that coupled the first and second server blade chassis that respectively house the failover (backup) and the failed (inoperable) management module.
The control of the remote server blade chassis by the failover management module continues until commanded to cease (block 320), preferably by a signal from the originally failed management module indicating that the failed management module is once again operational. Alternatively, the backup control by the failover management module continues until instructed by a system administrator or a software management routine.
The present invention thus provides a reliable method and system for monitoring management modules for failure, and automatically providing a failover management module (reallocating another management module) to back up the failed management modules, preferably when all management modules in a server blade chassis fail contemporaneously.
It should be understood that at least some aspects of the present invention may alternatively be implemented in a program product. Programs defining functions on the present invention can be delivered to a data storage system or a computer system via a variety of signal-bearing media, which include, without limitation, non-writable storage media (e.g., CD-ROM), writable storage media (e.g., a floppy diskette, hard disk drive, read/write CD ROM, optical media), and communication media, such as computer and telephone networks including Ethernet. It should be understood, therefore in such signal-bearing media when carrying or encoding computer readable instructions that direct method functions in the present invention, represent alternative embodiments of the present invention. Further, it is understood that the present invention may be implemented by a system having means in the form of hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware as described herein or their equivalent.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Even the New York Post, proving that its favorite pastime remains kicking those who are down, chose the moment to run its first editorial denunciation of the party, calling it "little more than a patronage mill." Allowing that the liberals deserved credit for the election of Rudy Giuliani as mayor in 1993, the Post hit squad went on to chide party boss Ray Harding, stating that the loss "was the inevitable end result when a political party no longer stands for anything but its own leaders' personal interests."
To have pointed out that the chief dispenser of that patronage was none other than Giuliani himself would have violated the tabloid's sporting rules, since Giuliani's star remains ascendant while Harding's has crashed and burned. Had the Post looked, it would have found the tattered remains of the party in the patronage holdovers from the Giuliani administration who dutifully anted up more than half the contributions in the party's last campaign filings.
The rest of the party's cash (it claimed just $56,000 in its state and federal accounts going into the race) flowed from members of Harding's once mighty law firm, Fischbein Badillo Wagner and Harding. At the height of the Giuliani era, the law firm boasted more than 70 lobbying clients. The list included contractors and developers, hospitals and colleges, advertisers and insurers, unions and employers; anyone, in short, seeking favor or consideration from City Hall. But a review of the firm's clients as of last week's election showed only half that number remain. The firm's main lobbying practice now is aiding those seeking zoning variances from the city's Board of Standards and Appeals, an agency where one of Harding's Liberal Party members remains as chairman.
Probably no New Yorker cheered louder at the news that the once mighty Liberals had lost their line than former mayor David Dinkins.
"I wish I was the first person to say the Liberals are neither liberal nor a party," he said. "I've repeated it so many times people think I said it first." (In fact, it was Democrat Mark Green who said it first, back in 1986, when Harding ran a spoiler candidate in that year's Senate election to aid Republican Al D'Amato.)
But Dinkins says his opposition to the party began long before Giuliani, running as a fusion Liberal-Republican, defeated him in 1993.
"I met [Liberal Party founders] Alex Rose and David Dubinsky in 1967, when I was a delegate to the state constitutional convention," he recalled last week. "Later, when I was president of the [city] Board of Elections, Rose was always very correct and proper. I had such respect for them then. But that was a different Liberal Party. It hasn't been like that for a very long time. It has been a patronage mill, that's it."
Before his election as mayor in 1989, Dinkins ran three times for Manhattan borough president, finally winning in 1985. By then, Harding had taken over as party leader. "They didn't support me, ever," said Dinkins. "I'm not sure why. They chose other candidates. When they went for Rudy it became clear, given his posture on issues they claimed to care about, such as affirmative action, and mine, that they weren't really concerned with these things. Rudy attacked me on our women and minority business programs, calling them quotas, which they weren't. But the Liberal platform was in support of efforts like ours."
Dinkins later made a firm decision not to endorse any candidate who also took the Liberal line. "I just decided I couldn't do that any longer. The party was hurting people in the city," he said. He also helped launch the union-based Working Families Party and urged Democrats seeking additional lines to take the WFP endorsement as an alternative to the Liberals.
Dinkins turned out to be firmer in his resolve than the party he helped start. When a longtime friend, then-councilwoman Helen Marshall, ran for Queens borough president this year, Dinkins refused to endorse her because she had also accepted Harding's support. The Working Families Party gave her their line anyway.
"They oughtn't to have done that," said Dinkins.
But Dinkins was more successful with Carl McCall, whose decision not to seek the Liberal line became the instrument of Harding's defeat last week.
"It was bitter for Carl to lose," said Dinkins. "But it was sweet what he did for us."
By the final tally, the Working Families Party is expected to have almost 90,000 votes, well over the 50,000 minimum threshold needed to qualify for state ballot status. The Liberal tally is expected to fall short of 17,000.
Under state election rules, Liberal Party registrants will be officially notified early next year that they must change their party registration in order to remain on the rolls as voters. State records list more than 86,000 such Liberals, but Liberal Party officials say the real number is far less, about 65,000, since county officials haven't purged the rolls in years in some cases.
The Working Families Party will try to persuade those voters to join their ranks, according to party co-chair Bertha Lewis. "We will be writing them, urging them to sign up," she said.

ClassicsOnline Home » CHOPIN: Etudes (Complete) (Cortot, 78 rpm Recordings, Vol. 3) (1933-1949) > Review List
Posterity has judged Alfred Cortot as one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. A multi-faceted musician, conductor and chamber music player, Cortot was renowned above all as a pianist. This Naxos re-issue is the third of five volumes devoted to his 78rpm era recordings of Chopin, featuring at least one version of every published Chopin solo work the pianist recorded during the period. In the July 1933 recording of the Op. 10 Etudes, the listener quickly forgets that these are technical exercises, so poetic and musical are Cortot's performances. His interpretation of the Barcarolle, Op. 60 is noteworthy for the beauty of sound, full and luxurious, and for its unbridled passion.

Using data for quality improvement: Lessons from BUILD Chicago
By Dan Gilbert
In our recent issue brief, we discussed how data can serve as a valuable resource not only for afterschool programs, but also for young people and their families. One program that we had identified as having an exemplary system for using data to continuously improve program quality was BUILD Chicago, an in-school and afterschool program that provides mentorship, academic enrichment, and social and emotional supports to at-risk and underserved youth in Chicago, Illinois.
Since 2010, BUILD has very deliberately worked to improve its data intake system and to expand the quantity and types of data that it collects, using this data to create a powerful program improvement cycle. We recently had the opportunity to speak with BUILD's Director of Operations and Quality Improvement, Bessie Alcantara, who shared some valuable insights about how this dramatic shift came to be.
Ms. Alcantara originally considered overhauling BUILD's data collection out of frustration. In 2010, only half of BUILD's program sites were providing timely and accurate data and case notes about program outcomes. Getting programs to comply with data collection requirements was a consistent problem. As BUILD considered a variety of options for improving BUILD's data collection and use, the organization's leadership began working with external evaluators to identify a set of common goals between their programs. They used these goals to identify a set of tools around measurable outcomes, and ultimately merged the tools into a single data intake form that sites could use to capture the information that BUILD needed for both internal and external purposes.

Lights On Afterschool poster contest deadline extended: Flash back to past winners for inspiration!
By Rachel Clark
|2014 winner: Ashley Parker
Good news, afterschool artists: The deadline for submitting entries to the 2015 Lights On Afterschool poster contest has been extended to July 1. If you've got submissions coming along that are close but not quite done, now you've got some extra time to put on the finishing touches. This is also great news for summer program participants, who may now have a chance to take part in this opportunity to have their artwork displayed at thousands of Lights On Afterschool events worldwide!
On #FlashbackFriday, one way for young artists to find inspiration for their submissions is to check out the creations of past contest winners—we're always amazed to see how many unique interpretations young artists create to illustrate what afterschool means to them!
|2012 winner: Felix Sanchez
Last year's winner, New Mexico's Ashley Parker, represented the Blended Zine afterschool program at her local library by drawing a colorful, Broadway-inspired design. Felix Sanchez, of the Schools-ACE program in Pasadena, TX, brought together his interests in drawing, soccer, and more to highlight the opportunities he's had afterschool. Another Texan, Nicole Tanner of Birdville Independent School District's ASPIRE, also illustrated the diverse activities offered afterschool, from academic enrichment to sports to STEAM. Even more past winners can be found in the Afterschool Storybook.
Feeling inspired? Read up on our contest guidelines to make sure artists' hard work follows our rules for submission. The most important guideline: Be as creative as possible—we can't wait to see what afterschool artists come up with this year!

Bridging the Generation Gap with Chess (Wall Street Journal, New York)
Teenagers and senior citizens are learning to play chess together at Dorot, a Jewish social services agency on the Upper West Side. Inspired by his chess-based friendship with 91-year-old Herman Bomze, 14-year-old Zach Targoff donated his bar mitzvah money to fund the program, paying for staff, refreshments, transportation for the seniors, and chess equipment and training. The players meet once a week after school during the year, and many of them continue to play throughout the summer. "Teens go to seniors' homes and bring the chessboard with them," Dorot's director of volunteer services Judith Turner told the Wall Street Journal. "We were so amazed by the outpouring of interest."
Knitting Club Teaches Students Fun Skills and Helping Others (Pickerington Times-Sun, Ohio)
For years, Denise Yauch has been a fixture at Tussing Elementary School – she could always be seen knitting at a number of her grandson's school programs. Last year, she decided to spread her love of knitting to a new generation by hosting an afterschool program that encourages students to keep up with their classwork, improves teamwork and socialization and teaches them a lifelong skill. "To watch them grow from, 'I don't know how to hold a needle,' to casting on has been a delight," she told the Pickerington Times-Sun. Almost 50 third- and fourth-grade girls meet three times a week to learn basic knitting techniques and create scarves, blankets and much more.
'Fab Five' Kids with Water App Idea Raise $51,000 (Fresno Bee, California)
Thanks to five tech-savvy elementary school students, Fresno residents may soon be able to receive real-time updates about their water usage to their computers or smart phones. The students first thought up the water-saving app as part of their FIRST Lego League robotics competition project, an afterschool program that requires participants to come up with a project that could positively impact society. After pitching the idea to a crowd of parents, business and city leaders, the students raised $51,000 to fund the development of the app that could be ready by September. "We didn't really think it was going to happen. It might do some good if it did, but (we thought) we'd never get the funding or someone to do it," eleven-year-old Jeffrey told the Fresno Bee. "Now we get to be part of it and learn how coders do things."
Afterschool Program Helps Kids Stay Out of Trouble (KWWL, Iowa)
'Dare to be King,' an afterschool program at Mount Carmel Baptist Church, is trying to curb violence in Waterloo. The program gives kids a safe space to relax, talk about life and learn how to avoid or mitigate dangerous situations. "I like that they teach you to make the right decision when you're getting stopped by the police or in a bad situation," participant Camren Montgomery told KWWL. Program organizer Felecia Carter says one of the most important missions of the group is to prevent students from getting involved in local gangs. "I wish I could help everybody, but I know that if other churches open up their door and allow organizations to come in and hold programs, that will be so much more of a positive outcome," she said.

New Harvard Family Research Project commentary: Why student engagement matters
"Leave Them Wanting More!: Engaging Youth in Afterschool," a new commentary out of the Harvard Family Research Project, discusses the importance of youth engagement in students' learning, relationship building and development, and the vital role afterschool programs play in engaging youth with the learning opportunities around them. The commentary delves into four dimensions of engagement: 1) cognitive engagement, 2) behavioral engagement, 3) social engagement and 4) emotional engagement. The piece not only calls attention to the need to create environments that engage students in these various dimensions, but outlines the many ways afterschool programs are encouraging student engagement. Below are a few examples of steps programs can take and have taken to leave students wanting more:
- Cognitive engagement: Steps programs can take within this engagement dimension that deals with critical thinking, problem solving, developing new skills and learning new information include offering new activities that youth express an interest in; customizing and scaffolding activities that can facilitate students moving up the learning ladder; and providing encouragement and support to students as they navigate challenging activities and situations.
- Behavioral engagement: Practices to support behavioral engagement—which refers to the attendance, behavior and participation of students in afterschool programs—include creating an environment where students can have fun and feel safe and relaxed, providing stability through the intentional structuring of the program, and offering a variety of learning experiences—such as field trips and technology training—to grow attendance and participation in programs.
- Social engagement: Helping youth to feel like part of a community includes designing activities that create meaningful and positive group interactions, offering activities and devices that spur communication and collaboration, and building a sense of community for youth, both within and outside of the afterschool program.
- Emotional engagement: Emotional engagement, referring to students feeling accepted and appreciated for who they are, can be supported through practices such as encouraging meaningful relationships between program staff and students and providing students leadership roles within the program.
"Leave Them Wanting More!: Engaging Youth in Afterschool" also includes data from Afterschool Alliance's America After 3PM survey, which finds that parents view afterschool programs not only as a space that keeps their children safe, but also as an enriching learning environment. The commentary is a part of the latest edition of the FINE Newsletter, which you can access on the Harvard Family Research Project's website.

This Memorial Day, think about inviting your elected officials for a site visit
By Rachel Clark
With Congress preparing to head home for the Memorial Day recess, now is the perfect time to think about inviting a Member of Congress to stop by your afterschool program while they're back in your district. This year is a critical time for federal afterschool funding—giving Members of Congress and Senators the chance to experience the impact afterschool programs are having in their local community is invaluable!
To help make your event a success, we've put together a step-by-step planning guide including a target timeline and sample schedule, as well as case studies of site visits other programs have hosted. If you've never invited an elected official to your program before, you may be surprised to see how easy and rewarding the process can be! The all-inclusive guide also includes links to tools you can use to attract press coverage of your event, giving you a great opportunity to increase community awareness of your program while you build a relationship with your representative and their staff.
If the week of Memorial Day is too soon for you to plan a site visit, don't worry—if your program is open during the summer break, there are plenty of opportunities later in the summer when your representatives will be back home. Check the House and Senate calendars to find a time that works for you and for your elected officials.
Inviting policy makers to visit your afterschool program is a powerful way to help them understand the value your program brings to the community. Having spent the spring working hard to call on Congress to protect afterschool, now is the perfect time to make this personal connection with your representatives!

Kids and Yoga Make for Relaxing Combination at Showell (Delmarva Now, Maryland)
An afterschool yoga class at Showell elementary is improving student wellness and helping kids unwind after a long day in the classroom. During the 50-minute class, pre-kindergarten teacher Amy Braciszewski leads students through a variety of poses, teaching them each pose's Sanskrit name along the way. Assistant principal Joshua Hamborsky thinks the afterschool program is teaching kids a good way to work through their problems. "It's not fluff," he told Delmarva Now. "The course offers powerful breathing, thinking and mental exercises to help students cope with anxiety and stresses."
Kids Learn Fitness, Life Skills from Circus Staff (Bloomington Pantagraph, Illinois)
Twenty-three Cedar Ridge Elementary School students participated in a unique physical education class last week when Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey circus performers visited their afterschool program. A clown taught them about healthy eating and several other performers, including a dancer and four unicyclists, taught them to juggle, hula hoop and jump rope. "CircusFit is designed to get kids moving and show that exercise can be fun," Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey's Jillian Kaplan told the Bloomington Pantagraph. "Hula-hooping and jumping rope are everyday skills that children can become proficient at instead of sitting and playing video games." Students even got a bit of a performance from the King Charles Unicycle Troupe, who shot hoops and jumped rope while on their unicycles.
Students Design Prosthetics, Compete for First Place at Oregon MESA Day (Oregonian, Oregon)
At the 15th annual Oregon MESA Day Middle and High School Engineering and Science competition, more than 350 students showed off the inventions they had created that year through their STEM-based afterschool program. Oregon MESA (Mathematics Engineers Science Achievement) targets students typically underrepresented in STEM fields, pairing them with mentors who help them develop projects to present at the year-end competition. One group of students from Franklin High created a prosthetic arm out of cardboard tubes, clamps, metal tongs and rubber bands, which they used to pick up and move items and fasten screws to a wooden board. "My touchstone is just watching the kids go crazy," MESA board chair Kevin Bell told the Oregonian. "They walk away basically believing 'I can do this.' It's contagious."
MDC Students Mentor Children through Literacy Program (Miami Herald, Florida)
With the help of mentors from Miami Dade College (MDC), seven-year-old Diana Arellano wrote a story about reuniting with her sister in Mexico and ten-year-old Joan Espinosa created an action-packed graphic novel about superheroes, the Miami Herald reports. The students are part of Pages for All Ages, an afterschool literacy program for students from the large population of migrant farm workers and low-income families living in South Miami Dade. Each semester, kids are matched with MDC students who help them improve their reading and writing skills. The stories they create are then hardbound and displayed at the college library.

New findings on high school graduation rates are in...
…And overall, the outlook is positive, with the nation's high school graduation rate reaching 81.4 percent—the highest it has ever been. Last week, the 2015 edition of Building a Grad Nation: Progress and Challenge in Ending the High School Dropout Epidemic was released and found that for the third year in a row, graduation rates have stayed on target to reach the goal of a 90 percent graduation rate by 2020. The report by Civic Enterprises and the Everyone Graduates Center at Johns Hopkins University's School of Education, and in partnership with America's Promise Alliance and the Alliance for Excellent Education, uncovers that increased graduation rates among Hispanic and African-American students, a decrease in the number of "dropout factories"(high schools with low graduation rates), and 29 states reaching at least the national graduation rate average of 81.4 percent, have helped to move the national graduation rate closer to the 90 percent graduation rate goal.
To continue to increase graduation rates and reach the 90 percent high school graduation rate target by 2020, Building a Grad Nation singles out five key drivers to focus on:
