Ramsay rips apart wife's fam
Ramsay and Hutcheson
The split between Gordon Ramsay and his father-in-law, who ran the TV chef's sprawling business empire, is getting ugly.
Chris Hutcheson, the father of Ramsay's wife, Tana, says the foul-mouthed TV star has turned his daughter against her parents and that he's never gotten an explanation for his spectacular firing two weeks ago.
"I don't know why he is like this," Hutcheson told London's Mail on Sunday newspaper in an extraordinary interview.
"He has only got one friend and that was me. Now he has locked me out of the business and sacked me and tried to make me the scapegoat, the bad guy."
Hutcheson, 62, ran Ramsay's company since 1998, shortly after his daughter and Ramsay were married.
"Gordon is like Pinocchio," said Hutcheson. "He is a very attractive puppet, and kids love him. He is painted nice colors, has a big nose which is funny and is full of charisma.
"After a while, though, Pinocchio decides that he is what the show is all about. He doesn't need a puppet master so he cuts the strings, and he falls down in a heap. That is what it is all about."
Hutcheson says Ramsay's lawyer delivered the bad news two weeks ago in a letter.
"Gordon wasn't there," he said. "I knew not to call him, and he knew not to be around when there is a public hanging."
Worse, he says, his daughter had taken his grandchildren to LA the day before, so she would not be in London when her father was sacked.
"It is a hugely awkward situation with my daughter married to him," Hutcheson says. "How would it feel for any man to lose a daughter? And that is what has happened. Tana doesn't speak to [her mother] Greta. She hasn't replied to any calls, texts or emails from my wife. There is a huge fallout from this."
Reports that Hutcheson took more than $2 million in loans out of the company when it was in financial straits last year, he told the paper, are a smokescreen.
"I have taken money out of the company," he said. "just as Gordon would do, in the normal course of events. And it was registered immediately in the directors' loan account.
"I haven't used it unethically, without anyone knowing, without accountants knowing or Gordon knowing.
"I don't know if Tana believes these lies [about me]. I think she knows I am an honest person," he said. "She has known her dad a long time but she is stuck in the middle."
A spokesperson for Gordon Ramsay said, "Gordon and Tana are shocked and saddened by Chris' actions. It has been made very clear to Chris why his position with the company had become untenable. As far as Gordon and Tana are concerned this is a private business and family matter and they won't be responding publicly. The provocative and disingenuous tone of Chris' comments will only compound a family rift which the Ramsays hope can be healed with time."

Book Review: America's Great Railroad Stations by Peter Strauss III, Ed Breslin, and Hugh Van Dusen
Posted on May 2, 2019 by Jechiel
The age of the great American railroad, which emerged at the turn of the century, spurred a period of great American railroad stations all coming to fruition at the core of the Industrial Revolution. Now with the world steep in the computer age, the day of the great American railroad and train stations seem to have slipped away, but authors Peter Strauss III, Ed Breslin, and Hugh Van Dusen show that a handful of these period pieces continue to flourish in this modern age.
Their book "America's Great Railroad Stations " from Penguin Books is a detailed encyclopedia of the remaining railroad stations that were born at the height of the Industrial Revolution in America. Stations such as Philadelphia's 30 th Street Station and Washington, D.C.'s Union Station are massive structures that are an integral part of their city's landscape. They can be found on any map of these cities servicing hundreds of thousands of people each day whether in terms of supplying public transportation or in other areas of commercial endeavors such as food courts, gift shops, or convenience and specialty stores. The authors revel in the glorious structures of the American railroad station of yesteryear.
Though antique stations have been converted into museums such as Richmond Virginia's Broad Street Station or operated by Amtrak like the Hudson River Stations and Adirondacks Lines, these structures still rival the grandeur of stations like Gare du Nord in Paris and Charing Cross in London. The authors ruminate about the European features of these structures such as elaborate cornices, Doric columns, domed ceilings with a glass oculus in the center, butterfly canopies, ornamented spires, elaborate mascarons, arched entrance ways, domed rotundas, and stone friezes. They also discuss the materials used to build these multi-ton structures such as rustic brick, durable granite, speckled marble, and classic limestone and terra cotta. It was a time when masonry work was in vast demand, and buildings were complimented by geometrical shapes and art deco floor patterns.
The authors offer a large volume of information regarding turn of the century railroad stations and their historical significance. They show that as communities grew, so too did the American railroad and the train stations which were designed to accommodate the expansion. But as planes and vehicles came into the public market, the need to use the railroad waned. The authors demonstrate how a number of antique railroad stations survived by adapting to the new conditions of their environment and servicing a modern society.

Some people know their children would be at risk for disease. They might know they are at higher risk because of their age, or because they already have an affected child. Other people would like to become parents and do not know what genetic traits might put them at risk.
Parents carrying certain genetic traits will face challenges when trying to have children.
Testing for Genetic Diseases
The reproductive medicine experts at Baystate Health offer Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) to help find and prevent serious genetic diseases in embryos. We use PGT to diagnose genetic diseases like Sickle Cell Anemia, Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy, or Cystic Fibrosis. We also test for a "chromosomal translocution," which is a condition that does not affect the parent but could cause a miscarriage when trying to conceive.
These genetic tests are intended to prevent certain genetic disorders from being passed from parent to child.
There are three types of genetic tests:
PGT-M: testing for single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease
PGT-A: screening embryos for extra or missing chromosomes
PGT-SR: testing embryos for structural chromosome rearrangements
What is the process for PGT?
Testing begins with the normal process of in vitro fertilization (IVF), which includes egg retrieval and fertilization in a laboratory. PGT is done after egg retrieval and before implantation.
We work with a specialized genetics lab to find embryos that are free of genetic problems. Once we find those problem-free embryos, you will continue the IVF process to establish a healthy pregnancy.
Why choose PGT?
If you have had repeated pregnancy loss or repeated IVF failures or if you are over age 35, you may opt for genetic testing. A PGT-A test is used to screen for aneuploidy, a condition (Down's syndrome, for example) where there is an extra or missing chromosome. In most cases, aneuploid embryos will cause miscarriage. PGT can greatly reduce the chance of miscarriage.
Who can benefit from PGT?
Consider PGD if you:
Are a carrier of a sex-linked genetic disorder
Are a carrier of single-gene disorder
Have a chromosomal disorder
Are age 35 and over
Have experienced repeated pregnancy loss
Have had more than one failed fertility treatment

The reason so many liberal churches are empty or mostly populated with aging rationalists who seem to have a somewhat embarrassed attachment to religion, is that trying to reduce spiritual experience to something verifiable is a dead end. It's a dead end for fundamentalists too. Fundamentalists wind up defending myths as historically true. That's as futile as it is for the theological liberals that seek to demystify myths and render the life of the spirit tangible.
If fundamentalist churches seem to be run by paranoid fact-free hysterics liberals seem to approach spirituality as a lifeless rationalist project.
Fundamentalists and theological liberal do share something though: FEAR. They are afraid of being proved wrong and so spend a lot of time defending their theological points of view.
Fear comes from being afraid we're not certain about the facts of faith or non-faith. Atheists and Christians all strive to be correct in our views. But what if the very struggle for certitude is a dead end?
The first thing Jesus said after he was raised from the dead was "Be not afraid." So don't be.
I'm not asking you to imitate my brand of hope-filled Christian uncertainty, but if the subject of Jesus still interests you please consider this: Faith is not about "getting right with God."
Jesus used the Torah against Torah. Jesus used a higher morality of the kingdom of God within us against the law. Every passage in which we read of Jesus reading the Torah he is making his own independent interpretive decisions. For instance, Jesus consistently places love for neighbor above veneration of the law or even ideas of justice. And "neighbor," as Jesus defined that word, is the outcast, the other, the loser, the victim, the hated, the enemy. The neighbor is the enemy we are to love, not in order to save us from God's wrath but to save us from ourselves.
The philosopher René Girard points to a non-retributive understanding of Christ precisely because Girard rejects the retributive "god" followed by so many Roman Catholics and Protestants, not to mention Muslims and Jews. Girard developed the idea that human primates do what all primates do: imitate each other, and that this gives rise to violence. Because we imitate others we imitate their desires. Through this "mimetic desire" we come to want what others want and we kill to get it. That violence is a threat to the survival of the tribe.
What is needed if our faith is to live, is for us to re-mythologize our holy traditions and texts, not to try reduce them to the tidy categories of what is true and what's not true as those terms are used for reading airline schedules. There's another way of seeing things: Something can never have happened and still be true.
Put it this way we're not talking about flying in planes here but about flying dreams. A Bible story can never have taken place in a historic sense but still is truer than what's provable in a chemistry lab. It isn't describing what happened once upon a time but what's always happening. It's telling us why we dream to fly not how airplanes work.
Before there were planes people had flying dreams. The dreams tell us something lasting and authentic about our desire to transcend a mortal earthbound existence. They tell us something more basic and eternal about being a human than anything an engineer at Boeing or Airbus Industries can explain.
The least interesting question about religion is to ask "Did this really happen?
The result of the gospel is the point, not what happened or didn't. The scientific spirit, like the spirit of enterprise is a byproduct of the profound action of the gospel. The modern Western world has forgotten the revelation of the gospel in favor of its mere byproducts, reason and science. As Girard writes in Hidden Things, "I hold the truth is not an empty word, or a mere 'effect' as people say nowadays. I hold that everything capable of diverting us from madness and death, from now on, is inextricably linked with this truth."
According to Girard, the Bible shows that violence does not come from God; rather, God sympathizes with victims. Seen this way, the incarnation incarnates God in the person of Jesus, in order to become himself a victim. God's only earthly throne is a cross. His only "revenge" on his enemies is unconditional compassion and forgiveness.
This view is the opposite of satisfying the blood lust of an angry god modeled on the pagan deities and the theological theories of atonement. Rather, the Incarnation and Christ's murder points to the futility of violence and to the path of salvation through all encompassing empathy. Christ, in Girard's view, was not the ultimate sacrifice but a rebuke by God of sacrificing anyone for anything... including some concept of "truth."
Rather than demanding some sort of justice, Christ sets the example of turning the other cheek. "Forgive them," he asks for his killers.
The killing of God becomes the example of what all God's children must be willing to suffer in order to bring peace on earth. It is in fact the root of all concepts of human rights as we understand them in the West. The humanism of the enlightenment borrowed from this ethic as do today's so called New Atheists.
If you lose your life you will find it. If Jesus is God, then this God loves his enemies and friends alike. If he is not God, the enlightened ethic of non-retribution still guides the best of our civilization and we depart from it at our peril.

A blade-based distributed computing system, for applications such as a storage network system, is made highly-available. The blade server integrates several computing blades and a blade for a switch that connects to the computing blades. Redundant components permit failover of operations from one component to its redundant component. Configuration of one or more blade servers, such as assignment of high level network addresses to each blade, can be performed by a centralized process, called a configuration manager, on one blade in the system. High level network addresses can be assigned using a set of sequential network addresses for each blade server. A range of high level network addresses is assigned to each blade server. Each blade server in turn assigns high level network addresses to its blades. The high level network address for each blade can be mapped to its chassis identifier and slot identifier. Configuration information also may include software version information and software upgrades. By distributing configuration information among the various components of one or more blade servers, configuration information can be accessed by any component that acts as the configuration manager.
This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/720,152 entitled "Highly-Available Blade-Based Distributed Computing System" filed 23 Sep. 2005, 60/748,839 having the same title filed 9 Dec. 2005, and 60/748,840 entitled "Distribution of Data in a Distributed Shared Storage System" filed 9 Dec. 2005. This application is related to non-provisional patent application Ser. No. ______ entitled "Distribution of Data in a Distributed Shared Storage System" and Ser. No. ______ entitled "Transmit Request Management in a Distributed Shared Storage System", both filed 21 Sep. 2006. The contents of all of the aforementioned applications are incorporated herein by reference.
Distributed computing architectures enable large computational and data storage and retrieval operations to be performed by a number of different computers, thus reducing the time required to perform these operations. Distributed computing architectures are used for applications where the operations to be performed are complex, or where a large number of users are performing a large number of transactions using shared resources.
To reduce the costs of implementation and maintenance of distributed systems, low cost server devices commonly called blades are packaged together in a chassis to provide what is commonly called a blade server. Costs are reduced by minimizing the space occupied by the devices and by having the devices share power and other devices. Each blade is designed to be a low-cost, field replaceable component.
It would be desirable to implement a distributed computing architecture using blade servers that are highly available and scalable, particular for shared storage of high bandwidth real-time media data that is shared by a large number of users. However, providing high availability in a system with low-cost field replaceable components presents challenges.
A blade-based distributed computing system, for applications such as a storage network system, is made highly-available. The blade server integrates several computing blades and a blade for a switch that connects to the computing blades. Redundant components permit failover of operations from one component to its redundant component.
Configuration of one or more blade servers, such as assignment of high level network addresses to each blade, can be performed by a centralized process, called a configuration manager, on one blade in the system. High level network addresses can be assigned using a set of sequential network addresses for each blade server. A range of high level network addresses is assigned to each blade server. Each blade server in turn assigns high level network addresses to its blades. The high level network address for each blade can be mapped to its chassis identifier and slot identifier. Configuration information also may include software version information and software upgrades. By distributing configuration information among the various components of one or more blade servers, configuration information can be accessed by any component that acts as the configuration manager.
Each blade server also may monitor its own blades to determine whether they are operational, to communicate status information and/or initiate recovery operations. With status and configuration information available for each blade, and a mapping of network addresses for each blade to its physical position (chassis identifier and slot identifier), this information may be presented in a graphical user interface. Such an interface may include a graphical representation of the blade servers which a user manipulates to view various information about each blade server and about each blade.
An application of such a blade-based system is for shared storage for high bandwidth real-time media data accessed by various client applications. In such an application, data may be divided into segments and distributed among storage blades according to a non-uniform pattern.
In such a system, it may be desirable to manage the quality of service between client applications and the blade servers. The switch in each blade server allocates sufficient bandwidth for a port for a client according to the bandwidth required by the client. The client may indicate its bandwidth requirements to the storage system by informing the catalog manager. The catalog manager can inform the switches of the bandwidth requirements of the different clients. A client may periodically update its bandwidth requirements.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example distributed computer system 100. The computer system 100 includes a plurality of computing units 102. There may be an arbitrary number of computing units 102 in the computer system 100. The computing units 100 are interconnected through a computer network 106 which also interconnects them with a plurality of client computers 104.
Each computing unit 102 is a device with a nonvolatile computer-readable medium, such as a disk, on which data may be stored. The computing unit also has faster, typically volatile, memory into which data is read from the nonvolative computer-readable medium. Each computing unit also has its own processing unit that is independent of the processing units of the other computing units, which may execute its own operating system, such as an embedded operating system, e.g., Windows XP Embedded, Linux and VxWorks operating systems, and application programs. For example, the computing unit may be implemented as a server computer that responds to requests for access, including but not limited to read and write access, to data stored on its nonvolatile computer-readable medium in one or more data files in the file system of its operating system. A computing unit may perform other operations in addition to data storage and retrieval, such as a variety of data processing operations.
Client computers 104 also are computer systems that communicate with the computing units 102 over the computer network 106. Each client computer may be implemented using a general purpose computer that has its own nonvolatile storage and temporary storage, and its own processor for executing an operating system and application programs. Each client computer 104 may be executing a different set of application programs and/or operating systems.
An example application of the system shown in FIG. 1 for use as a distributed, shared file system for high bandwidth media data will now be described. Such an application is described in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 6,785,768. The computing units 102 may act as servers that deliver data to or receive data from the client computers 104 over the computer network 106. Client computers 104 may include systems which capture data received from a digital or analog source for storing the data on the storage units 102. Client computers 104 also may include systems which read data from the storage units, such as systems for authoring, processing or playback of multimedia programs, including, but not limited to, audio and video editing. Other client computers 104 may perform a variety of fault recovery tasks. For a distributed file system, one or more client computers may be used to implement one or more catalog managers 108. A catalog manager is a database, accessible by the client computers 104, that maintains information about the data available on the computing units 102. This embodiment may be used to implement a broadcast news system such as shown in PCT Publication WO97/39411, dated Oct. 23, 1997.
The latency between a request to transfer data, and the actual transmission of that request by the network interface of one of the units in such a system can be reduced using techniques described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. ______ entitled "Transmit Request Management in a Distributed Shared Storage System", by Mitch Kuninsky, filed on 21 Sep. 2006, based upon U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/748,838, incorporated herein by reference.
In one embodiment of such a distributed, shared file system the data of each file is divided into segments. Redundancy information for each segment is determined, such as a copy of the segment. Each segment and its redundancy information are stored on the storage of different computing units. The selection of a computing unit on which a segment, and its redundancy information, is stored according to any sequence of the computing units that provides a non-sequential distribution if the pattern of distribution is different from one file to the next and from the file to its redundancy information. For example, this sequence may be random, pseudorandom, quasi-random or a form of deterministic sequence, such as a permutation. An example distribution of copies of segments of data is shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 1, four computing units 102, labeled w, x, y and z, store data which is divided into four segments labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4. An example distribution of the segments and their copies is shown, where: segments 1 and 3 are stored on computing unit w; segments 3 and 2 are stored on computing unit x; segments 4 and 1 are stored on computing unit y; and segments 2 and 4 are stored on computing unit z. More details about the implementation of such a distributed file system are described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,785,768, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The computing units 102 and computer network 106 shown in FIG. 1 may be implemented using one or more blade servers. A blade server is a server architecture that houses multiple server modules (called blades) in a single chassis. Thus each computing unit is implemented using a blade. The chassis provides multiple redundant power supplies and networking switches, and each blade has its own CPU, memory, hard disk and network interface and executes its own operating system (including a file system) and application programs. The blade server also includes at least one network switch on one of its blades to which other blades are connected and to which one or more client computers may connect. The switch can be configured and monitored by the CPU of the switch blade.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a server system 200, implemented using one or more blade servers, will now be described. The server system 200 includes one or more blade servers 202, with each blade server comprising a chassis (not shown) housing a set of blades 206. Each blade 206 has a processor, storage and a network interface 208 with a network address. At least one slot in the chassis is reserved for a blade that acts as a switch, called a switch blade 210. In one implementation a blade includes a conventional processor, such as an Intel Xeon processor, and an operating system, such as the Windows XP Embedded operating system, and disk based storage. The chassis includes redundant power supplies (not shown) for all of the blades and at least one switch blade 210. The switch blade may be redundant. Each blade is connected, through its network interface, to the switch blade 210 in the chassis. If a redundant switch blade is provided, each blade also may be connected to the redundant switch blade using redundant networking. Clients connect to the blade server either directly through the switch blades 210 or indirectly through other network infrastructures and other network-connected devices. Blade servers 202 may connect to each other by having a network 212 connected between their respective switches. The switches may be configured so as to act as one large switch when interconnected.
FIG. 3 illustrates a blade server 302 with redundant components. The blade server comprises a chassis (not shown) housing a set of blades 306. Each blade 306 has a processor and storage, and a first network interface 308 with a first network address and a second network interface 309 with a second network address. The chassis includes a redundant power supplies (not shown) for all of the blades and redundant switch blades 310 and 311. Each blade is connected through its first network interface 308 to the switch 310 and through its second network interface 309 to the switch blade 311. The redundant networking provides higher availability of the system by permitting fail over from a failed component to a backup component, as described in more detail below. The redundant switch blades may be interconnected by a redundant serial link 314 or Ethernet links.
Each chassis has a unique identifier among the chassis in the server system. This chassis identifier can be a permanent identifier that is assigned when the chassis is manufactured. Within the chassis, each physical position within the chassis is associated with a chassis position, called a slot identifier. This chassis position may be defined, for example, by hardwiring signals for each slot in the chassis which are received by the blade which it is installed in the chassis. Thus, each blade can be uniquely identified by its slot identifier and the chassis identifier.
Because a blade typically does not have a display or keyboard, communication of information about the status of the blade is typically is done through the network. However, if a blade is not functioning properly, communication from the blade may not occur. Even if communication did occur, it is difficult to determine, using conventional network address assignment protocols, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), to determine the physical location of a blade given only its network address. In that case, the only way to find a blade is through its physical coordinates, which is a combination of the location of the chassis housing the blade (relative to other chassis in the same system) and the slot identifier for the blade in that chassis. Finding the location of a blade also is important during system development, system installation, service integration and other activities. Both switch blades and compute blades have unique slot identifiers within the chassis.
Accordingly, the network is preferably configured in a manner such that the slot identifier and chassis identifier for a blade (whether for a computing unit or a switch) can be determined from its network address. Such a configuration can be implemented such that all blades within a chassis are assigned addresses within a range of addresses that does not overlap with the range of addresses assigned to blades in other chassis. These network addresses may be sequential and assigned sequentially according to slot identifier. To provide high availability and automatic configurability, this configuration preferably is implemented automatically upon startup, reboot, replacement, addition or upgrade of a chassis or blade within a chassis. A table is maintained that tracks, for each pair of slot identifier and chassis identifier, the corresponding configuration information including the network address (typically an IP address) of the device, and optionally other information such as the time the device was configured, services available on the device, etc. A separate table associates the chassis position (relative to other chassis) and the chassis identifier. It is possible to create this association either manually or automatically, for example by integrating location tracking mechanisms such as a global positioning system (GPS) into the chassis. This configuration information may be stored in a blade in nonvolatile memory so as to survive a loss of power to the blade. The configuration information may be stored in each blade to permit any blade to act as a configuration manager, or to permit any configuration manager to access configuration information.
Referring now to FIG. 4, how such a configuration is performed will now be described. Configuration of a device can occur after a device is booted so as to install its firmware and operating system and relevant applications. The server blade devices then begin to transmit (400) network packets (for example, Ethernet layer packets) including its slot identifier to two fixed low level network addresses (such as MAC addresses), which are trapped by the two switch blades. The switch may be programmed so that these messages do not cross over into other connected chassis. One of the switch blades responds by providing (402) a high level network address (such as an IP address) to the blade. The high level network address is based on the slot identifier, and is obtained from a block of network addresses allocated for that chassis. Preferably, each blade is assigned a network address sequentially, according to its slot identifier. The blade then sets its high level (e.g., IP) network address to the address specified by the switch blade CPU.
To initiate configuration of a multi-chassis installation, a user picks any one of the chassis and provides configuration information for the entire installation, including network address blocks, time, etc., to one of the switch blades. This selected switch blade then passes the configuration information to the configuration manager, a process executed on one of the switch blades. One of the switch blades is selected as a configuration manager. Any reasonable technique can be used to select a device as a configuration manager. For example, upon startup each switch blades may transmit low level network messages, including its chassis identifier, to other switch blades in the system. A switch with the lowest chassis identifier could be selected as the configuration manager. If the blade that is running the configuration manager is removed (which is possible because it is a field replaceable unit), another switch blade takes over the responsibility of the configuration manager. This is accomplished by having the configuration manager periodically send a message to the switch blades of other chassis indicating that it is operational. In one embodiment, the configuration manager may be defined manually through external user input. When the other switch blades determine that the configuration manager is not operational, another switch blade takes over the operation of the configuration manager.
The configuration manager may receive the chassis identifier of every chassis in the system from the switch blades in that chassis. Every switch blade may communicate to each other via a form of unicast or multicast protocol. The configuration manager may then order the chassis identifiers into a table, and assign each chassis a range of network addresses from the larger address block. This information may then be sent back to every switch blade in each chassis. The switch blade of a chassis receives the range of network addresses assigned to the chassis and assigns a network address to each of the blades in the chassis. The configuration manager ensures that each switch blade, and optionally each blade in each chassis, maintains a copy of the configuration information for the system.
Each chassis also may have a chassis manager that is an application that monitors the status of the blades and the applications running on the blades. There is a chassis manager in every chassis, but only one configuration manager in the entire installation. Both of these functions reside on the CPU within a switch blade. A process executed by the chassis manager will now be described in connection with FIG. 5. Each application and device being monitored periodically sends a status message to the chassis manager. These status messages are received (500) by the chassis manager. The chassis manager maintains information about the status of each device, such as the time at which the last status message was received, and updates (502) this status as messages are received. Each device or application that is being monitored is expected to send a status message periodically. If the expected time for receiving a status message passes without a status message being received, i.e., a timeout occurs (504), recovery procedures for the device or application are initiated (506).
The type and complexity of the recovery procedure depends on the device or application being monitored. For example, if an application is not responding, the chassis manager may instruct the operating system for the blade that is executing that application to terminate that application's process and restart it. An operating system that has failed may cause the blade to be restarted. If a device with a corresponding redundant device has failed, the redundant device could be started. If failure of a hardware device is detected, a system administrator application could be notified of the failure.
As a particular example of the operation of the chassis manager, FIG. 6 is a flow chart describing how the system may recover when a computing unit fails. First, the chassis manager, by monitoring the status messages, detects (600) whether the computing unit blade has failed. Upon detection of such a failure, the chassis manager instructs (602) the computing unit blade (or relevant application on it) to restart. If the restart is not successful, as determined at (604), and if the number of restart attempts has not reached a limit (e.g., three), as determined at (606), then another attempt is made (602). After several unsuccessful attempts are made, a failure condition of the computing unit is communicated (608). If the restart is successful, then the chassis manager resumes (610) normal operation.
If a computing unit blade fails and needs to be replaced, when a new computing element is added it is configured within the chassis. When a computing blade unit is added, it is configured so that its network address is the same as the unit it replaced. The process for it receiving the network address is described above. With the computing blade restarted, its relevant applications and device can initiate sending status messages to the chassis manager on the switch blade.
Operations for managing failure and replacement of switch blades will now be described. The potential risk of a catastrophic failure of the server operation due to failure of a switch blade in a blade server is reduced by providing redundant switch blades. Using redundant switch blades ensures network connectivity to each computing blade server and service continuity in spite of a switch blade failure. During normal operation, one of the switch blades is designated as the active chassis manager, whereas the other is designated as a passive chassis manager. Both switch blades still perform as switches, but only one of them is the active chassis manager. The switches in a chassis are connected via redundant, serial or Ethernet control paths, to monitor activity of each other, as well as exchange installation configuration information with each other. One of the switches in the blade server assumes the role of the active switch, for example, if it has the most current configuration data, or if it has a lower slot identifier. When a switch blade is replaced, the new switch typically does not have the most current configuration data. In that case, it receives the configuration data from the chassis manager, as well as other switch blades that comprise the redundant switch network.
During normal operation, the chassis manager executes on one switch blade CPU and monitors status messages from the passive chassis manager on the other switch blade. If failure of a passive chassis manager is detected, the active chassis manager attempts to restart the switch blade or can communicate its failure condition.
Also during normal operation, the passive chassis manager monitors status messages from the switch blade with the active chassis manager. FIG. 7 is a flow chart describing how the system may recover when a switch blade with an active chassis manager fails. The passive chassis manager detects (700) a failure of the active chassis manager when a status message is not received in a designated period of time. The redundant serial link connection between the two switch blades is intended to reduce the likelihood that the detected failure is due to a link failure. The passive chassis manager then assumes (702) the role as the active chassis manager. The new active chassis manager also ensures that the restarted switch or the replacement switch starts a chassis manager service in a passive mode (704). If the restart is successful, as determined at (706), then the failover is complete. Otherwise, a few attempts at restarting the original active switch are made, until a threshold is reached as determined at (708). If the restart is not successful, the failure condition of the switch is communicated (710), leading to replacement of the switch blade.
FIG. 8 is a flow chart describing how the system recovers when a switch blade is added. If a switch blade is being added, the chassis manager on the other switch blade in the blade server is currently in an active state. Therefore, the added switch blade will start up its chassis manager service in a passive state. The added switch, after booting, sends (800) a broadcast Ethernet message using its MAC address, chassis identifier and chassis position. The other switch blade receives this message and responds (802) with its information, including a network address. The passive chassis manager then begins sending (804) its status messages to the active chassis manager. The passive chassis manager also initiates (806) monitoring of the active chassis manager.
Another area in which high availability can be provided is in the upgrading of software of a blade. Each blade (whether a computing unit blade or a switch blade) maintains in nonvolatile memory a current, valid configuration table identifying the firmware, including a boot loader, an operating system, and applications to be loaded. A shadow copy of this table is maintained. Additionally, shadow copies of the firmware, operating system and applications are maintained.
FIG. 9 is a flow chart illustrating how software is upgraded in the system. Software upgrades may be provided to a blade over the network. When a software upgrade is performed, the shadow or secondary copies of the portion upgraded, e.g. firmware, operating system, and applications is updated 900. The blade is instructed 902 to boot according to the configuration table in the shadow copy. If a failure occurs, then a reboot could be attempted 904 a number of times, such as two. If the software upgrade fails to boot properly, as indicated at 906, then the blade reverts back to the current, valid configuration table. Otherwise, the shadow copy of the software becomes the current, valid configuration table as noted at 908.
As these operations demonstrate, each blade server monitors its own blades to determine whether they are operational, to communicate status information and/or to initiate recovery operations. With status and configuration information available for each blade, and with the mapping of network addresses for each blade to its physical position (chassis identifier and slot identifier), this information may be presented in a graphical user interface. Such an interface may include a graphical representation of the blade servers which a user manipulates to view various information about each blade server and about each blade.
The foregoing system is particularly useful in implementing a highly available, blade based distributed, shared file system for supporting high bandwidth temporal media data, such as video and audio data, that is captured, edited and played back in an environment with a large number of users. Because the topology of the network can be derived from the network addresses, this information can be used to partition use of the blade servers to provide various performance enhancements. For example, high resolution material can be segregated from low resolution material based upon networking topology and networking bottlenecks, which in turn will segregate network traffic from different clients into different parts of the network. In such an application, data may be divided into segments and distributed among storage blades according to a non-uniform pattern within the set of storage blades designated for each type of content.
In such a system, it may be desirable to manage the quality of service between client applications and the blade servers. The switch in each blade server allocates sufficient bandwidth or buffering for a port for a client according to the bandwidth required by the client. The client may indicate its bandwidth or burstiness requirements to the storage system by informing the catalog manager. The catalog manager can inform the switches of the bandwidth or burstiness requirements of the different clients. A client may periodically update its bandwidth or burstiness requirements.
Having now described an example embodiment, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the foregoing is merely illustrative and not limiting, having been presented by way of example only. Numerous modifications and other embodiments are within the scope of one of ordinary skill in the art and are contemplated as falling within the scope of the invention.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Last Saturday, like many days here in early June, was a softball fiesta. The 13,100-seat stadium — burnished and bulked up by a $27.5 million renovation that added a second deck — was teeming with young pony-tailed fans from Alva to Ardmore, partisans in Oklahoma, Oklahoma State or Texas colors, and softball aficionados who make the yearly sojourn to the Women's College World Series.
The scene was an apt representation of the sport's growth. Just a generation ago, most seating at USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium was on grass berms and a few rows of temporary outfield bleachers. Now, the membership of the American Softball Association, whose headquarters are on the grounds, has ballooned to more than two million people. On television, ratings for college softball continue to blossom.
But the deepening roots of Division I softball's championship tournament, which has been played almost exclusively at this site since 1990, and the state of Oklahoma's standing as the epicenter of the sport may soon be tested by an unlikely foe: politics over abortion rights.
That could have a widespread effect on college athletics — potentially sidetracking the careers of athletes who are prohibited from having an abortion legally, influencing where athletes choose to attend school, and exposing some coaches, trainers and administrators to lawsuits for helping any athlete get an abortion.
The repercussions may be felt most acutely in Oklahoma, where Gov. Kevin Stitt last month signed a measure to prohibit nearly all abortions starting at fertilization, and allow private individuals to sue anyone who "aids or abets" an abortion.
The abortion law, along with another recent Oklahoma statute barring transgender women from playing on women's sports teams, represents a new test for the N.C.A.A., which has used championships to take stands on issues that affect college athletes.
The N.C.A.A. moved a 2017 men's basketball regional out of North Carolina after the state enacted a law barring transgender women from using women's bathrooms. The state, which lost that year's N.B.A. All-Star Game, eventually passed a replacement bill that removed enough of the troubling language from the law for the N.C.A.A. to return to the state for high-profile events.
In 2020, the N.C.A.A. pressured Mississippi lawmakers to remove Confederate imagery from its flag, threatening to withhold any championship events from the state.
The issue of abortion may be more vexing for the N.C.A.A. given the divisions in the country and among those in the world of college sports. The question of the Women's College World Series has percolated in the halls of the N.C.A.A.'s offices in Indianapolis, but several committees that study women's athletics, inclusion and mental health are unlikely to formally consider the implications of changing abortion laws until their next meetings in the fall, at the earliest.
Last summer, the N.C.A.A. agreed to consider equity and inclusion as it evaluates future championships.
N.C.A.A. leaders are waiting to see if athletes press them on abortion the same way they have with issues of mental health and racism, according to two N.C.A.A. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject publicly.
The N.C.A.A. declined to make any officials available for this article.
Moving the softball championships would be painful.
The stakes over a softball showdown would be significant, both for Oklahoma City, which estimates that the Division I tournament pumps more than $20 million into the city's economy, and for the N.C.A.A., whose leaders are weary from a string of recent court and political battles that have hurt the reputation of a multibillion-dollar industry that insists its athletes not be considered employees.
Any move by the N.C.A.A. to move the tournament from Oklahoma would surely be difficult, and it is unlikely that other events that are coming up would be moved, like next year's men's basketball Final Four in Houston and the women's basketball Final Four in Dallas, both in Texas, which has an anti-abortion law nearly as strict as Oklahoma's.
A relocation because of abortion laws would certainly be greeted by opposition from some N.C.A.A. member schools, especially faith-based universities like Baylor, Brigham Young and Liberty. And some large state universities would likely be skittish about crossing state legislators who control their budgets.
Some prominent college basketball players, including Stanford's Cameron Brink and Oregon's Sedona Prince, were among 500 current and former high school, college and professional athletes who last year signed an amicus brief supporting abortion rights in the case before the Supreme Court, including about a dozen women who had played softball in college.
The brief, which was also signed by the U.S. Soccer star Megan Rapinoe and the W.N.B.A. player Diana Taurasi, argued that a woman's ability to make decisions about her own body supported the success of the United States women at the Tokyo Olympics last year, where women won nearly 60 percent of the nation's 113 medals.
"Women's participation in athletics would suffer, including because some women athletes would not be able to compete at the same level — or at all — without access to abortion care," the brief asserted, citing several statements from former Olympic athletes who said their careers would have been derailed if they had been unable to have an abortion.
Still, pressure on the N.C.A.A. from college athletes has not yet materialized.
Part of that could be timing. The Supreme Court draft opinion was leaked at a time when academic calendars were winding down and when athletes who were in season — including softball players — were sharply focused on winning championships. Just like across the American public, views among athletes and others within college sports about abortion are nuanced.
"I'll say that our team does have the important conversations, and we also do a very good job of compartmentalizing," said Megan Faraimo, a star pitcher for U.C.L.A., a school whose rich vein of athlete activism has been reactivated during the pandemic. Close to half the Bruins softball team took a knee before the national anthem last week, a common sight in college sports the past two years.
"When we're on the field, we're playing ball," Faraimo continued. "I think that's the beautiful part about this sport. We're more than athletes; we're going to have those conversations. But we're also going to play out."
The issue is not academic for women's athletes.
Victoria Jackson, a former collegiate distance runner who is a sports historian at Arizona State, said such conversations are essential.
When the N.C.A.A. in 2001 prohibited championship events from being held in South Carolina because of the state's refusal to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse — a ban that lasted nearly 15 years — it meant moving the regional cross country championships out of Greenville, S.C., where they had been regularly held.
"Every team had to talk about why they weren't going to Furman," Jackson said, referring to the college that hosted the event. "I do feel like there must be a conversation around the softball championships about what to do."
Among younger athletes, she added: "There's been a generational loss of how important the right to choose to have an abortion or not is, and how intimately it is tied to sports. Women are returning from pregnancy now, but that's a recent phenomenon."
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, unplanned pregnancies in 2011 were highest among women aged 20-24 (81 per 1,000 women); 42 percent of unintended pregnancies ended in abortion. There is no available data on unplanned pregnancies among college athletes.
In 2017, Sanya Richards-Ross, an Olympic medal-winning sprinter, revealed in a book that she'd had an abortion to compete in the 2008 Games. "I literally don't know another female track athlete who hasn't had an abortion," she said.
How Roe v. Wade's repeal might impact female college athletes was a topic that few participants in the softball World Series were interested in discussing.
U.C.L.A.'s Kelly Inouye-Perez, the only one among the eight head coaches in Oklahoma City who agreed to an interview, did not directly address the topic, but she invoked Title IX, which included greatly expanding women's access to college sports. She said "opportunity means choice" across a variety of circumstances.
"I'm encouraging my female student-athletes to have the strength and courage to take a stance, but do your homework," Inouye-Perez said. "Make sure you're not just following what everybody is doing, but do your homework. See how it's impacting you."
Coaches at Arizona, Texas, Florida, Northwestern and Oregon State declined interview requests, and the coaches at Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, after initially agreeing to interviews, later declined.
Asked at a Saturday news conference what she would tell the parents of recruits who were concerned about the state's anti-abortion law, Oklahoma Coach Patty Gasso said: "I don't feel equipped to answer that because it's never come across. I don't even know how I would go about it. I just don't feel comfortable on this stage to be talking about those subjects, to be honest."
Gasso, by far the nation's highest-paid softball coach at more than $1.1 million this season, answered a question last month about Oklahoma's restrictions on transgender athletes similarly. Gasso told the university's student newspaper, the OU Daily: "I haven't been really in research mode, but I will learn more as we go along."
A patchwork of laws would raise 'tough questions' for athletes.
These are subjects upon which Gasso, whose team won its sixth national championship on Thursday by sweeping a best-of-three series from Texas, may have to get up to speed.
Gasso, who came to Oklahoma from Long Beach (Calif.) City College in 1995, recruits heavily in her home state. Four starters are from Southern California, including the team's star freshman, Tiare Jennings, who is from San Pedro and hit two home runs on Wednesday.
Jennings's mother, Maria, said her daughter was so happy in Oklahoma that she may never come home, but she said that anti-abortion bills would raise "tough questions" for recruits in California.
The State of Roe v. Wade
What is Roe v. Wade? Roe v. Wade is a landmark Supreme court decision that legalized abortion across the United States. The 7-2 ruling was announced on Jan. 22, 1973. Justice Harry A. Blackmun, a modest Midwestern Republican and a defender of the right to abortion, wrote the majority opinion.
What was the case about? The ruling struck down laws in many states that had barred abortion, declaring that they could not ban the procedure before the point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb. That point, known as fetal viability, was around 28 weeks when Roe was decided. Today, most experts estimate it to be about 23 or 24 weeks.
What else did the case do? Roe v. Wade created a framework to govern abortion regulation based on the trimesters of pregnancy. In the first trimester, it allowed almost no regulations. In the second, it allowed regulations to protect women's health. In the third, it allowed states to ban abortions so long as exceptions were made to protect the life and health of the mother. In 1992, the court tossed that framework, while affirming Roe's essential holding.
Heidi Supple, whose daughter Sydney is a junior at Northwestern University in Illinois, said she "absolutely" viewed abortion rights as a gender-equity issue and would not feel comfortable if her daughter attended school in a state that restricted them. "I think for a lot of young women that will be a compelling factor," said Heidi Supple, who is from Oshkosh, Wis.
Kelli Braitsch starred on Oklahoma's first national championship team in 2000. And last Saturday she sat in the first row behind the first-base dugout with her wife, cheering on the Sooners.
The government, she said, has no more business governing her body than it does restricting gay marriage or transgender rights. "For women, it's everything we fight for," she said.
She also remembers one of her former college teammates who had an abortion. "She would have lost her scholarship if she hadn't, so she made a choice," Braitsch said. "She got her degree and has had a nice career, but what would have happened if she didn't have that choice?"
Dot Richardson has seen up close how an unplanned pregnancy can challenge a young athlete's plans.
Richardson, who helped U.C.L.A. to its first national title in 1982, won a gold medal for the United States before completing medical school. She recently finished her ninth season as the coach at Liberty, the religious school founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who died in 2007. Sex outside of marriage is a violation of the school's honor code.
Richardson said she has had two players become pregnant, and neither had an abortion.
"One of our girls, the guy sent her $650 to get an abortion," Richardson said. "If her teammates didn't come to me and say, 'Coach, we don't know what to do?' I don't know what would have happened." Richardson recalled with a smile telephoning the pregnant player's father and telling him: "I don't know how to tell you this, but you're going to be a grandpa."
"My biggest message is we can do more — more education, more support," she added. "How do we help young women with their choices?"
The N.C.A.A. has shifted — and so have athletes.
Two years ago, Oklahoma was among the hubs where college athletes were making their voices heard after the murder of George Floyd. Oklahoma State's star running back, Chuba Hubbard, publicly scolded his coach, Mike Gundy, when a photo surfaced of Gundy wearing a T-shirt promoting a right-wing TV network. And among the Oklahoma athletes raising their voices was Ashlynn Dunbar, a volleyball and basketball player who took to social media to tell fans not to cheer for her if they did not support her right to speak out.
Much has changed since then.
Consider that around the same time, N.C.A.A. President Mark Emmert emphasized in an interview with The New York Times that his organization would not dodge political subjects if they negatively affected athlete welfare. "When there are issues that affect students, under my leadership I'm not going to hesitate to encourage that we do take those positions," he said, shortly after the N.C.A.A. had been among those that nudged Mississippi lawmakers to remove Confederate symbols from the state flag.
Now, though, Emmert is a lame duck after agreeing to leave his post by this time next year in part because he had become a political liability for the N.C.A.A. Adding to the uncertainty, a new, far smaller Board of Governors — reduced to nine members from 21 — will be seated in August when the N.C.A.A.'s new, streamlined constitution takes effect.
"The N.C.A.A. is not a political action committee," said Betsy Mitchell, the athletic director at Caltech and a former Olympic swimmer who is a member of the N.C.A.A. committee on women's athletics, one of four boards dedicated to issues of inclusion.
She continued: "You could make the case on some other issues around supporting young people: Oh, you can't host the championship if you're going to be anti-trans or actively trying to hurt trans people. But my personal opinion is that it isn't an appropriate use of our energy or time — not because I don't care or support the chilling effect of repealing Roe v. Wade. I just don't think the N.C.A.A. should be taking up these kinds of topics."
And yet Mitchell's committee last year supported the N.C.A.A.'s statement that it should create a formal process for evaluating championships through an equity lens. Mitchell was asked if she considered abortion a gender-equity issue. "Wow," she said, pausing for a moment to think. "I don't know. I certainly see it as a human rights issue or a civil rights issue."
Last Saturday night, after the USA Softball Hall of Fame Stadium had emptied out, the discomfort with speaking about changes in abortion law and the implications for college sports was evident.
Chyenne Factor, a senior outfielder for Oklahoma State, was asked at a news conference: Did she think athletes who had raised their voices on mental health and social injustice matters recently might do so again about abortion laws?
Kenny Gajewski, Factor's coach, intercepted the question.
"I don't know that this is the time and place to be talking about some of this stuff," he said. "These kids are here to play softball and represent their schools."
Gajewski then said that student welfare should be given greater sway, and went on to use an example about a random late-night drug test putting undue stress on his starting pitcher.
Gajewski was asked if he was suggesting that Factor, 23, a three-time conference All-Academic player, could not play softball and have thoughts on abortion laws at the same time.
"Your assumption is wrong on that," Gajewski said, pausing just long enough for the moderator to intercede.
"That's enough," said the news conference moderator, Roger McAfee, an assistant athletic director at Cleveland State. "Any other questions for the student-athletes?"

Most know the Navy supports Sailors who pursue higher education. While it will be mandatory for chiefs to possess at least an associate degree for advancement to senior chief, one Sailor recently took that a couple of steps further; by earning a master's degree while serving aboard USS Toledo, (SSN 769). During his tour that started in 2001, Sonar Technician (Submarines) 1st Class (SS) David Plouffe earned two undergraduate degrees prior to the master's program and became the first Sailor to earn a graduate degree through the University of Oklahoma entirely through the Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE).
A veteran of 12 submarine deployments, Plouffe admits it took him a while to 'get in gear,' but he was actually preparing for it without realizing it all along. A history buff, Plouffe spent most of his down time reading.
His avocation for reading allowed him to complete his second degree in record time by taking advantage of the free College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). By taking CLEP tests, Plouffe was able to earn 30 college credits, equal to approximately one year of college, without ever setting foot in a classroom.
"CLEP tests are the easiest and cheapest way for Sailors to earn college credit," Plouffe said. And Bob Walker, the Navy College PACE coordinator, "bends over backwards to get Sailors what they need, when they need it. I've been all over, and this is by far the best Navy College office I've worked with," said Plouffe. Armed with a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in history, he enrolled in the University of Oklahoma graduate program.
Plouffe was able to earn 30 college credits, equal to approximately one year of college, without ever setting foot in a classroom.
In that pilot program, instead of using laptop computers and CD-ROMS, some Toledo Sailors use personal digital assistants (PDAs), which take up less room than a laptop. According to Plouffe, the ultimate objective is to have Sailors complete their coursework on the PDA and e-mail it directly to the program director, rather than wait until they return from deployment.
Close to retirement, Plouffe wants to continue passing on his love of learning by becoming a teacher. He's already a Rhode Island-certified substitute teacher.
He took the first step towards his education late in his career, and despite the credits he already had, he had to scramble.
In 1988, the United States Navy began the Navy College Program for Afloat College Education (NCPACE), giving Sailors the opportunity to experience a college education while on sea duty assignments. University of Oklahoma Outreach is a charter member of this program.

Corbin is an 8 year old black German Shepherd Dog (GSD). He's lived as part of our family for 10 months, while looking for his special family. He's a total goofball. You can't leave socks on the floor, he takes them! He loves to just eat, lounge around and watch TV. But he will NEVER turn down a walk. I'd keep him, but then I couldn't help save others. He doesn't do cats or small dogs, but he likes big dogs just fine. He's available for adoption through Missouri German Shepherd Rescue (MOGS). Our website is http://mogsrescue.org/ and we are on Facebook!
Here's a bunch of info on MOGS and you can glean what you desire from it. We are an all foster and all donation rescue.
Missouri German Shepherd Rescue (MOGS) is a small, mighty, overwhelmed and broke breed rescue. So thank YOU for being willing to say ANYTHING about us.
In 2011, German Shepherds were declared the #2 homeless dog in America and it continues unabated. Tens of thousands of German Shepherds are dumped and killed each year. Although we're 100% volunteer and everyone has full time jobs and families, we devote tens of thousands of hours and dollars every year to saving these lives. Every single day we get multiple calls from owners, finders, vets, and shelters begging us to take dogs. And we do – untrained 1 yr olds who are no longer "cute puppies", a pregnant-about-to-deliver dog, a blind 10 year old, heartworm positive dogs, a dog with a withered leg, dogs hit by cars, terrified dogs, unsocialized dogs, puppy mill dogs, dogs with serious medical conditions or behavioral issues, working dogs bought by people who have no idea what to do with them, and more. A few examples are Delilah (withered leg), Spencer (an alcoholic's dog – unsocialized, had no permanent home, reacts fearfully to all strangers), Riggo (a working dog whose owners had no idea what to do with him), Zeke (dog-aggressive) and many more. Our philosophy is "If we can help the dog, we will." We're proud of who we are and what we're doing – and grateful for all interest in and support of our mission!
Ivy Bean is an almost 5 yo black GSD mix. She was dropped out of a car at a gas station as a puppy. So…I adopted her. She's laid back, stubborn and totally my 12 yo daughter's dog. She hasn't quite grown into her ears. Ha! She doesn't care about toys unless her brother wants it.


Alphonse Puthren's Nivin Pauly-starrer Premam is getting rave reviews from both fans and critics as well. The latest to join the list is none other ace director Shankar.

Find out what makes cosmetic dentistry in Vallejo such a fantastic option for you.
You are ready to make a physical change for the New Year but you aren't quite sure what it is. You don't want to dye or cut your hair. You don't want to go through aggressive or invasive treatments like cosmetic surgery, but you want something that will boost your appearance and your confidence. Well, stand back because our Vallejo, CA cosmetic dentist, Dr. David Gordon, has some amazing options for you.
Dental bonding and contouring: Not all dental issues are major, but they might be in your eyes. If you are dealing with extremely fang-like canines or you hate that small chip in your tooth then bonding and contouring might be the best option for you. This non-invasive procedure involves chiseling away very minute amounts of enamel to reshape a tooth. Dental bonding, which uses a tooth-colored material, can also be applied over chips, cracks and discolorations.
Teeth whitening: Do you hate that your teeth have become yellow and stained over the years? Are whitening toothpastes and at-home kits not doing the trick? Our Vallejo dentist has you covered. We use the strongest bleaching gel on the market to wipe away stains and actually change the shade of your teeth. You can walk out with a considerably whiter smile in just one visit.
Dental veneers: Some imperfections won't be able to be treated with bonding, but you aren't out of luck. These thin porcelain shells can be bonded to the front of one or more teeth to mask flaws and improve the shape and color of your smile. Whether you are looking to get a straighter smile, cover gaps between teeth, or hide misshapen or worn teeth, dental veneers can do that and more.
Dental implants: If tooth loss has you down, dental implants could help replace one or more missing teeth. No other restoration comes close to mimicking natural teeth like dental implants can, and they are designed to last a lifetime. If you want a restoration that acts and looks like a natural tooth, then it's time to talk to us about getting dental implants.
Do one of the treatment options above tickle your fancy? Are you ready to revamp your smile? Then it's time you called our Vallejo, CA dental office today to schedule a consultation with us. Let's find out what cosmetic dentistry could give you your dream smile.

Der Alcoa ist ein Fluss in Portugal, der oberhalb von Chiqueda im Kreis Alcobaça (Distrikt Leiria) entspringt und nach knapp fünf Kilometern die Stadt Alcobaça erreicht, wo er mit dem Fluss Baça zusammentrifft.

Die Stadt Alcobaça leitet nach einer Auffassung ihren Namen von diesen beiden Flüssen her, während nach anderer Auffassung der Name arabischen Ursprungs (von Al-cobaxa) sein soll und nach ihm die beiden in der Stadt zusammenfließenden Flüsse benannt worden seien. Zuvor fließen in den Alcoa noch die Flüsse Rio Seco und Rio Esperança und der Bach Ribeira do Mogo. In Alcobaça wurde der Fluss im Laufe des Ausbaus des Klosters vermutlich verlegt. In Chiqueda haben die Mönche im Mittelalter im Flusslauf eine eigene Wassererfassung errichtet (die als Mãe da Água,  Mutter des Wassers, bezeichnet wurde). Dies war der Ausgangspunkt für eine 3,2 Kilometer lange – überwiegend unterirdisch in einem Gerinne geführte – Wasserleitung, die das Kloster mit frischem und sauberem Wasser versorgte.

Obgleich von einem Zusammentreffen der Flüsse Alcoa und Baça in Alcobaça gesprochen wird, behält der Fluss auf seinem weiteren 12 km langen Weg zum Meer, wo er südlich von Nazaré über verschiedene, teils auch künstlich zur Bewässerung angelegte Nebenarme in den Atlantik tritt (im Foz de Alcoa, dem Mündungsgebiet des Alcoa) seinen Namen Alcoa. Vereinzelt findet man, wie in alten Militärkarten, als Bezeichnung für den Fluss nach Aufnahme des Flusses Baça auch den Namen Rio Alcobaça oder auch Rio de Fervença, Letzteres nach einer meerwärts von Alcobaça liegenden Ortschaft, die zur Gemeinde Maiorga gehört, wo noch im frühen Mittelalter die  Lagune von Pederneira hinreichte und in die der Fluss mündete. Die offizielle Bezeichnung, so auch in den öffentlichen Dokumenten, ist indes Alcoa.

Employees are always asking questions about the FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act). For employers, it is definitely a challenging part of human resources duties. When an FMLA leave falls on a holiday, it becomes even more complicated.
Employers must know how to answer three holiday-related questions. First, if a holiday falls during an employee's FMLA leave, does that holiday count against the employee's FMLA entitlement? Second, how is the FMLA administered when there is an extended plant, office or school shutdown? Lastly, must an employer provide holiday pay to an employee on FMLA leave?
Does a holiday count against an employee's FMLA leave entitlement?
While many employers keep track of their employees' FMLA entitlements in terms of days or even hours, the FMLA and its implementing regulations provide that employees receive 12 workweeks of leave in a one-year period. As a result, leave is calculated in workweek increments. Under 29 C.F.R. § 825.200(h), if an employee is off work for an entire workweek, even if it is a week in which a holiday falls, the employee uses a week of FMLA. Only when an employee is off work for less than an entire workweek will the employee have used a partial week of FMLA.
For example: An employee is on FMLA leave for a week, from Tuesday, May 24, 2016, through Tuesday, June 7, 2016. His employer is closed on Monday, May 30, 2016, to celebrate Memorial Day. Does the May 30 holiday count against the employee's FMLA entitlement?
The employee is off work the entire week of May 30, the week in which the Memorial Day holiday falls. As a result, the holiday does count against his FMLA entitlement, and the employee uses an entire week of FMLA for that week.
However, the outcome is different if the employee misses only part of a workweek in which a holiday occurs.
For example: An employee is off work on FMLA leave for a week, from Wednesday, May 25, 2016, through Tuesday, May 31, 2016. His employer is closed Monday, May 30, 2016, for Memorial Day. Does the Memorial Day holiday count against the employee's FMLA entitlement?
Because the employee is off work for only part of the workweek in which the Memorial Day holiday falls, then only the days the employee was expected to report to work, and not the Memorial Day holiday, count against the employee's FMLA entitlement.
But here's an example with an important difference—the employer is open for business on the Memorial Day holiday: An employee is on FMLA leave from Wednesday, May 25, 2016, through Tuesday, June 7, 2016. His employer is open for business over the Memorial Day holiday. Does the holiday count against the employee's FMLA entitlement?
Because the employer is open for business, and assuming that the employee would have been scheduled to work on the holiday, Memorial Day is treated as any other work day and May 30 would count against the employee's FMLA entitlement.
How is the FMLA administered when there is an extended plant, office or school shutdown?
If there is a weeklong shutdown over the holidays, like a plant closing or school shutdown, and employees are not expected to work, 29 C.F.R. § 825.200(h) provides that the shutdown period does not count against the employee's FMLA entitlement. A partial week shutdown is treated in the same manner as if the days off work were holidays.
Do employees on FMLA leave get holiday pay?
Under 29 C.F.R. § 825.209 and 29 C.F.R. § 825.215(c)(2), whether an employee on FMLA leave must receive holiday pay depends on whether the employer would make the payment if the employee were on a non-FMLA leave. If an employer's policy provides that an employee who is off work the day before the holiday will get holiday pay only if the time off is paid (with PTO or vacation, for example), then the employer must provide holiday pay to an employee who is on FMLA leave only if the FMLA leave is paid. An employer with such a policy is not required to provide holiday pay to an employee on unpaid FMLA leave. In other words, employers must treat employees on FMLA leave consistent with those who are on similar forms of non-FMLA leave.
An employer's compliance with FMLA statutes is vital to avoiding legal claims and penalties for failing to comply. These situations are a few of many more questions about this statute.

Inspection report: ANSTO OPAL Reactor, Lucas Heights, (R21/12455)
Licence holder: ANSTO OPAL Reactor
Location inspected: Lucas Heights
Date of inspection: 17 and 18 November 2021
The scope of the inspection included an assessment of ANSTO OPAL Reactor's performance against the Performance Objectives and Criteria (POC) in the area of radiation protection and cross cutters. The inspection consisted of a review of records, interviews, and physical inspection of the facility.
The OPAL facility is a 20 MW multipurpose research reactor that provides a variety of benefits to the community including production of radioisotopes for nuclear medicine and neutron scattering research. The main codes and standards applicable to this facility are those that appear in section 59 of the Regulations plus AS 2243.4:2018 Safety in laboratories ionizing radiation.
Overall, the radiation protection was found to be appropriately managed at the OPAL facility. The dedicated ANSTO Radiation Protection Service (RPS) personnel provide professional support to OPAL personnel and management. The radiation protection management and practices including performance in three cross-cutting areas of safety culture, human performance and performance improvement were found to be sound. One area for improvement was identified.
The only area for improvement identified in the previous ARPANSA inspection on radiation protection was an inconsistency of the Health Physics logbook records. During this inspection a sample of more than a month's worth of logbook records was audited and no shortfall was identified.
The safety management system is used for all aspects of radiation protection. The procedures and instructions are used for all work routine activities and the radiological risk assessment is an integral part of the process. The documents inspected were found to have been periodically reviewed and updated when needed. Safe Work Method and Environmental Statements (SWMES) that assess risks including radiological risks are developed for non-routine activities. It was demonstrated that the Radiation Protection Advisor (RPA) participates in developing of such assessments. A number of instructions and SWMES were inspected. No inconsistencies were identified.
ANSTO has developed and implemented an overarching set of radiation protection protocols that have been adopted by facilities including the OPAL reactor. These procedures are adapted to facilities such as the OPAL reactor to reflect specific hazards. Processes describing the movement of material, tools and equipment between areas with different radiation and contamination classifications were examined and no inconsistency were found.
ANSTO RPS provide health physics support and radiation protection advice to the OPAL reactor facility. A RPA and two health physics surveyors (HPS) are currently allocated to the facility for operational support. This support was shown to be adequately flexible to cover occasional work conducted outside of normal business hours. This level of support has been maintained even during the period of COVID-19 restrictions and found to be adequate.
Periodic surveys are conducted for radiation and non-radiation areas to check the level of radiation and contamination. Many health physics survey records were examined to verify frequency and results. All records examined indicated that the surveys have been completed within the timeframes specified in the relevant procedures, and radiation levels and contamination were below the levels specified for the respective areas. No discrepancies were found.
Airborne and liquid discharges are reported to ARPANSA quarterly as required by licence conditions. No deviations were identified in the records. All discharges were well within the notification levels stipulated by licence conditions.
The ANSTO RPS participates in assessment of projects where radiation hazards are involved. A few such projects were examined with a focus on the involvement of radiation protection personnel such as the TG 123 project implemented recently. RPA involvement was found to be sufficient, and an adequate level of engagement has been demonstrated throughout the project from the beginning when the doses were estimated, through the dose monitoring activities during the project run to the post-implementation evaluation phase.
Multiple controls and defences are used to avoid unplanned radiological events. One of the most important controls are those that form the operating limits and conditions (OLC) relevant to radiation protection. These OLCs are generally associated with radiation monitoring devices continuously checking the OPAL reactor circuits, working environment, and discharges from the facility. The maintenance of all relevant systems was found to be in compliance with the relevant OLCs and associated surveillance requirements.
Australian Standard AS 2243.4: 2018 Safety in laboratories ionizing radiation requires annual instrument calibration. A walk around of the facility confirmed that all but one of approximately 20 instruments inspected had been appropriately calibrated. The one hand-held contamination detector on L13 of building 80 was out of calibration by a week. In general, the instrument calibration is scheduled using the SAP system, which includes hand-held instruments. Calibration schedules of some instruments were reviewed during the inspection and no inconsistency was identified. Therefore, identifying one instrument outside the calibration period does not suggest a systemic problem.
Selected radiation events over the last two years were examined. ANSTO provided evidence of actions taken to maximise learning. The inspection verified action status and effectiveness of controls. For example, in October 2019, a HPS identified some contaminated items that were not labelled correctly in the rig maintenance room. The equipment in the room at that time was found to be not entirely in accordance with the relevant OPAL waste management procedure. During the current inspection walk around, improvements in management of the items temporarily stored in the room were observed. The equipment permanently located in the room was arranged according to the 'five-S' principle in the designated locations that were clearly marked. Tools used for contaminated items are now stored in the lockable red toolbox recently introduced to improve tool management. Although all contaminated items were wrapped in pink plastic to prevent spreading contamination, some of them did not carry current information of the level of contamination. However, it is recognised that OPAL has improved in this specific area and actions identified to further improve the management of equipment in the maintenance and utilisation rooms in building 80 are ongoing. Therefore, this shortfall is considered to be a work in progress.
Recent event GRC 11580 involved heavy water contamination of two personnel during a maintenance activity. Although the actual contamination and doses received by the affected people were minor, ANSTO conducted a thorough investigation to maximise learning. One of the recommended actions identified by the ANSTO independent investigator was to improve the already existing OPAL reactor specific training, particularly to enhance training on the facility radiological hazards. It is noted that the investigation of a contamination event in another ANSTO facility (which resulted in a major personal contamination) identified similar opportunities for improvement in the relatively recent past. Therefore, enhancing awareness of the OPAL reactor-specific radiological hazards by emphasising the maximum potential consequences for work activities and their potential health effects is presented here as an area for improvement.
ANSTO provides quarterly reports to ARPANSA on radiation doses to personnel for the entire site. Doses over the past two quarters were found to be slightly elevated due to extensive maintenance being carried out during recent reactor shutdowns. However, the doses remained well within the annual dose limits which require the average dose over 5 years to be below 20 mSv and the dose in a single year to be below 50 mSv.
The doses for each planned project task are estimated prior to commencement. Appropriate mitigating measures to minimise the doses are identified, reviewed and approved according to established ANSTO and OPAL specific protocols. The relevant documentation supporting a sample of projects was examined and no deviation from the approved methodology was identified. For example, actual doses received by personnel involved in project TG123 that included replacement of the beam primary shutters were found to be lower than previously estimated. This indicates that an appropriate conservatism was adopted.
ANSTO developed guide G-1372 in 2018 that assists in tailoring dose constraints to individual facilities. The OPAL reactor followed the guide in 2019 when the new dose constraint of 2 mSv was established for the facility.
The inspection revealed the following area for improvement:
OPAL radiation protection training could be improved by enhancing the emphasis on consequences and health effects associated with the existing specific radiological hazards.
