A system recovery method and framework for backing up and restoring a system that cannot reboot. The framework defines a common process, environment, and syntax, whereby backup programs integrate with this framework by collecting and writing appropriate information to be used during system recovery in the proper format. The format is a System Information File, a text file that specifies the hard disk state of the system and the location of key partitions where key components of the operating system are located. The file also includes instructions for specifying programs to launch during the restore phase, and any commands that need to be run in error handling cases. The file also includes or references any additional drivers or files to copy to assist in the restore process. A framework for restoring is also provided, and includes reading the file to restore the disk partition state, creating a common environment, and configuring (initializing) the common environment. When the environment is configured, the programs specified in the file are run to restore the remainder of the system.

The present invention is directed generally to computer systems, and more particularly to recovering from the failure of a computer system.
Computer systems are protected against failure by backing up the computer data, whereby if a system crashes, the data may be restored. However, if a computer system fails in a manner in which it cannot reboot, the data cannot be simply restored. For example, hardware may fail, (e.g., the hard disk controller burns out), or software may fail, (e.g., a virus corrupts some key files and/or data), in a manner that prevents a reboot. However, in the event of a system failure, computer users not only want their data restored, but want their system restored to the way it was prior to the failure.
At present, backing up system information so as to enable a system to be restored to a bootable state, involves the use of many disjoint and separate programs and operations. For example, a system administrator may use one or more utility programs to determine the state of disk configuration and/or formats so that the disk information may be saved. Additional programs and techniques may be used to record a list of operating system files, data, and other software installed on the system. The administrator may also record the types of various devices and settings thereof installed in a system. Backing up a system's state is thus a formidable task.
Similarly, the process of restoring a system involves the use of this recorded information, along with an operating system setup program, thus making restoration a complicated process. Moreover, if the original system is replaced with non-identical hardware, (e.g., a larger disk, a new CD-ROM, Hard Disk Controller, and/or Video Card) then additional complications may arise because much of the saved state information may no longer apply to the new system configuration. For example, if a system fails and the data and files are restored to a non-identical system, many hours may have to be spent adjusting and configuring the system to work, using a variety of different programs and utilities. In sum, present system recovery (backup and restore) involves proprietary and custom crafted solutions that are not common and extensible. Instead, providers of backup and restore programs each redefine an environment, process, and syntax to enable the recovery of the system.
As a result, whenever a failure makes a system non-bootable, the process to reconstruct the system's previous state is error prone and lengthy. This can cause serious problems, particularly with computer systems used in critical roles (such as a file server) wherein the time required to get the computer system operational after a failure is very important.
Briefly, the present invention provides a system recovery framework/architecture for backup and restore, thereby providing an extensibility mechanism, such as for third party vendors to integrate with their programs. The framework defines a common process, environment, and syntax for straightforward integration into system recovery programs. Backup programs integrate with this framework by collecting and writing appropriate information to be used during system recovery in the proper format. The information can be collected using available APIs including Backup APIs, Query Hard Disk State APIS, NT Registry APIs and a Query System Catalog State mechanism that finds and reads the description of the set of files that cannot be modified.
Saved file data may be stored in whatever format the backup program needs and requires, while the state information and additional files are written out in defined and documented syntax and format, i.e., to a System Information File (sif file). This file is a text file that specifies the hard disk state of the system and the location, size, and type of key partitions where the Operating System (Windows) is located. The sif file also includes instructions for specifying what programs are to be launched during the restore phase, and any commands that need to be run in error handling cases. The sif file also includes (or references) any additional drivers or files to copy to assist in the restore process, such as a custom driver. System catalog information is also backed up, and stores a catalog that contains the enumeration of the required system files that need to be present in the system and that cannot be altered.
A framework for restoring is also provided, and includes reading the sif file to restore the disk partition state, creating a common environment, configuring (initializing) the common environment, including detecting any new devices of the system, and handling any differences. When the environment is configured, the programs specified in the sif file are then run to restore the remainder of the system.
Other advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
Exemplary Operating Environment
FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief general description of a suitable computing environment in which the invention may be implemented. Although not required, the invention will be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a personal computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures and the like that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types.
Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers and the like. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
With reference to
A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24 or RAM 25, including an operating system 35 (preferably Windows 2000), one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37 and program data 38. A user may enter commands and information into the personal computer 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40 and pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 21 through a serial port interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 23 via an interface, such as a video adapter 48. In addition to the monitor 47, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The personal computer 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. The remote computer 49 may be another personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the personal computer 20, although only a memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in FIG. 1. The logical connections depicted in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 is connected to the local network 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over the wide area network 52, such as the Internet. The modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 23 via the serial port interface 46. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.
Backup of System State
The present invention a system recovery framework for backup and restore that provides an extensibility mechanism, such as for third-party vendors to integrate into backup and restore programs. This framework defines a common process, environment, and syntax that allow vendors to easily integrate their programs into the system recovery process. As will be understood, authors of backup and restore applications may thus focus on the backup and restore features of their product, rather than dealing with creating environments or processes to run their programs. Also described is Automated System Recovery (ASR), an integrated mechanism for the backup and restoration of system state. The ASR mechanism provides a single coherent and structured mechanism for backing up and restoring system state. The ASR mechanism is further described in the copending United States patent application entitled, "Automated System Recovery via Backup and Restoration of System State," assigned to the assignee of the present invention, filed concurrently herewith, and hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Turning to
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention and as shown in
In keeping with the present invention, a first area for backing up includes the system state, which is an underlying description of the system, separate from the actual operating system and data files, i.e., the information that intrinsically defines the configuration of a computer system. The system state includes the hard disk configuration (i.e., disk structure and layout) such as the number of hard disks on the system, number of disk partitions on the system and partition format types (such as NTFS, FAT, or FAT32). The hard disk configuration also includes descriptions of where the partitions start and stop on the disk (partition offsets), so that the disk or disks can be recreated exactly during the restore phase. Also stored is the location of the operating system partition or partitions required to start a machine, e.g., where the Windows� 2000 boot volume and system volume are installed. These partitions are identified so the proper associations with them can be restored. Also, in the event that the partitions and disks are different during the restore phase, these boot and system partitions will be restored as first priority. Of course, if some storage mechanism other than a hard disk is used, equivalent data will be maintained therefor.
As will be described below, the system state 62 is recorded on a medium (e.g., a floppy disk 68) that is readily accessible to (i.e., readable by) a newly operational, but not yet restored machine. As used herein, the readily-readable medium will be described as a floppy disk 68, but as can be readily appreciated, the medium may alternatively comprise a read-writeable CD-ROM, network storage (e.g., in a directory of files), flash memory card, wired or wireless telephone connection, smart card and virtually anything else capable of recording and/or transmitting information to a computer system for use by a restore process 70 (FIG. 3). Note that the computer system need not be fully configured for operation at that time, e.g., the hard disks thereof need not be formatted, nor all the various device drivers loaded when the medium 68 is access for restore. Part of the system state, e.g., certain selected, less-essential operating system files, may also be stored to a secondary backup device 74 (e.g., a tape drive or hard disk, such as a network disk drive) that generally stores relatively larger amounts of information. Similarly, as described hereinafter, the backup device 74 will be primarily described as a tape drive, however any medium capable of storing the appropriate amount of information may be used, including a hard disk drive or even the same readily-accessible medium 68 that stores the primary system state information. For example, a single two-gigabyte optical disk may store all of the necessary state information and data for a low-end system.
Thus, a second area to be backed up includes the operating system 72 and data files 64, e.g., the files on the computer and their associated properties including a complete set of the operating system files. As described above, this generally larger amount of data is ordinarily written to the backup device 74, e.g., a tape drive.
A third area to be backed up includes a description of the operating system and data files, e.g., the files on the computer and their associated properties, including a complete set of the recovery information, and a list of what programs should be executed during the restore phases along with other information needed for the restore. More particularly, backing up this area includes specifying the programs to copy and execute on restore, any error handling, and any special driver files to load. For example, if the system has devices that require special drivers or support, information about these drivers can be stored on the floppy disk 68 so that these drivers will be loaded during the restore phase. Thus, if the backup device 74 has a special driver, that driver is identified in this area. The actual driver code file may be recorded on the floppy disk 68, the backup device 74, or on some combination of both, however as can be appreciated, if a special driver is needed for accessing the backup device 74, it will be written to the floppy disk 68 rather than to the backup device 74.
To collect the information, the backup program 60 calls a number of well-documented APIs (application programming interfaces), and performs other operations as described below. As a result, any backup program can integrate with the present invention framework as long as the backup program collects and writes the required information to be used during system recovery.
A first set of information is collected via a Backup( ) API 80 that provides a set of common and well-documented functionality to collect information and state on a running system. This API 80, the Backup Read( ) API (and similarly the Backup Write( ) API) handles some of the collection of information on programs and processes 82 that are in use and whose state is changing.
A second operation performed by the backup program 60 is to query the system for the hard disk state, i.e., the disk geometry. To this end, common, documented APIs 84 exist (publicly available in the Software Development Kit and/or Device Driver Kit from Microsoft� Corporation, Redmond, Wash.) and are provided to determine the number of partitions and volumes on one or more hard disks 86 connected to the system. These APIs 84 also provide information on partition types, formats, labels, and offsets, e.g., where the partitions are located on the disk, where the boot volume and system volume are located and so on. For example, a partition table may be constructed that identifies the number of sectors, which sectors are in which partition, which and where various volume managers are used, and so on. As described below, this information is saved with the state files 62 in a special "sif" (System Information File) format.
A third operation performed by the backup program 60 is to collect system registry 88 information, again via common (NT Registry) APIs 90. As is well-known, the system registry 88 essentially comprises a database of properties, settings and other information used by the operating system and applications at various times to perform various functions. For example, the registry 88 includes information on specific devices and drivers installed on this system, such as the hard disk controller and audio card. Via this set of common APIs 90 and conventions for retrieving the data stored in the registry 88, the saved registry may be recreated and/or adjusted on a restored system.
A fourth operation that the backup program 60 performs is to query the system catalog state via a query component 92. In general, this query component 92 finds and reads the description of the set of files 94 that cannot be modified by any application or system service, and have to be identical to those present in the operating system's CD since its release. Such files may be marked with a file attribute or the like for identification, in accordance with system file protection (SFP) features.
It should be noted that other information may be collected in a similar manner, thereby extending the backup and restore capabilities. For example, one or more functions, such as performed via an API, may obtain network state information, whereby the precise network state may be reconstructed on a restored machine. Video cards, RAM, and other devices on may have state saved therefor in a similar manner, whereby if the a new system has at least the same sizes as the original machine, the original machine may be reconfigured. Also, some programs (such as IIS) have their own database of information. APIs may similarly back up this information on a running system.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, once this information is collected, it is written out to the floppy disk 68 and/or backup device 74 in defined formats to be used by the restore component (FIG. 3). The saved information collected from the Backup APIs 80, and anything else that needs to be restored, e.g., application programs 66 and/or their data 67 (FIG. 3), is written in whatever format the backup/restore programs need and IA require. The system configuration portion of the state information is written out to in a defined "sif" format, along with additional files, as described below. The catalog information 96 is also written to the floppy disk drive 68.
A preferred format for a sif file 98 written by the backup application 60 is a text file that matches a particular syntax and format. This file comprises a self-contained summary of the system state that specifies, among other things, the hard disk state of the system and the location of key partitions where the operating system (e.g., Windows� 2000) is located. A sif file 98 (
When later interpreted by a restore process 70 (FIG. 3), the sif file 98 will be used to reconstruct the state of the machine prior to failure. Note that the sif file 98 stores information such as the size of the disk, whether the volume was mirrored, striped, the volume managers used and other pieces of information that enable the disk state to be rebuilt on another system. Also, some manufacturers reserve a partition on the disk which may need to be read sector by sector to preserve it for later preservation, and although this data is ordinarily not stored in the sif file 98, the sif file 98 may include the information as to how to restore it.
Also written out by the backup program is the catalog 96 that comprises an enumeration of the required system files that need to be present in the system, and that cannot be altered. This ensures that the appropriate files will be available for the new system configuration. When the above tasks are finished, the system information has been recorded to one or more suitable backup devices. At this time, the recorded information can be used to recover a system.
Restoration of System State
As described above, a second, restore component of the present invention is directed to restoring the system state after a failure. This second, restore component of the Automated System Recovery (ASR) process includes two phases, whereby each phase ensures that the right data and configuration is restored properly and in the correct order. The ASR framework/mechanism provides a simple and a fast solution to the problem of restoring a system after failure by executing a set of documented and defined operations to restore the system. The information provided by the backup program (or programs) 60 will be used to restore the system.
The extensible framework for restore is generally shown in
During the setup process, the system operator is given an opportunity to select and run ASR 104. When selected, ASR 104 prompts the operator for the floppy disk 68 (or other medium) that includes the information saved during the backup phase. The sif file 98 thus may guide various aspects of the setup process.
In a first phase of recovery, ASR runs the restore process 70 to read the sif file 98 in order to compare and restore the underlying disk state of the system, with respect to disk partitions, layout, and offsets as specified in the sif file 98. For example, the restore process 70 scans the disk partition or partitions and volume or volumes, using the information saved in the sif file 98 to compare the current state of the disk partitions and volumes on the new system with the former system. If there are any differences, the disk and volume state are restored according to the saved information, e.g., the disk 86 r (where subscript "r" indicates the restored counterpart to the former system) is appropriately partitioned and the appropriate volumes set up. The partitioning of disks and creation of volumes is well known, and is thus not described in detail herein for purposes of simplicity. Note that if the disks and the volumes existing on the system are not identical to the original disks and volumes that were present when the backup was made, the volume and disk information is adjusted and restored to the best possible extent. For example, if the former system had two partitions, each on separate four-gigabyte disks, equivalent partitions may be established on a portion of a fourteen-gigabyte disk of a newly configured system. The adjusting for such differences is further described in the copending United States patent application entitled, "System Recovery By Restoring Hardware State on Non-Identical Systems," assigned to the assignee of the present invention, filed concurrently herewith, and hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Once the underlying system state is restored, an 7 environment is created so that the operating system files and data files 68 described above may be restored. To this end, a restore environment is created by copying the files that are required to run the programs that will restore the remainder of the files. More particularly, the set of files required to start a graphical user interface (GUI) environment that will let the restore program or programs 100 (written for the Windows 32-bit platform run and execute) are copied to the boot volume 106 and system volume 108, i.e., at least the core operating system files are copied. Note that these files may be on the same volume. Also, the restore application program 100 is copied to the hard disk (unless already present on an intact volume). The registry 88 r may also be copied at this time. Once these files are copied, the system is restarted.
After the files are copied and the reboot occurs, the next phase begins by initializing the environment. Initializing involves re-detecting any new devices that have been attached to the system, and installing any needed drivers 110 or files used by the restore program or programs 110. The automatic detection of hardware and/or installation of corresponding software by an operating system is well known, (e.g., plug and play technology) and is thus not described herein in detail. Note that at this time, the system catalog 96 has also been accessed, and is used to prevent the restoration of a different version of any of the files that are identified in the catalog 96.
To further configure the environment for the programs, ASR (via the operating system) thus detects and installs drivers 110 and support for devices installed on the system. This ensures that devices (such as a tape drive) are available for the restore program 100. These drivers and support for these drivers are normally loaded from the operating system CD, however as described above, any specialized drivers and support therefor that may have been present were saved as part of the backup process to ensure their availability, and thus may be loaded from the floppy disk 68 or the like. Any changed information is recorded in the registry 88 r.
After the environment is configured, the restore program or programs 110 are run according to the instructions that were saved in the sif file 98 during the backup process. This will usually result in restoring the operating system and data files from the backup device 74. In the event of an error condition, the instructions specified will be executed. Note that during restoration, if a volume is found intact, that volume is not restored, potentially saving considerable time.
For example, it is possible that only the boot volume was damaged, whereby only the boot volume 106 need be restored to restore the system. In any event, after restoring the data files, the system 20 r is then restarted, after which the restoration and recovery is complete.
The present invention will now be summarized with respect to the flow diagrams of
Step 608 represents the writing out of the file and other data (collected at step 600) to be backed up by the backup program 60 according to its desired format. In keeping with the present invention, at step 610, the state data collected via steps 602-604 is written out to the floppy disk 68, including the sif file 98, the list of programs and commands needed for restoration, and any custom drivers. Lastly, step 612 represents the writing out of the catalog information 96 gathered by step 606. Note that these steps need not be performed in the order shown in FIG. 6. For example, the various pieces of information may be recorded as soon as each piece is collected, rather than first collecting the information before performing any writing.
Returning to
As represented by step 704, the ASR mechanism (restore process 70) of the present invention next scans the disk partitions, volumes and so forth of the current system to compare with the state information stored for the previous system in the sif file 98 on the floppy disk 68. As described above, any system differences are detected at step 706, and adjusted for at step 708.
At step 710, the disk partition state is restored, for example, to establish the boot volume 106 and/or system volume 108 at their appropriate locations on the disk 86 r. Then, as described above, the files needed for providing a restoration environment (e.g., to run Win32 applications) are copied from the floppy disk 68 to the hard disk at step 712.
Returning to
Step 802 represents the running of the restore application program 100 that is the counterpart of the program used to back up the operating system files 72, applications 66 and data 67. If any errors are detected at step 804, step 806 is executed to handle the error, including executing any special error handling instructions that were saved during backup. Lastly, when restoration is complete, the system is restarted to clean up and remove the restoration environment, as represented by step 808. When restarted, the restoration and recovery is complete. Note that in addition to recovery, the present invention also may be used for replication of systems.
As can be seen from the foregoing detailed description, there is provided a method and framework that enables the backup and restoration of a failed system in an automated and efficient manner. In accordance with the framework, a backup component copies and stores the state that intrinsically defines the configuration of the computer system for potential and future recovery, and a two-phase restoration process uses the backed-up information to restore the system.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrated embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and have been described above in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form or forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Let me start off by saying I am unsure if I have high blood pressure or not. I have recently started medication for hypothyroidism. I know that at my last two doctor appointments my blood pressure must have been elevated because the doctor said that they could have been better and asked if a blood pressure problem runs in my family. I does -- my mom, uncle, aunt, and grandfather all had hypertension.
For a few years now I have been getting tremors, not just my hands, but all over my body. Some are barely noticeable, where other episodes even cause visible head bobbing and I have to lie down. My sister and husband have taken my blood pressure here at home during a shaking episode and the readings have been ranging between 150/90 to 160/110. I have laid down for a long rest and had it taken again and it was 140/80. I think the readings are high - am I right? I am not sure; the cuff could be bad. I also want to know if someone thinks my shaking is directly related to my blood pressure? I sometimes will swell up all over, but most noticeably from my knees down. Not all the time though. I plan on telling my doctor about all of this. What does my doctor need to do to make sure I am not developing an issue?READ MORE

Showtime for stem cells at San Diego biotechs
San Diego biotechnology and civic leaders threw their support behind stem cell research eight years ago, when the state's voters approved Proposition 71, the $3 billion state stem cell initiative.
Californians were promised that the research would lead to therapies for diseases and injuries that had no cure, such as spinal paralysis and diabetes. Once scientists had done the research, biotech companies in the field known as regenerative medicine would take over and bring the therapies to market.
San Diego research centers banded together to bring in stem cell grants, getting more than $261 million. Local leaders calculated there would be commercial benefits as well, reinforcing San Diego's stature as one of the world's top biotech centers.
Now, that commercialization is starting to take place. Local biotechs are testing stem cell therapies in patients, in the United States, in Europe and in China.
Cures for diabetes, heart failure, and even baldness are being developed by San Diego companies; the last two already being tested in patients. While these treatments are still experimental — success is far from certain — they provide a preliminary indication that regenerative medicine is on the road to becoming a new growth area for the region's large biotechnology industry.
About a dozen San Diego-based companies, such as ViaCyte, Histogen and Medistem, are working on treatments with various kinds of stem cells, the "ancestral" cells that give rise to the various cells in the body. Some are using cells derived from human embryos, still a controversial practice to many. But most others are using cells derived from nonembryonic sources, such as skin and umbilical cord blood.
These treatments are mostly in the early stages of clinical trials; meaning they will take years to get approval. But at least one local company, Cytori Therapeutics, has begun a "pivotal" trial of its stem cell treatment for heart failure, in Europe. A pivotal trial is designed to get the statistically significant evidence of effectiveness needed for regulatory approval.
Other San Diego stem cell companies conducting clinical trials include Medistem, for heart attack and heart failure patients; Fate Therapeutics, for blood stem cell transplantation; and Stemedica for heart attacks. ViaCyte is preparing to start a clinical trial with its own stem cell-based diabetes treatment, bolstered by a $10.1 million grant last month from the state's stem cell agency, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
To illustrate the challenges and opportunities facing local stem cell companies, the stories of Histogen, Medistem and Cytori are instructive. Histogen combines scientific acumen with hard-won business experience; Medistem has developed a technology around a special kind of stem cell; and Cytori has turned fat into something to be desired.
Histogen: First, find the market
Gail Naughton, Histogen's chief executive, learned about the promise and pitfalls of regenerative medicine at Advanced Tissue Sciences. Naughton, who holds a doctorate in hematology, founded the privately held company in New York in 1986 and later moved it to San Diego.
Advanced Tissue Sciences successfully developed a living skin replacement called Dermagraft now used to treat diabetic ulcers. But the company ultimately went bankrupt because of delays in getting insurer approvals for reimbursement. (Dermagraft is being sold today by Shire Regenerative Medicine, which makes it in San Diego.)

Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi on Monday said that those who staged a black flag demonstration against him on the High Court campus on Sunday were instigated by outsiders.
People would not forgive those who sought to convert the High Court into a battle ground, he said.
"Let us all forget yesterday's incident and show people a good path," he told parties in the Assembly and advocates.
Expressing his regret over the attack on journalists, Mr. Karunanidhi said that such an incident would not recur. Better security would be provided to journalists, he added.
Replying to a special call attention notice given by a host of parties, Mr. Karunanidhi told the Assembly that he did not understand why the demonstrators, numbering five or six, shouted slogans ("we will not allow") against him, when he began to address a function to unveil the statue of the Constitution Draft Committee chairman B.R. Ambedkar on the High Court campus.
The protesters did not raise slogans when he entered the premises or when he came on to the dais.
Referring to the Communist Party of India (Marxist) floor leader K. Balabharathy's appreciation of Mr. Karunanidhi's composure during the incident, the Chief Minister recounted how former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had praised him once when she along with him attended a function in Tuticorin.
"Till the end, I will continue to speak, whether a snake is let loose where I speak or stones and slippers are thrown," he declared.
Democratic protest
Giving an elaborate account of his role in perpetuating Ambedkar's memory and how his party had organised several black flag agitations, the Chief Minister recalled that he had unveiled a statue of the Dravida Kazhagam founder E.V. Ramasamy at the spot in Cuddalore where a slipper was thrown at the DK leader once.
Through democratic means, the DMK and the Dravidian movement had conducted black flag protests.
Referring to the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) whip T. Velmurugan's observation that talks could have been held with all sections before the function was held, Mr. Karunanidhi said that not only office-bearers of the Madras High Court Advocates Association president but also a judge of the Madras High Court had spoken to all sections and counselled them not to create any trouble.
Then, they had assured the authorities of their cooperation.
Lawyers' demand
On the lawyers' demand for action against four police officers, he said the officers had obtained a stay order from courts against the government move.
D. Jayakumar (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) called for action against those who indulged in violence and wanted the Chief Minister to own up responsibility and tender his resignation.
Legislators C. Gnanasekaran (Congress), T. Sadan Thirumalai Kumar (Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam), V. Sivapunniyam (CPI) and D. Ravikumar (Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi) deplored the attack on journalists.

The fully-equipped kitchen is stocked with all appliances including a coffee grinder, blender, microwave, dishwasher, and a food processor. and 30 bottle wine cooler. The kitchen has just been updated with stainless steel professional range and stainless steel refrigerator and microwave. Basic condiments, spices, olive oil, and rice are also supplied.
The canopied, tiled terrace offers spectacular views and al fresco dining. Gas Weber grill and small bar with two round tables provide seating for 8. An automatic retracting sumbrella canopy provides shade from the sun.........and is retractable remotely to enjoy dining al fresco. Stone steps lead you down through tropical vegetation to a private sun deck at the water's edge. There is easy access to the water, where spectacular snorkeling on your own private reef awaits you. The sun deck is a perfect place to wind down and watch a beautiful sunset or the pelicans frolicking. It's also a wonderful place to curl up with a good book. A nice collection of books....providing hours of just chilling or enjoy a movie from the video collection.
We have been traveling to St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands since 1982...we knew we wanted a vacation home on the water somewhere in the Caribbean....and we checked out every island ...we were drawn to St. Thomas because it is a US possession...we love the weather, the many direct flights from the states, the food and culture here...two of our sons followed us here and started a business 10 years ago. My youngest grandson was born here in 2009.
Privacy and beauty abound...great separation of sleeping areas....delightful kitchen that is stocked with basic spices, olive oil & condiments, coffee, paper products & dishwashing & laundry detergents....just ready for the chef's personal touch!!!
We had a wonderful time of fellowship with our family. Every day was an adventure. We did not miss a day of snorkeling...sometimes twice a day. St. Thomas was wonderful as always but it was very special staying in your wonderful home...in a way we felt like Swiss Family Robinson staying there. We loved it and all plan to return again soon, Brought the baby's crib down to the sundeck many times. Thank you so much fo having us....Rosedale & Port Allen Lousiana
We were amazed at how large the house was. We were two couples and had plenty of privacy. The home was very cozy. We enjoyed the deck and wish we had more time here to enjoy the view. Cobia was so helpful and was quick to respond to our questions. We would highly encourage you to stay at this beautiful home. We hope to return with our family.
Exactly what we came for, sun and relaxation. Really did not need to go anywhere else on the island. In fact went to a restaurant on someones recomendation (the view and the food). Should have just stayed at Casa, the view's much better. Sunbathing and snorkeling just below the house. If you want a sandy beach, it's only a few minutes drive.
Cobia was a great host and very helpful. Only regret was not being able to stay longer.
Casa Jo Mama was just what my husband and I needed- privacy, comfort, peace, and quiet. We felt right at home, completely relaxed, and extremely serene. The owners were over-the-top helpful and accommodating, completely flexible with us and our dates. We would recommend Casa Jo Mama, and highly recommend this place especially for a small family or up to 3 couples. We hope to return!
After cruising to St. Thomas several times we decided to rent a home and enjoy more time on this beautiful island. Casa Jomama did not disappoint! The layout of the home is perfect for the group we were travelling with, two couples with two adult daughters. The views are breathtaking from every vantage point of the home. We loved late afternoon swims and lazing on the dock to watch the sunset. The upper deck is great for BBQ's and breakfast...I really miss my morning coffee in the oh so comfy chairs with the iguanas lazing on the rocks beside the house. The addition of the outdoor toilet and shower was great. I felt like I was showering in the rain forest...it was so awesome!!The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, wonderful air conditioning and the fully stocked kitchen was great for meal preparation...although we only had two dinners at home. St. Thomas offers so many wonderful eating establishments we had to try!! Cobia was more than accommodating at the end of our trip when we had an unfortunate situation occur...we truly appreciated his services. After a horrible winter in Southwestern Ontario , where winter started in early November and never stopped and still hasn't stopped... we enjoyed a wonderful week at Casa Jomama and can't wait to return!!! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise!
My Wife and I stayed in Casa Jo Mama for our Honeymoon and will 100% be back sometime soon! This place was absolutely perfect! First off, we were welcomed by Cobia who is a great guy and willing to help with anything. We never had any issues, but Cobia was just a phone call away if we ever needed him.
The house is stunningly beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice. To be able to walk out of the back sliding glass door and see the most beautiful view possible of Magens bay is amazing. Then take a short walk down to the deck and just hop right in. Inside the home, there is plenty of room for a decent sized group (which we will have next time) and great accommodations. The AC blows cold, beds are cozy, kitchen is fully stocked with every possible thing you need, really no complaints.
If you like to swim this place is for you. We went many places during our stay to snorkel/dive on St Thomas, St John, BVI, etc and just keep coming back to our little private place right off the back of the deck. I loved hopping in for a morning swim before cooking breakfast, just overall amazing. Honestly, we loved the island but found ourselves not wanting to leave Casa Jo Mama, it just has everything.
Our stay at Casa yo mama exceeded all our expectations. Cobia went above and beyond as Mother Nature wrath held us up day and other guests were stranded at airport. The ocean views and lower
Deck was our favorite , morning and night swims perfect way to start and end our day. Making plans for next march for another visit and will be staying at your beautiful home...Ron
Casa Jo Mama is located on Picarra Point on the Peterborg Peninsula...with over 200' directly on Magens Bay offering superb snorkeling from the sundeck at the water's edge. Enjoy the privacy and watch the pelicans frolic in the crystal clear waters. What a paradise!!

Camp organised following Governor's directive
PATHANAMTHITTA: A 10-member medical team attached to the Health Department visited the Kurumbatty division of the Kumbazha Estate at Chengara on Monday, extending medical assistance to the encroachers owing allegiance to the Sadhu Jana Vimochana Samyukta Vedi following reports of several cases of waterborne diseases from the area recently.
Nearly 600 people, including senior citizens, women and children, availed themselves of the health care facilities provided at a medical camp organised at the estate, according to District Medical Officer Aysha Bai.
Many of the patients were found afflicted with fever, jaundice and other waterborne diseases. There were also a few cases of TB, according official sources.
Anaemic patients
A good number of the patients appeared to be anaemic. Three patients were referred to the General Hospital here. District Collector P.C. Sanalkumar and the DMO visited the estate in the afternoon.
According to the sources, the medical camp was organised on the directions of Governor R.S. Gavai. A group of social activists led by B.R.P. Bhaskar, senior journalist, had called on the Governor recently alleging denial of food and medicines to the Vedi workers.

Evenly-Matched Gardenia Draws 10
Larry Richardson's Midway Holiday, a winner of three of six lifetime starts and an even fourth last out in the Virginia Oaks (gr. IIIT), is one of a pair of 3-year-old fillies entered in a wide-open edition of the $100,000 Gardenia Handicap (gr. III) Aug. 14 at Ellis Park.
The one-mile Gardenia is the lone graded stakes of the meet at the Henderson, Ky., racetrack and is ninth of 10 races on the Saturday program. Post time is set for 4:53 p.m. CDT.
Midway Holiday won both starts as a juvenile at Fair Grounds last year on turf, and was third in the grade III Bourbonette Oaks at Turfway Park in March. She won a second-level allowance race on the Churchill Downs dirt before the Virginia Oaks try.
Victor Lebron, who won the Gardenia aboard Swift Temper in 2008, will have the mount for Greg Foley, the trainer of 2007 winner Pleasant Hill.
The other 3-year-old in the race is Carl Pollard's Tap Tap Tapping, who finished a distant runner-up in an optional claimer July 18 on the slop at Ellis. The David Vance trainee was third to No Such Word in the Honeybee (gr. III) at Oaklawn Park in March, and second to Ailalea in the Dogwood Stakes (gr. III) at Churchill in May.
Dale Romans has saddled a pair of Gardenia winners (Angela's Love in 2004, Swift Temper) and will send out Donald Dizney's Century Park this time. Winner of the Santa Ysabel (gr. III) and TVG California Cup Distance Handicap last year at Santa Anita while trained by Bob Baffert, 4-year-old General Meeting filly has not hit the board in four starts in 2010. She shipped east for Romans earlier this year and finished fifth in an optional claimer last out June 18 at Churchill.
The 124-pound high weight in the field of 10 is West Hope, a group II winner in Brazil last year. Lady's Laughter was third in the 2009 Gardenia.

Hawaii Tax ID # W-64746898-01
Keywords: Studio Condo
We bought this oceanfront condo because:
- it sits right on the water's edge
- we have enjoyed vacationing in Kona over the past 20 years
- the seaside pool is gated for privacy and security
- we like to fall asleep to the sound of the surf every night
- we enjoy watching the tropical fish, dolphins & whales swim by each morning
- it's only a few feet to snorkel,swim, sun, or snooze on Magic Sands Beach next door
- the Kona trolley stops right at our parking lot ($2 each way) so it is easy to get around in Kailua-Kona
The great thing about our condo is that you never have to leave the property to still have a relaxing vacation. You can watch the waves all day from bed, the dining table, or the living room. Our kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances and tools you need to create your favorite cuisine. Curl up with a good book and the sound of the surf or enjoy one of our 35 movies from our Clint Eastwood DVD Collection (bet there is at least one you haven't seen yet!) There is additional free WiFi at the pool area (which is never crowded) and it is a nice place to have a family BBQ or dinner party. Save money on your car rental - you can take an airport shuttle direct to our door, and use the Local trolley ($2) for groceries, shopping at the farmers' market, or a quick lunch or dinner downtown. We also have access to private tour companies who will pick you up and drop you back at your door.
Hawaii Tax ID W-64746898 - 01
This place has an amazing view and if you have never been to Hawaii, you should choose this place. The vacation would not have been the same without the stunning ocean view. The price is well worth it and since it comes with a kitchen, you will save money by preparing some of your meals at home. We were able to see whales one morning and a school of dolphins another morning over coffee. The location is great, just 10 minutes from downtown Kona. This condo is highly recommended.
We had an excellent stay, found the property to be exactly as advertised. Could not have found a better place to spend our vacation on the big island
What a surprise and what a great place to stay. This vacation rental is so near the water that on one windy afternoon, the waves were splashing the screen. It's a lovely location, too. Close to town but also with easy access to the grocery store away from the center of town too. It was really nice to have the pool right on the water. Some days I just wanted calm water and it seemed like the best of both worlds.
One caution. if you are a light sleeper, the ocean can be almost too close. Can't close the doors because there is no air conditioning. However, I worried the first night about the noise and then fell right to sleep to the sound of the waves.
The only thing I would change is to add some places to put things. It's beautifully decorated but not much room for unpacking and no place to put the suitcase if you don't unpack.
I have already recommended this place to two friends who are coming to Kona later this year. Reasonable price, comfortable and well located.
This condo was loaded with extras. Anything you could think of for cooking, paper supplies, soap etc.
Spectacular view in a well maintained unit made for an enjoyable worry free month long retreat from the real world! The location is ideal being 31/2 miles from downtown Kona and situated between a park and a beach. Couldn't have ask for more...very enjoyable!
We loved it! The pictures are accurate on the appearance of the condo, and we were pleasantly surprised at all the amenities. There was nothing that we needed that was not provided. From kitchen necessities to beach accessories, it was all there. And the beautiful sunsets---WOW is the only word to describe them. The condo was clean and well located right next to the beach and minutes from downtown Kona. We would recommend to anyone planning a visit. All you have to bring is a bathing suit and a few clothes. All the rest is provided. We would be back tomorrow if we could. Thank you for making our trip so pleasant and comfortable.
This well appointed and comfortable condo is the perfect spot for a romantic birthday surprise. We enjoyed every moment of our stay; the beach, waves, views, sun, snorkeling, hiking, exploring, our list goes on and on. What a great location, and such wonderful hosts! M & V can't thank you enough for everything, it was fantastic. Hope to visit again soon.

"A team of academics commissioned by the ministry to research policies in other countries concerning official registration on gender diversity suggested that the gender marking on national ID cards and the use of the number '1' in national ID numbers to indicate the male gender and '2' to indicate the female gender should all be voided," a statement released by the ministry yesterday said. "As the suggestion may involve responsibilities of different government agencies and relevant policies still need to be discussed, the ministry has no plan to turn it into actual policy in the foreseeable future."
The statement said that according to information that the ministry has collected, gender is marked in passports in countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Japan, the UK, Canada, South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam.
"Besides Australia, where a third gender is allowed on passports, all other countries only allow passport holders to check either the male or the female gender," it said.
"In addition, in all countries that issue national ID cards, none has voided the gender marking," the ministry added.

Sangeeta Nighantu, a dictionary on the art form, will be released today
Music lovers could, from November 15, turn to a dictionary that will help them understand the beautiful blend of silence and sound that the art form is.
The dictionary, 'Sangeeta Nighantu', has been put together by V.T. Sunil, an assistant professor at the Sree Swathi Thirunal Government College of Music. It took Mr. Sunil's 15 long years to create the encyclopaedic text, detailing the various dimensions of music, from instruments and composers to ragas, the usages of certain 'taala' or rhythms and other little nuances that constructs the musical scene in the country.
827 pages
The volume, consisting of 827 pages, has been arranged as per alphabetical order.
"Taking into account that there has been no such text formerly published, I hope that it will be of interest for everyone remotely interested in music," said Mr. Sunil. The author has also included snippets of western music literature as well.
Sangeeta Nighantu, a dictionary on the art form, will be released on November 15

Some atheists may ask questions on the Internet that they wouldn't have asked in church.
The Internet has become the de facto global church for atheists, agnostics and other doubters of God, who of course don't have bricks-and-mortar churches in which to congregate.
We see this phenomenon in motion every day on the CNN Belief Blog, where atheists/agnostics/humanists are among the most zealous commenters.
Recent string of posts around the question of "Where was God in Aurora?" (such as this and this) drew especially large waves of comments that show atheists are using the Internet to commune with one another and to confront religious believers in ways that they don't usually do in church.
Atheists and other secularists have offline organizations that stage in-person meetings – the Secular Student Alliance has seen its number of campus chapters quadruple in the last five years, to 368 – but the Internet has probably played a bigger role in the rise of the so-called New Atheism. The movement's adherents evangelize their godlessness, just as many religious folks evangelize their God, often taking to the Belief Blog to do so.
"A lot of millennials who are coming of age have found that the Internet is a fantastic place to talk about their doubt," says Jesse Galef, communications director for the Secular Student Alliance. "Before the Internet, there was no place for young people to do that. The only place to go was really church, and that wasn't always a welcoming place.
"But they can go online and discuss these ideas without being judged by friends and families," Galef says.
For closeted atheists, the Internet's anonymity is a big draw. A coalition of national atheist groups recently launched a program to transition doubting clergy to lives of open atheism by first having ministers come out anonymously in a closed online community.

This book has all the ingredients a thriller should have. We have a futuristic theme-park with a bunch of terrorists threatening to kill people if their demands aren't met and any move to try to warn the customers or try to determine how the terrorists have infiltrated the computer systems, will result in many customer deaths.
In the theme park called Utopia, holographic technology and realistic historical depictions are the norm with robots performing maintenance and in some instances, serving the clients. Something seems to cause the robots to malfunction (I just remember the line "Welcome to Westworld, where nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong..."). The robot's programmer is called in to deprogram and remove the robots. What he finds is that instead of accidental system problems, someone has planted a "Trojan horse" program that causes the malfunctions.
Meanwhile, the park's management is approached by a terrorist, to give the master program of the park's core program, or a lot of people will die. We later find that this program could be used by the military to defeat heat seeking missiles and other programmed armaments. Therefore, giving up the code could have world-wide ramifications.
The story progresses to an exciting conclusion. The only issue I had that prevented me from giving it 5 stars, is people are getting hurt and killed on the attractions and the park officials are able to keep it quiet from law enforcement. I you can overlook this, then it should be a perfect thriller.

South Texas Music Walk of Fame this weekend in Corpus Christi
Go on surfin' safari downtown
CORPUS CHRISTI - Stars, surf and sounds are scheduled for the Water Street Market Friday and Saturday.
Visitors can either meet local music icons or learn about some of the state's greatest surfers during celebrations of the eighth annual South Texas Music Walk of Fame and the latest exhibit opening at the Texas Surf Museum.
The music walk of fame, which was an attraction during the Water Street Surf, Art and Music Festival, has grown into a stand-alone event.
This year's inductees include country music artist and songwriter Walt Wilkins, Americana duo The McKay Brothers, heavy metal superstar Jason McMaster — the first heavy metal inductee for the walk — Latin rock group Vallejo, Tejano star Lee Martinez Jr. and the late Henry Cuesta, a former jazz performer for the Lawrence Welk Orchestra.
Past inductees of the walk of fame include Selena Quintanilla-Perez, Freddie Fender, Roger Creager and Eddie Olivares Sr.
"We celebrate artists who are part of today's scene … (and) who are long gone with a fabulous footprint in the music," said Sue Donahoe, co-founder of the South Texas Music Walk of Fame. "All have made a significant contribution to South Texas music."
Concerts Friday and Saturday at Executive Surf Club feature performances by four of the inductees.
But the stars will shine a little differently depending on which concert fans attend.
Broken Teeth, McMaster's newest band, and Vallejo will perform during the Rock Award Show at 8:30 p.m. Friday at Executive Surf Club.
Wilkins and country artist Pat Grogan, a 2009 South Texas Music Walk of Fame inductee, will perform at 8:30 p.m. Saturday during the Country Award Show at Executive Surf Club.
"That is a very diverse, strong lineup," Donahoe said of the two days. "Two concerts are clearly necessary."
The ribbon-cutting for the walk of fame begins at 10 a.m. Saturday followed by an acoustic performance from The McKay Brothers. The inductees will be present to meet with fans.
A ribbon ceremony for the "Top Guns of Texas: The New Millennium of Texas Gulf Surfing Association" will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Texas Surf Museum, 309 N. Water Street.
Surfers featured in the exhibit and the inductees from the South Texas Music Walk of Fame also will be available to meet with visitors.
The exhibit, which is free, focuses on the next generation of surfers from Texas, including their history and championships won as well as teams and shops that support competitive surfing in Texas. The museum also displays hundreds of photos of Texas surfing pioneers and surfboards dating back to the 1960s.
"It proves the point," Donahoe said. "Texas surfers, past and present, can stand tall and proud among the surfing champions from anywhere in the world."
The Texas Surf Museum, which opened in 2005, is the only museum in Texas devoted to surfing — and its culture — in the state.
Where: Water Street Courtyard, between Water and Chaparral streets at William Street
When: Friday and Saturday
Cost: Free to $10
8:30 p.m.: Rock Award show featuring Jason McMaster with Broken Teeth and Vallejo, Executive Surf Club, 309 N. Water St., $10
10 a.m.: Ribbon-cutting for 2011 South Texas Music Walk of Fame with acoustic performance by The McKay Brothers, Water Street Courtyard, free
11 a.m.: Ribbon-cutting for "Top Guns of Texas: The Millennium of Texas Gulf Surfing Association," Water Street Courtyard, free
8:30 p.m.: Country Award show featuring Pat Grogan and Walt Wilkins, Executive Surf Club, 309 N. Water St., $8

Video: The Concert Corner - Summerfest, Harley-Davidson's 110th, Garbage and more
Lot to run through in the Concert Corner chat this week. A whopping 96 bands were announced last week to play Summerfest and the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary. And then there was Garbage's return to Milwaukee for the first time since 2005. Plus there's a lot to look forward to this week: the Joy Formidable, the Last Bison, the WAMI Awards.
So I tried to condense all this in my chat with CineStars' Brittany Umar, but of course couldn't get terribly deep. You can follow the links for more information on Summerfest 2013 headliners, the Harley-Davidson 110th anniversary lineup, the Garbage Eagles Ballroom show, Joy Formidable at Turner Hall Ballroom and the WAMI Awards. »Read Full Blog Post

Pink Banana plays relationship games in 'The Honeymoon Is Over'
The Pink Banana Theatre Company is calling its 10th annual one-act play festival "The Honeymoon Is Over." But the eight short plays unspooling over this fun, two-hour night feel more like a reprise of last year's festival, aptly named "Game Night."
Once again, Pink Banana is asking why we play the games we do — and what happens when our games grow stale, transforming a relationship's potentially liberating rituals into overly scripted routines. »Read Full Article

Also, if you're like me and you're entertaining the thought "but what if leaving him for good is the worst mistake of my life? What if we're meant to be together", perhaps it might help to think that if you are meant to be, it's going to happen whether you fight for it or not. Who knows what the future holds way down the road? But today, right now, he is exactly who he is willing and capable of being...if you do not accept that person completely, then it's only fair to be honest about it.
I also agree with carriemama about giving yourself the gift of stillness. When in doubt, do nothing.

BURLEY, Idaho -- Deputies with the Cassia County Sheriff's Office are investigating after two men were reported missing from a motel in Burley.
Sheriff Randy Kidd says there are suspicious circumstances in the case, but he's not yet sure if a crime has been committed.
He declined to release many details, but said officials began investigating Friday evening after learning that tenants James Duane Ambrose and Russ Taft were missing. He said deputies obtained search warrants and searched some locations, but he would not say if those searches took place at the Alpine Motel where the men had been living.
Kidd said a taxi cab owned by the motel had gone missing and was involved in an accident in Las Vegas Saturday. No other details were released.

Washington is talking tough on ISIS, but its plans for intervention don't seem to measure up
Monday, August 25, 2014
A growing number of high-ranking American officials say that ISIS, the militant group that controls much of northern Iraq, must be defeated. The White House is considering plans to send ground troops to aid Iraq in the fight, but experts say even those expanded plans won't be enough to win.

Industry should support the review of the existing self-regulatory guidelines for advertising directed to children. It should also expand the guidelines to advertising vehicles beyond those used in traditional advertising to include evolving vehicles and venues for marketing communication and apply and enforce the guidelines for the traditional and expanded vehicles. Companies should consider developing their own advertising and marketing guidelines for children that are consistent with the industry-wide guidelines.
Recommendation 2: Policy makers, program planners, program implementers, and other interested stakeholders—within and across relevant sectors—should evaluate all childhood obesity prevention efforts, strengthen the evaluation capacity, and develop quality interventions take into account diverse perspectives, that use culturally relevant approaches, and that meet the needs of diverse populations and contexts.
Implementation Actions for Industry
Industry should partner with government, academic institutions, and other interested stakeholders to undertake evaluations to assess its progress in preventing childhood obesity and promoting healthy lifestyles.
To accomplish this,
Industry should evaluate its progress in developing and promoting affordable foods, beverages, and meals that support a healthful diet; physical activity products and opportunities; storylines and programming that promote healthy lifestyles; and advertising and marketing practices directed to children and youth.
Industry should provide resources and expertise to local businesses and community-based organizations to implement and evaluate initiatives that provide opportunities for consumers to engage in healthful eating and regular physical activity, especially for children and youth in racially and ethnically diverse groups and high-risk populations.
Recommendation 3: Government, industry, communities, and schools should expand or develop relevant surveillance and monitoring systems and, as applicable, should engage in research to examine the impact of childhood obesity prevention policies, interventions, and actions on relevant outcomes, paying particular attention to the unique needs of diverse groups and high-risk populations.
