Zerah or Zérach (זֶרַח / זָרַח "Sunrise", Standard Hebrew Zéraḥ / Záraḥ, Tiberian Hebrew Zéraḥ / Zāraḥ) refers to five different people in the Hebrew Bible.
A Righteous Edomite[edit]
Zerah was the name of an Edomite Chief. He was listed as the second son of Reuel, son of Basemath, who was Ishmael's daughter and one of the wives of Esau the brother of Jacob (Israel) (Genesis 36:13 and 36:17).
The Cushite[edit]
Zerah the Cushite, is an individual mentioned by the Book of Chronicles as having invaded the Kingdom of Judah with an enormous army, in the days of Asa.[1] According to the text, when Zerah's army reached that of Asa at Zephathah,[2] Zerah's army was utterly defeated, by divine intervention,[3] and Asa's forces collected a large volume of spoils of war.[4]
The invasion, and its implied time-frame, means that the traditional view was to consider this Zerah to have actually been Osorkon II or Osorkon I,[5] both being rulers of Egypt. Osorkon II, is known to have entered the Kingdom of Judah, with a huge army, in 853BC; however, rather than attacking Judah, the army was just passing through, on its way to attack the Assyrian forces. In addition, Asa's reign is traditionally dated to have ended in 873BC. In the Book of Kings, which doesn't mention Asa's defeat of Zerah, Asa is described as being extremely weak from a defensive point of view,[6] and Biblical scholars regard the idea that Asa could defeat an enormous Egyptian army to be untenable.[7]
Furthermore, Cushite refers to Kush (historic Ethiopia), and it is unclear why either Osorkon should be described as a Cushite,[8] since the assertion would be unjustified.[9] It is a possibility that Cushite (כושי)is a typographic error for Kassite (כישי), and that it consequently refers to a Babylonian (Kassite) invasion,[8] but it is considered far more likely that it refers to an invasion by a marauding group of Arabs,[7][8][10] whose numbers have been vastly exaggerated.[10]
Under King Rehoboam of Judah (the southern kingdom of Israel), Jerusalem is attacked and plundered by Shishak king of Egypt (2 Chronicles 12:9), who actually is Pharaoh Hedjkheperre Setepenre Shoshenq I (c.943-922 BCE). He was a Libyan-Berber Meshwesh king of Egypt and the founder of the Twenty-second Dynasty. King Asa, grandson of King Jeroboam, was attacked by Zerah, whose name is close to Sekhemkheperre—meaning "Powerful are the Manifestations of Re"--, a throne name for Osorkon I. Zerah is more likely Osorkon I or Osorkon II because King Asa's reign coincides with their period of rule over Egypt. In addition, Berber people, most of whom are dark-skinned, are easily confused with the Nubians or black Africans referred to as Cushites in the Bible.
Son of Tamar[edit]
According to the Book of Genesis, Zerah was the son of Tamar and of Judah, and was the twin of Pharez.[11] The text says that he was called Zerah because when he had stuck his hand out before being born, the midwife tied a bright scarlet thread around his wrist;[11] although all other biblical uses of the word zerah translate as rise, here the name is implied to derive from the colour of the bright thread - scarlet - which is similar to the initial colour of sunrise. This same Zerah is briefly mentioned in the New Testament in Matthew 1:3.
Zerah is also listed as the ancestor of Achan, who was stoned to death as recounted in the Book of Joshua (Joshua 7:18 and 7:24, where Achan is called the son of Zerah, skipping the father and grandfather).
The Bible also identifies Zerah as the name of the founder of one of the Simeonite clans.[12]
Names in the Genealogies of the Book of Chronicles[edit]
Zerah was a Gershonite Levite (1 Chr. 6:21, 41).

CBS Suggests Government Subsidies to Lower Gas Prices
CBSŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Early ShowŌĆØ co-host Maggie Rodriguez suggested June 25 that the cure to high gas prices is to have the government subsidize oil. After blaming speculators for the prices, Rodiguez asked, ŌĆ£Given the dire situation here in our country, can't our government step in?ŌĆØ
Correspondent Sheila MacVicar reported that ŌĆ£getting behind the wheel feels like an outrageous extravaganceŌĆØ in some countries in Europe where gas is near $10 a gallon. Much of that, she pointed out, goes to governments that levy high taxes on gas.
ŌĆ£There are some places where gas is still a bargain. Countries that produce oil and subsidize the cost for domestic consumption,ŌĆØ said Rodriguez. ŌĆ£So in Mexico, filling up at $2 a gallon doesn't feel so bad. Or in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, where the price is $1.50. Iran, $1.20. The best bargain of all, oil-rich Venezuela, 15 cents. 15 cents a gallon.ŌĆØ
VenezuelaŌĆÖs ŌĆ£bargain,ŌĆØ of course, is thanks to its oil field-seizing dictator, Hugo Chavez, whom the media have glossed over.
Rodriguez said these other countries are ŌĆ£doing a much better job of keeping their prices in check.ŌĆØ
In an interview with U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, Rodriguez suggested that perhaps subsidies would be the solution to bring down gas prices in the United States.
ŌĆ£Can't our government step in and stop listening to the lobbyists and stop arguing about the role of speculators and do something substantive to bring down our prices?ŌĆØ she asked.
MacVicarŌĆÖs report also featured oil analyst John Hall, who said speculators are ŌĆ£very much to blame for the increased cost weŌĆÖve seen in the last year so.ŌĆØ
Echoing Hall, Snowe claimed speculation ŌĆ£contributes as much as $25, if not $60, to a barrel of oil.ŌĆØ However, some economists disagree with that claim.
Alan Reynolds, a senior fellow with the Cato Institute, wrote in The New York Post June 20 that ŌĆ£the urge to blame speculators is as big a waste of time as blaming oil companies. Americans want more oil and gas ŌĆō not more hot air from politicians.ŌĆØ

August is the summer movie dumping ground. But it also can be a time for decent films whose only flaw is that they're not about robots or superheroes.
"Our Idiot Brother" fits into this fast-shrinking niche.
It trades the frat-boy hazing that is a blockbuster tradition for a bittersweet, late-summer flavor. And it's as much about the "Our" as the "Brother."
The film was made by a brother-sister team; Evgenia Peretz co-wrote the screenplay with her husband David Schisgall, and Jesse Peretz, former bass player for the Lemonheads, directed. They are the children of Martin Peretz, the former editor-in-chief emeritus of The New Republic.
"Our Idiot Brothers" is a "Being There"-type story about a shaggy man-child, played by Paul Rudd, who changes people's lives without knowing it.
Being dumbfounded by the obvious and the ordinary causes him to notice less but see more. So naive that he gets arrested for selling marijuana to a uniformed cop - he wanted to give it to him for free - he is released from prison to find his organic-farmer girlfriend has moved on and that she is keeping his dog, Willie Nelson.
So he crashes on the couches, and inflatable raft, of his three sisters, played by a "Bridesmaids"-caliber group of actresses.
Elizabeth Banks plays a blunt and abrasive Vanity Fair writer, who has a friends-with-no-benefits relationship with her neighbor, played by Adam Scott, of "Parks and Recreation." Emily Mortimer is the mousy mother of three married to a philandering filmmaker played by Steve Coogan. And Zooey Deschanel is the maybe/maybe-not lesbian living with a butch lawyer played by "Parks and Rec" alumna Rashida Jones.
Along the way, Rudd's bumbling interference causes all the characters, including his own, to move off the schneid in some way.
Although it has indie roots - the film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival - it has as many stereotypes as complications, and tells a story as commercial as "The House Bunny."
Despite being rated R for nudity and language, "Our Idiot Brother" is made gently comic thanks to Rudd's fool-on-the-hill vibe and a quirky and effervescent supporting cast.
Our Idiot Brother ** 1/2
- Cast: Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan, Rashida Jones, Adam Scott
- Behind the scenes: Produced by Anthony Bregman, Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf. Written by Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall. Directed by Jesse Peretz.

ICANN chief stepping down in early 2016
The head of the group that oversees all Internet addresses will step down early next year, after a plan to end US oversight of the key nonprofit organization.
The head of the group that oversees all Internet addresses will step down early next year, after a plan to end US oversight of the key nonprofit organization.
The head of the nonprofit group that oversees the world's Internet addresses expressed confidence Thursday that it would be privatized and out of US government control by year's end.
The new Internet domain .sucks has stirred up a firestorm over free online speech and the potential for extortion against companies and individuals.
Plans to transfer control of Internet overseer ICANN from US hands to a globally representative body could be jeopardised unless a deal is reached before the 2016 US elections, the group's chief warned Monday.
The head of the Internet overseer ICANN conceded Thursday that the United States may have to extend its control over the group beyond September as governments bicker over a replacement regulatory regime.
The private agency that acts as a gatekeeper for the Internet on Wednesday said that hackers tricked their way into its computers.
The head of the private agency that acts as gatekeeper for the Internet called Tuesday for international discussions to ensure control of the web remains decentralised.
The head of the private agency entrusted with running the Internet has said that the group is on course to break free of US oversight late next year.
As the US steps back from overseeing the group entrusted to essentially run the Internet, states and corporations are grabbing for the reins.
Some came in suits, some came in stilettos, and some came in sci-fi t-shirts, but together they could shape the future of the Internet.
France strongly attacked the US-based body that assigns internet addresses on Wednesday, saying it was not a fit venue for internet governance and that alternatives should be sought.
The head of the Internet regulator says a push from China and Russia for governments to control the web will be "dead on arrival" but that he hopes a consensus will emerge before the US cedes its oversight ...
Online addresses ending in .wine and .vin are set to be uncorked soon, despite objections from European governments and several wine industry groups.
Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff took aim at US dominance of the Internet Wednesday, appealing for a new system that would make running of the online world "open to all."
Republican opposition to Obama administration plans to spin off U.S. oversight of the Internet's domain name system is evolving into an election-year political fight, with lawmakers using it as the latest front in their attacks ...

why are so many old black and white movies considered to be classics?

As has already been alluded to, there's a lot of "self-selection" in the old movies that tend to get shown these days - there's such an enormous pool to choose from, and such limited slots (and getting less all the time unfortunately) that it's not surprising that it's mostly only the "classics" that end up getting shown
Being "Old" or "black & white" aren't quality marks in themselves, but I do think that older movies were generally less constrained by notions of being "cool" or "hip", and concentrated more on straight ahead storytelling, which I appreciate more & more as time goes on.
What I do find very strange is that older movies tend to be much shorter than newer ones - you'd think that shorter attention spans these days and ever-faster editing would lead to the reverse, but not so... quite why dull sitcom "This Is 40" needed to be longer than "Citizen Kane", "It's A Wonderful Life" or "Vertigo" (hell, even "Star Wars") is something only Judd Apatow can tell us!

The olfactory structure in here is the A* Men's classic one (bombastic patchouli, minty helonial/synthetic lavender, coffee/chocolate/honey accord- absolutely fainter than in its predecessor-and cedary musk with a touch of smoke) but this one possesses effectively that type of "vintage shoe and boots store" effect that characterizes the soul of the juice itself, darkening the general atmosphere and creating a futuristic game of contrasts (vintage/ metallurgical). I absolutely smell the tarry/ambery/barely incensey (anyway dusty because of styrax and may be hints of incense) effect in the air over a dark leather/patchouli/coffee accord. I finally detect a sort of gummy/ambery black synthetic suede with a tinge of aromatic green elements. I feel less caramel in the final outcome, more sharp dustiness and less sweetness (or anyway an equal level in comparison with A*Men). Another chic and daring Mugler's creation for the lovers of the synthetic experimentalism.

Please note, this forum does not cover AIDS/HIV issues. Please visit our HIV Prevention Community for information and support.
I was brought here by another member to post this. (It appears I have to "join" in order to post and edit this article.)
There seems an ever so often someone worried about getting HPV other than sexual contact. This is both true and not true. There are many different kinds of HP viruses, but not all HPV's are the same. The kind of HPV that this forum community is based on is the sexually transmitted kind, not the kind that causes warts in other areas of the body such as planter warts and common warts. Those kinds of HPV can be spread by skin to skin contact, but they are not the potentially lethal HPV that is spread through sexual contact.
Reposting what is listed in wikipedia article about HPV (Human papillomavirus):
Types 6, 11 may cause genital warts.
Types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68 are "high-risk" sexually transmitted HPVs and may lead to the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN), penile intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and/or anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN).
Common warts 2, 7
Plantar warts 1, 2, 4
Flat cutaneous warts 3, 10
Anogenital warts 6, 11, 42, 43, 44, 55 and others
Genital cancers 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis more than 15 types
Focal epithelial hyperplasia (oral) 13, 32
Oral papillomas 6, 7, 11, 16, 32
Not all warts are created equal. Common and planter warts are not the same HPV as the sexually transmitted kind.

The coin offered in the present lot displays pleasing light gray toning, and surfaces that are remarkably clean for the grade. The Liberty and eagle motifs are fully outlined, and contain a modicum of internal detail. All of the other design elements are clear, except for the bottom of the 2 in the fraction, and are nicely centered on the planchet. A small squiggly scrape in the lower right reverse field near the rim identifies the coin.
The connoisseur of Bust halves does not want to miss out on this lovely lower to middle grade piece of Americana. Such an "affordable" specimen that is devoid of mentionable problems may not appear on the market again for some time.

I really don't have any clue how to diagnose this other than fiddling with vacuum hoses at this point. I suppose I could switch the 2 O2 sensors and see if that makes a difference, but ugh I think I'd have to take the whole exhaust back off...
So were you saying you thought that the exhaust should or shouldn't feel the same at the exhaust pipe?
Dirtjack - thanks for the info on the voltage - I've got the 2nd fan also so maybe my levels are reasonably normal - at least not high on the list of possible culprits...
Mine will do that also with the o2s reading, they do a dance... i dont get it either.
From memory i dont think mine felt equal from day one... different lenths of pipe, bends?

Northeastern Albania
Northeastern Albania is a region of Albania.
Other destinations[edit]
This is the inland region of Albania to the north of the Shkumbin River. It borders Montenegro, Kosovo and Macedonia.
The native language of the region is Gheg, the northern dialect of Albanian. While the two main dialects of Albanian are mutually intelligible, but due to the fact that the official standard of Albanian was shifted from Gheg to Tosk, the southern dialect, during the rule of Enver Hoxha (1941-1985), the communist dictator of Albania and a Tosk speaker himself, some locals in Northeastern Albania may have bitter feelings about Tosk dialect—so be cautious while smattering your Albanian.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
The best way to get around is by bus, or van (furgon). Buses that go from Tirana to Durres for example, cost 100 Lek, about $1 US. Inner city buses currently cost 30 Lek a trip. Some buses that leave Skanderberg Square are free, the end destination being the mall advertised on the side of the bus. Sometimes you can grab a mall bus, and get out before the mall somewhere, free ride! Furgon's cost a little more, from 200 Lek and up, if you are heading out of a major town. These are used for faster transport, and the more windy mountain roads that cannot accommodate a large bus. You can get almost anywhere by bus, with totally unmarked stations all over the Square area.

A proposal for a smoker's licensing scheme has been proposed in an article in the journal PLoS Medicine. The scheme would be designed to work with smokers to limit their access to tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars and rolling tobacco as well as encouraging people to quit and providing a financial incentive for those who do.
"A smoker's licence allows smokers the choice to continue smoking within a regulatory framework that promises new disincentives to smoke and a major financial incentive to quit."
says Professor Simon Chapman of the School of Public Health, University of Sydney in Australia. Professor Chapman is also a director of Action on Smoking and Health, Australia and editor emeritus of Tobacco Control.
According to the paper published by Professor Chapman, the prolonged use of tobacco causes the death of about half its users, with a billion people this century predicted to die from tobacco caused disease. In particular, the cigarette is an exceptionally dangerous product: no other commodity or human activity causes a remotely comparable number of annual deaths. Yet, compared with other dangerous products, the control mechanisms applied to tobacco are comparatively trivial. In most countries, only the requirement that they be purchased and used by an adult with no restriction as to the quantity an individual is able to purchase.

- Common food preservative may offer hope of cure for head and neck cancers soon
- Having your stomach stapled may cause bone loss
- If you get too fat, losing weight permanently may become impossible, says study
- New drug can reverse type II diabetes and prevent the disease progressing
Professor Chapman has proposed a system where people nominate how many cigarettes they smoke per day, with licensing fees tied to that number. Smokers would have to undergo a knowledge test regarding the health risks tied to smoking. A smartcard would be issued to the smoker, allowing them to purchase a certain number of cigarettes per fortnight, capped at 50 per day. If a smoker chose to permanently surrender their license, all fees they had paid in the past would be refunded to them.
"A smoker's licence may seem like a radical step toward ending the epidemic of disease caused by tobacco, but it is far less radical than prohibiting the sale of tobacco, which is not a strategy that has yet been supported by any international expert report or political forum," said Professor Chapman.
The licence, Chapman argues, would be most viable in high-income nations that are actively pursuing tobacco control goals. He compares his proposal to how the sale of pharmaceuticals is regulated through the use of prescriptions which he likens to 'temporary licences' for medications that could be used incorrectly, for too long, or that require users to be monitored.
Under the system proposed by Professor Chapman, all smokers would be required to obtain a smart swipecard licence which they would use to purchase tobacco from a licensed tobacco retailer.
Most licence registrations would take place online, providing a useful database on tobacco use and a means to communicate health messages to smokers.
The smart card licence would be encoded with a maximum purchase limit, chosen from a range, at the time of application. Smokers would pre-commit to a certain number of cigarettes a week and when they made their purchase the sale would be approved or declined based on that agreement. The more cigarettes a licencee opted for, the higher the fee. There would be an upper limit of 50 cigarettes per day, averaged across 14 days, and the licence would be renewed annually.
As an incentive to quit all licence fees paid during a smoker's licenced smoking history would be fully refundable, with compound interest if they surrendered their licence.
"The requirement for a licence would send a powerful, symbolic message to all smokers and potential smokers that tobacco is not an ordinary commodity like grocery items, confectionery, or any product on unrestricted sale," Professor Chapman said.
"It would mark tobacco as a product uniquely deserving of such regulation and invite smokers to reflect on why this exceptional policy had been introduced. This step may diminish self-exempting views that smoking is just another, unexceptional risk in 'life's jungle'."
An argument against the proposal was also published in the same journal by Jeff Collin of the Global Public Health Unit, School of Social & Political Science, University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Collin states that the proposed scheme would shift focus away from the real vector of the epidemic—the tobacco industry—and that by focusing on individuals it would censure victims, increase stigmatization of smokers, and marginalize the poor.
As Collin states in commencing his argument against Chapman's proposal, "Despite its many successes, the need for tobacco control advocates to think outside the box and explore radical new options remains compelling. As always it is difficult to know whether to be more impressed by the scale of recent legislative achievements in driving change, or to despair at the widespread persistence of damaging behaviours and devastating health impacts."

Local CEO dies from injuries in bicycle accident

Users report iPod classic issues after iTunes 9 updateNumerous iPod classic users have reported problems with the latest update to iTunes, released last week, with claims of crashes when attempting to sync the media player.
In addition to threads on the Apple Support forums (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) some have contacted AppleInsider to voice their concern over allegedly dysfunctional iPod classics, ranging from 80GB to 160GB in size. Some say they have seen their media player fail to sync with the latest iTunes update, and efforts to fix the problem have only made the situation worse. Both Windows and Mac users have reported the issues.
One person said their 160GB iPod classic failed once iTunes 9 was installed on Snow Leopard. The iPod reportedly ejects itself automatically. Putting the iPod into disk mode did not address the problem.
Others on various operating systems say that iTunes 9 does not recognize their iPod classic, preventing them from syncing, restoring, or essentially doing anything with the media player via a computer.
At least one user said the issue was resolved by resetting the iPod and reconnecting it to the computer via USB. However, other users claim they attempted to restore factory settings on the device, only for it to still not sync, leaving them with an iPod void of media.
iTunes 9 was released last week bringing app management, iTunes LP album downloads, and a redesigned iTunes Store. It also disabled sync capabilities with the Palm Pre.
Apple also released a new, higher capacity iPod classic this week, now offering 160GB of storage for $249. The new 160GB model has the same "thin" profile as the previous 120GB offering.

- Apple leaks new gold, deep blue and hot pink iPod colors in iTunes 12.2
- iPod's disappearance from top of Apple website signals further slide into obscurity

One strange animal
OK let me preface this by saying that I am a Dead Rising fanboy. A major one. I am well aware of all the games flaws and issues and I couldn't care less. I enjoyed the first Dead Rising like no game before it. As a huge fan of Romero films and zombie fiction of all kinds, Dead Rising was the first game I felt truly captured the feeling of an oppressive "Zombie Event". And of course the parallels to Dawn of the Dead didn't hurt it either. The original Dawn is a timeless classic that has been a high water mark for decades and it's remake holds the unique position of being just as good as the film that it's based on.
Fast Forward from 2006 to 2010 and Dead Rising 2. I was initially shocked that Frank was not planned for the sequel of Dead Rising. But with time and some gameplay I warmed up to Chuck Green. The Combo Weapon system was great and the irreverant humor from the original was well intact. For my money, it was another success. But I never did stop missing Frank despite putting upwards of 30 hours into DR2 and even more into Case Zero and Case West.
Now on to the reason for this write up, Off the Record (hereafter; 'OtR'). OtR is a curious title, even for me. Being the big fan of zombie games, of Dead Rising 1, and of Frank West, I was on board with this one from the word GO. The problem though, is who other than me would even consider this game a valid purchase? And releasing in one of the most cluttered fall release schedules since 2007? This game just doesn't seem to have an audience outside of the insane DR fans like myself, and even for us it's starting to feel like Capcom is pulling another Street FIghter 2 here with constant reiterations instead of moving on. And all in the span of 13 months.
The game itself is pretty great. The same formula that made the other Dead Rising products enjoyable is still here with some nice new additions. Serious fans will enjoy the subtle changes to make the protagonist swap fit and there have been adjustments to the looters and the zombies seem more aggressive than in the other DR games. New combo weapons and the return of the camera mechanic round out a pretty impressive list of "Pros" for this game.
The issue at hand though, is the list of "Cons". No matter how fun it may be, if you played DR2 proper, this is just not enough of an upgrade for the casual fan to embrace. The hardcore DR nut will love OtR but I wonder just how many of us there are and if we number high enough to make this game profitable?
I've been a big supporter of this series. And I've always done my best to try and steer people to playing it. Forum posts asking "What 360 games should I play?" always see me trumpetting Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2's greatness. This game though, I just don't think I can be it's emmisary. I cannot "sell" this game to people. If you're on board, you were already on board and if you're on the fence, I'm not going to be trying to push you over. It is a good game. And on paper it's probably the best Dead Rising to date. But even with all the good stuff it has to offer (not the least of which is finally adding the checkpoint system fans have been wanting since 2006!), I just can't push a game like this. While it's a 5 star for me personally, I can't even imagine that anyone else would share that view of this one.
To Bottom Line it, it's a great fun romp though a zombie outbreak with a charasmatic protagonist. It's just that the romp is basically the same one you took last year with DR2 proper. OtR can only truly be recommended to either those who never played DR2, or who are major Frank West fans who are willing to overlook the fact that they already played this game a year ago. It's definately a curious animal, but I doubt most people will feel the need to have it on their mantle.

When talking about the new High Availability features in Exchange 2010 an often recurring question is "How many mailbox databases can you home on an Exchange 2010 Standard Edition?"
The answer is listed here: Looking at the On-Premise Licensing for Exchange Server 2010, and for a Standard Edition you are limited to 5 and for an Enterprise edition you are limited to 100:
Let's see…
I've got a DAG, called DAG1, which includes two servers: E2010CHM1, and E2010MU2. I've created a few mailbox databases as you can see in the picture below:
The following databases are mounted on E2010CHM1:
And the following mailbox databases are mounted on E2010MU2:
Now let's try to add a mailbox database copy for the mailbox database BHV, so it will be available as a passive database copy on E2010CHM1.
Here's the result:
Exchange 2010 Standard Edition is limited to a maximum database limit of 5 (which is the sum of active and passive database copies, and the public folder database!)
Good article! An important side note - you must use Windows 2008 ENTERPRISE to utilize DAG.
True, and there are more sidenotes to DAG, like the fact that Public Folders can not take advantages of DAG, you still need to use Public Folder replication mechanism! But a pubic folder database can be homed on a server, who is a member of a DAG :-)
And what about Personal Archive databases in SP1? Five databases is the limit for the sum of active, passive, public folder and personal archive databases?
So, if i got it right, there is a limit of 5 databases per server. Does that mean that if you had tried to add the copy to the other server (the one with only 2 databases) would it have been successful?
5 Databases PER Server !!!
look here: technet.microsoft.com/.../bb232170.aspx
In Your Scenario you already have 5 Databases on E2010CHM1 !!!
It looks like the 'Soleil' db is already part of a DAG(?)
Also, if you had attempted to add 'Employees' to your DAG would it have worked (since server 2 has less than 5 databases)?
I have a question that is related - 2 Std edition with 5 databases each - 2 Active - 2 passive and 1 PF each (5 DB per server) what about adding a 3rd Enterprise server and creating a 3rd copy of each database on the enterprise. I am virtually sure this is fine as the Ent server is not attempting to copy anything back to either std servers.
I have a question, if I have standard edition of exchange 2010 how many user mailboxes can I create?
Hi guys:
I got a question about licensing Exchange into a specific scenario.
Here´s my story:
My company has 4 mailbox servers running on EXchange 2010 Enterprise.
We are moving to DAG configuration, from microsoft website we know that Enterprise version can support up to 100 databases (Active, passive and public folder).
Since we have 4 instances running with Exchange 2010 Enterprise, and as we know this version support up to 100 databases , does that mean that my environment could have 400 databases as maximum?

Villarreal eased their relegation fears and all almost certainly consigned Sporting Gijon to the Segunda Division with a 3-2 win at El Molinon in a match which saw both home coach Javier Clemente and substitute Villarreal goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez sent off. The visitors started brightly and were handed a deserved lead on 19 minutes when Mario Gaspar slotted home Bruno's cut-back after the midfielder's first effort had been saved by Juan Pablo. Sporting were level 20 minutes later thanks to Alberto Lora's stunning long-range strike that crept inside Diego Lopez's left hand post, but the hosts were only level for four minutes as Arnolin Gregory stupidly brought down Marco Ruben inside the area and Marcos Senna smashed home the resulting penalty. Hernan Perez made it 3-1 with a similar strike to Lora's 10 minutes into the second half and despite a late rally from Sporting after Alejandro Galvez had halved the deficit with five minutes remaining, they could not salvage the point they ...

CORVALLIS — The coach orders the Oregon State players over to the goal lines on an adjoining practice field, and then the warfare begins in earnest:
A no-holds-barred water-balloon fight.
"Oh, the defense won that, for sure," safety Anthony Watkins says good-naturedly.
"We all thought we were in trouble," Watkins adds. "We thought we had to run gassers or something."
A welcome practice respite over the weekend shouldn't be mistaken for the 2012 mission at Oregon State, which is dead serious. A word you hear often around here is "urgency."
In these parts, nobody much refers to last year. OSU went 3-9, on the heels of a 5-7 season in 2010, and it's not unreasonable to ask: Are those the kinds of years more befitting this program, or are they the 2008-09 seasons, when OSU was a win over Oregon from getting to the Rose Bowl?
"Each team can set its own identity," insists OSU coach Mike Riley. "It doesn't have to be like it was."
The 2011 Beavers were too much like the bad old days of the 1970s, '80s and '90s. They were worst in the Pac-12 in both rushing offense and run defense—a booming 110-yards-per-game deficit—and that gap must close significantly.
"We weren't a very good running team last year and it really affected us in a lot of areas," says offensive coordinator Danny Langsdorf. "It hurt our (pass) protection and it hurt our play-action passing game."
Backs Malcolm Agnew (5 feet 8, 204 pounds) and Storm Woods (5-10, 202) lead the quest to restore OSU's tradition of good runners, but it's the offensive line that draws the most attention as the unit that must make major strides in 2012.
"Put the pressure on us," challenged Grant Enger, a starting guard. "I like it. I'm excited about the run game this year. I'm pumped for it."
Newly arrived to add hope to that line is precocious true freshman center Isaac Seumalo, a local product whose dad Joe is OSU's defensive-line coach. Seumalo, a blue-chip recruit, has been hanging around the program for years, so he had something of a head start. And speaking of starting, he will.
"He's really a sharp kid," says Langsdorf. "He's a true freshman, and he's handling a lot of directions in protection, handling calls in the run game like a seasoned veteran and he's been here two weeks. We feel great about him and where he's at."
Says Enger: "He's kind of a freak athlete and he's really smart."
Riley wants 1,800 yards from the running game. Last year, it delivered only 1,043. A repeat would put untenable pressure on sophomore quarterback Sean Mannion and a good corps of receivers led by Markus Wheaton (73 catches, 986 yards).
Mannion, who became a surprise starter early last season, threw 18 interceptions, a figure that should drop appreciably. Among other sordid numbers, OSU's pass-efficiency rating of 124.0 was No. 11 in the Pac-12, ahead of only Colorado.
"I like the way both quarterbacks (including backup Cody Vaz) have been playing," says Langsdorf.
On defense, the Beavers have a solid secondary keyed by cornerback Jordan Poyer, some questions at linebacker and three of the down front four back. That includes sophomore ends Dylan Wynn and Scott Crichton, who combined for 20 tackles for loss last year and have bulked up.
"Both have improved their numbers dramatically," Riley said, referring to strength and speed tests.
The weakness that must be upgraded: OSU's rushing defense, which allowed 196.8 yards per game last year.
The Beavers have a landmark visit from Wisconsin on Sept. 8, which might ordinarily be cause to look past FCS opener Nicholls State. Except last year, OSU was stunned out of the gate by Sacramento State.
"To be honest, I'm not thinking about last year," says Enger. "I'm thinking about this year."
It's what happens when you win three games, in a season the Beavers figure was a rank impostor.

YIELD: Serves 8
In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the asparagus for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is tender but not limp, and drain it well in a colander. In a small saucepan melt the butter, stir in the scallion, the zest, the peppercorns, and salt to taste, and simmer the mixture for 3 minutes. Strain the butter mixture through a fine sieve into the kettle, add the asparagus and salt and pepper to taste, and heat the asparagus over moderately high heat, tossing it gently, until it is heated through.

Before a sparse crowd gathered at the Alhambra Ballroom in Harlem, Kerry said, "The president (Monday night) will lay out his vision … I believe the president will run away from his own record because he doesn't have a record to run on."
Kerry, who rarely ever mentions his lone remaining major Democratic nomination foe, added, "It's interesting. We have George Bush on the run because he's going to get out there tonight and start his campaign even before we have a Democratic nominee."
The event concluded with Coldplay's "Clocks," but regardless of frontman Chris Martin's endorsement of Kerry, the Grammy-winning song was quickly skipped for Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke."
The Senator's second stop took him to Queens, where the record repeated. In a press avail, Kerry again charged, "I think George Bush is on the run and I think George Bush is on the run because he doesn't have a record to run on."
He also said, "(Republicans) have even named their multi-million dollar television advertising (campaign) 'Operation Carpet Bombing,'" although no evidence exists to support this claim and the Republican National Committee denies it.
Kerry was also asked by a television news producer whether or not he felt it is appropriate that Senator Edwards' stump speech focuses on economic and domestic issues, making little mention of national security.
He deflected the opportunity to criticize Edwards on a subject on which he often critiques the president, offering only that he "wouldn't comment on any other candidates' strategies."
The Kerry campaign does intend, however, to counter Edwards in the three markets where the North Carolina Senator has begun to air television ads.
Starting Tuesday, Kerry will go up with the ever-popular "Del" or "A Good American," an ad featuring one of Kerry's swift boat mates describing the Senator's service in Vietnam. "Del" will run through Super Tuesday in Ohio, Georgia, and upstate New York including Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse but not Albany.
Two new ads — one on the economy and one Georgia-specific featuring former Senator Max Cleland and Rep. John Lewis — are also in production.
Kerry Communications Director Stephanie Cutter would not disclose the specific amount of the buy, labeling it "pretty significant."
Cutter insisted other states could be added to the buy and deflected the notion that the move is intended to counter Edwards.
"It made sense to go up in those states," Cutter said, later adding the Kerry campaign "always knew" they would advertise in Ohio.
"It's a significant state," Cutter remarked. "It embodies everything that's wrong with this country."
Kerry attended three closed fundraisers in New York City Monday evening. He begins a two-day trip to Ohio Tuesday, with stops in Youngstown, Cleveland, and Toledo.
Disengage Autopilot
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 22 — Prior to Sunday, the Kerry campaign's post-Wisconsin week was Notable more for what did not happen than for what did.
Senator Kerry did not expand his pre-Super Tuesday travel schedule, campaigning only in Ohio and Georgia between two down days in his home state of Massachusetts. In that same time, Senator Edwards busily made his way to five of the 10 contested March 2 states.
The Kerry campaign did not go up with ads — even symbolically — anywhere, despite moves by the Edwards camp to go on the air in both Georgia and Ohio.

In December 2011, Ohio was awarded the Race to the Top Early Learning Challenge Grant. As part of the grant application, Ohio made a commitment to revise and expand the current tiered quality rating and improvement system which is called Step Up To Quality (SUTQ), and to broaden participation to all early childhood settings (including school districts, child care, family child care, etc.)
Innovative Grants have been awarded to school districts and community schools across Ohio from the Ohio Department of Education. This funding will be utilized in a variety of ways to significantly change the culture of many of these schools to the benefit of student success.
"I still love to teach," says Tim Dove, the 2011 Ohio Teacher of the Year and a 29-year classroom veteran.
