* Covered up Thorne's shooting of Ridge.
Past: Executive at Forrester Originals
Past: 10% Owner of Forrester Creations
Past: Senior Executive at Forrester Creations
When we were first introduced to Stephanie, she was the proud matriarch of the Forrester family and one of the leading powers in fashion. She had been married to Eric for 25 years, but his past was about to intrude on them. By coincidence, he met his former lover Beth while she was working as a caterer at an event Stephanie organized. She had left him when she discovered that Stephanie was pregnant with Ridge. He soon asked for a divorce so that he could reunite with his lost love. Although Stephanie agreed, she hired Conway Weston to track down Beth's husband Stephen Logan and reunite him with his estranged wife. She then had them sent to Paris with a new job.
After saving her marriage, she kept her eye on Eric's assistant, Margo Lynley as she played on his drifting libido and meddled in the love life of her daughter Kristen, setting her up with gigolo Clarke Garrison. Things weren't all well in her own relationship however. Eric began to suspect her of cheating when she was really slipping off to spend time with her daughter Angela, who had supposedly died at birth. This came out and Eric accepted it, but it later became evident that Angela was actually an impostor.
While her marriage to Eric continued to strain, he moved on with Brooke. Although Stephanie resisted, when Brooke became pregnant, she granted him a divorce. At that point, she turned her focus to the company and went after Sally Spectra for stealing Forrester designs. Soon after, under pressure, she suffered a minor stroke and was stricken with amnesia. After a car breakdown, she wandered the streets and lived as a homeless woman. Even after she'd regained her memory, she persisted in this life while planning a way to get Eric back.
In a bid to get Eric from Brooke, she hired an expert forger to write a note in Eric's hand professing his love for her. This plan didn't work. Eric would leave Brooke however, and move on with Sheila Carter. This proved to be even more infuriating for Stephanie and she set about destroying the marriage. Digging into Sheila's nasty past, she couldn't stop Sheila before she almost killed Eric and most of the family. Although Sheila was briefly institutionalized, she returned to go after Stephanie, changing her calcium pills for mercury tablets and causing her to have a breakdown. Stephanie was briefly institutionalized, but, once she got out, began to pursue Sheila's new husband. This raised the psychotic woman's anger once again and, after continual threats and harassment, Stephanie had her arrested. Sheila quickly escaped and fled town, but not before leaving a bullet in Stephanie.
These difficult years made Stephanie's sanity precarious at best. She was almost pushed over the edge when Brooke became engaged to Thorne, an event which brought back all of the pain which she had blamed Brooke for. As a result, Stephanie tried to stab Brooke, only to be stopped by Thorne himself. Within weeks though, the mere sight of Brooke and Throne was enough to give her a stroke. While hospitalized, Eric proposed to her and the family hid Brooke's ongoing presence. As she remarried Eric, she began to recover, only to have Sally pull the rug out by letting her know that her son and Brooke were still a couple. After another stroke, she manged to start putting things behind her, walking Brooke down the aisle and entering therapy with her. While their detentes wouldn't last, it was a momentary break from the years of manipulation which Stephanie had pushed on her children and family.
She'd tried to trap Ridge into a relationship with Taylor, arranged for Morgan to have Ridge's child aborted, a choice which would come back to haunt her when, years later Morgan returned and the two almost drowned one another fighting over Ridge.
Soon, another rupture would appear when her former college lover, Massimo Marone began to make waves in her life again. He was Ridge's biological father, a fact which Stephanie had never realized until an accident left Ridge needing a blood transfusion which only Massimo could give. After begging Massimo to keep the secret, he asked her to move in. They never became close again though, because Taylor's abrupt 'death' pushed her back into the fore of her family and into Eric's arms. It also meant that she had to renew her battle against Brooke now that Ridge was free. Pretending to be her friend, Stephanie pushed her to Nick Marone, but the friendship ended when Brooke became pregnant by Ridge again.
Things escalated when Taylor returned from the dead and Stephanie faked a heart attack to bring them together. When the truth of this deception came out, Eric promptly went after a divorce.
Alone and depressed, Stephanie was shocked to discover documents that indicated she rightfully had total control of Forrester Creations. These documents had been hidden from her by Eric and Kay Chancellor for years. Immediately, with Massimo's help, she threw Brooke and Eric out, installing Thorne as president of the company. Later, she would let Eric and Brooke return, to the basement, and welcome her daughter Felicia back as she was dying of cancer. Since it was her final wish to see her parents wed, Eric and Stephanie agreed, thinking they would annul it as soon as she died. That did not happen however and their relationship grew stronger when they were forced to hand Forrester Creations over to Nick after she almost killed his mother.
Desperate to understand her often vicious behavior, Stephanie went into counseling with Taylor. Their sessions revealed that she had been beaten by her father as a child. Looking for answers, Stephanie traveled to Chicago to confront her mother, Ann. Her mother denied everything, although her sister Pamela tried to convince her that it was true. Stephanie left in disgust, but Ann and Pamela soon came back to her, at Christmas, in a bid to reconcile. Although reluctant, Stephanie did accept her mother's apology and, with Eric's entreaties began to forgive her.
In another show of goodwill, Stephanie gave half of the company to Brooke after Ridge suffered a heart attack. To her horror, Brooke then married Nick and Taylor sold her two percent of the company to Brooke. When Nick took over after his mother's accident though, she left him and her shares to return to Ridge and prove her familial loyalty. In a bid for revenge, Stephanie began digging in Jackie's life and discovered that she used to be a prostitute. After hunting down one of her johns, she had the man publicly appear to bring her disgrace. This failed and, with some maneuvering, Nick maintained control. Eric was angered by his wife's antics and she went to spend time with her mother and sister while they began Forrester Originals. When she returned, she was surprised to find Eric offering to bring her mother and sister onto the Forrester grounds. Even more shocking, she soon noticed that the newest competitor for Eric's attentions might be her own sister.
After an argument, Pam and Ann returned to Chicago and Stephanie turned her attention back to Brooke. Believing she was an unfit mother, Stephanie tried to take the kids away from her. She succeeded when the court awarded temporary custody to Ridge. In an attempt to get Ridge permanent custody of RJ and Hope, Stephanie hired a lawyer named Andy to pursue Brooke. Taking things too far, Andy raped Brooke when she rebuffed his advances. Although Stephanie was unaware of what happed, Ridge found out and went after Andy. Andy was accidentally killed and Ridge dropped the custody suit. When Stephanie found out, she gave Brooke a heartfelt apology, which was not well received and then left town. After learning of Stephanie's part in Brooke's rape, Eric agreed to Nick's terms of buying Forrester Creations back, which meant he had to divorce Stephanie.
Stephanie returned to LA and discovered that Eric was divorcing her and that she no longer had a place at Forrester. Eric began seeing Donna and Stephanie enlisted Thorne and Felicia to help her sabotage their relationship. Stephanie was then shot by Storm, but he made it look like his father Stephen had done it. She of course survived and Pam came to be with her sister when she learned what happened. When Stephanie found out Storm was the shooter, Brooke pleaded with her not to press charges. Stephanie agreed, but only if Donna broke up with Eric. Donna agreed, but secretly kept her affair with Eric going. Stephanie eventually discovered the cover up, but agreed to a divorce if Eric would spend their anniversary with her and their family.
Pam stepped in and tried to make Donna regret the day she took up with Eric. Knowing Pam was playing tricks on Donna out of her loyalty to Stephanie, the elder Douglas told her sister to stop because she and Eric were finished. Stephanie also gave up her half of the house so Eric and Donna could live there together and she signed divorce papers.
Stephanie went to live in the beach house in Malibu and fell into a brief depression. She snapped out of it however when Eric went into a coma. Stephanie rushed to his bedside, but still respected his and Donna's marriage. It was learned that Pam was behind Eric's coma and Stephanie tried to help the police track her sister down, but Pam escaped.
Eric opened his eyes in Stephanie's presence and when she went to tell Donna, she saw Eric's wife and Owen in bed together. Furious, Stephanie whisked Eric to the house and had Ridge send Donna out of town on Forrester business so Donna wouldn't find out. Stephanie played nursemaid to Eric and professed her undying love to him when he woke up.
Once Eric was up and around, he saw Donna and Owen in a lip lock and wanted nothing more to do with her. Stephanie was only too happy to support him through this rough time. Donna pleaded her case to Eric, but it fell on deaf ears for a while. When Eric was ready to reconcile with Donna, she refused him because Pam threatened to hurt the people Donna loved if she didn't stay away from Eric so Stephanie could have him. Stephanie eventually found out what Pam was doing and enlisted Eric's help in luring her sister out in the open. It was then revealed that Pam had a brain tumor, which was probably the reason for her bizarre behavior. Stephanie and Eric convinced Donna not to press charges and Pam went back to Chicago for treatment.
Once that situation was settled, both Stephanie and Donna wanted to be with Eric, but he wasn't ready to make a decision. He suggested the three of them all live together in the mansion until he was ready. Surprisingly, both women agreed.
In the meantime, Stephanie tried to get her son Ridge and his ex-wife Taylor back together even though he was in love with Brooke. She also kept Rick's secret that he was manipulating Brooke so it would cause problems in her and Ridge's relationship.

At Eric's, Hope calls the guests together to give thanks to the day's celebration while Liam and Wyatt both think they should celebrate Hope for being so incredible. They gush a bit until Bill breaks it up. Hope puts the focus back on Rick and Caroline, who surprise the guests by announcing their impromptu wedding. Eric offers to play the piano while Dayzee, Hope and Maya lead Caroline off to get ready. Charlie and Pam get to work on the wedding cake in the kitchen. She licks the batter off his finger and then they kiss. Bill finds Brooke outside and tells her he isn't giving up. She tells him it's over, but he is sure they will get back to where they were.
Back inside the Forrester Mansion, Quinn addresses Stephanie's portrait and assumes they would not have liked each other. Eric joins Quinn and she comments how lovely the picture is. He agrees. Meanwhile, Maya runs into Rick by the stairs and tells him how happy she is for him. Later, Eric and Brooke gush over how handsome Rick is as Pam calls attention to Caroline's entrance. The wedding march begins and she enters with Bill. Brooke hands Caroline a bouquet made from Stephanie's rose garden and Bill walks her down the aisle. Rick tells her she looks beautiful. Carter begins the ceremony and after commenting on their ups and downs leads Rick and Caroline in their vows. Rick remembers the first time he saw her. Rick almost gave up on them but she didn't because she knew how good they were together. Every moment with her is a gift and Rick promises to protect and cherish it forever. There isn't a dry eye in the house as Caroline thanks everyone – the Forresters and Logans are her family now. She adores Rick and knows they will have an exciting marriage. They exchange rings and promise to love each other forever. Carter pronounces them husband and wife and they kiss.
At the hospital, Katie tells Steffy there are changes in medicine all the time. Steffy sobs that she can't have a baby of her own. She gets a call from Liam and tells him she'll be out late. "I love you." Steffy tells Katie she can't go home. "I can't face Liam." She asks Katie to drive her to her condo.

Storm damage reported in Rushville
Thousands without power during record heat
RUSHVILLE, Ind. - Thousands lost power in Rush County after storms rolled through early Tuesday evening.
At one point, Duke Energy reported more than 2,000 customers in Rush County without power around 5 p.m., and an additional 1,200 Shelby County customers were in the dark.
Officials reported several trees were ripped from their roots, which took fire hydrants out, knocked down power lines and destroyed parts of homes.
Rushville Mayor Mike Pavey estimated there were about three or four houses that had trees down. There were other trees down in the park system, but they did not hit anything where they fell, he said.

Neighbors said the sound of one tree falling into the street lured them outside in time to see another one tear through the corner of a house.
"So far we know most of the damage was centrally located throughout Rushville. We have about 2,000 customers without power. We have at least three homes that have been heavily damaged, if not destroyed," Chuck Kemker with Emergency Management said.
Pavey said he felt fortunate that no injuries were reported as a result of the storms.
Officials said they were restoring power to customers in waves. Officials said all customers should have power back by 12:30 a.m.

By Erin Hodgson, Department of Entomology
There have been reports of aphids feeding on lower corn leaves this week. In July, I wrote an ICM article about corn leaf aphid thresholds prior to tasseling; however, there is still some concern about economic loss in August. People have noticed aphids moving down the plant and forming colonies on the stalk. Many are wondering if they are corn leaf aphids or something else?
There are at least two different species that can be found in corn this time of year, but the identification may not be critical to management.
General Description. In general, aphids are soft-bodied and pear-shaped insects with walking legs. Usually they are wingless, but migratory, winged forms can be generated throughout the summer. The main diagnostic feature of aphids is a pair of cornicles that resemble tailpipes, towards the end of the abdomen. All aphids have a piercing-sucking stylet and feed on plant phloem.
Damage. Aphids excrete a sugar-rich honeydew that can promote a sooty mold which can reduce photosynthesis. Some aphids are capable of vectoring plant diseases. Those species that vector disease are considered more economically important because low aphid densities can reduce quality and yield. Heavily infested plants will be discolored and stunted, and have curled and mottled leaves.
Corn leaf aphid. This species prefers sorghum, but will also feed on corn, barley, millet and many different grasses. These aphids are more rectangular, or box-shaped, compared to other aphids. They are dark olive-green or blue-green in color, and sometimes cover themselves in a protective wax. The antennae are dark and short, and the cornicles are short, dark and surrounded by a dark patch. Adults range from 0.9-2.44 mm in length. Corn leaf aphids cannot overwinter in Iowa, but migrate on jet streams here every year.
Corn leaf aphids have pear-shaped bodies that are more typical of aphids.
Bird cherry-oat aphid. This species prefers wheat, barley, oats, rye, and triticale, and is less commonly found forming colonies in corn. Their body shape is pear-shaped and is more typical of aphids. They can be variable in color, ranging from yellow-green, olive-green or black. Often they have a rusty colored patch around the cornicles. The antennae and cornicles are dark and average length. Adults range from 1.2-2.4 mm in length. Bird cherry-oat aphids have the potential to overwinter on chokecherry in Iowa.
Bird cherry-oat aphids are yellow-green or dark green in color and have round bodies.
Management. Scouting for either aphid species should start before tasseling - probably too late for that this year. Corn leaf aphids generally start colonies deep within the whorl. Stop at five locations and examine twenty plants. Examine the ear, leaves and stalk. Use a hand lens and look for an orange patch between the cornicles to distinguish the species. Take note of beneficial insects (e.g., ladybeetles and lacewings) and/or parasitized mummies; consider not treating aphids if more than 20 percent are parasitized.
Spraying corn for aphids deep in the whorl is not effective. Treating for aphids after tasseling is usually not a cost-effective management decision because aphid populations will decline naturally. A well-timed spray while aphids are outside the whorl or on the tassel is recommended when they exceed thresholds. Corn plants can be particularly sensitive to aphid feeding if they are drought-stressed. If 50 percent of the plants have more than 100 aphids per plant, tassels are coated in honeydew and plants are under drought stress, treatment may be justified. There are several products registered in Iowa for corn leaf aphid (Table 1). Follow label directions and pay attention to spray guidelines.

Right now, no TV show has more hip-hop cred than HBO's "The Wire". And rightfully so. The ultra-gritty series is a terrifyingly realistic portrayal of the drug trade in Baltimore — a.k.a., "Bodymore, Murderland" — and does a phenomenal job of humanizing the pushers and cops who do battle on a daily basis. It's pretty much Scarface set in the streets of modern-day "Bawlmer", meaning it'll suck you in quicker than a line lost to Tony Montana's right nostril.
Looking to pinch off the show's stash, G-Unit's Tony Yayo has one of the show's more memorable characters — the nail-gun-toting hit-gal "Snoop" (Felicia Pearson) — guesting on the song and video (watch it here) for "It's a Stickup". My take? Tip of the cap (fitted New Era O's lid, if you don' mind, hon') to Yayo and Pearson for rising from the hardscrabble streets of Queens and Baltimore, respectively, to make it in rap and acting. But the song itself falls flat. Pearson actually doesn't sound half-bad, but she doesn't get enough time behind the mic, and Yayo can't maintain the swagger he shows while ticking off his wish list of dead prezzies in the chorus. For diehard "Wire" fans only. Which means, naturally, this vid'll get plenty of run.

Lombardi Files Grievance
Posted on 30 Jul 2011 by Eric Cooney.
After weeks (months?) of Lombardi trying to work something out without making this an official league issue, Lombardi has gone to his last resort, filing a grievance with the NHL. Lombardi's beef is with Steve Tambellini of the Edmonton Oilers over the Ryan Smyth trade. First, Tambellini tried to trade Gilbert Brule to the Kings despite the fact that doctors deemed Brule unfit to play. Tha...

It's fairly evident that the Kings made improvements through their off-season moves this summer. I will go further and qualify this with "on paper", so as to not rile up anyone adamant that the Kings will still be worse than their favorite team next season. That said, the off-season additions have excited Kings fans and have us asking, "Is it October?" (more…)

30 NHL Prospects Ready for Prime Time
Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
Cap space has become one of the best assets a team can have in the NHL's Salary Cap Era. One of the easiest ways for a GM to give himself cap flexibility is to use roster spots on rookies that carry entry level deals, and that's precisely what teams are doing. NHL rosters were loaded with rookies during the 2010-11 season, and the trend is expected to continue in 2011-12. As fans start to p...

A burgeoning underground economy is costing California about $7 billion annually in lost tax revenue and undercutting companies that play by the rules.
That has state officials vowing to crack down on employers who pay their workers cash under the table to avoid payroll taxes, workers' compensation insurance and other government mandates.
Agencies including the Employment Development Department and the Contractors State Licensing Board increasingly are coordinating efforts to target suspected scofflaws.

Victim's family hopes to see changes made
For Wayne Keown, once known to fans of professional wrestling as Dutch Mantel, the death of a beloved granddaughter has led to a real-life battle that's called on his skill at getting a point across in an interview and other skills he didn't know he had.
Amelia Keown, his 16-year-old granddaughter, died Aug. 14 in a wreck on Highway 411 in Blount County. "She was at school and she was going to come home and get her pom poms," he said. "She thought her dance teacher would be mad at her."
She told her mother, Amanda, as she was leaving school. Her mom sent a text saying to be careful.
Just a few minutes after that, another driver crossed 411 and struck her car head-on. Amelia was killed, and the second driver, 44-year-old John C. Perkins, died the next day.
At first, Amelia's family believed it was just a tragic accident. But they quickly learned that Perkins had been released early from prison despite a lengthy criminal record. Blood tests reportedly showed he had a near toxic level of oxycodone in his system at the time of the wreck, and meth as well.
Wayne Keown and Amelia's mother were outraged. They believe a flaw system allowed Perkins to be out of prison and driving — instead of behind bars and off the roads.
"Our problem with this is, this guy was a lifetime criminal," Wayne Keown said. "I told my daughter there's something wrong with this situation."
Perkins was serving a 12-year sentence. He was let out after serving four years. Even after his release, he was still committing crimes. He had been caught for shoplifting, and placed on probation, Keown said.
"You have a guy not only on parole but on probation at the same time. I don't know how that works. He didn't fear jail."
They've found records showing what they believe are additional errors made by probation and parole officials in his case.
Since learning about Perkins's background, Wayne has been raising funds all around Tennessee by getting his fellow grapplers to put on events. He's been speaking out to anyone who will listen about the flaws they believe cost Amelia her life. He hopes to see the laws strengthened, and they're calling the changes Amelia's Law. Local legislators, including Doug Overbey, are working to move the changes along.
Amelia's family hopes to see the laws tightened for repeat offenders, and especially people who drive while intoxicated.
Wayne Keown acknowledges prisons are already overcrowded, but he thinks the state needs to reconsider how it sentences criminals so that violent or dangerous criminals stay in prison longer — and so that they complete the sentences imposed by judges.
"We've got to take the road away from them. You need to put them in where they can't get out."

Undergraduate Arrest Stirs Activist's Ardor
TEN YEARS AFTER her arrest while teaching nonviolent tactics to student protesters in Kosovo, social activist Teresa Crawford '98 has continued to carry that same commitment to more than 30 nations, leading efforts to improve nongovernmental organizations' use of communications technology.
Crawford, a politics major with an emphasis in peace and justice studies, was instrumental in founding USF's Model United Nations and Students for Peace and Justice, now the USF Peace and Justice Coalition. Known for her results-oriented commitment to social justice, it surprised no one when she landed a pre-graduation internship with San Francisco–based Peaceworkers and headed to Kosovo to help support the growing student movement there. Two weeks into the trip, Crawford and four other American students and their chaperone—all men—were arrested for failing to register with the Serbian authorities and sentenced to 10 days in jail before being pardoned and deported to neighboring Macedonia three days later.
Crawford's isolation as the only American woman in the jail was psychologically jarring, but "conscious ness raising."
"There is nothing like being arrested in a foreign country for supporting nonviolence to give you a bird's eye view of what it is like every day for activists around the world," she said. "It gave me a much better appreciation for what they go through, the role outsiders can play, both in supporting activists in their own communities and in drawing attention to their issues, and reminding me that all politics is local."
Crawford returned to USF to graduate and was back in Kosovo little more than a year later, working for The Advocacy Project (AP), a nongovernmental organization (NGO) she co-founded. The AP, where she now serves as a board member, assists community-based human rights organizations to use information and information technology to become more effective advocates for social change.
A decade ago, it was all about e-mail. Now, it's about Skype videoconferences, instant messaging, Real Simple Syndicate feeds, podcasts, cellular phone text message databases, and YouTube videos. Tapping into the latest technology improves an NGO's efficiency and effectiveness by allowing it to reach donors, policymakers, and supporters on the most convenient terms, Crawford said.
After leaving the AP in 2003, Crawford enjoyed a stint as a consultant before becoming director of the Advocacy and Leadership Center for the Institute for Sustainable Communities, a Vermont-based NGO that works around the world to organize communities on a variety of issues.
Most recently, she has spent time in Georgia, the former Soviet satellite, working with a network of community based women's organizations to provide support and community leadership to women and communities affected by the ongoing conflicts in the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

Improvement in flooring-boards
Resumen disponible en
Reclamaciones disponible en
Descripción (El texto procesado por OCR puede contener errores)
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,672, dated October 11, 1875 application filed March 29, 1875.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL A. REED, of Washington in the county of Washington and District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flooring-Boards; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to produce a flooring-board which will not warp or curve upward from the sleepers or joists upon which it is laid and it consists in cutting one or more longitudinal kerfs or slits in the under side of such a board, and through about onehalf or two-thirds of the thickness of the board.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is an end view of a section of flooring, the boards composing which are provided with kerfs or slits according to my invention. Fig. 2 is an isometric perspective View of myimproved flooring-board bottom upward.
A A are flooring-boards, laid upon a sleeper or joist, B, and having kerfs or slits a a cut in their under sides from end to end, and extending through about one-half the thickness of each board.
In two, three, and even four inch boards I usually cut one kerf of a depth proportionate to the thickness of the board, as will be hereafter explained; but when the width of the board exceeds four inches I cut two or more kerfs equally distant from each other and the edges of the board, as shown at 00 a in the board A Fig. 1.
In referring to the depth of the kerf heretofore I have contemplated the ordinary flooring-board about nine-tenths of an inch thick; but should the thickness of the board exceed this I out the kerf to within about half an inch of the top of the board, as I find that to be generally the most efficacious depth.
The unsightly appearance and destructive effect upon carpets and other floor-coverings of a floor in which the boards are warped are well known. I have found by experiment that to prevent this warping and secure a smooth floor it is only necessary to cut in the under side of each flooring-board one or more kerfs or slits, as heretofore explained.
Having now described my invention,1 claim as a new article of manufacture- A fiooring board having one or more longitudinal kerfs or slits cut in the uuderside there n testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own invention I affix hereto my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Solar power has become a major part of the modern world. With conventional resources running dry, solar power is becoming the obvious alternative. The benefits of a residential solar panel system far outweigh the initial costs of the installation process. Once installed, a residential solar panel system will immediately begin to save you money by reducing your electric bill. Solar power technologies were criticized for their inefficiency when they first began to appear. However, modern solar technologies are far more advanced than they were in the past. Also, conventional resources are in more danger of depletion than they were in the past. Our over consumption of fuel is a serious problem that we need to fix as quickly as possible. If we fail to do so, then future generations will have difficulty functioning in any successful way.
Cut Your Electric Bill Down To Size
Residential solar panels will save you money. That is a fact. Installation costs may seem high, but it only takes a few years for the solar energy system to pay for itself. The solar panels will continue to generate free energy as long as you own the home. Every homeowner knows that the electric bill is a major expense. Solar panels can reduce this cost to nearly nothing. Imagine living in a home for thirty or forty years without having to pay for electricity. This is how beneficial solar panels can be. The sooner you decide to have a residential solar panel system installed, the more money you will save. Buffalo Solar Panels is devoted to changing the life of every New Yorker. That is why we provide the best services available for solar panel installations. Call us today and live green tomorrow.
Saving The Environment While You Save Money
Buffalo Solar Panels is proud to be a part of the clean energy movement. The city of Buffalo is a great example of how a community can change the world. Buffalo's solar grid system is a wonderful way for residents to work together to make a difference in the world. This grid system allows unused energy to be redistributed to other homes in the area. This is an extremely efficient use of solar power. Buffalo Solar Panels is here to help residents obtain solar energy on a personal basis. Residential solar panels are as impressive as the community solar grid system. In fact, there are personal grids that allow homeowners to conserve unused energy to be used on days with little direct sunlight. Backup battery units allow the solar panel system to continue to function even in the event of a major blackout. Buffalo Solar Panels wants every resident to know how drastically their lives can change when using residential solar panels. The people of Buffalo are our own friends and neighbors. We care about our community and the world at large.
Let Buffalo Solar Panels Change Your Life

1. The Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to systems and methods for backing up or recovering the data of a computer system. More particularly, embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for backing up or recovering data that includes applications with dependencies on other applications.
2. Background and Relevant Art
Because of our dependence on computer networks and on computers themselves, a premium is placed on the availability and reliability of data. For many corporate enterprises, essentially all corporate data is stored on a computer network and access to the data is expected at any time. The demand for uninterrupted access to data corresponds to a need for software and hardware that can meet the demand to provide data and services. At the same time, the demand for access to data and the quantity of data has made it increasingly difficult to protect the data from events such as system failures, viruses, power outages, etc.
In view of these potential problems, it is imperative that the data be protected. This is typically accomplished through the use of software that backs up the data and that recovers the data from the backup copy when necessary. As the amount of data continues to increase, backing up and recovering the data becomes more complex. Large amounts of data cannot be quickly transferred from one volume to a backup volume and taking a volume of data offline for backup purposes is an unattractive option.
It is often necessary to also back up other types of data such as applications and services. However, applications and services often have open files when a backup is initiated. Open files generally cannot be effectively backed up using conventional systems, and are often skipped during backup operations. As a result, additional applications are often needed to help manage backups of open files and to administrate backup logs for files that were skipped during backup.
Certain applications including operating systems present another challenge to software and systems that back up data. The complexity of these applications often requires that they be backed up as a logical unit to preserve the state of the application or client. A partial backup of, for example, an operating system may result in inconsistencies or system failure if the operating system is restored from a partial or incomplete backup. In other words, backing up the file system itself does not effectively back up the state of the system and may result in errors when recovered. Operating systems and other applications are often used with databases or other volumes of data that need to be backed up in order to preserve the state of the system. In addition, operating systems as well as applications and services are often distributed across computer systems, a fact that complicates an effective backup and recovery of the data.
Applications and services present another problem as well during backup or recover operations. For example, an application may rely on data that is not part of the application itself or that is part of another application. Many systems, for example, include databases that are used by various applications but are not part of the applications themselves. Backing up the application without backing up the corresponding database may not result in a reliable backup because the application is dependent on the database. In other words, failure to backup the database on which the application relies during backup of the application itself is often unacceptable because of the dependency of the application on the database.
In order to describe the manner in which the advantages and features of the invention can be obtained, a description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of its scope, the invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for selectively backing up and/or recovering data. Embodiments of the invention enable applications to be backed up or recovered in a manner that preserves their state even when the applications rely on data that is not directly associated with the application being backed up or recovered.
In a typically situation, a server computer is configured to perform or initiate scheduled backup operations of various clients (recover operations typically occur only when necessary). The data of a client being backed up is typically organized into backup groupings. Each backup grouping corresponds to data that is to be backed up. Each backup grouping may include one or more writers, which are a module or code that ensures that the corresponding data or application is ready for the backup operation. Each backup grouping may include more than one writer and each writer may have more than one writer component. In addition, there are certain writers that may have a dependency on a writer component in another backup grouping or even within the same backup grouping. Embodiments of the invention enable the individual selection of writers or of writer components as well as providing systems and methods for backing up data associated with writer dependencies.
Embodiments of the invention allow a user to backup and recover individual writers and writer components. In some instances, the selectability of writers may be determined by a type of a writer. For example, the type of writers in a particular backup grouping may require that all writers in the backup grouping or in a set of backup groupings be backed up together to preserve a consistent state. Certain backup groupings that correspond to critical portions of the operating system, for example, should be backed up together.
1. Overview of Exemplary Systems for Backing Up Data
Each client 104, 106, and 108 represents a system with data to be backed up. Each client can be relatively simple (e.g., a desktop computer) or relatively complex (e.g., a large database server or a cluster of servers). The client may further be a network or a storage area network (SAN). Each client 104, 106, and 108 may also operate under a different operating system or platform than the server 102. In the context of a backup operation, the server 102 typically initiates the backup operation. The server 102 initiates the scheduled backup operations for the client.
A user may establish a schedule that defines the times at which the server 102 automatically performs a backup operation on the data of clients 104, 106, and/or 108. The server 102 can also be a client and can be backed up as well. However, users on the clients can also initiate ad hoc backup operations and recover operations. In the example of
The server 102 typically controls and directs all server initiated backup operations or processes. The client controls ad hoc backup and recover operations. Data is backed up, in one embodiment, using backup groupings. Each backup grouping is a collection of data or items that are backed up during a backup session between the server 102 and a particular client or clients. A backup grouping can therefore include a group of files, an entire file system, application-generated data such as a database or operating system information, and the like. A backup grouping may also include applications or services or components of applications, services, and/or operating systems. As described below, a backup grouping may include one or more writers, each corresponding to at least one application or service. The data associated with writers in a backup grouping may further be located in different directories, different volumes, and the like.
In certain types of applications, such as operating systems, it is strongly recommended that the critical components of the operating system be backed up and recovered as a consistent unit. In other words, an operating system may include files or databases that define the state of the client or system at any given time. Simply backing up contents of the file system may not capture the state of the client, as previously explained. When the server 102 performs a backup of a client, it usually ensures that the appropriate backup groupings associated with the operating system are backed up at the same time or together to ensure that the operating system is backed up as a consistent unit and that the state of the client or system is preserved in the backup of the data. A client may include other applications or services, in addition to the operating system specific applications and services, that also have components that should be backed up as a consistent unit.
The server 102 also stores and manages a client file index 112 and a media volume 116 both on the server itself and on the backup storage 110. The client-file index 112 is an index of the backed up data items. The media volume 116 is an index of the backup volumes. The client file index 112 and the media volume 116 are collectively referred to herein as the "online indexes". The online indexes are typically stored on the backup storage 110 after the backup operation is complete.
Next, the files or data to be backed up are identified from the metadata document and the backup operation is performed using the metadata document and the snapshot 160. After the backup operation is completed, the snapshot is typically deleted 162.
The method of
A writer may be associated, for example, with a mail server, a database, an operating system, or other application or data store. Although embodiments of the invention can be implemented in connection with substantially any operating systems and computers that provide writers or similar functionality, one example of an operating system that employs writers is Windows 2003 and later Windows versions available from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Wash.
In this example, the physical volume 212 corresponds to the data identified in at least one of the backup groupings of the requestor 208. As the backup process continues, the writer may prepare the application for backup. This ensures that the physical volume, as well as the application, is in a consistent state. The writer may prepare the application (or service) for backup, for example, by preventing new transactions from occurring, finishing existing transactions, and flushing any cache to disk or to the physical volume 212. After a consistent copy is stored in the physical volume 212, a virtual volume 214 is created.
The virtual volume 214 is typically a snapshot of the physical volume. After the virtual volume 214 is completed, the application is released and can continue operation. The requestor 208 then performs the backup operation from the virtual volume 214.
More specifically, the requestor 208 asks the service 206 to identify the writers 202, 204 and to gather the metadata from the writers. In one embodiment, the service 206 only identifies active writers. The shadow copy service 206 provides metadata from the writers 202, 204 to the requestor 208 and the metadata includes an XML description of the backup components and the restore method. A writer XML file associated with each writer include information relating to the individual selectability criteria of the writer components. For example, the metadata or writer XML file may indicate that some of the writer components should be selected together for backup or recovery based on the selectability criteria and the component dependencies specified by the writer. In another example, some writer components may be individually selectable for recover, but may not be individually selectable for backup. Through the service 206, the requestor 208 can identify which volumes support a shadow copy for the volumes required by the XML description in the metadata.
Through the service 206, the writers freeze the activity of the corresponding applications and the requestor 208 then instructs the service 206 to create shadow copies (virtual volumes). After the snapshot(s) are completed, the writers may resume activity. A backup copy of the items identified in the backup groupings is then made from the one or more virtual volumes. After the backup is complete, the virtual volume(s) may be deleted.
2. Backup Groupings Used with Application Writers
The backup groupings 354 in the tree 350 typically include applications or services that may be associated with a writer. This is one reason they are grouped under the tree 350. The backup groupings 352 are not associated with corresponding writers. In this example, writers 324 populate the backup grouping 310. The component 313, however, which is also included in the backup grouping 310 along with the writers 324, does not have a writer in this example. Other components in other backup groupings, such as the component 305 and the component 318, do not have a writer in one example. These components are backup up together with the corresponding writers of the backup grouping to ensure that the backup grouping is backed up as a consistent unit. For example, all of the components and writers in the backup grouping 310 are backed up together even though the component 313 is not associated with a writer.
With reference to the backup groupings 354, the backup groupings 306, 308, 310, 312, 314, and 316 are system backup groupings and may include operating system writers. Because many writers of the system backup groupings 354 have interdependencies, it is preferable to back up all of the system's backup groupings at the same time. This ensures that the client can be restored in a consistent manner should restoration be required. In one example, at least the backup groupings 310, 312, and 314 should be backed up together in this example.
3. Individual Selectability of Backup Groupings, Writers, and Writer Components
When the bar 407 highlights a backup grouping or a writer, then the corresponding writer components are displayed in the interface 400. In this example, the writer 405 is selected and the writer components 406 are displayed to the user. The user has the option of selecting one or more of the writer components 406 for backup. The individual selectability of the writer components is controlled by the corresponding writer. In this case, the writer components 408 and 410 have been selected.
The selectability of the writers in a particular backup grouping can occur in both backup and recover operation. In some cases, it is advisable to select all of the writers in a backup grouping in order to ensure that the state of the client is preserved in the backup copy. The selectability of the writer components may be determined by the writer. Alternatively, the user can select which writer components to back up.
The selectability of a writer or of a writer component can be visually indicated to a user. For example, a check box or other icon or visual representation can be presented next to each writer or writer component.
4. Writer Component Dependency
Writers may also specify dependencies for its own writer components on writer components within other writers. When a writer component with a dependency is selected for backup or recovery, the dependency (which is typically a writer component) may also be selected. For example, an application is associated with a database. In order to recover the application, it may be necessary to save the database as well. Thus, a backup of the application should also include a backup of the database in order to be recovered properly. Failure to backup the database may result in a failed recovery of the application because the application depends on the database.
In this example, writer of the application specifies a dependency on the writer that is associated with the database. More particularly, the writer component of the application has a dependency on a writer component of the database's writer. This is illustrated in
The writer component 506 has a dependency, illustrated by the line 503, on the writer component 514. Thus, when the writer component 506 is selected by a user, the writer component 514 may be automatically selected for backup as well. Typically, the user is advised of this fact by a pop-up window that explains the relevance of the writer dependency. The user still has the option of deselecting the writer component 514. For example, the writer component 514 may correspond to a large database. If the user knows that the database has not changed, then the user may choose to deselect the writer component 514, which is a dependency of the writer component 506. This can improve performance of the backup operation. During a recovery, the user may also choose to not recover the dependency.
The occurrence of a writer dependency can exist in both backup and recover operations. The ability to deselect a dependent writer provides a user with more control over the backup or recover operation. The backup process can be configured to disable or ignore dependencies. This is often useful when the backup is initiated from a command line using the appropriate syntax.
5. Backup Groupings with Selectable Components for Backup and Restore Operations
Selectable backup groupings enable the server to adapt to changes in the requirements for backing up operating systems as well as other applications and service. In a similar manner, writers and writer components of a backup grouping or of an application can be selected for backup or recovery.
In this example, the client 602 includes an operating system 640, an application 604 (representative of multiple non operating system applications), and a service 612 (representative of multiple non operating system services). The operating system 640 is illustrated in terms of backup groupings and an operating system drive. In this example, the backup grouping 642 and the backup grouping 652 should be backed up together and recovered together to preserve the state of the client's system. The operating system drive 643 is typically included as well with the backup groupings 642 and 652.
The backup grouping 642 includes one or more services represented by the services 644 and 646. The backup grouping 652 includes one or more applications represented by the applications 654 and 656. One of skill in the art can appreciate that a backup grouping can include both services, applications, and/or other data. Some services and applications in the backup groupings 642 and 652 have an associated writer. As previously discussed however, some applications or services may not have a corresponding writer. The service 644 is associated with the writer 648, the service 646 with the writer 650, the application 654 with the writer 658, and the application 656 with the writer 660.
When the writers are enumerated, the backup server 620 becomes aware of the writers 648, 650, 658, 660, 610, and 618, which are all active writers in this example. As illustrated, the writers 648 and 650 have a particular type that places them in the backup grouping 642. For example, the backup grouping 628 illustrated in the interface 622 may correspond with the backup grouping 642 illustrated in the client 602.
As previously described, the requestor uses the shadow copy service to enumerate the writers 610, 618, 648, 650, 658, and 660 when a backup operation is initiated. These writers are active in this example and discovered by the backup process dynamically by querying the shadow copy service. In one embodiment, some of the content of the backup groupings may already be known to the backup process and do not need to be discovered.
Each writer is aware of the items or data that should be backed up for the associated application or service. For example, the writer 610 understands that the items to be backed up for the application 604 may include the component 606 and the component 608. The writer 610 may also identify items or components that can be individually selected for backup or recovery. The writer 610 may also identify items or components that need to be selected together for backup or recovery. Embodiments of the invention also enable individual selection of writers or writer components when the writer component(s) have a nested hierarchical relationship. In this case, dependencies can be selected within the hierarchical relationships. In addition, some of the writer components that are backed up together may not need to be recovered together. This information is typically provided to the backup and recover processes in a particular format, such as XML.
The server 620 can generate a user interface represented by the interface 622 that enables a user or administrator to select fewer than all of the writers and/or their components for backup and recover operations. For illustration purposes, the interface 622 displays backup groupings 628, 630, and 634. The backup grouping 628 includes the writer 626 and the writer 627. The writer 626 is associated with the writer components 624 and the writer 627 is associated with the writer components 629.
A checkbox is displayed by each backup grouping, writer, and writer component in the interface 622 and a user can check the checkboxes to select which backup groupings, writers, and/or writer components should be backed up and/or recovered. In one example, a visual indication such as an icon may be displayed if selectable backup/recovery is supported by the writer for a particular writer component or group of writer components. In other words, a user may not be permitted to select individual components for backup and/or recover when not supported by the writer. This gives the backup process and the recover process the ability to control the data that is backed up or recovered.
For example, through the interface 622, a user may select to backup only the backup grouping 642 of the operating system 640. As previously stated, it is often advisable to back up the operating system 640 as a logically consistent unit. This may require the selection of multiple backup groupings. Each backup grouping of the operating system 640 may be associated with more than one writer or with a different writer.
Certain backup groupings of the operating system 640 should be backed up all together in order to preserve the state of the client 602. At recover time, a warning may be issued to the user when the appropriate backup groupings are not all selected together or when a recommended backup grouping, writer, or writer component for a recovery is not selected. For example, if the backup grouping 628 and the backup grouping 630 (which correspond to the backup groupings 642 and 652) should be recovered together to restore the state of the client 602 and only the backup grouping 628 is selected, the recover process may advise the user that the backup grouping 630 should also be selected. However, the recover process may not prevent the user proposed recover operation from proceeding.
Thus, the backup and recover processes enable fewer than all of the backup groupings containing writers for a particular system to be backed up or recovered. In some instances, the state of the client can be preserved even when some of the components of the operating system are not selected. The operating system may be associated with some backup groupings that are not necessarily required to preserve the state of the system or client. This can result in improved performance by selectively backing up and/or recovering selected backup groupings or portions of backup groupings of the client 602 without risking that the state of the client is unprotected or inconsistent.
The interface 622 may also be used to initiate a recover operation. Because the operating system is typically backed up as a logical unit, the operating system is usually recovered as a unit. As previously indicated, each writer's metadata is saved as part of the backup operation. The metadata can be used to determine whether the restore is related to a shadow copy backup operation. If the backup copy was generated from a shadow copy (virtual volume), the shadow copy service illustrated in
7. Exemplary Computing Systems
The present invention extends to both methods and systems for backing up data. The embodiments of the present invention may comprise a special purpose or general-purpose computer including various computer hardware, as discussed in greater detail below.
Embodiments within the scope of the present invention also include computer-readable media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon. Such computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can comprise RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions or data structures and which can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. When information is transferred or provided over a network or another communications connection (either hardwired, wireless, or a combination of hardwired or wireless) to a computer, the computer properly views the connection as a computer-readable medium. Thus, any such connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media. Computer-executable instructions comprise, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions.
The following discussion is 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 computers in network environments. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Computer-executable instructions, associated data structures, and program modules represent examples of the program code means for executing steps of the methods disclosed herein. The particular sequence of such executable instructions or associated data structures represents examples of corresponding acts for implementing the functions described in such steps.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including personal computers, hand-held devices, 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 local and remote processing devices that are linked (either by hardwired links, wireless links, or by a combination of hardwired or wireless links) through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

By: Berkeley Brean
Part of our mission at News10NBC is accountability. If you do something wrong you should pay the penalty. But if you find that you're being accused of something that you know you didn't do, that's where we come in and go to bat for you. And tonight, it's a home run.
A ticket came in the mail this week for Michael Zabelny of Greece. It was a ticket from the Town of Brookhaven Parking Violations Bureau.
The fine?
Brean: Have you ever been to Brookhaven, Long Island?
Michael Zabelny: No. Didn't even know where it was til today.
Brookhaven is 400 miles away in the middle of Long Island.
"I thought it was some kind of a joke or a scam," Zabelny said.
But it's real. $125 for a parking violation back on July 16th, 2014. But there's absolutely no way Michael Zabelny could have violated this law on Long Island. He's an amputee and confined to a wheel chair.
Not only that, "I haven't driven my car since 2012," he said.
So how does this happen?
Well the license plate numbers on the ticket are the same digits on the license plate that once belonged to Michael. But he says he turned that in to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles last summer. Now it's turned up on a ticket in a place Zabelny's never been.
"There's no way I'm paying for that," he said. "Like I said I haven't driven a car in three years. Why should I pay that?"
Now the good news
We got some good news on this late this afternoon. After we made calls to the DMV and the Town of Brookhaven, the town discovered that a serious clerical error was made by the business it hires to collect outstanding fines. The license plate number on the ticket is completely different than what appears on the fine Michael Zabelny got. The lawyer for the town says she is changing the information in their system.
Now -- Michael Zabelny is off the hook.

As posted in my report from a day on the ice, I was schooled by someone with a flasher/vexlar/fishfinder/sonar or whatever they are called.
Will you folks that own them give me your opinion and cost?
I am looking for a bargain but realize you get what you pay for. I would like one that can also be used in the summer if my dream of becoming a boat owner ever comes true.
Thanks in advance,
PS. If you can tell me the long/lat of where you caught and released a MA bass this winter it would also be appreciated.
Sorry, I just had to voice my opinion on the Refuge lake specific location disclosure by a witness this week. I usually am pretty free with my reports but they are MY reports. I would never blow a member's attempt to conceal a hot spot. That was rude. I did go a bit undercover with my last report. I want those big gills to grow into monster ones. Tough to do in Eastern Nebraska Metro areas. But my exact long/lat could be determined based on my fishing report history and the tidbits I did share. I guess I'm just a sharing kind of person.
Please pan fry the little ones and throw back the big ones!
