Data Protection and Freedom of Information Authority in Hungary since January 1st 2012Submitted by Claudio Artusio on Thu, 01/05/2012 - 16:14
Significant development in the Hungarian public administration for the protection of citizens has been achieved by setting up a Data Protection and Freedom of Information Authority (in Hungarian: Nemzeti Adatvédelmi és Információszabadság Hatóság). This authority keeps the functions of the previous data protection ombudsman. Having a broader authority in case of abuse of personal data, fines of up to 10 million HUF might be imposed even repeatedly.
Attila Péterfalvi, an earlier ombudsman has been appointed by the State President as head of Hungary's National Data Protection and Freedom of Information Authority for nine years. The independence of the new authority is ensured by legal guarantees and the length of his term spans government cycles. The website of the authority will open under www.NAIH.hu in January.
Another important development is the new Act No. CXII of 2011 on Information Rights and the Freedom of Information, which replaced the former Act No. LXIII of 1992 on the Protection of Personal Data and the Publication of Data of Public Interest by 1 January 2012. LAPSI Consortium member HUNAGI has the intention to invite NAIH Head Dr. Péterfalvi to the LAPSI internal Thematic Seminar and the Data Session of HUNAGI 3rd Conference devoted to Mobile GIS scheduled for 22-23 March, 2012 in Budapest.

Sharing Public Data: Piedmont excels in EuropeSubmitted by Claudio Artusio on Wed, 12/21/2011 - 10:40
Thanks to its regional portal www.dati.piemonte.it, Piedmont built himself a solid reputation with regards to Public Data availability and re-use. In particular, the Italian region has been mentioned within the provisional version of the European Commission Communication on Open Data as one of the few examples of regional PSI portals, along with the Catalunyian PSI website (see here; page 4 of the Communication).
In addition to that, Piedmont recently adopted a regional law on the re-use of data produced by the local Public Administration; the law was approved yesterday, Tuesday 20th December. While the official text is not published already, more info are available here (in Italian).
The provisional version of the proposal for a revision of the Directive on PSI re-use and the Open Data Strategy also mentioned the LAPSI Thematic Network, which is a EU project funded coordinated by the NEXA Center for Internet & Society of the Politecnico of Turin, a Piedmontese center of research and advocacy. As mentioned in the proposal, the European Commission has obtained important legal analysis from research undertaken within the LAPSI thematic network (see here; page 7 of the proposal).

Open Data of the Bulgarian ParliamentSubmitted by Claudio Artusio on Tue, 12/20/2011 - 11:41
Open data of the Bulgarian Parliament is a transparency and open data project that features a repository of data from the Bulgarian Parliament: it contains information on the activities of the Parliament, the references to transcripts of plenary seatings, the votes, the absences of the members of the Parliament and more.
While the website is not approved, supported nor maintained directly by the Bulgarian Parliament, the data is scraped from the Parliament website, fixed and enriched so that everyone can use, remix and distribute it freely.
European Open Data Strategy Announced todaySubmitted by Claudio Artusio on Mon, 12/12/2011 - 19:07
This morning European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes announced an Open Data strategy for Europe.
The strategy to lift performance EU-wide is three-fold: firstly the Commission will lead by example, opening its vaults of information to the public for free through a new data portal. Secondly, a level playing field for open data across the EU will be established. Finally, these new measures are backed by the €100 million which will be granted in 2011-2013 to fund research into improved data-handling technologies.
The LAPSI Thematic Network has contributed to the reviewing process of the PSI Directive providing a legal analysis which looked into the legal implications of specific issues involving the re-use of PSI; such as exceptions to a default rule for charging marginal costs, the concept of 'public task' and non-discrimination, whether or not public undertakings should be covered by the PSI Directive, and licensing conditions (for further details: see the provisional version of the proposal for a revision of the Directive and the provisional version of the Communication on Open Data).
The Commission proposes to update the 2003 Directive on the re-use of public sector information by:
- Making it a general rule that all documents made accessible by public sector bodies can be re-used for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, unless protected by third party copyright;
- Establishing the principle that public bodies should not be allowed to charge more than costs triggered by the individual request for data (marginal costs); in practice this means most data will be offered for free or virtually for free, unless duly justified.
- Making it compulsory to provide data in commonly-used, machine-readable formats, to ensure data can be effectively re-used.
- Introducing regulatory oversight to enforce these principles;
- Massively expanding the reach of the Directive to include libraries, museums and archives for the first time; the existing 2003 rules will apply to data from such institutions.

Does MD Stock Brook Trout?
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Antietam
I caught this Brook Trout in the Antietam. It was estimated to be in the 15-17 inch range (released without measuring). Are Brook Trout stocked in the creek? I have caught dozens of trout out of the creek over the years, but never a Brook Trout, only rainbows and browns.
DNR Response: Hi Bill, Maryland does not stock Brook Trout anywhere within our state, and our native Brook Trout have been extirpated in the Antietam Creek mainstem in Maryland. However within the Antietam watershed upstream in Pennsylvania, the PA Fish Commission does stock many hatchery reared Brook Trout of this size and this is likely where this fish came from, and from its appearance it is indicative of a hatchery trout. Regardless it is a great catch!

325 Tasting Notes
FrrrrrrrrUIT !!!
Dry leaf: overwhelming aromas of roasted peaches, apricots and figs.
Wet leaf: Even. More. Overwhelming. Aromas.
This is either going to be the best Yunnan I've had, or it is going to be so bold and sweet I'll absolutely hate it. But, that will be a matter of my taste, not the quality of the tea. "Rare" grade, indeed.
1st ~ Aaannnd… mmmmmmm… Oh. Man. When I go through these long stretches of saving money buying tea at the market instead of ordering direct, I forget just HOW MUCH BETTER these teas are than what you can get from big retailers.
For all the boldness in the leaf this is a remarkably shy first steep. Cacao (not cocoa), fig and a mild finishing astringency which keeps the sweetness from becoming too cloying.
2nd ~ This is making me want to either re-locate my work computer into the kitchen next to the kettle, or move the kettle into the office next to my computer. I can't keep my cup full long enough or refill it quickly enough.
This tea helps you understand why people started adding honey to lesser teas. The roasted fruit is mellowing into more like a buckwheat honey (if you have never had very dark amber, buckwheat honey, it will COMPLETELY change how you think about honey) and the balance of the fast sweetness and lingering dryness remains intact.
3rd ~ Already even softer. Perhaps the exchange for this amazing flavor profile is that the candle is burning at both ends and we may only get but a handful of steeps from the leaf.
All in all, a FANTASTIC leaf.
I ordered a sample of this with my last Upton order, and after I tried it, a full bag immediately went onto my shopping list! It's a great one.
I have to say, I think gongfu is far better suited to pu-erh than it is to a lot of other tea. On the whole I haven't been super impressed with the increase in steeps compared to, shall we say, "leaf commitment" with most teas, but here I am on my third steep of this pu-erh that I made about 10 or 12 cups of yesterday — same leaves.
I was going to finally take the plunge on the wild arbor sheng today, but maybe I'll hold off. After I milk this shu a bit longer, I'll need to change up the flavor profile a bit more dramatically than that.
I go a total of 6 or 7 steeps out of the da hong pao. I think I made one error early on that, when corrected next time will result in better cups, and more of them.
So, it has been quite a while since I have had this pu-erh.
And I have never done short steeps with this tea.
The dry leaf is richly loamy to the nose. The wet leaf is like a freshly plowed field (not fertilized ;-)
1st ~ The liqueur is actually amber in color and the flavor is much more "open" than what I would get in the past with much longer steeps. The profile itself is the same, just presented in a different manner.
2nd ~ This steep is already black as night and the brew is that heady, thick, earthy cave that surrounds you. Shu may be a cheap imitation to some people, but I will always love it for what it is, not what it is not. I can already feel my Yi awakening.
3rd ~ Off to the races. Complex, mellow, warming, a hint of sharpness lingers on the tongue after swallowing.
Lots more steeps to follow, clearly.
"love it for what it is, not what it is not", excellent words that should be applied to all kinds of tea.
True. Although I think it is especially important with pu-erh. There are people who get so into the serious nature of the process of this tea that they can begin to think of shu as a pale shadow rather than simply letting it be shu. I don't find very many similarities between the two and see it more as a mimicry of process than a mimicry of results in a cup, so I don't quite understand the compulsion to degrade shu because it doesn't taste like sheng.
It is immediately apparent, upon opening this package that all the teas I have been drinking labeled "wuyi" are basically da hong pao clippings too many generations removed to be sold under that name. The dry leaf smells and looks the same. The wet leaf smells and looks the same. Black strap, new leather, and the skins of oven roasted potatoes.
Steeping double gaiwan style with a generous leaf ratio and a quick rinse to hydrate the leaves and heat the items (it has felt cold/drafty in the house prior to sun-up around here even though it isn't really anything like "cold" out, Houston walls just aren't that insulated).
1st ~ A very light brew. Amber honey color. Mostly getting the new leather with just a slight hint of that sweet molases and toasted/roasted aroma.
2nd ~ A bit darker, and a bit bolder. The three primary profile elements are more balanced in this cup. I am always amazed at the complete lack of fruit or floral notes in this tea while at the same time having nothing in the way of earthy tones (wet stone, loam) either. This tea manages to be all roast and sweetness.
3rd ~ Now the roast/toast is becoming most dominant.
I'll keep up the infusions with this one today, but I definitely want to try this tea Western style as well.
I really need to get four yixing – one for shu, one for sheng, one for oolong and one for Yunnan gold. I suspect this tea would really shine in a well seasoned yixing.
After my confounding experience with the yabao I needed something soothing and familiar.
I haven't had a draught of this tea in… ten months. That's about nine months and three weeks too long.
If you are at all a fan of smoke in tea, try this tea. It is not one of the "meaty" lapsangs. No bacon, no beef jerky, no barbecue, it tastes like smokey tea.
This is one of my favorite teas in the world. I often stray, but I always come back.
I don't think I've ever steeped it this briefly before, and the result is still fantastic.
All my teas arrived today, and I decided to start with the one I have no prior experience to benchmark. There is simply nothing like a yabao other than yabao. I tried to order the late winter variant, but they must be out because the site kept redirecting me to these and these are what I got.
To say this is going to be an exercise in subtly would be a vast understatement.
The buds are quite fat, and the color of lawn thatch when dry. They have almost no aroma that I can detect.
I did a quick rinse to remove dust and to heat all my vessels, I'm using my new double gaiwan technique to do steepings. Watching the buds pop open is a bit creepy and the whole affair reminds me a bit of eating crickets.
The wet buds smell exactly like bai mu dan, which makes perfect sense. They're both white buds.
1st ~ As long as it took to pour the water in, cover, and pour the water out. The result is almost perfectly clear. But there is flavor, here. I'll be darned if the toasted marshmallow comment in the write-up isn't true. There's also a non-green vegetable here. Maybe a root or tuber. Like ginger but not quite that sharp.
2nd ~ Again, just a few seconds. Still no color. Again, something sweet and biting, like ginger candy, but very soft. Maybe it isn't a vegetable, maybe it is Autumnal leaf piles. Maybe it is old, wet ones moldering a bit.
This is not a tea for accompanying anything. It requires total concentration to taste anything at all.
3rd ~ A three count between pouring and pouring. Just a bit of a hint of yellow color. Flavor a bit more present, but still very gentle.
The write-up claims you can get 18 infusions, but I don't know if I can focus that long.
I used 1tsp in a gaiwan which is what the instructions recommend, but I think next time I'll try more and see if I can't get things a bit more concentrated.
This is very interesting, but I'm hard-pressed to see it becoming a staple on my shelf.
I think you can safely read teaspoon as tablespoon. You'll enjoy it more if you put in what a tsp of tea would normally be… by weight- the tea is so super light and fluffy.
The sipping down continues.
Orders with Upton and Verdant have been placed and are anxiously awaited.
Yesterday afternoon we shared a good six steepings of this tea with the reverend Father Symeon during his visit to perform the annual blessing of our home. It proved the perfect brew to stimulate a prolonged discussion and good fellowship.
Jim, do you ever post reviews on Upton's website? I have, and if you want you can view mine. I'm Scott from Ohio.
I want to order from them but I get overwhelmed when I see all the options. There are a couple I know I want, and I want that tea scale!
I had to "put up" the green pu-erh cake from Central Market to age at least six months, maybe a year. This leaves (no pun intended) me with just a few teas that I am slowly working my way through so that I can justify an order to Upton, Verdant and/or Red Blossom.
So, this means many cups of this gyokuro and another lesser Japanese green that Liz brought back with her from Tokyo.
In having complained about the lackluster nature of this tea in the past, I have been thinking about what I can do to allow it to show me the best it has to offer.
I remembered observing a senchado — Japanese tea ceremony utilizing sencha instead of matcha — and that their steep times were quite short. Since I am currently obsessed with my two gaiwan method of preparation I have been engaging a very short steep time and the result has been interesting.
Early steeps are extremely delicate and are such a pale green they are almost blue. The liqueur is almost sweet. Later steeps take on the more traditional yellow-green with the stronger, more vegetal flavors.
At least it keeps me busy.
I found a tiny bit of this left over as well, and so I'm in use-up-samples mode before I compile my order of new teas for 2012.
I'm bumping this up a bit having had it on the heels of the Xin Yang Mao Jian. The two are so different that I'm able to appreciate this cup a lot more than the last time I tasted it.
The Xin Yang Mao Jian is delicate and shy. This is big, bold, strong and a bit unrefined (but not in a bad way). I love the Xin Yang Mao Jian in my delicate little gaiwan but I feel like I should be drinking this Chun Mei out of my 16 ounce mug with the Ester Island face on it.
The color is a deep golden and yet the flavor has very little roast this time. This is like an untamed thicket of rioting green foliage.

How to Lose That Baby Weight
Before you were a mom, your tight, toned body looked perfect in everything from skinny jeans to tank tops. Now you have to hide your stomach's flabby pouch – which is large enough to house a baby kangaroo, just for the record – under baggy sweat pants and hoodies. You aren't alone – not that hearing that cheers you up or makes you magically skinny again.
After the baby arrives, many new moms find themselves reminiscing about the slim, toned stomach they once had. Don't rush to the gym days after you give birth, though — wait until your health care provider says it's safe to resume your workout routine. Recovery times vary drastically and depend on whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, as well as the severity of any complications that occurred during the delivery.
There's a good reason your doctor makes the big bucks: He knows what he's doing. It's tempting to jump right back into your regular workout routine, but don't even think about it. Trust us on this one.
Your doctor will request to see you anywhere from two to six weeks after you deliver your precious little bundle of joy. Do not cancel your appointment, no matter how sleep-deprived or cranky you are. When you arrive, discuss your weight loss goals with your ob/gyn or one of the nurses. Ask him which exercises, if any, are safe for your healing body. He can offer customized weight loss information and review any potential risks associated with a postpartum workout routine.
It seems like the Food Pyramid changes every five minutes – in fact, now folks refer to it as "My Plate". With that in mind, you may not even know what healthy food is anymore. That's okay – Xobebe's got your back.
Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, substituting frozen and canned foods when fresh produce is not an option. Keep in mind that canned and frozen produce is more likely to contain massive amounts of sodium and fatty sauces, so read nutrition labels carefully. Don't be afraid to be that crazy lady at the grocery store who picks up every single can of food and stares at the nutrition label intently. Do you ever notice that woman is always skinny?
Anyway, let's not get sidetracked here. Most produce contains a small to moderate amount of fat and calories, making it an ideal choice for any postpartum mom who dreams of a tiny tummy. Lean meats, low-calorie dairy products and whole grains are other healthy options.
Oh, and don't forget to drink plenty of water! If you hate water, opt for orange juice, unsweetened tea, or anything other than soda. Yes, that includes diet soda. Say it with us: Diet soda is NOT healthy.
Wear clothes that feel — and look — good when you exercise. Nothing kills a workout like painful blisters from tight tennis shoes or underwear lodged in your bottom, courtesy of a pair of ill-fitting yoga pants. And let's not even talk about those ugly, too-tight sports bras that smash your girls deep down into your chest.
So go ahead and buy that hot pink workout hoodie – and those overpriced super trendy athletic shoes. Heck, you may as well get that lime green sports bra, too. The right workout outfit just might motivate you to get moving on days when exercising is the absolute last thing you want to do.
Practice exercises specifically designed for women recovering from childbirth. Yes, we're fully aware that some of these exercises are boring and remind you of your junior high gym class.
Try modified versions of many of your favorite exercises, such as sit-ups with a pillow below your head. Bend your knees and slowly sit up, holding your position for no longer than five seconds.
Ankle circles and arm circles might also help you slim down. Gently swing each leg and arm in a small circle, rotating from legs to arms and back after every 10 circles. Alternate between sets of clockwise and counterclockwise circles.
In case you weren't paying attention earlier, check with your doctor before performing any of these exercises. Promise?
Exercise with your baby. Day care is not always an option, and it's no secret that many moms crave social interaction with other adults. Not that you don't love having heart-to-hearts with your infant. And the cat.
Join a fun exercise group geared toward moms, such as StrollerFit. Socialize as you walk or jog the calories away. Swap cute baby stories, healthy recipes and exercise tips with the other moms — and agree to hold each other accountable for missed workout sessions. Sometimes, a few words of encouragement – and criticism – from other moms are all you need to get your pre-pregnancy body back.
Update: We just found this great program called "Pregnancy Without Pounds"

ABSTRACT: As changes in family structure and working patterns lead to decreased adult supervision of children, the nature of effective intervention programs is an increasingly important issue.The absence of a firm data base in this area implies the need for special care in examining existing data and in making responsible recommendations. Psychologists have not always done this, however, and today the public is pointing its fingers and-economic conditions being what they are-pulling its purse strings. Despite gaps in current knowledge, as well as past mistakes, several proposals can nevertheless be made with confidence. First, societal interventions should focus on improving social competence rather than on attempting to alter cognitive abilities. Evidence shows that the IQ gains which often result from intervention may fade out, but improved social competence is not so quick to disappear. Secondly, we should end our search for magic periods in which to intervene and begin to appreciate the continuity of human development. We must also respect the fact of biological heterogeneity by recognizing that no single intervention will be best for all groups of individuals at risk.Finally, we have learned the dangers of attempting to base social policy on extreme positions;future actions should reflect more moderate, defensible stances.

Saints Sign Veteran TE Alex Smith
Top 10 Quarterbacks Drafted #1 Overall
Being drafted #1 overall as a quarterback in the NFL usually means you will become one of two things...boom or bust. While there are a few examples of guys like Carson Palmer and Alex Smith who fall somewhere in the middle, you usually gets busts like JaMarcus Russell or Tim Couch, or booms like Terry Bradshaw or Peyton Manning. Let's take a look at the top 10 Quarterbacks Drafted #1 in NFL History.
Silly Super Bowl Prop Bets For Sunday's Big Game
Hundreds of millions of dollars will be bet on Super Bowl XLVII. Not just bet on who will win the game, but millions will be spent on prop bets. In most cases, silly prop bets. For instance, how many times will "Harbaugh" be said during the game. The over/under on that one is 21.5. Other fun prop bets include...

Beach bathing given green light
The SNP today welcomed reports today that 95% Scotland's bathing waters have been given a clean bill of health - including a number of beaches receiving 'good' status.
As Scotland enjoys a fine spell of sunny weather with families and individuals taking to the beaches across the country, the European Bathing Water report has found that the quality of coastal and inland swimming waters is improving across the UK, with nearly all of our beaches having achieved 'mandatory' status by the end of last season, and nearly half having met the tougher 'guideline' standard.
Kevin Stewart, SNP MSP for Aberdeen Central, said:
"This is very welcome news – coming just as summer finally appears to be upon us.
"Scotland is blessed with countless fabulous beaches – many of them close to my constituency. Balmedie, Cruden Bay and Stonehaven all which gained good or mandatory status.
"The SNP is dedicated to a cleaner and greener Scotland and this is backed-up by our commitment to making Scotland the world leader renewable energy."

'Chuck' Season 4, Episode 15 Recap
Things were going pretty well there for a while on 'Chuck,' but tonight unfortunately didn't live up to recent standards. 'Chuck Versus the Cat Squad' possessed neither the thrilling spy work that marked the end of the Volkoff era, nor the fall-down funny antics of last week's edition. The show seems to know where it wants to go in this final stretch of season 4, but doesn't seem entirely clear on how to pace things out. Moreover, it's unclear if the arc they have started actually helps Sarah Walker or simply sells her out.
Atop this week's list of frustrations: the return of overly dramatic problems in the relationship between Chuck and Sarah. The show doesn't seem able to let them simply be a couple for more than a week at a time, and thus after last week's frivolity, it's back to Chuck unwittingly annoying Sarah. His offense this week? Reuniting The Clandestine Attack Team, aka The C.A.T. Squad. Think 'Charlie's Angels' and you have ... well, you have pretty much the exact picture, albeit filtered through Morgan's hyperactive, hypersexual imagination.
A week of girl power on the show would have been dandy. But instead, not only did their reintroduction lead to a mission with a twist telegraphed in the first act, it led to another episode of Chuck setting Sarah off only to come groveling back (mid-mission, another staple of a subpar 'Chuck' episode) before the two could re-establish common ground. For the first half of the episode, I was annoyed at Chuck for once again going behind her back. After all, he treated her the way he would want to be treated, but the Golden Rule doesn't necessarily apply in this case. Instead of respecting her wishes for privacy and trying to break them down through conversation, he just got the old gang back together again without her consent.
However, by episode's end I was mad at Sarah, or rather, at the use of Sarah by 'Chuck.' Having two people who love each other, yet still possessing different points of view on life, should be celebrated, especially on this, Valentine's Day. But the lesson of 'Cat Squad' seemed to be that Chuck's point of view is correct, and that she needs to embrace her past in the way that Chuck has. But Mary Bartowski does not equal The C.A.T. Squad. For Sarah to embrace what family she already has around her is already a huge step in the right direction for this formerly solitary woman. Anything more seems like Chuck imposing his will, not Sarah opening up.
That's not to say that Chuck's viewpoint is "wrong," per se. My problem comes not from his viewpoint but rather the show's seeming insistence that his viewpoint supersede hers. I realize it's a bit strange to harsh on a worldview in which friends/family are a pervasive element, but it's a little like environmentalists who chain themselves to trees in order to make their voices heard. No matter how good the message, the method by which it's delivered can have a big impact upon the listener. I'm sure Chuck's actions, and Sarah's eventual acceptance, worked for many of you. I wish it worked for me as well.
What DID work for me? Morgan's final speech to Alex, which saved the episode from complete mediocrity. The relationship between the two has always been more about the show telling us they are a good couple rather than simply showing us, but by keeping the two apart for the majority of the hour (thanks to the nefarious Carina), the show managed to give us a much better sense of their feelings for one another than at any point since her introduction into the show. The way Joshua Gomez let the surprise wash over his face after the first "I love you" was complete magic. With each increasing week, Morgan is Chuck from season 1. And I pretty much loved that Chuck.
This new one? He's got his ups and downs. More ups than downs, but this was a down week for him as the show as a whole. I've got no worries that later episodes will rebound from this, but the show will have a better chance of doing that if they don't turn Chuck and Sarah into a single entity as their wedding day approaches. Their differences not only make their characters strong, but make that couple strong as well.
Other thoughts about tonight's episode:
*** Other than Morgan's speech, the other emotional highlight came from Casey's wistful moment in the van during the Rio mission. I'm glad the show isn't forgetting the thread about Alex's mother, especially if we're due for a double wedding come the season finale.
*** I didn't mention Lou Diamond Phillips above because, well, he barely registered onscreen. That's a shame, especially with the show's history of colorful villains such as Volkoff and Generalissimo Goya.
*** If you played a drinking game in which you drank every time the show made a feline reference, well, you're probably reading this on your smartphone in the hospital.
*** I want an episode in which Casey hunts unicorns. That would be amazing. Not as amazing as watching Mikhail Gorbachev bust a move on a Miami dance floor, but still.
'Chuck' airs Mondays at 8PM ET on NBC.
What did you think of tonight's episode? Did you enjoy The C.A.T. Squad in action, or was the episode D.O.A. upon their appearance? Should the show fully let Morgan turn into old-school Chuck, thereby letting Chuck actually evolve? Or were things just as good as ever as far as you were concerned? Leave your thoughts below!

Bringing eye care to elderly people at home
Arif Ladha, BSc (Hons), MCOptom.
Regional Clinical Manager, Healthcall Optical Services, and a member of the Federation of Ophthalmic and Dispensing OpticiansMany elderly people still want to continue to live relatively independent lives and preserve their dignity, but they do not always have access to services that would allow them to do so. One such vital service is eye care.
Older Eyes, the new NHS-backed campaign for elderly eye care, was launched on December 7 last year. Run by the Federation of Ophthalmic and Dispensing Opticians (FODO) and the Association of Optometrists (AOP), and supported by the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB), Age Concern and Help the Aged, it is an awareness campaign spearheading the message that domiciliary eye care is essential for anyone who is unable to visit an optician.Alongside the campaign, the optical profession also launched its Code of Practice for Domiciliary Eyecare. It sets out guidelines for the kind of service people can expect, with procedures for follow-ups and ongoing care. Care homes and carers, as well as individuals in their own homes across the country will, for the first time, have clear guidelines as to what they must demand from optical contractors.The code will be made available to all such institutions and practitioners, even if they do not belong to FODO or AOP.The Chairman of the Domiciliary Eyecare Committee, Jayne Rawlinson, said that there had been over two years' work on the code and the intention was to carry on driving it forward, working with primary care trusts to raise awareness, particularly among GPs and practice nurses.What can you do?
As a nurse you can be a vital link in providing information about the importance of eye care and the means by which it can be obtained for those who need a domiciliary visit. It is also important to open lines of communication between other sectors of the medical profession. The optical profession is working very hard to achieve this, and with your help it can go a long way towards getting there.How can you make a difference?
It is important to arm yourself with information on domiciliary eye care, or at least the means by which it can be obtained. Below are contact details to help you to do this:- The launch and full code of practice can be seen at www.eyecarers.org- The ophthalmic department of your local primary care trust will be able to give you a list of contractors who provide domiciliary eye-care services- The RNIB can give help and advice for people who have impaired vision. Available at: www.rnib.org.uk- Information about domiciliary eye care within the optical profession can be found at the website for the British College of Optometrists.

For 29 years, the American Institute of Architects, California Council has celebrated outstanding architecture through the AIACC Design Awards program. Once again, the AIACC last week announced recipients of this years competition.
According to the council, architects realize that design is about relationships, not just looks. Its about how look and feel, use and comfort, stability and durability come together to support one another, the council says. How light shapes space and space shapes light -- and how light and space together suggest where we would most like to sit. There are less tangible benefits, too, like the delight that people find in good buildings.
The council says that design is only one component of architecture, but a very important one, from many view points. As a community, citizens utilize and enjoy the structure through all the amenities it offers. Design matters to the architect, as well as to those it serves, often for generations to come.
More than 325 submittals were reviewed by the Design Awards jury, which this year was comprised of Annie Chu, AIA, Principal, Chu + Gooding Architects, Los Angeles; Peter H. Dodge, FAIA, Consulting Founding Partner, EHDD Architecture, San Francisco; Robert Ivy, FAIA, Editor in Chief, Architectural Record, New York; Stephen Kieran, FAIA, Kieran Timberlake, Philadelphia; and Maryann Thompson, FAIA, Maryann Thompson Architects, Cambridge, Mass.

Tony Alamo Ministries is now considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors such organizations:
Evangelist Tony Alamo is back in Arkansas, and making news again.
Once based in Alma, Arkansas, Tony Alamo Ministries essentially went out of business when its leader went to prison in 1994 for tax evasion. After his release in 1998, he set up shop again, this time in the town of Fouke, near Texarkana.
Now, the church is officially listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors such organizations.
SPLC spokesman Mark Potok says Alamo's hate is largely directed at one target: the Catholic church, which he blames for everything from communism and Nazism to pornography and the Jonestown Massacre.
But it's not just the anti-Catholic rhetoric. Potok says dozens of women have accused Alamo of engaging in polygamy and sex with underage girls.
- Source: Tony Alamo Ministries is listed as a hate group by SPLC, KUAR, USA, Oct. 22, 2007
In a recent report on Tony Alamo Ministries, the Southern Poverty Law Center writes:
Alamo blames the Catholic Church for every evil imaginable, including communism, Nazism, the two world wars and even the Jonestown Massacre. "Narcotics, prostitution, pornography, booze and black market - every filthy thing – can be traced right back to the Vatican," the cult leader has written. Hatred of Catholics isn't Alamo's only unorthodox belief. In 1993, he published a tract called "The Polygamists" which argued, "the Holy Scriptures proclaim polygamy to be righteous." Fourteen years later, he still pushes that message, producing daily radio broadcasts that are beamed around the country and the world and proclaim a holy man's right to take multiple wives.
It doesn't stop there. Alamo, who has three children by three different, current "wives," also has been justifying sex with underage girls over the radio waves in recent years. It's hard not to be reminded of similar attitudes among other cult leaders, from Warren Jeffs, the jailed leader of the polygamist Fundamentalist Latter-Day Saints, to David Koresh, the late apocalyptic chief of the Branch Davidian sect in Waco, Texas, and a man Alamo says was "like a brother to me." Both Jeffs and Koresh have been accused of having sex with children.
Alamo argues that girls should marry once they start menstruating — even if they are as young as 10. In one September 2006 broadcast, he put it like this: "God impregnated Mary when she was about 11 years old. So the government idiots, the people that don't know the Bible, what you're going to have to do is get a hold of God now, you're going to have to get up there and 'cuff him and send him to prison for statutory rape."
It's a theme that Alamo keeps coming back to. In a radio show just this Feb. 24, the preacher cited the alleged promiscuity of first-graders as grounds for marrying them before the legal age of consent.
It's these kinds of statements from the purported prophet of God that have helped drive mounting concerns among ex-followers and others familiar with Tony Alamo, even as his churches — in Saugus, Calif., Elizabeth, N.J., and Ft. Smith and Fouke, both in Arkansas — continue to grow. Some with long memories recall the end of Alamo's first reign, when a 1991 government raid on a mountain ridge in Arkansas left his headquarters compound abandoned and in disrepair, and wonder whether the same thing is coming again soon.
Cult expert and deprogrammer Steve Hassan, the author of Combating Cult Mind Control, has followed the activities of the Alamo cult since Alamo's release from prison in 1998. Like many others, he is surprised Alamo is still free.
"Tony Alamo is power-hungry, deluded, paranoid and exploitative, certainly as far as what he's doing with young girls," says Hassan. "I don't know if law enforcement is either corrupt or [too] nervous to pursue him."
Officials with the Arkansas State Police, where ex-followers have made a series of complaints against Alamo in recent years, would not say if the cult leader is under investigation. "As a matter of policy, the Arkansas State Police does not address questions or publicly discuss elements of any investigation that may be open," said spokesman Bill Sadler.
So, for now, Fouke residents and ex-Alamo followers plan to continue turning up the heat in hopes of bringing increased scrutiny to Tony Alamo Christian Ministries and its leader. "I'd like to see him arrested immediately," Susan Groulx says. "There's no reason why he should be free and no reason why this should drag on any longer."
EDITOR'S NOTE Based on evidence compiled recently by the Intelligence Report, the Southern Poverty Law Center is adding Tony Alamo Christian Ministries to its list of hate groups. Future listings will include active chapters of the group.

iPod video updated to v1.2.2; Win2000 issues
updated 10:05 pm EST, Tue November 13, 2007
iPod video v1.2.2 update
Apple today released a minor update to its software for the iPod video. The company only said that the update brought "bug fixes" in its documentation, but some users report the ability to sync iPhoto Events (limited to recent events). Some users without latest iTunes 7.5 software on Windows 2000/XP/Vista machines may display no songs after the update, but updating to the latest iTunes -- not compatible with Windows 2000 -- resolves the problem for many; however, it appears that Windows 2000 must downgrade to version 1.2.1, according to a detailed posting on Apple's discussions forums that describes a method to "trick" iTunes into restoring with a previous version of the firmware (older versions are usually stored on startup drive).

Work in the City? Swap pinstripes for a Pinarello in race against Wiggo & Co tomorrow
Team, Sky stars take on the public in IG Markets Square Mile Challenge and we'll be there, too!
Previous News
City of London office workers will tomorrow get a chance to swap their pinstripes for a Pinarello at the IG Markets Square Mile Challenge being held with Team Sky at Broadgate Circle close to Liverpool Street Station.
The event is being held to mark the announcement last week of IG Markets as the British pro outfit's latest sponsor, and Team Sky riders Bradley Wiggins, Geraint Thomas, Ben Swift and Russ Downing will be taking turns to challenge fans in a one-mile virtual race.
Each race will pit one of the pros against seven contenders, one of whom will be road.cc's very own Mat Brett, so if you're in the area, get along there to cheer him on and meet the Team Sky pros. You'll also have the chance to look around the team car as well as have your bike serviced free by a top mechanic.
Although allotted race slots have already been filled up, there may be limited stand-by opportunities throughout the day, so you may even get a chance to take on some of Britain's top pros yourself.
While there is a prize of a Pinarello FP1 bike for whoever sets the fastest time of the day, there's an extra incentive to go better than the pros – if anyone does manage to do that, Team Sky is offering a Pinarello Dogma bike to the fastest person to do so.
If that did happen, the winner would fully deserve the bike, with Thomas the third fastest man in the Individual Pursuit on the track, Wiggins a double Olympic champion in that event as well as current British time trial champion, and Swift and Downing both notching up individual wins on the road during Team Sky's debut season.
The event, which takes place between 10am and 3.30pm, ties in with two themes Dave Brailsford touched upon when we met him and sports director Sean Yates in Windsor last week
One is that the team plans to take itself a bit less seriously next year, introducing a bit more of a 'fun' element to proceedings, the other that it's important for the riders not to become too isolated from their fans, epitomised by Team Sky's practice of throwing up a cordon around the team bus during big races.

FigTree for Mac1.4.2
editor's review
FigTree is a Java based Mac OS X application that offers you the possibility to visualize phylogenetic trees. The app is able to generate graphical representations for phylogenetic trees created by the BEAST application, comes with a user friendly GUI, and enables you to make the illustrations ready for publication.
Visualize phylogenetic trees via a clean and well organized user interface that puts an accent on practicality
In ordinary terms, the FigTree app creates diagrams that show the similarities and differences between the genetic structure of various biological species in order to find a common ancestor.
The FigTree app enables you to visualize the phylogenetic trees in the center area of its main window, while a panel placed on the left side allows you to adjust the representation's layout, structure, appearance, and so on.
Moreover, the top window toolbar offers you the possibility to rotate the tree, reroot a brach, make text annotations, change the color or highlight certain parts of the tree-chart, and so on.
Create, customize and manage phylogenetic charts and graphs with the help of this easy-to-use app
FigTree offers you the possibility to switch between different viewing modes when analyzing phylogenetic trees: rectangular, polar, or radial tree layout. Note that, within the Layout panel you can also customize the look of your diagram by tweaking the curvature, root length, expansion, magnification level, or apply a "Fish Eye" effect so your charts will better fit into FigTree's main window.
Furthermore, users can export the tree diagrams in publication-ready formats, such as tree files, PDF documents, or image file formats such as JPG, PNG, or SVG. Also, for your convenience FigTree brings to the table a Search tool that enables you to find elements using specific tags such as: node age, branch length, taxon label, height, length and more.
Useful application designed to aid scientist who study the evolution of biological species
All in all, FigTree offers a simple, yet competent approach for the creation and management of phylogenetic trees, thus, providing a helpful solution for researchers all over the world in fields such as bioinformatics and comparative phylogenetics.

Former Willard resident Randy Ruff skipped his arraignment and went straight to being sentenced Wednesday.
Ruff, 41, pleaded guilty to theft of a motor vehicle and failure to appear.
"The balance of the charges will be dismissed," said Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler, referring to one count each of theft and tampering with evidence.
Ruff was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison. That term will run at the same time he serves a one- to -five year term in Michigan for grand larceny of a motor vehicle.
"This will guarantee he will serve at least two years," Leffler said.
Huron County Common Pleas Judge Jim Conway told Ruff his right to an appeal is "very limited because you're agreeing to the charges and sentence." The plea deal and sentence were a joint recommendation between Leffler and Ruff's attorney, Huron County Public Defender David Longo.
At the beginning of Wednesday's hearing, Longo said Ruff waived his right to an arraignment and the related formalities.
"Mr. Ruff is anxious to get the issue resolved here and now," Longo told the judge.
A Huron County grand jury indicted Ruff on Aug. 23.
Ruff's conviction is for a Nov. 16, 2012 incident investigated by the Huron County Sheriff's Office. Leffler said Ruff and his accomplices, Willard residents Ronald D. Ruff, 35, and Sammie J. Shaarda, 28, stole a pickup truck, some all-terrain vehicles, tires and chainsaw.
"I never touched the four-wheelers; I just drove the truck," Ronald Ruff said during his September sentencing hearing.
Ruff is serving 17 months in prison for grand theft of a motor vehicle. Once he is released, he could be on as much as three years of parole.
Before the local case, Ruff finished serving 17 years in prison for an armed robbery in Detroit. He was 17 years old when he was convicted.
In late August, Shaarda was granted intervention in lieu of conviction. That means she won't have a conviction for grand theft and theft if she successfully completes substance abuse treatment.
Investigators later matched Randy Ruff's DNA with items found in the truck.
"The defendant was charged and failed to appear for a preliminary hearing in (Norwalk) Municipal Court, having left the state," Leffler said Wednesday.
Ruff and two male suspects were arrested without incident April 29 by the U.S. Border Patrol after attempting to remove tires from a stolen vehicle. Ruff originally was booked at Detroit's 2nd Precinct.
"This was a pretty serious series of crimes," Leffler said. "Richland County was involved in this (investigation). Someone eventually ratted (Ruff) out. We got a bit lucky on the DNA in the truck."
Ruff and his accomplices must pay $7,450 in restitution to the male victim from Shelby. There was another victim -- a rural Plymouth woman -- who had the tires from her son's truck recovered.
In Erie County, Ruff has a pending charge of grand theft.

In order for our residents and other readers of the Suburban Trends to get a true understanding of the events and occurrences in Riverdale as reported in the newspaper, we will attempt to correct their mistakes, misrepresentations and typographical errors. We understand that we all make mistakes, but those presented in the media as facts tend to cause disproportionate confusion among the citizenry.
"All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced on them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else." H.L. Mencken
On Monday evening, at a meeting of the Riverdale Mayor and Council, Christopher Scilingo, a U.S. Marine, who just returned from Iraq for a two week visit, was honored for his service to our country. All the newspapers and electronic media were notified. Certificates of Appreciation were presented to Chris on behalf of the Mayor and Council and our representatives from the 26th Legislative District, Senator Robert Martin, Assemblymen Alex DeCroce and Joseph Pennachio. A letter of congratulations and an invitation to receive a service medal was read on behalf of the Morris County Freeholders.
Unfortunately, the only print media we have seen was the Trends. I don't know what is worse, ignoring the story or treating it as something so insignificant that it is considered no more than a "by-the-way" story - a filler. See for yourself if this story deserved more than given it by the Trends. Iraqi Freedom War Veteran
If you would like to see some of the photos taken that evening check them out on our website, the homepage under Welcome Home, Chris Scilingo, or Chris Scilingo Photo Album
Subject: That's It?
This is a copy of an email I received from a member of the Recreation Committee. So you see, dear editors, I am not the only one who perceives this inadequacy in your news coverage when it comes to Riverdale.
"The Trends never ceases to amaze me when it comes to coverage of Rec stuff in Riverdale. If anyone saw the Trends this morning, Fright Night only got one picture of a Carved Pumpkin by the DJ Stand. I saw, met, and spoke to the Trends Photographer Saturday who was snapping away and still, Rec only gets one pic in the paper. Other towns will get an entire page for their event! Oh well....congratulations to him who carved the pumpkins shown in the picture!!" (Rob Schrock).
"TCR project may be DOA" claimed the front page headline in the Trends.
Where to begin?
Trends: "...the developers refused to sign the contract because they did not want to pay a $3.6 million connection fee."
FACT: $1.6 million
Trends: "This $3.6 million was determined by a state formula, the mayor said. 'At $25 a gallon, they are buying 144,000 gallons.'"
FACT: The $3.6 million dollars represents the cost to be paid to Lincoln Park for the purchase of the 144,000 gallons for TCR. It is not a state formula, merely free market pricing.
TCR said after the meeting that they would sign the contract.
Throughout July and August the Borough of Riverdale provided free Summer Concerts in the Park. We had professional recording artists, including the Shirelles, perform in Freedom Park. Thousands attended the seven concert series, but to the Trends it was a non-event.
On Saturday, August 25, the Fire Department celebrated its 100th Anniversary, which included the memorial dedication to one of our fallen heroes, "Papa" Joe Ezzo. That date happened to be the 25th anniversary of his death. His family was here to take part in the service. No story in the Trends.
On that day a lamp post was dedicated to Fireman Daniel Sturm, Jr. for his 50 years of service to the department. His family was there to witness his proud moment. No story in the Trends.
See for yourself some of the photos from this memorable day:
Fire Department's 100th Anniversary
They did it again! The Riverdale feature in this edition was a photo, Nice Yard. We finally get a positive photo in the Trends, but they couldn't even get the caption correct! (There was no accompanying story, just the photo and caption.) The caption read, "The Riverdale Recreation Department held a best garden contest and the winner was June Carello and Russ Maria of 25 Cotluss Road. Carello and Maria can both be seen outside tending to their yard almost every day."
Two (?) mistakes:
It is not June Carello, the correct spelling is Carelli.
More importantly, it isn't a picture of June Carello-Carelli. It is a photo of Elfriede and Russ Maria. They are the ones who work on their yard almost every day. As far we are aware June Carelli, our Recreation Director, has never been known to work on the Maria's yard ever, let alone almost every day. June was not even present when the picture was taken, but if the Trends can find a way to get something wrong, it does.
Photo of Elfriede and Russ Maria
Riverdale Board of Health Chairman Larry Feld had responded, by way of a letter to the editor, to a Trends article that did not present a balanced representation of the facts and the deliberations supporting the Board's decision to take part in the shared nursing services with the Township of Pequannock. The Borough of Riverdale had no intention of eliminating or reducing public health nursing to its residents; the Board merely decided to find an alternative way, at a savings of $24,000 per year, to meet its state mandates. Since the Trends, whose editor personally assured Mr. Feld that his letter would be printed, has, for whatever reason, unilaterally determined that the letter was non-newsworthy, the Borough is making this forum available to our chairman to inform the residents of Riverdale of this important decision.
Chairman Larry Feld's Letter to the Editor of the Trends
A story entitled: "Nurse says seniors helped save her job" had its usual amount of errors.
Trends: Referred to Board of Health Chairman Larry Fled.
FACT: His name is Larry Feld
Trends: "The borough would have saved slightly less than $9,330 by eliminating this position and leaning upon Pequannock for its registered nurse services through a joint contract with that town."
FACT: The borough would have saved $24,000 per year by contracting with Pequannock for the nursing services.
Trends: "Decreasing the hours saved just over $3,000 per year."
FACT: Decreasing the hours would have saved the borough $5,000 for the remainder of this year or $11,000 per full year.
While perusing the last two issues the reader gets the impression that just about every community had a Memorial Day Parade, except for Riverdale. Since the Trends claims to be At the Center of Your Community, one would gather that Riverdale went parade-less. The Truth is we did have a parade, the first one in nearly twenty years, which should make it a newsworhty event. June Carelli, our Recreation Director, put it together and we are extremely grateful for her and her committee's work. Jame McMichael organized his last Memorial Day Ceremony; he's "retiring". With his entire family present, he was given a Certificate of Appreciation from the Mayor and Council and presented an American Flag that was flown above the U.S. Capitol, sent to us by Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen.
If the Trends had sent a reporter and photographer to Riverdale, these are some of the sights you would have seen (just click below):

*They could have used some of the photos from our website, since they obviously don't mind plagiarizing material. On Page D2, the notice, Parade, is taken verbatim from our website. It is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. We are flattered.
All news worth printing is in the Trends each week. Since there is no news about Riverdale these past two issues, nothing of note must have happened in Riverdale.
A News Brief, Senior Center Fees is, non-editorially speaking, incorrect.
TRENDS: The revised ordinance prohibits non-residents, individuals, groups, and organizations from using the center for private functions.
FACT: This is a new ordinance, not revised. The ordinance reads: � 159-2. Use of the Senior Community Center by private groups, organizations, or individuals shall be subject to rules and regulations established by the Mayor and Borough Council and it shall be a violation of this Ordinance and the failure to comply with the rules and regulations shall be a violation of this Ordinance. There is no mention of prohibiting anyone from using the center for private funcitons. The Borough is encouraging the private use of the facility for private functions, which is one of the original reasons for the center.
Not expecting much from the Trends, we weren't disappointed. Maybe the relevant news will make the paper before it is too late. See ya' Sunday!
There is an entire story about the school's budget presentation on March 28 in this issue of the Trends. Unfortunately, for those interested in getting the entire story, the reporter, who wrote the article, wasn't at the meeting. Discussions of critical importance to the taxpayers of Riverdale were obviously omitted. It is hard to accurately report the news when you aren't where the news is happening. Let's hope that the next issue of the Trends fills in the missing blanks.

Comments about Hal Leonard Black Sabbath Guitar Play-Along Series Volume 15 DVD:
when i bought this DVD i was expecting to learn full songs, but it was a let down,he doesn't teach you barely anything, and he just plays the songs,the only thing it gives you is tabs,and if your like me and cant read tabs don't buy it,and if you can read tabs you would be better off buying a book.

2011 Awards Dinner
The awards dinner is the culmination of the annual Springboard Ideas Challenge. At the dinner, Springboard finalists display their products or business plans in a pre-dinner expo; attendees hear lessons from a successful and inspiring entrepreneur; and the Springboard organizers announce the winners of the competition.
Highlights from the 2011 Awards Dinner included our keynote speaker, Jessica Jackley, co-founder of Kiva, the revolutionary microlending website. Kiva lets users lend as little as $25 to poor entrepreneurs around the world, providing affordable capital for them to start or expand microenterprises. Kiva is one of the fastest-growing social benefit websites in history Since its founding in 2005, it has loaned nearly $200 million from lenders to entrepreneurs across 206 countries. (By 2012, total loans on Kiva to the world's working poor are expected to reach $1 billion.) For all its success, Kiva remains focused on a simple mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty, one person at a time.
Jackley is also founder and CEO of ProFounder, a new platform providing innovative ways for start-ups and small business entrepreneurs in the U.S. to access start-up capital through crowdfunding and community involvement.
Jackley, a finalist for TIME's 100 Most Influential People in 2009 and a recipient of USA Networks' Character Approved award in 2010, first saw the power and dignity of microfinance while working in East Africa with a microenterprise non-profit. Convinced that social change happens across all sectors, Jackley has worked in public, nonprofit, and private organizations including the Stanford Center for Social Innovation, Amazon.com, Potentia Media and many others.
Also an educator, Jackley is currently a visiting practitioner at Stanford University's Center for Philanthropy and Civil Society, has taught Global Entrepreneurship at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, and lectures frequently at other universities around the country. She holds an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science, and serves as an active advisor and board member on several organizations championing women, microfinance, technology, and the arts.

The International Camel Races are now underway in Virginia City. This year about 40 jockeys are expected to hit the course, but everyone will have a chance to experience the thrill of riding a camel. Top finishers will compete on Sunday
Camel Rancher Joe Hedrick has been supplying the stock for the event for about 15 years. He says this year zebra will be performing and participating in the races for the first time ever. The camel races also feature heats between ostrich, emus and chickens. Hedrick says when it comes to racing, riding an ostrich is as tough as it gets. "They're like a giant football," he says "They can roll forward, back, either way, so balance is really important."

Still confused about Active Directory Recovery Agent
To whom it may concern:
Below is a previous thread which I could not participate in because it was closed. I am sure thousands of users are getting this message. If is not needed then why torture end users and admins like myself with this hyperbole. My suggestion is to include within the next patch a code to eliminate this trigger. My customer saw the message, then called us in a panic, we spent time to determine that what was suggested is not necessary in order to have a confident backup. We then spent the remainder of the time explaining to, and calming the customer.
We're running Backup Exec 2010 R2 SP1, recently I've been getting after backup message saying"
The following backup sets contain Microsoft Exchange data. Symantec recommends that you install and use the Active Directory Recovery Agent to better manage your Microsoft Exchange data: \\EXCHSVR.local\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group \\EXCHSVR.local\Microsoft Information Store\Second Storage Group
We already have our Exchange agent license.
Why do we need to buy AD Agent for backing up exchange? Why 2 license for one machine?
Does this means our Exchange backup is not complete?
Can someone please explain.
Just Confuse
Comments 4 Comments • Jump to latest comment
1 No not at all you don't need AD license to backup exchange database files
2 Now AD license help you with doing GRT restore of Active directory in case if you want to restore objects
3 About your exchange backup is incomplete without that ,No it is not it is only the recommendation and not and error
4 Moreover few suggestions ,Please upgrade backup exec to 2010 R3 it would be an in place upgrade for you from R2 and it will be using same licenses as R3 is the final version of BE2010 and stable too. Once upgraded please use live update to install sp2 and other updates and then upgrade remote agent on remote servers too
BE 2010 R3 Installer -http://trialware.norton.com/files/fc/Backup_Exec_2010_13.0.5204_MultiPlatforms_Multilingual_DVD.iso
(Same can be used for SBS)
5,If you are doing backup of C consisting on it OS is installed and system state and shadow copy components then it is enough to recover your server from disaster recovery now to restore application like exchange ,SQL you have separate agent which help you to recover the application further.
Hope that helps
Don't forget to give a "Thumbs Up" or Mark as "Solution" if someones advice has helped you.
The message is a warning/suggestion and your Exchange backup is good. Although you can back up Exchange without ADRA, the warning message is a very good one. If you do not have ADRA, imagine this situation, an employee resigns. His id/mailbox is deleted, but there is a need to retrieve an item from his mailbox.
Without ADRA, you would have to install a very old copy AD to get back his id so that you can restore his mailbox. You would have to do an authoritative restore to a copy of AD which may be months/years old.
With ADRA, you can just restore the employee's id object without disturbing the rest of AD.
Having ADRA would make very good sense when you are using Exchange.
