Chat Topic: BackupDate: Wednesday, July 11, 2007Wendy [MSFT] (Moderator):Welcome to today's chat with the Complete PC Backup and System Restore Team team. We will try to answer as many questions as we can today. Participants should type their questions, select the "Ask the experts" check box, and click "Send." Those posts will go into a private queue, from which our experts will draft answers and repost questions in the upper window with their answers. (To confirm: if you selected the "Ask the experts" check box when you posted, you don't need to resubmit.
At this time, I'll let the experts introduce themselves.tatsuoy_MSFT (Expert):Hi my name is Tatsuo and I'm a user assistance writer for the Windows teamPaul [MSFT] (Expert):I'm a developer on Vista client backup technologies.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Hello, my name is Ivan and I work on the backup featuresbackup team [MS] (Expert):Hi, this is Aparajita & Christine, we work on file backup feature.jeffpatt_MSFT (Expert):Hi! This is Jeff and I'm the Supportability Program Manager for backup technologiesWendy [MSFT] (Moderator):Let's get some questions! We have lots of folks from the product group ready to answer all your questions!Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: How do I restore a hard drive signature so that a Complete PC restore doesn't require me to burn another activation when restoring to a new hard drive?A: The CompletePC Restore puts back the disk signature when repartitioning and reformatting the disks. However the activation engine keys on the actual hardware, so it may decide it needs to re-activate due to significant hardware changes. CompletePC does not induce or circumvent this process.Wendy [MSFT] (Moderator):For those just joining us, today's chat is with the Complete PC Backup and System Restore Team. To post a question, please type your question, select the "Ask the experts" check box, and click "Send." Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: However, after doing the complete restore, I tried to restore all files for all users and only restore points through 7/4 were listed. All the others were ignored and I had to manually extract files from the ZIP images to get back user data.A: Yes, this happens because the backup catalog is also restored when you do the CompletePC restore. Instead of manually opening the zips you could use advanced restore and then select "restore from a backup made on a different computer". Then you can point to the backup location. Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: How do I secure the .vhd created by Complete PC ?A: During backup the vhd files are strongly ACL-ed, so only administrators have access to them. If further protection is needed the best solution is to encrypt the backup target with BitLocker.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: How does Defrag affect Complete PC backup (many sectors change while overall the data on the disk is unchanged)?A: If many files were moved around by Defrag the next incremental CompletePC backup could be bigger. If this is the first backup then there is no affect, the same amount of data will be backed up.Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: I have a problem with Out Look Express. If I receive a graphic from someone and want to forward it on, I cannot do this. When it is received by the recipient, all they receive is a box with a little X in it. Can you tell me how to over come this.A: Sorry, there aren't any Outlook Express experts taking part in this chat. I'd suggest posing your question to a newsgroup devoted to Outlook and/or XP questions. Thanks.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Hi folks, how is automating the back-up process handled? Ideally, I'd like to create a back-up process that requires very little user interaction. Even, having to plugin a HD might severely drop our usage, are there network backup options in Vista?A: The file backup can be scheduled to backup the data to a network share. If the scheduled backup can connect to it, everything should just work, even without an user logged on the machine.backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: Using Complete PC Backup, can I discard old backups, or is the backup always only growing in size as changed sectors are added? (I'm backing up to an external hard disk)A: you can discard the previous backups, but if you have the previous backup and decide to another backup, the backup is incremental. So yes, if you do incremental backup the backup grows in size until it hits 30% of the disk space, for which older backups will then get deleted.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: How do I do Complete PC backups from multiple machines to the same external hard drive ?A: CompletePC supports this. You need to connect the hard disk to every machine that needs to be backed up. When the backup runs it will create a directory with the machine name on the hard disk.Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Hi & thanks for meeting to chat. Is it possible to use a command line argument to backup a specific path or paths, E.g. c:\users\jsmith\*.* as was possible with backup selection lists in NTbackup?A: Sorry there is no way to do this with Vista Backup, however we are considering this feature for future versions.backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: Hi & thanks for meeting to chat. Is it possible to use a command line argument to backup a specific path or paths, E.g. c:\users\jsmith\*.* as was possible with backup selection lists in NTbackup?A: You can select a drive or a network location as your backup target but not a specific path.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Do File Backup and/or Complete PC Backup work/integrate with Windows Home Server, or is Home Server using a completely different system to backup the home PCs?A: Home Server uses a different backup technology, because it has to support Windows XP machines as well. The Vista backup solutions can backup to a share on the home server.jeffpatt_MSFT (Expert):Q: Do you intend to provid an option for an end user to create a recovery partition (similar to what OEM's can create), so I don't have to reboot from CD whenever there is a problem.
A: You can create a recovery partition (WinRE) by performing the steps documented on the following site:
Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Will a scheduled backup wake a machine from a suspended state?A: No the scheduled backup will not wake the machine. In general waking by a scheduled task is possible only on certain type of newer hardware.Wendy [MSFT] (Moderator):For those just joining us, today's chat is with the Complete PC Backup and System Restore Team. To post a question, please type your question, select the "Ask the experts" check box, and click "Send."
backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: How does Complete PC Backup work with BitLocker Encryption? Can I restore a BitLocker system in one step? Is CPC Backup aware of BitLocker partition?A: The CPC backup is aware of bitlocker encryption. When you backup a bitlocker encrypted drive we suggest you back it up on a bitlocker encrypted drive so the data is still secure. you have to go one more step after restoring the bitlocker encrypted drive in that you will have to encrypt the drive again.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Is it possible to create a bootable restore disk that will run unattended?A: It may be possible to create a customized restore disc that scripts the command line tool (wbadmin.exe), but we don't have tool that does all of this together, you will need to combine by hand the different tools.backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: Re: Q[6] - So when 30% of my external HD is reached incremeantal backup will start to discard old states? Can I increment this limit? I'm using the external hd for backup purposes only.A: No, unfortunately you cannot. We've identified this problem and are investigating ways to address this in the future.backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: is there any option to degrade my operating system?A: Can you be more specific? Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: How do I create a restore that is hardware agnostic?A: I am assuming this question is targetted at CompletePC restores, since the file backup is always hardware agnostic.
The backup can be restored only on compatible CPU and same type of firmware (BIOS vs. EFI). Also the IDE controller has to be handled by the same driver. We are working on a future release to support restoring on a different IDE controller.backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: Does Complete PC backup support backup of the complete harddisk image onto an external USB-Storage?A: You can do Complete PC backup to external USB hard drivesjeffpatt_MSFT (Expert):Q: RE the WinRE suggestion... Note I said END USER! Isn't it possible to just make it a simple install option?A: Q: RE the WinRE suggestion... Note I said END USER! Isn't it possible to just make it a simple install option?
A: This option doesn't exist today but we're investigating this feature for future releases.
Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: can you create a system restore that will not be overwritten by future auto restore points?A: Sorry, there is no direct way of doing exactly this. The closest would be to use CompletePC to take a full backup of your system. The difference is then when you restore you restore everything on your computer, including documents, music, pictures, etc.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: When will it be possible to restore to a smaller physical disk, as long as it is big enough to hold the backup up partitition? I've had problems restoring an 80Gb drive to another 80Gb drive from a different manufacturer, due to formatting differencesA: We may consider this in a future release. For Vista the hard disks at restore time need to be at least as big as the corresponding hard disks at backup time. The reason for that is the current automatic assignment algorithm becomes incredibly complicated and undeterministic.Wendy [MSFT] (Moderator):For those just joining us, today's chat is with the Complete PC Backup and System Restore Team. To post a question, please type your question, select the "Ask the experts" check box, and click "Send." Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Asumming that the hardware supports wake from suspend for Media center video recording, will it also wake from suspend to perform a scheduled backup?A: Even with this hardware support we will not wake the machine to perform a backup. This is done because on notebooks we should not wake the machine. There is no way to only wake if on AC and not on battery. Hopefully future hardware will support this.
backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: Does Complete PC Backup has the utility to create bootable CD/DVD and store complete harddisk image backup onto the CD/DVD?A: We support complete PC backup onto a DVD, but currently do not have plans to make that DVD bootable. Most backup would not fit on one DVD, so it is not clear that it would be a benefit to most users.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: I'd like to archive backup sets and image backups. Is it safe to copy the directories with standard tools to offline storage?A: Please make sure you copy the mediaid.bin file from the root of the hard disk as well. Also when copying backup sets please make sure you copy all of the backups inside of it. The restore process may require any of them to be able to get a file from an incremental backup.
If backup is on CD/DVD, then it cannot be restore directly from hard disk/network share location where it was copied. It needs to be put back to separate medias before restored. However if you just copy the CD/DVDs with some CD burning program that should work fine.Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: I want to create a restore partition. I've done so but I need to use a cd to kick it off. Is there software that will allow me to create the partition and run from that partition. F6 and it auto restores to the default image you saved?A: An OEM may provide this functionality. We also make available the Vista AIK (search microsoft.com) that may help you out here.Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: ...folders & pix to the 2nd HD. I am having great difficulty retrieving & restoring the backed up info. Can anyone assist? Thank you.A:
Which tool did you use to backup your files?Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Can CompleteRestore restore to a different drive configuration? The order of IDE,CD,and SCSI devices was different when booting restore from when the backup was made so the restore failed.A: Can you please provide more details about what changed and what was the error? Please include the original question as well, so we can know the additional information is related to it.jeffpatt_MSFT (Expert):Q: I want to create a restore partition. I've done so but I need to use a cd to kick it off. Is there software that will allow me to create the partition and run from that partition. F6 and it auto restores to the default image you saved?A: There is not an automated restore process within WinRE. You need to initiate a restore using Complete PC Restore. Some OEMs may provide this functionality.
backup team [MS] (Expert):Q: I have C & P'ed the B/U file from my 2nd HD to the primary (OS) HD & the restore of B/U'ed files was said to be complete. I am not seeing any of my old B/U stuff.A: Can you clarify what do you mean by "said to be complete"? In general when you move backup from one location to another, you'll need to select "restore files from a backup made on a different compuer" option from the "advanced restore" option.Wendy [MSFT] (Moderator):We will need to wrap up this chat in about 15 minutes. Please post any other questions (select the "Ask the experts" check box) that you would like us to answer. Thanks!Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: The HP Sytem Recovery Tool, as I was directed.A: I think your best bet would be to contact HP, they should know more about the tool.Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: I have a file named backup001.exe on the 2nd HD ~ which is 3.43 GB. HP refuses to assist...stating that I must pay for the service!A: We really wish we could help but the tool is made by HP, not Microsoft. The experts here have not used that tool and can't provide guidance. Are there public HP forums (on the HP website) where you could ask other users? Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: You guys need to make it easy accessing individual files within the vhd backup. Vhmount doesn't work as well as it could.A: Feedback taken. This is a common request. I can't give any details on future plans for this.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: RE: [Q]29 Running system had C mapped to bootable IDE, D to a CD, E to a RAID controller, F to an external USB drive. On CD boot, D was the USB drive, E was the CD. The RAID showed up as F since I had to load the drivers.A: The drive letter do change when booted in WinRE, however we do not look at drive letters at all. We use characteristics of the hard disks to match them between backup and restore time. You may need to check that the disk selected as active in the BIOS is still the same. If that doesn't work please try to remove the USB disk before boot and reconnect it once WinRE booted. As another piece of information, can you please tell me how did you boot into WinRE?Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Q: CompletePC backup takes about an hour for 80Gb drive to USB. It seems to hang up frequently about half to 2/3 through. Sometimes the rest of the system is usable, sometimes not. Event log shows volsnap errors. Are these known issues?A: We would need to know more about the volsnap errors you are seeing. I sent you a private request with contact info. Wendy [MSFT] (Moderator):We will need to wrap up this chat in about 5 minutes. Please post any other questions (select the "Ask the experts" check box) that you would like us to answer.

Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: Can you name some reasons why I should use File Backup in addition to Complete PC Backup? Wouldn't it be enough to run incremetal backups using Complete PC frequently?A: The idea is to use CompletePC every now and then to make sure if something goes really wrong with the machine and/or the OS you can restore it back to working state. However the restore is a big hammer, which puts back the contents of the whole volume. This is why one can use the file backup scheduled daily or weekly to backup only the important categories of data on the machine. Thus if you find that a picture went wrong after unsuccessful red eye removal you can restore only it from the most recent backup. Or you can even use Previous Versions for even faster recovery :-)Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: You guys know that CompletePC Backup should have been included with Home Premium... it's a shame it was not. I hope this might change.A: We are the product development team and can answer only technical questions :-). The decision about presence/absence of some features on a different versions are unfortunately outside of our control.Paul [MSFT] (Expert):Thanks for attending the chat today! See you in the newsgroups :-)Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):Q: When is the EFS issue going to be resloved?A: We are considering fixing this in a future release.Ivan [MSFT] (Expert):We are runnign out of time. Thanks for the great chat and see you next time. Read our blog :-).
I just published our transcripts from the Backup and Offline Files chats. To view them, click one of
I have the same problem... I have a DELL XPS 420 with a Maxtor 250GB ext hard drive... I did a 'Complete PC Backup' to B: drive (The ext Maxtor)
Next, I rebooted and used the system repair from the boot menu... this formated my hard drive and set everything back to the DELL factory defaults... re-installing Windows Vista Ultimate, Office 2K7, and all the other DELL junk...
Now, I'd like to restore the computer to before the DELL repair... the files are all still on the B: drive, I can see them there...
However, when I go to 'Restore files' -> 'Advanced restore' -> 'Warning - Continue' -> only the 'Files from a backup made on a different computer.' is enabled and already has a tick in the radio button -> 'Next' -> 'Looking for backup devices...' -> I select B: drive -> and it tells me "Windows cannot find any backup sets on the selected device"When I reboot my computer and start it with it's cd, I select system repart, complete PC restore, at this point I can click load drivers and navigate to my ext HD to see the backup sets, when I click cancel to get out that and click next it tells me that it cannot find any backup sets. It tells me to connect
the device or insert the media that contain the backup sets. The drive is already connected. Why can't it find the backup sets???
Hi Daniel,
The Complete PC backup is an image of your entire machine. It is meant for disaster recovery purposes in case your computer
runs into problem, and is not intended for restoring individual files. To protect personal files, you can choose the "back up files" option instead, which would give you option to protect certain categories of files. You can then use the "restore files" option to restore them.
However, with that said, since the Complete PC backup is stored as a vhd format, it's possible to mount it as a volume to extract the files you need by installing the vhdmount tool from Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1. You can look here for more details:
The blog post was written during beta period of virtual server 2005 R2 SP1. You can go to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb738033.aspx to obtain the released version.

The team monitors Backup questions there.

Master of Arts in Community Psychology and Social Change
The graduate program in Community Psychology and Social Change emphasizes planned social change and is based on both sociology and psychology. The program equips students with skills useful in coping with the multifaceted problems facing communities. Students learn to assess problems at the level of communities or organizations, to plan and implement possible solutions to these problems, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions. Learning takes place both in courses and in a master's project that entails fi eldwork and the writing of a master's paper.
To act as a change agent, the student must be aware of contemporary community needs, along with the impact of the community structures upon its individual members and the techniques best suited to initiate productive changes. After completing this interdisciplinary program, the graduate should be able to approach problems with a more integrated point of view and work cooperatively with community individuals and agencies toward practical solutions. Problems related to crime, education, child and family development, employment, the lack of effective social power, and other factors affecting psychological well-being are approached from bases in community service agencies or informal community groups. The majority of students work full-time in agencies or governmental units. To accommodate working students, 500 level graduate courses are scheduled in the evening.
Degree Conferred: M.A.

Last weekend I was out in Phoenix spending some time with Alan and the natural beauty of the Southwest. I spoke at the community launch event in downtown on the Thursday before and then did a guest appearance on the .NET Rocks road trip on Friday so we figured we'd stay the weekend.
The launch event was a lot of fun, I had the privilege of speaking about the SharePoint developer tools in Visual Studio 2010 that the team I'm on built. (I've been interviewing team members about them on Channel 9 so check them out if you haven't already.) There were about 20 SharePoint developers there out of probably 100 attendees and they were so excited to see these tools baked into the VS box. Package & feature designers and deployment, Visual Web Parts and LINQ to SharePoint got some cheers and nods from everyone so that was fun. Yes, all but one of my demos were in Visual Basic (my comfort zone) and a couple people came up afterwards and thanked me for it so that was really nice. The rest of the event was great too, Developer Evangelists Sara Ford, Bruno Terkaly and Daniel Egan were there as well as MVP Scott Cate talking about all things Visual Studio 2010.
On Saturday, Sara and I decided to tackle Camelback mountain – a super-popular hiking spot right in Phoenix. We took the Echo Canyon Trail which is 1.2 miles up to the peak at 1,280 feet. The short distance and elevation gain is very similar to the kind of hikes I do here in the East Bay Area, so I wasn't worried about that. What was challenging was the terrain – covered with huge rocks that you had to climb all the way up. I'm glad I brought my full-fingered gloves. The other challenge was all the people! Wow, I am not used to that many people on a trail, even in Yosemite. But, dodging all the other hikers, I made it up in an hour and back down in 30 minutes so I think I'm in pretty decent shape.
I always pack a first-aid kit, survival kit, knife, and a frisbee. Yes a blue frisbee that has VB in big white letters. You never know when you're going to need a VB frisbee. ;-) So once we got to the summit I found a good overhang rock and Sara took some photos of me holding it over Phoenix. Yes, VB rules over Phoenix… literally ;-)
Alan and I plan on taking a driving trip through the Southwest very soon. I love it down here and I'd love to try and tackle some more awesome hikes. If you live in the area, let me know what your favorites are and I'll add them to my list.
Thanks Phoenix, see you next time!
I'm glad you enjoyed one of our local hikes, that's one of my favorites too! An hour and a half is a pretty respectable time on that difficult trail.
Thanks Dan, I enjoyed it so much my quads kept reminding me about it the next day ;-)
Me and my boy hike that. If you had CSI-like zoom and enhance capability, you'd see the DotNetRocks RoadTrip RV picking me up at my house. :)
@Hafthor LOL! Hope you enjoyed the trip as much as I enjoyed the interview.

Impact of percutaneous coronary intervention on biomarker levels in patients in the subacute phase following myocardial infarction: the Occluded Artery Trial (OAT) biomarker ancillary study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders 2013, 13:91 doi:10.1186/1471-2261-13-91Published: 24 October 2013
The purpose of the Occluded Artery Trial (OAT) Biomarker substudy was to evaluate the impact of infarct related artery (IRA) revascularization on serial levels of N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and dynamics of other biomarkers related to left ventricular remodeling, fibrosis and angiogenesis.
Patients were eligible for OAT-Biomarker based on the main OAT criteria. Of 70 patients (age 60.8 ± 8.8, 25% women) enrolled in the substudy, 37 were randomized to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and 33 to optimal medical therapy alone. Baseline serum samples were obtained prior to OAT randomization with follow up samples taken at one year. The primary outcome was percent change of NT-proBNP from baseline to 1 year. The secondary outcomes were respective changes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 2 and 9, tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (TIMP-2), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and Galectin-3.
Paired (baseline and one-year) serum samples were obtained in 62 subjects. Baseline median NT-proBNP level was 944.8 (455.3, 1533) ng/L and decreased by 69% during follow-up (p < 0.0001). Baseline MMP-2 and TIMP-2 levels increased significantly from baseline to follow-up (p = 0.034, and p = 0.027 respectively), while MMP-9 level decreased from baseline (p = 0.038). Levels of VEGF and Galectin-3 remained stable at one year (p = NS for both). No impact of IRA revascularization on any biomarker dynamics were noted.
There were significant changes in measured biomarkers related to LV remodeling, stress, and fibrosis following MI between 0 and 12 month. Establishing infarct vessel patency utilizing stenting 24 hours-28 days post MI did not however influence the biomarkers' release.

Joe Jonas splits from girlfriend
Singer Joe Jonas has amicably split from Blanda Eggenschwiler after 20 months of dating.
The 24-year-old hopes to "remain friends" with the 30-year-old graphic designer and model after they "mutually decided" to end their romance, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
"Joe and Blanda have mutually decided to part ways. The split was amicable and the two remain friends, with great respect for one another," said a spokesperson for the singer.
"It was mutual. They both wanted to do new things. Joe wants to be single right now and they thought it was better if they are just friends," a source added.
Jonas, who previously dated Demi Lovato, Taylor Swift and Ashley Greene, started dating the Swiss-born beauty in November 2012 after being introduced by a mutual friend.

STAR-CROSSED ENCOUNTERS DEPT.: Slouching into a swanky eatery in WeHo (which is what hip folk call West Hollywood), a pale, weary-looking HUGH GRANT parked it at the bar and ordered not one, but TWO, Red Bulls – explaining he was so jet-lagged and exhausted, he feared he might actually doze off in front of the dinner guests who'd be joining him shortly!
Said My SpyWitness: "Just as Hugh knocked back his second Red Bull, a woman – very noticeably sloshed – suddenly sidled up to our star and slurred, 'I'm a HUGE fan, Hugh! I simply must have a picture with you.'
"She brandished her cell phone, but Hugh instantly held up his hand, protesting, 'NO pictures tonight, I'm too tired!'"
Looking crushed and woebegone, Tipsy Lady started backing away, but…
her tootsies suddenly tangled and she crashed to the floor!
Gallant Grant immediately leaped to help her up – and staffers none-too-gently bum-rushed her out the door!

Log message: Update to 877 Changelog: 877 2011-09-05 Fixed no_regex to only match 'no' or 'none' and not, for example, 'note'. Added the ability to specify RGB colors for the gui outline and html window fonts. When displaying output in the html window, do not change the outline panel display. Fixed bug in parsing alerts in which a single alert would be treated as a list, e.g. '@a 12' would give the list (1, 2). Skip 'showDay' when displaying html output. 876 2011-09-02 Provide a leading '+' for action @e entries that do not have one. 875 2011-09-02 When using '-gF' in outline view, prefix item titles with the leader, i.e., the character(s) from ['~', '*', '!', '-', '+'] that begin the item entry. 874 2011-09-02 Fixed missing color key 14 (details color) in the GUI. 873 2011-09-02 Fixed sorting and display with '-g F' to sort by file path and then line number. 872 2011-08-31 Fixed bug in expanding children. Changed role of 'monthly' variables such as etmActions. If an empty string is given then monthly files will not be created and, e.g., 'actns.text' in the etmdata directory will be used as the default. If not an empty string, then in August 2011, e.g., 'etmActions/2011/08/actns.text' would be created, if necessary, and used as the default. (Note the addition of the month directory.) The same directory can be specified for etmActions, etmEvents, etmNotes and etmTasks, e.g., 'monthy' in the etmdata directory and, if this is done, then 'actns.text', 'evnts.text', 'notes.text' and 'tasks.text' for August would all be placed in the directory '../etmdata/2011/08/'. Introduced new variables, 'minutes_msg', 'oneminute_msg' and 'rightnow_msg' with defaults 'begins %s minutes from now', 'begins one minute from now' and 'begins now'. The '%s' can be placed anywhere in the expression for 'minutes_msg' and will be replaced by the number of minutes. Added ability (experimental) to use foreign language characters in the etmrc settings. 871 2011-08-29 Fixed codecs error under Windows. Fixed html printing under Windows and Linux. Allow parsing option strings with embedded minus signs such as searches for hyphenated words. Added term_print for terminal output using term_encoding. Added < 2.0.0 to the setup requirement for dateutils to avoid the Windows "_thread" problem. 870 2011-08-26 MS Windows fix. Changed locale to support the 3-manth calendar in the CLI and the 12-month calendar in the GUI. 869 2011-08-25 Only load data in e.py when necessary and not, for example, when doing a version check or displaying a three month calendar. 868 2011-08-25 Windows fixes for missing color attributes and bug in scrolling. 867 2011-08-25 When selecting a date in the monthly calendar scroll to the top of the outline display. Save and restore outline expansion state after making changes. 866 2011-08-24 In the interactive CLI, added edit, create, delete, finish, unfinish and move using 'item numbers' from the interactive display. Added 'jump to date' (fuzzy parsed or relative) to both the CLI and the GUI. Added a three month calendar display to the CLI. In in the GUI change the monthy calendar to reflect a change in the 'begin_date'. Fixed various bugs in parsing options, particularly for busy view. 865 2011-08-19 Removed unneeded fieldNames and fixed code for details to allow the inclusion of any regular field. Reset totalsfirst to False when restoring defaults by pressing "space". Added CenterOnScreen to gui init. 864 2011-08-18 Cleaned up currentPage and char2PageMode. Removed spurious 'py_modules=['ez_setup'] from setup.py and setup_app.py. 863 2011-08-15 Added abbreviationsFile to etmrc and abbreviation expansion to entry processing. 862 2011-08-15 For dated items without occurances within the beg_year, end_year interval, add the last of the occurances before the interval and the first of the occurances after the interval so that these items will be available, e.g, for search and for grouping by file path. 861 2011-08-14 Cleaned up and simplified templates, hotkey shortcuts and histories. Ctrl-Tab and Space-Tab are now bound to the same "smart" completion routine which looks first for entries such as "@c" or "-g" \ and, if found, indentifies possible completions. If no such match is possible, then completions are sought for entries that begin with "o", "b", "~", "*", "-", \ "+" or "!". Entries from contexts.txt, keywords.txt, locations.txt and timezones are available as are current file entries if the "addFile" switches are True. Current session entries for "o" and "b" are also available. 860 2011-08-13 Added F (filepath) to grouby options. Modified afterChange to restore view using current options. 859 2011-08-09 Remove item count from group header unless greater than 1. 858 2011-08-08 Added busyfontsize setting to etmRC - Windows needs a smaller font size than the one used before.

Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw share the most nominations - seven - for this year's Academy of Country Music awards. The nominations were announced Wednesday morning.
Lambert will compete with husband Blake Shelton for the entertainer of the year award. Also up for the ACM's top honor: reigning champ Luke Bryan, George Strait and Taylor Swift.
Three of McGraw's nominations came for Highway Don't Care. That chart-topping collaboration with Keith Urban and Taylor Swift earned nods for single record, music video and vocal event.
Urban received six nominations, two coming in the vocal event category. In addition to Highway Don't Care, his We Were Us duet with Lambert also got nominated.
Kacey Musgraves, up for five awards, is nominated twice in the song-of-the-year category, for Lambert's Mama's Broken Heart, as well as her own Merry Go 'Round.
Strait, who is the current entertainer of the year for the Country Music Association, has won the ACM's version of the award once before, in 1989, though he has been nominated. The Country Music Hall of Famer is currently on his farewell tour.
Rock icon Bob Dylan received his first ACM nomination, as a co-writer of top-song contender Wagon Wheel, while rapper Nelly picked up a nomination for his Cruise remix with Florida Georgia Line.
Bryan and Shelton will co-host the April 6 awards show for a second year. In addition to the entertainer-of-the-year nominations, they're both up for top album and male vocalist.
This year's ACM Awards will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (CBS, April 6, 8 p.m. ET/delayed PT).

Low-income Maryland trans* residents may for the first time get health insurance coverage for transition-related services, after the state moved forward with new regulations expanding health-care services covered by Medicaid.
With would-be politicians concentrating their efforts on expensive Spanish-language advertising, lukewarm get-out-the-vote efforts, or voter suppression laws, neither party actually did any impactful outreach to overcome the very deep disillusionment Latinos feel.
North Carolina's alarming infant mortality rate is a direct result of uninsured women not having access to quality health care. So why aren't more advocates of Medicaid expansion talking about it?
Some 90,000 women in Pennsylvania could lose family planning health-care coverage next year if the state government does not continue its unqiue Medicaid program.
While Congressional Republicans continue to call for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, a growing number of Republican state governors have begun to qualify that position. Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Monday added himself to that list, telling the Associated Press that repealing Medicaid expansion under the ACA is "not gonna happen."
The majority of Georgia residents want the state to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and disagree with conservative state lawmakers' decision to reject it, according to a new public opinion survey.
Amid reports of possible corruption and complaints of long waits for benefits have come calls for an investigation into the Medicaid privatization program championed by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R).
Recent findings directly contradict the charge often made by anti-choice politicians that pushing through abortion restrictions is based on an overarching desire to protect the health and safety of women.
Having health insurance is not enough to ensure reliable access to care, despite the flood of new Medicaid enrollees under the Affordable Care Act.
As we acknowledge the passage of Hyde 38 years ago this month, it is important to look at how the amendment helped to usher in a wave of anti-choice legislation that has the most detrimental impacts on poor communities of color—especially in states like Mississippi.

Although Risperidone Is Now Available In Generics, There Is No Clear Evidence of Expanded Uptake in Early Lines of Therapy, According to a New Report from Decision Resources
Patient-Flow Forecasts Need to Take Into Account Shifts in Seroquel XR's Use by Line of Therapy Over the Next Two Years
WALTHAM, Mass., June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Decision Resources, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms focusing on pharmaceutical and healthcare issues, finds that AstraZeneca Seroquel's first-line patient share grew two percent since last year's patient-level claims data analysis of prescribing trends in bipolar disorder. During this same time period other atypicals (with the exception of Pfizer's Geodon) lost first-line patient share which suggests that Seroquel's better penetration of first-line therapy came at the expense of others in the atypical class such as Bristol-Myers Squibb/Otsuka's Abilify and Eli Lilly's Zyprexa.
Although surveyed psychiatrists rate the overall attributes of Abilify higher than Seroquel/Seroquel XR, surveyed primary care physicians' assessment of these two agents is the opposite. Despite the advantage that surveyed psychiatrists give to Abilify over Seroquel on side-effect and safety attributes, Abilify's patient share is second to that of Seroquel in both first- and second-line therapy.
The new report entitled Treatment Algorithms in Bipolar Disorder also finds that although risperidone is now available in generics there is no clear evidence of its expanded uptake in early lines of therapy. Approximately 15 percent of surveyed physicians do not prescribe generic risperidone first-line and only one-third of surveyed physicians estimate that they prescribe generic risperidone first-line to more than half of their bipolar patients.
By pairing patient-level claims data with primary survey data, this report can be used to build pati

Operating Results
2012 electricity sales of $1,936,444 decreased $153,781 or 7.4% from 2011 sales of $2,090,225 as a direct result of a decrease in electricity generated from 35,281 MWh to 32,314 MWh. Electricity production was down due to hydrology conditions and reduced output from one of the generating units at the plant, which is scheduled for replacement in Q2 2013.
The Corporation recorded a loss for 2012 of $2,301,191 compared to a loss of $2,717,177 for 2011. The decrease in the net loss, despite a reduction in revenue from the Brandywine facility, is due primarily to a reduction in G&A expense during the year. The Company also recognized the portion earned of the development fee received for the construction of the Skookum Project.
Funds used in operations were $179,921 in 2012 compared to $280,193 for 2011. This improvement of $100,272 was due principally to reduced Corporate G&A and receipt of a development fee for the Skookum Project.
Financial Position
At December 31, 2012 , the Company had $2.5 million in cash on hand. These cash resources will be used to carry out further development of the Company's development prospects.
The Company will need to raise capital to support its administrative obligations, pursue development of its other early stage projects as well as for the redemption of the 10% convertible debentures should they not be converted into shares of the Corporation and for the redemption of the secured subordinated debentures which come due in July 2013 .
Well, overall things are looking fine. The big question is about the raise of capital. They don't say how much, and in what way. I guess that we will learn soon. Real Gamachi was buing recently, and it's my assumption is that he wouldn't buy if he could buy it much cheaper+ options. My guess is that they will price the next Private Placement around 7-8 cents. As I said, as an investor I feel more than okay with the news.

Return Of The Queen
Jenny Boulden
Arkansas' second highest state park lodge reopens post-makeover
Oh, the difference $9.6 million makes. Turns out, even a queen needs a makeover every 40 years or so.
If you ever visited the lodge at Queen Wilhelmina State Park on Rich Mountain before it closed for renovations in early 2012, you probably remember the stunning panoramic view over the Ouachitas. You might also remember the lodge's mid-70s facilities and furnishings.

This encyclopedia can make anyone feel like a scientist! Not only does it have fascinating facts on everything from atoms to zephyrs, it also shows how scientists work--describing, measuring, and asking questions about the world. Filled with detailed, sharp illustrations and eye-catching photographs, this book could keep a curious kid (or adult!) occupied for weeks. The one- and two-page entries are thematically organized--much more useful than alphabetical entries for making connections and thinking about whole systems. Some of the best categories are "Reactions," "Materials," "Weather," "Space," and "How Living Things Work." But every entry has accurate, well-written text cross-indexed to related pages and to the "Fact Finder" section in the back, with charts, tables, and maps to use with each section. A glossary and index round out this thorough package. You may grow so attached to this fantastic encyclopedia that you never want to leave it behind.... For portability, we recommend the pocket version, which weighs less, but is jam-packed with great science. And for budding biologists who can't get enough of the "Living Things" section in the Science Encyclopedia, the The DK Nature Encyclopedia is sure to please. (Ages 9 to 12) --Therese Littleton
