Dr. Noelle Grace is retiring after more than thirty years as a paediatric surgeon at North York General Hospital. She has been a pioneer for women in Canadian medicine: after obtaining her medical degree from the University of Western Ontario and training at McGill University, she became the first female paediatric surgeon in our country's history.
As a surgeon working primarily with young children and their families, Dr. Grace set herself apart by demonstrating compassionate, child-centered care. She empathizes with her patients and their families, physically embracing children who need comfort, and making herself available outside of working hours to ensure that a child recovers from surgery.
Dr. Grace has been a mentor to her fellow surgeons, and a role model to all of her colleagues at NYGH for her incredible dedication to her work and passion for her patients. Dr. Stan Feinberg, Chief of Surgery, calls Dr. Grace "one of a kind" and praises her commitment to the long-term impact of her work. "Whenever Noelle talked to me about career planning, she always indicated that she didn't want to step down until she felt that the future of paediatric surgery was secure at NYGH," Dr. Feinberg says.
In recognition of Dr. Grace's contribution to her field, Dr. Feinberg believes that there is no greater gift than to create a long-term plan to enhance and strengthen the delivery of paediatric surgery at North York General. We are proud to announce that the Foundation has established the Dr. Noelle Grace Tribute Fund to support paediatric care. "This ensures that health professionals and patients will continue to associate the name of Noelle Grace with a commitment to excellent health care delivery to children and their families," says Dr. Feinberg.
We are also thrilled to announce that we have already received two lead donations of $250,000 each in support of the Dr. Noelle Grace Tribute Fund, making this one of our Foundation's largest donor funds.
Please consider supporting paediatric care in recognition of Dr. Grace by making a donation to the Tribute Fund.

PSHE lesson plan: indentity
Main Subject: Lesson Plans
Subject: PSHE
Author: Molly Potter
Explore the individuality of your pupils with Molly Potter's suggestions for expanding PSHE across the curriculum...
Most of us like to be asked questions and given the opportunity to share information about ourselves – when another person takes an interest in us, it can make us feel great! This is just as true, of course, for children.
Exploring your pupils' individuality need not be confined solely to the start of a new academic year – as part of the process of getting to know your new class. Celebrating the fact that we are all different – at any time – can:
• help develop children's sense of personal identity
• boost self-esteem and raise self-awareness
• help children to be excited and interested by personal differences (rather than wary or fearful)
• help pupils consider, and challenge, their own and others' viewpoints, and learn to disagree respectfully
• help prevent pupils from doing something just 'because everyone else is' – enthusing about individual differences can give the message that it would be a very dull world if we all liked the same things, made the same choices, thought the same thoughts and held the same opinions!
The following tried and tested activities give pupils an opportunity to share something about themselves. They can obviously sit within the PSHE area of the curriculum; however, many can be expanded into other areas – most obviously literacy but also numeracy, humanities and ICT.
1. How well do we know you?
Give pupils some entertaining questions with multiple choice answers. For example,
• Which of the following lessons would you most like to have next?
Maths; Technology; Art; Literacy; Music; PE.
• Which of the following would you most like to do?
Fly in a helicopter; Swim with dolphins; Go white-water rafting; Do a bungee jump.
• Which of the following super powers would you most like? The ability to:
Fly; Become invisible; Grant other people wishes; Time travel.
Ask pupils to secretly indicate on paper their single preference to each question, and then ask them to pair up with someone and spend time seeing if they can guess each other's answers. Pupils can move on to several different partners and start over. With younger children, pictures can be used to give the choices. Alternatively, you can ask the whole class to guess different individuals' choices.
2. Quality auction
Give pupils 100 units of pretend currency. They will need a piece of scrap paper to keep track of their own banking. You might like to give the currency a name, e.g. Perso. Tell pupils that they have a 'blank canvas friend' who currently has no personality. Have a selection of qualities written on separate cards and put them up for auction one at a time. Check for understanding and then ask pupils to bid against each other for each quality to give to their blank friend. This activity highlights how we all value different qualities in others. It's a good idea to get pupils to make a note of any qualities they bid for because even if they're unsuccessful in the bidding, it illustrates the qualities they value. Because they don't know what might come up next (which keeps it interesting), pupils sometimes need encouragement to start bidding.
Example qualities:
trendy, optimistic, chatty, generous,
imaginative, helps you with your work, listens
to you, organised, sporty, funny, etc.
3. A manual for me
Pupils write and illustrate a manual with instructions for keeping themselves happy and working hard at school including their needs, likes and dislikes. This manual can include,
• My perfect lesson – what helps me learn
• Barriers to and distractions from learning
• Subjects I dislike and what might need to happen for me to start liking them
• My ideal break and lunchtime
• Other things I need to keep me happy at school
4. A class magazine
This activity is good for the start of the academic year and results in a magazine that the pupils will spend the rest of the year reading. Issue each pupil with a sheet of A3 paper and the instruction that they will fill up both sides of this sheet with information about themselves so that there is barely any white paper left! Ask pupils to start with a cartoon drawing of themselves with their name in decorated bubble writing across the page. Then discuss and share ideas about the kind of information they can put upon their pages and how it could be presented. For example,
• Compliments they have been given – written in speech bubbles
• Flow charts that show their morning routine
• A timeline of life events so far
• A picture of five things they could not be without
• A list of adjectives and a mark out of 10 for how much that adjective describes them, e.g. hardworking 9/10, tidy 8/10, clumsy 0/10
• A plan (possibly drawn using a computer paint programme and stuck onto the page) of their bedroom/house/garden/route to school with special features labelled
• A picture of their favourite outfit
• Descriptions of the people they live with or complete given sentence starts about them, e.g. the best thing about X is…
• A list of things they think they're good at and things they would like to be good at
• Lists of favourites and least favourites
• An article about any hobbies, special interests or strong opinions held
• Illustrations of specific memories, e.g. first day at school, an exciting memory, a day that made me proud, etc.
• A factfile, including name, height, birth date, star sign, left-/right-handed, eye colour, etc.
Once all pupils' pages are complete, bind them to make a class magazine.
5. An ideal timeline
Ask pupils to create a life timeline that goes from age zero to 100. Ask pupils to place some of the following actions onto the timeline at the age at which they perceive each action would be ideal for their own life or leave the action off if they don't think they will do it at all:
• Start to have children
• Learn to drive
• Be fit and healthy until
• Leave school
• Move away from home
• Have grandchildren
• Find a partner that they'll spend the rest of their life with
• Get your first full-time job
• Die (only use this if you feel skilled enough to handle this sensitively)
Pupils can then compare and discuss each other's timelines, take part in a whole class discussion about the pros and cons of doing different activities at different ages, illustrate their timelines with pictures of themselves portrayed in the future, collect data from the whole class to represent in graph form, write a letter to themselves in the future, etc.

Breadcrumbs have been a staple of Italian cucina povera forcenturies. Originally, families that couldn't afford a hunk of gratingcheese used whatever small, stale bits of bread they had to add acrunchy, textural element and an earthy flavor to dishes. Today,breadcrumbs are an indispensable part of our kitchen arsenal--we usethem to garnish several of the recipes from that Pasta Manifesto we mentioned earlier today--and a cinch to make at home with leftover bread.
Make them:
To get two cups'worth of crumbs, tear four stale or lightly toasted slices of whitebread into small pieces. Process until coarse crumbs form. You can usethese fresh crumbs for making meatballs, topping oysters destined forthe broiler, or adding a crisp layer to cassoulet. To make toastedbreadcrumbs, spread the fresh crumbs in an even layer on a large rimmedbaking sheet. Bake in a 350 degree oven, stirring occasionally, until brownedand dry, then transfer hot breadcrumbs to a large bowl. Drizzle with 1Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, season, and toss to coat. Stored in anairtight container, they'll keep for 1 month.
Customize them:
Add lemon zest, chopped fresh herbs, crushed red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan, or minced garlic.
Use them:
Sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs on pastas, sautéed greens, and soups. Grind them fine and dredge everything from fried arancini to crab cakes. Toss them with gremolata as a garnish for fish. Pair with herbs to make a great stuffing for game birds and artichokes.

The Brazil international has admitted that if he had pursued his interest in music he would not have enjoyed quite the same success.
The Barcelona forward is widely regarded as one of the most talented players in world football, which is just as well, according to the 22-year-old Brazilian, because he feels he never would have earned fortune and fame if he had pursued a career in the other great love of his life.

That has not stopped him from trying, though, as this video posted on Instagram by Neymar's friend MC Nego Borel demonstrates.

UsedzBookCompany Ratings & Buyer Feedback
When we ordered this book there was no indication as to how long it would take to receive it. We assumed it would be received within 2 wks., as we have experienced with previous orders through a number of sellers for the past 6 years. My son needed the book for a class that started on Jan. 14; they provide online access to the required materials for the 1st 2 wks. of class to ensure the student can get his book. That period ended and i checked to see what the status was, and all the page said was "shipped", and a notation that we couldn't report the book as "lost" for another week. There was no tracking number, just a delivery confirmation number. Expecting it to arrive anytime, we waited until Weds. Jan. 30, the last day before we could complain, and it still hadn't arrived. My son tried to muddle his way through the 3rd week's assignments without a book, but it was impossible. We had to then buy a book from the college bookstore and a cost of nearly $210.00, compared to the $83.94 we had paid for the missing book so that he could complete his assignments. The book finally arrived on Thurs., Feb. 6, 8 days after the "claim lost" date. Not only was it terribly late in arriving, it had been sent via USPS in a large brown paper envelope, which had several rips on the sides which easily could have enlarged enough for the book to fall out of. It's a miracle it didn't. We sell things on eBay sometimes, and ALWAYS package items securely and appropriately for shipment. I sent you 2 emails regarding this, with NO response, and sent one to the seller, again with NO response. We are extremely unhappy with this purchase experience, and have contacted our state Attorney General's office regarding the situation. Since then the book arrived and we are currently waiting to hear from them as to what we should do. If CulbertsonMediaGroup will credit our account (the VISA used to make the purchase) with the purchase price and shipping (total of $83.94) AND provide us with a return mailing label, we will drop the complaint with the Attorney General. I feel that is a fair resolution, after all, we did have to pay more than twice as much for the book. Please respond to this ASAP. Our complaint is not with ValoreBooks; I have ordered through you previously with no problems. But the seller's business habits are not very professional, and I will not purchase from them again, nor will I recommend them to anyone. Thank you for your assistance. Diana Maier 317-788-0285
Book was listed as new which it obviously is not. Order was placed on January 12th, shipping label was not even printed until February 1st. Book was shipped in a plain envelope with no protection.
I realize I bought a discounted book, BUT I also requested a new edition and when I received it, it was written in and pages had been dogearred.
Seller was quick to answer my questions and book was sent and received in the condition the seller said it was in. Very happy to get this new book with CD at such a great price!!

Strange keyboard behavior - funny characters on the console
Ok, so I admit it's all my fault ... but can you help?
It seemed that my session had locked up. In frustration I pretty much banged across the keys with the control key down :tisk:. It came back to life but ....
the lower case keys now have strange representations (what some might call extended ASCII / PC-8 type characters), so f is a small circle, g is the + on top of a - symbol.
I've tried things like stty sane, loadkeys -d, loadfont, bash -l all to no avail.
Any thoughts as to what I have done - and how to undo it?
The solution to this is easy enough, reinitialize the terminal with reset:
Well, that was easy. I'll try and file that command away for future reference.

ASHBY CEMETERY, (Mimosa Rd.) TENNESSEE
This map shows the GPS coordinates of the Ashby Cemetery as N 35.235901 X W -86.52125. This map also shows the field road to the cemetery which comes from Mimosa Rd on our right. This road also serves as a field road for the farming operation and has a gate to be kept closed at all times because there are cattle present.
Location: From Fayetteville go north on Hwy 231 to Clarks Mill Rd and turn right and that dead ends into Mimosa Rd. Take Mimosa Rd (left) north and just before it bends back westward (left) there is a field road on your left to the cemetery. With permission go into the road and into the gate and up the hill and the cemetery is on the right behind a fence.

6 Ways to Build Better Bone Health And Prevent Osteoporosis, Naturally
Many people take calcium and magnesium to prevent osteoporosis, but those two nutrients alone aren't enough to achieve optimal bone health and reduce your risk. What causes osteoporosis and bone loss isn't just a calcium deficiency, so your osteoporosis prevention plan should also take into consideration the following recommendations:
Balance Your Hormones to Prevent Osteoporosis
The decline in your sex hormones–estrogen, progesterone and testosterone–with age accelerates bone loss and can cause osteoporosis. Here's why: There are two important cell types in bone tissue, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts produce new bone tissue while osteoclasts remove existing bone tissue. Without enough estrogen, osteoclast activity speeds up, and bones lose their density. Whereas, progesterone and testosterone has been shown to stimulate osteoblast activity and potentially aid new bone growth. Consider bio-identical hormone replacement if any, or all three, are low. Look for an anti-aging doctor or a naturopathic doctor that specializes in hormone balancing.
Natural Antidepressants Can Lower Your Risk
One major downside of antidepressants is that they are linked to osteoporosis. Two new studies suggest older men and women taking SSRIs, a class of antidepressants that includes Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, are prone to increased bone loss. Plenty of sunlight; a healthy diet rich in protein, minerals and vitamins; regular exercise and good sleep support serotonin production. You can also consider natural alternatives like high dose fish oil (1tbsp twice daily with food), vitamin D (4,000 – 5,000iu daily) and 5HTP (150mg capsules at bedtime and 75mg at breakfast).
Go Green To Get Better Bones
Research has shown that the incidence of osteoporosis is lower in the Mediterranean areas compared to other European countries. Part of this reason may lie in the traditional Mediterranean diet which is rich in fruits, vegetables, and olive oil. One study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM), revealed that consumption of a Mediterranean diet enriched with olive oil (compared to a low fat diet) for two years is associated with increased serum osteocalcin concentrations, suggesting a protective effect on bone. All the more reason to include a tablespoon of olive oil in your meals twice daily.
Add Strength Training For Stronger Bones
Bone density has a lot to do with what you do–or do not do–in the gym. Bone is a tissue that is always changing due to hormonal changes and physical activity, or lack thereof. Regular strength training helps to deposit more minerals in the bones, especially those in the legs, hips and spine. The opposite is also true – lack of regular exercise will accelerate bone loss. A study to be published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (JCEM) suggests that physical activity for premenopausal women is very effective in reducing sclerostin–a known inhibitor of bone formation. The study found that women who had more than two hours of physical activity per week had significantly lower levels of serum sclerostin, and higher IGF-1 levels (your youthful hormone) than those women who had less than two hours of physical activity per week.
Tighten Your Belt Buckle; Prevent Osteoporosis
If you are prone to osteoporosis, you may be shocked to discover that all the calcium in the world isn`t going to help you maintain your bones if your insulin levels are high. In fact, most of that calcium will be eliminated through your urine, or even worse, form calcifications in your arteries. In an important feedback loop, insulin signals osteoblasts to activate a hormone called osteocalcin, which in turn promotes glucose metabolism. Coupled with weight gain caused by insulin resistance, it`s a double whammy that increases your chances or breaking or fracturing a bone. Recent research has revealed that one of the body's obesity-related hormones–adiponectin–is also linked to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures, as well as reduced muscle strength and lower muscle mass.
In addition to a diet that keeps your insulin levels low, such as the meal plan in The Carb Sensitivity Program, I recommend adding a conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to your supplement arsenal twice daily with food. CLA has been shown to help preserve lean muscle as well as maintain bone density and muscle mass, improve insulin.
Watch For High Homocysteine Levels
Homocysteine is an inflammatory protein that, if elevated in the blood, is a proven independent risk factor for osteoporosis as well as heart disease, Alzheimer's and strokes. Homocysteine has been found to increase with insulin resistance. Get your levels tested and if it's above 6.3 I recommend including a complex of vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid in your daily vitamin regimen for at least 3 months or until your next physical exam.

text: I am currently doing "no 'poo" so I am not using this frequently at the moment, but I like it very much. (I'm still using the conditioner daily.) Since it doesn't have SLS, it doesn't lather as much as some shampoos, but it still cleans well. Most importantly, for me, it has a lovely scent while you are using it (not too medicinal, but a clean, strong herb scent), but the smell doesn't linger after you have rinsed your hair (strong scents in products frequently give me wanging headaches, so I have to be very picky about this). I think it's probably fairly expensive compared to the giant bottles of conventional shampoos, but I feel confident in the ingredients and think it works well. Also, as the name suggests, it's cruelty-free, which is always nice.

Yes, I've seen "serial" used in other places than the primary key, but I was referring to Greg's output. The data type for the sequence is listed as "bigint". My thought was that the data type was listed as "serial" for sequences. I just looked at my database and I was wrong about that. It does list the data type as an integer when you "describe" the table.

This is going to sound strange on a website dedicated to Linux but this article has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Linux.
This article shows Windows Vista users how and where to copy off essential files and folders and also how to create a system image of their Windows drive.
The reason I am writing a guide for Windows Vista is part of the wider series of articles showing how easy it is for Windows Vista users to download Linux, create a Linux DVD and then install Linux.
Backing up important files
Windows comes with it's own backup tools but I am not going to discuss using them because this article is all about copying off important files so that when you get around to installing Linux you can then copy them back again into your Linux partition.
Whether you intend to install Linux or not it is a good idea to follow this guide because you will find solutions to keeping your important data safe including documents, photos, videos and music.
What you will need
- A computer running Windows Vista
- Blank DVDs
- A USB drive
- An external hard drive
The amount of data you own will determine your backup strategy. For instance if you have a few hundred photos that take up 300 MB of space then you can save them on a single blank CD.
If you have high resolution photos that take up 3.5 GB then you will need a blank DVD.
Music can easily take up many gigabytes of data and so for that you might consider a USB drive or multiple DVDs.
Finally videos take up the most room and for storing full length movies an external hard drive might be the order of the day.
Now it may be the case that you will use a mixture of backup devices and so you might store photos on DVDs and Videos on an external drive.
Where can you get the media required to backup your files:
Blank DVDs are sold pretty much everywhere. As you can see by the Amazon link above you can get 50 for £8.96. A blank DVD can hold 4.8 Gigabytes of data and can obviously store a full length film. 50 blank DVDs can therefore store 50 full length movies.
A word of warning when it comes to buying blank DVDs. Cheap isn't necessarily good. You will find that despite what they told us in the 1980s about CDs, they do degrade in performance and they do scratch and the cheaper ones seem to degrade more quickly.
USB drives come in various different sizes and are again sold pretty much everywhere, from your local supermarket to electronic stores.
I have USB drives that hold just 1 Gigabyte of data and there are USB drives for sale that contain 256 Gigabytes of data. Out of interest an 8 Gigabyte USB drive in the UK is sold in supermarkets for about £8.
A USB drive is great for copying folders of data from one place to another. If you intend to copy data off so that you can install Linux and then copy it back again then a USB drive might be just the thing you need.
If you have a large amount of data then trying to store this information on DVDs or USB drives is going to be time consuming, frustrating and a bit hit and miss because sooner or later you are going to end up with a duff DVD.
An external hard drive stores much more data and can hold many terabytes of data.
Finally if you are lucky enough to live in an area with high speed broadband you might consider using a backup service such as Dropbox. For £9.99 a month you can get 100 gigabytes of data.
In this article I am going to show how to use each of these devices and then I will show how to create a system image.
Copying files to a DVD
I previously released an article showing how to install Linux on a DVD using Windows Vista. Within that article I highlighted a piece of software called CDBurnerXP and it is this piece of software that I will use to show how to create a DVD containing photos and music.
If you haven't already done so get a copy of CDBurnerXP and install it onto your computer. If you are unsure how to do this read the "how to install Linux on a DVD" article.
If you chose the default options when you installed CDBurnerXP then you will have an icon on your desktop. If this is the case double click the icon to open CDBurnerXP. If you haven't got an icon on the desktop, press the start button and start typing "CDBurnerXP" into the search box. The "CDBurnerXP" icon should appear. Double click this icon to start the application.
There are a number of options available.
For instance if you want to create a DVD full of songs to play in your car you would choose the Audio disc option and copy music files to the disk. (Although depending on your car stereo they might need to be converted into the correct format first).
Similarly a Video DVD can be created to play full length movies.
The "Data Disc" option lets you copy a mixture of files to a DVD.
Insert a blank DVD into your DVD drive and make sure that "Data Disc" is highlighted. Press "OK".
The screen that appears is basically split in two. The top two half of the screen shows the files on your computer (and other devices). The bottom half shows the files that will be copied to the disc.
To copy files to the disc simply navigate through the folders on your computer and drag them to where it says "Drag and drop files here". You can also click the "Add" button to add files and folders.
As you add files you will see the "Remaining Size" figure come down. When you have added all your files or the remaining space is too small you are ready to burn the disc.
Now all you have to do is press the "Burn" button on the toolbar. Note that if you would like duplicate copies you can change the number of copies option.
The next screen shows a few more settings that are available.
You shouldn't really mess around with the burn speed but you will want to amend the burn options.
The "Allow making changes to the disc later" will allow you to add more files later on if you find more files but beware that discs left open will not work on all DVD players.
The "Prevent further changes to the disc" is the preferred option and makes the disc readable on all DVD players.
The "Simulate burning process option" will emulate what would have happened if you had copied the files to a DVD.
I recommend always choosing the "Prevent further changes to the disc" option.
The "After Completion" settings let you verify that the files have been copied to the disc correctly, eject the disk and shutdown the computer.
I think you should forget about the shutdown computer option but the other 2 are worth checking.
Press "Burn disc" to begin the file copy.
The files will now be copied to the disk and you will have a safe copy of the files and folders you copied to the disk.
To make sure it worked it is worth placing the DVD into either another computer or back in the same computer to see if you can find the files.
Copying files to a USB or External Hard Drive
The process for copying files to a USB drive or to an external hard drive are the same.
To start you will need to open two "Windows Explorer" windows. This can be done by pressing the start button and searching for "Explorer". The other way is to press the Windows key and "E" at the same time.
Repeat the process so that you have 2 "Windows Explorer" windows open and drag them so they are side by side.
Hopefully if you have been your computer for a while you will be fairly familiar with Windows Explorer but if not here is a quick overview.
In the top left corner there are a series of links pointing at favourite folders including your documents, pictures and music. Most people save their documents, music, images and videos under the default location.
Under the favourites is a list of folders starting at "Desktop" and working down. You will see your username as the second option. Clicking on this will take you to the level one folder up from your documents, music, pictures etc.
There are also various drive letters. The "C" drive is generally your hard drive, D is a disk drive and every other letter is an external drive such as USB or external hard drive.
To copy files from your hard drive to an external drive click on your username in one of the explorer windows and in the other explorer window click on the drive letter that is for your external hard drive.
All you have to do to copy the folders from the hard drive to the USB drive or external hard drive is drag them from one window to the other.
Storing files online using Dropbox
The executable will download automatically. When the download has finished double click on the executable to open it.
You will probably get a security warning telling you that "Dropbox" may be bad but it really isn't, click "Run".
The Dropbox setup screen will be displayed. Click "Install".
The files will be installed as necessary and now whenever your computer starts Dropbox will be available in the system tray.
The first screen is the login screen. Now obviously the first time you use Dropbox you won't have an account. To remedy this click the "Sign up" link in the bottom left corner.
Signing up is just a case of entering your name, email address and a password. When you have done that click "Sign Up".
When you have finished a "Congratulation" message will appear. Click the "Open my Dropbox folder".
Copy files to Dropbox is now as simple as copying to an external drive. Find the folder in one Explorer window called Dropbox and in another Explorer window drag the files you want to send up to the web into that folder.
Create a system image and recovery media
A system image takes a snapshot in time of a disk partition (or an entire disk). Recovery media is used to recover Windows.
For this tutorial the tool that will be used to create a system image and recovery media is called "Macrium Reflect".
Click here to download Macrium Reflect.
For this tutorial the tool that will be used to create a system image and recovery media is called "Macrium Reflect".
Click here to download Macrium Reflect.
When you visit the CNET download site to download Macrium, click the "Download Now" button under the title of the software.
The file you downloaded from CNet is just an installer itself. When you run it you will be presented with the above screen.
Select "Free" for the free/trial software option and click "Download".
The download is around 180 megabytes. When you have finished downloading the software you will be presented with the screen above. Click "Next".
When you see the welcome message click "Next".
Click the radio button that accepts the license agreement and click "Next".
Click "Next" to get past the license key screen.
The next screen is the registration screen. If you feel like registering the software enter your name and email address but I personally recommend clicking the "No" radio button and selecting "Next".
Almost there. If you want to choose different options from the default click on the "Reflect" option and then check the items you wish to install.
Click "Next" to get past the custom setup screen
Finally you are ready to install the software. Click "Install".
After a minute or so your software will have completely installing and you can simply click "Finish".
To open Macrium Reflect double click on the icon that has been created on the desktop.
There are a number of options available including the options to clone and create disk images.
To create a disk image select the drive you wish to take an image of on the "Create a backup" tab and select the "Image this disk" link underneath the disk.
You will now be asked to select a destination where the disk image will be created. You cannot choose a location on the disk that you wish to create an image of because you will be affecting that disk.
Your choice of location will depend on what you have available to you. Ideally you will back up to an external hard drive or a USB drive. If you have either of these available to you click on the three dots next to folder and navigate to the relevant device.
If you only have DVDs available to you click on CD/DVD burner and insert the first blank DVD into the drive.
Click "Next" to continue.
The process will now start to create the disk image. If you are backing up to DVD and the image is larger than 4.8 Gigabytes you will be asked to switch disks when the first disk is full (and for every subsequent disk).
To create recovery media select the "Other Tasks" menu option and then select "Create Rescue Media".
There are two types of recovery media to select from. As you are using Windows I would recommend choosing the "Windows PE 3.1" option. Click "Next" to continue.
On the next screen you can choose the environment (32 bit or 64 bit) and you can choose which Windows Image File to use. I recommend accepting the defaults and clicking "Next".
Finally you are asked what kind of bootable media you wish to create. You can choose to create a bootable USB drive or a bootable DVD.
Make sure you have inserted either a blank DVD or a blank USB drive.
Click the relevant device option and then click "Finish".
That is it. You should now be all backed up. Wait though. Did you check that your media was created properly?
If you have created DVDs, USBs or External Hard Drives full of data insert them into their relevant drives and make sure that you can read the files on them. Try playing some of the videos or looking at the images. If you have a corrupt DVD or a dodgy USB drive then all of this will have been in vain.
The same can be said of recovery media and the system image. Insert your recovery media into the relevant drive and then reboot your computer. Make sure you can boot into the recovery mode and make sure your disk image is available.
In the next article I will show how to defragment your hard drive and shrink your Windows partition ready for installing Linux.

On Wednesday, May 9, 2012, closing arguments are taking place at the Chicago murder trial for William Balfour, Hudson's ex-brother-in-law who is accused of killing her mother, brother and nephew in October 2008. (AP Photo/Charles Sykes, File)
CHICAGO (AP) — Jurors deliberating the case of the man charged with murdering relatives of Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson say they're split.
The jury did not say it's giving up, though. In a note to the judge Friday afternoon, jurors said, "We are trying."
Prosecutors say Hudson's former-brother-in-law, William Balfour, killed her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew in a fit of jealous rage against her sister, Julia Hudson. Balfour was married but estranged from her at the time.
The jury has been deliberating since Wednesday.
In their note saying they are split, jurors asked for cellphone records. The judge sent a note back telling them to keep deliberating.

The Northern Elders' Forum has said President Jonathan cannot stop Sanusi's enthronement as the new Emir of Kano.
The forum said it is wrong for the Presidency to interfere with enthronement of the immediate past Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, as the new Emir of Kano.
Lamido Sanusi, Emir of Kano
According to the forum, the presidency ought not to interfere in an ethno-religious tradition that is over 1000 years old.
PUNCH reports that the Deputy National Chairman, NEF, Dr. Paul Unongo, alleged that President Jonathan has often rejected advise, going hard on his critics adding that he was being misled by his advisers.
"Such is happening in Kano after somebody who was supposed to be the government's enemy was chosen by the traditional people to be their emir. I saw the government reacting to a purely traditional and religious matter."
"He is a Christian president but people are pushing him to go and stop a religious and traditional leader. I don't think they know the meaning of an emir. An emir is both like a pope; like an archbishop and, at the same time, he has traditional powers," Paul said.
The forum also lent its support to the Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima, over his stance on the insurgency by the terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the North-East.
Following the death of Ado Bayero, the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi was chosen as the new Emir. Following the announcement that Sanusi was the new Emir, some aggrieved people took to the streets in protest.
There were also reports that Sanusi was sneaked out of his house by Kano state government after intelligence report that the Federal government was making plans to arrest him.
Even after he received his appointment letter and staff of office, he continued to rule his subjects from the Kano government house as the palace was under lock and key.
However, on Friday, June 13, the new Emir proceeded to his palace with a huge crowd following him.

Chloé's latest collection, Clare Waight Keller's second since taking over the label, is an airy-breezy sportswear affaire. The collection not only made sense as a whole, it was a welcome and refreshing stamp on the fashion landscape. We know that colors are big this season, that comfort and luxe are the duo du jour. Chloé is tapping on that and some. The line-up was full of great sportswear separates marrying British relaxed styling with French sophistication – a win-win combo in this case.
It is no secret that designers have an ongoing love affair with architecture and art, and Pedro Lourenço is no exception. He credited the video work of Russian artist Kon Trubkovich's as inspiration for this particular line-up, which blends beautifully moody photo-prints with sculptural/architectural forms. His coats were construction marvels, where the textiles (including leather) were juxtaposed so precisely that they looked as if carved-out instead of sewn. His fur applications enhanced the sculptural aspect with volume. Barely into his twenties Mr. Lourenço is one to watch!
Vanessa Bruno's contemporary take on Dryads (the ancient Greek mythological wood nymphs) came with a few surprises this season – mainly a Japanese Anime twist applied to the classic subject matter. The color palette was obviously 'woodsy' and dark. The forest is a fantasy-filled theme; it offers so many textures to choose from. From tree barks to filtered light to fluctuating foliage colors in daylight or nighttime, the inspirations are endless. Embroidered sheared mink beautifully translated this poetic theme, which was paired with textiles.
Stefano Pilati's Yves Saint Laurent collection was a walk on the dark side… in the shoes of a sleek, tough femme fatale (not the expected muse you would anticipate with the Yves Saint Laurent name). This somber collection couldn't have been more different from the YSL colorful muse of yesteryears, the one who loved history and flaunted her sensuality effortlessly. Pilati's line-up delivered narrow silhouettes cut from the shoulder accessorized with black leather touches, including chainmail and imposing black fur trims.

PUDSEY power has swept through mid Cheshire and helped a national appeal hit its highest total yet.
An enormous £26,757,446 has been raised during this year's Children in Need fundraiser, with Northwich residents joining in the fun of the 33rd campaign.
Here is just a snapshot of what was happening in the area on Friday.
Hartford CE High School held a wheelathon featuring members of the school gym club cartwheeling for 10 minutes.
More than 30 pupils took part and completed a total of 7,496 cartwheels, which is the equivalent of more than nine miles.
The wheelathon itself raised more than £300 and the school also held a free dress day, guess the bear's name and a cake stall.
At Mid Cheshire College, also at the Hartford campus, students joined in a variety of fundraisers.
These involved cake sales, dance performances, colourful Smurf exercise training and hair and beauty treatments.
The college estimates that it raised more than £1,000 with its efforts, though all of the donations are still to be counted.
Staff from Weaver Vale Housing Trust, which has its headquarters in Gadbrook Park, raised £500 with a dress down day, cake sale and Pudsey-themed sweepstakes.
Gemma Massey, from the trust's Giving Something Back charity group, said: "The trust is proud to support Children in Need.
"Our staff always come out in force to support good causes."
Primary school pupils at The Grange, in Hartford, and Charles Darwin Primary School, in Castle, had a cosy day in class as they came to school in their pyjamas for the day.
Car enthusiasts from Knutsford and District Motor Club, which has members in mid Cheshire, raised more than £400 when they pulled a rally car from Altrincham to Manchester city centre.

9th February 2010
The Lord Mayor of Birmingham was given a tour of Aston University, where he met with engineering academics and discovered the first class research facilities on offer.
Mayor, Councillor Michael Wilkes (Hall Green) had chance to see Aston's latest bioenergy research laboratories, which are due to open this spring. The laboratories will be used to extend Aston's trials into alternative and renewable low carbon energy sources, such as sewage sludge and algae.
Coun Wilkes also saw the latest in fibre optics and laser technologies. Aston's Photonic's research team is responsible for leading photonics research, which has recently seen the development of the world's longest laser at 270km.
The University's Formula Student team welcomed the Mayor's visit as he pledged to help raise sponsorship for the Aston Formula Student car, which competes in a prestigious university race challenge each year. The engineering scheme, now in its ninth year, attracts competitors from across the world. The competition challenges students to design, build, develop, market and compete as a team with a small single seater racing car.
Councillor Wilkes has also pledged his support to the British Science Festival, which is being hosted by Aston University, and will run from September 14th to September 19th.

However, the anti-apartheid icon's wife told a TV channel yesterday that his sparkle "is fading." She voiced her pain at seeing Mandela "ageing" on the same day that the Sowetan, a leading English daily in South Africa, in its editorial pointed out why his poor health is causing such a great deal of worry.
"He symbolizes what our country can achieve with a statesman of his stature. He's our inspiration and personifies our aspirations. And that's why we dread his hospital visits, routine or not. That's why even now when we are told not to panic, we do," the newspaper noted.
Mandela is revered by an overwhelming majority of his 52 million compatriots. Though the 94-year-old was hospitalised on Dec 8, initially the government did not clarify where he is being treated.
Officials urged the people to respect Mandela's privacy. Apparently the government does not want a repeat of the chaos that was witnessed back in Jan 2011 when Mandela developed an acute respiratory infection and underwent treatment at a Johannesburg hospital.
In their eagerness to get the latest updates, reporters entered the hospital's wards as did several citizens. Since the other patients were disturbed by these intrusions, the military took over Mandela's care and subsequently released few details about his health condition.
This time, President Jacob Zuma's office stressed in its statement that Mandela "is doing well and there is no cause for alarm." After Zuma visited the Nobel Peace Prize laureate on Dec 9, presidential spokesperson Mac Maharaj said that Mandela "had a good night's rest" and was "in good hands."
Yesterday, Defense Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula finally confirmed that South Africa's first black president is receiving medical attention at the 1 Military Hospital here. She met Mandela and later revealed that he was "undergoing a series of tests to determine what is going on in his body."
Mapisa-Nqakula said that it is for the doctors to decide the date on which Mandela would be released. "He's doing very, very well. And it is important to keep him in our prayers and also to be as calm as possible and not cause a state of panic because I think that is not what all of us need," the minister added.

NSA Analysts Intentionally Abused Spying Powers Multiple Times
Source: Bloomberg.com
August 23, 2013
Some National Security Agency analysts deliberately ignored restrictions on their authority to spy on Americans multiple times in the past decade, contradicting Obama administration officials and lawmakers statements that no willful violations occurred.
Over the past decade, very rare instances of willful violations of NSAs authorities have been found, the NSA said in a statement to Bloomberg News. NSA takes very seriously allegations of misconduct, and cooperates fully with any investigations -- responding as appropriate. NSA has zero tolerance for willful violations of the agencys authorities.
The incidents, chronicled in a new report by the NSAs inspector general, provide more evidence that U.S. agencies sometimes have violated legal and administrative restrictions on domestic spying, and may add to the pressure to bolster laws that govern intelligence activities.
The inspector general documented an average of one case per year over 10 years of intentionally inappropriate actions by people with access to the NSAs vast electronic surveillance systems, according to an official familiar with the findings. The incidents were minor, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified intelligence.

2. Let's remember, NSA itself can't be the judge of what's "intentional" or not
These cases would have to be declassified in order for the public or judges to determine themselves whether the NSA is whitewashing the number of intentional cases or not.
The thing is that we were told by NSA defenders that no intentional incidents occurred. Now it's "10." What's next?

In the past four seasons, the team that played the Eagles in Philadelphia's home opener went on to win the Super Bowl. That team didn't even necessarily need to beat Philly. Last year, the Ravens went into the Linc in Week 2 and lost 24-23. As you know, they eventually went on to win the Super Bowl.
A quirk of the Xerox of Fate? Most definitely. Nevertheless, the Chargers are the team to play the Eagles this year in Philly's home opener. Depending on how you feel about this phenomenon, it's either the NFL schedule makers being awfully generous to the Chargers or they intentionally scheduled a struggling team in the slot to ensure that the streak is snapped and no one discusses this ever again.

Felixstowe: Race for Jase fund in memory of Jason Gouldby tops £25,000
PUBLISHED: 07:00 08 February 2013
MONEY raised from a cycle ride in memory of a much-loved father-of-three who died from brain cancer has now topped a staggering £25,000.
More than 125 cyclists took part in the event last autumn to raise cash for the St Elizabeth Hospice following the death of Jason Gouldby, a member of the Port of Felixstowe fire and rescue team, serving as a leading fireman and emergency medical technician.
His family have been thrilled with how much money the bike ride through the Suffolk countryside raised – and have already set the date for a second event this year, when it is hoped even more people will take part.
Mr Gouldby, 43, who lived with his wife Rachel, and three young children Eve, Isaak and Oren, in Old Felixstowe, was first diagnosed with brain cancer in 2009.
Despite a successful operation to remove a tumour and further treatment, the cancer did not clear. After a courageous fight against the disease, he died in Ipswich, but spent his final days helping to plan the ride which was held in his honour.
Mrs Gouldby said the current total raised for the hospice was more than £25,700 and money was still coming in.
"We raised more than £22,000 in 30 days from friends and family – it was just incredible," she said.
"Jason was a very popular person and he had lots of friends and family supporting him the whole time he was poorly.
"Every penny raised is going to the hospice and every penny counts – the hospice does such a fabulous job and thoroughly deserves our help."
Mrs Gouldby said the date for this year's Race for Jase event would be September 7 and already more than 150 people had signed up to join in.
"Hopefully we will get even more than that and raise even more than last year," she said.
The cycle ride featured routes of 16, 25 and 50 miles – with everyone asked to wear red, Mr Gouldby's favourite colour – to suit all abilities, setting off from the clifftops at Old Felixstowe with some people riding as far as Snape.

A teenager hauled up before the courts for breaking her ASBO has vowed to change her ways.
Victoria Pickford, 19, admitted entering Poundland in George Yard shopping centre, Braintree on December 1, despite being banned from all non-food stores in Braintree and Colchester.
She was given the anti social behaviour order in February after shop lifting and threatening store staff. Miss Pickford, who grew up in Witham, claims she had been shopping with her sister and nephew and wandered in to the store by mistake while chatting.
As soon as she realised her mistake she tried to leave but was stopped by George Yard shopping centre staff who had been following her on CCTV.
She said: "We went in to get my nephew some juice, as my sister went to pay, I thought, 'Oh gosh I am not meant to be here and tried to leave'.
"I really did not want to break my ASBO.
"I'm really trying to change, for example, if I'm out and people upset me I try to stay calm and think of my niece and nephew."

A Hardened-PHP Project Security Advisory reports:
When the library parses XMLRPC requests/responses, it constructs a string of PHP code, that is later evaluated. This means any failure to properly handle the construction of this string can result in arbitrary execution of PHP code.
This new injection vulnerability is cause by not properly handling the situation, when certain XML tags are nested in the parsed document, that were never meant to be nested at all. This can be easily exploited in a way, that user-input is placed outside of string delimiters within the evaluation string, which obviously results in arbitrary code execution.
Note that several applications contains an embedded version on XML_RPC, therefor making them the vulnerable to the same code injection vulnerability.

Exmouth's Ruby May is a Teenstar
PUBLISHED: 18:00 27 March 2014 | UPDATED: 11:12 28 March 2014
POP stardom is beckoning for a young – and talented – Exmouth singer.
Ruby May Spencer, 14, has only been singing seriously for a few months.
But her sheer raw talent has pulled her through to the South West regional finals of TeenStar 2014 this Sunday afternoon (March 30) at Exeter's Corn Exchange.
Luke Friend won the 2013 competition, going on to become a finalist in last year's X Factor.
Ruby's hoping for a similar kick-start to her career, as she performs her emotive version of Sam Cooke's A Change Is Gonna Come.
"The message is in the song really – that change is going to come," said Ruby, who lives on Exeter Road.
"I hope to be successful with it, and I'll be singing other songs if I get through."
It's all been a bit of a whirl for Ruby.
"I sang all the time when I was little," she said. "I did a few talent shows in primary schools, and the teachers said it was good. I also used to sing for the family and they were impressed."
Keen to see if there was potential in her daughter's voice, Ruby's mum Carole Crawford helped her to find vocal coach Hannah Wood of Exeter's Vocal Arts.
"We first met Hannah about six months ago, and she's been a great support," said Carole. "When Ruby first sung in front of her, Hannah was 'Oh!', and it's gone on. Ruby did her first student gig after the second week. She just threw her in."
Singing is boosting Ruby's confidence.
"I was self-conscious," she said. "I wouldn't have been able to go up on a stage a year ago, not even six months ago. I had no confidence and Hannah has given me all that confidence. It's helping me in other areas… everything really."
Ruby, who loves blues, R&B, reggae and soul, says her biggest inspiration is Amy Winehouse, closely followed by Nina Simone.
She hopes her singing career will develop.
"That would be really cool if it did."

On the occasion of the dedication of our state's latest historical marker, I followed a lively group of elder Floridians down a weedy path to hear them reminisce about a magical place of childhood.
It had been more than 60 years since they'd splashed in Polk County's Kissengen Spring. But their memories were so crisp that one woman got a cold shiver as she remembered running down a long dock and diving into its icy-blue depths.
They'd pedaled their bicycles or saved gas coupons to carpool out to Kissengen in the 1940s, when it was a privately owned attraction. They rode horses, ate 25-cent hamburgers and wore down the dance floor in the rustic pavilion next door to the spring.
But their best memories were of the water itself. Cold and inviting, mysterious and exciting, there was no comparison to the city pool in nearby Lakeland. They plunged down Kissengen's steep slide into springwater that bubbled up from the Floridan Aquifer at the rate of 20 million gallons a day. Their cannonballs sent ripples 200 feet around them to the edge of the spring pool. They leaped from the dizzying wooden high-dive, framed by tall oaks and thick Spanish moss. It was a picture straight out of the old Tarzan movies.
Those movies were filmed here in Florida, to the north at Silver Springs, which remains the largest freshwater springs in the state. Of Kissengen, all that remains are black-and-white photographs snapped by carefree locals with no idea they were documenting a grand finale.
Kissengen went dry in 1950, the simple effect of too much groundwater pumping. Last month, Polk County and the state of Florida erected a marker to honor its history, which includes a rally for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's re-election campaign that drew thousands to the spring in 1936.
Tom Muir, curator of the Polk County Historical Museum in the old silver-domed courthouse in downtown Bartow, asked if I would give the dedication speech. I'd written a book about Florida's vanishing water that talked about Kissengen, so I was happy to accept the assignment. But it turned out to be a difficult one — a bit too close to my first job in journalism, which was writing obituaries.
I don't believe it's time to write the obituary for Kissengen Spring. Nor the Everglades, the Suwannee River or any other diminishing waters. I want to think more about water's future than water's past. And so, one Saturday morning before the speech, I brought the future to Kissengen's dead spring pool.
My son and daughter, sixth-generation Floridians, are only 9 and 7. But they are frequent fliers over the springs of Florida, just as the Polk County elders were in childhood. They fly in the same ways — by cannonball, by slide and by high-dive — and also on some newfangled contraptions called ziplines. But to them, nothing beats a thick, hanging tree vine to swing through the air and splash into a river or a spring — straight out of the old Tarzan movies.
Charles Cook, a biologist with the Department of Environmental Protection, led us into the basin — a hike through weeds so high he needed his machete to cut a path. Nature long ago reclaimed the long dock, pair of slides and dive platform. My kids were excited to find part of the berm that surrounded the spring, and some concrete steps that once descended into the pool.
But to my chagrin, their foremost emotion was to whine about the scratchy midday heat and weeds.
They complained. They inquired when we could leave. They complained some more.
Then, suddenly, they stopped. They had found some thick, hanging tree vines to swing through the air.
As always happens when children and nature connect, their mood changed like magic. But mine was wistful. Watching my daughter and son fly on those vines over parched ground — no spring to plunge into, no cold water to splash on flushed faces — I figured out what to say at the marker unveiling.
Kissengen was the first major spring in Florida dewatered by human activity. But it was not the last. In Hamilton County near the Georgia border, the town of White Springs was a spa and resort destination in the 1920s. Groundwater withdrawals dried out its stunning first-magnitude basin in the early '70s. Fenholloway Spring in Taylor County, bottled as "Fenholloway Sulphur Water" from the 1930s through 1954, also has turned to weeds. Another Taylor County spring called Hampton was home to the Hampton Spring Resort with 60 guest rooms. That spring rarely flows now. This is also the fate of Convict Spring in Lafayette County; Hornsby Spring in Alachua County; Royal Spring in Suwannee County.
In Union County, the town of Worthington Springs was once known for a walled respite by the same name, where women gathered for special "ladies only" swims. Today, all that remains is a small, stagnant caldron of algae. Few ladies — or gentlemen — would venture near.
Scientists predict the next name on this list of the fallen might be Suwannee Springs, just north of Interstate 10, site of a beautiful, ghostly spring house built of local limestone in the 1800s. Up in Suwannee County, another group of Floridians who enjoyed this spring in childhood is trying to preserve the architectural history. Perhaps they, too, will someday dedicate a marker to a spring that is no more.
But I hope not.
I'll make a U-turn to read a historical marker, and I understand the value in Kissengen's; I've talked to people who lived in Polk County 20 years and never heard of the spring. I like standing where Hernando DeSoto allegedly landed, or knowing what hurricane it was, what year it was, that brought a wave so high a county seat disappeared. I appreciate being able to show the kids where emancipated slaves built a school or founded a beachfront town.
All of that feels like the natural ebb and flow of history: Seventeenth-century conquerors fall and eighteenth-century boomtowns disappear and so, finally, did slavery. All inevitable, all profound narratives to record in the history books, dedicate the roadside markers, pass on to future generations.
But as Florida places this marker, let's acknowledge that water is different. Water gives Florida its life and its definition. These losses are not inevitable. Without question, we can stop them. We may even be able to reverse them. As a former symbol of our state's water bounty, and as the first major omen of its water limits, Kissengen Spring is the place to start.
Several years ago, a professional geologist from Polk County named Tom Jackson, who worked for the Southwest Florida Water Management District, shared with me his dream that Kissengen could flow again. His proposal was compelling and convincing. To pull it off would mean considerable reductions in the region's groundwater pumping. But nearby Tampa Bay had achieved just those sorts of reductions in less than a generation — while growing its population and economy.
The Peace River region is already well on its way to reversing the damage that dried up Kissengen. Over the past 20 years, the phosphate and agriculture sectors, two of the largest water users in the area, have made remarkable strides. In 1970, the phosphate industry withdrew 3,475 gallons of water for every one ton of phosphate rock produced. In 1990, it pumped 1,200 gallons of water for every ton of phosphate. Today, the industry requires about 600 gallons for every ton — benefitting our water resources and the mining companies' bottom lines.
Water demand is falling similarly across most industrial, agricultural and residential sectors. Last year, I took a sabbatical from Florida Trend to report on such successes around the country and the world for my new book, Blue Revolution. Here in Florida and all over the planet, people are learning to live — and live quite well — with far less water. Many farming operations have cut water use in half. Major metro areas have cut water use in half. Rainwater catchment and reuse are in vogue as people figure out that pouring drinkable water on lawns is simply not worth the price of a lost river or spring.
Tom Jackson died in 2009 at age 61, still fully optimistic in his views about Kissengen. He was ever-more convinced after 2006, when scientists watched a dry sinkhole next to the former spring slowly fill with water and begin to flow. They attribute the quenching to continued pumping reductions, and the back-to-back hurricanes that washed over Florida in 2004.
In Jackson's memory, I end with a challenge — not just to the people of Polk County, but to all Floridians: Let's make this historical marker the first in the state that has to be removed — or at least corrected — because Floridians came together and decided to change history.
More than to the past, our obligation is to the future. It is to preserve and restore Florida's water abundance — along with some of the same, wet-Tarzan jungles that our elders enjoyed in youth — for future generations.
Our call, at this moment, is not to record the history of lost water for our children and grandchildren. It is to leave the water for them.
Cynthia Barnett is senior writer at Florida Trend magazine and author of the new book "Blue Revolution: Unmaking America's Water Crisis." She'll discuss the book and sign copies at Tampa's Inkwood Books at 7 p.m. Oct. 6. This essay is adapted from Barnett's speech at the Kissengen Spring historical marker dedication ceremony Aug. 25.

Lamborghini Jota teaser imageEnlarge Photo
According to trusted sources, Lamborghini's planning a September surprise. Or, more precisely, a pair of September surprises. And while we don't know a whole lot about what to expect, we do know a 10-cylinder engine figures rather prominetly into at least one of the equations, based on the teaser photographs emanating from the publicity maestri in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Most bets are on a production version of the Estoque four-door sedan, given the market segment Lambo plays in is starting to see a raft of such autos. That and the Estoque concept from last year's auto show season are fueling considerable speculation. The other educated guess is toward a replacement for Gallardo, given that model has been around for seven years and has had the requisite number of iterations issued.
Stay logged in.
Either way, we'll know for sure next week, as Lamborghini has plans to airlift an Alitalia business-class-load of its U.S. dealers to a meeting at which the new models will be revealed next Thursday (9/23/2010). This, presumably ahead of the upcoming Paris Auto Show, where the High Gear Media team will be reporting live as each development emerges.

Hernando County has been plagued in recent months by vehicle burglaries, and detectives now believe they know who is responsible.
Anthony Buccellato and Ryan Stone, both 18, have been charged in 22 burglaries, but they are suspected of committing more than 100 since August. Each man is being held in lieu of $210,000 bail.
On Nov. 22, authorities say, Buccellato and Stone, both of whom live west of Brooksville, burglarized a car on Sweet Gum Road, west of Brooksville, then pawned some of the stolen items. A report says the alleged victim later went to the same pawn shop and discovered the property.
After the person contacted authorities, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation and found Buccellato, who detectives say admitted that he and Stone had targeted more than 30 cars near Higate Road in Spring Hill and filled a backpack with electronics.
Both Buccellato and Stone, reports say, have admitted to burglarizing vehicles on several Hernando roads, including: Sun Road, Sweet Gum Road, Adam Road, Pioneer Road, Higate Road, Yorkshire Avenue, Eddington Road, Bromley Avenue, Chamber Court and several streets in the Brookridge community.
Detectives have asked anyone with information on the alleged crimes to call the Sheriff's Office at (352) 754-6830.
John Woodrow Cox can be reached at (352) 848-1432 or email@example.com.

1. I vote = NO
Just the lives that have been destroyed because they were caught with pot and sent to prison.
At least the marijuana part needs to be corrected immediately.
The rest needs to be looked at from the point of
reducing the money going to the black market
and the tax dollars that could be used for reducing
the deficit instead of increasing the deficit and
ruining people's lives.
Not to mention the fanatic law enforcers who think
they are saving people from themselves. Again, we
take away the right for people to choose their own

2. Some of the many awful things that the war on drugs is doing:
Costing our nation a fortune in imprisoning people. Many of whom are simply self medicating.
Keeping our police, banking and public officials more and more corrupt as time goes by.
Forcing the average citizen away from any real "civil rights." And let's be honest - it is even worse for people of color. Far too many police jurisdictions have patrol officers who assume that non-whites have no ability to be driving in a fancy car, unless they are dealing drugs. So those folks bear a lot more hassle on account of the drug laws.
The average citizen is now forced to undergo drug testing - even if there is no real reason for a file clerk to "need" to be "marijuana free." The zero tolerance policy is keeping decent people out of the work force.

7. Our politicians andofficials say "We have to figure out ways to have
America's workforce be competitive with the Chinese."
When in reality, in secret meetings, it has already been figured out: keep drug users in prison, supervised by alchoholics, (many of the prison guards are heavilyu into alchohol) and have these prisoners make shoes and other products for cents per hour.

4. It's a typical war against human nature and free will
waged by a bunch of prune faced moralists aided by men who see it as a way to strip us of our civil rights.
It's worked admirably in removing our rights. However, all it's gotten us is more drugs, more gangs, and more violence.
End it. The drugs won a long time ago. Just throw in the towel, cut our losses and end it.
