Lakeside (2008) is a flowing 1940s-style brush script, inspired by hand-lettered titles in Otto Preminger's classic 1944 film noir movie "Laura". Lakeside uses OpenType magic to automatically mimic real hand lettering, choosing the best letter shapes based on where they fall in a word and what letters are nearby. It also includes three sizes of capitals: Normal capitals for typical settings, tall capitals for a more elegant effect, plus a small, plain set of capitals for setting in all caps, something not usually possible with script faces.

Weights & Styles
- Lakeside features advanced OpenType magic to automatically choose the appropriate letter shapes as you type based on whether the letter appears at the beginning, middle or end of a word. The crossbar on the lowercase "t" extends itself if space allows.*
- Three different styles of caps: Normal caps, which are the same height as the lowercase ascenders; titling caps, which are about 50% taller than the normal caps; and a set of small, plain caps for setting acronyms, roman numerals or any other case that calls for all caps.*
- Alternate cap "S" (more formal style).*
- Extended language support for most Latin-based Western and Central European languages.
- Automatic, arbitrary fractions.*
* Requires an application with support for OpenType advanced typography, such as Adobe Creative Suite and QuarkXPress. Check your application's user guide.

Test::Group::Plan - test plans for test groups
use Test::Group;
use Test::Group::Plan;
test_plan 3, mytest => sub {
ok 1, "one";
ok 2, "two";
ok 3, "three";
This module is an extension for Test::Group. It allows you to declare the number of tests that a particular group will run.
If you are not already familiar with Test::Group now would be a good time to go take a look.
By default, Test::Group doesn't care how many tests you run within each group. This is convenient, but sometimes you know how many tests should be run, and a plan provides a useful extra check that your test script is doing what you think it is.
The following function is exported by default.
test_plan ($plan, $name, $groupsub)
As the test() function exported by Test::Group, but with an additional $plan parameter. The value of $plan must be numeric.
An extra test will be run after $groupsub returns, to check that the number of tests run was as expected. Note that you should not add 1 to the plan to account for this extra test.

Daniel Freedman: Lessons From Motoring In MaliWBGO
Daniel Freedman: Lessons From Motoring In Mali
The itinerant path of a touring musician is nothing new. Drummer Daniel Freedman has walked that walk with New York jazz groups, salsa units, forro bands and on international tours with Angelique Kidjo. He has also taken the road less travelled – by bus.
"I was in Mali in 1997, and definitely had a few epic bus trips," Freedman says. "What I was told would be an eight-hour ride was closer to 30-something hours. No one else seemed to be complaining about how packed the bus was or that all the animals were on the roof. All the things we Westerners are not used to. That was the first time I went."
Bamako By Bus, Freedman's latest project, features a dozen other musicians with hectic schedules, including bassist Meshell Ndegeocello. "I spoke to Meshell about playing on a couple of tunes," Freedman says. "She was so enthusiastic about playing in general. It was inspiring. It was motivation to say, 'Let's do this.'"
And he did. What started as obsessive tinkering in his project studio became the foundation of Bamako By Bus. First, Avishai Cohen played trumpet and stacked melodies over Freedman's grooves. Then Lionel Loueke applied a coat of playful and brilliant guitar with vocals. Finally, those bus trips through the Sahel prepared Freedman for completing his task. "The recording process itself was chaotic," Freedman says. "People were coming and going all day long. I had different percussionists and singers coming in and out. 'This guy's gotta leave at that time.' 'Can we get a take?' But people were really generous with their talent and their time."
Freedman brought some of the musicians from Bamako By Bus together for a WBGO studio session. It was a small miracle that this happened at all. Get on the bus!

Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of color. And neither of them knows they're going to change each other for all time.

I have to admit that I was never a fan of workout tapes; in fact I was kind of cynical about the idea of following a bunch of people working out in a different physical location than where I am. I have been trying to lose weight since the beginning of the year. I started by doing DDR, even thought I have not been doing it lately, and a couple of months ago I joined a Kung Fu school. I also TiVoed a workout show from FitTV.
I was skeptical of the capability of a TV show to be able to get me to truly work out, but I was either super lucky or this Gilad guy is the best because the workout not only felt good, it really made me sweat in 30 minutes and not by jumping like a bunny from the first second. This made me think that TaeBo would be a good idea. The premise that a workout tape can mix martial arts and dancing intrigued me.
I have been hearing about how cool TaeBo is for quite some time. Mostly from their advertising machine. I felt that since I did practice TaeKwonDo for a couple of years before it would be something that I can jump right into. So I went and rented the new Boot Camp video and man was I disappointed. I tried it for the first time this morning and after 20 minutes I was disgusted. I cannot believe that a professional fitness trainer can truly sleep at night putting a product that I deem dangerous.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt and went to check out the website. I thought, hey maybe they have warning, or an introductory tape. I was surprised to see that the first thing they advertise is their new Boot Camp series and besides the warning to contact your doctor before you start a workout program there is nothing telling you, warning we are about to punish your back in such a was that a disk might just come flying out.
The tape starts at a rate that is unsafe without warming up… but I said ok, I can keep up. I did a couple of the initial exercise when Billy all of a sudden spread his legs and ask the viewer to bend down to touch the ground. I said OUCH and stopped to watch what he would do next. No warm-up, no stretching and this guy break into exercises that can seriously hurt someone, not just their muscles but also joints. I was just amazed that there is not a more of a warning before you start this program.
Stretching and warm-up is very important to every exercise routine. When starting to exercise, please consult a professional or a friend that does it in a regular basis. I see now why people get discouraged about exercising so easily. If TaeBo was my only resource or the first one I chose to look it, I would just give up working out and hit McDonalds on the way to work.


text: Discuss as: High anxiety might make you age faster By The Body Odd Thursday Jul 12, 2012 3:42 PM Email By MyHealthNewsDaily Staff High levels of anxiety might really make you age faster, a new study suggests. The study found a link between a common form of anxiety called phobic anxiety — an unreasonable fear of certain situations, such as crowds, heights or the outside world — and shorter telomeres in middle-aged and older women. Telomeres are caps on the ends of chromosomes that protect the genetic material from damage. "Many people wonder about whether — and how — stress can make us age faster," said study researcher Dr. Olivia Okereke, a psychiatrist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "This study is notable for showing a connection between a common form of psychological stress — phobic anxiety — and a plausible mechanism for premature aging," Okereke said. Telomeres generally shorten as we age, and among people of the same age, shortened telomeres have been linked to an increased risk of cancers, heart disease, dementia and overall risk of death. However, the researchers emphasized that the study only shows an association, not a cause-effect link, and it's possible that people with shorter telomeres are generally prone to experiencing more stress. Studies that follow people forward over time are needed to confirm the findings. Okereke and colleagues analyzed information from 5,243 women ages 42 to 69 years, who took part in the Nurses' Health Study. To measure participants' levels of phobic anxiety, researchers looked at their answers to questions such as "Do you have an unreasonable fear of being in enclosed spaces?" and "Do you feel panicky in crowds?" The researchers found a link between high scores on the questionnaire and shorter telomeres. The difference in telomere lengths between women who were highly phobic and those who were not was similar to what would be expected between women about six years apart in age. The findings held even after the researchers accounted for factors that might influence the length of telomeres, such as participants' smoking, body mass indexes, physical activity levels and the age of participants' fathers when their children were born. [See Men Who Delay Fatherhood May Extend Grandkids' Lives ] The researchers noted they did not take into account whether participants experienced depression, which may have affected the results. The study is published today (July 11) in the journal PLoS ONE. Related: 8 Tips for Healthy Aging Extending Life: 7 Ways to Live Past 100 11 Tips to Lower Stress

JWA Passenger Traffic Up for December, Full Year
Thursday, January 31, 2013
Share this article:
John Wayne Airport saw December passenger traffic rise 5.5% from a year earlier to 735,626 passengers.
Dallas-based Southwest Airlines Co. served the most passengers out of John Wayne during the month, with 292,185. United Airlines, part of United Continental Holdings Inc. of Chicago, was second (102,621), followed by Fort Worth, Texas-based AMR Corp.'s American Airlines Inc. (93,061).
Passenger traffic for the full year rose 2.9% to more than 8.85 million passengers.
"The addition of service to three new destinations in Mexico by AirTran and Interjet helped contribute to this growth," said John Wayne Airport Director Alan Murphy in a statement. "The overall increase in passengers, however, reflects both the new international service and improvements in the general domestic travel market."
AirTran Airways, part of Southwest Airlines, launched daily flights from Orange County to Mexico City and Cabo San Lucas last summer.
The airline announced late last year plans to double its service to Cabo beginning June 2 until at least Aug. 9.
AirTran's addition of Mexico service was followed by the debut of Interjet, which launched flights from Orange County to Mexico City and Guadalajara in October.
JWA saw air cargo in December grow by 17% to 1,630 tons, marking the fourth straight month of double-digit percentage increases.
Air cargo was up nearly 15% for the year to 17,870 tons.

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- The CW closed the books on its dramas this afternoon as "The Secret Circle" and fellow freshman "Ringer" have been canceled.
The news - as first reported (and then corrected)* by TVLine.com - comes after a busy day of pickups by the netlet.
"The Secret Circle," alongside its Thursday lead-in "The Vampire Diaries," were actually even with the last year's numbers for "Diaries" and "Nikita" among women 18-34 (The CW's target demographic) but down 14% in total viewers and 9% in adults 18-49.
Meanwhile, "Ringer's" Tuesday run - alongside "90210" - were collectively down 15% in women 18-34, 5% in total viewers and even in adults 18-49 as compared to last year's offerings on the night ("One Tree Hill," "Life Unexpected" and "Hellcats").
* Our sincerest apologies for any confusion created by this, we're not on The CW confirmation list so we took (and credited) TVLine.com at their word.

Hi everyone, my name is Martin and i'm from Argentina (sorry about my english). My question is about this graphic card: Nvidia GeForce GTX750Ti (http://www.nvidia.es/object/geforce-gtx ... pContent=2)
It is good enough for GPU encoding? How much it would improve the performance of the rendering? Thank you all!

Re: Is this graphic card good enough?
Yes you can use NVENC on GTX750 and 1080p H.264 encoding speed is about 5x-7x vs play speed.

As devastating as the tragic tornado in Oklahoma was, Moore is still home to Toby Keith. "It's the reason I never moved to Nashville. It's home. I tried to live other places and always just came back here," Keith told NBC News anchor Brian Williams on Tuesday (May 21) . "I'm very proud to have my name on that water tower." He also pointed out some of the highlights of the town — like the grocery store on the corner where he got his baseball cards and the bike run down Fourth Street — as he explained why Moore was so special and so resilient. "You see people pitching in and helping the second that it hit," he said of the tornado. "My son-in-law went right in, turned his truck over getting in there, gets electrocuted climbing in the school, the EMT guys pull him out of there and tend to him, and then he goes right back in and helps with search and rescue. Everybody's like that."
Keith also talked with CNN's Anderson Cooper and said that the Plaza Towers Elementary School did everything they could to protect the students. "Everyone here [in Nashville] was going, 'How do you live there? How did they leave those kids in school?' It's coming right at us, and you can't call the parents and say, 'Come get them now,'" he said. "Oklahoma's just so resilient, they did they best they could."

Mandy: True teen amateur first timer.Mandy is a broke college freshman. Let's hope the cost of higher education continues to skyrocket so I can continue to get girls like Mandy. She is 5' 85 pounds and has the sweetest southern accent. I had her kneel before me and suck my cock. This caused my balls to swell with a buildup of cum which I deposit in full on her face...Twice!. This girl was so tight I could barely get my cock in her pussy. Oh, but rest assured, I got it in.
Broke Amateur: Alicia
Alicia: Nerdy girl has a wild side!Alicia worked at Sam's club and apparently the pay wasn't that good so she ended up at the offices of Broke Amateurs. Hopefully they have god benefits since her asshole was probably a little sore after this shoot. But despite being a little shy about her first anal experience, this nerdy girl wanted it rough. Plenty of deep throat action led her to ask to get it "harder". Then she really earned her pay when she asked to eat her cum of my cock.

The camp was a huge success, and I owe a world of thanks to the service organizations around the Truckee / Tahoe area for making it another great year for the kids and instructors. The Truckee Donner Recreation and Park Districtandamp;#8217;s Junior Lifeguard camp would not be nearly as successful without the help of the Truckee Fire District, the lifeguards at Sand Harbor, and the people stationed at Coast Guard, Lake Tahoe. Each one of these organizations opened its doors, ambulance bags, and boats to our kids in order to give them a glimpse into the world of saving lives. Our campers were able to test lifesaving equipment, ride rescue boats and Jet Skis, play with handcuffs, and experience a day in the life of a paramedic, lifeguard, firefighter, and a Coast Guard cadet. The participation of these groups made for a truly wonderful two weeks of camp. Thank you, it was great to meet everyone and I look forward to seeing you again next August! Sincerely, Amanda Oberacker, aquatic coordinatorTruckee Donner Rec andamp; Park District

1000 ml - Holland (pronounced KEH-chup MAH-nis) is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce. Ours is imported from Indonesia via Holland providing a convenient way to buy ketjap manis online. This dark, syrupy-thick Indonesian sauce may be substituted for soy sauce in any recipe that also calls for a sweetener like sugar or honey (leave out the sweetener, or adjust the amount to taste), or any dish that you feel could benefit from a warm, slightly sweet undertone. We think it pairs wonderfully with Shoyu (soy sauce), and this marinade recipe is no exception. The ketjap is usually sweetened with palm sugar. Uses Try mixing equal parts ketjap and melted butter as a marinade for fish (broiled or grilled). For meat, brush with ketjap, and then baste a few times during cooking. For a simple but flavorful stir fry, sauté the veggies and meat or chicken (if using) in olive oil, and then add some chopped garlic, ginger and a few spoonfuls of ketjap as you stir fry - you probably won't need to add additional salt or sweetener.
Ingredients: syrup, soy sauce (water, soy beans, wheat flour, salt, caramel, preservative; sodium benzoate), acidifier: lactic acid, salt

Jeremy the runner (Criminal) had 6 agenda points and corp had 3 but runner hit a Project Junebug trying to get the last point. Second game Ben M as Criminal runner and Jeremy as Weyland. Runner build up a good rig and did some early runs. Weyland built up some huge servers with 3 Hadrian Walls in 3 different servers. Ben stole a Private SEcurity Force right before corp discovered illegal card in remote server, ice in the server instead of the agenda which was the private security force Ben stole. Costly mistake. Runner took a tag and failed to remove it (no idea why), two Scorched Earths and on to game 3. So two mistakes and ended at 16-16 for each. Tie breaker next. For game 3 Ben won the roll and took his HB deck back out for the final game. Fast start for Jeremy to 5 agenda points from HQ. game then went on for quite a while. Jeremy ended up scoring his last two points to win 8-2.

What, you might ask, would prompt normally sane people to jump into English Bay on a frigid Tuesday afternoon in nothing but their bathing suits or, worse yet, skivvies.
Did someone say it's a blast?
"I didn't even know this existed," said former Pittsburgh resident Rachelle Fell, who moved to Vancouver five months ago and took the plunge on New Year's Day as part of Vancouver's 93rd annual Polar Bear Swim.
"It sounded like fun and it was," Fell added of Tuesday's swim, which finished with a near record turnout of 2,233 participants. "It was awesome and it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be."
Fell was part of a growing international presence at Vancouver's Polar Bear Swim, with people from all parts of the globe participating in the mayhem.
Baba Keisuku, a Japanese English-language student in Vancouver, came third in a 100-yard swimming race that was part of the day's events.
"It's too cold," said Keisuku, who finished after winners William Vosper and Nicole Burnham, the top male and female, and Trevor Olson, who came in second overall. "It's like swimming in icy needles."
Will he do it again next year? "No, never again."
Paulo Costa, a 30-year-old engineer who moved to Vancouver from Brazil five years ago, was dressed as Superman.
It was his fourth time taking the plunge into English Bay on New Year's Day.
"It's fun," he said. "When you first go in, it hurts. Then you go home and take a hot shower, the best part of the day."
Costa never did anything like it in Brazil. "It's summer there, so there's no point."
Sean Healy, supervisor of aquatics for the Vancouver board of parks and recreation, one of the swim sponsors, said that about 20,000 spectators showed up.
The water temperature was a cool 7 Celsius, while the air temperature was about 3 C.
Healy said a lot more tourists are showing up for the swim, making it part of their holiday plans.
He noted that while most participants stay in the water a few seconds, "some brave souls stay in five, 10 or 15 minutes."
Tuesday's participants included a broad assortment of characters of all ages, including scores dressed as everything from gladiators to super heroes, zombies and, of course, Elvis.
Offshore, a small flotilla of boats, including kayaks, peppered the bay as the swimmers surged for the water at 2:30 p.m.
Victor Batista, 49, of Vancouver, took the plunge for his 11th time.
"This is a great way to cleanse yourself and start fresh. I have a bucket list this year and I'll also be bungee jumping, skydiving and longboarding at 90 (kilometres per hour). It's cold, for some. But for me, it's refreshing."
Vancouver resident Ian Manson, 47, was feeling the effects after swimming to a lifeguard boat and staying in the water for 10 minutes.
"This is my first time and I'd do it again, but not tomorrow," said Manson, who also snowshoed on Cypress Mountain Tuesday morning.
Michael Johnson, of Vancouver, said simply: "It's got to be done. It's part of Vancouver tradition. The key is to wear runners in the water. And a couple of shots of an alcoholic beverage helps."
One swimmer who couldn't make the 2:30 p.m. start was Andy Dillon, 38, of Vancouver, who decided to "go it alone" an hour-and-a-half earlier.
"I'm preparing for next year," added Dillon.
Vancouver's Polar Bear Swim was one of many held across Canada Tuesday, including other local events in Deep Cove and White Rock.

Acting Like Children
With Apologies to Children Everywhere
(Note: se-ques-ter (si-kwes-ter) v. 1. to remove or set apart; segregate; 2. to withdraw into seclusion)
If only we could remove or set apart the U.S. Congress. Preferably to the polar ice cap. But then, haven't they done enough damage already?
Right about now, "sequester" is quite likely the least popular word in America. After "flu," "Trump," and "Kardashian," that is.
You know the mind-numbing, stomach-heaving details. But allow me to numb your mind and cause your stomach to heave momentarily one more time.
Last year, in a desperate, last-minute effort (is there any other kind of effort in Washington these days?) to avoid the fiscal cliff before the last fiscal cliff, Democrats and Republicans agreed to put off the really tough, contentious budget details until a later date. As an incentive to finally come up with those details, though, the parties agreed to construct a budgetary doomsday weapon, a fiscal Sword of Damocles to dangle over their mutual heads: the sequester.
At a pre-arranged later date, this WMD (weapon of mass desperation) would automatically kick in such sweeping, massive and indiscriminate budget cuts across the board -- dramatically affecting both social and military spending and potentially triggering another recession -- that surely sane leaders would come to their senses beforehand and finally make the kinds of rational spending decisions necessary to avoid such madness.
That later date (March 1) is now nearly upon us.
Guess what?
Senses were not come to. Sanity seems to have left the building. And now it's just about sequester time. How 'bout that, huh?
I thought about this embarrassing failure of leadership this week. Especially while hanging out some with my kids during school vacation week. I think my kids might actually be more mature than some of our elected leaders in Washington.
And my kids (ages nine and seven) are not that mature.
Take not getting along. Often they don't. Ditto for Democrats and Republicans.
(Okay, double-ditto.) But when my kids are at each other's throats, and they are presented with a genuine (for them) doomsday scenario (no TV) unless they knock it off, they actually come to their senses and knock it off before suffering such mutually assured destruction.
In other words, for two kids under age ten, a sequester-like threat actually works.
Which proves, apparently, that we have set the bar way too high for our leaders.
Take spending. My kids want to buy stuff. Funny how that works. My wife and I have persuaded them to pick up odd jobs around the neighborhood. They quickly made about $20 bucks and just as quickly bought a new Wii game. Then they wanted to buy another one. Funny how that works. The message: make some more money. (No, they do not have to pay for their care and feeding. Or a small mountain of other games and toys that seem to be gathering dust.)
In Washington? The notion of actually raising more money for the stuff we all agree we want remains a toxic one for one party (GOP). It's like garlic or daylight with Dracula -- mention increased revenue, and Republicans recoil in horror.
Unfortunately, for the rest of us, the fiscal insanity just goes on and on just like Dracula -- undead, unable to be put to rest, and forever rising up to, well, if not to drink our blood, at least to regularly make it boil.
As for my kids, they wouldn't know a sequester from a siesta.
But I guarantee they'd be smart enough to shake off their anger, shake hands, and do what needs to be done before doing something as stupid as bringing down a hurtful hammer on both of them.
It's tempting then to say I'd like to see our leaders act more like children.
Unfortunately, in too many other ways, though, they're already doing that.

At the Fedora Project, we strive to provide an operating system with the latest, best features that's usable by everyone. Our millions of users agree that we've got what it takes. Everyone from schoolchildren to housewives to students to scientists are using Fedora all over the world to compute with stability and security. And the work that the Fedora Project continues to do in hundreds of upstream communities has helped other distributions become popular too.
But Linux isn't everyone's cup of tea. Because we respect the freedom to choose, even if that choice is for something other than freedom itself, this page explains how to uninstall Fedora from your system. How you proceed depends somewhat on how you set Linux up on your system.
These instructions should work equally well with most other Linux distributions.
- 1 My system only has Fedora, and I want to remove it and restore Windows.
- 2 My system is a dual-boot with Windows XP and Linux, and I want to remove Linux and keep Windows.
- 3 My system is a dual-boot with Windows XP and Linux, and I want to destroy both and return to a Windows-only system.
- 4 I have a triple-boot or other highly customized setup and I want to remove Fedora.
My system only has Fedora, and I want to remove it and restore Windows.
This situation is easy to fix:
- Back up your data as shown above, if necessary.
- Shut down your Fedora system.
- Boot from your Windows installation disc, which should have been provided with your system manufacturer. Sometimes this disc is called a "system restore disc." If you do not have such a disc, you may need to contact your system's manufacturer.
- Follow the instructions for system restoration that were provided with your system. If you did not receive these in printed form, you may find them on the system restore disc. If not, visit the manufacturer's web site.
Some system restoration media, like a Windows installation disc, gives you choices for partitioning your hard disk. If you are presented with any choices for disk partitioning during the restoration or Windows installation process:
- Remove all existing partitions.
- Make a single partition taking up the full size of your hard disk
- Install Windows on the new, single partition.
Often when you use a manufacturer's system restoration disc, the restoration process handles this procedure for you.
My system is a dual-boot with Windows XP and Linux, and I want to remove Linux and keep Windows.
- Back up your data as shown above, if necessary.
- Shut down your Fedora system.
- Restart your system. During the boot delay time, hit the Up and Down arrow keys to select your Windows operating system, and hit Enter to boot from it.
- After Windows has started, from the Start menu, select Control Panel.
- Select Performance and Maintenance, then Administrative Tools, then Computer Management.
- In the left pane of the Computer Management window, under Storage, select Disk Management. On the right side, a graphical representation of your disk appears with bars representing each partition. The first partition is usually labeled NTFS and appears as your C: drive.
- Remove other partitions belonging to your Linux system. Do not try to remove the C: drive partition. When you have finished, the rest of the disk is labeled as unallocated.
- From the Start menu, choose Run....
- Enter the command diskpart. A command window opens.
- Enter list volume to show the volumes on your system. Each volume is numbered. Find the volume that represents your C: drive.
- Enter select volume <N>, where <N> is the number of the volume for your C: drive.
- Choose extend to extend the volume to fill the remainder of your disk where your Linux system previously existed. The diskpart utility confirms that the volume has been successfully extended.
- From the Start menu, choose the Shut down command and shut down the system.
- Insert the Windows installation CD and restart your system. Pay attention to the boot screens.
- The screen shows Press any key to boot from CD. Hit a key to boot from the CD. Allow the Windows installer to load.
- At the options menu, hit R to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console locates your existing Windows installation at C:\WINDOWS and assigns it with a number, usually 1.
- At the prompt to log in to the Windows installation, enter the number shown, followed by the Administrator password for your Windows installation.
- At the prompt, enter fixmbr to repair the master boot record of your disk. Your existing Windows partition should not be removed or harmed.
- Enter exit to exit the Recovery Console and restart your machine.
Your machine has now been restored to a Windows-only system, with your C: drive re-expanded to fill your hard disk.
My system is a dual-boot with Windows XP and Linux, and I want to destroy both and return to a Windows-only system.
This is essentially the same case as that of the Linux-only system above. Simply follow those instructions to remove all operating systems and start from scratch. You will lose all data on your system, including all your Fedora and Windows programs and data. Follow the procedures for backing up data shown above.
I have a triple-boot or other highly customized setup and I want to remove Fedora.
These instructions cannot adequately cover every possible configuration, given Fedora's extreme flexibility. You should refer to the available help facilities and ask questions about your specific setup. Remember to be friendly, and provide as much relevant information as possible, so that others can help you effectively.
Alternately, you can consider using the instructions for a simple Windows re-installation to simply install your system from scratch. Note that procedure also removes any other operating systems from your system.

From Puglia. This is another very simple recipe that I cook a lot when green beans are in season. The pictures have been sitting on my computer for a while, so they are no longer in season, but should be fairly easy to get. The recipe uses ricotta marzottica or dura, which is hard to get outside Italy. The best substitute is grana or parmesan. Don't use regular ricotta, it's a different thing completely. The beans are cooked for quite a long time and you might consider them to be overcooked, but it works well with the pasta. If you prefer, you could add the beans along with the spaghetti.Serves 4.
- 500g green beans
- 360g spaghetti
- 1 quantity tomato sauce or pasatta
- Ricotta marzotica or grana
- Top and tail the beans
- Boil the beans in plenty of boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Add the spaghetti to the water and continue cooking until the pasta is al dente.
- Drain the beans and pasta and mix with the warmed tomato sauce.
- Serve topped with ricotta marzotica or grana.

New products introduced over the last week include a new annuity from Northwestern Mutual; a new managed futures fund from Hatteras; and a new low volatility equity fund from BMO.
In addition, Vanguard announced that it would switch indexes on 22 funds to lower costs and DDJ Capital was named as a subadvisor to the Northern Multi-Manager High Yield Opportunity Fund.
Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:
1) Vanguard to Switch Indexes on 22 Funds to Cut Costs
To cut costs for investors, Vanguard plans to transition 22 funds, many of which have an ETF share class, to new indexes starting in 2013, the fund giant said Tuesday.
The changes entail moving six international stock index funds and 16 U.S. stock and balanced index funds with about $537 billion in assets from MSCI benchmarks to those constructed by FTSE and the University of Chicago's Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP).

2) Northwestern Mutual Introduces New Annuity
Northwestern Mutual has introduced the Select Portfolio Deferred Income Annuity, designed to help individuals create a guaranteed income to take them through retirement. It also offers the opportunity to grow income via nonguaranteed dividends. Individuals can also elect to take any dividends in cash or apply them to increase income, or they can do a combination of both.
Individuals can purchase the Select Portfolio Deferred Income Annuity where available with a lump sum payment of tax-qualified funds, such as funds held in a 401(k) plan or a traditional or Roth IRA.
3) Hatteras Launches Managed Futures Strategies Fund
Hatteras Funds announced Tuesday that it has launched a new mutual fund, the Hatteras Managed Futures Strategies Fund (I shares: HMFIX, A shares: HMFAX). The new fund invests in an existing $56 million strategy of the Hatteras Alpha Hedged Strategies Fund (ALPHX, APHAX, APHCX, ALPIX), a multistrategy, multimanager alternative mutual fund.
Dominion Capital Management, 2100 Xenon Group, Northfield Trading, and Revolution Capital Management serve as the fund's managers and rely more on short- to intermediate-term trends.
4) BMO Global Asset Management Launches Low Volatility Equity Fund
BMO Global Asset Management announced today the addition of the BMO Low Volatility Equity Fund (MLVEX), designed to provide investors with long-term returns comparable to U.S. large cap stocks but with less volatility.
It seeks capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets into a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks of some of the largest U.S.-based companies similar to those of the Russell 1000 Index.
5) DDJ Capital is Subadvisor for NMHYX
The board of trustees of the Northern Multi-Manager Funds have approved the appointment of DDJ Capital Management, LLC as a subadvisor to the Northern Multi-Manager High Yield Opportunity Fund (NMHYX).
DDJ Capital joins Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC, the other subadvisors to NMHYX. The appointment was effective September 25.

First SMOS data received
This image is the first data sent to Earth by the MIRAS instrument on ESA's SMOS satellite, launched on 2 November. It was acquired as part of the initial functional verification test since the instrument was switched on on Tuesday.
The image depicts non-calibrated brightness temperature values colour coded from blue (low) to red (high). Although the image content cannot be interpreted at this time, it proves that the instrument is in good shape and the data reception and processing chain are working.
The switching-on of MIRAS (Microwave Imaging Radiometer using Aperture Synthesis), an L-band radiometer with 69 receivers mounted on a star-shaped three-armed antenna, marked the completion of the critical launch and early orbit phase.
Engineers are now evaluating the quality of the downlinked data and concentrating on the calibration of the instrument. Once calibration has been achieved, the first maps of soil moisture and ocean salinity will be released.

Shirley Sherrod
NAACP condemns remarks, saying 'her actions were shameful'
black USDA official in Georgia has resigned after publicly admitting she didn't help a white man trying to save his farm to the "full force" of her power and instead referred him to "own of his own."
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said he had accepted Shirley Sherrod's resignation, saying there was "zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA."
The NAACP, which recently condemned racism in tea party groups , also issued a statement Monday night saying: "Racism is about the abuse of power. Sherrod had it in her position at USDA. According to her remarks, she mistreated a white farmer in need of assistance because of his race."
The Huffington Post said a YouTube video clip of her speech was first posted on the biggovernment.com blog and a report was then aired by Fox News.
Sherrod, who resigned late Monday from her job as USDA's Georgia director of rural development, is shown talking about "the first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm." Her remarks came at a local NAACP Freedom Fund banquet, which the video says took place in March this year.
She says in the clip that the farmer had tried to show he was "superior" to her.
"He had to come to me for help. What he didn't know, while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me, was I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him," she says in the film.
"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have lost their farmland and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land — so I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough," she adds.
'His own kind'
Some of her remarks appear to be greeted with laughter by some of the crowd.
Sherrod says she took the farmer to see "one of his own," referring to a white lawyer. "I figured that if I take him to one of them, that his own kind would take care of him," she says.
In his statement, NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said the organization was "appalled by her actions, just as we are with abuses of power against farmers of color and female farmers."
"Her actions were shameful. While she went on to explain in the story that she ultimately realized her mistake, as well as the common predicament of working people of all races, she gave no indication she had attempted to right the wrong she had done to this man," he said.
"The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action," Jealous said.
He thanked the people who had brought Sherrod's remarks to the attention of the NAACP's national office.
"Sherrod's behavior is even more intolerable in light of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's well documented history of denying opportunities to African American, Latino, Asian American, and Native American farmers, as well as female farmers of all races," Jealous said. "Currently, justice for many of these farmers is being held up by Congress."
Vilsack's statement said he "strongly" condemned discrimination against anyone.
"We have been working hard through the past 18 months to reverse the checkered civil rights history at the department and take the issue of fairness and equality very seriously," he said.

Breastfeeding advocates are rallying around a Laurel, Md., mom who said she was harassed on an American Airlines flight last month because she refused to cover her son while breastfeeding him.
A group of mothers held a "nurse-in" at BWI Marshall Airport Wednesday morning in support of the woman, an Anne Arundel County public school teacher who has asked to remain anonymous in order to avoid harsh reactions from her students' parents.
But a friend of hers posted the woman's story on her Facebook page Sunday, along with a letter from American Airlines in response to the woman's formal complaint to the company after the incident.
The latest news from around North Texas.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the letter has been shared on Facebook more than 7,500 times.
"I feel sorry for all the nursing mothers and babies who have experienced this kind of shaming and discrimination," the woman wrote. "I worry that some other moms may have stopped nursing their babies just to appease another adult who has no business making them feel ashamed of nourishing their babies."
According to Hanna Butta's post, the incident occurred July 21. The woman and her husband were flying home with their five-month-old child.
After lift-off, the woman began nursing her son in order to keep his ears from hurting and stop him from crying during the flight.
"[A flight attendant] shook her head at me and gave me a very unpleasant look, like I was doing something very obscene," the woman told News4 Washington.
The flight attendant came back and asked the woman to put a blanket over her son because there were children on the flight, the post read. The woman's husband said they preferred not using a blanket and the woman continued to nurse her son.
A few minutes later, the flight attendant returned again and told a young girl in the aisle seat next to the woman and her husband that she was going to move her back because she could have been feeling uncomfortable, according to the post.
The woman stressed in the post that it appeared the young girl didn't even notice the nursing. The flight attendant allegedly avoided her and her husband for the rest of the flight and never offered them drinks.
The woman filed a complaint on the American Airlines website, describing the flight attendant's behavior as "inappropriate" and "harassment-style."
In its letter, American Airlines apologized but said they ask that anyone breastfeeding on an American Airlines flight to show "certain discretion and a sense of modesty."
"I think an appropriate response from American Airlines to my written concern would have been a sincere apology and a promise to address that employee's behavior," she said. "Instead, I received a letter claiming to be an apology but was more like a justification for the flight attendant's unprofessional actions."
In a statement to NBC Washington, American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said,
"To clear up a misunderstanding, American Airlines has always allowed mothers to breastfeed during flight. The approach our flight attendants take is to ensure breastfeeding mothers have the privacy they wish to have, while also ensuring the comfort of our other passengers.
"We apologize to the breastfeeding mother who was offered a blanket during a recent flight by a well-intentioned flight attendant. The intent was to make everyone onboard comfortable, including the unrelated 12-year-old sitting in the same row."
Huguely also acknowledged that the company's letter should have used language closer to that in flight attendant manuals, which state that the "breastfeeding of infants is permitted during all phases of flight" and "F/A's should not place restrictions or requirements on the mother of the infant."
American Airlines representatives also sent the woman a travel voucher.

Hotter Earth implicated in tropical rainfall rise
Rising global temperatures could be changing rainfall levels in the tropics, according to researchers.
Scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center in the United States analysed the global rainfall record from 1979 to the present, logged by the Global Precipitation Climatology Project.
They found that while there has been no overall global change, rainfall over oceans in tropical latitudes increased by five per cent over the period and decreased by one per cent over land — a total increase of four per cent for the entire tropics.
The year 2005 saw the highest amount of rainfall on record over both tropical land and ocean. Two-thirds of all rain globally falls in the tropics.
The study was published this month (1 August) in the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate.
"Since we know there are long-term changes in temperature, the presumption is that these changes [in rainfall] are related to the temperature changes," Robert Adler, co-researcher on the study, told SciDev.Net.
He explained that the tropical oceans have experienced higher rainfall as higher temperatures create more moisture over oceans, resulting in more precipitation.
He added that people on the ground would probably not have noticed the rainfall changes, except for some subtle changes in the number or severity of storms.
Adler stressed that they do not know why rainfall is increasing specifically in the tropics, and said that more research is needed to establish a cause and effect relationship between change rainfall and the warming climate.
"What's interesting is that if this kind of change in precipitation is happening with temperature change, what's going to happen over the next 50 or 100 years?" says Adler.
If the changes continue, he says, there could be "significant problems for populations in these areas".
Adler said the next step is to verify the observations using new methods that use radar to detect rainfall, as part of NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission.

Memo incontinence strikes again
Leaked memos seem to be a recurring problem for Republican Sen. Slade Gorton. The Washington lawmaker received unwanted publicity in February when environmentalists obtained a memo revealing that industry groups had written his Endangered Species Act reform bill (HCN, 5/1/95).
Now comes a second memo, dated June 1 and directed to the managers of three public utilities in the Pacific Northwest. It urges the utilities to join Gorton in an "aggressive" campaign to support a legislative initiative to cap spending on endangered Snake River salmon, reports AP. The public relations effort would be "a targeted, focused, region-wide communications effort ... directed by Sen. Gorton." Gorton's chief of staff immediately backpedaled, admitting that the memo went too far in describing Gorton's role. "I didn't mean that. We can't do that. It's not legal," said staffer Tony Williams, noting that it breaks Senate rules.
Gorton's plan would also create a new tribal and state body to decide which fish runs survive and which die. Wendy Wilson of Idaho Rivers United was outraged: "BPA (Bonneville Power Administration) spends many times more money on nuclear power plant debts and subsidies to industries (than on fish and wildlife). Why doesn't Gorton cap those costs?" Meanwhile, BPA announced July 10 that it will cut its power rates for some utilities and industries, including the region's aluminum smelters, while raising rates for many residential customers.
