Losing one file on your computer can be annoying and inconvenient; losing all the information on your computer can be catastrophic. If you haven't given any thought to backing up your computer drives, you may want to consider doing so. Information on your computer can be lost in many ways. Experiencing a power surge or outage, lightening, a child playing on the keyboard or simply equipment failure are just a few of the causes.Your first step will be to decide what to backup. A good start would be to have a "laundry" list of the files you consider to be important. You will find that this list will also be valuable if you need to recover a single lost or damaged file. Some recommended files to backup would be financial information, family photos, personal projects, email and email addresses, your Internet bookmarks, any software that has been paid for and downloaded from the Internet, music downloads, business forms and letters, your .com web site, in reality, anything you do not want to loose or cannot replace.Next you will need to decide on a method to store this information.

The kinder, gentler energy superpower

In the face of US demand for Canadian oil, the greatest challenge we face is maintaining our sovereignty and democracy. Already that demand has dictated for us Canadian policy on greenhouse gas emissions and the SPP (which is principally about securing energy security and prosperity for the US). The Canadian electorate's opinion is simply bypassed and the important long-term decisions on the future of our country are made behind closed doors by unelected elites.

For example, it was a Jan. 2006 meeting in Houston, Texas, kept secret from the Canadian public for over a year before Radio Canada got a hold of the minutes, that called for a "fivefold expansion" in oilsands production in a relatively "short time span" and encouraged decision-makers "to streamline the regulatory approval process" with a "one-stop-shop" for project proposals to facilitate that expansion.

Poll puts Zapatero ahead (but don't tell the Spanish)

In private though, Socialist Party officials worry that the high rate of immigration in the past few years could cost it votes on Sunday. Spain’s once-dwindling population has jumped from 40 million to 45 million since 2000, boosting the economy but creating tensions in working-class, urban areas, where many immigrants have settled.

Mr Zapatero swept to power unexpectedly four years ago on a wave of public anger over the previous Government’s handling of the Madrid train bombings, which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800.

In an uncommon endorsement, Cizik says science can be an ally to help religious believers understand what faith is telling them.

Buck & New Dawg: Can the Patriots bounce back from the "Eli Ender" in ...

Can Tom Brady & Co. recover from this Super Bowl XLII loss to the Giants? Or have we just witnessed Mike Tyson lose to Buster Douglas?

BUCK: This is exactly Tyson-Douglas all over again. I think the Patriots have everybody hoodwinked into thinking, Oh, but these are Patriots. The problem, Newy, these Pats poured everything into their quest for perfection, and Sunday nights Eli Ender will hang over them next season like one of Belichicks old gray sweatshirts left out in the rain. Lest we forget, six of the last seven Super Bowl losers failed to even make the playoffs the next year.

The way it used to be, kids...

I would not have liked to live back then," laughs 10-year-old Jack Heap, a Year 6 pupil. "Going on the walk was great, especially looking at the old wells."Fellow classmate, Kiera Janicwiez, 11, agrees."It must have been quite hard living back then but I have enjoyed finding out all about it. "It was especially interesting to learn about a pub that was called The Anchor which used to be a field that belongs to my grandad."The book contains descriptions of what it was like to be a child in the village in an age when there were few cars and they could safely play in the streets, sledging in winter all the way from the chapel to the stream.There are descriptions too of how the village sounded with church bells ringing out and cartwheels and clogs clattering over the cobbles, as well as the "knock-upper" who woke mill workers by rattling a long pole against their windows.Other topics include health, families, the home, washing, communications, clothes, play and entertainment, community, transport and travel and religion.Head teacher of St Mary's, Simon Scott, said the book had been enjoyed by all children at the school."It was Year 5 and Year 6 who went on the walk and have been involved in the main but we have put other copies in our library and all the children, of all ages have been interested.

DUP successor 'must do business'

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said he is not concerned if the new first minister has a more distant relationship with him than Ian Paisley.

Mr Paisley announced on Tuesday that he would stand down as first minister and DUP leader in May.

Mr McGuinness said the issue of Mr Paisley's successor was "no big deal to me".

"I am only really interested in working with people who are prepared to do the business, prepared to do the work."

Meanwhile, Stormont Junior Minister Jeffrey Donaldson has pledged to back Peter Robinson as the new leader of the DUP.

Mr Robinson, the current finance minister, is viewed as the clear favourite to take over after Ian Paisley steps down in May.

Pakistan's victors may lack strength to oust Musharraf

But Malik said most senior members of the Pakistan Muslim League-Q, the pro-Musharraf party, had lost their seats. He said those who had won were not so strongly affiliated with the party as to be unacceptable.

One compelling reason is that Sharif's party is the strongest in the important province of Punjab, Pakistan's most populous. It is likely to form the government there, and so should be part of the national one, too. Any national government that does not have the Punjab government on board is intrinsically unstable, the party officials said.
