The system registry is a global repository of information. A machine's OS and applications read from and store configuration information in this repository. Microsoft introduced the registry in Windows 95. Windows 3.1 had a system file called reg.dat that was a systemwide database that contained information about all the OLE objects registered on a given machine. Microsoft expanded the reg.dat file into the registry.
This column is the first in a series that will guide you through the jungle of keys and values in the registry. I won't teach you how to hack the system—just where to search for the information that you or your applications need. If you access the registry for read-only purposes, all is fine. Otherwise, keep your attention at the highest level because the registry is a delicate data structure in which inconsistencies can cause serious damage to the entire Windows system.
In this registry series, I'll describe the registry's layout in terms of the files that form it and in terms of the data organization. I'll examine the registry's content and give insights about how to back it up. In this first installment, I discuss the registry's internal structure and the tools you need to work in it.
The Registry Tool Chest
The tools you need to work in the registry depend on the tasks you want to perform. To read and write registry content, you need an interactive graphical tool or a scriptable object model. To search the registry for a certain piece of data, an interactive graphical tool is best. Windows OSs offer two interactive graphical tools: regedit and regedt32. Regedit, which is called the Registry Editor, is available on all Windows systems. Regedt32, which is called the Win32 Registry Editor, is available only on Windows 2000 and Windows NT. Both registry editors let you search, read, and write registry contents.
If you know exactly what to read or write in the registry and you want to perform that task programmatically, you can take advantage of a scriptable object model. To write a script that manipulates the registry, you can either use the registry editors' declarative language or leverage the simple, yet effective, set of methods that the Windows Script Host (WSH) object model provides. Before you can use WSH or the registry editors, you first need to understand the registry's structure.
The Registry's Structure
Microsoft used a hierarchical layout that resembles a tree to organize all the information in the registry. The registry has several main nodes, or hives. Each hive contains an unlimited number of subnodes, or keys, and elements. Each element represents a leaf value, or entry. An entry consists of a name and some numeric or string content. Registry entries have a data type that is part of a fixed set. In general, the data types in the fixed set evaluate to numbers or strings.
The registry contains two basic types of information: user-specific settings and machine-specific settings. These settings can apply to both Windows and user applications. In addition, the registry contains information about the Windows system, including static data (e.g., data about installed drivers) and dynamic and volatile data (e.g., data about loaded drivers).
As Figure 1 shows, the main registry hives are
- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. This hive contains information about registered objects and classes, including COM components, documents, and types of objects (e.g., folders, printers, drives).
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This hive contains configuration information about a single user. Although HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a subset of the HKEY_USERS hive, it appears on the same level as HKEY_USERS because HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a virtual hive. Virtual hives simplify access to subsets of large hives.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This hive represents the machine as a whole and stores all its hardware and software settings.
- HKEY_USERS. This hive contains information about all users.
- HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG. A subset of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, this hive contains configuration information about the current configuration of the machine. Like HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG is a virtual hive.
For backward compatibility with the Windows 3.1 reg.dat file, each hive can have one unnamed entry plus any number of named entries. Microsoft retained this unique unnamed entry because in Windows 3.1, hives had just one entry. Consequently, that entry had no name and was commonly referred to as the hive's default value.
In Win95 and later, the unique unnamed entry in the registry continues to be called the default entry. The registry editors use the display name of (Default) for this entry. Like all other entries, the default entry has a data type.
The Registry Editor
Figure 1 shows the Registry Editor for a Win2K machine. (This tool's UI is slightly different on other versions of Windows.) The left pane contains a treeview that lists all the main hives. If you select a hive in the left pane, the right pane contains all the entries available for that hive. The Registry Editor lets you edit, rename, and delete hives and entries. However, you can't delete the default entry.
The Registry Editor also lets you perform searches with the Find command. You can search for hives or keys with a certain name, or you can scan the stored data for a match to a whole or partial string. The Registry Editor's Find command works similarly to Microsoft Word's Find command.
Other interesting commands in the Registry Editor are Import Registry File and Export Registry File. The Registry Editor can export portions of the registry tree in a text-based file format called the REG format. This format provides a description of all the hives and their entries. The REG file format also works with importing. When you import a valid REG file to the Registry Editor, the program makes sure all the described nodes exist with the specified entries and content. To import a REG file, you can either use the Import Registry File command in the menu or specify the filename on the command line. In addition, because REG files are registered with the Registry Editor at the shell level, you can double-click any REG file in Windows Explorer to submit the file's content to the Registry Editor.
Figure 2 illustrates the typical content of a REG file for the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt branch on a Win2K machine. The first line in Figure 2 is a header. Square brackets enclose each hive's name. The hive's entry-value pairs appear after the name. Double quotes enclose the entry names and values. The at (@) sign identifies an unnamed entry. Pathnames need a double backslash to differentiate them from registry hives.
In Win2K, the Registry Editor has an additional capability: a menu that lists all your favorites hives for faster access. However, the Win2K's Registry Editor reopens on the same key you had open last, which might not be too helpful.
The Win32 Registry Editor
Figure 3 shows the Win32 Registry Editor, a tool available only on Win2K and NT machines. The Win32 Registry Editor's Registry menu provides the Save Key and Restore commands. These commands offer the same functionality as the Import Registry File and Export Registry File commands in the Registry Editor. However, the Win32 Registry Editor doesn't support the REG format, so you must save and restore files in a binary format.
The Win32 Registry Editor's File menu provides the Save Subtree As command, which creates a text file like the one that Figure 4, page 13, shows. For the keys, the file gives the date and time of the last write, which can be useful for logging purposes.
If you need to create new values, the Win32 Registry Editor gives you more alternatives than the Registry Editor. With the Win32 Registry Editor, you can create entries of any data type; with the Registry Editor, you can create only entries of the string, 32-bit number, or binary data type.
The most important difference between the two registry editors is that the Win32 Registry Editor has a Security menu and can show permissions on a per-user basis, whereas the Registry Editor doesn't. The system registry is subject to security restrictions; using the Win32 Registry Editor, you can set permissions for each hive in the overall tree. However, you can't set permissions on a single entry, which means all the entries in a given key will have the same read and write permissions for a certain user or group of users. You can decide whether all the children inherit the key's permissions.
Using WSH
Neither registry editor can help you when you want to programmatically read or write to the registry. Instead, you can use VBScript and WSH to take advantage of the methods that the WScript.Shell object exposes. First, you need to use the CreateObject method to create an instance of the WScript.Shell object with code such as
Set shell = CreateObject _ ("WScript.Shell")
Then you can use the object's three methods: RegRead, RegDelete, and RegWrite.
To read an entry in the registry, you use RegRead. This method takes one argument: the name of the entry to read. If you want to read the hive's default entry, you put a backslash at the end of the hive name. The code in Listing 1 gives an example of how to read the registry. This code reads the registered name and organization of the owner of the Windows software on the local machine.
To delete a registry entry or hive, you use RegDelete. This method also takes one argument: the name of the entry or hive to delete. Under Win2K and NT, RegDelete deletes a hive only if it's empty—that is, it doesn't contain keys. Under Win9x, the deletion works recursively and RegDelete automatically deletes any child keys. A node is considered empty only if it doesn't contain child hives, no matter how many leaf values it contains.
To write to the registry, you use the RegWrite method, which takes three arguments. The first argument specifies the registry entry to write to. If you want to write to the default entry, you put a final backslash after the key name. The second argument is the value to write. The optional final argument is a string denoting the value's data type. If you omit this argument, the method defaults to REG_SZ (i.e., a string).
The code in Listing 2 gives an example of how to write to the registry. This code replaces the existing text for the infotip (i.e., text that provides information at the shell level) that appears for the My Computer icon under Win2K and Win98. If you're running NT or Win95, this code will work only if you've installed Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 4.0 or later with the Active Desktop update. (For information about this update, see "Customizing the Windows 2000 Active Desktop," August 2000.)
A string containing two environment variables—%USERNAME% and %COMPUTERNAME%—replaces the existing text. These variables represent the machine's user and name, respectively. More important, the script changes the data type to REG_EXPAND_SZ, which informs the shell that elements in the string need expansion. Figure 5 shows the results from running the code in Listing 2.
Next Month
As I just mentioned, Listing 2 changes the data type to REG_EXPAND_SZ. I'll discuss this data type and the others next month.

Great news on Gus!
Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).
Gus Poyet has undergone keyhole surgery on his knee and is confident of a playing return in four to six weeks.
The freescoring midfielder was unable to hide his delight on Monday at Spurs Lodge as he relayed the news that there are no further complications after the operation on his Meniscus and there is no cruciate damage.
This encouraging outcome is a far cry from reports that suggested Gus would be out of action for eight months and some extreme stories about his playing career being under threat. Gus explained that the original report leant very much towards the worst case scenario of cruciate damage and, as Glenn Hoddle insisted on Thursday, minor surgery was likely to be the solution.
"No cruciate, no medial ligament, no nothing! It was only a typical Meniscus injury - it happens in football," beamed Gus, who then recalled reading the reports of a lengthy injury absence.
"If it had happened three or four years ago I might have thought I didn't explain myself properly or that my English was poor.
"I think I was quite clear. I said it was a big decision because if I had one operation I could be out for one month to six weeks and if I had cruciate surgery it would be six to eight months.
"The next day in the papers it was 'Poyet out for eight months'. There were even worse things around the world, in Spain they reported that I was thinking of stopping playing football.
"It was quite funny, especially after having a little operation that means I will be out for four to six weeks.
"I had the operation last week to repair the Meniscus that was blocking my knee, especially with stretching. It was clear in there and apart from the Meniscus everything is fine."
Gus went on to explain that the success of the operation has cleared his mind of uncertainty and he cannot wait to get going again.
"The bad feelings in my head went away, so now I'm feeling confident again and just thinking about the recovery.
"I'm so pleased. I'm so pleased because there were too many things going around, also in my head. It doesn't matter if you're 20 or 34 - all you want to do is play football," added Gus, who reports that he can start light training very soon.
"When a cartilage is removed you have to wait a little while for another protective cover to grow. After five or six days you just get on with a normal recovery.
"Next week I will start running a little bit and every day a little bit more. With this kind of injury, after ten days it is already healed and you don't have to wait two months.
"I know a player in Spain who played just nine days after one of these operations, but we are all different. Normally, people say to you between four and six weeks."

In Good Hands chiropractor: practice opens in Wolfeboro with assistance from WEDCO
Dr. Renee Tetreault cites whole body, whole life benefits of chiropractic care
WOLFEBORO — Just in time for those New Year's resolutions for better health, Dr. Renee Tetreault opened In Good Hands Chiropractic, PLLC, on Elm Street, an endeavor brought forth with many local helping hands, in fact.
After earning her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Life University in Marietta, Georgia, and spending the requisite amount of time earning credit hours and passing four national boards to become licensed, Dr. Tetreault set her sites on opening her own practice in Wolfeboro. She chose Wolfeboro as her husband, Matt Tetreault, works as a guidance counselor at Tuftonboro Elementary School and she also worked locally at other chiropractic practices – filling in for vacations and such -- after earning her license. In March 2016, she "jumped in with both feet," and when she met with a business mentor from SCORE Lakes Region, he recommended she speak with the Wolfeboro-based WEDCO [Wentworth Economic Development Corp.], a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote and support businesses and the creation of employment opportunities by providing development assistance and financing.
Left to right: In Good Hands Chiropractic, PLLC, Practice Manager Claudia Kay and Dr. Renee Tetreault at the newly opened practice on Elm Street.
And that's what she did.
Dr. Tetreault reached out to WEDCO Executive Director Denise Roy-Palmer and the two met in April of 2016. Armed with a solid business plan, financial information, projections and so forth, she completed the WEDCO loan application and was approved for two separate loans totaling $50,000 to start the practice.
"What's unique about WEDCO is they work with five banks to get you the financing," she said. "Denise was wonderful – she had quick responses to my questions, she asked questions about the business plan to clarify a few things via email. It really was a painless process to work with them," said Dr. Tetreault. "They are very, very nice people. And what they are doing is amazing." She also liked the fact the WEDCO loan program does not penalize for early payoff. "That was a huge priority for me, too," she added.
It's all connected. Dr. Renee Tetreault uses a model of the spinal column to instruct her patients on the connectivity of chiropractic care to overall health.
Centrally located with plenty of parking, In Good Hands Chiropractic, PLLC, is located in newly renovated space at 16 Elm Street in Wolfeboro.

Lawson's Dry Hills Pinot Gris 2008
Winemaker: Marcus Wright / Rebecca Wiffen.
Alcohol: 14% pH: 3.55 RS: 6.5 g/L
TA: 5.1 g/L Brix: 23.5 - 24
The 2008 vintage provided long ripening days with cool nights allowing the development of intense aromatics and tropical fruit flavours. Off dry, our 2008 Pinot Gris shows ripe pear and melon aromas with spiced apple and citrus flavours. A small amount of noble botrytis has added rich apricot and wild honey characters, producing a rich round palate with great weight and length. A portion of this wine was fermented in seasoned French oak barriques adding depth and complexity.
This wine will drink at its best over the next two to three years.
Food Match
Enjoy in moderation with freshly grilled crayfish.

TiZwine.com Tasting
As you would expect from this winery, a high class wine. It is soft and luscious with a beautiful, unctuous texture. The aromas are of Turkish delight and the palate displays good fruit weight. Will keep improving too.
Capital Times
Has a lovely pear aroma entirely appropriate for the style. There are also spicy notes and a hint of vanilla on the nose. A full mouth feel and a balanced pear and apple off dry palate make this a Pinot Gris of style.
Otago Daily Times
Floral with hints of summer fruit, a hint of oatmeal and nuts, this finely textured wine is full in the mouth, with layers of texture and a lingering aftertaste.
The Press (Christchurch)
Lawson's Dry Hills is known for making one of the best New Zealand Pinot Gris and this one will reinforce that reputation. Attractive confectionary and friuty flavours are backed by good concentration and a medium sweetness, which skillfully balances the grapefruit-zest finish.
Nicely fragant nose reminiscent of green apple juice. Palate is well flavoured and constructed with a hint of sweetness, citrus, pear and tropical fruits. Good firm mouthfeel. Well made.
Wine Orbit
FIVE STARS - 93 points. The nose is rich and opulent showing dried apricot, floral and subtle spice characters. It's powerful and concentrated on the palate with a silky texture, weighty mid palate and a beautifully lingering finish. simply gorgeous. At its best:now to 2011.

Guess what's just around the corner: SUMMER! That means no more hiding under those wool sweaters. It's time for some keys to either toning up (for most of us ladies), or bulking up (for most guys). Here are my tips for gaining quality lean muscle in record time.
Tip #1: Protein is not a bonus, it's a requirement. Without at least 30 percent of each meal in the protein category, you set yourself up for muscle depletion. Add a high quality whey protein shake before bed to help you burn fat and build lean muscle during your sleep. Add half a banana and it will also help you sleep better.
Tip #2: Put something in your mouth every two hours. It doesn't have to be something big or calorie dense; some nuts/seeds, raw veggies will do the trick in between your bigger meals. This is the quickest way to burn fat and gain or tone muscle. You must keep your metabolism burning all day long.
Think of your metabolism as a furnace. The veggies and other complex carbohydrates are the kindling to start the fire. The good fats and proteins are the logs that keep your fire burning all day. Sugars and other simple carbohydrates are the equivalent of throwing paper on your fire. They burn up instantly and do absolutely nothing for your metabolism.
Tip #3: Be sure to get adequate amounts of your fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K). But make sure they are in the form of food or whole food supplements and not synthetic vitamins. These vitamins are necessary for the production of testosterone, which is the hormone responsible for muscle development. And yes, even women need some testosterone.
The Standard American Diet (SAD) is highly depleted of these important fats. This leads to inadequate production of testosterone and, consequently, poor muscular development. Without these vitamins, your body is unable to properly absorb cholesterol in the diet to make steroids in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the "energy houses' of the cells, so if they're not working right, your energy will be at an all time low as well.
Tip #4: Resistance training, such as weight lifting or using tubing/bands, is an obvious essential for muscular development. Resistance train at least three times each week (around 45 minutes per session) for best results, with some cardiovascular training in between. For faster muscular development and growth, train with heavy weight and low repetitions (for example, four sets of 5-8 reps). If you are toning, go with light weights, tubing, and/or bands, two sets with repetitions in the 12-20 range.
Tip #5: Consistency is the key. Don't give up! When you start to get bored with things, change your routine. When you get past the feeling of wanting to slow down or quit, you're in the clear. By then it becomes part of your lifestyle.
My personal recipe for muscle building and toning: deep sea fish, free range chicken, grass fed bison/venison/ beef, liver, egg whites and yokes, raw milk, raw butter, cod liver oil, coconut oil/milk, whey protein powder, raw veggies and brown rice.
It is important to use free range and grass fed meats in order to preserve the Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which is the fat that keeps you thin and strong. Grain fed meats will cause increases in cholesterol, atherosclerosis and heart disease. Also, steer clear of other grains besides the brown rice while muscle building/toning, these will cause you to hold excess estrogen and thus retain water. Happy training: the beaches are waiting!

The Thermals' punkish brand of indie rock is definitely not made for moping, even when the Portland, Ore., trio are contemplating love gone wrong. Their 2006 album, The Body, the Blood, the Machine, is a pointedly political tale about a young couple trying to escape a fascist regime of religious zealots, while their new album, Personal Life, takes a closer look at the politics of love, from heartfelt promises to outright lies.
I recently spoke with drummer Westin Glass about Personal Life and the band's plan to rock the socks off the Annex on Oct. 2.
Why did you guys do an album about love this time around?
I brought the song "I Don't Believe You" to practice not long after I joined the band in 2008. Then [bassist/vocalist] Kathy [Foster] had this bass line that became the basis of "Never Listen to Me" and [guitarist/vocalist] Hutch Harris wrote the lyrics. We realized these songs were about love and lies, and as we got more into writing, these ideas became more of a focus. So the love theme wasn't a calculated thing, but it helped us pace the record. It also helped us tell a story but leave it open-ended.
What surprised you most about the final product?
Each of us wrote our own parts, and it was surprising how well that worked. Not surprising like, "Wow, I can't believe that worked," but surprising how well it worked. I was also surprised how quickly some of the songs came together. At least half of the record was written in the last two or three weeks before we went into the studio to record. They were just the right songs for this record, and the whole process was really fun and inspiring.
Who's your musical hero at the moment?
One musical hero is Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top. He wrote an autobiography that's also a picture book of amazing, weird guitars and all the hot rods he owns. I just checked it out from the library, and I can't put it down. He's such a cool guy, and ZZ Top was an incredible band.

Sister City Program - Lancieux, France
2017 marks the 17th Anniversary of the Program!
Whitehorse, Yukon and Lancieux, France began a Sister City program in 2000. The two cities honour their friendship by flying the flag of their Sister City once each year.
Check out our special Anniversary messages to Lancieux, August 2015 (partly in French).
Merci a l'Association franco-yukonnaise!
The flag raising ceremony was followed by a celebration and reception.
These two cities are connected through the life and work of poet Robert W. Service, a British poet especially renowned for his writings about Northern Canada. After leaving the Yukon in 1912, Service moved to France and bought a cabin in Lancieux. It is the great affection he had for these towns that still brings the sister cities of Whitehorse and Lancieux together today.
Lancieux and Whitehorse have organized several youth exchanges since 2000, when a delegation of Yukon Francophone youth read the proclamation in both official languages at the signing ceremony in Lancieux.

|Draft Social Security (Inherited Serps) Regulations 2001
Mr. Paul Burstow (Sutton and Cheam): I appreciated the manner in which the Minister outlined the regulations. Perhaps more than on any other matter, there must be clarity and certainty about the scheme. As the Minister said, people will not want to have to make further inquiries.
The Minister was right to acknowledge the systemic and chronic failure that led to this position. Everyone has commented on the recognition and acceptance of any blame, if there is blame to be shared. The Minister described the Herculean efforts of the Department to construct a compensation scheme, and to ensure that the scheme is completely snag-free. In November 2000, he and the Government were right to acknowledge the arguments that came from many directions and which were nicely capped by the Public Administration Committee's report on the targeting of the compensation scheme. Under the plan, the burden would still have been on the individual to get in touch and take the matter to its conclusion. Despite the Department's acceptance of the need to publicise widely the existence of such a scheme, that was not an appropriate policy to follow. Therefore, we welcome the way in which the scheme is constructed.
However, one or two issues remain to be clarified. The Minister rightly says that there is no longer a cliff edge for this scheme; the introduction of a taper over 10 years eases the transition and creates for the first time a proper transition period for people who are affected. However, a group of pensioners exists who will be in the first tranche of changeby examining past parliamentary answers, one may calculate that there are as many as 320,000. Over the next four years, they will have to make new arrangements to cover the extra 20 per cent. that they will no longer receive through inherited SERPS. That is a short time in one's working life in which to make alternative arrangements. Therefore, will the Minister say something more about the arrangements for ensuring that those pensioners who will inherit or be the beneficiaries of an 80 per cent. increase in SERPS inheritance will be made fully aware of the fact that it will only be 80 per cent., and that they will have to make alternative provision?
The second issue relates to a point raised by the hon. Member for Beckenham (Mrs. Lait) about compensation. If I remember rightly, in exchanges after the statement in November and since, the Government have acknowledged that some people will have sustained individual loss as a consequence of being actively misled because of inquiries that they made at the Department over the years. Those people will have made investments and decisions about their finances that will result in a loss. Will the Minister answer the hon. Lady's question about the burden of proof? The onus should be on the Department to disprove that the person has been misled. The process that would calculate the extent of financial loss is a different question, but will the Minister tell us something more about the compensation scheme? How will those people who have not made themselves known to the Department but may have every right to compensation, be notified? Will they be notified as part of the general campaign, or will the Department run a separate exercise for them?
Finally, over what period will the publicity campaign run? There is always an initial burst of energy and effort in such campaigns. The Minister referred to the advertising campaign with the working dogs, which had to be reduced for a while. Given that the process spans 10 years, does the Department have a view about whether there might be periodic fresh bursts of advertising to remind people of the existence of the scheme? On the other hand, does the Department envisage using the annual pension statement as the vehicle for delivering that message over time?
The Public Accounts Committee report comments on the Department's uncertainty about its ability to maintain accurate address details for all prospective pensioners. As a consequence, the Department is uncertain whether the message will reach those people through the mail. What impact will that have on the Department's ability to get annual pension statements to them? The most effective way of helping people who want to know how large their pension will be on retirement would be to tell them their entitlement under inherited SERPS at the same time as sending them the statement.
We welcome the regulations, which include everyone who is affected and enable everyone to have some certainty.
10.19 am
Mr. Allan Rogers (Rhondda): I had better declare an interest, in that I am probably the only one in the Room to be affected by these regulations. I make a peculiar observation pertaining to paragraph 2. I am not seeking answers, but merely making an observation. Having received a letter telling me about my entitlement, I confess that I did not have a clue what it meant. I have searched through paragraph 2, and the first thing that I said to my wife was, ``If I cannot understand it, I am blowed if my constituents will.''
The letters going out have an imprimatur from the Plain English Campaign, but I think that the letters are a load of bleeding gobbledegook. This morning I tried to read paragraph 2, but it leaves me cold. I am glad that I am leaving the House and going back to geologyat least that is a simple science, which can be easily understood. I do not know whether the Minister has seen a copy of the letter, but it is not understandable.
10.21 am
Mr. David Rendel (Newbury): I start by apologising to you, Mr. Cummings, and to the Minister and the rest of the Committee for arriving late today. I am afraid I had a domestic plumbing emergency at the last minute, which prevented me from being on time.
My hon. Friend the Member for Sutton and Cheam (Mr. Burstow) and I welcome the new regulations, as, I suspect, do almost all hon. Members . They are certainly an improvement on the Government's first attempt to overcome this problem. When the Government produced their first attempt to resolve the problem, I was shocked when the right hon. Member for Haltemprice and Howden (Mr. Davis), the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, approached me in the corridor and asked, ``Do you realise that you have just cost the Government £8 billion?'' ``What on earth do you mean?'' I asked, and he answered, ``As a result of your putting this issue to the Public Accounts Committee, the Government have had to come up with a scheme costing £8 billion.''
Ascribing the entire scheme to my efforts was a little generous. I simply wrote to the National Audit Office asking it to investigate. Many other people played an important part in getting the Government to right the terrible wrong done to pensioners under the previous Government, not least of whom was the previous leader of the Liberal Democrats, my right hon. Friend the Member for Yeovil (Paddy Ashdown), the first person to send the matter to the ombudsman. The ombudsman also played a major part in the matter.
I am grateful to all those who were instrumental in persuading the Government to change their mind. This is certainly a much better scheme, but I have two questions. On the matter of compensation, how much of the expected cost of £12 billion will be paid to those who genuinely claim to have been misled? Have the Government yet estimated that cost?
Secondly, as I asked when the original scheme was introduced, is it possible for a surviving spouse to make a claim after the person who originally paid the SERPS contributions has died? The problem may not come to light until the relevant person's death, when the surviving spouse realises that he or she may not receive the full SERPS pension that had been expected. At that point, it is important that the possible compensation scheme will not have come to an end, and that the surviving spouse can demonstrate, by producing a letter found amongst their dead spouse's papers, for example, that that person had been misled and that compensation is, therefore, due. I would welcome the Minister's assurance that surviving spouses will still be able to make a claim.
10.24 am
Mr. Rooker: I am grateful to the members of the Committee for the points that they have made, and for the general support that they have given the regulations. I shall do my best to answer the questions raised.
First I shall answer the question asked by the hon. Member for Beckenham. When the issue of inherited SERPS was being actively raised in the House and we were considering what to do, we used advertising to invite people to contribute to a consultation on the scheme. By November 2000, we had received 20,000 letters.
Before writing to every pensioner in the country8.3 million householdswe contacted those 20,000 people on our database directly. We explained the proposed scheme to them. As a result of that consultation, we decided to revert to the burden of proof that would apply in ordinary circumstances. Arrangements already exist to deal with compensation if the Department is guilty of maladministration, giving false information or misleading people in relation to any other benefit. However, different arrangements were going to apply in relation to the inherited SERPS scheme. As everybody said, including the ombudsman, the burden of proof lay with the Government. A citizen would only have to say, ``I was misled'', ``I misunderstood'', ``I read something, I don't know what it was'', or ``I was told by a neighbour across the garden fence'', and he would be able to claim compensation for not having made the necessary arrangements for his spouse. No records, nothing in writing, no letters and no telephone call reports would be necessary. People told us that we would be setting up a scheme that invited citizens to lie, institutionally, to make a claim.
Having scrapped that proposal, we decided on a scheme in which existing pensioners will be fully protected and will receive 100 per cent. provision when there is a death before 2002. The issue is therefore whether there are people out there who can prove, over and beyond that, that they were misled and that they lost out. According to the latest figures on compensations claims, 138 have been issued, 23 claim forms have not been returned, 115 claims have been received, 51 have been cleared, the average length of time taken to clear is 17 days, 64 are outstanding and one has been withdrawn. The current figure for the amount of compensation awarded is £149,000. We have made one award of £2,800 and four awards amounting to £31,000. We have paid out three claims under £2,000, 11 between £2,000 and £2,999, five between £3,000 and £3,999, seven between £4,000 and £4,999 and nine of more than £5,000. The highest amount that we have paid out is £10,500. The lowest is £1,600. The average is just under £4,000.
Those awards are to people who have made a claim and can prove that they suffered a financial loss because they were misled by the Government. That is the normal system of financial redress of maladministration. It happens throughout Government. The burden of proof was to be a wholly different arrangement under the proposed inherited SERPS scheme. There was to be no requirement on citizens to come forward with papers. If they had them, fine, we would make inquiries, but if they had no proof, we would still have to accept the claims if they had made them in good faith.

Nidalee Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
this build is based off on gang plank (crit plank). gang plank and Nidalee can both good for crit because you have skill to self heal.
going mid gives a great advantage for levels and gold
you want to start off with boots so you can harass. if you have full mana go hit the opponent for some damage and if your hurt use your heal. your heal also gives you great attack speed. when being pushed to your turret use you heal for attack speed then switch to cougar and press w,e,q over and over till minions are dead. this method also works for jungle creeps.
when you have got all 3 avarise blades, boots, phantom dace, and infinity edge and have enough for a bf sword/blood thirster sell a avarise blade for bf sword/blood thirster.
same goes for second phantom dance and second blood thirster.
dont give up too early because this build gets stronger and stronger every item. once you get a blood thirster to have a second source of heal. getting avarice blades help get gold quick.
once you get infinity edge you will crit about 75-80% of time for 400+ damage and will start two hit creeps getting massive amount of gold

Article - 8 John Bassett of Madron (1790- 1868)
John Bassett lived for seven years in the colony of Victoria before he died in Sailors Gully, in the borough of Eaglehawk.[i] He arrived in Victoria in 1861 on the SS Great Britain with his wife and some of his extended family.[ii] The first location I can confirm was in 1866 when he was living in his own weatherboard home in Eaglehawk.[iii] His widow Martha continued to live at the property on Lester Street in 1869 after his death until her own death in 1882.[iv]
|Memorial Marker on Burial Plot # 34G, Eaglehawk Cemetery, Eaglehawk, Victoria, Australia
John Bassett Snr's Residence (rates books)
Yr 1866, #169, Bassett, John; Sailors Gully, Weatherboard and Land, Valued at £17.[v]
Yr 1867, #175, Bassett, John; Sailors Gully, Weatherboard house and Land, £4. [vi]
Yr 1868, #166, Bassett, John; Miner; Lester St; Weatherboard house and Land, £6.[vii]
Yr 1869, #479; Bassett, Martha; Widow Lester St; wood house and Land, £20.[viii]
Yr 1881, Bassett, Martha; Lester St; £13.[ix]
Yr 1882, Bassett, Martha; Lester St; £13.[x]
After arriving in the colonies John Bassett (Snr) was an active lay preacher in the California Gully Wesleyan Church.
The "Wesleyan Methodist church did not have a residential minister until seventeen years after its beginning. This fact, combined with the pre-existing Methodist emphasis on lay ministry, meant that Eaglehawk soon established a tradition of a very active laity" which our research indicates includes such people as John Bassett Snr. It was noted in The Methodist History of Victoria and Tasmania that he was known as Grandfather Bassett.
"Mr John Bassett, known as Grandfather Bassett, was a much-loved and esteemed local preacher and class-leader; also was Mr T. Featonby and others, whose names cannot be erased by time, as their works follow them. Mr Bassett was called Home at 80 years of age in 1869"[xi]
He performed the burial ceremony for a John Holman of Eaglehawk who died at the age of 18 months on the 25/3/1866[xii] The founder of the Methodist church, John Wesley, "advocated open air preaching and encouraged the laity to perform tasks traditionally belonging to the clergy".[xiii] Several "ministers" were usually appointed in a circuit (area) to preach itinerantly and to conduct some church rites, of which funerals would have been one. This also helps to explain why there were no Clergy present at his own burial.[xiv]
Active in the local church, he was surrounded by family who was also living in Sailors Gully according to the rates books.
Timeline of Family Events between 1861 and 1868

The launch of the second generation Apple TV back in 2010 was a little underwhelming to say the least and while the possibility of an iTV at some stage this year is very exciting, a third generation Apple TV could be on its way very soon.
The people over on 9To5Mac have unearthed some information about the Apple TV in the iOS 5.1 B software. In the same way they discovered the iPad 3 in the iOS 5.1 Beta software, we see that the next generation Apple TV is codenamed "J33" and "AppleTV 3,1"
The code also reveals that the new Apple TV will feature low power Bluetooth 4.0 but beyond that, little is known for certain. So what could we be seeing in the updated Apple TV? Among the possibilities are 1080p support, a faster A6 chip, some internal storage to allow downloads, the inclusion of the App Store and vastly improved codec support.
We may not have to wait long to find out however as most major retailers in the US are listing the second generation Apple TV as out of stock and with the iPad 3 launch all but confirmed for the first week of March, we could be looking at a dual announcement in San Francisco by Tim Cook.
Let us know in the comments below what you would like to see in the updated Apple TV and whether you might be holding out for the Apple iTV which could be launching before the end of 2012.

The 4th annual Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song was awarded to Burt Bacharach and Hal David, and funnyman Mike Myers helped honor the two songwriters by singing their hit, "What's New Pussycat" along with some signature charisma and dancing.
With President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama sitting front-row center, it makes for a pretty memorable performance.
The award celebrates lifetime achievement for artists who use song to promote musical expression and cultural understanding, but manages to have a little fun along the way (there's a surprise ending!).
The celebration also included performances by Sheryl Crow, Diana Krall and Stevie Wonder.
It airs Monday, May 21 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS.

After teaching advanced mathematics for over ten years at suburban Roosevelt High School, Pat Forrester moved across town to Lincoln High to work on a new curriculum project. Pat knew how to excite students about mathematics, and was especially proud of the fact that even her most advanced courses at Roosevelt had always included about 10-15% minority students--nearly twice the national average. She had worked hard to be sure that all her students met course goals and high standards.
As it turned out, Pat's AP calculus class at Lincoln was unlike any she had ever taught: 9 African-Americans, 6 Hispanics, 5 Asian, 3 white. Pat couldn't help wondering whether these kids would have the same drive as her students at Roosevelt. Who would set standards for the class? Could she use her usual assignments? Would they get her jokes? Could they learn this stuff? What if many of them failed?
Anxiety and confusion are not uncommon emotions for mathematics teachers facing students from diverse cultures, especially those with little tradition of success in mathematics. Indeed, most teachers of advanced mathematics have had little experience with ethnically diverse classes. In contrast to their colleagues who teach English or history, mathematics teachers can't really say how (or even whether) a mathematics course should change if the class looked like America instead of like a corporate board.
The multicultural nature of American society offers a distinctive opportunity to prepare students to compete in an international economy. Yet the subject with the worst record of equity--mathematics--is the very subject in which poor performance is the most consequential. Weakness in mathematics cascades into many areas of education and employment, frequently leading to withdrawal from school and failure to get jobs.
More than individuals in any other country, Americans attribute success in mathematics to talent, not effort. Moreover, teachers and parents often underestimate the mathematical potential of students who do not fit their preconceived stereotypes. Labeling kids as poor, minority, or female, however well meaning, just provides excuses for low expectations. Yet the evidence from effective schools shows that all students can learn mathematics when provided with the right environment and resources. Unfortunately, most Americans don't believe strongly enough that achieving equity is worth real effort.
A modest goal for equity is that all students leave high school well prepared both for the world of work and for postsecondary education. Thus achieving equity requires comparable outcomes, not just equal opportunities. Since students do not learn mathematics at the same rate or in the same manner, equal treatment rarely will yield comparable results. Indeed, research shows that differences among individuals in mathematical performance vastly exceed differences between groups. Just as thoughtful parents provide different diets for children with different nutritional needs, teachers need to provide different approaches for children with different mathematical needs.
Most schools think this is being done already. Their solution is tracking--the dominant faith of mathematics education. Yet ironically (perhaps even perversely) tracking provides the least nutrition for those who need it the most. The results are easy to see: group differences on nationally normed tests primarily reflect differences in what students have studied--in courses taken or curricula offered. Our system of differentiated expectations actually magnifies inequities; yet everyone, it seems, buys into this system.
Teachers carefully match each student with a curriculum they believe the student is capable of learning. Principals join the conspiracy by assigning the least experienced teachers to students whose needs are greatest. Activist parents go along too, so long as their own children get the benefits of the best courses and best teachers.
But some kids, predominantly poor and minority, get relegated to a mathematical wasteland of general and consumer math--the sediment of the layered curriculum. These are nothing more than dead-end options, and remedial programs intended to compensate for lost years are, by and large, expensive failures. To put an end to this travesty, the new mathematics standards boldly set high achievement by "all students" as a primary goal of school mathematics. This requires nothing less than high expectations and commensurate instructional resources for all students in every grade. Effective instructional programs, like high performance manufacturing, seek to prevent failures rather than correct them.
For decades, mathematics has been used as the great sorter and selector, as the critical filter for high paying careers. But it could as well be the great equalizer--not only for the pocketbook, but also for the mind. Mathematics enables children to know that they are right without depending on adult authority. No other subject confers so much power on children.
Unfolding the intrinsic power of mathematics was the secret of Pat's success at Roosevelt. But mathematics--contrary to popular opinion--is deeply influenced by the contexts in which it arises, and these contexts are not culture-neutral. Students in ethnically diverse classes, in confronting a challenging curriculum, can see that mathematics can be approached in many different ways and that everyone struggles with tough problems. In such classes students--and their teachers--can learn from direct experience that white kids don't have a math gene any more than do black or brown kids.
Experience can change beliefs. Skeptics can become believers. Some schools even in areas of poverty perform well above average. If some can do it, why can't others? Because most people don't really believe that it is possible for all students to learn algebra and geometry. That's where equity begins: with strong belief in high expectations for all.

Celebrate World Water Day March 22
SUMMARY: In light of World Water Day, reevaluate your diet to make sure you're consuming enough water, and find ways to conserve this precious resource.
Posted: March 20, 2013
Friday, March 22 is World Water Day, an event that helps to educate individuals across the globe about the importance of water conservation and why this resource is so beneficial to a person's health. This annual event is held to advocate the management and sustainability of this resource, and the theme of this year's event is water cooperation.
In light of the global event, the Wellness Committee of the Bermuda Hospitals Board released a fact sheet of the importance of water as a part of one's regular diet. Here are some of the benefits of water that the whole world should be able to take advantage of:
The wonderful benefits of water
Staying well-hydrated is great for the body and mind, and helps to keep the memory sharp and the body feel more motivated. If you ever feel like you're dragging throughout the day - think to yourself, "how much water have I consumed today?" Water keeps your kidneys functioning properly and your skin elastic, so there's never a bad reason to drink a few extra glasses!
Water helps to keep the mouth healthy and fresh. Drinking water after a meal can decrease the probability of halitosis, because it helps to wash away the food particles that were caught in between the teeth and the bacteria that sit at the back of the mouth. Water is also a great way to get rid of dry mouth! If you're experiencing dry mouth, it's likely that you may also have bad breath. Those food particles and bacteria are just hanging out in your mouth.
Conserving water is a major point of this event, and there is actually a way that you can conserve your intake of fluids each day. Did you know that you won't need to drink as much fluid if your diet is rich in fruits and vegetables? If you are able to switch from a meat-centered weekly diet to one based in vegetables and grain, you'll still get the proper amount of liquids. Most vegetables have a water content of 90 percent, and the ones with the highest amount include celery, cucumber, iceberg lettuce and zucchini. If you find that you frequently experience halitosis, switching to a veggie diet during the week could help alleviate this issue. It's not necessary to give up meat all together, but cutting it out of your everyday diet could help.

What is the Master Gardener Program?
The EMG program in Minnesota is an educational program designed to train volunteers to help other people in their communities with horticulture. The program was created in 1977 and is administered by the University of Minnesota Extension Service. Most counties in Minnesota have active EMG's. Volunteers receive professional training in home horticulture by university specialists in exchange for volunteer time. This training sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners and allows them to be effective resources in their local communities. Working with local county Extension offices, EMG activities benefit schools, community education programs, garden centers, farmer's markets, historical sites, and many other programs.
To become an EMG, you first must enroll and be accepted in your local county Extension program. Upon acceptance in your home county, you then take the
Extension Master Gardener Core Course, taught in the winter/spring.
Master Gardeners are required to volunteer
50 hours the first year and
25 hours annually thereafter. Active volunteers are also asked to participate in continuing education of 5-12 hours per year, depending on the county in which they volunteer.
Some activities of EMG's include:

Bomb squad dispatched to Presidio in S.F.
(04-21) 23:58 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Police Department bomb squad was dispatched to the Presidio on Monday night after U.S. Park Police pulled over a man driving a pickup truck carrying an "unspecified explosive device," said U.S. Park Police spokeswoman Alexandra Picavet.
Part of the Presidio was cordoned off Monday night and two businesses were evacuated in an orderly manner at Marina Boulevard near the Sports Basement store, according to witnesses.
The suspect was taken into custody, Picavet said.
The truck was stopped less than a mile away on Old Mason Street near Crissy Field with law-enforcement officers surrounding it late into the night. By 11:45 p.m., police had partially opened the road to traffic.
A Park Police officer pulled over a man driving a truck about 8:30 p.m. and smelled marijuana, said U.S. Park Police Lt. Pamela Smith. The driver said he had fireworks in the truck and handed the officer an explosive device.
"The officer at that point could not determine whether or not it was in fact fireworks," Smith said.
The San Francisco police Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit was then called in and were conducting a chemical test, Picavet said.
"We have closed and evacuated the area until experts with the (bomb squad) can tell us what's in the back of the vehicle," Picavet said.
