Wings' Hasek appreciates, but is not slowing
Goaltender, now 43, says he's learned to "enjoy every moment," and Wings have too. Ted Kulfan / The Detroit News DETROIT -- Dominik Hasek was pretty proud of himself.

MTB News and Notes: A conversation with Greg Minnaar; New power at ...
Minnaar still managed to give a post-race interview, despite the pain. Then, in the off-season, Minnaar learned that Honda was ending its sponsorship of the G Cross-Honda team, the squad Minnaar has led since 2005. Minnaar's understudy, teammate Matti Lehikoinen, inked a deal to lead Intense Cycle's team, but Minnaar remained without a team through much of the fall. Salvation came from the California-based Santa Cruz Syndicate team - for 2008, Minnaar will ride alongside the hard charging, hard drinking duo of Steve Peat and Nathan Rennie. VeloNews caught Minnaar on the phone as he was heading into a house party near his home in Pietermaritzburg. .
Amazon.com: Will you recognize it in 10 years?

Posted in: General Software Infrastructure Web Technology Utility computing Amazon Enterprise 2.0 Amazon's fourth quarter results had a little bit of everything for its various observers: Sales were impressive and the outlook wasn't bad, but worries about profit margins are worrisome. But amid all the talk about consumer demand, growth abroad and adding third party sellers to Amazon's platform the "other" line on the company's breakdown of revenue is far more interesting. Why focus on "other" revenue when the fourth quarter tally was a mere $111 million, up from $81 million a year ago? That other line, which includes Amazon's Web services, is the future of Amazon.
Digital Camera Essentials
Nobody realises how important backing up their personal data is, until it unexpectedly goes missing. Our step-by-step guide will make it simple to preserve your precious photographs, videos and other digital memories. Backing up data remains one of the great challenges for most PC owners. It's not hard to imagine the potentially disastrous consequences of your computer losing all its files, whether that's because of an unexpected hard drive crash, your house burning down, or even the theft of your machine. The popularity of digital cameras means we have more and bigger files than ever before, and such information is virtually irreplaceable. Yet despite the fact that it's much easier (and cheaper) to make copies of such files than it is to reproduce an old-fashioned photo album, we remain quite slack about safeguarding our information.
Back when Neptune Beach voted against consolidation
This column began on the coldest morning of the winter, so far. It was a good time for thinking about the past. After a brutal swim and then a crisp waffle and pot of decaf coffee (a sign of my age) at the Village Inn, my research began online with Donald Mabry's Beaches history Web site. H.E. Lighty became mayor of the "town" of Neptune Beach just six days after my birth in 1947. He was in office from Aug. 12, 1947, until 1963. (No term limits back then.) Mabry gives him credit for overseeing the change from "the town into the city of Neptune Beach." I admit a bias. Mayor Lighty helped send me to Washington, D.C., when I was a patrol boy, circa 1956. My only personal memory of Lighty was at a thank-you dinner. Sergeant Cates, the sponsor of the patrol boys, introduced me to him.
