Once again for the umpteenth time within the hour, the internet is enraged. But this time, it’s completely understandable. What's going on? A motorcyclist was riding along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 when a sedan from the opposing lane rammed into him, sending metal flying all over the road. Online chatter Facebook users have called for the driver to be punished harshly, ranging from jail to a lifelong ban on driving. According to the person who submitted the video, the motorcyclist has been admitted to the hospital and is recovering well with no major injuries. Some more positive netizens have wished the rider a speedy recovery (pun fully intended). There is currently no information on the driver’s condition while driving or his well being. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

The president of the FIA, Jean Todt, has revealed that Michael Schumacher is making good progress in his recovery. The champion had a near-fatal skiing accident in 2013. This is a surprising news as Schumacher's family has been very private about his health updates. However, The Sun, revealed that Todt often visits Schumacher and watched the recent German Grand Prix with him on TV. “I’m always careful with such statements, but it’s true. I saw the race together with Michael Schumacher at his home in Switzerland,” Todt said. “Michael is in the best hands and is well looked after in his house. He does not give up and keeps fighting.” Sadly, Todt revealed that Schumacher has problems communicating with him. “His family is fighting just as much and of course our friendship cannot be the same as it once was. Just because there’s no longer the same communication as before. He continues to fight. And his family is fighting the same way.”

Any can recommend where to go? Need to recover data from my damaged drive. Thanks

Hi, my PC went into system recovery mode and I selected an option that reads roughly "restart as a brand new PC". The data in the hard disk seemed to be wiped out. Is there anyway recommended data recovery software that I can use to retrieve the lost information ? Thanks your your help.

Those who buy on future money, There Will Be No Economic Recovery. Prepare Yourself Accordingly.

or a worse dip coming??? bad omen is that our garhmen finance minister say double dip unlikely, but their words like 'golden years' are like reverse indicator [laugh] [laugh]

hi guys, Need some help, friend's laptop suddenly shut off while connected to the external HDD and now the external HDD got some problem. anyone can advise how to recover the data or something? any help will be greatly appreciated guys. Thanks in advance Cheers

Hi, I got a hp with mini SD card. and out of sudden, the data in mini SD card lost. any software that i can use to recover the data as much as possible? thanks

My sister had this portable HDD in NTFS or FAT32 mode. She formatted it in her mac before copying everything to the mac first Now my question is whether I can use freeware to recover the entire volume for her. She did a simple format only, not something really drastic like writing data to the HDD. I told her to try Data Rescue II which is for mac. But i'm wondering whether there are issues with the data being on an NTFS/FAT32 volume previously. and whether there are free windows apps which can recover from HFS volume. i know there are such tools but they cost abt 80 USD or so and i'm cheapo... I'm also not intending to pay someone to do it cos from the other thread on data recovery, it seems like it costs a few hundreds to do it. I rather try it myself. in any case her data isn't really worth much though i'd like to try to help her if i can.

The share Market all over the world bounce rapidly... ST Index bounce back by 128.02 today... The financial package intro by US & European country boast the confident of the invester... waht do you think?

Does anyone have contacts for data recovery? Went to Sim Lim and kenna scared off when 3 different shops have conflicting diagnosis (some say virus, some say HDD spoil and another one say the password mgr corrupted...) and quoted some unbelievable fees up to $400. I am IT noob but not noob until like that. Not worried abt privacy stuff as the lappy is used to do word processing and generate letters.

Hi guys, Background: My car's going to be two years old. It's dark blue in color, close to being black actually . Due to poor EXTERIOR maintenance (For the record, I love my car BUT due to family commitments, I've been very busy & simply just couldn't afford the time to wash the car myself), my car's body is riddled with scratches, swirl marks etc. I would say, out of a 5-level rating of how bad it is, my car would be about 3! Thru these two yes, my car was sent for polishing/waxing 4 times. In between that, I cleaned the car at those $6 car petrol-station car wash. The swirl marks all over my car body was quite obviously caused by poor polishing/waxing methods. These were hidden after waxing. And I did not send my car for those don't-know-who's anyhow-wax shops. I spend about $150 on each polishing/waxing work prior to this. And guys, try not to send your car to those petrol-station car-wash if you can. Some of these fellas really scrub until the dirt/sand on their cloth cause sratches on the cars they wash. Recovery Work So, seeing my car in the state that it is, I've been looking around for paint-recovery services around our little island. I didn't just want a cosmetic polishing/waxing job that would hide the flaws under a hard/thick layer of wax. Yesterday, I decided to try Imperial-1 at Toh Guan Center when I saw the advert in Hot Stuff mag, which I regularly buy. To cut the story short, the Ops Manager called Paul Ong served my well. He gave me a convincing demo & answered all my questions confidently. After agreeing to the work, they worked on my car from 11am till 6pm. When I collected my car, it's basically like the day I collected my car new! No joke guys! The car just shines with this wet look! The reflections on the car was amazing - heck even my face looks ham-some ! Of course, the deeper scratches are still there if you scrutinize the car but most of the minor scratches & swirl marks are gone. My ONLY REGRET is that I didn't bring in a good camera to show the car in detail & close-up. I've attached a photo from my hp camera to share. The details for the Imperial are as follows: www.imperial1.com 21 Toh Guan Road East #03-01 Toh Guan Center tel: 6791 9979 Ops manager Paul Ong hp 8111 4425 disclaimer: I've no share or stake whatsoever in their shop/business, I'm just a satisfied customer. Scouts honor!

Spinal Cooling Key To Everett's Recovery BUFFALO, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (CBS/AP) Doctors are following the playbook in treating Buffalo Bills football player Kevin Everett's severe spinal cord injury except in one notable regard: pumping icy cold saline into his veins to try to prevent further damage. Although the treatment is experimental, it is more science than science fiction, and also is being tried on stroke and brain injury patients. Everett's prognosis remains uncertain. His doctors were encouraged by signs on Tuesday that he could move his legs and arms - a day after saying he stood little chance of making a full recovery. They also have said that his spinal cord was intact rather than severed - a very good sign. Doctors say that it is far too soon to know whether he will be left with any paralysis or its extent. "Walking out of this hospital is not a realistic goal, but walking may be," Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, the team's orthopedic surgeon, said at a news conference in Buffalo on Wednesday. "We have every hope and anticipation he will walk," said Dr. Barth Green, chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine, who has been consulting with doctors in Buffalo. The procedure, while experimental, is not new and, according to Dr. Green, is based on years of laboratory work, capped by the quick, collective efforts of physicians and health professionals who attended Everett once he fell. The reason Everett's situation has improved, Dr. Green suggested, was because the cooling has been applied so quickly: "It's definitely the first time it's ever been done so early after an injury. "He was handled properly," Dr. Green told CBS' The Early Show. "He was rushed into an ambulance, properly positioned. They dropped his body temperature immediately 15 minutes after the injury, which is a world record. And all that came together with good surgery and good care." Everett suffered a fracture and dislocation of his spinal cord in the neck area during a game Sunday night against the Denver Broncos. Watching it on television from home was Dr. W. Dalton Dietrich, scientific director for the Miami Project, a spinal cord program affiliated with the Miller School of Medicine. The program is among several in the United States that has led research into moderate hypothermia, or cooling the body a few degrees to try to limit swelling, inflammation and the cascade of events and chemicals that cause further damage after an initial neurological injury. Dietrich sent an urgent e-mail to fellow neurosurgeon Dr. Green, who knows Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson. Who did what next is unclear, but doctors say Everett received the experimental cooling therapy in the ambulance, even before X-rays and other tests could show the extent of his injury and the treatment he would need. The goal of the treatment is "to cool the tissue a few degrees to reduce its need for oxygen and to reduce its metabolic rate" and limit secondary damage from chemicals the body releases after the initial injury, said Dr. Elad Levy, a University of Buffalo neurosurgeon who treated Everett. On Monday, as Everett's temperature began to rise, doctors decided to try cooling his body again, using a slightly different system. This time, a hollow tube called a catheter was inserted into the femoral vein in the leg near the groin. Cold saline was circulated inside the catheter, indirectly cooling the blood as it flowed through the vein. "We did this here at the University of Pittsburgh in the '70s," but with a different method of threading a catheter directly over the spinal cord, Maroon said. The treatment had to be done within three hours of injury to have any benefit and was extremely cumbersome, he said. For that and other reasons, it was largely abandoned until recently, when doctors have resumed testing it through different cooling methods for stroke and brain injury patients. "There's no reason around the world we don't give patients this treatment where they are," Dr. Green said, "whether they have a heart attack or spinal cord injury, because the paramedics are there within minutes so we have the opportunity." "There are compelling reasons why one might want to try it" in a case like this, said Dr. Gary Steinberg, chairman of neurosurgery at Stanford University. He had no role in Everett's case but has tested the body cooling treatment. "Not a lot is known about it for spinal cord injury," said Steinberg, where it mostly is done in some stroke and head injury cases under an experimental protocol. Other aspects of Everett's care are more routine. He received large intravenous doses of methylprednisolone, a steroid to limit inflammation and swelling, and had decompression surgery to relieve pressure on his spinal cord. Doctors initially operated from the front of his neck, removing the injured disk and bone impinging on the spinal cord, and realigned it. They filled the space where the disk had been with a bone graft - whether from a cadaver or his hip isn't known - and put in a titanium plate to stabilize the neck area. Surgeons then turned him over and operated from the back of his neck, fusing the vertebrae above and below the fracture, and putting in four screws and two small rods. Long-term results from such operations can vary widely, said Maroon, the Steelers' surgeon who published a paper in the April issue of Journal of Neurosurgery on this topic. He has operated on about 30 athletes. But whatever the extent of Everett's recovery, a return to his career on the field is not likely, said Dr. Joseph Maroon, team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers and a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center specialist who was consulted on Everett's case. "If he ever does regain function, no neurosurgeon would ever permit him to play football," Maroon said. On Wednesday, Everett was successfully removed from the respirator though doctors say it could be a struggle to keep him breathing on his own. A stroke and blood clots in his legs are other possible complications they are trying to prevent. He showed more ability to move his legs and a little more in his arms, but has no movement or function at all of his hands. He is getting nourishment from a feeding tube, and his mother is at his side. "She understands that this is a life-changing event," and that "the story will change over months to years," said Dr. Kevin Gibbons, another University of Buffalo neurosurgeon who has been treating Everett.
