As a vet in practice, I've come across a number of incidents of animals being shot by airguns, but it's rare for such cases to be followed through all the way to a court case in this way. It's often difficult to prove the identity of the shooter: in densely built-up housing estates, there could be dozens of people with airguns, and unless somebody is caught in the act, it's not easy to get definitive proof.
Cats, rather than dogs, are more commonly the victims. Unfortunately, some people see cats as vermin, seeing shooting a cat as no worse than swatting a fly. I have treated dozens of cats that have been shot with airguns.
Sometimes they have been lucky, with only a small wound, and the pellet ending up embedded deep in muscle where it has not caused serious damage. On other occasions, the outcome has been far worse: one pellet entered the eyeball, which had to be removed because of the extensive damage. Another pellet had severed the spinal cord, and the cat had to be euthanased because it would never be able to walk again.
And of course, I have found air gun pellets during post mortem examinations of animals that have been found dead.
On every occasion involving air gun pellets, I - and my staff - feel a strong sense of outrage that a human has deliberately inflicted suffering on the animal. And there is also a fear that this may be the beginning of something more serious: evidence shows that once a human has inflicted injuries on animals, they are much more likely to inflict similar injuries on humans. There are proven links between physical abuse of animals in the home and abuse of humans at a later date. If an animal is found with airgun pellet injuries, there is a risk that it could be humans next.
The owners of Foggy, the dog shot by the "parish council chairman", have started a campaign for increased controls on air gun ownership. They have collected thousands of signatures in a petition, which their MP, Norman Lamb, plans to present to the home secretary. Why should high-powered airguns be so readily available, when other guns are tightly controlled?

WWE Raw Diva Mickie James is currently suffering from a hyperextended elbow, which has caused her some discomfort and numbness. Due to the injury, she's being used sparingly, but still working because WWE heavily relies on her to help layout the matches, keep the matches going and the fans interested at shows. James is expected to be given some time off from house shows as a result. The injury occurred during the recent European tour, which is why she was taken out of matches except as referee or timekeeper. James believes she is okay enough to work, but officials are being careful as she is invaluable to the division. Trainers feel she should rest another week or two before moving back into regular action.

Anoche te escribi una carta,esa carta que jamas veras.Esa carta que esta en mi vida,y con mil recuerdos de nunca olvidar.Anoche te escribi en mis suenos,en aquellos suenos que nollegaran.Esos suenos que atras se quedaron,y que de mi mente nunca escaparan.Anoche te escribia versos,con los sentimientos que quedan atras.Con esos recuerdos que nunca se borran,y ni con mil besos nunca escaparan.Anoche te escribi esta carta,con una y mil triztezas que no leeras.Esta carta que esta en nuestra vida.Y en mi corazon nunca borraras.Anoche te escribi en mis suenos en los dias triztes que quedan atras.En aquellos dias donde avian distancia,y en los viejos tiempos que no volveran.Anoche te escribi un te quiero, con aquellas lagrimas que quedan atras.Con los sentimientos mas puros y tiernos,y con las nostalgias de de amarte aun mas.Anoche te escribi te quiero,con esas palabras que no olvidaras.Con los sentimientos que estan en mi mente,y una hoja en blanco de nunca olvidar.Anoche te escribi una carta con aquella tinta que no boraras,con esos recuerdos que jamas se olvidan y con las triztesas que pueden pasar.Anoche te busque en los suenos en aquellos suenos que pude olvidar.En las cosas bellas que hay en mi vida y en esas palabras de amor por guardar.Anoche.Cerre sentimientos de largas triztesas que quedan atras.Donde el sentimiento se aferra atu mente y del corazon no puede escapar.Anoche te escribi te quiero,con mis sentimientos, y el fruto de amar.Esos tres retoños que son nuestra vida,y en mi corazon nose pueden borrar. anoche te escribi esta carta,con la tinta de mi alma que no leeras.Esta carta que tiene recuerdos y que en nuestra vida siempre tu tendras.

My colleague Iain Martin is pinning his hopes on a credit-crunch baby boom to save the economy. But there's a more selfish reason to get reproducing - it could well be the best thing for your child.
On the face of it, this seems unlikely - surely families should wait to have kids until they can afford to feed and clothe them, not to mention send them to expensive schools or tutoring sessions?
Not so, says Malcolm Gladwell, in his new book Outliers (which I've been reviewing for the Telegraph). One of the reasons for the success of the generation born in the 1930s in America, he believes, was that they came after the economic and demographic boom of the 1920s.
The secret was - their parents' finances apart - that the country had built all these schools and hired all these teachers, but now had fewer pupils to put through them. Instead of being stuffed into overcrowded classrooms, the small cohort of Depression-era kids had attention and resources lavished on them, not to mention finding it ridiculously easy to get into decent universities.
Whether this applies now is a slightly different question - after all, if Iain's credit crunch baby boom does materialise, new children will have the worst of both worlds, struggling to stand out in overcrowded schools and universities at the same time as their parents are unable to make up the deficit by paying for music lessons or educational holidays in the Med.
But if the birth rate does indeed fall, it's worth taking a punt that the bad times won't last forever. It might be a struggle for a few years, but think how much more of your nursing care your young millionaire-to-be will be able to pay for.
Hard disc drives are incredibly reliable but they are one of the few components in your PC that is sure to fail one day. If your computer is more than 4 or 5 years old and it has been well used then the disc drive could well be on borrowed time.
Of course, it could soldier for another ten years, but it's probably quite full by now, and if Windows is taking longer to load, freezing or crashing then you may be thinking about buying a new PC. There is an alternative, though, and that's to replace the drive. Apart from anything else it's a lot cheaper than a new computer and the extra capacity should buy you a few more years of use.
It's really not that difficult and if you can wield a screwdriver and have half an hour to spare you can do it. What's more you can recycle your old drive and use it as a storage or backup device. Needless to say there are a few complications, not least the palaver involved in re-installing Windows, your programs and copying data files from the old drive. It might not even be possible to reload Windows if your PC didn't come with an installation disc, though there are ways around that, as we shall see.
We'll be looking at the nuts and bolts of hard drive replacement next week but the first thing to do is find out what sort of drive you have in your PC so you can order a replacement. If it is more than four or five years old it is probably an IDE type, more recent PCs use Serial ATA (SATA) drives. Physically they look very similar in fact the only significant difference is the way they connect to your PC's motherboard. IDE drives use a 5cm wide flat ribbon cable to carry the data, and they have a chunky white power connector with four thick wires whereas SATA drives use much smaller connectors and narrower cables, around 1cm wide, for both data and power. One glance inside your machine should tell you which type you have and to help you remember here's a little rhyme that I just made up, ‘if the plug's wide, it's IDE'.
Unless you use your PC for unusually demanding applications, like high-end graphics, video editing or very large databases then there's no need to get too hung up on performance figures. Concentrate on size, and as usual, the bigger the better. There's no need to skimp and if you shop around online you can find very respectable 500 - 650Gb IDE and SATA drives from major manufacturers (i.e. Hitachi, Maxtor, Samsung, Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital) selling for less than £70.
There are two ways you can proceed, so let's start with the quickest and simplest option, which is to c
