Pork Chops with Sweet Potato Gravy
- 4 thick pork chops, 6 to 8-ounces each
- 2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced onions
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 pound sweet potatoes, baked, peeled, and mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 3 tablespoons pure cane syrup, such as Steen's 100 percent Pure Cane Syrup
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
- Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
Season the pork chops with the Essence.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chops and cook until brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to a warm platter and cover to keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the flour and, stirring constantly, cook until the roux is dark brown, the color of chocolate, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until wilted. Add the pecans, water, salt, and cayenne and mix well. Bring to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and blend to make a smooth mixture. Stir in the syrup and green onions. Return the pork chops to the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer until the pork is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, basting the chops with the gravy.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Garnish with parsley.
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup

The University of Louisville Birth Defects Center is a collaborative effort of nearly 40 researchers and physicians from multiple departments in the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and Arts and Sciences. Established in 2000, the Center's overall mission is the pursuit of knowledge of developing biological systems, and the application of that knowledge to improve the diagnosis and treatment of birth defects in order to reduce the burdens caused by such disabilities be affecting their prevention.
One of the many specific research efforts in the Center focuses on the identification of genes responsible for specific developmental anomalies. A rationale for identifying such genetic culprits is to be able to test for the presence or absence of genes that would predispose women of child-bearing age to the risk of giving birth to a child with a particular birth defect. Other research efforts include, but are not limited to, neuronal sequelae of sleep apnea, causes of autism, genetic correlates of craniofacial anomalies, the molecular basis of neural tube defects, causes of diabetes, identification of genes responsible for congenital night blindness, cell signaling and infertility, epigenetics and altered cognition and developmental toxicity of exposure to cigarette smoke exposure.

Atlantic cod
The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, is a well-known demersal food fish belonging to the family Gadidae. It is also commercially known as Cod, Codling or Haberdine [1].
In the western Atlantic Ocean cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and round both coasts of Greenland; in the eastern Atlantic it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, areas around Iceland and the Barents Sea.
It can grow to two metres (6 1/2 feet) in length and weigh up to 96 kilos. It can live for 25 years and sexual maturity is generally attained between ages 2 to 4[2], but can be as late as 8 years in the northeast Arctic[3]. Colouring is brown to green with spots on the dorsal side, shading to silver ventrally. A lateral line is clearly visible. Its habitat ranges from the shoreline down to the continental shelf.
Several cod stocks collapsed in the 1990s (declined by >95% of maximum historical biomass) and have failed to recover even with the cessation of fishing.[4] This absence of the apex predator has led to a trophic cascade in many areas.[4] Many other cod stocks remain at risk. The "Atlantic Cod" is labelled VU (vulnerable) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Northeast Atlantic Cod fish
The Northeast Atlantic is the world's largest population of cod. By far the largest part of this population is the North-East Arctic Cod, as it is labelled by the ICES, or the Arcto-Norwegian cod stock, also referred to as skrei, a Norwegian name meaning something like "the wanderer", distinguishing it from coastal cod. The North-East Arctic Cod is found in the Barents Sea area. This stock spawns in March and April along the Norwegian coast, about 40% around the Lofoten archipelago. Newly hatched larvae drift northwards with the coastal current while feeding on larval copepods. By summer the young cod reach the Barents Sea where they stay for the rest of their life, until their spawning migration. As the cod grow, they feed on krill and other small crustaceans and fish. Adult cod primarily feed on fish such as capelin and herring. The northeast Arctic cod also shows cannibalistic behaviour. Estimated stock size was in 2004 1.6 million tonnes.
The North Sea cod stock is primarily fished by European Union member states and Norway. In 1999 the catch was divided among Denmark (31%), Scotland (25%), the rest of the United Kingdom (12%), the Netherlands (10%), Belgium, Germany and Norway (17%). In the 1970s, the annual catch rose to between 200,000 - 300,000 tons. Due to concerns about overfishing, catch quotas were repeatedly reduced in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2003, ICES stated that there is a high risk of stock collapse if current exploitation levels continue, and recommended a moratorium on catching Atlantic cod in the North Sea during 2004. However, agriculture and fisheries ministers from the Council of the European Union endorsed the EU/Norway Agreement and set the total allowable catch (TAC) 27,300 tons.
The spawning stock of North-East Arctic cod was more than a million tons following World War II, but declined to a historic minimum of 118,000 tons in 1987. The North-East Arctic cod catch reached a historic maximum of 1,343,000 tons in 1956, and bottomed out at 212,000 tons in 1990. Since 2000, the spawning stock has increased quite quickly, helped by low fishing pressure. However, there are worries about a decreased age at first spawning (often an early sign of stock collapse), combined with the level of discards and unreported catches. The total catch in 2003 was 521,949 tons, the major fishers being Norway (191,976 tons) and Russia (182,160 tons).
Northwest Atlantic cod
The northwest Atlantic cod has been regarded as heavily overfished throughout its range, resulting in a crash in the fishery in the United States and Canada during the early 1990s.
Newfoundland's northern cod fishery can be traced back to the 16th century. "On average, about 300,000 tonnes of cod was landed annually until the 1960s, when advances in technology enabled factory trawlers, many of them foreign, to take larger catches. By 1968, landings for the fish peaked at 800,000 tonnes before a gradual decline set in. With the reopening of the limited cod fisheries last year [2006], nearly 2,700 tonnes of cod were hauled in. Today [2007], it's estimated that offshore cod stocks are at one per cent of what they were in 1977" [1].
Technologies that contributed to the collapse of Atlantic Cod include engine power vessels and frozen food compartments aboard ships. Engine power vessels had larger nets, larger engines, and better navigation. The capacity to catch fish became limitless. In addition, sonar technology gave an edge to catching and detecting fish. Sonar was originally developed during WWII to locate enemy submarines, but was later applied to locating schools of fish. These new technologies, as well as bottom-trawlers that destroyed entire ecosystems, contributed to the collapse of Atlantic Cod. They were vastly different from old techniques used, such as hand lines and long lines.[5]
The fishery has yet to recover, and may not recover at all because of a possibly stable change in the food chain. Atlantic cod was a top-tier predator, along with haddock, flounder and hake, feeding upon smaller prey such as herring, capelin, shrimp and snow crab.[4] With the large predatory fish removed, their prey has had a population explosion and have become the top predators.
Population tracking
Cod populations or stocks can differ significantly both in appearance and biology. For instance, the cod stocks of the Baltic Sea are adapted to low-salinity water. Organisations such as the Northwest Atlantic Fishery Organization (NAFO) and ICES divide the cod into management units or stocks; however these units are not always biologically distinguishable stocks. Some major stocks/management units on the Canadian/US shelf (see map of NAFO areas) are the Southern Labrador-Eastern Newfoundland stock (NAFO divisions 2J3KL), the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence stock (NAFO divisions 3Pn4RS), the Northern Scotian Shelf stock (NAFO divisions 4VsW), which all lie in Canadian waters, and the Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine stocks in United States waters. In the European Atlantic, there are numerous separate stocks: on the shelves of Iceland, the coast of Norway, the Barents Sea, the Faroe Islands, off western Scotland, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea and in the Baltic Sea.
Adult cod form spawning aggregations from late winter to spring. [6][7]
Females release their eggs in batches,[8] and males compete to fertilise them. [9][10][11]
Pelagic Larval Phase
Fertilised eggs drift with ocean currents and develop into larvae.
Age of maturation varies between cod stocks, from ages 2 to 4 in the west Atlantic, [12] but as late as 8 years in the northeast arctic. [3]
Cod can live for 13 years or older, but as late as 8 years in the northeast arctic.[13]

This week I moderated an executive roundtable at the U.S. Trade and Development Agency's "Egypt: Forward Forum." The forum was a two-day event in Washington that brought representatives from Egypt's energy, information and communication technology, transportation, and agribusiness sectors to discuss trade, investment and commercial opportunities with the public and private sector in the United States.
My roundtable included executives from two American companies that have been doing business in Egypt for decades, Citicorp and Boeing, and two from emerging Egyptian companies, Mobinil and Raya Holding. Each of the speakers hailed from different backgrounds and experiences, yet all had the same energy and excitement as they talked about the potential that lay before them in a new Egypt.
That potential, of course, has been amplified by the Arab Spring and the changes that have taken place in the region. Egypt now has the opportunity to unlock the potential of all its people -- men, women, and youth -- to drive Egypt's growth. There are ample challenges that need to be overcome before Egypt can realize its full economic potential. Egypt will have to undertake reforms to shed past legacies that have stunted private sector growth and make it easier to start a business, to invest, and to settle disputes.
But as I listened to Mr. Medhat Khalil, CEO and Chairman of Raya Holding, talk about growing his call center from two seats to 600 seats and the opportunities this growth represents, particularly to Egyptian women, I became even more optimistic about Egypt's potential and more committed than ever to our belief that a prosperous Egypt, supported by economic growth and a strong private sector, will be an anchor of stability for the region.
Progress will require courage and perseverance, qualities that Egyptians have in abundance. Our panel also discussed one of the challenges facing the development of the private sector -- access to financing. For our part, the United States is working to strengthen the Egyptian private sector on several fronts, including through OPIC financing, technical expertise from USAID, and here at the State Department, through programs like the Global Entrepreneurship Program that help support the budding entrepreneurial and business environment in Egypt and in the greater MENA region.
We realize, however, that the private sector cannot do it alone. It is vital that the Egyptian government play its part in ensuring that Egypt's business climate is welcoming and empowering for business. The United States will work to ensure that the revolution delivers on its promise, and we stand ready to support Egypt as it liberalizes not only its political system but its economy as well.

The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and Warner Bros. Entertainment are proud to present the trailer for the documentary Saving Lives Creating Hope. In the documentary, individuals from Haiti, Rwanda and Tanzania share stories about the impact of PEPFAR. Saving Lives Creating Hope is the unforgettable tale of the human spirit, bold leadership and the transformational power of partnerships in the fight against global AIDS.
Learn more about PEPFAR or view the documentary.
SNP in Syria writes:
HIV /AIDS are contracted by individuals who elect a risky permiscuos life style, it maybe fun one, but deadly. But what about the helpless animals that against their will is chopped up in slaughter houses for food products and is inhumanly tortured in lab experiments. Who should care about these critters? It is kind of oxymoron to call good treatment as humanly, because it is proven since September 01 that humans are far more cruel and vicious than wild animals can ever be. Unlike animals that kill to eat and survive, human kills millions for GOD (gold, oil, drugs) and NWO (No World Order).
Ron in New York writes:
Bush AIDS Policies: Insult Added to Misery.
The moral bomb dropped on AIDS victims by Bush,
exacerbated the challenge to provide prevention and care.
PEPFAR was a smokescreen for this backward policy.
Now, we must deal with the economics of sex trades
and Human Slavery, which will carry AIDS even further
to vulnerable populations.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
That was a moving documentary. Thanks for posting it.
Maybe some here don't appreciate the effort to save lives and indeed whole societies as being moral, but I wonder what would be said had nothing been done....
A "good beginning", is a bit of an understatement.
I remember reading an article some years back that did some number crunching to the effect that had nothing been done, that in some areas there wouldn't be enough healthy people by this time to take care of the sick, let alone maintain the infrastructure of their communities. It projected a complete breakdown of society in the hardest hit nations.
Quite the achievement to have not just stopped this from happening, but to have reversed that trend.
You have your doomsday movies like "The Andromeda Strain" that have plotted out the results of a fast moving virus run amock, but with HIV/AIDS we have a "creeper". Left unchecked, the results are the same for civilization as we know it.
And I think the CDC in Atlanta would agree.
With that in mind, it's my hope PEPFAR will continue to be funded to the max.

L'Anse library hosts strike exhibit
L'ANSE – "Tumult and Tragedy: Michigan's 1913-14 Copper Strike," a traveling exhibit created by the Michigan Tech Archives, is on display through March 27 at the L'Anse Area School Public Library, located in L'Anse High School. The library will be open 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
A special open house will take place on March 17. Jane Nordberg, managing editor for The Daily Mining Gazette, will present "Pulp and Propaganda: Newspapers in the Strike Era" at 1 p.m. The event and exhibit are free and open to the public.
The exhibit explores a turbulent period in Michigan's historic copper mining district. On July 23, 1913, members of the Western Federation of Miners took to the streets over grievances about pay and working conditions.
The strike was marked by violence, including the deaths of more than 70 people, mainly children during a Christmas Eve party at Calumet's Italian Hall. Local mining companies refused to recognize the union, however, and the strike finally ended in April 1914.
The conflict, sorrow, and tragedy of this confrontation between organized labor and mining companies affected local residents from all walks of life, created headlines across the nation, and continues to resonate in Michigan's Copper Country today.
The "Tumult and Tragedy" traveling exhibit consists of 12 panels and includes photographs, excerpts from newspapers, documents, and songs from the strike era.
A free giveaway brochure contains links to related web content about the 1913-14 Michigan copper strike online at 1913strike.mtu.edu.
The exhibit will remain on display at the L'Anse Area School Library through March 27 and then tour to two other locations in Houghton County. The exhibit was made possible through a $14,500 grant from the Michigan Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional funding was provided by Michigan Technological University, Cranking Graphics, and Dr. Robert and Ruth Nara.
For further information, contact the Michigan Tech Archives at firstname.lastname@example.com or 906-487-2505, or the L'Anse Area School Public Library at 906-524-6213.

When converting a recipe for bakers percent, is the hydration % related only to the flour weight ?

American soapstone is sought for bathroom vanities, kitchen sinks and countertops, fire pits, and other home renovation projects.
[caption id="attachment_315276" align="alignnone" width="444"] Brian Bell positions a giant soapstone extracted from the Blue Ridge Mountains by Alberene Soapstone Co.[/caption] Brian Bell surveys a 30,000-pound soapstone one last time, making sure the giant rock is perfectly aligned beneath a narrow belt saw positioned to slice the block into slabs, which are bound eventually for homes across America. �On a good day, I can cut 14 to 20 slabs,� says Bell, 58, a machine operator for Alberene Soapstone Co. in Schuyler, Virginia. �Every piece of rock is different.� Extracting soapstone quarried in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Alberene Soapstone Co. was founded in 1883 and is the only remaining supplier of American soapstone. Once used by American Indians to carve bowls and cooking slabs, the bluish-gray stone now is sought for bathroom vanities, kitchen sinks and countertops, fire pits, and other building and home renovation projects. �Everybody�s asking about American soapstone,� says Ben Arreguy, owner of Teresina Soapstone in Roseville, California, who began selling Alberene�s soapstone last year. �They like the idea that soapstone is matte finish, not high-polished, and doesn�t need to be stained or [chemically] sealed.� A metamorphic rock, soapstone is nonporous; heat-, acid- and bacteria-resistant; and feels �soapy� to the touch. It contains talc and has a veined, somewhat mottled appearance. During the 20th century, soapstone made its way into homes as laundry tubs and griddles and was used commercially for electrical components, laboratory sinks and counters. During its peak in the 1920s, Alberene was the nation�s largest soapstone producer, operating on 6,000 acres and employing up to 1,000 workers. However, numerous ownership changes, sporadic production cycles and increased exports, mainly from Brazil, nearly shuttered the operation until a group of investors bought the company in 2010 and reopened a dormant quarry. Today, with 21 employees, Alberene uses industrial saws, excavators and loaders to extract the stone. After slabs are cut and dried, a resin-mesh backing is applied for strength. Finally, slabs are machined to uniform thickness before being hand-polished. �Since 2010, our production has more than doubled,� says Pete Farley, 26, the company�s general manager. Meanwhile, market interest in the natural stone has revived among designers, builders and homeowners. Customers like soapstone�s �unpretentious� look and �comforting� feel, says Bob Blanchard, vice president of R. Bratti Associates Inc., a stone contractor in Alexandria, Virginia. Some customers have another reason for buying soapstone extracted and processed by the 131-year-old Virginia company. �What appealed to me was the idea of getting this gorgeous stone made in America,� says Rick Scobey, 57, of Washington, D.C., who chose Alberene soapstone for countertops and a fireplace in his Maryland beach home. �For people who want traditional material backed by a long story of American history and like quality and patina, it�s a stunning surface.� This article originally appeared as on American Profile

Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act
Government Orders
Kevin Lamoureux Winnipeg North, MB
Madam Speaker, it is worthwhile to note that the government has once again moved time allocation on a very important bill.
This is a budget bill. It is one of those bizarre ominous bills in which the government has made the determination to take what I believe is a cowardly act, bringing into this bill legislation that should have been standing on its own. I am referring to the environmental legislation.
What the government is doing, through the back door and by putting in time allocations, is undemocratic. Quite frankly, it is just the wrong direction for the government to be moving in with regard to the environment. The legislation is devastating to our environment.
Does the member agree with Liberals that the environmental portion of this ominous bill should have been stand-alone legislation? The government is wrong to bring it in through the back door in this ominous bill. Does the member agree?

Madam Speaker, I do not have to agree with just the Liberals, I am agreeing with over 100 of my colleagues who very demonstrably made this case in the House.
I participated in the processes to develop the current Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. I participated in the development of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. All of those processes were open, transparent and participatory. They occurred over many years.
Previously, under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, there was an advisory body consisting of industry, the provinces, the federal government and the public, to advise on proper implementation of this bill and to consider everyone's interest. In one full blow, inappropriately through a budget bill, with no opportunity for discourse or dialogue with the Canadian public, we have this absolutely reprehensible move by the government. I know that Canadians will chastise it for this. It is incumbent on the government to separate this bill and to open it up for proper review and discussion by Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, I am standing here today to correct some misinformation that is being perpetuated by not only this member but a number of members of the House of Commons with regard to the length of debate, et cetera.
I just heard my Liberal colleague from Winnipeg North make what sounded like a hypocritical statement about time allocation. In my hand I have the past 10 years of time that was dedicated to budgets. In the last 10 years, not a single other budget bill was debated longer than the 7 days we are about to do, the 28.5 hours we are about to do, in this House. Not a single other one.
Let me read for the member, and I would like to ask her to reflect on this because I am going to ask her a question about it: 1992, 11.2 hours, 4 days; 1996, 16.9 hours, 5 days; 2004, 10.7 hours, 3 days of debate; 2005 was the longest one at 21.8 hours or 7 days by the Liberals; and ours is 7 days, 28.5 hours.
Is the member prepared to apologize for the misleading information she has provided?

Mr. Speaker, this is the second time in two days that I have heard this comparison about a decade. I will remind the hon. member her government is responsible for six years of those. If time has been given short shrift, it is the Conservatives' responsibility. We can always compare to the worst-case scenario.
The point that other members in this House and I are making is it is not simply the length of the debate of a budget bill but the short-circuiting of discussion of significant policy matters, generally speaking, by the public of Canada who have a right to come forward and tell us their views on the many extraneous public policy issues in this bill. It is absolutely a disgrace.

Mr. Speaker, on the issue of the assault on democracy, one could not even read this bill in 28.5 hours. The bill is enormous. It touches on more than just how much money we are going to tax Canadians, which is what a budget is about. It touches on the environment, fisheries, pensions and so many things that are not supposed to be part of a budget, but they are.
I note the comments by my colleague for Winnipeg North about this being an "ominous" bill. I think that was a slip of the tongue as it is an omnibus bill, but I also think it is an ominous bill for Canadians. The bill is missing some things. There is nothing here for the burgeoning demand for public transit in this country. There is a huge infrastructure deficit, but the bill is completely silent on whether the government is going to attend to the problem.
On immigration, my colleague for York Centre suggested that we are just getting rid of the people who are on the faint hope list. However, this has nothing to do with getting rid of people on a faint hope list. This has to do with people who have discovered that the government gives them faint hope because it changed the rules after their application was in. After a couple of years, it decided to cut them off the list and give them some of their money back. These people have spent countless sums on legal fees, tests, police checks, et cetera, that they will never get back. The Conservative government is completely uncaring about the huge devastation it is causing those would-be immigrants from other countries by leaving them on a list for 10 years and then cutting them off.
The bill has nothing on the huge increase in fuel prices in my riding in the past few weeks and months. I hear about this daily. Ordinary Canadians are worried that they will not be able to afford to get to work and that seniors will not be able to afford to get to the doctor. Seniors' pensions do not go up by the amount that fuel prices have gone up in the last little while. The government is completely silent on it.
The government suggests that the bill is about jobs. Well, according to the Parliamentary Budget Officer, whose reports the Conservatives do not like, the bill would actually cost the economy 43,000 jobs. That is a lot of jobs. The Conservatives' oft-touted figure of how many jobs they have created since the recession ignores the fact that they have been in government for much longer and the number of people looking for work has gone up. The percentage of people in the workforce who cannot find a job has gone up significantly since the Conservative government took office. It is all well and good to say that there was a recession and we are back, but we have done nothing about creating the structures in this country to create full employment. This budget does nothing more about it.
On pensions, the Conservatives talk about how there is a crisis. There is no crisis. In fact, the crisis they claim is because baby boomers are retiring. However, their solution exempts most baby boomers from the solution as baby boomers would continue to get the full OAS and GIS. It is the people who come after the baby boomers who are going to be shortchanged. They will be penalized doubly: they would have to pay for the baby boomers because the government says it is a crisis, but they would get nothing in return.
Canadians are going to wake up and smell the coffee at some point, and realize that the Conservative government has got it wrong and there is not a crisis. There may be crises in other countries that spend significantly greater amounts of their budgets on pensions, but not here in Canada where we spend a small fraction of what is spent in other countries on basic OAS.
What I really want to tackle the government on, and I should not be doing this in the context of a budget bill but it is in there, is the elimination of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the replacement of it with the Canadian environmental evisceration act. The decision by the government to incorporate this in a budget bill has nothing to do with budget, it has nothing to do with spending of money. However, the government's suggestion that it is stronger is absolutely wrong, and I will give some examples.
The definition of an environmental effect in this budget is significantly different from the definition in the old act. The old act suggested the environment is land, water, air, et cetera, and that has not changed, but the environmental effect is the effect of any change on such things as wildlife, critical habitat, individuals, health and socio-economic conditions of human beings, physical and cultural heritage, and the current use of land and resources. That is not in the new bill. The new bill talks about environmental effects as being: fish, as defined in section 2 of the Fisheries Act, which is changing; aquatic species, as defined in section 2 of the Species at Risk Act; migratory birds, as defined in subsection 2(1) of the Migratory Birds Convention Act; and any other component of the environment that is set out in Schedule 2.
I will read Schedule 2. That is a moment of silence for the environment because Schedule 2 is empty. There is nothing there.
The government suggests that it would protect the health and environment of human beings. It is not in this bill. It has left it out. The minister can make regulations under Schedule 2, but he can also change them. He can also decide not to have any regulations. It is very clear that the old act was very specific. It protected the environment, not just of fish, birds and the air but of human beings, their culture, heritage and dwellings. That is missing from this bill. It does not go unnoticed by this side of the House that it is a reduction in the protections that would be available to the environment by the government.
There is another big change in this act. The old act talked about needing environmental assessments any time there were projects, which included any physical work, proposed construction, operation, modification, decommissioning, abandonment, undertaking and proposed physical activity. There is a good definition of what a project is. The new act talks only about designated projects. The minister would get to decide what a designated project is. He would make regulations under section 84 for the definition of a designated project. Therefore, not everything that we have come to expect would be assessed. That is gone. The minister would get to decide which things will be environmentally assessed. As a result of that discretion being left to the minister, based on the current minister, woe betide the environment. That is not very helpful to the environment, abandonment of what can go on.
I do not have enough time to go into the machinations of what this bill would do in many other areas. Unfortunately, I will not have time to do that in part because time allocation has been applied by the government, which, with its majority, is determined to cut off debate. That debate would be cut off before I could even read all of the portions of this bill that would affect Canadians in an adverse way.
We now know, and it does not take much reading to discover, that the government's agenda is about helping its friends in the oil patch. In particular, with the definition of "designated project", I am willing to bet there will be a whole bunch of things that will not need an environmental assessment any longer. When those environmental assessments happen, the government has said that they will be streamlined. They will take two years, no more and no less. If a project takes longer to study it, if it is that big, if it crosses all of Canada and takes longer, should we not do it right rather than rushing to do it wrong and harming the environment?
The definition of "sustainable development" is still the definition that existed in the previous act. However, it is not going to be possible to have sustainable development under this act if the government, as we suspect, abandons its responsibility to study many of the projects that are now being studied and if it abandons its responsibility to study those elements of the environment that are important to human beings and not to just fish, birds and other wildlife.

Mr. Speaker, West Coast Environmental Law says:
For decades, Canadians have depended on the federal government to safeguard our families and nature from pollution, toxic contamination and other environmental problems through a safety net of environmental laws. Today's budget would cut up this environmental safety net...
It further states:
A robust, sustainable economy depends on a healthy environment. The multi-billion dollar clean up costs from the Exxon Valdez and the Gulf oil spill remind us that it is citizens who pay the price when things go wrong.
Does the hon. member think that the environmental sections of this bill should be hived off, as the Liberals have called for, and sent to committee for public scrutiny in a clause-by-clause study?

Mr. Speaker, the NDP as well has determined that this portion of the bill—and perhaps several other portions, but this portion in particular, which deals with the environmental assessment changes—has nothing to do with budgets. It has nothing to do with whether we tax people or whether we give people back their money. It has to do with protecting the environment, and it ought to be studied in much greater depth and by the right parts of the government, meaning by the environment committee and the environment departments rather than by the finance department. It has nothing to do with finance and everything to do with the environment, and yes, it ought to be hived off.

This new budget basically ignores sustainable development, or the co-operation among various rural communities throughout Canada and the development of economic projects and drivers that will create jobs.
How is it that we have only six or seven days to debate a budget that will have an unbelievable influence and unacceptable impact on many regional economies? Why are the Conservatives hiding things throughout this 425-page budget that will only benefit big business?

Mr. Speaker, these changes and the speed being proposed for their adoption are at the nub of what is going on here, particularly with the environmental issues. May 14 is now the deadline. Why is May 14 the deadline? There must be a project in the works that needs this kind of non-environmental assessment and that cannot begin until the government has passed this bill. My suspicion is that there is some other agenda that we have not yet heard about. Is that not the way that the government has behaved so far?
We did not hear about the cuts to the OAS until somebody in Davos decided to leak the information. We did not hear about the evisceration of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act until we saw it in the budget. This certainly was not campaigned on by the government, yet here we are, so I suspect we have more surprises in store from the Conservatives and their hidden agendas.

Mr. Speaker, in addition to the reprehensible downgrading of environmental law, by following this procedure of introducing changes to the environmental assessment and fisheries laws through the budget, the government has actually violated the side agreement to NAFTA, which obligates Canada to provide advance notice and opportunity to comment on any proposed change to environmental law and policy.
I wonder if the member could speak to not just the substance of it, but to the government's violation of its international commitments as well.

Mr. Speaker, it certainly appears to me and to most casual readers to be a violation of NAFTA. However, will we be accused of being anti-Canadian if we ask our friends in Washington to suggest that the government should have given notice to both Washington and Mexico, the partners in NAFTA, that it was about to downgrade its environmental protection system? There certainly should be some involvement by our partners in all of our so-called free trade agreements, some of which we actually did support.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to indicate I will be sharing my time with the member for Saint Boniface.
Recently our government delivered the economic action plan for 2012. This budget is one that would support jobs for Canadians, grow our economy, reduce red tape and increase efficiencies across government. This budget is a moderate approach to returning to balanced budgets in the medium term while making key investments in business and innovation. This is a budget Canadians can count on. There are many items in the budget that would help Canadians find jobs and save money.
While we are focused on growing the economy and putting more Canadians back to work, the opposition is focused on negativity, fearmongering and killing Canadian jobs.
In my remarks, I will focus on some key areas of the budget and highlight why the changes we are making would be good for Canadians' future.
A few things I would like to focus on are the changes to the old age security, reducing red tape in our project review processes and improving efficiencies at Veterans Affairs.
With regard to OAS, the opposition is trying to scare our seniors into thinking that we are taking away their benefits. That could not be further off the mark. What we are doing is ensuring that benefits remain for the long term, because we know that Canadian seniors need these benefits.
Let us talk about the changes to OAS. OAS is a government program, funded through general revenue, that if left in its current state will become unsustainable. What we are doing is introducing a reasonable plan that would be phased in over a long period of time and that would ensure that these benefits our seniors need remain far in the future.
We are making OAS more accessible to seniors by providing automatic enrolment instead of having them go through an application process. We are also introducing the option of deferring the beginning of OAS benefits, an option that would allow more seniors the choice for what is right in their situation.
Our decision to make changes to OAS is not an easy one, but it is the right one, and the opposition knows it.
For our most vulnerable seniors, we have created a GIS top-up. In budget 2011, we announced additional annual benefits of up to $600 for single seniors and $840 for couples for more than 680,000 low-income seniors.
We have also moved to reduce taxes for our seniors. In 2012, a single senior could earn at least $19,542, and a senior couple $39,084, before paying federal income tax. As a result of our actions since 2006, 380,000 seniors have been removed from federal tax rolls.
Through these measures, we are taking the tax burden off many seniors so that they can keep more of their savings.
We will continue to make responsible decisions that ensure Canadian seniors are receiving the benefits they need in retirement.
On environmental and project review, the opposition has spoken out against our plan to streamline the process for project reviews. Somehow it has come up with the notion that duplication, red tape and barriers to economic development are good things for Canada. The difference between our government and the opposition is that we actually support Canadian jobs and growth in the economy. What we are doing is making sure that projects that need more oversight get it in a timely manner; for smaller projects that have little impact on the environment, we are making sure they are dealt with through a quicker process, as they need less scrutiny.
What we have now is more duplication, a long and unclear review process for both large projects that require more assessment resources and smaller projects that are minimal environmental risks.
Projects in the queue have to go through multiple steps and multiple levels of government approval processes that are not clearly defined, and they are not given an estimated timeline. In some cases the federal review process is only begun years after an approval at a provincial level or from another federal agency. The result is wasted time, effort and money.
While projects are going through a complicated review process, it costs the business, it costs the economy and ultimately it could mean new jobs are not realized.
While large projects do need close review, many smaller projects, such replacing an existing culvert or constructing a new pumping house for a maple syrup plant, do not need the same level of scrutiny. These smaller projects, in the current review system, are taking up much of the resources that could alleviate the length of time it takes for a larger project to be reviewed.
If the opposition had its way, it would ensure that all reviews would go as slowly as possible, thus wasting time and effort on projects that do not need that kind of survey.
The opposition would effectively kill jobs in sectors where there is huge potential for economic growth, such as the natural resource, oil and gas sectors. A clear example of the NDP's intentions is the fact that it actually sent representatives to Washington at taxpayers' expense to oppose the Keystone pipeline, a project that will create thousands of jobs in North America.
The economic action plan will commit to bringing forward legislation to achieve the goal of "one project, one review"; make new investments to improve regulatory reviews; streamline the review process for major economic projects; support consultation with aboriginal peoples; strengthen pipeline and marine safety; continue to support the major projects management office initiative, which has succeeded in shortening and streamlining reviews and improving accountability; and ensure the safety and security of Canadians and the environment as energy resources are developed.
The opposition would put Canadians out of jobs. We want to make sure Canadians have work for generations to come.
With regard to Veterans Affairs, the opposition has been trying to convince our veterans for months that our government is slashing the budget for Veterans Affairs. As we can clearly see, that is just not the case. The opposition kept telling our veterans that benefits were being cut. The total reduction to the Department of Veterans Affairs is only 1.1% in an effort to reduce red tape and bureaucratic barriers. This will make for easier access to benefits and help ensure our veterans receive the care and support they deserve.
I will take this opportunity to again point out that while opposition members have criticized the government on veterans, not once have they voted in favour of the measures to increase veterans' benefits.
The reality is that budget 2012 strongly supports veterans and their families. We have promised to maintain benefits for our veterans and we are definitely following through on that promise.
I have elaborated on a few of the important measures brought in by action plan 2012. This budget supports growth and jobs for Canadians. It acknowledges the reality that we are working with a fragile global economy; this budget proves, though, that Canada remains a leader in fiscal management, as we are making responsible reductions to balance the budget while growing our economy and creating jobs.
I encourage all Canadians to go online and visit or call their MPs' offices to learn more about economic action plan 2012. With the plan that is in front of us, we have the sound fiscal management to ensure growth and prosperity well into the future.

Mr. Speaker, I want to refer to one issue here. Within the cuts that have taken place, Parks Canada has been hammered viciously by the government.
We saw the government talk with great enthusiasm about all of the great work it did with respect to increasing the size of the national parks in the Northwest Territories. Part of what was supposed to happen was a commitment to the people of the Northwest Territories that there would be some economic return, that these parks would be well managed and that they would increase tourism, but what do we see in the budget? We see huge cuts directly to national parks, cuts that will cause our economy not to get a boost from tourism. Where is the thinking there? On the one hand, the Conservatives love to take the credit for expanding national parks; on the other hand, they are slashing the budgets for these parks so that they cannot do the things they are supposed to do with that increased size.

Mr. Speaker, certainly the government is moving a number of areas of efficiencies to try to make government more economic and more compact, and the delivery is certainly felt at the final end. In other words, the idea is to grow the economy and encourage the private sector to invest in our economy. We feel that as a result of eliminating the deficit and keeping taxes very low, the opportunities in all the communities—in my rural community and in the member's rural community—will continue to grow through the years. Once the stability has taken effect, we are very confident that we will see growth and opportunity for Canadians across the country.

It is all water under the bridge, so I have nothing but goodwill toward the hon. member for West Nova.

Thompson's Health's Senior Vice President of Operations since 1999 and its Chief Financial Officer since 2004, Ms. Weymouth will remain the Chief Financial Officer for the health system. Her transition officially takes effect on July 7, and is part of an ongoing restructuring designed to maximize flexibility, improve organizational balance, and enhance management development within Ontario County's largest employer. "This is an exciting time at Thompson Health, and no one is better qualified than Deborah to help enhance Thompson's position as a growing, vibrant healthcare organization," said Linda Janczak, the health system's president and CEO.
A former banking executive whose first involvement with the health system was as a member of its F.F. Thompson Foundation Board, Weymouth first joined Thompson in 1995, as Vice President of Operations for what is now the M.M. Ewing Continuing Care Center. The Rochester Chapter of Financial Executives International and the Rochester Business Journal recently named her "Financial Executive of the Year" in the category of Small Not-for-Profit.

Responsibility now
To the Journal editor:
We need our own plan to reduce gun violence. This is not only necessary but is also the best way to protect our gun rights.
Everyone agrees something needs to be done to reduce gun violence and banning the AR-style weapons and high capacity clips will do nothing to accomplish this so more bans will be on the way.
We the gun owners need to push are own logical plan that will make a difference while protecting our right to choose what guns we own. All that anyone can ask of us is that we are 100 percent responsible for our own weapons.
With this in mind let's propose that all guns with repeating capabilities are registered and then enforce a law where the owner is held responsible if he did not take reasonable action to protect his weapon and in result it is used in a crime.
Registering is not as bad as it seems, since most new guns are basically registered when they are first bought. It would be nice if another gun law was not necessary but we are going to get new laws whether they are logical, non-agenda or not. So let's take action.
This simple idea will do much more than any ban while protecting our Second Amendment rights. Look up your representatives and write them each a letter.
Let's push for responsibility, not bans.

Published May 19, 2007
A search was under way Friday in the Gulf of Mexico after authorities found an abandoned boat in the water near the Pasco County coastline.
The 17-foot white flats boat was registered to Michael Curl, a 50-year-old resident of Hernando Beach, according to Coast Guard spokeswoman Tasha Tully.
Authorities said two boaters found Curl's vessel at 11:05 a.m. Friday about 1 nautical mile west of the Pithlachascotee River. At the time, no missing person report had been filed.
The Coast Guard and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were searching by air and water along the coast from New Port Richey to the Hudson Beach area.
"The search will continue through the evening and into the night, " said conservation commission spokesman Gary Morse.
Curl left the docks at Hernando Beach Wednesday morning to go fishing, Curl's family and neighbors said Friday evening.
Debra Curl, his former wife who still lives with him, said Curl had Wednesday off work as a truck driver for Today's Fresh Catch Inc. and decided to go fishing.
"He always goes out in the morning, but comes back by dark, " she said.
Debra Curl said she had been out of town until Friday morning.
"I should have known something was wrong when I got home, " she said. "Sally their dog ran out of the door in a hurry."
Morse said the keys were in the boat's ignition, but the engine was not running because the battery had died. Authorities found a cell phone and bait in the boat.
They were searching under the premise that the boat's operator possibly fell overboard.

Sony Corp., the pioneer of electronic book readers, said that while colour screens provide some advantages to certain kinds of content, the company is not seriously excited about e-book readers with colour screens. Not only such screens consume more than black and white electronic paper displays (EPDs) Sony uses today, but they also do not provide the same quality of text, the company said.
"There are some contents that require a color e-book reader like magazines, photo albums and picture books. Of course, we are considering making color e-book readers, but there is no [colour] electronic paper whose quality is high enough for us. We could use LCD panels, but we would like to use electronic paper for our main products," said Fujio Noguchi, deputy president of the digital reading business division of Sony Electronics, reports Tech-On web-site.
At present all Sony e-book readers use so-called electronic paper displays developed by E Ink Corp. Electronic paper consumes dramatically lower amount of energy than typical LCDs, as a result, Sony's e-book readers can boast with battery life that measures by weeks, yet, the contrast of screens is very high, which means that it is a pleasure to read from them. No surprise that Sony is hardly considering LCDs for its readers.
In fact, Sony seems to be rather conservative about its e-book readers. The company does not want to produce readers with keyboards (like Amazon Kindle). Basically, Sony has no intentions to make exotic readers with colour screens and keyboards so not to make them too complicated for novice users. Instead, Sony wants to concentrate on content availability.
"We also consider it important to make e-book readers that do not have a keyboard and to offer a variety of contents," said Mr. Noguchi.
According to the high-ranking executive from Sony, the e-book business is prospering. During the holiday season 2009, sales of e-book readers have quadrupled compared to the previous year, as a result, sales of electronic books will also grow at a rapid pace.

When men dare tread among kings
No pain, no gain sometimes is the motto when angling for kingfish, but a little homework before setting out makes any aches tolerable.
By DAVID A. BROWN
Published May 5, 2007
Sometimes pain is a good thing - especially when it means success.
In this case, success meant I had connected with my targeted quarry, a feisty Crystal River kingfish. The pain came from the king's sneak attack.
When deploying live bait for slow trolling with conventional reels, it's best to hold your thumb on the spool and apply just enough tension to keep the line from backlashing if the bait makes a sudden dash.
So I'm easing out this live blue runner when suddenly I hear that familiar sound of line screaming off a reel much faster than any baitfish can swim.
Immediately, the pain signals from my thumb reached my brain. This jolted me from my focused stupor just in time to realize I was seconds away from permanent print removal.
In one motion, I pulled my blistered thumb off the spool and flipped the reel in gear.
Now that's a dangerous move, as sudden pressure on the king's delicate mouth can pull hooks loose. Fortunately, my light drag setting allowed the jolt to transfer down the line and my fish stayed connected.
The setup
A morning of coastal fishing off Crystal River found local angler Joe Bertine at the helm while I ran the deck along with Joe Grano, a pal from Sarasota.
We had live pinfish and frozen threadfins for grouper. Plus Bertine had his trusty Mann's Stretch 25 plugs, which tempt grouper and kingfish. But I wanted to hear a reel screaming, so we needed live bait.
We would target a wreck about 14 miles southwest of the Crystal River nuclear power plant, but I asked Bertine first to jog over to a nearby rock reef where I expected to find a variety of kingfish candy.
A few minutes of jigging a No. 8 sabiki rig with a 2-ounce weight produced plenty of squirrelfish, but relocating to a different section of the reef yielded a plump blue runner and a 9-inch cigar minnow.
Knowing I could always return to this spot for more bait, I rigged both for immediate deployment as Bertine set up a trolling pattern toward pods of baitfish flipping near the surface.
For diversity, I rigged the cigar minnow with a chartreuse skirt. We trolled the runner bare.
Nearly intercepted
As I got the second bait set, we spotted a group of dark bodies cruising just inches from the surface about 20 feet off portside.
"Cobia!" I shouted prematurely.
In truth, the brown bombers would have been a very likely sighting over local rock piles. Bertine's closer inspection from a bow perch confirmed our sinking suspicion.
"They're barracuda," he said. "Do you want one of these?"
Had I not been facing aft, my rolling eyes and grimacing scowl would have been sufficient answer. But I confirmed with a disgruntled "No!" and my captain took immediate evasive action.
"Hold on," Bertine shouted as he powered up and ran about 75 yards from the last cuda sighting.
Barracuda do have their place in the ecosystem and they do put up a respectable fight. But we were after kingfish and losing one or both of my only live baits was not worth the fleeting thrill of a rod bent by an unwelcome guest.
As we gained steam, Grano and I quickly retrieved the baits to avoid beating them up in our wake. We dropped them in the well and I instantly realized my mistake.
Fortunately, this tangling did not hurt the baits and I was able to separate the rigs and deploy both of the troublemakers again.
Getting back to the thumb thing, I chose to set out the blue runner first, as this was the heftier bait. I figured I'd keep the cigar minnow close in the prop wash, but I never got the chance.
About 20 feet from the boat, my baitfish had a close encounter of the toothy kind. Burning reel, burning thumb - this is kingfishing.
Up to this point, the mission had run fairly well. But when my kingfish surfaced, the stark realization that we did not have the usual long-handled gaff was chilling.
Working with what we had, Bertine grabbed a short-handled grouper gaff and leaned far over the high gunwale of the 29-foot center console.
With the utmost caution, I led the tired king in a big circle that ended with the fish sliding right under Bertine. As the leader cleared his head, my captain stuck the fish and hoisted him aboard.
A little shaky at the end, but this plan came together with a rewarding conclusion.
Know your quarry, know what it eats, know how to find that food and you'll bag your share of big fish.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (July 15, 2006)
- Buoyed by vocal fans and the momentum gained from Friday night's victory, Poland defeated the U.S. Men's National Team 3-1 (26-24, 25-13, 20-25, 25-22) in their 2006 FIVB World League match on Saturday at the "E" Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Poland leaves the United States with a 2-0 World League lead. The United States will travel to Hiroshima, Japan, for its next matches on July 22-23. Poland will travel to Serbia & Montenegro to play July 21-22.
Poland's Sebastian Swiderski led his team with 14 kills and one ace. Gregorz Symanski added 11 kills, one ace and one scoring block. Lukasz Kadziewicz had seven scoring blocks for Poland.
Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) had 12 kills and three scoring blocks for the United States and Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) added 11 kills, one ace and two blocks.
Errors were the name of the game for both teams, especially in the first two sets. But as in Friday's 3-1 win by Poland (22-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-23), the U.S. men suffered more.
"We're not real happy with ourselves or the way we played up until the third and fourth games," U.S. Team Captain Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.). "We need to focus on taking care of the ball on our side."
The United States took a 14-9 lead in Game 1, but let Poland climb back into the set. While both teams struggled with service errors (Poland 6, U.S. 5), the strong play at the net from Lukasz Kadziewicz, Daniel Plinski and Swiderski more than compensated for Poland.
The U.S. hitting percentage in the first game was 7 percent while Poland's was 18 percent.
Those percentages improved in Game 2, but not nearly enough for the United States, which hit for 36 percent while Poland improved to 76 percent behind Szymanski with 11 kills and Swiderski with seven.
"I was pleased with my own performance today," said Szymanski, who was a substitute for Mariusz Wlazly. "I feel like I fulfilled my task."
Poland took leads of 10-5, then 18-8 and 20-10 in Game 2 and a United States comeback never materialized. Poland made it look easy in a 25-13 victory.
Lineup changes sparked the United States' 25-20 third-set win as Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) and Phil Eatherton (Glencoe, Mo.) provided extra firepower. The U.S. hitting percentage improved to 44 percent and Poland's was 13.
"After Gardner entered the game, he released his team's power and spirit," said Poland Head Coach Raul Lozano. "We had doubts during that set. But we tried to finish as well as possible."
Game 4 was a battle that saw Poland take an 18-14 lead, then try to hold off the U.S. comeback, led by Stanley and Priddy. However service and attack errors continued to plague the U.S. men, and a final kill from Swiderski ended the game and the match.

Rockwell Collins Reveals EVS-3000 Vision System
Rockwell Collins on Friday introduced EVS-3000 enhanced vision system (EVS), which it calls the "most advanced and highest fidelity" EVS in the commercial aviation market.
[EVS-3000. Photo, courtesy of Rockwell Collins.]
The system comes in head-up and head-down configurations with a multi-spectral EVS sensor to improve terrain and hazard detection, as well as navigation in low-visibility conditions. Also included in the system is the ability to fully detect LED lighting.
"We're bringing unprecedented accuracy in sensing what's ahead during critical phases of flight," said Craig Olson, senior director, head-up guidance systems for Rockwell Collins. "At the same time, operators will experience enhanced reliability and lower cost of ownership from our lower-weight, more energy-efficient EVS solution."
The company plans on revealing its launch customer for the EVS-300 at the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention in Las Vegas on Oct. 21.

Since we announced the release of TurnKey Hub v1.0 two weeks ago, we followed up with the two top issues users reported, and continued to receive awesome feedback - you guys rock, keep it coming!
When we first announced the TurnKey Hub private beta about 9 months ago, we had limited capacity (invitation only) and a modest feature set. Since then we tested, bugfixed, removed bottlenecks and added features, constantly improving the Hub with the help and feedback from our excellent beta users. Thank you so much!
In TKLBAM the backup key is a secret encrypted with a passphrase which is uploaded to the Hub. Decrypting the backup key yields the secret which is passed on to duplicity (and eventually to GnuPG) to be used as the symmetric key with which backup volumes are encrypted on backup and decrypted on restore.
When you create a new backup, or change the passphrase on an existing backup, a new backup key is uploaded to the Hub where it is stored in the key field for that backup record.
When you restore, tklbam downloads the backup key from the Hub and decrypts it locally on the computer performing the restore. Note that the Hub only allows you to download the backup key for backup records to which you have access (e.g., you are the owner).
All of this matters because it means that as long as you use a passphrase to protect the key, even the Hub can't decrypt your backups, only you can - provided you remember the passphrase (or failing that, at least have the escrow key stored in a safe place).
In other words, the decryption of the backup key happens locally and at no point does the passphrase reach the Hub, so we can't decrypt your backup even if you asked us to. Neither can an attacker that has theoretically compromised the Hub, or a government agency that comes kicking down our door with a court warrant.
But wait. If an attacker has local access to the key, his ability to run dictionary attacks to find the key's passphrase is limited only by the computational resources he can throw at it.
Today, I'm proud to officially unveil TKLBAM (AKA TurnKey Linux Backup and Migration): the easiest, most powerful system-level backup anyone has ever seen. Skeptical? I would be too. But if you read all the way through you'll see I'm not exaggerating and I have the screencast to prove it. Aha!
According to Murphy's Law, everything that can go wrong, eventually will go wrong.
This is true for backups on multiple levels. A backup is often our last line of defense when things go wrong, but so many things can go wrong with the backup itself that we usually don't find out about it until, well, horror of horrors, the backup fails.
On the surface, backups can fail for zillions of reasons.
In the last couple of days I've been researching Amazon S3 based filesystems, to figure out if maybe we could integrate that into an easy to use backup solution for TurnKey Linux appliances.
Note that S3 could only be a part of the solution. It wouldn't be a good idea to rely exclusively on S3 based automatic backups because of the problematic security architecture it creates. If an attacker compromises your server, he can easily compromise and subvert or destroy any S3 based automatic backups. That's bad news.
