Grilled seitan steak dinner
The seitan steaks in the meal pictured above are from a recipe in my subscription newsletter, The Vegan Feast (Jul/Aug/Sep 06 issue-- UPDATE 2012: this newsletter is no longer being published. The recipe is in my new book World Vegan Feast. )
These are all WW Core Food Plan recipes, made between meals for the newsletter as I re-write recipes and take photos. (Subscribers, the newsletter is a bit late this time, due to the power outages, etc., but should be out to you early next week!) With alot of my recipes, I can just lower the fat, steam-fry onions, etc., instead of sauteing, and make it a Core recipe. I allow 1-2 tsp. fat per serving in a Core recipe, because 2 tsp. "good fat" is allowed in the Core Food Plan every day. Anything over that has to be counted out of your 35 extra points per week. So, recipe don't have to be totally fat-free. I tend to use a little bit of toasted (Asian) sesame oil most often, because a little bit adds alot of flavor.
I say "all" are Core recipes, but I'm not sure about the pancake recipe at the end of this blog because they are made with flour, even if it's whole-grain. Anyway, a serving is 3 pts.
Creamy bean-based broccoli-cauliflower soup with smoked paprika and dill garnish
Servings: 4
A very simple concept-- you simmer cooked white beans with whatever vegetable you like , then puree it for a thick and creamy soup, without potatoes, starches, butter, cream, or nuts.
1 1/2 cups well-cooked or canned white beans (15 ounce can), rinsed and drained (such as white kidney beans, cannellini beans, navy beans, or Great Northern beans)
1/2 a medium onion, chopped
1 large clove garlic, chopped
1/2 pound fresh broccoli, trimmed and chopped
1/2 pound fresh cauliflower, trimmed and chopped
2 cups chicken-style vegetarian broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly-ground black pepper to taste
Steam-fry the onion and garlic for 5 minutes over high heat in a large non-stick skillet sprayed with a little oil from a pump sprayer, adding drops of water as needed to keep from sticking. (Or cook in a microwave oven in a covered microwave-proof casserole for 3 minutes.) Don't brown the onions.
Add to the beans, vegetables, broth, and salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, cover, turn down to medium-low, and simmer about 10-15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Puree right in the pot with an immersion/stick blender, or, with a slotted spoon, transfer all the solids to the food processor or blender and puree until smooth .Important caution: Leave an escape in the lid for steam, or else hot veggies will explode all over you!). Add a bit of the broth, then stir the pureed mixture back into the pot. Taste for salt and pepper. Garnish each serving with dried dill weed and smoked paprika or sweet paprika.

"Autumnal Stew" with TVP chunks and Hubbard squash, served with bulgur wheat pilaf
The above recipe is from my subscription newsletter, The Vegan Feast (Oct/Nov 04 issue). It's a very satisfying winter meal, too!
Blueberry pancakes made with half oat flour and half wholewheat pastry flour
Servings: 6
Yield: makes about 24 four-inch pancakes
This is a great basic high-fiber, but very light and tender pancake recipe, due to the oat flour and wholewheat pastry flour.
1 1/2 cups oat flour ( you can use 1 1/3 cups rolled oats ground fine in a dry blender or, in batches, in a clean dry electric coffee/spice mill)
1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (do not substitute ordinary whole wheat flour)
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 large pinch nutmeg
1 large pinch cinnamon
2 cups minus 1 Tbs nondairy milk
1 cup water
1 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup small fresh or frozen blueberries, placed in a small sieve over a bowl to drain
In a large bowl, whisk the oat flour, pastry flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together well. Add the soymilk, water, lemon juice, oil, and vanilla. Stir briefly, just to mix-- lumps are okay. (This batter is a little more runny than ordinary pancake batter.)
Heat a non-stick griddle or large nonstick skillet (or a nonstick electric griddle, which cooks very evenly), or a well-seasoned cast iron griddle (or pre-seasoned), over high heat. When it's hot (drops of water dance on the surface when sprinkled on, the disappear quickly), turn it down to medium-high (I usually turn my electric griddle to 325 degrees F). Spray with a little oil from a pump sprayer. Spoon the batter onto the surface, not crowding, because they spread a little. You can make small pancakes, about 4" across , or larger ones, whichever you prefer.
Sprinkle a few blueberries over the top of the pancake immediately after forming the pancake batter in the pan.
When bubbles appear on the tops, flip the pancakes over gently, loosening the bottoms carefully.
When the underside is golden and the inside is cooked (you can check one with a fork to make sure), serve them immediately. Don't overcook these-- they should still be kind of puffy when you take them off the griddle. If you let them overcook, they'll go flat and won't be as light and cakey as they should be. Serve hot with low-sugar syrup or fruit topping, such as low-sugar jam.

Those steaks look amazing! I can hardly wait for the next newsletter.
I'm really glad you're including a lot of WW Core recipes. I decided to join WW earlier this week so the timing couldn't be better. I'm going to be scanning back through past newsletters for more recipes.

Everything looks wonderful and so healthy. I can't wait to make the soup!
- Thu Jan 18, 07:04:00 PM PST
It all looks so great. Nice to see someone cooking up delicious Core meals - someone other than myself!
Unfortunately, flour is not Core, thus the pancakes are not Core. I have seen and tried recipes for Core pancakes before, using oats, oat bran, or cream of wheat instead of flour, and while they are a lot more dense than regular pancakes, they're not bad.

Thanks, Judy...I didn't think they were Core, but still an allowable treat. These ones are quite light and tender.

Just made the broccoli-cauliflower soup tonight ... wonderful!! So thick and creamy, hard to believe there's not a drop of fat in it!! Made the soup, then went out for a hike in the woods (25 degrees F .... brr!!) and then returned to a big bowl of this soup!!
Thanks for another great recipe!

The Polder scale that I purchased at Costco seems to work well but the auto shutdown really drives me crazy! It seems to be shutting down much sooner than the 3 minute mark. What scale can you recommend that allows the auto shutdown to be turned off or at least saves the displayed weight prior to shutdown?

This is for real carbon fiber work. We do not provide the parts unless you are ok with paying a new core fee. We can source the new oem part/s from Honda locally, or you can ship us your parts.
The process creates a part that looks 100% like a molded carbon fiber part. We have done Lamborghini's, Austin Martin's, Evo's, Ferrari, Mercedes Benz.
We have been doing this since 2008, and have done over 200 parts.
Prices start at $90 per part, actual price depends on the part. We will not do an entire dash board and we mainly do interior parts. Exterior parts are problematic and don't work well for overlay. Entire dashboards... nobody has that kind of money to put me on retainer for two weeks. Our prices are honest and fair based on labor-time and materials.
Send us an email today for a quote, remember to always include plenty of photos. firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you !!

Taiwan-based suppliers of graphics cards have accused ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corp. of creating shortages on the market of discrete desktop graphics processing units (GPU). Meanwhile, both ATI and Nvidia have shifted their inventory policies, which does not allow their partners to receive huge discounts when buying graphics chips in large quantities on the last day of a quarter.
A number of recent media publications suggest that ATI and Nvidia have started to reduce supplies of previous-generation high-end offerings, e.g., ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 285, as well as previous-generation 55nm graphics chips in general. Due to short supply of GPUs, graphics board vendors are reportedly even considering to increase pricing of graphics boards in order to fulfill the demand. Some claim that shortages will persist till Q1 2010.
Even though the two designers of graphics chips are streamlining their businesses at the moment, shortage of graphics cards may not be completely their fault. At a recent meeting with financial analysts, Mike Hara, vice president of investor relations at Nvidia, explained that the company's goal is to have inventory for 30 days of sales, which allows the firm to respond to competitive challenges in a timely manner. ATI's goal seems to be generally similar: to keep as few chips in stock as possible.
According to Mr. Hara, when Nvidia had inventory for 90 days of sales, big graphics card vendors attempted to make large purchases and demanded huge discounts once a quarter, virtually forcing the chip designer to sell its GPUs at lower prices since otherwise its quarterly results would be affected and in some cases it would be forced to write off older inventory in order to improve sales of newer products.
Market analysts claim that sales of standalone desktop graphics cards are increasing, which is a good news for everyone. Nevertheless, as the competition between ATI and Nvidia is heating up in general and in the high-end market segments in particular, suppliers of graphics cards will have to learn how to act in cases when both chip designers tend to keep as few products in stock as possible.

State officials to discuss 'big box' store tax ruling
By LISA M. REED
Staff Writer
QUINNESEC – Since the tax tribunal ruled in favor of lowering the taxable value of the Home Depot store in Breitung Township and the Lowe's Store in Marquette Township, state legislators and other authorities are getting involved to discuss the implications of these rulings.
Breitung Township's Home Depot store appealed the assessed value as set by the township for 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Closser & Associates of Marquette did an independent appraisal of the Home Depot store, and their assessment mirrored the township's tax appraisal for the years under appeal.
A trial held in September 2012 with the tribunal issued the following as their decision: 2009 taxable value from $2,933,400 to $1,450,000; 2010 from $2,914,629 to $1,330,000; and 2011 from $2,925,100 to $1,187,500.
The decision causes a refund in taxes in the amount of $225,193.66 plus interest.
A similar decision was ruled for the Lowe's store in Marquette Township.
Township Superintendent Joe Rogina said any refund due has been placed on hold as the township has appealed the case into the Michigan Court of Appeals. The case is consolidated with that of Marquette Township's Lowe store, which could take two years to be heard.
Rogina said at issue is the fact that the tribunal is making its decision based on a theory brought about by store's appraiser. Buildings have to be appraised as though vacant and could only be sold or leased for an alternative use rendering the building as having a diminutive value.
"If this trend is allowed to continue and enough of these cases are settled in this manner, then the burden of government is passed onto the residential taxpayer," Rogina said.
Implications of these decisions will be discussed by legislatures, the Michigan Township Association, Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan Education and others.
Michigan State Senator Tom Casperson of the 38th District said he is very concerned about how these big retailers are seemingly exploiting the law for their own gain at the expense of local stakeholders.
"Assessing commercial property in the manner that the retailers are arguing is not only unreasonable, but it is unfair to our local communities, especially to the local governments," he said. "This truly is a troubling practice that has far-reaching and long-lasting consequences not just to communities in the U.P. but throughout the state. So, I am now working with some colleagues to determine how we can we can rectify this self-serving practice legislatively, and ensure that our communities are protected from such actions going forward."
The offices of State Rep. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, and State Rep. John Kivela, D-Marquette, are also investigating the issue.
State Rep. John Kivela, D-Marquette, said he is looking closely into the situation and strongly considering legislative action.
Attorney William Fahey – of the Fahey, Schultz, Burzych, Rhoades law firm in downstate Okemos – is representing Breitung and Marquette townships.
These cases are pending across the state of Michigan involving almost every "big box" store.
A separate appeal is pending for 2012, and the 2013 assessment may also be appealed for the Home Depot store in Breitung Township.

Ohio House passes bill to increase tax credit for filmmakers
The Columbus Dispatch - May 11, 2012 09:49 AM
The Ohio House of Representatives just passed a bill to renew and increase funds for the Ohio Motion Picture Tax Credit.
The tax credit currently reimburses filmmakers 25 percent of what they spend in Ohio and 35 percent of wages paid to Ohio residents they hire. The incentive is set to expire next month.
The bill, which proposes that the tax credit increase from $30 million to $40 million for each fiscal biennium and that the annual cap increase from $10 million to $20 million, now moves on to the Ohio Senate.

For The Lancaster News
It only takes watching the 6 o' clock news or picking up a copy of the newspaper on any given day to find out that some sort of violence has taken place somewhere in the county, state, country or some other part of the world.
But what if violent tendencies were not limited to just select members of the population? What if every individual in the world gave in to thoughts and acts of violence? One local author considered that fact, and wrote a book in which such an apocalyptic situation becomes real.
Jackie Summers has never been on a hot air balloon ride before, so she added that to her bucket list. On the morning of April 13 she got her wish.
Robert Summers set up the event for his wife, who has a form of cancer. Robert brought a Relay for Life sign with the words "Doctor Driver" to take with them in the basket.

Katie's story
We just finished week seven of the challenge and while I am still so happy I did this, I am realizing why it is called a "challenge" now.
Robert Howey
Each spring, Donna White, with the help of her committee, turns a negative into a positive.
The date for that switch this year is April 14.
That's when the sixth annual Run for Ryan, a Kleine-Levin Syndrome fundraiser and awareness event that includes the county track meet, will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Lancaster High School track.
By now, most New Year's resolutions have fallen to the wayside.
I make them every year. This year, after much thought and soul searching, I decided to tackle the hardest resolution of them all: I'm reducing the sodium in my diet.
As far as resolutions go, it doesn't have the popularity of "losing 10 pounds," "paying off debt" or "reading the Bible through."

Katie's story
Four weeks down and I am so glad I did this. I have made some serious progress already, although I have a long way to go. I tend to be a little impatient, so to finally see some significant changes really helps me focus.
NASHVILLE – When Lancaster native Kassie Jordan hits the stage with her band, she knows immediately who the movers and shakers along Music Row are.
Hailed by one critic as "one of the hardest working girls in music around Nashville and a force to be reckoned with," the 2000 Buford High School graduate just released her first CD, "Timing," on Feb. 19.
Sitting in the waiting room at the doctor's office, we were indeed waiting our turn.
I glanced up to see a ghost from my past, whom I hadn't seen since making the final arrangements for my mother and father so many years ago.
My son was oblivious to the man's presence and was engrossed in a story about the recreational upgrades for Indian Land in Wednesday's copy of The Lancaster News.
I nudged my boy and asked, "Hey, you know who that fella is?"

Can anybody give me some insight on Fastball Sports? As a Dish Network subscriber, I really don't want to have to switch to Time Warner to see Tribe games. The press release that I read says that Fastball "... has secured a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Time Warner Cable..." I interpret this to mean that other outlets will have the chance to bid to show the games in addition to TW. Bottom line: will I get to watch the Tribe on Dish Network this season?
Truth be told: I prefer to listen to Hammy and Underwood. "Awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Back. GONE!!!!"

Juan Gabriel & Banda El Recodo
The youngest of ten children, Gabriel (born Alberto Aguilera Valadez) was raised in the border town of Juarez by his mother, who worked as a housekeeper. (He now owns the mansion in which she worked.) Singing from earliest memory, Gabriel was already writing his own songs by the age of 13. Changing his name to Adam Luna, Gabriel began singing in the nightclubs of Juarez's downtown strip in his teens. One night spot, El Noa Noa, was later immortalized in one of his most popular tunes. Gabriel later moved to Mexico City, changed his name again to Juan Gabriel, and in 1971 recorded his first hit, "No Tengo Dinero" (I Have No Money). Over the next 14 years, he rose to international recognition, appearing in such films as Nobleza Ranchera, Del Otro Lado del Puerte, and Es Mi Vida. By 1985, he had sold an estimated 20 million records.
Just as his career reached its peak, Gabriel had a major conflict with BMG over control of his copyrights. Over the next eight years, he refused to record any new material. He finally reached a compromise with BMG in 1994, and quickly made up for lost time. In 1995, three of his songs reached the Top 40 of Billboard's Latin radio charts. While his own recording of "El Palo" (The Stick) reached number one, cover versions of his songs -- "Como la Luna" (Like the Moon) by Banda Maguey and "No Tengo Dinero" by Ana Gabriel -- also performed well. In 1999, Gabriel's tour of United States was sponsored by the Sears Corporation. During the next few years, he averaged a new album every year, including Querida, Por los Siglos, and Inocente de Ti which was issued in 2010.
For the next few years, Gabriel allowed his label to release several compilations while spending his time touring and producing other artists. In 2013, he returned to the great Bellas Artes theater in Mexico to celebrate 40 years in music. En Vivo Desde Bellas Artes was released in a number of packages in the summer of 2014. In January of 2015, Gabriel was nominated to the Latin Songwriter's Hall of Fame; in February, Los Duo, his first studio album in five years, appeared. The set was a collection of his hits sung in duet with a wide variety of Latin music all-stars including Juanes. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi

Motor Vehicle Transport Act, 1987
Government Orders
10:10 a.m.
Gilbert Normand for Minister of Transport
moved that Bill S-3, an act to amend the Motor Vehicle Transport Act, 1987 and to make consequential amendments to other acts, be read the second time and referred to a committee.
Motor Vehicle Transport Act, 1987
Government Orders
10:10 a.m.
Brent St. Denis Parliamentary Secretary to Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to open the second reading debate on the Motor Vehicle Transport Act, 1987.
Bill S-3 focuses motor carrier regulation on safety and specifically on the federal-provincial national safety code for motor carriers. The bill is one of several initiatives to further improve road safety with the overall goal of making Canada's roads the safest in the world by the year 2010.
Canada currently ranks ninth in the world when measured by the number of people killed per 10,000 registered motor vehicles; a stark statistic. That is why the council of ministers responsible for transport and highway safety have announced an extension of the national road safety vision initiative to the year 2010. Included in the vision is a national target calling for a 30% decrease in the average number of road users killed and seriously injured during the 2008-10 period compared to the five years from 1996 to 2001.
Those countries at the top of the league, notably Norway, the U.K. and Sweden, are themselves still working hard to improve road safety. There is a lot of work to be done to ensure that Canadians enjoy the safest roads in the world.
To focus this work, the minister and his provincial colleagues have identified nine subtargets. One of these subtargets is a 20% decrease in the number of road users killed or seriously injured in crashes involving commercial vehicles, a toll which currently stands at 500 killed and 11,000 injured each year. It is this subtarget to which Bill S-3 will contribute directly.
The target for deaths and injuries involving commercial vehicles is 20% and not the same 30% as the overall target. Why should this be? The reason is a very important one. According to the best information we have, in collisions involving commercial vehicles it is much more often the non-truck vehicle involved that is found to be at fault. For example, drivers of vehicles other than commercial vehicles are found to have committed a violation in 45% of such collisions. Drivers of commercial vehicles are found to have committed a violation in 20% of those same types of collisions.
This is very important because there is often a perception that heavy trucks are the cause of all accidents when in fact the problems which need to be tackled frequently lie elsewhere. Therefore the major opportunity to reduce fatal and injury producing collisions with commercial vehicles is in the hands of the operators of other vehicles, mostly private cars, sport utility vehicles, light trucks and vans. It is a shared responsibility.
This is not in any way meant to minimize the importance of ensuring that commercial vehicle transport is as safe as it can be. Bill S-3 is a major goal for the federal and provincial governments. This is what the amendments to the Motor Vehicle Transport Act are about.
One of the important realities is the undoubted success of trucking as a means of transporting goods in our economy. The preference for road transport is pervasive. It is consistent with other developed countries and very likely will continue into the foreseeable future.
Over the last decade domestic truck tonne kilometres increased by 60% and even more impressively international activity, that is north-south traffic, has tripled. These figures support the observation by many Canadians that there are ever more heavy vehicles on our roads.
The government believes that the House will recognize the importance of truck transport to the Canadian economy and will fully support the goal of ensuring that it is carried out in the safest possible manner. With this background I will talk in more detail about Bill S-3 and the amendments.
Bill S-3 updates the federal government's longstanding involvement in road transport regulation. This is founded on federal delegation to the provinces and territories of federal constitutional responsibility for certain parts of the road transport industry, those parts that cross provincial and international boundaries. There is a shared jurisdiction which will be respected in the bill.
The federal Motor Vehicle Transport Act supports provincial regulation and specifically safety regulation of motor carriers. By so doing it provides a national framework for provincial regulations and enables provincial governments to co-operate in regulating motor carriers that operate from one province to another. The act governs the tens of thousands of truck and bus companies that fall under federal jurisdiction. These are known as extraprovincial motor carriers or federal carriers.
Extraprovincial motor carriers are those that operate beyond the boundaries of a single province. This is a large and increasingly important proportion of all truck and bus operators. Regulation of extraprovincial motor carriers is the constitutional responsibility of the federal government. Provincial governments are responsible for carriers that operate solely within a province, which are known as intraprovincial or local carriers. Provinces are also responsible for licensing drivers and vehicles and for traffic enforcement.
Recognizing the prominent provincial role, the federal government has historically delegated the implementation of its authority for federal motor carriers to provincial administrators. The Motor Vehicle Transport Act provides the mechanism by which provincial and territorial governments are empowered to regulate federal carriers. The legislation is therefore an essential component of a shared responsibility for national motor carrier safety regulation. It is also important for the policy direction it provides to the national regulatory framework.
As I have already indicated, the trucking industry regulated by this act is a vital part of our economy and is a significant engine of growth. The value of trucking activity in Canada as measured by freight revenue is $40 billion annually.
Trucking accounts for 84% of all Canadian surface freight revenues and about three-quarters of this activity is by federal carriers. The trucking industry is diverse. It features a number of large international companies, many intermediate and small businesses, and a great number of individuals who drive their own trucks. There are over 700,000 heavy vehicles in Canada and nearly 250,000 fleet operators.
The Canadian intercity bus industry is much smaller but also meets an essential transportation need. Intercity and charter buses generate a half billion dollars in annual revenues. Buses account for about one-third of all intercity passenger travel that is not made by private passenger car.
It is in all our interests that buses can continue to provide Canadians with economical and safe transportation. Buses have a continuing impressive record of safely transporting passengers. In fact there are years when there are no bus passenger fatalities at all. There is however the occasional tragic accident and any collision involving a school bus rightly creates significant public concern. Bus safety must remain a priority, just as heavy truck safety is a priority.
In February of this year the minister released a report on cross-country consultations on bus safety recently conducted by Transport Canada. The recommendations are currently being considered by the department, the provinces and industry.
I would like to say a word about a related act administered by Transport Canada. The Motor Vehicle Safety Act prescribes safety standards for new trucks and buses. This is an important part of ensuring that all vehicles on the road are manufactured to be as safe as modern technology can reasonably make them. Recent advances in the standards for commercial vehicles include anti-lock brake systems, automatic brake adjusters and reflective markings to increase visibility. The House can be confident that by virtue of these standards new heavy vehicles coming on to the road incorporate appropriate safety technology as it becomes available.
Once a vehicle is registered for use on the road its operation and maintenance falls under provincial jurisdiction. As indicated earlier, each province has laws and regulations governing the operation of commercial vehicles. These provincial safety regimes are patterned after a set of national standards called the national safety code for motor carriers. There are 15 national safety code standards covering all aspects of safe commercial vehicle operation. The standards address the driver, the vehicle and motor carrier management.
Over the past few years federal, provincial and territorial governments in consultation with industry and public interest groups have made a major effort to develop an umbrella standard based on real on road safety performance. This effort recently culminated in new national safety code standard No. 14 under the category of safety rating. This safety rating standard provides a framework for provincial government to assess and rate motor carriers, that is commercial vehicle operators, based on their actual on road safety performance.
Based on this knowledge governments are able to take appropriate enforcement action. Carriers know where they stand relative to the industry and shippers are able to choose a carrier in a more informed way. The safety rating process will ensure that all involved parties will have important real world information on motor carrier safety. At the same time the safety rating standard places primary responsibility for safe vehicle operation clearly where it should be, with the motor carrier itself.
The new standard No. 14 safety rating regime means that records of collisions, traffic offences and violations of safety standards will be collected for each motor carrier. This information will be gathered from every jurisdiction where a motor carrier operates. The province in Canada or the U.S. state where a motor carrier safety incident occurs will transmit the information to the province where the carrier is registered. Based on a compilation of all those records the home jurisdiction creates a safety rating for each motor carrier.
This may be a useful juncture to mention the matter of commercial vehicle driver hours of service. The hours of service regime in Canada is implemented by federal and provincial regulations, all of which are based on national safety code standard No. 9. Drivers' hours of service performance is one of the several elements which contribute to the calculation of a carrier's safety rating. I want to make clear that the specific issue of hours of service is not however the subject of Bill S-3.
Members may know that on April 30 the minister requested the Standing Committee on Transport and Government Operations to examine the rules governing commercial drivers' hours of service. The matter is therefore the subject of a separate examination, one that is distinct from the bill before us today. I understand the committee has already started those hearings.
As indicated earlier, the federal government has the constitutional authority to regulate extraprovincial motor carrier undertakings. The amendments being debated today will enable provincial and territorial governments to apply the new national safety rating regime to federally regulated motor carriers as well as to local carriers.
In practical terms this means that a province will be authorized to issue safety fitness certificates to all motor carriers registered in that province. Clearly in a national program it is important that carriers are rated in a similar fashion in every jurisdiction.
A carrier has the right to receive the same safety rating in every province or territory for comparable safety performance. For this reason the bill establishes a framework for nationally consistent safety ratings. The certificate will be the carrier's permission to operate anywhere in Canada: one stop shopping at its best.
The volume of Canada-U.S. motor carrier traffic has increased dramatically, threefold since 1991. Bill S-3 recognizes that fact and contains provisions to encourage reciprocal recognition of motor carrier safety supervision in other countries, particularly our immediate neighbour, the U.S. and our next closest continental trading partner, Mexico. In this way motor carriers can look forward to seamless treatment from safety regulators north to south on the North American continent.
I want to close by drawing the attention of the House to the partnership and co-operation that exists among governments and stakeholders in the area of motor carrier safety. The national safety code for motor carriers is the product of a federal-provincial-territorial memorandum of understanding signed in 1987.
National safety code standards are developed and maintained by federal-provincial committees that also comprise industry, labour and public interest groups. Since the inception of the code all governments have made a strong effort to develop national approaches to motor carrier regulation, including vehicle and driver licensing training and enforcement.
The bill before us today reflects the resulting progress. Since 1987 we have moved from a patchwork of local regulations toward consistent national safety regulations. This process is not necessarily completely to the satisfaction of all safety interest groups or the national and international motor carrier industry. However there is serious interest by all governments and other participants to see it progress and keep progressing to achieve maximum safety results with efficient implementation.
In this regard the Canadian Council of Ministers of Transport is preparing a memorandum to update the original 1987 document to re-energize the national commitment to harmonization of safety regimes. The minister expects the council of ministers responsible for transport and highway safety will consider this document at its meeting in September.
The bill establishes a framework for a program founded on the national safety code and administered by provincial governments in a consistent manner toward all motor carriers. We believe that this co-operative arrangement is the best way to achieve the highest feasible level of safety for commercial vehicle operation throughout Canada.
In conclusion, road fatalities in Canada are at their lowest level in history. In spite of this, road accidents still kill nearly 3,000 Canadians a year and cost Canadian society over $10 billion annually. The toll in human suffering cannot be measured.
All governments need to keep road safety a priority. The bill to amend the Motor Vehicle Transport Act, 1987, is one of several important steps toward improving highway safety in Canada. The bill is a product of consultation and consensus and is founded on partnerships.
The passage of the bill will provide an important impetus for a continuing co-operative process among governments, industry and public interest groups, building on work that has already been accomplished.
The bill would apply safety regulation based on real life performance. It would recognize responsible motor carriers and encourage their efficient operation across Canada and North America.
I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and with the provincial ministers, together with the motor carrier industry, to further the improvement of highway safety in Canada as provided for in this legislation.

Canadian Alliance
Brian Fitzpatrick Prince Albert, SK
Mr. Speaker, I will indicate at the outset that the Canadian Alliance is supportive of the bill. That does not mean the bill is perfect. We feel that the bill is a half measure. The bill deals with the important issue of highway safety in the country and that is a worthwhile area for public policy and for government to be involved with. I will spend some time talking about the role of the private sector in this whole area and also about the areas the bill missed the boat on.
I would like to acknowledge the improvements I have seen in highway safety because of innovation by the private sector. My learned colleague mentioned anti-lock brakes. Anti-lock brakes were developed in the private sector. The government was very quick to pick up on that, take credit for it and make a regulation. However, anti-lock brakes were developed by the industry before government even thought of them. The area of airbags is another area where the industry was away ahead of government. As well, the reliability of motor vehicles on our roads today is far superior to that of the vehicles we had 20, 30 or 40 years ago and there are more innovations on the way. Fuel economy has improved tremendously and from an environmental standpoint that is good.
Why has industry been able to improve the safety and quality of motor vehicles? Is it because of government regulation and bills such as this one? I think not. It has more to do with a competitive global market in which industry cannot stand still. Industry has to constantly improve its products. Improvements also have a lot to do with something called ISO, the international standard that assures quality in parts and in the system of putting products together. ISO probably has a lot more to do with safety than any bill that this House could pass.
I raise these issues to acknowledge the private sector's contributions to improved safety on our highways.
My learned colleague pointed out that there has been a massive move into truck transportation in Canada. For the most part, the reason we have had a massive movement into truck transportation in the country is the government's failure to move on modernizing our rail transportation system.
The government has had two excellent reports on rail transportation, the Estey commission and the Kroeger report, but has been very slow to respond to those reports and modernize the rail system. A lot of shippers are being forced to use the highways and to use trucks. From a safety standpoint I would suggest that there are a lot of products being moved by truck that should be moved by rail. There are hazardous products out on congested highways such as the 401 highway and if there is an accident there is a real problem.
Rail is a much more suitable means of transporting a lot of these goods, but because of our reluctance to modernize our rail system a lot of shippers are forced into shipping by highways whether they like it or not. In that respect government is the problem, not the solution.
That brings me to another point. I am sure that if you asked truckers or people who are on our highways a lot what their single biggest safety concern is today, they would say it is the highway system, the roads they have to drive on. The roads are falling apart. They are full of holes.
Anyone from my part of the country who wants to take a summer trip to visit relatives in Ontario or Quebec, unless they have their heads screwed on wrong, will find the first interstate in the United States and drive through the U.S. to get to Ontario or Quebec. They do not use our national highway system because the roads are just not that good.
That raises a point. The bill misses a very important angle. The government collects $4.5 billion in fuel taxes. Approximately 5% of that goes back into our highway system. That is not the policy in other countries. Other countries have policies whereby fuel taxes are reinvested in infrastructure and highway systems. The U.S. is a good example. That is why it has its interstate system and a good highway system. However this government refuses to deal with that problem.
I want to raise another point. There is a philosophy that is far too prevalent in the government, which is that the solution to a problem is more government, more laws, more regulation and more bureaucracy. The government thinks that is the way to get results. It has been my experience and the experience of many other people that if we want results we need a plan, teamwork, co-operation, vision, management and enforcement.
The government is too quick to create more bureaucracy, more laws and more regulations. It forgets about all the other components that make for good public policy. The government's attitude is that if we wanted a Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup next year we would pass a law saying it is the Montreal Canadiens' turn to win the Stanley Cup. It would pass a law in the House of Commons and dictate that result. We know that is not how the world works.
If we want a result we have to manage that result. Passing laws will not solve a problem. Last week there was a good case in point. Everyone in the House basically got up in support of the feel good motion about safe water in Canada, but no one in the House addressed the real question, which is how we are going to get modern water treatment systems into all the communities across the country. The assumption of course is that if the federal government passes a law, we will solve the problem. If we look at the fisheries, we see that we have more people in the fisheries department than we have fishermen, I think, and look at what has happened to our fisheries. If the federal government is so darned good at water, why are most people, even aboriginals on their reserves, reluctant to drink tap water? Reserves are an area that federal government has had jurisdiction over for 125 years.
However, that is the government's approach: more government, more regulation and more bureaucracy. The government thinks that if we get enough of that sort of thing in place somehow through the vast weight of the state we will get some results. I think there is a better way of doing things and I wish the government would start to look at it. The auditor general has been pointing out for eight or nine years now that the government just does not get results. It comes up with these feel good bills and laws, passes more laws and regulations and hires more bureaucrats, but the results are not there. In fact, sometimes they are counterproductive, but I guess it makes my colleagues on the other side of the House feel good at night because they say all these warm, fuzzy things in the House about safety and so on.
In conclusion I would say that the bill is a half measure. If we expect government to have regulations, laws and bureaucracy in place, the Liberal government is strong in those areas. It knows how to do that and thinks that the more laws, regulations and bureaucracy we have, the better things are. However, in a lot of the other areas the government is deficient. The biggest single deficiency in the bill is the biggest safety issue we have in highway transportation in the country: the state of our roads.
My colleague from the government side pointed out that there has been a massive movement of transportation on our highways, especially extraprovincial. That is a federal area, if I understand my law correctly. When we move into extra-provincial issues, that is federal jurisdiction.
Where is the government's commitment to building our highway system and getting it up to high standards? In the bill there are high standards for motor vehicles, the operators and everything else, but it completely misses the roads on which these vehicles have to drive. It has not done a darned thing about them. It runs away from that.
If the water safety bill ever becomes law, I am sure the real omission in that area will be that the federal government will just not put the money into it. I recall the government moving into the health area, which is a provincial jurisdiction, with the five principles of the Canada Health Act and all the rest of it. However, how much funding does it provide? It provides something like 13% of the health care budget. This is a bad habit of the federal government. It intrudes into an area, passes laws and then does not provide sufficient funding to make the plan work. The thing then falls off the rails, so to speak.
We support the bill but we are not enthusiastic supporters. It is a typical Liberal half measure. The Liberals always lean toward more regulation, more government and more bureaucracy and forget the other things that are required to really manage a result. If we do not have those ingredients, we will have limited results from the bill.

Although Nvidia Corp. has never confirmed plans to release a new dual-chip flagship graphics card, it looks like the one is nearing. Apparently, a graphics card called "GeForce GTX 590" is listed in one of beta builds of Nvidia ForceWare drivers.
Nvidia ForceWare driver version 266.7x beta supports GeForce GTX 590 (NVIDIA_DEV.1083.01) and GeForce 550 Ti (NVIDIA_DEV.1244.01) graphics cards, revealed VR-Zone web-site. Both graphics cards have not yet been announced, but their listing in drivers points to the fact that the graphics solutions will be released shortly.
The PCI identifier of the GeForce GTX 590 implies that the graphics board is based on a GF110 graphics processing unit (GPU) which has 1080 PCI ID, naturally, the id does not show how many chips are onboard. The identifier of the GeForce 550 Ti may indicate that the solution is powered by yet unknown GF116 GPU, which will likely be a successor of the GF106 with enhanced performance and lowered power consumption.
Little is known about the graphics card that is said to be called GeForce GTX 590. The board is presumably set to be based on two GF110 graphics chips and will therefore have 1024 stream processing units, 128 texture units and 96 raster operation units in total. In order to simplify the design of the board, the GF110 chips will rely on two 384-bit memory buses to connect to 3072MB of GDDR5 memory (each chip will have 1536MB frame-buffer). Based on images published by several web-sites, the dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590 will have two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors, thus, will consume between 300W and 375W.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 590 will compete against dual-chip AMD Radeon HD 6990. Given the fact that Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 graphics card is significantly faster ATI Radeon HD 6870, the dual-chip GeForce GTX 590 will have all chances to outperform the Radeon HD 6990 code-named Antilles. Although the flagship graphics cards do not represent a substantial share of AMD's or Nvidia's revenues, they attract attention to the "GeForce" and "Radeon" brands and therefore advertize mainstream products and prove technological leadership of their developers.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

A bookworm's delight
Volunteers have been working the past couple weeks to set up the spring book sale at Kendall Young Library, which begins tomorrow.
The first day of the book sale, which runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., is only open to Friends of the Library members. Nonmembers may join the group at the door for $5. Thursday through Saturday, the book sale is open to the public.
Shirley Yungclas has helped set up the book sale for many years. She helped finish up the organization and layout of the book sale at the library on Tuesday. She is hardly alone, with about 40 other volunteers helping.
"A lot of people want to help with the book sale," Yungclas said. "I'll make notes when someone tells me they want to volunteer and let others know they want to help. We usually have enough help that everything runs well."
Even with that many volunteers, each person has a good share of work to do before the sale. Yungclas, along with other volunteers, began promoting the sale by hanging posters across town two weeks ago. Yungclas said she posts them on community boards, in schools and anywhere she thinks people are passing through that might see the posters.
Organizing the sale requires a lot of planning. Yungclas has a sketched layout of where the books and other media will go by type. Everything from novels to large print book and genres from psychiatry to religion are planned ahead of the sale. Even with the carefully planned layout, Yungclas said volunteers often have to put benches on top of the tables that organize the books to create a second level of storage.
The first day of the sale always brings in a lot of people, Yungclas said. While the library will occasionally retain donated books for their own collection, there is a small group of people that are very dedicated to finding the rarest and most valuable books on sale. Yungclas called them "scanners," because they will come early on the first day of the sale, and use a UPC scanner to search for a book on the internet. If they find valuable items, they will often resell them.
On the last day of the sale, this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., visitors to the book sale can name a price to buy the books they want. Yungclas said that is done to help clean out as much of the remaining items from the sale as possible. Those items still left over go to Planned Parenthood. Yungclas said the library has received some flak for their donations to the organization.
"People don't' realize that Planned Parenthood isn't just for abortions, it also helps people plan for families and pregnancy prevention," Yungclas said.
She said that book sale posters that are posted on the community bulletin board below the old Hamilton County Public Hospital have been torn down the past few years. While the posters don't mention that leftover items will be donated to Planned Parenthood, she said she thinks that's why the poster has been continually taken down.
The move to make the book sale biannual rather than an annual event has doubled the amount of money the Friends of the Library have brought in for their programs at the library. The ongoing book sale rack near the entrance of the library has also continued to drive sales. Yungclas said that the library now sells old magazines on that book sale rack rather than throwing them away.
For more information on the book sale, contact Kendall Young Library at 832-9100.

Intel Corp. and Nokia Corp. on Tuesday said that they are forming a long-term relationship to develop a new class of Intel x86-based mobile computing device and chipset architectures which will combine the performance of powerful computers with high-bandwidth mobile broadband communications and ubiquitous Internet connectivity.
"This Intel and Nokia collaboration unites and focuses many of the brightest computing and communications minds in the world, and will ultimately deliver open and standards-based technologies, which history shows drive rapid innovation, adoption and consumer choice," said Anand Chandrasekher, Intel's senior vice president and general manager of the company's ultra mobility group.
To realize the vision, both companies are expanding their longstanding relationship to define a new mobile platform beyond today's smartphones, notebooks and netbooks, enabling the development of a variety of innovative hardware, software and mobile Internet services.
The Intel and Nokia effort includes collaboration in several open source mobile Linux software projects. Intel will also acquire a Nokia HSPA/3G modem IP license for use in future products. The companies expect many innovations to result from this collaboration over time.
The effort also includes technology development and cooperation in several open source software initiatives in order to develop common technologies for use in the Moblin and Maemo platform projects, which will deliver Linux-based operating systems for these future mobile computing devices.
Building on today's announcement, Intel and Nokia have signed an agreement that will enable Intel to license Nokia's HSPA/3G modem technologies with the aim of developing advanced mobile computing solutions that deliver a powerful and flexible computing experience – combining the best-in-class 3GPP modem technology with the high performance and low power consumption of future Intel Architecture-based platforms. The Nokia modem license complements Intel's broadband wireless technologies and will enable the company to extend chipset solutions incorporating Nokia's modem technologies across its mobility offerings in the future.
Action plans have not been announced. Nevertheless, it is highly likely that Intel will ship its code-named Moorestown and Medfield system-on-chip devices to the top phone maker. Made using 45nm fabrication process, Moorestown may power mobile Internet devices and communicators, whereas Medfield, which are to be made utilizing 32nm process technology, may find home inside Nokia's smartphones due in 2011.

The 5 Strangest (and Best) Lawn and Garden Care Tactics You Can Buy
As Americans start dusting off their garden equipment, ripping out weeds, emptying pots of long-dead plants and generally tidying up a bit, the home and garden industry is expecting a continued recovery from a recession that saw most homeowners make do with what they had and most renters put off buying for a bit. As new and existing home sales rebound, spring home and garden sales have followed.
According to the Census Bureau, home and garden retailers took in $86.3 billion from March through May 2006, but saw their take fall as low as $67.7 billion at the height of the recession in 2009. While the $73.9 billion worth of shovels, rakes, soil and saplings bought last spring aren't a complete recovery, they're at least a bit sunnier than the slump the industry experienced for the past five years or so.
Then again, the American consumer's become a lot more frugal over the past couple of years and isn't going to buy a riding mower just to keep up appearances around the McMansion. In fact, buyers have no problem laying off the big-ticket power products altogether if there's a less expensive but similarly effective solution.
We took a look around the neighborhood and over the neighbors' fences and found some natural, alternative solutions to some of spring's peskier, more expensive problems:
Goat rental
Whether you have just enough front or back yard to get overgrown and unwieldy or find yourself overrun with nasty, prickly, invasive plants that just won't go away, nature has already devised the ultimate solution to your problem.
A good goat not only turns your kitchen scraps into easily degraded compost, but will go after kudzu, blackberry vines and other invasive species that can otherwise ravage a yard or field. Google
Goats are relatively inexpensive and require only what they eat as fuel. Companies such as Eco-Goats and Rent A Goat will lend you their goats for as much time as you need and can provide as many as 30 at a time on their own or through farm subcontractors. How many do you need? It depends on the size of the plot, but the folks at Gizmodo and Movoto have come up with an app for that. Just feed your property's measurements to their calculator and you'll get a pretty good idea of how many goats, cows, pigs or guinea pigs it'll take to tame your land in a day. It'll also give you an estimate of how many chickens will be required for the same job, which brings us to ...

Here's how RW members rated this race (98 votes).
In short: Nice park, but killer hills!In full: I entered this race as it was local and for a good cause. There was a good atmosphere and everyone there was in good spirits. NEGATIVE: There was a little problem with some ribbons which held the medal. Some of the ribbons like mine were missing the event name and date and it was just plain black. However I only realised this when I saw other runners with the printed ribbon on the train. I was annoyed that there wasn't somebody to let the unwitting runners know. The course was more challenging than I had anticipated, who decided to put THAT last gradient in? it was hard on the legs. POSITIVE: The problem over the medal was dealt with in a very positive/friendly way by David Krangel (race director) who issued me with the correct ribbon/medal after I phoned him. For those thinking about entering this race, be prepared for a hard race, but a good atmosphere.Goody Bag & Medal: It's a small medal (4cm diameter) but the ribbon does have the event name and date. Everyone got to pick up some bananas and water/energy drinks. The lady handing out the energy drinks kindly gave me two energy drinks, I certainly needed them!Many thanks to the chap who ran 6km of the race with me, even though he was a foot taller and had a longer stride length than me! We chatted all the way through, but he went solo with 750m to go. Talking to him helped divert my attention away from the pain in my legs!Date of review: July 20, 2010
In short: Really fun, very well organised! A real laugh!In full: This was my first run, so it will always be very special for me! Greenwich Park is lovely and we were really lucky with the weather: it rained before and after but not during the race!The race was really well organised, marshalls very friendly and encouraging!Lovely medal and goody bag for all at the end and the costumes were hilarious!I'll definitely be there next year!!Date of review: January 7, 2010
In short: Bad weather, repetitive course up and down hills. Not enjoyable!Date of review: November 18, 2009
In short: Fun run, not too busy. Very basic organisation. Date of review: November 17, 2009
In short: hills, dam those hills!In full: great 10k. bit of a confusing course and xome hard hard hills in the last 10k. but well worth it. worst day of the year, weather wise and they still got a good turnoutDate of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Still a few ache now but had funIn full: This race was very well thought out we got our chip and storage done within 3 mins. The race was well planed out. Quite a few hills but his just make you stronger in the end. Was my first 10k and i really enjoyed it. The atmosphere was good as well.Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Tough race with loads of hills and unlikely to be a race where you will get your PB - but nice scenery to enjoy as you suffer the 3 long uphills..Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: What a great race - loved it!!In full: Having travelled through torrential rain and been stuck in traffic for 30 mins I really didnt think we would make it to this one. As we approached the start line up the hill they had started already!! We were helped v.quickly through registration although couldnt even see the crowd when we started! Great marshalls and v.friendly atmosphere. Some amazing 'tashes - not only from the boys!! Three, I think, killer hills last one was evil - though 5 mins off my 10K PB for me so well pleased. Nice to have a medal although a bit cheap and goody bag too. Seemed v.good value for a 10K. Would definitely do it again.Date of review: November 16, 2009
In short: Storms clear for a well organised and good spirited, but all too hilly run.In full: Great organisation, great cause - just a shame the course, beautiful though it is, is far from flat/undulating, criss-crossing a sod of hill that is Greenwich Park several times. If it could have been steered around the park rather than the laps up and down, I'd go back. As it is, kills your shins on the downs and saps any enjoyment on the way ups.Still, don't have a downer on the day - the forecast storms cleared in perfect time for the day and the marshalls, organisation and spirit were all excellent.Probably wouldn't do it again on this route though.Date of review: November 15, 2009
In short: Very good and challengingDate of review: November 15, 2009

Topic: ajax add row to a table
Hi, maybe not exactly a rails question, sorry in advance, but im trying to use rjs to update a html table and add a row to it. I have used rjs in the past so I dont think its a rjs issue, but more of a IE/Firefox, javascript issue which we are generating.
Here are my scenarios:
- adding row to a table in firefox & IE - works but formatting is all messed up
- adding embeded table inside of row works and looks good for firefox but is above the row its supposed to be in location, in IE I get an "Object Error" javascript dialog
Should I try a hidden row, then make it visible and add the html?
are there some ajax rules around tables I need to be aware of, if so, what should i do if I want dynamic behavior?
