The current federal standard in the U.S. is only 4 km/h for frontal impact, which has been the rule since 1982. In 1981, the standard was 8 km/h. To prove its point, the IIHS found a 1981 Ford Escort and subjected it to the four bumper tests. The corner tests returned zero dollars in repairs. Frontal was a mere US$86, while rear impact was only US$383. Now if only the cylinder heads on those old Escorts didn't warp like a 2x4 in the rain...
First seen as the Nuvolari quattro concept in 2003, the first A5s are expected to land in dealerships this June. While the DNA is familiar, the A5 has quite the grab-bag of mills. There's a 170-horsepower 1.8-litre turbo four with direct injection, and a 2.7-litre, 190-horsepower TDI diesel V-6 for front-drivers.
There are plenty of juicy options, su...

The Touareg becomes the Touareg2 for Oh-Eight. Arriving in the spring, the mild re-style boasts a new 3.6 litre FSI VR6 as the base mill, with 280 horsepower. The 4.2 litre V8 receives the benefit of direct fuel injection, with 350 horsepower.
You can opt for second-row fold-and-tumble seats, which disappear into the floor. An ambient lighting system can cascade seven different colours into the footwells, and a capless fuel filler neck shortens the list of things to forget at the corner filling station. The Flex is set to arrive in Ford showrooms in the summer of 2008.
The roll bar is more about show than saving your 'noggin, while the go receives the Ford Racing Performance Pack for the 4.6 litre V8. Much like the non-rental Ford Shelby GT, this snake-charmed Stang gets the Ford Raci...

[Harold] and Kumar are flying to Amsterdam to pursue Harold's dream girl Maria (Paula Garces). Even though they're about to land in the world capital of legalized dope, feckless Kumar can't resist lighting up in the airplane bathroom, with an Improvised Pot-Smoking Device. Strange how the word "bong" sounds so much like the word "bomb," especially in a post-9/11 airplane.
The boys are arrested as terrorists and interrogated by super-keen G-man Rob Fox (The Daily Show's Rob Corddry). He thinks he's stumbled onto an unholy alliance of North Korea and al-Qaida, but it's more like the Axis of Idiocy.
Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, who co-write and co-direct, punctuate their rambling road trip with social satire. They like to set up a stereotype and then reverse it at the last moment. H...

People are starting to put so much money into their backyards," says Kathy Jameson of The Outdoor Lighting Company. "It's an extension of the home. There's outdoor carpeting (and) now we have outdoor chandeliers.
There are also outdoor lights carved into limestone rocks, lights built into outdoor stairways, lights mounted into trees to highlight summer foliage and even lights submerged to brighten water features.
* Low-voltage: These lights have a lower wattage draw and help create a calming ambience. They require a cable, transformer and timer (so they come on at the same time every night). These can be professionally installed or are sold in kits for DIYers (kits include fixtures, bulbs, cables, connectors, transformer and timer). The weatherproofed fixtures are durable through al...

IT'S bizarre to think a single McDonald's franchise is all that's standing in the way between Winnipeg and the return of pedestrians to Portage and Main.
This is the famous Portage and Main?" they typically ask. "So why can't I actually cross?
Of course, that won't be necessary if Oxford actually sells the mall and the Trizec Building. But it wouldn't happen anyway, as [Sam Katz] does not support the Portage and Main plan.

Perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Mining, and Sustainable Development Taking Harper's and the World Bank's positions together as representative of the current dominant view of the role of foreign direct investment in mining in Latin America, we must ask under what conditions mining activity might contribute to poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Harper points to the world-class corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives of Canadian mining companies, along with the Canadian government's National Roundtable report on CSR and the Extractive Sector in Developing Nations (Interview, 2007) and the World Bank's Extractive Industries Review (EIR) points to the enabling conditions of "pro-poor public and corporate governance," "effective social and envir...
