  • She adamantly denies this. She point-blank tells me she's not had any contact with him," [Wendy Friesen] said. The Crown was fighting the man's application to be released on bail, saying there was a strong case against him and the victim was living in constant fear since being attacked in October 2007. The accused wasn't arrested until February and had been in custody ever since. "She admits she lied to me earlier and yes, she sent all of these things to him in the institution," Friesen said. She then dropped her opposition to bail, admitting "I don't have a ground to stand on. Police were called after the woman ran to a neighbouring suite, naked from the waist down, yelling and screaming. She then claimed she'd been attacked by the accused. [Sheldon Pinx] said it's clear no such att...

  • Do you think writers need to suffer in order to write?" he inquired. Admittedly, I don't remember Joseph's answer because I was stunned at what I considered the stupidity of the question. "Do writers need to suffer in order to write?" That inquiry just floored me. I still grind my teeth at the thought of that question. I know I've suffered in my own way. Granted I'm not dying of consumption or learning to walk after a tragic car accident, but last year I had to deal with the death of my mother. I'm the only child of a single parent. You do the math. In the larger context, I've had broken hearts, weathered unkind public criticisms, and more recently, I've marked the passing of the television show LOST. I have yet to find a country song that properly reflects that particular pain. Basica...

  • The F 600 HyGenius is Mercedes-Benz's futuristic-looking fuel cell-powered vehicle. Using a 115-horsepower electric motor that produces 258 pound-feet of torque at Rev One, a lithium-ion battery pack, a four-kilogram hydrogen tank and a fuel cell capable of a cold start down to -25C, the F 600 boasts an equivalent fuel economy of just 2.6 litres per 100 kilometres and a range of 400 km. It's also quite silent in operation, which cuts the growing noise pollution problem and boasts good off-the-line performance and a comfortably functional interior. Factor in that it produces zero emissions and the F 600 At Circuito Monteblanco, a modern track just outside Seville, Mercedes had everything from the upcoming M 450 Two-Mode BlueHybrid (a technology it shares with BMW, Chrysler and General Mo...

  • Now we're looking at a new family of crossovers -- sport utility vehicles with car-like unibody construction -- the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and the subject of this review, Saturn's new Outlook. These three do-it-all haulers are built on GM's new-for-'07 Lambda platform and truly mark a new era wherein General Motors offers consumers a trio of competent, great-looking, well-built machines that deserve due consideration by consumers. The centre stack design is clean and simple, but it's the fake wood trim that I'm not crazy about, and I suspect many buyers will feel the same way. The only other bothersome detail was the dash-top covered storage bin. Opening it requires pushing down on a button in the lid, which prevents it from lifting. Go figure. Not surprisingly, the bin's lid in our...

  • In my view, they are the final insult to a beautiful and increasingly empty land. Over the last 70 years, the efforts of politicians, economists and bankers have pretty well emptied the countryside of the western provinces. In a mad orgy of destruction, railroads have been torn up, elevators knocked down and farmsteads abandoned. The mad excess in the consumption of energy that characterizes what increasingly appears to be a dying way of life, if not civilization, now desires to replace the humanity that used to fill the countryside, with these great, ugly, threshing monstrosities, assaulting our sight wherever we turn. Our government, led by gregarious, grinning Gary Doer, who never saw an open field he didn't think would be improved by a power-generating windmill, wants to make our p...

  • This paper explores decision making processes in farm families with off farm working wives in post socialist Hungary based on an interview material with ten farm families. Decision making concerning issues of consumption and production is seen as a key arena for the articulation of gender relations within the farm family. Farm families with the husband being the head of the enterprise and the wife having an off farm wage labour constitute a specific case. Off farm incomes, in Hungary, played a crucial role in the capital accumulation phase of the farms. As previous research indicated, off farm incomes often constitute an integral part of the overall farm strategy. Off farm working wives contribute to the reproduction of the farm enterprise in diverse ways, such as through direct partici...

  • China has experienced pressing energy shortages in recent years, and Beijing has intensified its efforts to secure China's energy supply through both increased domestic production and external expansion. In this paper, I first analyze China's global quest for energy by looking at the correlation between China's economic growth and its energy security concerns. I then examine the implications of China's "go-out" strategy through two sets of case studies. I argue that China's global search for energy is primarily driven by its rapid economic growth, out of insecurity rather than a master plan to dominate the world, and that China's energy security issues have multiple implications beyond simple economic concerns. Finally, I recommend a forward-looking engagement policy to be adapted by Ca...
