Your Majesty, don't speak or move a muscle
Last updated at 08:23, Friday, 21 December 2012
As you know I'm not the biggest fan of the Royals but even I think the latest slice of 'celebrating' Queenie's Jubilee year has gone too far.
The idea of inviting her to sit in on a Cabinet meeting is a cruel and unusual punishment that should be outlawed by the UN, NATO and Women's Institute.
Apparently, she was invited as a 'thankyou' and got her chance on Tuesday.
How thrilling and interesting will that have been?
To give her a gift out of their own pockets was decent – but placemats? PLACEMATS!
Come on! How cheap and downright dull is that?
A box-set of Countdown, one of those big Cozee Slippers where you can put both feet in one, or even a packet of Werther's Originals would have been better.
Surely a Onesie would have been best for the old girl.
Apparently, she wasn't allowed to talk during the meeting for fear of passing comment or influencing those sat round.
Well, judging by how the Coalition has fared so far, I don't think her ideas could have done much harm.
And although she couldn't speak, I like to think that Her Madge would have had fun passing on her thoughts and judgments another way.
A sharp intake of breath at Michael Gove's latest brainstorm over changing schools; a low whistle as Chancellor George Osborne announces a mansion tax; a puffing out of the cheeks and throwing down the pencil as Nick Clegg suggests rich folk should lose their bus passes and licences to eat swans...
And if any of the Cabinet look questioningly at her, she can just raise her eyebrows, mime locking her pursed lips and shrug.

Tambellini will be a good fit for the Oil
Jonathan Willis

In June 2004, Steve Tambellini was promoted to Vice President and Assistant General Manager of the Vancouver Canucks (as well as the GM of the Manitoba Moose). Yesterday, he was named as the new General Manager of the Edmonton Oilers.
HOLY COW! K-Lowe no longer GM
July 31 2008 11:56AM
Kevin Lowe is no longer the GM of the Edmonton Oilers. Let that one sink in Nation.
So, you want the Oil to be more like the Wings?

Pittsburgh Guardian of Israel Award Dinner
May 22, 2013 6:30 pm
Congregation Beth Shalom
Honoree: Rabbi Mordy Rudolph
Jewish National Fund
Rabbi Mordy Rudolph and his wife Rivkee established The Friendship Circle of Pittsburgh in September of 2006. Under their leadership, FC has grown to include approximately 350 active participants and an alumni base of over 100 young adults. The Friendship Circle has impacted the entire Jewish community and beyond, playing an instrumental role in making our Jewish community more accepting for people of all abilities. In 2007-2008, Mordy served on the Propel Pittsburgh task force, a city commission aimed towards making Pittsburgh a more enticing place for young adults to live. In 2012, Rabbi Mordy and Rivkee were awarded the Agency for Jewish Learning's Special Needs Distinguished Service Award for The Friendship Circle. As Jewish professionals, they understand the importance of the State of Israel, and brought their then three-year-old son Chaim there in the summer of 2011.

Automation Supplement
By Kim Carrera
Saint-Joseph de Beauce, Que.-based injection molder MBI Plastic Inc. recently implemented a new automation solution at its 30,000 square foot facility to address concerns about overall reliability and efficiency.
MBI is a custom molder that specializes in engineering thermoplastic material. The company also does gas assist, hot stamping, pad printing, overmolding, ultrasonic welding and several other secondary operations at its facility. The facility houses 20 injection-molding machines.
With the help of Harmo Sab Automation, the work cell was reconfigured to extract molded parts using a pick-and-place robot.
Before January 2007, molded parts were being extracted and dropped onto a conveyor belt by operators. "However, plant manager Eric Veilleux notes that the reject rate was increasing, the overall quality of the parts did not meet MBI's standards."
"Having the job completed manually became a problem because when the parts would eject from the mold they would fall down on the conveyor, and sometimes they would scratch or even break," explained Veilleux.
The custom molder wanted to reduce its part reject rate, and also minimize the overall production cycle time. "The cycle time was longer, and the overall quality of the production wasn't always reliable," said Veilleux.
MBI decided to implement a HRX 500 robot into its production process, and Veilleux says the move towards greater automation has made a significant improvement.
"The reliability, part quality and constant cycle time are so much better now," he noted. "With the help of the [Harmo Sab] robot, the reject rate decreased approximately 10 per cent."
The robot is capable of taking parts from the mold and depositing them onto the conveyor, making the cycle time more dependable.
The robot has helped minimize the number of random scratches on parts, and MBI saves approximately five to 10 seconds per cycle for all semi-automatic mode.
MBI went with Harmo Sab because of the user-friendliness and extensive background knowledge available about the robot through the company's representatives.
"We chose this particular model because the controller of the robot is very user-friendly, and the capacity of SAB Automation to make the installation and the quality of the service after the sale was well-organized," said Veilleux.
The quality of the part comes first for MBI, and the 3-axis robot has helped the company produce high-quality molded products more reliably and efficiently. Veilleux insists that quality is important for bringing customers back.
For instance, "we do a lot of electronic enclosures, where aesthetic is very important," noted Veilleux.

Parking permits to be enforced at Oceanside LIRR station
The Town of Hempstead will resume enforcing parking permits at the Oceanside Long Island Rail Road station beginning Aug. 1.
New one-year permits for $3 each are on sale for the period effective Aug. 1 to July 31, 2014. Permits will be enforced in parking lots O6, O7, O8, O10 and O11.
"As a measure to accommodate residents, many of whom lost vehicles to floodwaters during Hurricane Sandy, the Town of Hempstead had suspended enforcement of parking permits at the Oceanside train station while the area recovered from the storm," Supervisor Kate Murray said in a statement. She added, "We still have a long way on the path to recovery, but Oceanside residents have shown that they are stronger than the storm."

The permits can be purchased at the Office of the Town Clerk, on the first floor of 1 Washington Street in Hempstead, or by calling the office at 516-812-3513. Permits will also be available out of the Mobile Town Hall, which will be stationed at the Oceanside train station on July 18 from 6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Automobile registration or photocopy will be required.

The New Jersey Rockets are pleased to announce that Junior B forward Ryan Hitchcock, of Manhasset, born in 1996, has verbally committed to Head Coach Keith Allain and the Yale University Bulldogs for the Class of 2014. The scholarship offer was verbally accepted this past weekend as the New Jersey Rockets Junior B's participated in the 2011 Woodchuck Classic in Burlington, Vermont.
"Ryan has established himself as one of the top '96's in the country," commented New Jersey Rockets Head Coach and Director of Player Development Bob Thornton. "Yale offers Ryan a great education along with an outstanding hockey program to further develop his hockey skills. This was absolutely the right fit for him."
Hitchcock, whose stock rose considerably following his outstanding play in the USA Hockey Festivals and the Chowder Cup this past summer, chose the Bulldogs over offers from several other top Division I schools. "Yale was one of the first schools to show an interest," said Hitchcock. "When you get the chance to go to an Ivy League school, you accept. It is the total package. A great education and the oldest college hockey program in the United States. I'm excited to suit up for the Bulldogs."
"Hitchcock has really come on strong these last few months," added Thornton. "Yale is getting a great young player who has his best hockey still in front of him. We expect Ryan to be a big contributor to our program this year."
Hitchcock and the New Jersey Rockets began play in the MJHL last weekend by participating in the Met Kickoff Showcase being held in Pittston, Pennsylvania. The Junior B's began their quest to return to the MJHL Playoffs by facing off with the Northern Cyclones.

Esquire Grill reviews from OpenTable diners
- The Esquire Grill is a onelarryc518aolcomVIPDined on 4/22/2013The Esquire Grill is a one of a kind. The service is great, the food is done very well and they have a good wine list and a great bar to relax at.Special Features:
- service was good. cocktailOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 4/20/2013service was good. cocktail was amazing. however the food just wasn't that great.Special Features:
- Food was delicious. I hadOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/17/2013Food was delicious. I had salmon and it was cooked perfectly to my instructions and was generous in size. The vegetables were tender and had excellent flavor. My friends had the pork chop and hamburger. Both reported meals were very good. The food looked so beautiful on the plate, something some cooks in other restaurants sometimes forget to consider. Service was great from the waitress, but food was slow from the kitchen. It took about 45 minutes to get our meal after the salads. I always enjoy this restaurant and know that the food will be excellent every time.
- Date Night outBubbaKonaDined on 4/17/2013We needed a place for dinner that was close to the Memorial Auditorium and the Bonamassa show. The parking worked out great, right next door, and a two block walk to the show. Told the server what was up and he made everything work like clockwork!Special Features:
- We enjoyed another excellentScubaDined on 4/15/2013We enjoyed another excellent meal and overall experience at the Esquire Grill.
- This is our fourth visit toALJODinersDined on 4/13/2013This is our fourth visit to the Esquire, and we find that the service and service rank among the best we've had. Our server was helpful with the menu selections and suggested a wine that was an excellent paring to the food we selected. The restaurant was busy with conventioneers and prom dates, yet none of the wait staff seemed unduly stressed or harried. Our waiter engaged us personably, and the food arrived without a lengthy delay. If you're downtown before a show, or just want a nice evening out, the Esquire Grill is a wonderful choice.Special Features:
- Energetic is one descriptionOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/2/2013Energetic is one description of the noise. To us it was just plain loud to the point that it was difficult to talk and hear what our dinner partners had to say. Otherwise the food was good as was the service. The place was packed, which probably increased the noise level.
- Pricey, I ordered SOle whichBuckeye1VIPDined on 4/2/2013Pricey, I ordered SOle which was very good, but the potatoes and spinach were pretty tasteless. The appetizer artichoke was not hot nor exceptional. The apple dessert was good.Special Features:
- Great restaurant, great location.OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/30/2013Great restaurant, great location. Food and service are consistently excellent. Very reliable.Special Features:
- Our food was great! AlwaysOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 3/28/2013Our food was great! Always delicious. My guest will be returning with her husband. Our server only checked in with us once and never offered dessert which I would have ordered. I also had to try and get anyone's attention to get a refill of my iced tea. It didn't seem as though she had too many tables, but who knows? I think she could have checked in with us on at least one of the many times she passed by our table.Special Features:
- On the whole, a pleasant experienceeatwellDined on 3/27/2013On the whole, a pleasant experience, perhaps because of a helpful & personable waiter. My spinach salad was tasty, but not what one would call refined. It was just an assemblage of coarse spinach leaves with bacon, egg & dressing, but not artistically arranged. The sole was good, but not great. It had a crust & was a bit greasy. It was served with spinach & small roasted potatoes. Portions were generous. My husband enjoyed a cheeseburger & fries. Not a "cutting edge" place, but comfortable with reasonable prices.Special Features:
- We had a great lunch there!demetraVIPDined on 3/27/2013We had a great lunch there! Many options to choose from on the menu. I am hosting a large group at Esquire next week for a late lunch and we can't wait!Special Features:

- We were dissappointed in theOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 3/26/2013We were dissappointed in the crab louie. A small portion of fresh crab (which was good) served on an iceberg wedge. Not at all what I expected.Special Features:
- Prom Night = GREAT placeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/16/2013It was our Junior Prom and probably the first time all of us ever went to a restaurant like this so we were not too sure what to do or what some of the menu items were. The people who were waiters and waitresses though were really helpful and treated us great. Only thing I would say is next time we need to plan ahead and know what some of the other items are on the menu so we could try them out. The food was great.Special Features:
- My friend and I went priorOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/16/2013My friend and I went prior to a musical production across the street. She has a broken foot so the valet parking was perfect. The valets and wait staff were so accommodating. The food was amazing and i was tempted to have a second plate of salmon, puréed yams and Brussels sprouts (too much of a great thing??). Highly recommend. Their food is consistently excellent.Special Features:
- They must have been servingOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/16/2013They must have been serving too much corned beef and cabbage near St. Pat's day. Some of beef was dry and tough. Cabbage required a knife. I've had good experiences here before, so I'm assuming this was a fluke.
- Kevin was our waiter and heOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 3/16/2013Kevin was our waiter and he did a great job. I have been to the Esquire Grill before and everything is always wonderful. Needless to say my expectations were high. The reason for not rating Esquire Grill higher was because of the food, not all of it but some of it. Specifically, I ordered the Petrale Sole with mashed potatoes. The Sole was excellent, however, the mashed potatoes were cold. My date ordered the crab salad and we think that they forgot to put any crab in or if there was some it was very skimpy. Given the price we expected more.Special Features:
- I was bummed... took way toMJDWDined on 3/14/2013I was bummed... took way to long to get our order & then even longer to get the food. Thankfully it was good when it arrived. Maybe you should have a note on the menu that a medium well request for a filet will take 45 minutes.
- Great service and generousBillMDined on 3/13/2013Great service and generous portions. Valet parking makes everything accessible.Special Features:
- I had the Oven-Roasted AmishOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 3/10/2013I had the Oven-Roasted Amish Chicken with Butternut Squash polenta and Brussel sprouts pan roasted with bits of bacon. Very delicious and cooked perfectly! I was pleased to see many healthy choices on the menu! Bravo!Special Features:

- I had read quite a few reviewsOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 3/9/2013I had read quite a few reviews stating Esquire Grill had terrible service. I have to say...I disagree. Our server was very attentive and helpful. She was quick with taking our order, and our food arrived promptly. We greatly enjoyed the cheddar bisquits, and our dinner was cooked perfectly. I would definitly go back.Special Features:
- We chose the Esquire GrillOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 3/8/2013We chose the Esquire Grill because we've heard so much about it. I was disappointed. We were about the 4th table to be seated. Appetizer and salads came out timely, but we waited about 45 mins for our entrees. Overall, I was not impressed with the food. My salad was bland, my soup was much thinner than I expect chowder to be, and I had a very difficult time trying to eat my chicken as I had to cut it into pieces at the table. My husband found his filet to be bland. The banana cream pie for dessert was very good,but the apple galette was average. With so many restaurants in Sacramento to choose from, we most likely will opt for others and not come here again. Its greatest plus was its proximity to the theater.

The menu is uninspired and the food mediocre. The wait staff, however, was terrific on a busy, crowded lunch time. I don't think I will return.
- Where's the bread?DinerVIPDined on 1/26/2013Remember these 2 things. 1- Bread & butter. Don't forget to ask for bread and butter because they just won't give it to you otherwise. When you do ask, they try to up sell you on the bread. A bit tacky for an up scale place. 2- Go early! All three times we've been to the the esquire we have had to choose a different meal than we first selected on the menu. The esquire still doesn't seem to know how to stock the kitchen for the night. They have run out of specials and other standards on their menu every time we've gone. This after we show up at 6:15 pm even though they don't close until 10pm, especially on a theater night. Otherwise the place is very nice and generally the food has been prepared well.Special Features:

Ending Poverty, Promoting Development: MADRE Critiques the UN Millennium Development Goals
Posted on: Wednesday, July 20, 2005
Keywords: UN, Human Rights Advocacy, MDG
In 2000, world leaders representing all 191 countries that belong to the United Nations pledged to achieve these eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015. Since then, the goals have become the main framework for development policy worldwide. They have even been adopted by many of the international agencies and banks that control the budgets of most poor countries, giving the MDGs real currency in the political economy of UN declarations. The MDGs create opportunities for advancing women's human rights, but only if we are able to participate effectively in the process of realizing the goals.
Governments' commitments to the MDGs appear to be an extraordinary step forward, but when we scratch the surface of the goals, we find that their progress is measured by a set of technocratic "targets" and "indicators" that are limited in scope, contradictory in approach, and more concerned with statistical change than with creating the structural change that is crucial to improving the lives of women and their families worldwide.
Take Goal 3, for example (promoting gender equality and empowering women): its "target" is to eliminate gender disparity in education. Yet it will take much more than girls' education to combat the deeply entrenched violence, discrimination, stereotypes, laws, and customs that generate grave violations of women's human rights in every country of the world. The indicators intended to measure progress towards this goal are equally problematic. They include:
1. the ratio of girls to boys at all levels of schooling (with no regard for the quality or content of education and without addressing the social forces that keep girls out of school);
2. the proportion of seats held by women in national parliament (without regard for the more crucial question of whether these women respect human rights);
3. the share of women in non-agricultural sectors of the workforce (without recognition of the need for decent wages, working conditions, and public services such as day care, health care, clean water, and transportation that ease the time burden of women who are expected to work outside the home and fulfill their responsibilities within the family).
As we can see, the MDGs call for change, but not for creating the conditions to make real change possible. To address the root causes of the problems that the goals are supposed to rectify, we need to grapple with precisely those phenomena that the MDGs take for granted. These include policies that have increased poverty and inequality around the world (such as free-trade agreements, wage freezes, and hostility to worker organizing) and subordinated human rights to "national security" as defined by the Bush Administration. In fact, at a moment when the rights of both women and men have been badly eroded by such policies, we can see clearly the limitations of pursuing gender "equality." To whom should women be equal? Should women in Colombia demand "equality" with male co-workers who are being killed for union organizing? Should Rwandan women who are HIV-positive seek "equality" with Rwandan men who are denied high-priced AIDS medications? The real goal is not equality, but justice; and one of the best ways we have of ensuring justice is the fulfillment of human rights.
But the MDGs fail to even mention sexual and reproductive rights, women's labor and property rights, or one of the most fundamental obstacles to ensuring these rights, namely, violence against women. The glaring absence of these issues from the MDGs reflects the powerful role played by right-wing and fundamentalist governments such as the United States in their negotiation. Reproductive rights, in particular, have been under fire by the US since 2000, when Bush took office and began defunding international family planning programs and revamping US reproductive health policy to placate his religious fundamentalist base. Women's human rights advocates have pointed out that sexual and reproductive rights are central to achieving at least four of the MDGs: women's equality and empowerment (Goal 3); reducing child mortality (Goal 4); improving maternal health (Goal 5); and combating HIV/AIDS (Goal 6). Moreover, since human rights are indivisible, empowering women is crucial to realizing all of the goals. Conversely, none of the goals can be realized without ensuring that goal.
One way to gain insight into any policy is to look at its authors. The MDGs are sponsored jointly by the United Nations, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). While the United Nations operates within a human rights framework, the missions of the World Bank and IMF are to advance a set of economic policies that are often at odds with human rights. In fact, the MDGs infuse neoliberal priorities into development policy using the language of human rights. They seek to "eradicate extreme poverty and hunger" (Goal 1), but rely on the discredited notion that economic growth at the national level (GNP) can eliminate poverty; and they assume that privatization of services is a strategy for— rather than an obstacle to—economic development. At the heart of the MDGs beats a fundamental contradiction: poor countries are expected to meet the MDGs by implementing the very neoliberal economic policies that have, in large measure, caused the crises that the goals are intended to address. These policies include cutting government spending, privatizing basic services, liberalizing trade, and producing goods primarily for export.
As we have seen, the methodology and assumptions of neoliberal economics inform the MDGs, which rely heavily on the indicator of "absolute poverty" (which measures the proportion of the population surviving on less than a certain amount of income each day). The MDGs use the World Bank standard of an income of US $1 per day to indicate extreme poverty. This income-based measurement of poverty obscures the experience of millions of people, for whom poverty is not primarily a function of income, but of their alienation from sustainable patterns of consumption and production. Indigenous women, for example, assert that their poverty and wealth are determined primarily by access to, and control of, their natural resources and traditional knowledge, which are the sources of Indigenous culture and livelihoods. In Indigenous communities, human rights (namely, governments' recognition of collective Indigenous rights over land, natural resources, and traditional knowledge) are key to fighting poverty.
But the MDGs do not recognize that poverty is a function of human rights violations (such as the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to freedom from discrimination, and the right to development). Indeed, the MDGs posit housing, health care, and access to food and water not as non-negotiable and universal rights, but as "needs" to be met. By extension, the poor are not seen as autonomous subjects demanding that governments meet their legal obligations, but as a passive "target group" of policymaking. Sustainable development—which depends on broad civic participation, social justice, and a fundamental shift in the balance of power—is sidelined by this failure of the MDGs to operate within a human rights framework.
In fact, human rights standards are a useful yardstick for evaluating the MDGs. They reveal that the MDGs are not a spontaneous expression of governmental goodwill. Rather, the MDGs constitute pre-existing international obligations, some dating back more than 50 years. Ultimately, for the goals to be a tool for advancing women's human rights, they must be treated not as a technical process, but as a political process. MADRE is working with our sister organizations and other women's organizations internationally to push for a rights-based approach to the MDGs that goes beyond improving statistical indicators to addressing root causes of human rights violations.

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Francis has marked World AIDS Day at the Vatican.
He asked pilgrims gathered in St Peter's Square on Sunday to pray for those who were sick, as well as the doctors and researchers working on HIV/AIDS.
Francis urged the faithful to pray so that "each sick person, nobody excluded, may access the therapy they need."
The Vatican came under fire in the past for saying the best way to prevent the spread of HIV is abstinence, instead of the use of condoms. But Pope Francis' predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, received praise from the lead UN agency on HIV/AIDS for comments he made in 2010, which appeared to justify the use of condoms in certain circumstances to prevent the transmission of HIV.
According to UNAIDS, 35.3 million people around the world are living with HIV, and only 9.7 million of them have access to treatment.

Records: Virginia 3-0; UTC 2-1.
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga came out of its first day of 2012-13 wrestling competition with a 2-1 record.
Competing at Charlottesville, Va., the Mocs defeated Ohio University 21-12 and beat Anderson University 37-6 before losing 26-9 to the host Virginia Cavaliers.
Senior Niko Brown was the only three-match winner for UTC and also got the Mocs' first pin of the season. Senior Dean Pavlou, who has dropped a weight class to 141 pounds, Nick Soto (125) and Trey Stavrum (157) each picked up two victories. But in the match Soto really wanted -- against Virginia's ninth-ranked Matthew Snyder -- the 14th-ranked Moc fell 6-1.
Brown might have had the best individual performance with a win over Virginia's Michael Salopek.
"It was in overtime and Salopek is a tough kid," Mocs coach Heath Eslinger said. "Soto had a good match against Snyder. ... If that's who we wrestle in the round of 12 [at the NCAA tournament] for All-America, I'll take it."
The Mocs, who'll probably have 25 wrestlers in today's Hokie Open at Virginia Tech, wrestled a lot of those guys Saturday.
"It was educational in that we figured out some things we need to do and work on," Eslinger said.
Freshman 133-pounder Marvin Lopez began his Mocs career with a win, "and he had an opportunity to win his match against Virginia," Eslinger said.
Kevin Malone (285) had a big pin against Virginia and wrestled Ohio All-American Jeremy Johnson close, losing to the ninth-ranked heavyweight 3-1.
The toughest day for a Moc probably belonged to 174-pound Jake Young, who lost two of his three matches -- one of those to Virginia's eighth-ranked Jonathan Fausey.
"You hate it for Jake because he's so used to winning, but he hasn't wrestled in almost two and a half years," Eslinger said.

To predict the Clinton Administration's next step is foolhardy. And when it comes to the first federal restructuring bill, it's riskier still to rely on drafts that apparently were leaked to gauge...
Face-Off: The Renaissance of Nuclear Power
is its energy density. The heat value of uranium used in a light water reactor is 500,000 megajoules per kilogram. For high-Btu content coal, the value is 30 megajoules per kilogram. Residual oil is about 50 megajoules per kilogram; natural gas comes in at 40 megajoules. For wood (biomass), the heat content is on average 16 megajoules per kilogram. 4
The extraordinary heat content of uranium translates into significant environmental and economic benefits. For example, a 1,000-MW power station will consume more than 3 million tons of coal each year. If it is a nuclear power plant, the physical resource requirements are 24 tons of UO2 enriched to about 4 percent U235. This in turn requires 200 tons of natural uranium processed from 25,000 to 100,000 tons of uranium ore. 5 Even at the high end of 100,000 tons, this translates into a resource extraction ratio of 30 to 1 in favor of uranium. Similar statistical ratios can be generated comparing uranium with oil, natural gas, and biomass.
In truth, the ratio is much higher in uranium's favor. Much uranium and nuclear fuel comes from secondary sources, including other mineral mining operations and material from dismantled Russian nuclear warheads. Also, most of the uranium ore mined today comes from rich mines in Canada and Australia. Uranium is a relatively abundant element, with only one commercially practical application: generating electric power. Fossil fuels, possibly excepting coal, can have multiple applications that in part explain their higher price on a Btu basis, i.e., they have a larger potential market.
Fuel density also results in a smaller footprint for nuclear power plants and supporting facilities. Nuclear power plant sites can be more compact than similar-sized fossil stations. Also the transportation and supporting facilities to supply fuel are much smaller for nuclear power plants; large connecting rail, barge, and pipeline facilities are not necessary, and neither are fuel storage yards or tanks. The reduced need for supporting facilities also increases the flexibility to site nuclear power plants, including at more isolated and secure locations. By contrast, renewable energy facilities such as windmills and solar power plants require enormous chunks of real estate-an inevitable result of their being extremely energy diffuse.
While much is made of nuclear waste, it is small and manageable compared to other fuel forms. The 24 tons of UO2 after it is irradiated is extracted and stored, and ultimately will be encased in a repository. If processed, the amount of material that would go to the repository would be less than 700 kilograms, a small fraction. A coal-fired power plant would produce about 7 million tons of CO 2 each year, as much as 200,000 tons of SO 2 and other emissions such as NO X, and mercury. 6 While oil- and natural gas-fired power plants produce less emissions than coal plants, they are nevertheless significant.
Air emissions bring up the subject of global warming. Nuclear power plants are emission free. In 2001 nuclear power plants were the source of more than 76 percent of all emission-free generation in the United States.

The Michigan Department of Transportation is dipping its toe in the waters of self-driving cars.
FOX 17 Home
Technically called autonomous vehicles (hey, they'll be autonomous when they gas up themselves and pay for it), Nevada has already made them legal and issued a license to Google to operate one in the state. I hear that New York is looking at the question.
A notice from MDOT just landed in my inbox that announces that the state is issuing a survey to manufacturers involved in making autonomous cars and the technology that goes into them. The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) in Ann Arbor is MDOT's partner.
Believers in self-driving cars, and Google is the leader in the movement, claim that crashes can be drastically reduced when the task of driving is turned over to technology. Certainly, cars that run themselves won't spend time fiddling with a phone or feel road rage.
Why a survey? I'm not clear. In the release, Michigan Transportation Director Kirk Steudle is quoted: "This survey will play a pivotal role in determining what autonomous vehicle and robotics manufacturers need as a platform to further develop, test and deploy this technology."
The release implies that southeast Michigan would be a perfect place to research and develop autonomous vehicles. But it doesn't say Michigan is seriously looking at making them legal the way Nevada did.

Summer may be officially over, but in most areas of the country the late season harvest is still in full bloom. This delicious recipe isn't a light salad, but a satisfying, nutrient-dense mixture of ingredients that touches on all the taste points of the culinary palette. In other words, it's da bomb dot com! [by Roz Mignogna]
Cottage Radish Salad
The garden was producing baby greens, green onions, radishes, and herbs. I had cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from elsewhere. That's how this salad was born. By topping the greens with the vegetable mixture, you get a lovely presentation and greens that stay crisp until they hit your mouth. For the most flavor, texture, and fun, be sure to get both toppings and greens in each bite! [by Wardee Harmon]
Springtime Salmon, Peas, and Rice Salad
Finally, spring has arrived! I'm so glad for the longer days, bright flowers — and that feeling of hope that always comes with the calendar turn from March to April. You know what makes a perfect lunch for these light, breezy, sunshiny days? A salad of salmon, peas, and rice. It's simple to make, and the refreshing flavor perfectly suits the mood of this new season. [by Lindsey Proctor]
Individual Layered Salads — A Healthy Take on a Traditional Dish
My mother always made layered salad during the spring. She served it in one of her pretty clear glass serving dishes, and it frequently accompanied our Easter ham. I've seen many variations over the years, and I recently created my own healthier version, plus I love to serve it in individual dishes. [by Jenny Cazzola]
Simple and Nourishing Spring Salads
Beet and Goat Cheese Salad
Looking for something pretty as well as healthy to serve your guests this holiday season? Here is an easy to prepare festive red and green beet salad. If you are not a fan of beets, perhaps it is because you haven't really tasted them fresh! My husband did not care for them at all — until we began growing our own. Since both the tops and the roots can be eaten, beets perform double duty in the kitchen. For this salad, the beets are cooked and tossed warm with about two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Before serving, the salad is drizzled with olive oil. This makes for a very light, fresh tasting salad. [by Jenny Cazzola]
5 Seasonal Recipes Your Kids Can Make
In our homeschool, one of my seven-year-old daughter's favorite classes is Cooking Class. Yes, it is a big official name for an activity that most of the time is merely her helping me make dinner. But she feels important and we DO do special cooking projects as well. Last week, she and I sat down and made a list of what foods tend to grow in autumn. She then matched up her favorite recipes with that food list and we chose five to share with you. [by Kresha Faber]
What To Do With Beets (Plus Recipe For Fermented Shredded Beets)
Beets! When blessed with a harvest of beets (as we were last weekend), you can't help but say to yourself, "Now what am I going to do with all these?" And of course *some* little people may be thinking, "Oh, NO, it's time for beets again." Facing reluctant beet-eaters, your best approach for familial happiness is to prepare beets in multiple ways. You'll make full use of the harvest, plus get lots of beet nutrition in your diet. In this round-up of nutritious beet recipes, I'm going to begin with a brand-new recipe for fermented shredded beets, and then share other ideas for eating up those nutritious beets!
How to Make (and Use) Herbal Vinegar
Herbal vinegar is easy to make and provides a simple way to add flavor to salad dressings, marinades, and every day meals. Herbal vinegars made using apple cider vinegar are suitable for cosmetics, too. This project requires some pre-planning, since the herbs must steep for at least a week (and often up to three weeks), but it's worth it.

Recipe by Martha White®
"Practically a meal in a muffin, these corn muffins are made with mustard, shredded Cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon."
Watch video tips and tricks
Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 (6 ounce) package
Martha White® Cotton Country™ Cornbread Mix
1 teaspoon
dry mustard
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
sour cream
large egg, beaten
1 cup
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup
cooked, crumbled bacon
Five stars due to the fact that it is such a simple, quick and savory side dish! Judging the recipe AS IT IS, I would say it is very good. Yes, it is a corn muffin and thus could potentially pale in comparison to more elaborate side dishes. However, for a weekday "oh my, what am I going to put on the side with my main dish?!" option, this hit the spot; after all, how can you go wrong with bacon and cheese?
I am sure that one could oomph it up with more herbs or spice. I would say that tarragon, oregano or basil would give it a little more finesse. Personally, next time I might just add about ½ teaspoon of either smoky paprika or chipotle powder.
I think the most important aspect is that my 1.5 and 3.5 year old boys really liked it, which is reason enough for me. I must say that two muffins magically disappeared in the process of taking them out of the over and putting them on the plate…
They were terrible. The bread was the worst part. I think the cornbread mix needed to be changed to something sweeter.

YUM! So tasty & moist!
These are great muffins for busy mornings! I make the mix up the night before so all I have to do in the morning is fill up the muffin cups and bake! My daughter and husband both love these and ask for them regularly!!
I skipped the bacon and the dry mustard--I kept everything else the same. Baked at 400*, these were done at exactly 15 minutes. VERY moist. The kids especially liked this.
These were excellent. Made them up as mini muffins and froze ahead of time. Threw some homemade chili in the slow cooker and thawed these out and reheated...dinner's already done when I get home from a busy day at work!
Very good recipe. They were moist which I liked because I don't care for overly dry cornbread. I added 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion and kept all other measurements and ingredients the same. I made 24 mini muffins. I needed to fill them almost to the top instead of 2/3 full but that was no problem. They came out beautifully after 15 minutes, not a mile high and not stuck together or on top of the pan. Next time I might add a dash of salt and pepper or even vegetable seasoning.
I'm a newbie to making cornbread anything but I wanted to try this recipe with the rest of my southern-style New Year's dinner. Very glad I did! I could only find an 11.5oz package of cornbread mix so I used that and doubled all the other ingredients. I also added a large handful of sliced scallions (green parts only). Also, the cooking time wasn't long enough for me (but it could just be my extremely old oven). So I baked regular sized muffins at 400 for 15 minutes then turned down to 375 for 3-4 minutes and they were cooked all the way through without being dry. This made 18 muffins with the doubling. Next time I may add a pinch of salt to the batter as well, but overall it's a great recipe. Thanks!
