PROCEEDINGSMR. GERRY RICE: Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you for coming to the Development Committee Press Conference. Let me just introduce to you the speakers on the podium. We have the Chairman of the Development Committee, Minister Trevor Manuel; and, in addition, we have the President of the World Bank, Mr. Jim Wolfensohn; and Deputy Managing Director Anne Krueger here for the Managing Director of the Fund; and Tom Bernes, who is the Executive Secretary of the Development Committee.
I will be inviting Minister Manuel to say a few words, and Jim Wolfensohn to say a few words, and then we'll throw this thing open to questions from the floor.
As usual, the transcript from this press conference will be available on the web. Furthermore, the papers presented to the Development Committee, as you know, are also available on the web. And I would ask you if you could please identify yourselves in asking the questions. And one other bit of housekeeping is that Anne Krueger has to leave at around 4:15. So, if there is a particular question for her, you might want to get that one in fairly early.
And, with that, I'd like to ask Minister Manuel to say a few opening remarks, followed by Jim Wolfensohn.
MR. MANUEL: Thank you very much.
The Development Committee paid a lot of attention to two sets of issues; the one is the World Development Report which was released yesterday. The World Development Report, as you know, is focused on ensuring that the poor have access to services, and it deals quite analytically with the obstacles to improving on the quality of life of poor people around the world and deals with a fair amount of bottom-up analysis of the situation. So that was the one issue.
The other is quite an important paper on financing good policies. So good policies, it's about poor people, it's about defining what development is in the present milieu, and it comes after some work has been done by the World Bank team in preparation for the Monterrey Conference on Financing for Development and has been used since, and that's a set of work that's focused on aid effectiveness.
So we had a very good discussion on that. And I think the gist, as the communique would reflect, is that good policies support development. You need good governance, you need transparency, and you need the measure of change that aid brings to the lives of people, and it's exceedingly important that we can communicate to those who are deemed to be reluctant about development aid; namely, taxpayers in wealthy countries.
And so, for us, in the Development Committee, a fair amount of attention, and I think an empirical basis for arguing that if the rules are clear, and if there is long-term commitment to aid, then development works. And if you want issues, such as the Fast Track on Education, then it's important to be able to finance that over a period of time because you must make a commitment to 2015 if you want educational change. It's one set of issues.
Taking all of that together, and I think the communique sends a set of strong messages about that, and the other are the issues of voice. We have to be able to deal with what we described in the meeting as the deficit of democracy in these institutions. I think we learned, from Cancun, and we say that there is a place for multilateralism, that our struggle, all of us, those in the World Bank, those in the IMF, and those of us as member states of these institutions.
Similarly, as member states of the WTO or of the U.N., we battle for a place for multilateralism. And if you want multilateralism to work, then you need to draw on the experiences, all of them, including those of Cancun last week, and then find a very special place.
And so we've given ourselves some time to focus attention and energy on an examination of the issues of democracy and the functioning of the Bank and Fund, and it's a matter that we will return to at the Annual Meetings next year. The communique reflects that we will pause to consider this matter when we convene in April at the Spring Meetings.
So there's an agenda of work to ensure that we can deal with this going forward. I will stop there.
Thank you.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: Well, I think I would simply add that there are a number of specific tasks that will be taken up before next time; the first is looking at the IFF (International Financing Facility) of Gordon Brown and alternative methods of raising the additional funding that is required.
We were asked to continue on the Rome Agenda, which you will recall was an attempt to get coordination of effort in the international community.
We discussed the question of scaling up -- how you can deal in scale with the questions of development, and we were reminded that in the first half of next year, we'll be having a meeting in Shanghai on this subject and that we should be prepared for it.
We'll also be following through on the HIPC (Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative) follow-up, in terms of scaling up on reporting back on the results of the Education for All Initiative, which is an initiative that you're all familiar with, but where there was, and there is some issues of adequacy of additional resources.
And, finally, the infrastructure program, where we're asked to look not only again at our own program, but the integration of all efforts. Ministers also supported our work in the West Bank and Gaza. And those I think are the few additions I'd make to what you said, Mr. Chairman.
MR. RICE: Okay. Thanks very much, Jim.
We'll throw it open for questions. Let me just mention that there will be available at the end of the conference the presentation on the financing of the MDGs that was made by Nick Stern, the Chief Economist of the Bank, at the beginning of this morning's meeting.
Let's throw it open for questions.
Yes, sir? Yes, sir?
QUESTION: Me?
MR. RICE: Do you want to ask a question?
At the front.
QUESTION: I'm Anthony Reilly, Emerging Markets. My question is for Mr. Wolfensohn, really.
Secretary Snow seems to be asking you at the Bank not only to measure performance closely, but even to tie your salaries--staff salaries--to performance and tying staff performance incentives to the quality of development outcomes, rather than the quantity of development flows. Can you comment on that?
And you mentioned the IFF. Can you comment on your view of the IFF, as such, or whether you think the proposed last put forward by Gordon Brown needs substantial modification before it finally bears fruit?
MR. WOLFENSOHN: Well, the first issue, I, frankly, was not aware that the suggestion had been made by the Secretary of the Treasury that we should tie our salaries to performance, but I would be thrilled if he did because we've obviously performed so well that we'll get more salary than we have already. So I look forward to that discussion and am grateful to the Secretary for suggesting it. If you could give me copies of what he said, I'd appreciate it. I can take it up with him.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: The second thing is that, on IFF, I think there was general agreement by everybody that it was really worth looking at alternative ways of raising additional funding. And I think the unique contribution that Gordon made was to put a number on it of $50 billion a year and that we should pitch to that number.
I think what we're asked to do by the members of the Committee was to analyze it and come back with comments that we would then draw from them and from the Chancellor on the IFF facility and to look at alternative ways that one could raise funding. And I wouldn't want to prejudge how we're going to come out. We're asked to report in six months' time, and I look forward to doing that report.
MR. RICE: Yes, sir? Paul?
Could you please identify yourself?
QUESTION: Why is the issue of voice being, as it were, pushed back as far as next year's meeting rather than the Spring Meetings? Is it basically because you've still got deep disagreements, and it's not realistic to think you can get very far at this stage?
MR. MANUEL: I think that on the issue of voice, Paul, there will be deep disagreements. You have a structure that has evolved over a period of 59 years. It has granted certain rights and denied other rights. And I think that part of dealing with the issue of voice is, in fact, tampering with the status quo. And some of that or a lot of that would be entrenched in Articles, and so, you know, I don't think that you can ripen this tomato by squeezing it. It will take a lot of work. It's going to take a lot of nurturing. It's going to take a lot of political argument.
There are parts of it that I think have such profound logic that it's actually embarrassing to try and argue against. But power is a strange thing. It is not something that easily is given up, and I think that we must, therefore, pace ourselves.
So we will come through at the Spring Meetings with, I don't want to use the term "road map" loosely, but some route, map, that would allow us to pace ourselves to get through particular milestones but also afford us an opportunity to take stock of all of the elements that we want in a final report. And so, we give ourselves six months to the Spring Meetings and then return at the Annual Meetings next year to report. But by making that public commitment, I think we are, in fact, applying a lot of pressure on ourselves to deliver within 12 months what clearly is a very, very difficult piece of work.
MR. RICE: At the front here? It's right there.
QUESTION: Simon Kennedy, Bloomberg News.
A question for President Wolfensohn. Also in Secretary Snow's text, there was kind of a call for a review of the World Bank budgets over the next year. What will you be doing to address his issues on that, and is there anything that you can do or plan to do to kind of preempt some of his criticisms?
MR. WOLFENSOHN: Well, I review the budget with the Board for a period of months every year, and the Board unanimously approved it. I am thrilled and delighted to take up the budget with any Minister at any time, so long as they give me the time to sit down and discuss it.
So, far from being upset about it, I would welcome the opportunity of talking to the Secretary or any Minister on our budget. I am incredibly proud of what we have done in the last eight years. In fact, it would be my guess that our budget has gone up less than any government or any international organization. And so, it would be nice to have it reviewed and then get some praise. So I am looking forward to it.
MR. MANUEL: Are you looking forward to it with me as well?
MR. WOLFENSOHN: No, not you, no, no, no.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: I love Trevor Manuel.
MR. RICE: Yes, sir?
QUESTION: Question for Mr. Wolfensohn. James Cordahi from Bloomberg. I wonder if I can just get your views on yesterday's announcement by the Iraqi Finance Minister on the sweeping economic reforms that he announced yesterday and obviously with American encouragement. Some would say they're quite radical. What's your view on that?
MR. WOLFENSOHN: Well, obviously, I read them, but I have not looked at them within the context of what is possible inside Iraq. As you probably know, we are in the process now of trying to review our studies, and I'll be meeting with the Iraqis on Wednesday. We are in the middle of preliminary work. Obviously, if I had to go settle in Iraq, it would be nice to pay a 15-percent flat tax and--what is it?--a 5-percent tariff. But I have no idea how it fits into the economics of Iraq.
As a theoretical principle, I think it's pretty good. The only better system I could see is the one in the UAE, where there is no tax.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: But I think the only way of reviewing it is within the context of the Iraqi budget. And as I think you know, we're not yet at a point of knowing what the budget is.
QUESTION: From a political point of view, do you think they should have waited until there was an elected government for such a radical change?
MR. WOLFENSOHN: I really haven't given it any thought. I don't know that they have a current system. So at least now, they have a system. It doesn't sound wild to me. But to give any intelligent comment, the only way you can look at budgets or look at tax plans and look at economic plans is within an economic context. And we have not finished our examination of what the budget is in that country. Maybe Anne knows, but I don't. So it's impossible for me to comment. Maybe Mr. Manuel can comment.
MR. MANUEL: No.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: I don't know how you do it.
Anne, do you have a response?
MS. KRUEGER: Just to say that we at the Fund are working on trying to get a budget. Some numbers are beginning to fall into place. There is a lot more work to be done, and everything has wide margins of uncertainty.
MR. RICE: Okay; other questions?
Mr. Rowley again? Looks like this may be a quick press conference.
QUESTION: Well, this is probably to Minister Manuel. Secretary Snow again calls on the World Bank to work with Iraq to provide, "substantial financial support" to Iraq as soon as possible. I don't know what substantial means, but is that a view that's shared generally by World Bank shareholders? Do you think that the Bank should provide substantial financial support to Iraq at this stage?
MR. MANUEL: Well, I think the operative term is "as soon as possible." And the "as soon as possible" was defined in the Spring Meeting communique of the Development Committee and the IMFC, and that "as soon as possible" is defined as having a counterparty. The World Bank is constrained by its own Articles from lending to an entity that can't commit its successors to repayments. So whilst the need exists to undertake very detailed analysis of what is required, it is important that the status of the government in Iraq be clarified.
That is not a matter for the World Bank or its shareholders sitting in that forum. I think it is a matter for the United Nations, and you need a Security Council resolution on the status of government in Iraq as a precursor to any lending. In respect of the quantum, I think it would have to be driven by a project-to-project basis. There are some issues that, in international law, occupying forces are responsible for, and there are other issues that are fundamentally developmental and longer-term in their nature that would require the decisions of the Security Council.
I think I'm on safe ground with this issue.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: You're the Chairman.
MR. RICE: Any other questions?
In the middle here?
QUESTION: Hi. Christopher Swan, Financial Times.
Just wondering: why is it taking so long to evaluate the IFF? And can you say anything about other possible plans that you might have in mind?
MR. WOLFENSOHN: Well, the evaluation of the IMF was undertaken by the United Kingdom Treasury, who, at our last meeting, if you will remember, indicated that it was going round to test the concept with the other major shareholders. And they took the responsibility of going out and talking to the other shareholders to evaluate the proposal. We gave them some technical help, and I think what they have now come up with this time is a continued interest on the part of some shareholders in the IFF and on the part of others, no interest.
But since they want to try and get everybody together, they have now come back to us and said look at all of the alternatives and come back in six months' time. But it was not our responsibility the last six months. As you probably know, the United Kingdom Treasury has been around seeing people, and I don't regard this as a setback. I think it is just the next stage. I don't think they got unanimous approval to it, and so, now, they have asked us to look at other things. And just about every form of international funding is being suggested, again, and so, we need to come back and take a look at it and hopefully resolve it at the next meeting.
The one really good thing that I think has emerged is that I think there is now a general acceptance that there is a need for more money. And that, I take to be the important message from this meeting. And that, of course, is particularly influenced by the fact that if you do not have an agreement in Cancun on trade, then, there is significant pressure to have a transfer of resources through development assistance. And so, now, they're saying let's look at all of the things; try and resolve the argument on the IFF.
But the advance of these meetings is that it is pretty clear that everybody accepts, as a result of the work that we did in the discussion, that existing or projected levels won't do it.
MR. RICE: At the back here?
QUESTION: Mr. Trevor Manuel, could you please tell us at the end of the meeting if you would take something back to Africa and to the NEPAD concerning the financing of the NEPAD development project?
MR. MANUEL: NEPAD has had a precursor in the Monterrey Consensus, and the Monterrey Consensus is a large premise of partnership. It argued that we need to or wealthy countries need to avail a lot more resources and developing countries need to make some commitments in respect of governance, in respect of improving on the quality of life of people and so on. So in broad terms, the approach of NEPAD and the approach of the Monterrey Consensus is exactly the same.
Those issues are there and we have a program now within NEPAD where the African peer review mechanism was appointed. There's a process underway of peer reviews now. 16 countries have signed up, and maybe more now, maybe more than 20, to the peer review mechanism. That work will be undertaken and that will be made available.
On the other side, I think that the point that Jim Wolfensohn had just made is that there is a commitment to enlarging the pool of resources available. And if you look at the financing options within the NEPAD document as agreed to by heads of state at the Lusaka conference, the last conference of the OAU, you would see that the language is similar to that within the Monterrey Consensus.
Market access is actually part of the development paradigm. So the issues that follow from Cancun are important for the success of NEPAD, and I think that's a message that we take from here that the World Bank and IMF are in agreement that we must work to conclude the trade round that should have been completed in Cancun. So we attach a lot of weight to the ministerial meetings to be held in December. We are all in agreement on that.
Similarly, the issues of improved transparency which arise from the African peer review mechanism make it easier to undertake the funding including on the Millennium Development Goals such as the Fast Track Initiative for Education for All.
The big challenge for us is to enlarge overall the pool of funds, and here I think that you look on the one hand at the issues that have already been covered where whether you're talking of financing better policies or you're talking of the initiative like the International Financing Facility. In whatever guise it comes through, we say that the world has a responsibility to raise more money to ensure that countries can undertake that work which is marked as a development deficit, be it in education, health care, provision of water and sanitation. Those become important and that is realizing the Millennium Development Goals. I think we're talking exactly the same language through NEPAD and the other U.N. agreements which we're all performing against within the World Bank and IMF at present.
MR. RICE: Okay. I think we have time for one or two more questions if there are any.
QUESTION: Sorry, Mr. Manuel, if I heard you correctly, you said that the Fund wouldn't lend to Iraq unless there was a U.N. resolution on the status of the Iraqi government. First, if you can confirm that that was what you said?
MR. MANUEL: That was what I said because that is what I believe to be the correct position. You see the Fund and the Bank can lend to member states, and the definition of member states is not at the whim or caprice of Jim Wolfensohn and Horst Kohler. These are, in fact, issues that need legal definition, and unless you're clear about that and unless you've got the backing of an outside agency like the U.N. in the instance, it becomes exceedingly difficult. Because if they take the money of the shareholders and lend it to an entity that doesn't have the right to bind its successor after an election or whatever, it may be considered to be a fruitless expenditure.
QUESTION: So the same applies to the Bank therefore?
MR. MANUEL: I'd like to believe that the same applies to the Bank, yes.
QUESTION: And in the absence of a U.N. resolution, the governing council that currently exists in Iraq does not constitute a legal government?
MR. MANUEL: I think that that is the international position, but this does not preclude the very detailed work that the Bank and Fund have been doing in trying to assess the development needs. The Bank has been there arising from our discussions at the Spring Meetings. Mr. Wolfensohn would advise that it's actually been a very tragic stay there. He himself visited as part of the mission, but in the bombing of the U.N. headquarters, the World Bank tragically lost a life and saw injury to a number of people.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: Three people.
MR. MANUEL: Three people. But people were there because they were deployed on an understanding that presumably when the U.N. resolution is in place, you can't delay the implementation program. You need that and in order to get there, you must actually have undertaken some detailed analysis.
MR. WOLFENSOHN: My understanding is there was another bombing this morning. You might want to check the news wires.
MR. RICE: Last question from anyone? If not, then thanks for very much to everyone on the podium, and thanks to you. Again, copies of the communique are available at the press desk and the presentation that was made this morning.
(Whereupon, at 4:20 p.m., the press briefing was concluded.)

Webster Dictionary
one who provides gratification for the lust of others; a procurer; a pander
to procure women for the gratification of others' lusts; to pander
A pimp is an agent for prostitutes who collects part of their earnings. This act is called procuring or pandering. The pimp may receive this money in return for advertising services, physical protection, or for providing, and possibly monopolizing, a location where he or she may engage clients. A woman who runs a brothel is known as a madam rather than a pimp. Like prostitution, the legality of certain actions of a madam or a pimp vary from one region to the next. Pimps may punish johns for physical abuse or failure to pay, advertise services to potential clients without alerting police, and enforce exclusive rights to 'turf' where their prostitutes may advertise and operate with less competition. In the many places where prostitution is outlawed, sex workers have decreased incentive to report abuse for fear of self-incrimination, and increased motivation to seek any physical protection from clients and law enforcement that a pimp might provide. The pimp-prostitute relationship can be abusive and possessive, with the pimp/madam using techniques such as psychological intimidation, manipulation, starvation, rape and/or gang rape, beating, confinement, threats of violence toward the victim's family, forced drug use and the shame from these acts. Pimps can be arrested and charged with pandering and are legally known as procurers.

Report: Yankees offer Joe Girardi a multiyear contract
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com October 4, 2013 9:31PM
The Yankees reportedly made an offer of $4 to $5 million in an attempt to keep manager Joe Girardi.
The waiting game surrounding Joe Girardi continued into the weekend for the Cubs after the New York Yankees reportedly offered their manager a "very generous" offer to remain with the team.
The New York Daily News said it is believed that offer is for a multiyear contract worth between $4 million and $5 million.
Many within the Cubs' organization remain optimistic they will get a chance to lure their top candidate to the North Side, industry sources said on Friday.
The Cubs have not been granted permission by the Yankees to interview Girardi, whose three-year, $9 million contract expires at the end of the month.
The Washington Nationals also reportedly asked permission to speak with Girardi, but sources close to the Nationals' thinking do not believe Girardi is a priority target for the team.
Girardi, a Peoria native and former Cubs first-round pick out of Northwestern, has deep local ties. His wife is from the north suburbs and still has family there.
He was an ownership favorite for the Cubs' managerial job two of the last three times it was open, but then-general manager Jim Hendry hired Lou Piniella and later Mike Quade instead.
The Cubs are prepared to offer a contract similar to the one described by the Daily News, according to sources.
Sources close to the Cubs and others close to Girardi told the Sun-Times in the last week that the sides have expressed mutual interest through back channels in recent weeks.
Team president Theo Epstein has spent the week putting together a list of candidates as a backup plan in case Girardi accepts the Yankees' offer, with Sandy Alomar Jr., A.J. Hinch and Manny Acta among the confirmed names of interest.
Despite loose reports and speculation involving Mike Maddux, his brother Greg, and former big-league catcher Brad Ausmus, none of those are considered potential candidates by the Cubs, according to those close to the process.

You can never have too many shoes
There's no perfect, crystal clear answer here. Without a doubt, fitting and sizing is the hardest part of finding a pair of shoes. Sure, you can measure your foot and have an idea of what size it is, but sizes vary (sometimes extremely) from manufacturer to manufacturer. The width and arch of your foot, along with its thickness, also plays an important part in how a shoe fits. Sometimes even the way you walk can affect if a shoe is comfortable or not! Also, the material the shoes are made out of matter a lot. Leather
The best deals on shoes are often found online, as plenty of major shoe brands are being sold at outlet prices across the web. However, if the fit is wrong or they don't look right, there is the hassle of shipping them back. To avoid this inconvenience and still get the most for your money, there are some helpful hints:
Find what you need to go from corporate office to lounging on the beach.
|Search for Men's Shoes
Ladies can't get enough of shoes, and who can blame them? There are so many cute styles out there, it's tempting to buy them all!
|Search for Women's Shoes
Sure, kids grow out of shoes at lightning speeds, but there's no reason they can't look cute and stylish with each new pair of shoes!

About the Book
With a pop-up scene on every page, children will cherish this selection of favorite stories from the Old and New Testaments. From the moment Baby Moses is found floating in a basket among the bulrushes to Jesus' stilling of the storm, children will be captivated by Daniel Howarth's remarkable illustrations as each story pops off the page.
About the Author:
Juliet David has written many children's stories and Bible activity books. Her other interests include painting, music, and traveling to Israel and other Bible lands. This experienced author lives in London with her family.
My Review
Nothing is more fun for kids to read than a pop-up book. Seeing the pages move right before their eyes brings an added excitement to story time.
There are five different pop-up stories that your child will enjoy reading as well as watching come alive. Each has a small passage to read and references a Bible passage to look up for further reading.
In order for the pages to move properly, they need to be flexible but not overly stiff. This book is labeled for children three and up, but sometimes kids get enthusiastic and are not as gentle as they should be. I wish this book could have been a little longer and the pages a little bit thicker, but even as is, the book will be fun for kids to look at and enjoy over and over again.

KINGSVILLE - An appeals court has reversed a conviction against Kleberg County Commissioner Romeo Lomas.
Prosecutors said Lomas had used his position as a commissioner to have some debris removed from property he owned.
The judges ruled the court handling the 2010 case for misuse of county equipment and employees had made an error in admitting certain evidence to the trial.
Lomas received jail time, which was suspended pending appeal, and ordered to pay an $1,800 fine.
The Texas Attorney General's office has 30 days to appeal the reversal of the conviction.
Lomas has served as a commissioner for roughly 30 years.

kinds of people used to visit our Lehighton, Pennsylvania home to see Coenosium
Gardens and purchase some little plant treasures. If an 'out of towner' had
trouble finding us, just about anyone in town could direct him to the house with
'weird looking' plants all around it. Those weird looking plants were a
magnet for conifer collectors from many parts of the country. A wide variety of
plants with many different shapes, sizes, textures and colors were located
throughout our gardens. One group which attracted considerable comment was the
golden group. To the uninitiated these plants appeared sick or dying, a fact
that all collectors have come up against. For example, we had two golden
oriental arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis 'Conspicua') flanking the
entrance to our house. Every winter we were questioned about their bronzed
appearance as visitors wondered what was happening to these plants.
we have moved to the Northwest, our collection has grown so that it now fills
almost three acres with a wide range of conifers in all colors. The blues and
golds add variety and interest to the planting with the golds providing a bright
contrast to the basic greens, especially on cloudy days. The gold conifers that
are used for landscaping our gardens are not the dull, chlorotic golds of sick
plants. Rather they are the bright, vibrant golds and yellows of very healthy
plants. These are golds that are either present throughout the year, varying in
brightness with the season, or golds that are seasonal, becoming bright at
certain times of the year while green the rest of the time.
conifers are the Dr. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes of the conifer world. They are the
gaudiest of the conifers. When used properly, they add allure and elegance to
the landscape. A source of bright color throughout the year, once used they are
often considered indispensable. Most people enjoy a splash of color in the
garden. Flowers add such color but only ephemerally so. On the other hand,
selected conifers serve the same function for extended time periods.
best example I have seen of golden conifers utilized throughout a landscape was
in the village of East Hampton, Long Island, New York. Here on an estate named
The Creeks, Alfonso Ossorio and Edward Dragon
established an arboretum. An artist, Ossorio created a sixty acre work of
art by painting with trees. By combining and blending colors, sizes, and
textures, his everchanging artwork was pleasing to the eye through all four
seasons. The most utilized color was gold, obtained by planting many different
golden conifers. Conifers were preferred because the colors were present
throughout the year. The success of Ossorio and Dragon was obvious since they
entertained hundreds of visitors every year. Unfortunately Ossorio died several
years ago, and the present owner of the estate has closed it to visitors.
winter countryside can be quite drab and uninteresting with no bright flowers or
colorful leaves on trees and shrubs. The typical winter landscape around many
homes is also quite monotonous with a few different shades of dark green
provided by varieties of Taxus media
and Thuja occidentalis. Gold conifers
are being discovered and do pop up upon occasion. When one homeowner on the
block adds some color to the winter landscape, neighbors take notice and the
local retailer will have requests for some of these plants.
selecting a golden conifer, a person should consider the intensity of
coloration. Some of the more weakly colored plants appear chlorotic, as if
suffering from a nutrient deficiency, giving them a washed-out, yellow-green
appearance. These must be avoided since they will only "turn off" the
amateur looking for something gold. A gold plant that burns in the summer or
winter sun can also cause a homeowner to be unhappy. Cultural requirements must
also be understood by anyone purchasing a scorch-prone golden conifer.
was introduced into Europe in 1839. Native to northern Africa, this species his
produced several very important cultivars for the home landscape. There are only
two golden forms, 'Aurea' and 'Aurea Robusta', both of which become
large trees in time. Of the two, I prefer 'Aurea Robusta' due to the bluish
undertones of the needles. The color is very yellow, and established plants
resist burning in the full sun. This species does not tolerate harsh winter
climates, an unfortunate characteristic that is quite common to Cedrus
in general(with few exceptions).
golden forms of Cedrus deodara can be
quite confusing, with more being added from time to time. My choices for the
best uprights would be 'Gold Cone', 'Klondike', and 'Vink's Gold'.
Cedrus deodara 'Gold Cone' is a fast-growing tree with
bright gold coloration and a narrow growth habit. The color is quite good
throughout the year. 'Klondike' is most attractive in the winter, when it
takes on a bronze-gold color, an excellent contrast to its summer
coloration, which is quite close to green and not at all striking. A broader
growing selection, 'Vink's Gold' has good color with blue-green
undertones, making it quite different from the others.
Cedrus deodara 'Gold Cone'
Cedrus deodara 'Gold Cascade'
Cedrus deodara 'Harvest Gold'
Cedrus deodara 'Klondike'
prostrate cultivar of Cedrus deodara
was selected as a seedling in 1975 and aptly named 'Golden Horizon'. This
cultivar grows quite fast and has very good color in the sun. It has a spreading
habit and does not grow very high. It does develop an occasional terminal shoot,
but immediate removal will keep the plant quite low. Another selection found
about the same time is Cedrus deodara
'Gold Mound'. This plant becomes a bright yellow, low, broad pyramid. It is
very dense but does need some room to develop.
Cedrus deodara 'Gold Mound'
'Gold Nugget' is a new miniature selection from Australia. I have been
trying to build up numbers for eight years but find it a difficult process
because the plant grows very slowly. The bright gold color does resist burning.
'Aurea' is a slow-growing, conical tree with golden yellow
needles possessing green undertone (the Cedrus
atlantica forms have a grey undertone). Cedrus
libani 'Aurea Prostrata' and 'Golden Dwarf' are apparently side
branch grafts of 'Aurea' that tend to sprawl or go upright at an angle
rather than grow directly upward.
which is native to Japan, has produced as many variants as any other conifer
species. The geneticist would say that this species has 'loose genes'. Its
proclivity for mutation is amazing. Most of its named cultivars have come from
seed, and a nice assortment of golden forms has resulted.
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Golden Fern'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Golden Pygmy'
Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Kamaeni Hiba'
dwarfest of the golden Chamaecyparis
obtusa variants is 'Golden Sprite', which originated as a seedling from
'Gracilis Aurea'. It is a moplike, little plant that requires almost ten
years to attain the size of a cantaloupe. As with many of the golden conifers,
'Golden Sprite' has a tendency to burn in the harsh summer sun. Some
afternoon shade will prevent this while still maintaining the rich, gold color.
Among the most popular and better known of the golden Hinoki Cypresses is 'Nana Lutea'. A golden sport on 'Nana Gracilis', it was introduced to the nursery trade in Holland less than forty years ago. The gold coloration is very bright, and established plants exhibit little burn in the full sun. One of the early specimens brought into the United States is a compact bush about 5' tall and 4' wide at the base with very evident leaf sprays. The compact, tight plants bought from commercial nurseries have been trimmed to maintain their tight growth habit. And, interestingly, the growth rate of this plant may be increased 50% by grafting.
grafted, most of the Chamaecyparis obtusa
cultivars will grow faster, with only a minimal loss of compactness. They will
also be more tolerant of clay soils, Thuja
occidentalis works well as a compatible understock with Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' or 'Pyramidalis' being
especially suitable.
late Joe Reis of Long Island, New York collected and germinated Chamaecyparis obtusa seeds at every opportunity. He grew the
resulting plants for ten or more years and even made propagations from them
before considering attaching names to the choicest selections. Chamaecyparis
obtusa 'Meroke' is a very special plant developed by Joe. Growing just
slightly faster than 'Nana Lutea', 'Meroke' is a very narrow, upright
plant with a bright gold color.
lesser known selection of merit is Chamaecyparis
obtusa 'Verdoni'. Possibly a sport of 'Nana Gracilis', it grows
faster than 'Nana Lutea'. Not as compact as 'Nana Lutea' it is,
nevertheless, quite dense and will create a landscape specimen in less time. On
the other hand, since it is considerably slower than 'Aurea', it is quite
suitable for the smaller gardens of today and will become very popular as it
becomes better known. It has very good resistance to sun burn in any situation.
'Aurea' and 'Cripsii' are both very old cultivars and grow quite fast.
They are bright gold and pyramidal, eventually attaining the height of a tree.
'Cripsii' is not quite as hardy as 'Aurea' but exhibits very attractive
broadly, frondlike branchlets with decurving tops. 'Aurea' will subsequently
be the denser of the two but not as graceful in appearance.
Chamaecparis obtusa 'Cripsii'
Sawara False Cypress, another species endemic to Japan, is better known by its
scientific name Chamaecyparis pisifera.
Having a strong inclination to mutate, this species has produced a number of
cultivars with many uses in the landscape.
gold thread cypresses are the best known of the Chamaecyparis
pisifera cultivars. The one most commercially available is 'Filifera Aurea
Nana', not a true cultivar but a form propagated from side cuttings of
'Filifera Aurea'. It is low and slow growing but will eventually achieve the
size and appearance of 'Filifera Aurea'. On the other hand, the cultivar
'Golden Mop' is definitely a slow growing sport of 'Filifera Aurea' and
the brightest gold of all the golden threadleafs. Its one drawback is a tendency
to burn in the full sun. The cultivar 'Sungold' will not burn in the full
sun, is hardier than other selections, and is quite dwarf. Its resistance to
burn is due to its less spectacular coloration.
The 'Plumosa' forms of Chamaecyparis pisifera possess needles that are between the juvenile
'Squarrosa' type (long, free standing leaves) and the adult type (small,
adpressed leaves). These distinctive foliages clothed in different golden hues
are quite exceptional in the landscape. The cultivar 'Plumosa Aurea' is a
fast growing plant that may be used as either background for other plantings or
by itself as a specimen plant. Its bright color and feathery appearance should
increase its popularity for the home landscape. There are also some excellent
compact forms of 'Plumosa'. For example, 'Plumosa Juniperoides' ('Juniperoides
Aurea' in some catalogs) is quite dwarf for many years and has a bright gold
color, especially in the early summer. Its foliage approaches that of the
'Squarrosa' types.
'Squarrosa Lutea' has yellowish white foliage that is very bright in the
garden. It is an upright grower and is compact. Interestingly, a specimen by
this name once sported some golden thread‑like foliage. It has stayed
consistently mixed when propagated, producing a very unique plant identified as
'Lemon Thread'.
other species of Chamaecyparis with attractive, golden cultivars not yet mentioned are Chamaecyparis
nootkatensis and Chamaecyparis
thyoides. Chamaecyparis nootkatensis
'Aurea' is not bright gold but has a frosted appearance to its foliage. The
plant is pyramidal and fairly slow growing. I first noticed this cultivar at
Watnong Nursery in New Jersey. I purchased a specimen for my collection, and
several propagations from this plant crossed the United States with us on our
move to the Northwest. Recently this species has been determined to be wrongly
named and is now called Cupressus
thyoides 'Aurea'
is bright gold with a conical growth habit that becomes bronze in the winter.
Its typical, adult thyoides foliage is pleasingly matched to its golden coloration and
is distinctive from all other golden forms of Chamaecyparis. I purchased my original plant from Joel Spingarn when
he lived on Long Island. Later, when visiting Martin Brook in eastern
Pennsylvania, I saw a mature specimen and realized just how attractive this
cultivar actually was.
seems as if many wholesale nurseries are naming new junipers at an alarming
rate. Each year, when the new catalogs arrive, new names have been added. It can
all become quite confusing, especially to someone who is still trying to master
the junipers already on the market. And, of course, there are all kinds of
discussions regarding which of the new junipers actually deserved being named,
with more confusion resulting from the trademarking of a new name on a juniper
that has been available in the trade under another name. Junipers are confusing
enough without nurserymen only adding to it with these practices. The golden
junipers, being distinctive and in limited numbers, are fairly easy to
Juniperus chinensis 'Aurea'
Juniperus communis 'Aureospicata'
more common golden junipers can be read about in many different catalogs. One of
these is a very old cultivar developed in 1855 and introduced into the English
trade in 1872. Juniperus chinensis
'Aurea' is bright gold and grows narrowly conical. It is not too fast
growing and may burn as a young plant. But it is a bright gold upright that will
become quite popular with time.
late Gunter Horstmann, Schneverdingen, West Germany, discovered a golden form of
Juniperus communis that makes a bright
gold, fountain-like form with large, lush needles. It is not susceptible to
fungal blights and was given the name 'Schneverdingen Goldmachangel', which
in English means 'Schneverdingen Golden Schnapps'. It is usually sold as
'Golden Schnapps' in America while in Europe it may show up as 'Golden
'Gold Cone' and 'Hibernica Aurea' are two other golden selections of
this species with growth habits similar to 'Schneverdingen Goldmachangel'.
They differ in their more formal pyramidal shape. Their comparative performances
in the North American climate will require some time to determine.
am not familiar with all of the different golden forms of Juniperus
x medii,
a probable hybrid juniper that some taxonamists contend to be simply chinensis.
It has recently been determined by conifer taxonomists that it should be called Juniperus
x pfitzeriana
to represent the original plant. There are two unique forms not readily found in
the trade. Juniperus x
pfitzeriana 'Plumosa Aurea'
was introduced before 1885 in England, but its slow growth rate has kept the big
growers from producing it. If not the goldest of the junipers, it is at least as
gold as any other cultivar. It is a dwarf form with a broad, shrubby growth
habit. In any garden it becomes a most outstanding plant. Juniperus
x pfitzeriana
'Daub's Frosted' is a low, spreading juniper that is very different
from the other golden junipers. The exposed leaf surfaces are bright gold in the
spring becoming a bronze gold with the shaded leaves taking on shades of blue
and green. It is slow growing and the branchlets turn downward at their
juniper that does not root and has to be grafted is Juniperus
virginiana 'Elegantissima' (sometimes sold as 'Aurea'). This plant
is fountainlike and fairly slow growing. The coloration is deep gold in the new
growth with dark green older growth. In the winter the gold color goes more
toward bronze. The needles are both scale-like and needle-like.
The branchlets are somewhat pendulous, and the seasonal color changes are quite
the true firs, Genus Abies are largely
ignored by landscapers, with a few exceptions. Such neglect is hard to explain,
unless it is due to the difficulties of producing landscaped sized plants in a
reasonable length of time with a minimum of effort.

firs are tricky to grow in containers, need repeated root pruning when field
grown, and must be staked as young plants to combat plagiotropism (tendency to
grow prostrate). When grown to a marketable size, a fir does command a high
price, due to the difficulties of cultivation.
are several golden firs with garden merit. They will become quite popular as
people discover them. Some of these cultivars are quite dwarf while others
become large trees.
'Winter Gold' grows at a reduced rate but will
eventually reach a reasonable
size. Yellow green during the growing season, it becomes canary yellow with the
onset of colder weather. I do not know if it is as hardy as the species, but it
does do well in northern Germany where it originated.
all the large growing, golden firs, Abies
koreana 'Aurea' is quite possibly the most attractive. Growing about six
inches per year, it does attain a respectable size. A young plant may burn in
the full sun, but resistance to burning does develop. In the summer it is not
uncommon for a medium sized specimen to produce purple cones, creating an
attractive contrast in colors. A selection recently out of Europe grows into a
wide, flat-topped bush with more of a subdued golden color to the foliage. It
has been labeled 'Golden Dream' and on occasion will become broadly conical.
Abies koreana 'Golden dream'
exciting discovery occurred in Europe about 1961. A dwarf, golden Nordmann fir
was found. Abies nordmaniana 'Golden
Spreader' is bright gold, grows much broader than high, and is somewhat
depressed at its center, Since it does display a tendency to burn in the full
sun, it should be grown in partial shade where it still exhibits excellent
color. As it ages, a slow-growing terminal shoot will develop, producing a
mature specimen that is very dense, squatly conical, and very bright gold.
Spanish Fir, Abies pinsapo, also has a
golden variant.
Symmetrically-growing and stiff needled, Abies Pinsapo 'Aurea' has bright gold new growth that turns
green by winter. The gold is most pronounced on the upper surfaces of the new
growth. Burning can be a problem until the plant is established, and it is not
very tolerant of subzero winter temperatures. Some of the gold becomes
white-gold and is retained well into the winter.
1933, a golden Noble fir was discovered at the Sherwood Nursery in Portland,
Oregon. The needles are long and upcurved with a persistent bright yellow color.
Although a young plant will burn in the full sun, the burning will cease as it
ages. Some nurseries sell this plant as Abies
procera 'Aurea', but it is more correctly listed as Abies procera 'Sherwoodii'. At one time a rumor was circulating
to the effect that this plant originated on Mt. Hood in Oregon as the top half
of a lightning struck tree. Although this rumor was never substantiated, other
nurserymen claim to have seen lightning struck trees with golden tops.
Cryptomeria japonica is even more
under-utilized than the Abies. For
many parts of the United States winter hardiness
of Cryptomeria japonica is a problem, but many areas can grow this
species with no hardiness problems at all. I am familiar with only one cultivar
that I could actually call gold: Cryptomeria
japonica 'Sekkan Sugi'. Not a dwarf form by any stretch of the
imagination, this cultivar becomes a medium sized tree in the landscape. The
very plumose, creamy yellow new growth soon turns a bright gold, creating a
bicolored, very striking plant in the landscape.
are found throughout the Northern Hemisphere. This Genus has produced a large
assortment of cultivars, a fact especially true of the genetically unstable Picea
abies. Among the numerous cultivars of Picea
are several choice golden forms.
Picea abies 'Perry's Gold'
Picea omorika 'White Tops'
Picea orientalis 'Early Gold'
Picea pungens 'Stanley Gold'
Picea abies 'Repens Gold'
Norway spruce, Picea abies, has a
tendency to mutate much more readily than the other species, and yet it has a
paucity of golden forms. The cultivar 'Argenteospicata' is supposed to
produce long, white tips, but my specimen produces tips that are bright yellow.
The bright color is striking for a few weeks, until it fades to green. The
contrast between the gold tips and dark green foliage is most attractive,
especially on large specimens. This selection rapidly becomes a large tree.
'Aurea' grows like the species but with glossy yellow foliage. Its gold
color is most apparent on young plants. As a plant ages, the yellow is not as
striking. However, I have been told that the color remains very bright in some
parts of the United States. An improvement over this cultivar has recently
appeared in America. Picea abies
'Aurea Jacobsen' is much brighter than 'Aurea' but since it is
relatively new, its appearance as an old tree is not yet known.
the old conifer collection at the Arnold Arboretum is a special Norway Spruce
more than sixty feet tall. It is almost 100 years old and appears somewhat pale
colored. Not an outstanding tree in this instance, propagations from it possess
a very unique foliage coloration: a very pale yellow, almost white color. Named Picea
abies 'Elegantissima', its growth rate approaches that of the species.
Although the color will never have mass appeal, it should be made available to
the horticultural trade as it is striking in the proper location. I have
photographed a specimen of it at a Long Island, New York estate (The Creeks)
beside a multicolored concrete walkway. The combination creates a pleasing
response whenever I show this slide during a plant lecture.
ten years ago I discovered a golden branch on one of my weeping Norway spruces, Picea
abies 'Reflexa'. I propagated it and two attached branchlets. I now have
three large plants and several younger ones growing in our gardens that are
bright gold through the summer and gold frosted through the winter, turning
green the following spring just as the new golden growth flushes. I have named
this exceptional plant Picea abies 'Gold Drift'.
Black spruce, Picea mariana, is native
to northern North America, extremely hardy, and tolerant of swampy conditions.
In Newfoundland the branches are boiled to make spruce beer. A golden form of
the species, Picea mariana 'Aureovariegata',
displays golden new growth in the spring and maintains this golden color on all
of its upper surfaces through autumn. Growing rapidly, 'Aureovariegata' is
an attractive landscape plant with varying shades of gold, blue, and green
native of the Caucasus, Picea orientalis
has given us some very striking golden cultivirs. Two of these, 'Aurea' and
'Aureospicata', both exhibit golden new growth in the spring. The difference
between them is the retention of some gold coloration on the foliage of
'Aurea' while 'Aureospicata' soon turns completely dark green. Both grow
to a large size and put on an eyecatching display in Spring when the gold of the
new foliage is contrasted with the dark green of the older foliage. A new
cultivar, 'Early Gold' is just like 'Aureospicata' except it flushes its
new growth about two weeks earlier.
best of the upright golden spruces, Picea
orientalis 'Skylands' ('Aurea Compacta'), pushes new growth that is
bright gold and retains that color through Winter. As a young plant it may burn
in the full sun. Once it is established, any burning becomes incidental. In
shade the growth rate approaches species normal and the plant is dark green with
just a hint of gold. In the full sun its growth rate is reduced and the gold is
BRIGHT. If a new graft is not staked, the plant may merely spread outward and
grow as a prostrate cultivariant. Removing any developing leaders as they appear
allows this growth habit to be relatively permanent.
witches'-broom was discovered on a garden specimen of 'Skylands' that was
quickly propagated and did not disappoint anyone. Correctly known as Picea orientalis 'Tom Thumb Gold', it is a dense, bright gold
cushion with an exceptionally slow growth rate.
Colorado Spruce, Picea pungens, has
several golden forms. Picea pungens
'Aurea' is an apt name for a plant that produces gold new growth and keeps
its color throughout the year. Its gold is not as rich as that of Picea
orientalis 'Skylands' but is still quite good, making an interesting
contrast in the landscape. A similar plant, Picea
pungens 'Lutea', produces dull green new growth that turns bright gold
during the summer. The gold is deeper than that of 'Aurea', and the growth
rate appears to be slower. By the end of summer the gold shows just as a light
frosting on the tops of the branches.
Glen' is my favorite of the Picea
pungens cultivars. The new growth is a white gold color that the plant
retains into winter. This variegation is retained on the upper surface foliage
of the branches and presents a nice contrast with the rest of the foliage, which
is blue. This cultivar grows about 2/3 species normal, developing a nice,
compact tree. In the Northwest, if planted in the full sun, this plant burns
badly, until it attains some size.
'Aureospicata' and 'Summer Gold' are two newer slections that become
large trees which flush gold in the spring. 'Aureospicata' shows the bright
gold color for about four weeks while 'Summer Gold' shows it into the
summer. A third new cultivar, 'Sunshine' also flushes bright gold but
retains the color through winter, and the bottom parts of each branch become
blue-green during the summer.
Picea pungens 'Sunshine'
golden Sitka spruce, Picea sitchensis 'Bentham's
along a river in British Columbia. It was a golden tree and was held
sacred by the Haida Indian tribe. This plant must be grown in the shade, where
it still exhibits a bright gold color, otherwise most of the needles will be
burned and killed. Very rare, this plant will probably always be a collector's
item. It is very bright and coveted by true collectors.
It was originally listed as 'Aurea' but that name is illegitimate for this
plant and the name had been in long use for a large, chlorotic-appearing plant
in Australia.
It was originally listed as 'Aurea' but that name is illegitimate for this plant and the name had been in long use for a large, chlorotic-appearing plant in Australia.
'Aurea' is a small tree with a golden hue to the foliage that is brightest
during the spring. Small plants will burn, but the color is quite striking on
older specimens, especially when it contrasts with the normal blue and green
needles on the branchlet undersides.
'Nana' is a compact selection of Serbian spruce. Recently a golden form has
appeared in America. The jury is still out on this one, but early observations
indicate a plant that will be a nice addition to anyone's garden. Picea
omorika 'Tijn' grows much slower than 'Nana' and will apparently
become a cushion-shaped dwarf for the smaller garden.
'Aurea' is a golden selection that has a gold frosted appearance to the
foliage with the golden color being most intense during the spring and into the
summer. It grows much like the typical Serbian spruce in shape but at only about
2/3 the rate.
Genus Pinus ranges through both
hemispheres and has over 100 species. There have been many golden selections of
pines. Many of them have proven to be quite spectacular.
'Frisian Gold' originated as a golden witches'-broom. It grows twice
as wide as high with twisted, gold needles that become gold-tipped in
their second year. This cultivar is one of those 'can't miss' varieties
that appears on occasion. Its color is good and the compact growth habit fits
the gardens of tomorrow.
lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta
'Taylor's Sunburst', produces very bright yellow candles and needles that
put on a vibrant display for almost two months. Then they turn green as the new
growth hardens. This large tree grabs the attention of every visitor to
Coenosium gardens in the spring.
bark on new shoots and bright gold needles on the new growth distinguish Pinus
densiflora 'Aurea' from the other cultivars of its species. It is a fast
growing pine that exhibits its best color when grown under some stress. The
glossy, brown mature buds complete a most attractive picture. This plant is a
fast growing cultivar with good branching to create a dense plant.

Pinus mugo 'Carsten's Wintergold' (L) and 'Zundert' (R)
mugo 'Aurea'
is a golden selection that grows like a typical Pinus
mugo var. pumilio. As a young plant the color is quite good. With age the
bright gold becomes somewhat yellow green, and unless the plant is sheared, it
tends to open up and grow rather loosely. If the plant is somewhat stressed,
perhaps the color would improve. There are several other golden Pinus
mugo under evaluation that appear to be headed for a bright future in
'Amber Gold' is a selection with an almost fluorescent golden winter color
to the foliage that is green during the summer. Another plant with more of a
bright yellow gold color during the winter is Pinus
mugo 'Zundert'. At the head of the class, however, is Pinus mugo 'Carsten's Wintergold' This plant is even brighten
than 'Amber Gold' and dwarfer than either of the other two. In fact, it
grows at about half the rate, becoming much denser as a specimen.
our first visit to Holland in 1985, Dianne and I saw some spectacular plants. Pinus nigra 'Aurea' was one of this group. Dick van Hoey Smith
and I visited in old arboretum with a specimen of this cultivar. It was over 18
meters (60 feet) tall, light green, with bright yellow candles standing up at
the end of each branch. The contrast was most attractive, especially since a Cedrus
atlantica 'Glauca' stood behind it and towered over it by another 6
meters (20 feet). Discovered in 1909 in Hungary, it is a rare plant in North
has extensive variation among its cultivars
with many selections chosen for
needle and bark characteristics or exceptionally blue foliage, but there are
only two golden selections. Pinus
parviflora 'Ogon' is a sulfur yellow plant that grows almost 30cm (12
inches) per year with an open branch structure. The color intensifies during the
winter and is quite attractive against a dark background.
'Goldylocks' was brought into America a number of years ago by Billy
Schwartz, a friend from the Philadelphia area, who was very important in
establishing the American Conifer Society but is unfortunately unrecognized by
the present membership. This plant grows into a squat, dense, little pyramid
with bright gold foliage and twisted needles. It burns slightly in the full sun
and has a frosted appearance in a setting with mostly shade.
Pinus radiata 'Aurea'
American red pine has produced few cultivars for horticulture. Among these few
is a form with bright gold coloration and long, twisted needles, Pinus resinosa 'Aurea'. It grows rapidly with limited branching
and is difficult to propagate since the new growth is very thick.
all the pines, Pinus strobus has
perhaps the greatest number of named cultivars, several of which are gold and
quite interesting. Bill Bennett lived in eastern Virginia and had a knack for
spotting unusual plants in the wild, mostly along the highway. He shared
cuttings from his plants with Layne Ziegenfuss and Greg Williams, who propagated
them and shared them with arboreta and other collectors. Pinus
strobus 'Bennett OD' was one of his finds. In the spring its new growth
is bright gold, both the new bark and the needles. Gradually, during the summer,
green bands develop upon the needles, giving it the appearance of a dragoneye
pine, hence the name. It grows more slowly than the species, making it suitable
for the midsized to small garden. It has to be grown in partial shade to prevent
sun scald.
golden Eastern white pine, Pinus strobus
'Hillside Winter Gold', appears completely normal until winter arrives, when
it turns completely gold. It is a fast growing plant, and its winter gold color
is quite attractive. One winter Layne and Greg saw a hillside of golden white
pines. They took scions from the brightest of the group and grafted them.
Imagine their disappointment when every successful graft turned green in the
propagation house. Layne was tempted to throw the grafts away but instead set
them aside and forgot about them. He remembered them the next winter when
surprisingly they all turned gold again. Luckily these grafts were successful
because the hillside was cleared of trees soon after they discovered it.
'Louie' is a new selection out of Vermont. It has a nice golden color
throughout the year. The intensity increases somewhat during the winter. It
grows slower than the species and develops a nice, full branch structure. The
soft texture of the foliage adds to the luster of the golden needles.
throughout northern Europe Pinus
sylvestris has produced an abundance of cultivars. Once again there exists a
cultivar named 'Aurea'. Pinus
sylvestris 'Aurea' develops a bright gold color by early summer which
intensifies into the winter. As with some other cultivars, stress seems to
improve its color. It develops into a medium sized tree, apparently losing some
of its brightness as it ages.
newer selection from England, Pinus
sylvestris 'Gold Coin' is a dwarf form of golden Scots pine. In addition
to having all parts reduced in size when compared to the species, its color is
much more intense than that of 'Aurea'.
improved selection of 'Aurea' has recently
been finding its way around
America. It was found by a collector in England named Nisbet, who made a number
of introductions when he was alive. Pinus
sylvestris 'Nisbet's Gold' is brighter than 'Aurea' and appears to
have longer needles and a faster growth rate.
Pinus sylvestris 'Gold Coin'
Pinus sylvestris 'Moseri' showing its winter color to the right in the picture.
pine with few known cultivars is Pinus
virginiana. One of its cultivars, 'Wate's Golden', was found by Bill
Bennett. A normal Virginia pine during the growing season, it turns bright gold
in the winter. In fact, during the winter in Pennsylvania it was the brightest
conifer in my collection. Rapidly developing into a large tree, its color is
improved by colder winters. And it is extremely hardy. In the spring, as the
gold color is fading, the plant will flower and the red female strobili
(immature cones) make a striking contrast with.the remaining gold in the
foliage. In the Northwest it is not nearly as impressive as it was in the
is one golden selection of Pinus
thunbergiana and it is named 'Ogon', which is technically an
illegitimate name since ogon means "gold", but then so does 'Aurea'.
This cultivar has golden foliage through most of the year which becomes most
intense during the winter. Each needle has the brightest color at its tip
becoming yellow-green toward the base. It also seems to be more intense in
younger plants but even my largest, which is about 5 meters (15 feet) tall has a
nice golden hue throughout the winter.
There are several golden selections of Taxus. Taxus baccata 'Adpressa Aurea' is a dwarf form with good color and shortened, blunt needles. Taxus cuspidata 'Aurescens' on the other hand is a fast growing, spreading form with long, recurved, pointed needles.

has produced a number of golden cultivars. 'George Peabody', 'Pumila
Sudsworthi', and 'Sunkist' are upright pyramids while 'Golden Globe'
grows into a globe with no pruning. None of these plants burn in the full sun,
but the upright cultivars can be hard to distinguish from each other.
Canadian hemlock, Tsuga canadensis ,
has produced a number of golden cultivars. There are two distinctive ones
presently available from better conifer sources. Tsuga
canadensis 'Everitt Golden' is a compact plant that develops excellent
color when planted in the sun. It was discovered during 1918 growing in the wild
in New Hampshire. The other gold form, 'Golden Splendor', is a fast growing
plant that must be kept sheared to develop dense branching. It tolerates the
full sun with little difficulty and grows like the species.
more people will be encouraged to try some of the new golden conifers as they
become available. These plants need not be avoided, especially if careful
selections are made. It is important to select cultivars that do not appear
chlorotic and to display them in a pleasing manner.

Reliant Resources Swings to Surprise Loss
Reliant Resources (RRI) swung to a loss in the second quarter as a steep rise in natural gas prices and the cost of a debt overhaul offset higher revenue.
The company also completed a plan to carve $140 million from its annual expenses and named former National Oilwell (NOI) executive Joel Staff chief executive, replacing the recently resigned Steve Letbetter.
Shares were recently down 42 cents, or 8.4%, to $4.56 on the Instinet premarket session.
The Houston energy company lost $5.9 million, or 2 cents a share, in the latest quarter, compared with earnings of $175.8 million, or 60 cents a share, last year. On a continuing operations basis the company lost 9 cents a share in the latest quarter, a wide miss of the 19-cent profit analysts were forecasting. Revenue was $2.83 billion, up from $2.19 billion last year despite a steep decline in trading margins, to $7.6 million from $114.9 million a year ago.The company's expense for purchased power rose to $1.97 billion from $1.26 billion last year. Amortization costs rose to $8.2 million from $4.7 million, while interest expense rose to $114.5 million from $57.3 million, reflecting a recently completed debt restructuring. "While our retail results in the second quarter were negatively impacted by rising natural gas prices, we expect to see an offset in the second half of the year from the recently approved increase in our price-to-beat and the hedges we have put in place," Reliant said. The company also dropped its full-year earnings guidance to 10 cents a share from continuing operations, reflecting weak wholesale market conditions and higher amortization and interest expenses. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were forecasting earnings of 58 cents a share. Among Reliant's segments, retail energy had earnings before interest and taxes of $101 million in the latest quarter, down from $202 million last year, while wholesale energy lost $20 million before interest and taxes in the latest quarter compared with earnings of $31 million last year. The wholesale segment's loss reflected lower trading margins, which in turn are the result of Reliant's scaling back trading operations, plus the expiration of favorable contracts and continued weak markets.

"This is a small and friendly site in a fantastic…"
This is a small and friendly site in a fantastic location. Lovely views across the Camel estuary, five minutes walk into Padstow and right on the fantastic Camel trail (great for cyclists and walkers). However it does get very busy in summer. There is an upper field which is less packed but it isn't flat.
I love the fact that you can easily ditch the car whilst staying here, walk to Padstow, get passenger ferry to Rock for fantastic beaches and walk/cycle Camel trail.
It may become victim of its own success as featured in uber trendy Cool Camping.Read moreLess

Definitions for odds ratio
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word odds ratio
Odds ratio
The odds ratio is a measure of effect size, describing the strength of association or non-independence between two binary data values. It is used as a descriptive statistic, and plays an important role in logistic regression. Unlike other measures of association for paired binary data such as the relative risk, the odds ratio treats the two variables being compared symmetrically, and can be estimated using some types of non-random samples.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Odds Ratio
The ratio of two odds. The exposure-odds ratio for case control data is the ratio of the odds in favor of exposure among cases to the odds in favor of exposure among noncases. The disease-odds ratio for a cohort or cross section is the ratio of the odds in favor of disease among the exposed to the odds in favor of disease among the unexposed. The prevalence-odds ratio refers to an odds ratio derived cross-sectionally from studies of prevalent cases.

Doesn't Look Good On Me
By lookingforalaska
from Tampa , FL
Best Uses
Comments about Flounce Bandeau:
I was really disappointed with this one . I was so excited for it , and I guess on someone else it'll look good . I was hoping for something that would make my totally non-existing chest look at least a little bigger , but this didn't do it for me . But the bright side is that I can always add a little more padding , so I don't completely hate this top . The lining rolls up ALL the time too . It's a good swimsuit , just not on me .

I was trying to find a ruffly bandeau that would truly flatter my non existent chest, but this didn't do it for me. On the bright side it's super cute and looks great in pictures! I ordered "yellow floral" and it actually looks a lot better in person than the picture. Overall, it's cute!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Favorite Swimsuit!
By punk
from wisconsin
I ordered this online last summer, and it is one of my favorite swimsuits! I like the removable straps so i don't get a weird tanline. The only thing i don't really like is a wire on the side kind of pokes out. other than that, it is great!
