The Economic Contributions of Immigrants in Washington State
During this year's legislative session, lawmakers have an opportunity to enhance the already important contributions immigrants make in our state. As the Legislature considers funding for schools, health care and other services, along with other policies, it is important to understand how immigrants play a major role in Washington state's economy and society.
Immigrants are an important part of the fabric of our society, making our state more culturally rich and economically vibrant. Like so many new Washingtonians before them, they come from all regions of the world in search of opportunity.
The majority of immigrants in our state – who represent one in six workers (17 percent) – are from Mexico, the Philippines, Canada, Vietnam and Korea. (1) Immigrants – whether naturalized citizens, lawfully present, or undocumented – play a significant and growing role in Washington state's economy. As 13 percent of the total Washington state population, immigrants' share of total annual economic output is 14 percent. This proportional relationship is driven by three factors (2):
- Eight out of every ten immigrants (80 percent) in Washington state are of prime working age (between 18 and 64), compared to six of every 10 U.S.-born Washingtonians (62 percent). The fact that immigrants are more likely to be of prime working age, positively impacts their contribution to the state economy because they are more likely to be participating in the labor force.
- Nearly half (46 percent) of immigrants in Washington state have white-collar jobs, which include occupations in fields such as education, health, and engineering. These kinds of jobs are more likely to pay well.
- Just over one in seven small businesses (15 percent) in Washington state is owned by an immigrant. Immigrant-owned businesses account for more than $1 billion a year in economic activity for our state.
Clearly, the contributions of immigrants in Washington state are significant. Undocumented immigrants alone contribute nearly $300 million in state and local taxes each year. In order for immigrants to continue to thrive and contribute to the economy, our state Legislature must recognize, support, and pass policies that ensure their ability to do so.
One such policy involves restoring full funding to the state Food Assistance Program (SFA). Over 15,000 lawfully present immigrants in our state benefit from SFA. The current 75 percent funding level is insufficient to support families with growing children. By restoring full funding, legislators will ensure that all families in Washington state have access to nutritious food.
The Family Unity Act (FUA) is another policy decision that will greatly impact the well-being of immigrants in Washington state by changing the policies related to how local law enforcement agents implement federal immigration policy. The passage of the act will enable legislators to reduce detention costs, restore public trust in law enforcement, and keep families together.
The second post of this series will further explore the benefits of the Family Unity Act.

New Data Shows Social Programs Lifted 241,000 Kids Out of Poverty in Washington
The well-being of our children is the most significant predictor of our long-term economic and social success. So when so many of our kids are experiencing economic hardship, it doesn't bode well for Washington state. But the good news is that we already have tools to help provide children with the opportunities they need to thrive.
A new KIDS COUNT report uses the U.S. Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) – a companion to the official poverty measure – to examine the impact that social programs (Box 1) have on the economic well-being of children and families in Washington state. According to the SPM, over 455,000 children in Washington state – one in four (28 percent) – live in families experiencing economic hardship (Figure 1). Social programs, however, lifted 241,000 of these children out of poverty, cutting the rate by more than half (13 percent).
The SPM was created in 2011 the by U.S. Census Bureau to provide a more detailed look at how children and families are faring than the official poverty rate allows. The SPM differs from the official poverty measure in a number of important ways:
- The SPM provides a more accurate reflection of economic hardship by using updated data on what it takes to meet basic needs in each state;
- The SPM calculates expenses by geographic location, recognizing cost-of-living differences across the states;
- The SPM calculates income from all sources (earned income, cash assistance), as well as from non-cash benefits (food assistance), providing a more accurate reflection of family resources. It also shows how taxes and tax credits affect income.
Box 1.
Given the overwhelming evidence documenting the strong relationship between economic security and all other areas of well-being, progress in all of these areas can be accelerated if we meaningfully tackle systemic poverty.
This new data comes at an opportune time, as policymakers begin to put pen to paper in writing the state budget. Washington state can build on the success of social programs and further reduce poverty by making targeted investments in programs we know work well for children and families, including:
- Fully funding the Working Families Tax Rebate, Washington state's yet-to-be-funded version of the federal Earned Income Tax Credit, which, according to the SPM, is the most effective anti-poverty tool we have for kids and families;
- Restoring the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash grant to support families in meeting basic needs while parents look for adequate and stable employment;
- Passing the Early Start Act so all kids have access to affordable, high-quality early learning opportunities while their parents work or look for a job; and
- Restoring full funding to the State Food Assistance Program so that all families can have access to nutritious food.

Bill to Improve State Tax Break Transparency Receives Public Hearing
This morning, members of the Washington State House Finance Committee heard public testimony on a measure that would give the public access to much-needed information about state tax breaks and the businesses and corporations that benefit from them. If approved, House Bill 2134 would allow policymakers and the public to have more-informed discussions about our state budget and how we can best use our scarce state tax revenues.
HB 2134 is similar to a tax break transparency measure (HB 2201) that passed out of the House in the 2014 legislative session, but failed to receive a hearing in the Senate. The similarities between last year's bill and HB 2134 are as follows:
- HB 2134 would give the public access to information on businesses that receive tax breaks: The Department of Revenue (DOR) would be required to publicly disclose the name of any business that receives more than $10,000 per year in a tax break – as well as disclosing the total amount the business claims in preferential business and occupation (B&O) tax rates, B&O tax credits, and most major B&O tax deductions. This information would be made available to the public via a searchable online database on DOR's website.
- It would improve the quality of tax break information available to policymakers and state auditors: The current business tax return allows businesses to obscure details about their use of tax breaks by lumping multiple tax breaks into a small number of broad categories instead of reporting detailed information on each tax break. HB 2134 would prevent this by requiring businesses to itemize their use of each preferential B&O tax rate, B&O deduction, B&O credit, and sales tax exemption. Doing so would give policymakers and state auditors more detailed information needed to conduct thorough performance evaluations of state tax breaks. More background details are available in this schmudget post.
- It would improve and streamline reporting requirements for certain tax breaks: Under current law, there are public disclosure and reporting requirements attached to only a limited number of state tax breaks. To claim these breaks, businesses are required to file a report or survey with DOR detailing their use of these tax break dollars. However, much of the information mandated in these surveys and reports is of limited use to state auditors and policymakers. And much of it cannot be accessed by the public. HB 2134 would consolidate these surveys and reports into a single report that captures more useful information – including the amount of a tax break claimed, the types of jobs created by the tax break, and average salaries and benefits associated with those jobs. Further, all of the information in the new reports would be available to the public online.
In addition, HB 2134 would reform DOR's Tax Exemption Study. Under current law, DOR releases a report summarizing most state tax breaks every four years. HB 2134 would now require the report to be released every two years, making the available information more up-to-date and relevant to current budget discussions. It would also require the department to include information on audit recommendations associated with each tax break and other key pieces of information about how the tax system is performing. For various industries in Washington state, the report would detail effective tax rates, employment levels, average wages, and a breakdown of taxes paid.
Although HB 2134 includes important changes to the tax break system, it omits a key provision included in the 2014 bill that would greatly enhance accountability and transparency. Last year's bill would have required large, publicly traded corporations to disclose to the public their total B&O tax payments in addition to the value of the tax breaks they receive each year. As we've highlighted previously, many major corporations, including Boeing and Microsoft, have a long track record of avoiding federal taxes. Requiring them to disclose how much they pay in Washington state taxes would shed light on whether they are dodging taxes here too.
Now more than ever, it is crucial that policymakers rigorously examine all forms of state spending – including spending on special-interest tax breaks – to ensure that those dollars are serving the public interest. If enacted, HB 2134 would be an important step toward creating a more balanced, transparent, and accountable process for measuring how our state invests in important public priorities.
Watch the Budget & Policy Center's testimony on this bill here.
Revenue Is Projected to Increase, But Not by Enough
Washington state revenues are continuing their recovery from the depths of the Great Recession, growing by $274 million ($134 million in the 2013-15 biennium and $140 million in the 2015-17 biennium) from the previous forecast, according to new data from the State Economic and Revenue Forecast Council. Even still, the increase in revenue falls woefully short of what is needed to meet the state's funding obligations in the next two years.
In addition to the revised revenue forecast, lawmakers recently passed a 2015 Supplemental Budget, which included revisions that increase the ending fund balance by $200 million. As the graph shows, even with the increase in the fund balance plus an increase in revenue, resources will still fall $2.5 billion short of what is needed just to fund these required costs:
- Maintaining services ($2.6 billion): Simply maintaining the current level of services the state provides will cost more in the next two years due to inflation, increases in the population, demographic changes, and increased debt and pension costs.
- McCleary education investments (at least $1.2 billion): The state is required by its own constitution to adequately fund K-12 basic education. The State Supreme Court's McCleary ruling reinforced that obligation, requiring lawmakers to fully fund basic education by 2018. To meet that deadline, at least $1.2 billion is needed in the next budget cycle to pay for school maintenance and curriculum costs as well as to phase in full-day kindergarten and smaller class sizes in kindergarten through third grade.
- Voter initiatives ($1.8 billion): In 2000, voters approved Initiative 732 to provide cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for teachers. Lawmakers have voted to suspend this initiative in previous years, including during the current 2013-15 biennium. The suspension is set to expire, making I-732 a legal obligation for the 2015-17 budget cycle. Additionally, Initiative 1351, which passed in November 2014, requires lawmakers to fund smaller class sizes in kindergarten through 12th grade. Within the first two years of passage, lawmakers can only amend or suspend an initiative with a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
On top of these required spending obligations, there are other investments that the state needs to make in order to strengthen our economy and support the health and well-being of Washingtonians:
- Invest in the state's workforce ($580 million): Lawmakers should approve the collective bargaining agreements that have been reached between workers and the Governor, providing the first general wage increase in seven years for middle-class employees. The Governor has also proposed to align the wage increase for state employees with that of teachers. These are important investments to help retain and attract talented workers who teach our children, protect our safety, and care for seniors and people with disabilities.
- Invest in mental health services (at least $65 million): In August 2014, the State Supreme Court ruled that our mental health system is failing to appropriately treat people with mental illness. A shortage of space in treatment facilities has led to the warehousing of patients in hospital emergency rooms – a practice that cannot continue, according to the court. Increased investments are needed to provide proper care to people with mental illness.
- Restore cuts from recent years: Since 2009, lawmakers have enacted over $10 billion in cuts to health care, food access programs, tuition assistance, child care, services for seniors, and other important investments that support our economy and the well-being of all Washingtonians. Now is the time to rebuild investments that help people find work, make college affordable, and strengthen supports that allow people to live in safe homes and put food on the table.
Solutions exist to increase our resources so that we can invest in education and the quality of life in our state. Enacting a capital gains tax, as the Governor has proposed, is one important tool to significantly boost revenues.
What Would Raising the Minimum Wage Do? Find Out in Our New FAQ
Lawmakers have introduced legislation (HB 1355 and SB 5285) to gradually raise the statewide minimum wage to $12 an hour over the next four years. There is considerable debate about what the impact of raising the minimum wage in Washington state will be. Have questions about what to expect from a $12 minimum wage? We've got answers in this new FAQ.

Legislature Pays for Increased Costs Related to Fires, Lawsuits in Supplemental Budget
The Washington state House and Senate have approved $143 million in additional state funding for the 2013-15 budget cycle. The investments address the increased need for firefighting and foster care services as well as the court-mandated need to fund compensation for in-home care workers and treatment services for people with mental illness.
The current budget cycle began on July 1, 2013, and ends June 30, 2015. The 2015 Supplemental Budget, or "second supplemental budget," allows lawmakers to make adjustments to the originally-enacted spending plan based on changes in revenue or additional funding needs.
Specifically, this budget responds to the following needs that arose in the last several months:
- Wildfires: During the summer of 2014, Washington state saw an increase in the number and size of wildfires, draining existing resources for firefighting efforts. Additional funding is now provided for incurred costs associated with combating the fires and natural disasters, including the Oso landslide.
- Treatment for people with mental illness: In August, the State Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to detain people in need of mental health services in hospital emergency rooms — a practice that has occurred because there is a shortage of appropriate treatment facilities. Additional funding has been added to provide appropriate treatment for those in need of mental health services.
- In-home care worker compensation: In another court ruling, the state is required to compensate in-home care workers — who provide services for seniors and people with disabilities — for cuts to their pay that occurred between 2003 and 2007.
- Services for children and youth in foster care: Additional investments are included in the budget to serve 18- to 21-year-olds in extended foster care and to provide court-ordered, supervised visits between children in foster care and their families.
To meet these funding needs, lawmakers have invested $66 million from the state's general fund and $77 million from the Budget Stabilization Account, or "Rainy Day Fund," for fires and natural disasters. The budget now heads to the Governor's desk
With the budget for the 2013-15 cycle wrapped up, lawmakers now turn their full attention to writing the budget for the 2015-17 budget cycle.

Help with Rio RedGrapefruit tree.. Some weird dots on leaves?
Hello All!
I wanted to buy the last of my fruit trees today, so i went to Lowe's and purchased a Rio Red grapefruit tree. I came home to notice that the leaves had spots on them. I am afraid that this might be some form of virus or fungus, and if i plant it in the yard, i have 3 other citrus trees that might get sick. Do you guys know what this problem is? Is it contagious?
P.S. I hope you all had a nice thanksgiving!
Black spots are 'sooty mould' which has developed on the sugary excretions of some insect pest. Probably scale insect - I think there is one visible at the top right of the last photo.
The mould is not itself harmful and can be wiped off. The insects need finding and dealing with.
The third photo shows the trail of a leaf miner, which could be still pupating under the curled over section of leaf.
Lots of info on this site if you search for citrus leaf miner.

Talk:Viral evolution
|WikiProject Viruses
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
I have been wondering how to best call and introduce this article. Many of the people I work with would say they are working in the field 'virus evolution'. Therefore, I somehow think this is a better title than 'evolution of viruses' or something similar. However, it is hard to come up with a good first sentence in which the phrase 'virus evolution' appears and can be made bold. Wilke 02:57, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Yep, I had the same problem, what I put there was pretty lame, I admit, but it was a start. Should this article be about the entity that is virus evolution, or an academic field "virus evolution"? Or both? --Lexor 03:11, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- I will think about this some more. Maybe the best strategy is to write some more contents first, and then think about what the article actually describes, and how it should be called.Wilke 03:33, 2 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I think that the co-evolution of viruses and their host should be covered together in this page. Each is constantly evolving in a "viral-host arms race". Dr d12 19:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- This is only true when the virus is harmful to the host (or vice-versa). If a virus is beneficial, or neutral, then the rules are different. I just want to challenge the assumption that all viruses result in reduced host fitness. Scray (talk) 03:56, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
I do agree with the proposal to move/merge the content from Intra-host evolution and Inter-host evolution to this page. Would provide better context, and the comparison between the two is key to understanding. Scray (talk) 04:01, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've merged these two articles into Viral evolution --Lox (t,c) 09:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Suggested contents? I would suggest that if expanded this page ought to include sections on:
- Viral mutation rates, fitness spectra of point mutations and substitution rates
- Population dynamics and phylodynamics:
- Population bottlenecks at transmission
- Initial growth phase and peak viraemia
- Host immune response
- Selection pressures acting on viruses:
- Negative / purifying (e.g. to retain basic structure, functionality and infectivity on transmission to a new host)
- Positive/diversifying (e.g. HIV hypervariable regions to facillitate CTL escape)
- Viral coevolution
- Role of drift
- Some introduction of viral recombination, especially segmented (e.g. flu) vs. nonsegmented (e.g. HIV) viruses
- Host genome interactions (e.g. retroviruses)
- Other host defences e.g. viral defence genes such as APOBEC family ans viral responses e.g. vif gene in HIV
- A clearer account of differences between intra-host and inter-host (population level) evolution.
- The viral quasispecies - and here crucially a distinction should be made between the theoretical concept itself from the mid/late 90s (more-or-less trashed now) and the current common usage of the term 'quasispecies' to mean 'a population of closely related viruses whose genetic diversity is maintained by rapid mutation but shaped predominantly by selection in response to host immune pressures'
Sorry if that list's a bit RNA-virus-centric but I don't know all that much about DNA viruses... --Comrade jo (talk) 12:14, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- This article can be improved by providing specific mechanisms through which viral evolution takes place. It should also factor in the biology of the virus and factors that propagate the evolution of different viruses. Also a clearer definition and differences between intra-host and inter-host. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alsaeed87 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

A smooth satin-like material covers most of the Air Force 1's upper in brave blue, working with patent leather Swoosh logos in mineral teal to match the bold midsoles below. Green glow accents take these already impressive AF1s over the top, while red hits the outsole to finish them off.
The Brave Blue/Green Glow Nike Air Force 1 Low is expected to release next month.

I'm writing code in the Java ME environment, so speed is absolutely an important factor. I have read several places that reflection of any sort (even the very limited amounts that are allowed on java ME) can be a very large bottleneck.
So, my question is this: is doing
String.class.getName() slow? What about
myCustomObject.getClass().getName()? Is it better to simply replace those with string constants, like "java.lang.String" and "com.company.MyObject"?
In case you're wondering, I need the class names of all primitives (and non-primitives as well) because Java ME does not provide a default serialization implementation and thus I have to implement my own. I need a generic serialization solution that will work for both communication across the network as well as local storage (RMS, but also JSR-75)
I'm using Java 1.3 CLDC.

Company constructed three warehouses in Puerto Rico using recycled concrete.
Bacardi Limited, Hamilton, Bermuda, the largest privately held spirits company in the world, recently constructed three new aging warehouses using tons of recycled concrete at its Bacardí rum distillery in Cataño, Puerto Rico.
The project, at what the company says is the world's largest premium rum distillery, required demolition of six older structures on the 127-acre campus just outside San Juan. In a major cost- and environment-saving move, construction crews recycled the more than 2,300 tons of rubble, amounting to 150 truckloads of concrete, according to the company.
"We took all the rubble from the demolition and reused it as backfill material in building our new warehouses," says Julio Torruella, project director for Bacardi in Puerto Rico. "This was a zero- waste project designed to reuse steel and concrete, rather than sending material to the landfill."
This action eliminated both landfill waste and the need to buy new materials for the buildings. As part of its sustainability program, Bacardi says it aims to eliminate landfill waste at all of its production sites by 2022.
Building on current programs that reduce the company's impact on the environment, the Bacardi Limited "Good Spirited" global sustainability program sets specific goals in three areas:

APE FACT SHEET AMPUTATION DEFINITION: Amputation: Missing part or all of a limb. Amputations can be classified into two categories: Congenital or acquired amputation. Congenital amputation (limb deficiency): When an individual is born without a limb. Congenital amputations are classified according to the site or the level of limb absence. Acquired amputation: When an individual has a limb removed by operation due to trauma, infection, diabetes and/or vascular impairment. COMMON ABBREVIATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH AMPUTATIONS: AK: Above or through the knee joint BK: Below the knee, but through or above the ankle joint AE: Above or through the elbow joint BE: Below the elbow, but through or above the wrist joint A prosthesis is a substitute for a missing body part. The purpose of the prosthetic device is to enable the student to function with as few restrictions as possible. MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS: • Edema (swelling) of the stump • Pressure sores from the prosthetic device • Atrophy of musculature in or around the affected limb or joint • Replacement of the device due to growth, especially in children • Poor circulation at the level of amputation • Contractures French, R. (1997 – 2004) TEACHING TIPS: • Perform physical activity safely. • Enable the individual to effectively use the prosthesis. • Introduce exercises to strengthen muscles around the stump. • Introduce activities that will improve balance and enhance ambulation. • Shorten the distance and/or decrease the speed of an activity for the individual (primarily for individuals with lower limb deficiencies). • Develop strength and flexibility of the unaffected limb. • Develop and maintain cardiovascular endurance. • Provide activities in which the individual can succeed or perform equal to or better than other students. • Supplement physical education instruction with activities that involve gross motor movement. • Provide opportunities for independent work (i.e., obstacle courses, circuit training). • Teach appropriate techniques for falling. • Demonstrate and encourage a normal gait pattern, especially for individuals with lower limb problems. Information on this sheet contains only suggested guidelines. Each student must be considered individually, and in many cases, a physician's written consent should be obtained. French, R. (1997 – 2004)

Clinton Administration (1993-2001) Clinton, Bill Clinton, Hillary congressional elections (US House) death Dole, Bob federal government foreign policy Gore, Al Jones, Paula Perot, Ross presidency presidential performance public opinion Quayle, Dan religious attitudes religious beliefs Supreme Court nominations Whitewater inquiry ICPSR.XIV.C.1 This poll, conducted May 12-15, 1994, is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions of President Bill Clinton and his handling of the presidency and issues such as crime and the situation in Haiti, and whether he was doing a better job handling the economy and foreign affairs than former President George H.W. Bush. Views were sought on Clinton's health care plan, the nomination of Stephen G. Breyer to the United States Supreme Court, and the ability of the federal government to solve problems. A series of questions addressed Clinton's handling of the Haitian refugees attempting to enter the United States by boat, whether he could be trusted to make the right decisions regarding the United States role in world affairs, and whether his handling of foreign affairs was creating anti-American feelings overseas. Those polled also gave their opinions of First Lady Hillary Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, former Vice President Dan Quayle, Reform Party founder Ross Perot, and Senator Bob Dole, and specific questions asked whether Quayle and Perot were qualified to be president. Other questions focused on President Clinton's role in the Whitewater investigation, the sexual harassment charges made against him by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones, and whether respondents would vote for a Democrat or Republican candidate if the upcoming United States House of Representatives election were held that day. Additional topics covered life after death, spirits, souls, near-death experiences, reincarnation, heaven, hell, unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and extraterrestrial life. Demographic variables include sex, age, race, marital status, labor union membership, employment status, household income, education level, perceived social class, type of residential area (e.g., urban, rural, etc.), religious preference, political party affiliation, political orientation, and voter registration status and participation history. 2007-11-20 survey data 6625 10.3886/ICPSR06625.v2 United States 1994-05 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).

Aurora Adds Web-based Remote Monitoring to Management Tools.
The new Web-based remote management capability complements Aurora's Opti-Trace[TM] desktop-based monitoring software, by enabling technical staff to check the integrity of their systems from any PC, any where. They are not tied to computers that have been previously pre-configured with special software.
"The CX3002 expands the monitoring horizon from simple desktop PCs to Web-enabled handhelds," said John Dahlquist, vice president of marketing for Aurora Networks. "The ability to proactively and remotely manage faults on-the-go is essential in today's fast-paced, customer-service focused environment."
The CX3002 mounts directly in any power supply module, eliminating the need for a dedicated slot in the CH3000 Chassis. It features two 10BaseT ports. The first interfaces with Aurora's Opti-Trace management software. Operators can use the second port to daisy-chain additional CX3002 modules to support monitoring of multiple chassis per site, reducing the need for external hubs.
To see and to learn more about the CX3002 Network Management Module, visit Aurora in Booth 139 at Cable-Tec Expo, June 25-27, Philadelphia.

text: Publishers WeeklyTwenty-one years ago, Ziolkowski, then a student in the financial management program at GE Capital, was being groomed for a promising career, but after a backpacking trip in Nepal showed him how simple generosity could change the lives of the impoverished, he quit the course and founded the nonprofit buildOn, which brings education to inner-city teens, and transforms them into community service leaders in the U.S. and abroad. After struggling to secure funding and organize volunteers, Ziolkowski begins traveling the globe, documenting injustices in apartheid-era South Africa and among the street children of Brazil, while rallying the community to come together and build schools for their children. Along the way, he meets activists, struggling families, and even Mother Teresa, who provide encouragement and share their stories. Whether discussing female genital mutilation in Mali or the circumstances of volunteer students in Detroit, Ziolkowski balances sobering facts with an approachable writing style. His unflinching determination drove him to establish over 500 schools, turning buildOn from a nascent dream into a multimillion-dollar phenomenon. He believed that one person could indeed change the world, and his story may inspire others to do the same. Agent: Todd Shuster, Zachary Shuster Harmsworth. (Sept.)

One of the biggest challenges automakers face when designing a high-performance car is making sure that it is both fast and reliable. For General Motors, any car that might be taken to the track by its owner – like the Corvette, Camaro Z/28 (shown above) and the Cadillac CTS-V, for example – undergoes a rigorous and strenuous 24-hour test by engineers at the Milford Proving Grounds, as pointed out by Car and Driver.

Finding large rhododenrons/azaleas
I'm looking for rhodies or azaleas that will grow larger than six feet--more like 10+ is what I have in mind. Most nurseries specify "tall" plants as being about six feet. I used to have a 20 ft rhodie at my previous home. What species do I need to look for? I would prefer white or purple blossoms, but will settle for pink. Can someone tell me how to search for and find what I'm seeking? Thank you.
The height given for rhododendrons by sellers is the height that could be reasonably expected after 10 years of growth. Given enough time nearly all rhododendrons except those designated as dwarf will exceed 6 feet.
You can search for the taller ones on the American Rhododendron Society plant finder pages. Using it you will find the tallest hardy ones after 10 years are:
Caractacus, red, -25F
Lady Eleanor Cathcart, pink, -15F
Spicy Nutmeg, pink, -20F
Here is a link that might be useful: ARS Multi-Parameter Search for Rhododendrons
Cynthia gets big and blooms here at the end of May in to June. This one is 35 years old.

- We end today's show looking at another fight for civil rights in Alabama: marriage equality. On Monday, Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange asked a federal judge to keep legalizing same-sex marriage in the state on hold until the U.S. Supreme Court rules later this year. Last month, Alabama became the 37th state to allow same-sex marriage, but the Alabama Supreme Court directed probate judges to stop giving licenses to same-sex...March 10, 2015 | Story
- In a historic victory for marriage equality, the U.S. Supreme Court has struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and paved the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California. In a 5-to-4 decision, the court ruled the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act — or DOMA — signed by President Clinton into law is unconstitutional. This means that legally married same-sex couples are entitled to claim the same 1,100 federal benefits as...June 27, 2013 | Story
- The lead plaintiff in the Defense of Marriage Act case before the U.S. Supreme Court is an 83-year-old lesbian named Edith Windsor. She sued the federal government after she was forced to pay additional estate taxes because it did not recognize her marriage to a woman, Thea Spyer. Windsor and Spyer met in 1962, got engaged soon after, but did not marry until 2007, near the end of Spyer's life. Their life story was captured in the...March 28, 2013 | Story
- As the U.S. Supreme Court heard two major cases this week on marriage equality, we look at how the issue has divided some in the LGBT movement. Longtime activist and blogger Scot Nakagawa wrote a popular essay this week called "Why I Support Same Sex Marriage as a Civil Right, But Not as a Strategy to Achieve Structural Change." The article drew so much traffic that it crashed his server, twice. We speak to Nakagawa and Marc Solomon,...March 28, 2013 | Story
- For the second day in a row, the U.S. Supreme Court is confronting the issue of same-sex marriage, hearing arguments today on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, that denies federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples. On Tuesday, the justices considered the legality of California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage. Representing two couples challenging the ban, attorney Ted Olson condemned...March 27, 2013 | Story
- Stuart Gaffney and John Lewis have been deeply involved in the struggle to legalize same-sex marriage. They were two of the plaintiffs in the historic 2008 lawsuit that held California's ban on same-sex marriage violated the state constitution. They have been together for 26 years and married in 2008 before Prop 8 passed. Both work at Marriage Equality USA: Gaffney is the media director, and Lewis is the legal director. In addition,...March 27, 2013 | Story
Widower of First Openly Gay Congressman Fights DOMA for Denying Benefits to Married Same-Sex CouplesThe U.S. Supreme Court continues its session on the issue of same-sex marriage, hearing arguments today on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. DOMA was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and denies federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples. We are joined by Dean Hara, a plaintiff in another lawsuit against DOMA.

It includes a landmark addition that empower Native American tribal...March 08, 2013 | Story
- In an historic announcement, President Obama has become the first U.S. president to support same-sex marriage. We get reaction from acclaimed playwright and activist Tony Kushner. In 2003, he and his partner became the first same-sex couple to appear in the Vows section of the New York Times. "I felt the earth move," Kushner says. "It's one of those moments where you feel a corner being rounded and the actual change, or...May 10, 2012 | Story
- North Carolina voters have turned out in large numbers to pass a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman. While North Carolina law already bans same-sex marriage, the amendment means civil unions and potentially other types of domestic partnerships will no longer be recognized legally by the state. Some lawyers say the measure is vaguely worded and could impact the state's 150,000 straight...May 09, 2012 | Story

I believe today is the day we have all been waiting for, when 'SANTA' shows us his bag of goodies.
Sorry- I was dreaming, it is the day when we show him all our goodies and then he decides how much he wants this time.
I've heard about getting blood from a stone, but how much more can he take?. I know it is bad because I work in a multinational group and some of the immigrants who come in about 5 years ago are complaining about the 'NEW' immigrants are getting everything and they are losing out.

talking of falling apart, do you remember the story of Gerald Ratner (Jeweller),who was doing very well until he said that a lot of his stock was crap. A very sharp fall followed, and the company disappeared.
They dare not make the same mistake!

Terry Brown, the last I heard about Gerald Ratner, he was still doing very well for himself!.
Bingalau, a Mars bar into eight slices, you must have been poor. I recall my trip once a week to the corner shop with the ration book, asking for "My Favourite", then having it all to myself for the next week. Then there was the "penuff of scraps", which usually consisted of a couple of bruised in season fruits, or the bag of batter scratching from the local chippy,then the possibility of the slice of bread and jam from a neighbour, with your mother returning the favour the next day or so. The kid's of today haven't lived?.

We were lucky, although my mum and dad were poor, they managed to bring the five of us up, through 'thick & thin'.
A 'Stork' margarine sandwich, sprinkled with granulated sugar, was a tasty treat.
Our childish eyes would light-up, after mum had a win at the local church bingo night, when she would treat us all to 'Creamola Foam' and 'Tree Top' fruity drinks...dilute to taste.
And despite the sugary overload, I've still got my own teeth, 50 years later.
Perhaps sugar sandwiches will make a comeback.
