One would not think that the opening of a manufacturing plant with 100 new jobs would be a huge call for celebration but that is exactly what happened in Michigan this week. The politicians and auto executives turned out to welcome in a new battery plant that could be the beginning of a rebirth for the auto industry as we go to greener cars. Some would say that they, and we, are grasping at straws but I don't think so. The dramatic change that must occur in this industry and many more has to start somewhere and I like that is starting in the car capital state of Michigan. This opening helps me at least understand what the President and others mean by "green" jobs and what it will take for us to keep jobs stateside but go global.

I have had a problem I am growing some tomato plants and they have started to die on me. I think this was deliberate can anyone tell me what would kill a plant that's in a liquid form and is also odourless

wow...
maybe it's something in the toxic mold around there that causes violent car ramming impulses?
I know I've felt it coming on occasionally.
But wait. The guy was already wearing a helmet. Was this planned or was he psychic? Very strange!!!

Like a certain medieval hot period that has been "smoothed" out of existence just because it was inconvenient. But then again, that must not be a "surprise" to you and all those "respected scientists" you talk of. Because to you it is clearly all about respect really and how you get to that position where you have it so you can throw it around like it adds up to something, everything else is just a background.

I thought marine biology, but not many career options for them. I just know I want to work with fish, I love and I love swimming. I work in the maritime world and take care of your fish, or simply work on a tank and monitoring of animals and things. But I need help. What do I need to specialize in the world of work at sea or aquarium?
