New Mexico - New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez plans to end a program that supplements federal food stamps for thousands of low-income elderly and disabled people in the state.
The Human Services Department will reportedly stop the assistance on July 1, because there is no money in the budget for it.
Lawmakers say last year the program cost the state nearly $500,000.
Under the program, New Mexico provides supplemental assistance to those who qualify for federal food stamps....
And currently serves more than 4,000 New Mexicans.

As members and regular regular visitors can see, we've changed the look of the website!
Why? you may ask!
So, hopefully you will find it easier to navigate round the site using the
menu system, and find the pages more consistent and clearly laid out, but most
importantly it is what lies behind the scenes...
We can now have more than one web editor. By having the calendar and menu on
a database we can allow and control more than one person updating the website
- hence the new web team below (which we hope to grow). We hope you will notice
more updates and news and will feel able to contribute more of your own news,
stories etc. If you are responsible for stuff covered by specific page(s) then
there is even a facility for maintaining "stop press" updates to
your pages yourself via a web interface, without any need for special skills or
Some (very few) pages are now password protected, so you'll have to ask me
if you think you want to see them! And there are even more features in the pipeline!
I have gone 'live' with this new look before all the wrinkles have been ironed
out, so don't be too surprised if something isn't 100%, but please feel free to
e-mail one of us if you see anything that can be improved!!!
Many thanks to Mark and Jeremy without whom I couldn't have got to this point
with the new website, Joe Cross for temporarily hosting the 'old' website (which
will remain visible at www.latina.org.uk for a short while) and many others for
content, advice and suggestions etc...

A Cupful of BB
Already the cup of choice for those who like their tea to have style and substance, Kusmi, the 145-year-old Russian-born, Paris-adopted brand, is entering fragrant new territory with the launch of its latest brew. You've heard of BB creams (and also CC, and soon enough, DD); now, say hello to BB teas. Much like their topical counterparts, Kusmi's BB tea—here, short for Beauty Beverage, not Beauty Balm; the moniker was the brainchild of the women working in the company's Paris offices—has skin refining at its core. They are just doing it from the inside out. The sweetly aromatic blend of antioxidant-rich green tea, vitamin A- and C-packed dandelion, and alpha-hydroxy-laced rooibos, is designed to provide intense hydration for the skin while also boosting immunity and helping to remove toxins from the body. Kusmi CEO Sylvain Orebi suggests five cups a day for maximum skin-detoxing benefits, and considering how delicious the tea is, heeding that advice should prove very easy.

New hostas appeared one morning along Town Street in Downtown Columbus.
"Andy must be at work," says Georgeanne Reuter, noticing the plants on her way to work as the director of the Kelton House Museum & Gardens on the same street.
For the past 20 years, Andy Henn has been generously sharing plants from his townhouse's courtyard garden to beautify his pocket neighborhood along Franklin Avenue and Town Street. Here, he's created a unified block-wide landscape, lining sidewalks with his signature plants—hostas, flowering pear trees and monkey and pampas grasses.
This urbanite's passion for gardening is infectious. As neighbors see how he transformed his townhouse courtyard, they are eager to do the same at their own properties.
"Since he keeps his place so nice, we're inspired to get out and take care of ours, too," says neighbor Sharon Sullivan, who lives next door in a century-old home and is grateful for Henn's help landscaping her front patio.
Twenty years ago, Henn moved from Manhattan to the neighborhood to be closer to his family in Columbus. While he visited several urban locations in search of an investment property, he was drawn to an 1845 Italianate house and the surrounding Franklin Avenue-Town Street area, with its character-rich brick apartment buildings, lush trees and well-kept century-old homes. At the time, the historic neighborhood was being marketed as a cultural hub for its four colleges, beloved Topiary Park and attractions like the Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus Metropolitan Library, Shedd Theater and Kelton House Museum—all just blocks away from his new home.
No doubt, the house was in need of renovation, but he saw potential to restore its four units—one for him and three others for prospective tenants—plus cultivate a lush garden in its shared brick courtyard.
"It reminded me of a New York brownstone," he says.
Stepping away from a successful sales career with lingerie designer Eve Stillman, Henn says he was ready for a change to property management and "cut his teeth" renovating his Franklin Avenue home and leasing three of its units. Years later, he would expand his property-management responsibilities to 193 nearby rental properties—The Belmont Apartments, five turn-of-the century houses on Franklin Avenue and additional buildings on Town Street.
In the midst of renovating, Henn took time out for gardening, a hobby he discovered as a teenager when he worked alongside his late father in the garden of their coastal home in southern Monmouth County, New Jersey. Even when he moved to Manhattan, he would return on weekends to garden with his father. On these weekend escapes, he fell in love with the area's estate gardens and their manicured privet hedges, lush hosta borders and brightly colored floral beds, which would later inspire his garden designs in Columbus.
"Here, in Central Ohio, I hoped to recreate that verdant splendor I found while gardening alongside my father," he says.
Henn confesses he had no master plan for his garden. Rather, it evolved project by project, through trial and error and through "forces of nature." His first such project was planting a Jersey shore-inspired privet hedge along the front of his house, complete with an arched iron gate providing a glimpse inside his ornate courtyard. Inside the gate, he added four upright European hornbeam trees and trained euonymus vines in living lattice patterns along the brick walls. He also filled the courtyard with a multiplying collection of urns and pots of boxwood and ferns. Today, the collection has grown to 47, with pots lining a black iron staircase, sitting atop columns and adorning each unit's front stoop. He also acquired black cast-iron furniture, metal and stone benches and ornaments such as statues, a wire bird cage, a wall fountain and stone-like spheres. Henn confesses a designer friend occasionally has to "pull back" his accessorizing enthusiasm.
"It can be like a bad Italian restaurant sometimes," he says. Joking aside, his garden embellishments favorably echo the home's Italian-styled ironwork, from its curved window guards and arched front gate to the ornamental fence-top finials.
He points to the front courtyard's water feature as an example of his trial-and-error approach. When he moved into the home, he pulled out a former container's overgrown yews and unsuccessfully tried other plants. At the suggestion of a friend, he decided to convert the container into a water garden. The weekend project involved digging out the dirt, adding a rubber lining and filling it with water, aquatic plants and stones. Later, he tried a litany of various fish and frogs, but only the goldfish survived. "The frogs would hop out and get eaten by my dogs," he says of predacious chow mix Victor and shepherd mix Louis.
In addition to trial and error, Henn says his gardening efforts can be "undermined by acts of God." For example, in the back courtyard, he says a giant locust tree was hit by lighting and "imploded." With it gone, the courtyard was open to more sunlight and became a blank slate for new landscaping. He added a vine-covered arched entry, a central pond and several lush beds to create a park-like setting for the townhouse residents.
In the back courtyard's "triple-tiered" garden, he encircles a weeping birch with Francis Williams hosta, boxwood and autumn joy sedum. In a far corner, he tucks a cupola he salvaged from a Long John Silver's dumpster. Here, he adds whimsical forms with a spiral silver juniper, a blue atlas cedar, Japanese cedars and dwarf weeping maple trees.
In the opposite corner, Henn formed an intimate seating area with an elaborate iron gazebo beneath the shade of a large sycamore tree. He filled the inviting space with various hydrangeas, a southern magnolia, Dutchman's Pipe vines and containers of ferns and succulents.
In designing the back courtyard, he cleverly built perimeter walls just high enough to obscure the view of the adjoining parking lot while still offering a glimpse of the Downtown skyline. He then camouflaged the walls with neatly trimmed privet hedges.
Over the years, Henn says his gardening style has evolved.
"I kind of liken it to a style where Italy meets New Orleans," he says. "I like that whole bawdy courtyard feel."
As Henn took on management responsibilities for The Belmont Apartments and other rental properties, he transformed their landscapes with his favorite plants. The Belmont's steps are lined with boxwoods and hostas. Other properties' landscapes were transformed similarly. In addition, he started lining sidewalks with monkey grass, beginning with his own townhouse before expanding to neighbors' residences and the rental properties. He says he fell in love with this tough southern groundcover plant when he visited his sister in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta and admired it bordering beautiful manors. Later, he found the plant did well in his Ohio garden and decided, "I'm going to give Franklin Avenue that impressive manor look. I didn't ask permission … I just beg for forgiveness later!"
As Henn's plantings expanded, neighbors began to catch his gardening passion.
"He's up at 4 a.m. working early in the garden before any of us even roll over," Sullivan says. "He's very enthusiastic, and it rubs off on us."
When Sullivan, now 80, moved into the home next door, Henn offered to landscape her front patio.
"You can have the back, but don't do anything in the front. I'll take care of the front," she says Henn told her teasingly.
"He didn't want me to look shabby, since he had properties on both sides of me," she says with a smile.
In front of Sullivan's house, he planted a privet hedge and pear trees so she could have some privacy as she sat on her front porch. He further filled the space with a vinca groundcover and a colorful border of 36 hydrangea plants he found on sale at Wal-Mart for a dollar each. While Henn does the planting and pruning, he recruits Sullivan's help for the watering.
"Watering—that's my homework," she says.
Beyond gardening, Henn spreads his cheerful demeanor and acts of kindness throughout the neighborhood. For example, Sullivan says he greets neighbors by name and surprises them with Saturday-morning doughnuts or cut-flower bouquets from his garden.
"You wish you had somebody in every neighborhood like Andy," Sullivan says.

3 Coal Stocks to Buy
Faizan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The U.S coal industry has been going through difficult times in the recent past. Lower natural-gas prices, rising environmental regulations and excessive coal supplies have shaped extraordinary pressure for the coal industry. In the last two years, Market Vectors Coal, an ETF, has dropped 61% in price.
However, I believe the coal industry will improve in the future as lately natural-gas prices have been trending upward, coal supply management is improving and demand for met coal will increase by China and India. Therefore, I believe the three coal stocks best positioned in the industry to buy in anticipation of coal market recovery are Peabody Energy (NYSE: BTU), Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI) and Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF).
The leader
Peabody Energy is the largest private-sector coal company of the world. The company is the leading low-cost coal producer in the U.S. region, and also has been increasing its operations in Australia. Peabody Energy's recent efforts to expand its operations in Australia will bode well for the company as the region is among the leading coal exporters of the world. In 2011, Australia was the world's second-largest coal exporter. Currently, more than 40% of the total revenue of the company are earned from Australian operations.
Another promising sign for Peabody is that in comparison to its peers, it has a higher gross margin of 24%. The following table shows the gross margin of Peabody compared to its peers in the industry.
Source: Yahoo! finance
For the 1Q 2013, Peabody posted better-than-expected financial results. The company was successful in registering an earnings surprise of 64% in the last quarter. Bottom-line performance for Peabody is likely to benefit from its ongoing cost-reduction efforts. For the year 2013, U.S. mining expenses are expected to be reduced by 2% to 3% as compared to last year.
I am also bullish on these two coal stocks, are you?
Arch Coal is among the coal stocks which I believe offers investors an attractive investment opportunity. With coal reserves of more than 5.5 billion tons, Arch Coal is the world's third-largest private-sector coal producer. The company has been taking steps to increase its operations in China so that it can effectively tap the market opportunities available in China and neighboring markets. Recently, Zhang Shijie has been hired by Arch coal to lead the Chinese operations. China offers a huge market potential for Arch Coal, as China is the leading steel producer and met coal consumer of the world.
Despite the ongoing slow coal market environment, Arch does not seem to encounter cash flow problem in the near future, as there is no significant debt repayment until 2016. In 2016, the company is expected to repay $600 million of debt followed by $1,638 million in 2018. Analysts are also bullish on Arch Coal and have forecast earnings growth rate of 5% per annum for the next five years.
Another coal company on which I remain bullish is Cliffs Natural. The company is primarily involved in providing met coal and iron ore to the steel industry. In recent times, Cliffs Natural has diversified its production and geographical base. Steel production is expected to increase by 3% in 2013, which will be positive for the company as it supplies met coal to steel producers.
Cliffs Natural delivered healthy financial performance in the recent first quarter, by posting earnings per share of $0.60 as compared to analysts' consensus of $0.32. The company is expected to deliver healthy financial performance in the future as analysts have projected a decent five-year growth rate of 4% on average. Earlier this month, Cliffs Natural announced the extension of a supply agreement with Essar Steel for eight more years. This announcement is viewed positively as it provides volume visibility in the upcoming years.
Foolish risks
If natural-gas prices lose their upward trend and drop to a level where coal loses its cost competitiveness, this will adversely affect the coal industry. Also, a slowdown in China, India and other emerging markets' infrastructure spending will translate into lower met coal demand and hence a depressed environment for the coal industry.
Foolish final words
As stated above, due to increases in natural-gas prices, better coal supply management and increases in steel production, the coal industry is likely to get better in the future. Therefore, I remain bullish on the three aforementioned companies as they have strong fundamentals and are superior to their peers.
These companies are working to improve their cost structures, which will support their bottom-line performance in the ongoing tough industry environment. Also, decent five-year growth projections by the analysts (as discussed above), indicate bottom-line expansion for three companies going forward.
Cliffs Natural Resources has grown from a domestic iron ore producer into an international player in both the iron ore and metallurgical coal markets. It has also underwhelmed investors lately, especially after its dramatic 76% dividend cut in February. However, it could now be looked at as a possible value play due to several factors that are likely to remain advantageous for Cliffs' management.

Did I mention I love-love-love Rick Bayless' Mexican Everyday?
Here's one more reason, a quick supper (or better yet, lunch, see below) of tacos, infinitely variable, completely delicious.
And I'm in love-love-love with Mexican queso fresco, much like the uuni justo (oven cheese) I ate ALL the time when living in Finland.
NEXT TIME I will go easy on the canned chipotle pepper and its adobo sauce. This turned out hotter than pleasant -- not inedible-hot, not eye-watering hot, not mouth-burning hot, just hotter than pleasant. I added a can of hominy in an attempt to quell the heat -- turns out, it was a great addition.
PRODUCTS I LOVE I picked up these tortillas from LaTortilla Factory because they were whole grain and on sale (for St. Louisans, at Dierbergs, Rock Hill). Turns out, I love 'em -- and with only 1 Weight Watchers point, they're a point bargain (50 calories, 2 grams fat and 8 grams fiber). And only 3 net carbs. Now if I were really inspired, I'd make my own tortillas (and I will, some day soon!) or drive to pick up fresh ones. But for every day, these make me happy.
LEFTOVER REPORT I loved this for supper but LOVE it left over, for lunch. A tortilla, a half cup of filling, warmed in the mike, add a spoon of something 'cool' like nonfat yogurt or cottage cheese plus a slice of grilled pepper or chopped lettuce, some cilantro and salsa: call it lunch in five minutes flat, for all of three points. Take THAT to the weekly weigh-in, won't you?

Time to table: 25 minutes
Makes 4 cups (enough for 8 tacos)
[Rick's recipe starts with an optional 4 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo sausage]
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 white onion, chopped
3 ounces fresh mushrooms, trimmed, broken into pieces (I used baby portabellas, next time I'd use the full 8 ounces)
15 ounce can diced tomatoes [Rick suggests fire-roasted, I used what was on hand]
1 chipotle pepper from a can plus 1 1/2 teaspoons of its sauce [this was too much for my taste, next time I'd use maybe a quarter or even skip entirely]
3/4 pound zucchini, trimmed and chopped in 1/2 inch pieces
[feel most free to add/substitute other vegetables]
15 ounce can hominy, drained and rinsed
Salt to taste
8 tortillas, warmed if desired
4 ounces crumbled Mexican queso fresco (or feta or goat cheese or sour cream)
Fresh cilantro, chopped
In a skillet, heat the oil til shimmery. Add the onion and sauté til softening and beginning to brown, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often til beginning to soften.
Puree the tomato, chipotle and adobo sauce in a blender. [Skip this step if skipping the chipotle. And even so, you could finely chop the chipotle rather than getting out, using, washing, putting away the blender.] Add to skillet and let cook down a bit, til the consistency of tomato sauce. Stir in the zucchini and any other vegetables. Season to taste.
Divide mixture among 8 tacos, top with queso fresco and cilantro. Serve immediately.

The left of the brain is on the right side of each panel. Panels A and B are images from T2-weighted sequences two weeks after onset of an acute right hemiparesis. Note the high signal in the sagittal sinus (arrow, B) and in the left parieto-occipital region (arrows, A and B), which does not conform to a single arterial territory, does not extend out to the cerebral cortex, and is consistent with venous infarction. Panels C and D are from T2-weighted sequences acquired two months later; by contrast, these images show a normal flow void (dark) in the sagittal sinus (arrow, D), with little abnormal signal in the left parieto-occipital region.
To the Editor: Recent reports suggest that atypical antipsychotics are associated with increased risk of cerebrovascular adverse events, such as stroke, particularly in older people with dementia,1 though the mechanisms remain unknown. We describe a case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis likely to be associated with clozapine, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported.
A 39-year-old woman with chronic schizophrenia was admitted with a relapse of psychotic symptoms having previously been stable on depot flupentixol for many years. Her psychosis was resistant to increased doses of oral flupentixol and risperidone. Her medications were changed to clozapine, and during the second week of dose escalation (at 100 mg b.i.d.), she developed an acute right hemiparesis and visual field loss. A CT scan several days later showed left parieto-occipital infarction, but the images were degraded by motion. A provisional diagnosis of ischemic stroke was made. Routine biochemical, renal, liver, bone, lipid, hematology, and thyroid profiles; erythrocyte sedimentation rate; C-reactive protein; ECG; chest X-ray; transthoracic echocardiography; and extracranial Doppler studies were normal. Her only vascular risk factors were smoking 20 cigarettes per day and a history of stroke in her father.
An MRI 10 days later showed evidence of thrombus within the sagittal sinus, with left parieto-occipital infarction (Figure 1, panels A and B). Clozapine treatment was ceased, and the hemiparesis resolved over 1 month. A repeat MRI 2 months after symptom onset demonstrated recanalization of the sagittal sinus and near-resolution of the parieto-occipital abnormality (Figure 1, panels C and D), supporting the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and venous infarction.
No prothrombotic risk factors could be identified: she had not been dehydrated, detailed thrombophilia screening (including protein C, S, antithrombin III, Factor V Leiden, anticardiolipin antibodies) was negative, there was no systemic malignancy, and she was not taking the contraceptive pill. We therefore suggest that the cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may have been related to the recent introduction of clozapine.
Antipsychotic medications are associated with pulmonary and deep vein thrombosis, and clozapine in particular has been associated with fatal thromboembolism.2 Recent case-control studies have shown an increased risk of venous thromboembolism in antipsychotic-treated patients under 60 years old, especially with atypical agents.3 Postulated mechanisms include drug-induced sedation, obesity, antiphospholipid antibodies, and activation of the coagulation system.4 To date, there have been no previous reports of cerebral venous thrombosis associated with antipsychotic medication.
Cerebral venous thrombosis and venous infarction can easily be missed or mistaken for arterial ischemic stroke. The clinical presentation is extremely variable, though headache, seizures, papilledema, and focal neurological symptoms are common. Recognition is vital since anticoagulation may be indicated for ischemic stroke. Our report suggests a possible association between cerebral venous thrombosis and antipsychotic medication. Thus, we recommend that a diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis should be considered in patients on antipsychotic medications who present with stroke-like symptoms without significant vascular risk factors.

CHATTANOOGA VALLEY, Ga.—Contractor Donny Parrish has looked at about 70 storm-damaged houses in the tri-state region and, though the devastation in Walker County hasn't grabbed headlines like in other areas, he said it's about on par with anything around.
"It's bad," said Parrish, evaluating a house in the Eagle Landing subdivision off Highway 193. "Not as bad as Ringgold, but it's bad."
Chattanooga Valley, Hinkle, Rossville, Flintstone and other areas in northern Walker County took a major hit from the storm that slammed into Trenton on April 27.
County Coordinator David Ashburn said 1,500 to 2,000 homes in Walker County were damaged, with 40 to 60 of them destroyed. About 150 have what Ashburn considers "major damage."
No one died in Walker County storms, but a Chickamauga resident was killed at a relative's house in Higdon, Ala. Ashburn said 25 Walker residents were taken to hospitals after the storm, and five were kept overnight. Between 80 and 100 victims were treated on the scene, he said.
"You don't hear much about Walker County on the news, but we've probably got more dollar damage than Dade County," Ashburn said.
He could not give an exact figure for that damage. No estimate of damage has been released for Dade County, either.
Meanwhile, the cleanup has begun.
Electrical workers, roofers and tree crews swarmed around Flintstone and Chattanooga Valley on Thursday afternoon. Neighbors removed debris from their yards and discussed damage with insurance adjusters.
"It looks so much better even now," said Eagle Landing resident Jimmy Saunier, who returned home Wednesday when power was restored.
Saunier's home escaped most of the damage, but a two-by-four burst through a window on the front of his house, leaving a dent in a door on the opposite side of the room.
"It was just a straight shot right through," he said.
Walker County Commissioner Bebe Heiskell said she was shocked at all the mangled buildings, especially around Hinkle on Lookout Mountain.
"Some of them are just lying there in splinters," she said.
One house in Eagle Landing was shifted several feet off its foundation, collapsing onto a truck in a garage.
Twenty steps away, Russell Mask was shocked to find his raspberry bushes in perfect shape. The storm blew out several of his home's windows, coating the rooms inside with leaves, glass and other debris.
Volunteers and county workers are helping the neighborhood recover, Mask said.
"We have no complaints," he said. "This is county government at work."
Ashburn said crews have passed out 1,300 tarps and hauled off loads of downed trees and debris. On Wednesday night, they handed out heaters to residents in higher elevations where the temperature dropped into the 30s. Much of the cost to the county will be reimbursed by federal disaster money, he said.
"Even though we're working 16- to 18-hour days, it recharges your battery because it reminds you why you're here," Ashburn said.

Indian car market encompasses a tremendous scope for growth, which is one of the reasons it has become the focus of several companies. With so vast population, the number of opportunities on offer for car makers are incredibly high. India is a country comprising metropolitans, towns and rural areas, which automatically means that there is wide variety of vehicles being driven. In past three decades, the Indian car market has made terrific progress in terms of sales, number of auto companies and technology. The consumer situation in India has transformed drastically as cars have, now, become quite common unlike earlier times, when they were considered a luxury.
Several reasons have led to the transformation of Indian car market, making it one of the most prominent industries in the country. Over the years, income levels of people have increased and as a result, their standards of living have also improved. Simultaneously, the need of cars, understandably, grew along with the rise in social status. In the past two decades, the working class has become the focus of most automobile manufacturers operating in India. Possessing a vehicle has, in the modern day scenario, become a regularity for a family living in city. Also, purchasing new car is seen as a sign of progress a person has made economically.
A hatchback, typically, represents the consumer choice in India, which is influenced by factors like fuel efficiency, affordability and suitability to conditions. Success of hatchbacks can be seen in the reports and statistics prepared by the industry body, which have revealed that companies dominating the market rely heavily on this segment. Apart from the working class, there are several car enthusiasts in the country who have a strong economic position, thereby can afford to purchase luxury vehicles. The presence of rich class has created a demand for luxury cars across the country and subsequently, opened the doors for several internationally renowned car manufacturers.
Initially, there were limited companies operating in the India with some of them being based domestically. However, after the economic policy revised in 1991, foreign car makers started making their way into India to explore the kind of potential the market possessed. Another trend that has been going on for a while in India is the collaboration between a top international car brand and a domestically based auto firm. It has augured well for a number of firms and some of them are currently enjoying a dominant position in the country.
Foreign car makers have had a mixed run in India with some performing exceptionally well while the others failing to make much of an impact despite being present for a number of years. Now, there are certain factors that influence a foreign firm's performance in India. To begin with, it is a great benefit if the car maker is based in a country that has similarities with the Indian market, which helps in better understanding of the conditions for planning. This is a major reason why companies from Southeast Asian countries have been able to create a name for themselves in India.
With the advent of technology and superior mediums of research, companies have been able to analyse the kind of product line they should have in India. Broadly categorising, there would be two types of auto makers operating in the Indian car market. First are the ones that want to generate sales on a high level and establish their dominance. The other section would be companies that have a niche market and do not target masses. Firms falling in the first category always look to have a holistic approach, which includes aggressive advertising campaigns, extensive dealership network development and establishment of production facilities. Having a self owned production plant helps a company to reduce cost and thereby, price a newly launched vehicle aggressively. On the other hand, the second category of car makers have limited dealerships and expect their vehicles to sell themselves without the need of much advertising or promotion.
To put things in a nutshell, the Indian auto industry has been constantly progressing with almost all major car makers operating in the country. This has been the result of rising incomes of people and their demand for new cars. In fact, the past few years have seen a whole bevy of new vehicles from different segments being launched in India, a trend that is likely to continue for coming years. According to a recent report, companies have started making India their base for production, owing to low cost of labour. After manufacturing vehicles in India, firms are exporting them to other international markets, which is being seen as a positive sign by experts. In addition, some auto makers have plans of completely conceptualising, developing and manufacturing cars in India.

We had a very late frost when the flowers were almost at their best , but not quite, and they all turned brown and withered. It is always touch and go as to whether they really show their best...could this be what happened to yours ?
Having removed my broad beans I forked in pelleted chicken manure and planted out my cauliflowers from their 1 litre pots .... firmed them in , netted them and now the outer leaves are all going orange... what's this about ?
We gardeners are never really happy are we ?! At the moment yours is a problem we could do with right now ....my wildflower meadow is sitting in a flood , my huge rambler roses are rotting in the bud , the moorhens and slugs are happy so we head off to an open air concert tomorrow with wellies rather than flip -flops !
Many thanks ( I think ! ) for that.I will do all you recommend and hope for the best .The plants are in the soil in the greenhouse so not movable... thanks again for your help and here's to great crops of fantastic toms for us all...Jo
this is it!
More like the top one . I'll see if I can get you a pic.I've removed the worst of the leaves to try and slow down the spread, increased the airflow ,decreased the watering and feedingand will keep an eye on it all ... thanks so much for all your help.
hope this helps! this is the top side & on the reverse the spots are brown
If I were to ( on one or two plants) remove all the affected leaves could the plant still function with maybe only a very few leaves and plenty of potential fruit ? I love the potato leafed Branywine too ...sometimes difficult to get it to set fruit and therefore not the most prolific plant but what flavour !
The spots are yellowish on the top of the leaves and brown on the undersides and leaves are affected from top to bottom of the plants. The variety worst affected is Brandywine Pink. No sign of darker spots in the patches.
Not as extreme ...those are dead patches and maybe mine will become like that but in size and shape they are similar. I am really grateful for your input Italophile ..thanks.

With six of the top seven-ranked players in the world in contention, Tiger Woods surprisingly eased into the green jacket for the third time.
Woods wasnt spectacular, but didnt need to be in shooting 1-under 71 to successfully defend his title in the 66th Masters Tournament. Woods, who recorded his first of now seven major championships here in 1997, finished the 2002 edition at 12-under-par 276.
'It was tough going out there,' said Woods, who accepted the 42-inch long jacket from Augusta National chairman Hootie Johnson - a ceremony usually performed by the defending champion. 'I worked my butt off this week.'
Retief Goosen finished three back after a frustrating round of 2-over 74. Phil Mickelson (71) earned his sixth career top-3 in a major by finishing solo third at 8-under.
I dont think finishing third is anything to be disappointed about ' obviously, I would have like to have won my first major, said Mickelson.
Only one player broke 70 Sunday - Shigeki Maruyama (67) - at Augusta National, which was lengthened by 285 yards and toughened from a year ago.
The 26-year-old Woods is the seventh player to win this event at least three times, and joins Jack Nicklaus (1965, 66) and Nick Faldo (1989, 90) as the only repeat winners. In accomplishing these feats, he also collected $1,008,000.
Woods has now converted 54-hole leads into 72-hole victories 23 of 25 times in his career. He started the final round tied at 11-under with reigning U.S. Open champion Goosen. Vijay Singh (No. 7) was alone in third, two back. Mickelson (No. 2), Ernie Els (No. 3) and Sergio Garcia (No. 5) were all four back at minus-7.
The stage was set for one of the most intoxicating finishes in major championship history. And early Sunday, fact and fantasy fused.
Els and Mickelson each birdied their first two holes to cut their deficits in half. Roars reverberated through the tall Georgia pines, sending fans into a frenzy.
But before the needle could pin on the excitement meter, it dropped faster than an aging prizefighter.
Woods birdied the second and third holes to move to 12-under. Goosen, meanwhile, bogeyed the first and parred the next two to lose three strokes in three holes. He made it four for four with a three-putt bogey at the fourth.
Mickelson missed the green at Nos. 4 and 5 and bogeyed both. Singh played the front in level par; Garcia went out in 1-over 37 and never factored, posting a 75. And Els failed to capitalize on his fast start. The two-time U.S. Open champion played holes 3-12 in even, and found the water twice at the par-5 13th for a triple-bogey-8. He ended with a 73, tied for fifth at minus-6.
I tried ' just made a terrible swing on 13 and that cost me the tournament, said Els, who hit his tee shot into the left pines on the dogleg left. I got greedy ' tried to hit a 3-wood (off the tee), hook it around the corner. Its not the shot to play anymore. I knew that before I started the tournament.
Woods teased the field with a profanity-producing tee shot at the par-4 fifth. He hooked a driver, but it avoided disaster by hitting a tree and caroming into a clean patch of grass. He purposely hooked his next shot, around the pines and onto the front of the green. However, he three-jacked for his first bogey since the 14th hole Thursday.
Still, Woods led Singh by two shots at 12-under. He then crushed all competitors, hope of a meaningful back nine by chipping in for birdie at the par-3 sixth.
He parred Nos. 7-10, and bogeyed the par-4 11th, but still maintained a three-shot cushion entering Amen Corner, as Singh lost a shot at 11 as well.
The 2000 champion also bogeyed the par-4 14th, and, similar to Els, plunked two in the drink on the par-5 15th for a quadruple-bogey-9. He carded a gory 5-over 41 on the back nine to go from potential multiple Masters victor to an also-ran. He shot 76 to finish seventh, seven back.
Woods hit only one red-letter shot down the stretch ' an approach to a foot on No. 15. And even though he came home in 1-over 37, he never lost his nine-hole advantage of three.
'It's awfully special. For some reason, this one seemed a little harder (to win),' said Woods. 'It's been a long week, with the weather and the weather delays.'
Play was suspended Friday due to torrential downpours. Nearly half the field, including Woods, who had to play 26 holes, was forced to complete their second and third rounds Saturday.
Thunderstorms were in the forecast Sunday, but stayed away - and thankfully so. The play proved sloppy enough without the storm.
