What produces more sugar that can be used to power cars in this country? Sugar cane or sugar beets? Question: Brazil has pulled away from foreign oil by growing sugar cane and they use it to power their cars. I know we can grow sugar cane in this country. I live in California and several years ago we grew some sugar cane in our yard and it grew very well. I used to live in the Yakima Valley in Washington State and they grew sugar beets. So why can't this country do the same thing as Brazil and pull away from foreign oil? American car companies are selling flex cars in Brazil that use alcohol. Why can't we do the same? We have a number of alcohol producing plants in this country as well as beer and wine companies that could also be used for the processing of alcohol for cars. Hawaii and Puerto Rico have grown sugar cane. Corn is difinitely not the solution. The use of corn for fuel is affecting food prices in this country as well and it has proved to be very inefficient for the production of fuel for cars. Sugar cane produces 7 times more alcohol than corn. Answer: First, Brazil is independent of foreign oil, but it is not independent of oil (uses about 2.4 mbpd). Only about 15% of Brazil's fuel comes from ethanol. Unlike Brazil, the United States has severely restricted domestic oil production (importing about 13.5 mbpd of its 20 mbpd usage). Currently, the US uses about as much ethanol as Brazil does (about 5 billion gallons per year), but to totally ween off of the foreign oil we would need to use about 200 billion gallons per year, or 40 times what we currently use. If we used all of our 300 million acres of agricultural lands for sugar cane (something we can't do), we would barely be able to produce the 200 billion gallons of ethanol to shake off US oil imports. Second, I don't know where you get this "sugar cane produces 7 times more alcohol than corn" from. Sugarcane produces about 640 gallons per acre per year, while corn produces about 380 gallons per acre per year. If you consider that sugarcane grows year round but corn is only grown for 6 months, then you see that corn would actually be better if it were grown year round. If cellulose could be used for ethanol production, then corn would produce about 570 gallons per acre per year. And to answer the question; Beets or Cane? They both produce about the same sugar (and ethanol) yield per acre per year. However, cane can be grown continuously, while beets can only be grown 3/4 of the time due to necessary crop cycling. Also, this compares cane and beets in similar temperate environments (i.e. cane in Brazil or Louisiana vs beets in Idaho). In tropical environments like Hawaii, the annual cane yield can be 3 to 4 times greater. For most of the farm lands in the US, corn is the definitive winner for ethanol production. But to reiterate, we would need to use ALL of the farm land in the US to make enough ethanol to end oil imports. Not only that, but our fuel would be 100% ethanol (compared to Brazil's 15%). The simple truth is that we do not produce enough oil domestically, and we use too much oil overall. And one other benefit about corn. With sugarcane, ethanol is the only fuel it can produce (plus the husks of the cane). Corn not only makes ethanol, but biodiesel as well (and still has husks). Compared to the ethanol, the biodiesel production is low, but it's still another 20 gallons of fuel per acre. |

What is the cheapest method of travel from Washington State to Connecticut? Question: I live in Washington but I want to visit family in connecticut for the holidays. I am extremely poor but would do just about anything to go surprise my parents this Christmas. I just need to know the cheapest method, I won't walk but I will go by train, bus, car, plane, just about anything. Also, if you look and find something cheap could you tell me where you found it? Extra info. I live in Yakima, Wa but visit seattle often so I can drive there if need be, my parents live in Wilton, CT And I won't hitchhike Answer: It depends on how much time you have to travel. Both Amtrak train and Greyhound bus can get you there cheaper then a plane ticket right now. The train, 1-way from Seattle to Hartford is $470 but takes 3 days & requires 4 transfers in route. Greyhound Bus is cheaper if you buy the ticket in advance. A standard 1- way from Yakima to Wilton starts at $169 but you have to make 3 transfers and you need at least 3 days to make the trip. At this time of year, weather can be a factor for both train and bus, plus you need to add in the cost of meals and such along the way. Remember these are only 1-way prices, you still have to make the return trip. If you only have a week of vacation, that is a lot of time to spend traveling. If you are limited in time, a plane ticket might be a better option. For more info. Google Greyhound Bus and Amtrak train. They can give you more specific details about prices, schedules, and routes. |

Help me name a character...? Question: I'm writing a novel, but I'm having a hard time deciding on a name for my main character. Here is a brief description of her. She's forty-four years old. She has lived with her brother in Yakima, Washington since her husband disappeared thirteen years ago. Her daughter Lilly is twelve. My character used to be an astrophysicist for the US Air Force/Nasa until her obsession with aliens and ufos got in the way of her doing her job. She now works as a waitress. She was three when her mother died in a car accident. When she was fourteen her father shot himself in the head in front of her. She works hard for what she wants, but sometimes gives up easily. She wants to give her daughter the best life possible, but is finding it hard since she left the Air Force. Which name (and nickname) do you think fits best? Amelia(Millie/Milly, Amy) Charlotte(Char, Charlie/Charley, Lottie) Penelope(Penny) Elizabeth(Eliza, Liz, Betsey) Katherine(Kat, Katie, Kate) Mackenzie(Mac) Answer: I say Charlotte. Her nickname should be Charlie or Lottie (if it was Lottie it could be a reference to Phantom of the Opera, Charlotte ("Little Lottie") believed there was a ghost or angel haunting her, your character believes there are aliens/ufos. |

Going on a roadtrip from Dallas Texas to Washington state. Looking for some fun things to do along the way...? Question: Any ideas? We will be going through Amarillo Tx, Denvor CO, Cheyenne Wyoming, Rock springs, Salt lake city UT, Boise, And Through Yakima. Live in WA flying to TX to pick up a car and driving home. Any ideas of water parks. Anything that's outdoors. Shopping malls. Anything that is a need to see. For kids and adults... :) Thanks Or If you know of any country concerts going on during the 6th of july until the 10th! Answer: Dyer's BBQ, 1619 S. Kentucky St. in Amarillo. Get off I40 at Georgia St., go about a block north, and it's on the left. Verrrry tasty. Or, if you are in the mood for something more momentous, try to eat the 72 oz t-bone at the Big Texan (you will see billboards about as soon as you get out of Denton for the next bajillion miles)--eat it all, and all the sides (baked potato, salad, shrimp cocktail etc) in an hour, and it's free! They put you up on a little lighted pedestal, so people can watch you try. If you don't succeed...it's $80 or something like that. "Cadillac Ranch" just west of town (google it) |

Teens: how does my story sound so far? Question: Epilogue: having the strength to live under the full eclipse was like burrowing in a foggy light. It had this emotion to it which had this impossible cold feeling, but it rang in my ear, as what i was destined to do, kill myself. A BROKEN STONE. It was the day I was moving down into Tulun, Russia. I originally moved from a little town in Washington, Yakima. It was always temperture changing there, and i eventually got used to it. But my older 2 siblings sent me to Tulun to live with my great aunt, because they wanted to have more independant lives, but as I holded back my feelings, as i always did, they sent me off, with my spynx cat sakuya., and 3 suit cases of my old clothes, all the stuff in my bedroom, and the journals i had that were full of stories i had never finished. I took a small airplane to Tulun, then a blue cab for a few hours until i noticed a small road leading to a little yellow house on a hill ahead of me with a shack and a medium sized gardening house. I opened the door, finding the road was made of slightly moist dirt, as the cab driver gave me my items from the trunk, i noticed the temperture was kind of cold, about 48 degrees. I rolled my suitcases to the grass shaking the mudd off my pastel blue rain boots. But as the cab driver started to slowly start his car up again, i totally forgot about something, someone. Sakuya. i quickly ran in front of the car, banging the window, to tell the man i left her in their. I guess he heard me, cause he pointed to the door like a sign to open it. He clicked the unlock button, and i got sakuya out of the cab with her cage, finding something mysterious on the car floor, a folded peice of paper, I folded it a few times to make it smaller, and tucked it in my pocket. I shut the door, banged the top twice with my fist, and slowly waved back as the guy drove away. I turned around finding my aunt at the front of her peeled white fence chuckeling at something, and looking at me with her arms crossed. "Why hello there." She said with this deep smoothened accent. She uncrossed her arms grabbing my arms and holding me in a tight hug, in place so i couldn't move. "I'm your aunt, Sharie Magdolena. And you must be?" She gave me this puzzled look with both her golden blue eyes focusing on me, I standed a foot away from her blank for a few minutes then finally remembered what i had to say. "Anna, anna lorenza Shilds." I gasped as i finally let my breath loose. "Oh what a pretty name." She smiled wide, bringing her hands to her face together. She walked to the door up the squeaky wooden steps, signaling me to come in, with a blank expression on her face... - how is it? anything i should change? NOTE: later in the book anna is supposed to find a boy she loves there who is a mythological creature, but is not a wolf or vampire. Probably now. 2009 lol. or maybe the 80's or 70's. Answer: I like it alot! It is something I would read for sure!Q I love it! I would read it! Dont CHANGE it. Your style of writing is AMAZING to me! Ummm... Oh and the plot seems exciting! |

Did you know illegals can hit your car creating thousands in damages & the police say there is nothing they? Question: Did you know illegals can hit your car creating thousands in damages & the police say there is nothing they can do about it ? Illegals can walk away without this law applying to them, why are illegals above the laws ? http://www.kimatv.com/news/local/133501343.html YAKIMA -- Imagine this: Someone hits your car and causes $2,000 of damage. Damage you get the bill for. To make matters worse, that person responsible is in the U.S. illegally. "Here it's cracked, and it shattered the whole tail light," says car accident victim, Karen Daniels. Her car is fixed now, but that's after plenty of headaches and conversations with her insurance company. "She didn't have a driver's license, didn't have insurance, and she had no green card," says Karen. So that's where police step in. Or, do they? "The municipal law enforcement officer in state of Washington will handle the insurance issue, but they're not going to handle the immigration status," says Yakima Lieutenant, Mike Merryman. "It's not our role." So, who's role is it? YPD says Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, is responsible. We asked, "It's not YPD's job to tell ICE that this person is illegal? That's not your job? "No," says Merryman. "If we did that, it would be inappropriate and against procedures we have in place for our officers." I contacted ICE to find out just what your options are. They've set up a tip line and email to report illegals, but admit they have much bigger 'fish to fry' than fender bending illegals. It may not be fair, but police will tell you it's the way the Feds and the State interpret the law. We asked, "So for those who say, 'this isn't fair,' what do you say?" "It's very frustrating and very unfair, but unfortunately, that's the way the world is," says Merryman. "There are things out there that are unfair." Your best protection against footing the bill for an uninsured driver is to get uninsured or under-insured motorist coverage from your auto insurer. Answer: Yep. And once again, it is WE who are supposed to pay the extra premiums to carry uninsured driver insurance to cover ourselves for damages caused by people who aren't even supposed to be on the road. They know they will get away with it, so they do not care. If it were me, I would take them to court for the damages they caused. Even though I know I'd never see a penny of the money, at least they would see the inside of the courtroom. |

Wow isn't this scary???? Question: How open borders turn Americans into roadkill Illegals drive up highway deaths as U.S. hits new highs for unlicensed, uninsured motorists ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- Posted: August 25, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Vitalina Bautista Vargas bids farewell to husband in court (courtesy Chattanooga Times Free Press) WASHINGTON – Marcos Ramos Medina was driving his 1997 Chevrolet Lumina erratically, according to witnesses, swerving several times across the center line, causing a tractor-trailer rig to jackknife in Yakima, Wash., Aug. 4, 2005. That was before his car plowed into the 2000 Lexus driven by Peggy Keller, 53, dean of distance education at Yakima Valley College, who was killed in the head-on crash. Prosecutors in his vehicular homicide trial contended Medina was coming down from a methamphetamine high. When Russell T. "Todd" Sharpe, a six-year Washington State Patrol officer, testified that Medina fought against his restraints while being taken to the hospital for a blood alcohol test and refused to answer questions, the case against the Mexican national with a criminal record who had twice been deported was declared a mistrial because his constitutional right to remain silent had been violated. "It pains me greatly, but in this case I must exercise an abundance of caution," explained Judge James P. Hutton. Little caution, critics say, is being exercised when it comes to preventing mayhem on America's highways as the country witnesses record high numbers of unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured drivers – millions of whom are illegal aliens like Medina. While no one – in or out of government – tracks traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens. A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers. Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers. While police do not routinely ask drivers about their immigration status, New York's Rockland County District Attorney Michael Bongiorno – who has prosecuted more than 20 felony cases this year involving people accused of both unlicensed driving and drunken driving – estimated that two-thirds of about 70 drivers charged in Spring Valley with misdemeanor counts of driving while intoxicated and unlicensed driving were illegal immigrants. "Unfortunately, the undocumented drivers here do that (drive unlicensed) more than the natives,'' said California Highway Patrol Officer Wendy Hahn. "If they've been involved in an incident, they flee because they don't want to deal with immigration.'' Federal immigration officials typically do not get involved when an undocumented person is charged with drunken driving or driving without a license, said Bongiorno and police officials around the country. While the Census Bureau estimates there are 9 million illegal aliens living in the U.S., other sources put the figure closer to 20 million. Running parallel to those estimates are the best guesses on the number of unlicensed motorists – 17 million. In addition, the states with the most illegal aliens also have the most unlicensed drivers. Those states are also in the lead for the most hit-and-run accidents, according to reports issued by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the Pew Hispanic Center. California ranks at the top with 24.1 percent of the known 11.1 million illegal aliens. The proportion of unlicensed drivers varies widely state-by-state, with 6 percent in Maine and 23 percent in New Mexico. Many of those advocating allowing illegal aliens to get driver's licenses make the case by suggesting most unlicensed drivers are so because they cannot get a license. In California, for instance, the Legislature is considering several proposals that would help illegal immigrants drive. One of them is a bill that would prevent police from seizing vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers. Senate Bill 626 by Sen. Nell Soto, D-Ontario, would apply to all drivers who have never obtained a California license. Opponents point out those favoring the bill are the same people promoting licenses for illegals. 'Under current state law, police can seize vehicles for up to 30 days if the driver is unlicensed. Under the new bill, if the driver never had a license, the vehicle could be seized for only 24 hours; those who had licenses suspended or revoked would still have the vehicles impounded for up to 30 days. Who are the people who have never had a license? Disproportionately, critics of the bill say, they are illegal immigrants. In the Maryland Legislature, Delegate Luiz R.S. Simmons, D-Montgomery, is drafting legislation that would stiffen penalties for unlicensed drivers. His bill requires them to appear before a judge and would make them subject to up to 90 days in jail for a first offense and as much as a year for a second offense. In addition, cars belonging to unlicensed drivers could be impounded for up to a month or forfeited if they were involved in an accident that caused an injury. Though there is absolutely no government data on the identity of Maryland's unlicensed drivers – or those in any other state – Simmons's bill has been attacked by immigrant rights' activists, who say it targets Latinos. Whether they are mostly illegal aliens or not, one thing is certain – there are more unlicensed drivers on the road than ever before. So prevalent is the trend that many police departments have cut back on sobriety checkpoints in favor of checkpoints to check the documentation of drivers. A WND statistical study of police reports of dozens of such checkpoints around the country show that close to 10 percent of drivers stopped are either unlicensed or have suspended licenses. Even at sobriety checkpoints, far more drivers are found to be unlicensed than intoxicated. While some say the answer to the illegal alien-unlicensed driver crisis is permitting illegals to get licensed, others say the solution is decreasing the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States. Rules determining who is eligible for a driver's license vary by state. Eleven states do not require legal immigration status to obtain a license. The rest do require proof of legal status, either by state law or the documents required to apply. The eleven states are: Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Tennessee and Utah have introduced a separate "certificate for driving" for state residents who cannot prove they are lawfully present in the United States. But Tennessee stopped issuing the certificates in February after reports that undocumented immigrants were coming from out of state and using false documents to apply. The Real ID act, scheduled to take effect in 2008, will prohibit all states from issuing licenses to illegal aliens or the licenses will not be accepted as identification for federal purposes. In addition to being unlicensed, most illegal alien drivers are uninsured – making the accidents they cause even more injurious. Statewide, more than one-third of California drivers are without insurance, according to the California Department of Insurance. In some low-income and minority neighborhoods, the rate is over 50 percent. In San Jose, for instance, 55 percent of all drivers on the road have no auto insurance. In some parts of Los Angeles, Imperial, San Diego and Alameda counties, the rate reaches as high as 90 percent. The situation isn't much better in other states with high populations of illegals. In Texas, 27 percent of drivers are uninsured. In Florida, the estimates are between 15 and 25 percent. In Colorado, 32 percent. Even though citizens and legal residents are victimized by the high percentage of uninsured drivers, illegal aliens themselves are often immune to the pain. Take the case of Victor Manuel Caballero. Even though he entered the country illegally from Mexico five years ago, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that he could collect damages for being hurt in an auto accident from a special state fund set up to benefit those hurt in accidents with uninsured drivers. Caballero would hitch a ride to his computer job with a co-worker, 19-year-old Ricardo Martinez. One morning, Martinez fell asleep at the wheel, veered off the road and struck a parked tractor trailer. Martinez walked away from the accident, but Caballero was badly hurt. Surgeons repaired injuries to his abdomen and intestines over a week in the hospital at a cost of $38,300 in medical bills and $1,482 in lost wages. He had no medical insurance. The driver, Martinez was not only unregistered, he had no auto insurance. It turns out he was illegal, too. The $38,300 in hospital bills was paid by a special hospital charity fund. And because of his successful lawsuit that went all the way to the state Supreme Court, Caballero was eligible for up to $15,000 for "pain and suffering." There are no official statistics about highway carnage and illegal aliens. But there is an increasing awareness among law enforcement officials – and victims of traffic accidents – that illegal aliens are playing a disproportionate role in the road mayhem. Earlier this month, a court in Chattanooga, Tenn., heard the case of an illegal alien convicted of running her car into a house and killing a 91-year-old woman. A judge ordered Vitalina Bautista Vargas deported. Amazingly, the family of the victim remained compassionate and merciful. "They wanted one of the conditions to be that she learn how to drive," prosecutor Jay Wood said. Prosecutor Wood said federal officials insisted that she be deported. He said as a convicted felon, she will not be allowed to apply to re-enter the country for at least 10 years. Louella Winton, the victim, was asleep in her bed when the car crashed into her house. The vehicle knocked the victim through the bedroom wall and threw her against the wall of the house next door. Answer: I hope that first driver was at least deported after the mistrial. I love that if you just state facts and opinions the pros call for sources, but if you cut and paste they accuse you of not being able to think for yourself.... |
