9 Ways To Grow Shallots

Shallots grown from seed produce fewer bulbs than shallots grown from cloves. For instance, if the last expected frost date in your area is April 5, then plant the seeds around March 5. You can also actually cut larger cloves into smaller pieces and plant the individual pieces. Just make sure the head of the clove has some root on it. Starting shallot seeds in seed starting trays or small pots is a great way to let them grow into more established seedlings before you transfer them to grow in the ground or in larger containers...

90 House Dems Call On Senate To Return Path To Citizenship For Undocumented Immigrants

The letter, helmed by New York Representative Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez was addressed to the three highest-ranking members of the Senate: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, President Pro Tempore of the Senate Patrick Leahy and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin. In the letter, numerous influential House Democrats urged the Senate to include legislation in the bill that would allow certain undocumented immigrants to seek citizenship, including essential workers and Dreamers. House Democrats did include a provision in the Build Back Better act that allows these undocumented immigrants to apply for five-year work permits....

A Bad Case Of Euro Envy

A year and a half ago, I returned to the States after more than six years as a foreign correspondent. And like many U.S. expats who come home, I’ve been wondering why my native land seems so out of step with the other industrialized democracies at the dawn of the 21st century. The differences with Europe, in particular, have come into sharp relief since George W. Bush took office in January–from policy issues like defense and the environment to social issues like gay rights and the death penalty....

A Better Play

Is real estate a good alternative to stocks? In this market, anything that won’t evaporate can look attractive. “People want something that they can have and touch and feel,” says financial planner Patricia Houlihan. But your home is more of a lifestyle choice than an investment. Most people can’t afford to diversify, and real estate isn’t very liquid. Is housing overpriced? Most experts say that there isn’t a nationwide bubble, though some markets are overheated (example: Boston)....

A Big Pitch For Peace

The conflict goes far beyond the Cup. In the understated words of Pakistan’s manager, Zafar Altaf: “Unfortunately, there is an unfinished agenda at home.” Indians and Pakistanis had barely begun watching their teams’ first Cup matches last month when the two countries unceremoniously squared off at the brink of full-scale war in Kashmir. The military action was hardly unexpected; the start of combat on the high Himalayan frontier is almost a rite of spring....

A Bipartisan Way To Lower Costs And Restore Health Care Rights Opinion

But there is another way—a bipartisan way—to make health care more accessible: Let health savings accounts restore the rights of workers to control their health care dollars and choose their health plan. This would solve another problem, too: the fact that for 100 years, Congress has violated Americans’ health care rights by taxing workers who want to make their own health care decisions. Employers who offer health insurance pay an average $16,000 toward the premium of each worker with family coverage....

A Bipartisan Win For Religious Freedom Opinion

Since the passage of the Global Magnitsky Act in 2016, targeted financial and immigration sanctions have been increasingly used for the protection of human rights and in the fight against corruption. Targeted sanctions have the benefit of holding the worst human rights violators accountable for their actions while not being as broad or blunt as country-wide sanctions. Targeted sanctions tell violators they are no longer welcome to do business with the United States....

A Campaign Of Terror

That’s just fine with most Palestinians. If they have a strategy in the latest round of violence, it is to wear down the settlers and the soldiers who guard them, forcing Israelis to abandon the West Bank and Gaza. Rocks are not the only weapon they’re using: settlers have been shot at and bombed. Far more Palestinians have been killed than Israelis in the violence, but last week alone, five Israelis died in attacks on settlers, including the bombing of a schoolbus in Gaza....

A Campus Roiled By Racist Threats

The hate campaign has poisoned race relations in a place where black students have long felt isolated and unwelcome. Wolf now wears a bulletproof vest and is escorted by bodyguards provided by the university. But she and others say the administration has failed to act against a climate of racial intolerance. On April 21 demonstrators disrupted a football scrimmage; a few days later, some 300 activists began a “camp-in” at a student center....

A Church That Needs Healing

Change was what got the church in trouble in the first place. Officials at the Mother Church, which has been publishing The Christian Science Monitor since 1908, decided in the mid-1980s to expand into other publishing and broadcasting ventures, including radio and television programs. The Monitor Channel, which went on the air in May, was the newest and costliest offspring. Together, these operations have run up an estimated bill of $400 million since 1986....

Heretics like Rinke are still rare, but their ranks are growing. For months the used-car superstores have been the auto industry’s hottest story, and Saint Wayne has been lionized as the smartest automotive mind since Henry Ford. Now comes some revisionist thinking. Researchers at R.L. Polk say the superstores have overestimated the size of the used-car market by up to 50 percent. Wall Street seems to be having second thoughts, too....

A Deadly Blow To Peace

Israelis were still reeling from two terrorist attacks last week when yet another bomb ripped through a commuter bus in Jerusalem Sunday morning, bringing the week’s death count to at least 48. But the dead weren’t the only victims: 11 suicide attacks in the past two years have touched thousands of Israelis in deeply personal ways. Some friends and family of the victims want revenge; some try harder to end the bloodshed....

A Devilish Problem In San Diego

Church groups argue that the ranch’s very existence demonstrates California’s lack of affordable housing, a particular problem for immigrant workers. Many of the Rancho de los Diablos residents are documented aliens. Some work in the area’s booming agricultural fields; others hold year-round jobs in restaurants, domestic service, construction and landscaping businesses or pick up day work in the exclusive Fairbanks Ranch area nearby. Affluent Californians “cannot live without them and yet they don’t want them,” says the Rev....

A Director Confronts Some Dark Material

At one point, Weitz decided it was too steep. In 2004, Peter Jackson, who directed New Line’s previous fantasy trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings,” to 17 Academy Awards and more than $3 billion at the box office, invited Weitz down to New Zealand for a one-week crash course: Blockbusters 101. Jackson was directing “King Kong” at the time, and Weitz soaked up everything he could. Jackson also offered advice for dealing with New Line since his own relationship with the studio had soured....

For now, both sides are. The danger is that in India today, as elsewhere, the hard-liners rule. Taking a cue from George W. Bush’s uncompromising war on terror, New Delhi is demanding that the Pakistani president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, cease once and for all his nation’s support for “cross-border terror” groups that have helped Pakistan wage a fight over the disputed province of Kashmir against its much larger neighbor. After a deadly Dec....
