the 2015 soybean harvest looks to become the nation's largest ever. jessica rae: in this weeks gardening segment... melinda meyers tells us about the science behind the fall color. here she is now with more. "the brilliant fall l color in ourlandscapes is a magicaca transformation that happeneneach year. and the science behind it all is just as intriguing. each fall as the days shorten our deciduous trees and shrubs begin this transformation. the plants produce less of the chlorophyll that gives leaves their normal green color. in fact, the chlorophyll starts breaking down revealing the underlying pigments of yellow, red or orange. at the same time these plants begin to create an abscission layer between the leaf and stem. this barrier prevents the sugars produced in the leaves from moving dodo into the roots sunny days followed by cool nights without a hard frost mean more sugar and better red, orange, and purple fall color. genetics determine the color each plant tends to produce in fall, while weather and the plant's health influence if and how inte

the two groups through whom the future of these nations comes, the children of these nations. e deep conclusion that the roots of many things that we value such as democracy and human rights are to be found in the character of societal relations between men and women. how can you have a democracy at the national level if you have no shared decision-making power within the household? how is anyone in a society going to understand democracy is what they see is autocracy within each household? it will not happen. and so these are things that are often not spoken of but our critical to speak of. and so without further ado, i think it means that one of the most important discussions we can have is the discussion that we're going to have today. so i am thrilled to be a part of it, and let's begin. let's go ahead and begin. thank you very much.

shuster: the nationally significant freight and highway projects program is the core reform, a new program in this bill. it's fundamental to this bill's redirecting us back to our national interests on these freight corridors and these major projects, allowing a group of smaller -- small projects to count towards the $100 million threshold for eligibility would actually destroy the very purpose of the program. to provide funding for large-scale projects, that's large-scale projects that states cannot fund with their formula dollars that they get. in our bill it's very different than what the senate bill does. the senate bill puts it out in formula. that's not going to solve the problem. this program will solve some of those problems that states cannot fund with again, the money that's coming from their formulas. many bridge projects, for example, fall into this category, as do large highway expansion projects. the only exception is a 10% set-aside for smaller freight projects with an impact on interstate commerce. again, the nationally significant freight and highway projects program in th

organization that is very secretive of who will fund about the beating deaths is the nra, the national restaurant association. one of the things that i talk about is the campaign that so that industry rand that may still be going on because there were websites and now they are gone. but this was a campaign to sell rather than water. so this is profitable if not coming out of bottles or cans and as a rule of thumb it cost about $0.2 an ounce city by a 20-ounce soda the you pay a lot more than $0.40 it is staggering. so of course, they would be opposed to any discussion about drinking less so now. >> i've actually scholar in your department talking about these positive and responsible things coca-cola is doing, i cannot help but wonder if it is cheaper and easier than to change the business model that benefits us in the long run? >> sales are down. let me say that again. it is more than 15 or 20 years ago. seriously. we live in a corporate environment where the buzzword is growth. coca-cola made money last year from selling the small cans because they can charge more. so to promote those
