Travis Miller jokes about his work as a member of the Texas Governor's Drought Preparedness Council and as the "go-to-guy" for media questions about drought and wildfire.
"I've done a good job with this drought," he says, tongue tucked firmly in his cheek.
He also knows that drought is a serious concern as a good part of the state remains dry going into or well into planting season.
Miller, AgriLife Extension agronomist, says Central and North Texas have been blessed with ample rain since last fall and are poised to make "wheat like we've not seen in 15 years. But wheat in West Texas looks bad."
Much of the South Plains and some areas in South Texas are still dry as well. It's more of the same pattern that's persisted for more than a decade, Miller says. "Since 2000, it's been dry about every other year. We hear a lot of discussion about climate change, and this seems like change."
But it's not particularly new, he says. "If we look back 110 years, we can see that we had more drought before 1960 than we've had after 1960."
He says records show severe drought in 1915 and 1918 and then in the 1940s and 1950s.
"If you live in Texas you will deal with drought," he says. "We adjust. Texas farmers and ranchers know that drought is part of it."
He says problems arise when after four or five years of good moisture farmers "get lulled" and plant one crop where they should plant something else. "A lot of corn has moved into grain sorghum areas. Sorghum is better suited to iffy conditions. In a good year, corn will produce better, but I think people miss a bet on (not planting) sorghum. Cotton is also a good bet."
But he's philosophical about farmer options. "A grower has to follow the formula that works best for him," he says. "But even with the best corn technology, I see opportunities for sorghum."
He says new corn genetics that offer some drought tolerance have helped. Brent Bean, a Texas AgriLife Agronomist at Amarillo, Miller says, has shown as much as a 10-bushel per acre advantage with those drought-tolerant hybrids compared to other corn hybrids—in dry conditions.
Miller is somewhat hopeful that weather patterns will change. Central and North Texas have emerged from drought status and the High Plains area has received some rainfall in the past few weeks.
"But the High Plains may be set up for another (dry) year," he says. Climatologists give an equal chance that conditions will be above average or below average for moisture. "La Nina has transitioned to a neutral status," he says.
More rain needed
But meager rains so far have not recharged the soil profile as much as farmers need to plant with confidence that the crop will emerge and grow off well. He says Lamb, Bailey and Parmer Counties are "some of the (driest) in the Panhandle.
"But farmers will plant. They have to in order to satisfy insurance requirements. They all prefer to make a crop."
He says crop insurance kept a lot of Texas farmers in business after last year's historic drought. "And now we have pressure at the federal level to reduce funding for crop insurance. That would be a big mistake. Direct payments will be gone," he concedes, "but crop insurance is not a waste of money."
He says farmers can only insure 65 percent to 70 percent of their typical crop yield. "They don't make any money on crop insurance," he says. "They just hope to pay off their debt. I don't know of any farmer who can make a 30 percent profit on an investment."
He says cutting conservation programs would also be a bad idea. "You want to see the sky turn dark? That would have happened last year without good conservation programs. The Conservation Reserve Program was good for marginal land that was iffy for row crops. It did well in trees and grass and increased wildlife habitat."
Miller says last year's record-setting drought may have done some good by reminding people that water is not as plentiful as they might like to think. "No one has ever seen a drought like that," he says. "That's the worst single-year drought on record. It might not be as bad as the multiple-year droughts of the 50s but it may be moving that way."
He says that severe, long-term dry spell "may have gotten some folks' attention and made them realize that water conservation is important. We need to get back to understanding that water is a more precious commodity than oil."
The 2011 drought affected more than agriculture. "Well over 1,000 of 4,688 water systems (in Texas) were at some stage of drought watch," he says. Some towns were running out of water.
He says water districts have begun to impose more strict regulations on users, including agriculture. "Each of these districts has a different resource to look after," Miller says. "Some have a resupplying aquifer; others do not. Some are either static or declining, and district boards have to look at maintaining that resource."
He says most of us "have not had to limit what we can do with water. We may have to re-think that."
He says San Antonio has done some unique and innovative things to conserve water. "And, in South Australia, they have no groundwater and no well water. They use all rain water and get by on less than 30 gallons a day per person. So there are things we can do."
He also acknowledges that governments and society have "to realize the importance of agriculture food and fiber production."
He says agriculture also must realize the need for more efficient irrigation. "For instance, subsurface drip irrigation in the High Plains and into Southwest Texas may offer 97 percent to 98 percent water use efficiency. That's about as good as it gets."
A Texas native, Miller says he remembers when folks could use all the water they wanted to in West Texas. "Now we see a lot of those wells that can't produce enough water. It's a limited resource so we have to use it wisely."
Changes are coming
He says in 25 years crop production on the Texas High Plains will be different—different crops or different production systems. Things have already changed. "In some areas, we still have enough water to grow corn but it's less than we had 10 years ago," he says. "A lot of farmers have switched from corn to cotton. We may see another step, from irrigated cotton to dryland production, pasture or wheat.
"We could have too little water to grow the crops we once did. Dairies and feedlots also use a lot of water. And they need forage."
Corn comes in from the Midwest, Miller says, but hauling in silage would be an expensive nightmare. "Silage needs to be grown locally."
He says corn silage may phase into sorghum silage, which takes about 60 percent as much water.
He's a bit cautious about the pending planting season for the High Plains, despite recent rain events. "We don't want to go into a growing season with a dry soil profile," he says. "We can't catch up."
He says Southern Plains cotton farmers have until May to begin planting. "But grain needs to go in soon. Farmers can wait until late June to pant sorghum but they can't delay corn."
Miller says Texas farmers and ranchers are a tough lot, and Texas Research and Extension programs will continue to work with them to develop new systems and new crop options to overcome the harsh growing conditions they often face.
"We will struggle to find answers," he says.

Giant Salvinia Moves Deeper into Toledo Bend Reservoir
Runoff from recent rains flushes plants into main lake.
ATHENS, Texas — A ribbon of giant salvinia and water hyacinth 200 to 300 yards wide and more than a mile long is floating down the middle of Toledo Bend Reservoir.
"Runoff from the recent rains flushed the plants out of shallow areas on the upper portion of the reservoir that normally act as nursery areas and are inaccessible to most conventional treatment, and they are moving south," said Howard Elder, aquatic vegetation biologist for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). "It's what we feared would happen."
Being located in the open reservoir actually makes the plants more accessible to spraying with herbicides.
Elder is moving as quickly as possible to survey the extent of the infestation and acquire sufficient herbicide to treat the area. "We use glyphosate, which is the safest herbicide we can use," he said. "However, we will not treat any location that is within two miles of an intake for a potable water supply."
Elder is treating the situation as an emergency and will hire a contractor to apply the herbicide by helicopter as soon as possible.
"It usually takes about two weeks for effects of treatment to become readily visible," he said. "We do want the public and all the water suppliers who take water from the lake to be aware of this action."
Elder can be reached at (409) 384-9965.

Environmental Technology
Environmental technology encompasses any application of technology to environmental problems, so it includes hazardous waste clean-up, monitoring and treating pollution, and many other fields. Generally, these applications of technology strive to improve environmental quality by increasing efficiency and performance while reducing waste. There is a heavy emphasis on capturing pollutants, recycling and sustainable resource use.
Why do we need environmentally sustainable technology? "In the complex relationship between development and the environment, technology provides a link between human action and the natural resource base. Faced with limited global natural resources, the people of the world must seek to achieve more sustainable forms of development," states the U.N. Environmental Programme website. In other words, developing efficient ways of dealing with resource use and waste is a crucial step in protecting the environment and human health. People working in the environmental technology field are making important contributions to the future of our planet.
The Academic Requirements
Students will take courses in federal and state environmental regulations, health and safety issues, environmental chemistry and biology, and geology and hydrology. Specifically, students may take classes in soil, air and water sampling and the remediation technologies used to clean up damaged sites. Many programs include classes in remote sensing and geographic information systems, since these modern technologies are used extensively.
Most environmental technology programs are two-year associate's degree programs, so the focus is less academic and more skills-oriented. Two-year colleges focus on putting students out into the workforce, so students gain the skills to be able to work right away. Other ET programs are offered to graduate or post-graduate students to help supplement scientific, environmental or engineering knowledge to focus on environmental issues. These can be certificate programs or full master's programs.
There are many different avenues for obtaining education in environmental technology. The Bureau of Labor reminds us that, "most employers prefer to hire someone with at least a 2-year associate degree in engineering technology. Training is available at technical institutes, community colleges, extension divisions of colleges and universities, public and private vocational-technical schools, and the Armed Forces." There are also a number of distance-learning programs available.
Here are some courses that we've seen:
- Environmental Law and Regulations
- Microbiology
- Scientific Computer Applications
- Remediation Case Histories
- Geologic Sampling Protocols, Techniques and Methods
- Health and Safety Strategies and Requirements
- Project Management
- Intermediate Sanitary Chemistry
- Hazardous Materials Management
- Wastewater Treatment
- Small Utility Management and Supervision
- Geotechnical Sampling & Instrumentation
- Maps, Surveys & GIS
- Water Rules and Regulations
- Applied Analytical Chemistry
Professional Outlook
The type of job a graduate can get varies widely, based on what their program's focus was and whether they obtained a certificate, associate's degree, or a bachelor's degree. Graduates with a two-year degree will get an entry-level job in industry. Those with more advanced degrees can conduct research and field testing, or they can manage a company or teach.
The Bureau of Labor website says, "Environmental engineering technicians work closely with environmental engineers and scientists in developing methods and devices used in the prevention, control, or correction of environmental hazards. They inspect and maintain equipment affecting air pollution and recycling. Some inspect water and wastewater treatment systems to ensure that pollution control requirements are met." Most environmental technicians work 40 hours or more per week, in laboratories or offices of manufacturing or industrial plants. Some technicians may be exposed to hazards from equipment, chemicals or toxic materials.
Here are some job titles that we've seen, including some of the organizations that offer them, all of which included a requirement for experience in Environmental Technology:

Story highlights
- French engineering firm unveils plan to adorn Paris monument with 600,000 plants
- If given the go-ahead, "world's tallest tree" could absorb over 80 tons of CO2, says firm
- The temporary installation, which will cost $97 million, is likely to face opposition
- COMMENTS: Pipe-dream or true innovation? Tell us your thoughts below
An engineering firm has unveiled plans to turn the Eiffel Tower into a vast, tree-like monument by cladding its mesh iron body in over 600,000 plants.
The controversial proposal from Ginger -- a French company that specializes in ecological design projects -- would cost $97 million and remove 87.8 tons of carbon dioxide from the Paris skies, according to the company's calculations.
Ginger CEO Jean-Luc Schonebelen concedes that it is probably not the most efficient form of carbon sequestration, but says the idea -- which has so far received no official endorsement from Paris City Council -- could have profound symbolic value.
"We're told that within the next 30 years the world's population may reach nine billion, and that 80% of us will live in cities," says Schonebelen, referring to projections from the U.N. Population Division released earlier this year.
"With this in mind, we need to think about how we're going to start bringing nature back into the city landscape ... so this (proposal) is our call for action."
If Schonebelen has his way, thousands of hemp sacks brimming with soil and 48 varieties of seedlings would be fastened to "La dame de fer" -- or "the iron lady," the tower's French nickname -- by the end of next year.
Irrigated via a 12-ton grid of interconnected rubbing tubing, the plants would likely mature by 2014 and would be nurtured until their removal two years later.
"Of course we're not suggesting this be a permanent fixture, we're proposing this as a temporary installation -- just as Mr Eiffel did when he built the tower back in the 19th century," says Schonebelen.
Staff at Ginger have been developing the mechanics behind the proposal for the past 18 months. The company employs over 1,500 people and has a turnover of €230 million a year, according to Schonebelen.
Comment: Would you give them your support? Is the Ginger's Eiffel Tower tree a feasible innovation or a pretty but impractical pipe dream? Tell us you thoughts in the comments section below.
Since the Eiffel Tower opened during the 1889 World Fair, the 324-meter tall lattice monument has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world, with almost seven million paying visitors a year, according to La Societe d'Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel.
Parisians are quick to defend their city's architectural heritage but says Schonebelen, "they are also very concerned about the environment and I'm sure will come around to the idea."
Adorned in its new coat of living greenery, the tower would likely become a convenient new home for insects and birds. Schonebelen says they would be welcome guests and insists neither the foliage nor its accompanying inhabitants would obscure the view.
"We'd keep the viewing platforms clear," he says. "Our objective is to enhance the structure, not ruin it. We want to turn an emblem of the industrial past into a beacon of the sustainable future."
Schonebelen says that they have selected a variety of plants that can flourish at high altitude and will be performing a feasibility study in the coming week to test if the tower could withstand the significant additional load.
However, the company is yet to formally present its ideas to either the Paris City Council or SETE.
"This is a very serious proposal, from a serious company that has put a lot of time and resources into it," says Schonebelen. "We hope the Paris authorities will give us some of their time to listen to the idea."
So, what would you say in their shoes?

We're only a couple of weeks out from Super Bowl XLVII, and that means we need to get ready for the litany of car commercials automakers will shove down our throats in between the football action.
Not to be outdone by Mercedes-Benz's tapping of model Kate Upton for their ads, Toyota has found a spokeslady in the form of lovely actress Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny on The Big Bang Theory, a CBS sitcom I don't watch.
Unfortunately, the ad is lame, and it's for a car none of us care about: the new RAV4.
In it, we see Kaley walking around a city granting wishes in line with the lyrics of Skee-Lo's 1995 hit "I Wish." Relevant, Toyota. Relevant. It ends with her hopping into a RAV4 with a rabbit in a hat with a bat.

Dedicating a week-long festival to the humble oyster might seem a tough act to pull off. But Whitstable, now synonymous with the world's clammiest delicacy, more than manages, luring in tens of thousands of visitors each July. Of course it's not all about the bivalves – there's music, poetry, art and plenty of booze sloshing around – but it's rude to leave town without sampling the star of the show, cold, quivering and freshly "shucked" from its shell.
The festival's quirky timing, apart from promising half-decent weather, is a legacy of St James's Day (July 25), traditionally marked with a thanksgiving service on the beach in honour of the patron saint of, you guessed it, oysters.
As well as the oyster tasting (£4.50 for six), there's a giant farmers' market and beer festival, impromptu performance art (everything from sea shanties to comedy) and a crab-catching competition for the kids. Perhaps the highlight, though, is the oyster-eating contest where iron-stomached participants sacrifice their dignity by downing four oysters and half a pint of stout in the fastest time possible.
Whitstable Oyster Festival is held annually, starting on or near July 25. For exact dates see www.whitstableoysterfestival.com.
On paper, it doesn't look like the best business plan: hawking ice cream in the most infamously cold and damp of climates. Yet for hundreds of Italian immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century, the prospect of pushing a handcart up and down the mean streets of Britain's industrial cities was a more attractive option than the grinding rural poverty back home. Many gravitated to Glasgow and, with more than 300 shops operating by 1905 alone, ice-cream cones were to become an integral and much loved fixture of Scottish life.
Today there's only a few about, but they're well worth a visit. University Café, in the city's West End, has been open since 1918 and could win a prize for its vintage-kitsch window display alone. Just as treasured, and perhaps even more atmospheric, is Café D'Jaconelli in Maryhill, opened in 1924. With its seriously old-school frontage, boiled sweeties and glass door etching of sundae-with-smoking ashtray, it's become something of a city icon. Jaconelli's claims its ice cream as the best in the city – and they may just be right.
There remain few places more idyllic than the quay at Padstow to tuck into a mountainous portion of fish and chips. With the ocean so close, it's little surprise that seafood is the speciality: your fish might have been caught just hours before by the boats in view, or landed that very morning in nearby Falmouth or Newlyn. And pick up your fish supper from Stein's Fish and Chips, part of the ever-expanding portfolio of the area's best-known piscatorial magnate, and it's not just cod or haddock on the menu. On a typical day at Stein's quayside chippie there's also a choice of sea bream, hake, lemon sole and even monkfish.
Padstow and its environs are full of fabulous food – from pasty shops to delis, ice-cream parlours to gastropubs – but this chic little fishing village is best known for its high-class restaurants. The seeds for Padstow's much-lauded dining scene were planted when Stein opened his flagship Seafood Restaurant opened back in 1975. Arguably still Padstow's headliner, here you are treated to a seafood extravaganza – ranging from classic fruits de mer or lobster Thermidor to melt-in-the-mouth scallop, sea bass and salmon sashimi, and gorgeously messy Singapore chilli crab – in classy, modern but unpretentious surroundings.

Fans of Nick Park's amusing clay-based tales will know that toothy Wallace is an ardent cheese-lover, and his particular favourite is the deliciously crumbly, tangy Wensleydale. When he chose to highlight the cheese, Park was unaware that the Wensleydale Creamery, based in Hawes, deep in the Yorkshire Dales, was suffering such low sales that production of the cheese was close to suspension. PR played its part though, and with the creation of a special Wallace and Gromit-branded cheese, the Creamery's sales soared.
Located a couple of minutes' walk from the centre of the village, the Creamery includes a small museum outlining the history of the cheese, with charming reconstructions of milking parlours and a typical Yorkshire kitchen equipped with bygone cooking implements and a cosy hearth. The Wensleydale Creamery has – thanks to Kit Calvert's dogged determination and Nick Park's little clay friends – firmly established itself on the English cheese board.

Each spring, they arrive in their thousands, wriggling their way up through the rhynes and ditches that crisscross the Somerset Levels. It's taken a year to get here, the warm currents of the Gulf Stream carrying them some three thousand miles across the Atlantic from their breeding grounds in the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda. No one really knows why the European eel makes such a mammoth journey, only to return when fully mature, to spawn and die. In fact, not much is known at all about this mysterious creature, other than they don't half taste good.
Elvers (baby eels) have been a central Somerset delicacy for hundreds of years: covered in flour and deep-fried, cooked with bacon and served in an omelette or, best of all, smoked. At Brown & Forrest, a family-run smokery in the heart of the Levels, they've been hand-smoking eels for over thirty years, using a system that goes back a hundred. The coppery-skinned creatures are whipped out of the smokery, aromatic clouds billowing about them, and served fresh on rye bread at the on-site restaurant, or vacuum-packed for the deli next door. Add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of pepper (or, for the smoked-eel aficionado, a dash of horseradish), but not too much – you still want to taste the briny tang of the Sargasso Sea.
Brown & Forrest is at Bowden Farm Smokery, Hambridge, Somerset 01458/250875, www.smokedeel.co.uk.
A dozen pairs of shining, ruby-red eyes peer out from among the neat rows of creamy chocolate éclairs, glistening fruit tarts and crumbly Yorkshire shortbread. On closer inspection, the eyes turn out to be sticky, glacé cherries atop a large raisin bun and are accompanied by a toothy, blanched almond grin. This cheeky face belongs to the celebrated Fat Rascal, the best-known and arguably most delicious cake served up at Harrogate's – and Yorkshire's – most famous tearooms, Bettys. A cross between a rock bun and a scone, the Rascal is made with a tempting concoction of dried fruit, nutmeg, cinnamon, orange and lemon zest. Washed down with a steaming cup of tea, it's the ultimate teatime treat.
Bettys' flagship branch is at 1 Parliament St, Harrogate, North Yorkshire Details can be found at www.bettys.co.uk.
It's 11am on Saturday morning at the E Pellicci café on Bethnal Green Road, and everyone is bloody hungry. There's a queue out the door, and ravenous customers poke their heads in periodically, desperate for an available seat. Once you've bagged one, wave for the menu of Italian and British staples. Above your head, the staff banter oscillates between Cockney and Italian, and customers clamour to order over the bilingual bellows. For an idea of those who've dined here before you, look up at the signed framed photos of EastEnders actors dotting the walls.
Pellicci's breakfast menu features all the permutations of a classic full English, plus loads of extras for a build-your-own feast. Unlike mediocre greasy spoons with their limp, oily no. 3 breakfasts, what you get here is of superior quality, and service comes extra-friendly with a healthy dose of mickey-taking. If the fry-up doesn't appeal, there's plenty more to choose from: steak pies, fish and chip specials, scampi and more. You may need to lie down for an hour afterwards, and you probably won't be on speaking terms with your arteries, but yes, it is the finest breakfast in London.

It's fair to say that twenty years ago, the only place you'd expect to see a squirrel was in the park, and that bone marrow was something fit only for the dog. Nose-to-tail eating would have been thought something from the Middle Ages.
Fergus Henderson changed all that when he opened St John on the site of a former smokehouse in then unfashionable Farringdon, just north of the City of London. The design for the new restaurant was simple: rickety wooden tables and plain white walls, in keeping with the building's former role. And the cooking was even simpler. No garnishes, sauces or reductions here – instead, the emphasis was on impeccably sourced British ingredients served without fanfare. Great British dishes – smoked eel, saddle of hare, pork belly – all made a triumphant return to the menu.
What really set tongues wagging, though, was Fergus's conviction that virtually all parts of an animal could – and should – be consumed, a return to the thrifty rural traditions of Britain's past. A starter of chitterlings or rolled pig spleen, for example, could be followed by blood cakes and fried eggs or ox heart and carrots – with squirrel (it's like tender wild rabbit) making a seasonal appearance.
Over fifteen years on, and St John has gone from strength to strength, with a sister branch, Bread and Wine, in Spitalfields and a hotel in the West End.

The Isle of Wight Garlic Festival, which makes a corner of the island hum with the sour, buttery pong of garlic for two days every August, began as a local school fundraiser in the 1980s. Nowadays it's a much bigger deal, attracting around 20,000 visitors a year and giving locals a chance to showcase the island's best produce – including great husk-covered bulbs of garlic that taste so good, even the French have started importing them.
There are stalls selling tongue-tingling garlic beer, sickly-sweet garlic fudge and even sugary garlic ice cream. But you can also get your chops around dishes that make use of the stinky allium in much more conventional ways. From striped blue and white tipis, apron-clad vendors serve up barbecued ears of sweetcorn, smothered in butter and infused with delicate garlic. Everywhere you look, there are bundles of purpley-white cloves waiting to be thrown into pots and pans of deliciously piquant sauces. A warning though: even if you only sample a few of the garlicky treats on offer, you're going to smell bad for at least twenty-four hours.
The Isle of Wight Garlic Festival (www.garlic-festival.co.uk) takes place every August at Fighting Cocks Crossroads, Bathingbourne Lane, Sandown.

Cornwall's gastronomic reputation thrives on the bounty of the sea, but the county's most famous food export was, for centuries, taken deep into the bowels of the earth. The pasty (or oggy in the Cornish dialect) was the staple lunch of tin miners, who could hold the crimped crust in their grubby hands and throw that part away after eating the filling, which used to consist of meat and veg on one side and jam on the other.
Three million of these gut-busting snacks are made every week in Cornwall, though as any local will tell you, many of them ain't proper. To be considered genuine, it must be crimped to one side rather than on top, must have no filling other than chuck steak, sliced potato, onion and swede, and these ingredients must be raw prior to baking. Purists roll their eyes at carrots and such abominations as lamb and mint.
Perhaps the best place to make a pilgrimage is Ann's Pasties, a small shop in The Lizard that made its name when it was featured on Rick Stein's TV series Food Heroes.
Ann's Pasties, Sunny Corner, 3 Beacon Terrace, The Lizard, Cornwall 01326/290889, www.annspasties.co.uk. The shop opens at 9am Mon-Sat (closed Mon Nov-Easter) and shuts when they sell the last pasty.
There's strong evidence to suggest that Glasgow's signature dish, the deep-fried Mars bar, started off predominantly as an urban myth, but the concept intrigued so many it became a widespread reality. Either way, there's no escaping the fact that the combination of soft, gooey chocolatey caramel and slightly savoury crisp exterior is horribly compelling – though you wouldn't want a second (and, let's face it, you'll struggle to finish a first). Kings Café, just off Sauchiehall Street's main drinking drag, is a proud purveyor – though in truth, takeaways throughout the city will usually deep-fry any confectionery you like for a modestly negotiated fee.
Battered Creme eggs are also prized, but their popularity – and that of the deep-fried Mars bar – was preceded by that of the deep-fried pizza, a dubious by-product of Glasgow's sizeable Italian population – at least the healthy Mediterranean diet is making inroads somehow. For a "pizza supper" a whole or half portion is typically dunked in oil without batter (accompanied of course by Irn-Bru), but Pizza Crolla are renowned for their less health-conscious variation, the battered Pizza Crunch. If this isn't quite enough to soak up the booze, you can always cut the pizza in half and fill it with chips – hey presto, a pizza and chip sandwich. Tastiest of all, however, and undisputed king of all Glaswegian battered dishes, is the deep-fried haggis.
Just a couple of kilometres southeast of Birmingham city centre lies a microcosm of north Indian and Pakistani life. Clothes shops stock saris, salwar kameezes and pashminas; halal butchers' stand beside grocers' with Asian fruit, vegetables and spices; jewellers sell elaborate gold creations by the weight, while other stores offer a bewildering array of multicoloured beads and bangles. Locals switch between Urdu and Punjabi and English – though whichever language is spoken a distinct Brummie twang remains. Above all, the air is thick with intoxicating aromas.
This area, centred on three roads – Ladypool Road, Stoney Lane and Stratford Road – is home to something just as iconic to Birmingham as the Bullring and the Rotunda: the balti. Invented by the area's Pakistani and Kashmiri community in the mid-1970s, balti is best thought of as a style of cooking, rather than a single dish. (There is some disagreement about the origins of the name: balti means "bucket" or "cooking utensil" in Hindi and Punjabi, though there is also a region of north Indian and Pakistan called Baltistan.)
The Balti Triangle, as it's been dubbed, has around a dozen authentic balti restaurants (as well as many traditional Indian restaurants): among the best are Punjab Palace, Al Frash and Shabab, all on Ladypool Road, and Shahi Nan Kebab House on Stratford Road. There's a wide range of baltis on offer (most costing around £6), though two dishes really stand out: chicken and mushroom, and lamb and aubergine.

Where should you go for the best fish and chips in Britain? Yorkshire and Lancashire both lay claim to the title, but for both sheer quantity of choice and the local pride taken in serving the finest haddock and chips (cod is most definitely a southern thing), it's the northwest that has the edge. Lancashire has more chippies than anywhere else in the UK, and there's a strong claim that the county is home to the first ever fish and chip shop, opened on the site of Oldham's Tommyfield Market in 1863.
That original chippie is today long gone, and these days it's Blackpool's sea air that provides the ideal atmosphere for devouring a wrapped paper bag full of deep-fried goodness. Standout among the resort's chippies is Seniors, where the fish is bought fresh each morning from nearby Fleetwood's fish market, and delicacies including hake and turbot are often on offer alongside the standard choices.
If Blackpool feels a little too bellicose an environment for sampling the perfect fish and chips, then head a few miles south to the tiny village of Lytham, where Whelan's has been frequented by the likes of Rick Stein, who loved this bijou gem so much he wrote about it in his Seafood Lovers Guide.
Perhaps the most revered of all the northwest's chippies, though, can be found up the coast in the sleepy county town of Lancaster. Here lies Hodgson's, proud recipient of a garland of awards including the National Federation of Fryers' "Fish and Chip Shop of the Year". Like all the best chip shops in this area, you'll struggle to find gravy, spring rolls or microwaved pies. What you will find is an authentic slice of northern hospitality and gargantuan portions.

The State Bond Commission approved $350,000 in tax bonds Thursday to help expand the Regional Military Museum in Houma.
The State Bond Commission approved $350,000 in tax bonds Thursday to help expand the Regional Military Museum in Houma.
A new museum building will be constructed next door to the existing one on Barrow Street. A completion date hasn't been set.
The new building will add 12,000 square feet to the museum and provide better displays and space for group functions.
The existing museum, which is at capacity, has more than 4,000 artifacts that range from President Dwight Eisenhower's Air Force One plane to various uniforms, photos, medals, vehicles and weapons, many from local veterans.
Much of that is in storage, including a true-to-size World War II Avenger Torpedo Bomber model that hung inside the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans for about nine years.
"It's pretty crowded, and we have other artifacts that are being stored in other buildings, and we need to get them on display," said Ken Royston, president of the Terrebonne Veterans Memorial District. "To do that, we need to put them in a new museum building."
C.J. Christ, museum founder and veterans district board member, said the new building will provide for a much-needed expansion.
"We are very happy," Christ said of the commission's bond approval. "This will enable us to do what we set out to do years ago, and that is to build this tremendous museum."
Gulf South Engineers Associates of Houma will construct the building, which is expected to be three stories tall.
The mostly glass-and-steel structure will be built in two phases and cost roughly $3 million.
Phase 1, the front half of the building, will be an open atrium allowing for large exhibits and group functions. Phase 2, the rear of the building, will contain three levels to provide space for small artifact displays, a revamped and expanded library, and meeting rooms.
Money for the new building comes from the Terrebonne Parish Veterans Memorial District tax collections.
In November 2010, voters approved the property tax that will allow the district to collect about $3.8 million over a decade.
For the owner of a $100,000 home, the half-mill veterans-district tax costs $1.25 annually. The tax costs the owner of a $250,000 house $8.75 annually, and the owner of a $500,000 house pays $21.25 annually. This takes into account the first $75,000 of a property's value being tax exempt.
The old museum will serve as more of a research facility on military topics — mostly Houma oriented — such as Houma's Naval Blimp Base during World War II and other war events in the Gulf of Mexico.
Christ said he is grateful for the support from the veterans district and the community.

WHAT if the president of the United States is not constitutionally eligible to serve? Is it possible that a straightforward criterion was overlooked during a long, grueling, expensive campaign? Why are so many questions about something so simple still going unanswered? "A Question Of Eligibility" goes where no other documentary has dared to go in seeking the answers to those questions, including one that millions of Americans are asking: "Why won't Barack Obama release publicly the long-form birth certificate he claims to have from the state of Hawaii?"
In this video, you will hear from four experts on the subject: Dr. Jerome Corsi, author of the New York Times No. 1 bestseller "The Obama Nation"; Orly Taitz, the Southern California lawyer who has led the legal fight to secure the evidence of Barack Obama's eligibility; Alan Keyes, a third-party presidential candidate in 2008 and the man who challenged Obama for the Illinois U.S. Senate seat that served as a springboard to his presidential ambitions; and Janet Porter, radio talk-show host and political activist who has championed the constitutional issue.

Executive Producer: Joseph Farah
Interviewees: Dr. Jerome Corsi, Orly Taitz, Alan Keyes and Janet Porter
The remaining credits for the production of this film are being withheld at the request of the filmmakers. They fear reprisals from their government.

Live-in-stock inventory
Low Price Guarantee
Since EBC Brakes launched its sport range in 1997
EBC Greenstuff has sold well over 3 million sets of
performance automotive brakes all over the world and has become the
number one selling EBC sport pad.
Appreciated by drivers of cars up to 200 BHP year
2009 sees the launch of the 9th version of EBC 2000
series Greenstuff which has once again pushed the performance
barriers of organic friction materials. The latest version of
Greenstuff is a deliberately softer compound to improve pedal feel
on lighter cars at lower speeds. This resulted in a medium dust
material with good lifetime and minimal rotor wear.
Many drivers of lighters cars and kit cars have used Greenstuff
2000 series with success in race use and tests at the
UK MIRA Motor Vehicle Research Institute
have shown a version of Greenstuff to stop a car almost 20 feet
quicker than original parts on a popular hot hatch braking from 60
MPH offering a huge 15% brake improvement.
Designed for premium street driving offering better brake effect
up to 600C (1100F). EBC Greenstuff 2000 has a high
initial brake effect and gives drivers confidence from first
application of the brake pedal. There is no such thing as a
NO DUST pad. The very nature of how a
brake works requires that some dust be generated to avoid rotor
vibration (shimmying). The EBC pad creates less dust
and dust is more easily washed off than most. All pads create more
dust as they are bedding in especially if rotors are worn. Nominal
friction coefficient 0.55. For heavier faster cars and vehicles
above 200bhp we strongly recommend Redstuff which DOES
offer much less dust.

Rao, Ph.D., vice president of inpatient operations and compliance at the National Rehabilitation Hospital, at its 10th anniversary celebration on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013, at 6:30 p.m. The invitation-only event will be held at the LCC's headquarters in Belvedere Square in north Baltimore. Rao will be recognized for his decades of commitment to advancing health and human services. "Dr. Rao's tremendous contributions to pedagogical and clinical innovations in the services we offer make him the ideal person to honor during such an important milestone for the Clinical Centers," said Janet Simon Schreck, M.S., CCC-SLP, executive director of LCC. "Our devotion to wellness in every aspect – from wellness of an individual or a family, to wellness of the community as a whole – mirrors his commitment to pioneer advances in valuable care that has improved lives across the country." In addition to his position at the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, D.C., Rao is a visiting professor at the University of Maryland and a certified professional in healthcare quality and a certified healthcare executive. He is a former affiliate faculty member of speech-language pathology at Loyola, and he is also a former president of the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA), the Maryland Speech and Hearing Association, the Maryland Board of Examiners, and the D.C. Association for Healthcare Quality.

Product Description
The Five Great Shinobi Countries (忍び五大国, Shinobi Godaikoku, English TV: Five Great Shinobi Nations) are the five largest countries and the main focus of the Naruto series. These countries are led by governmental leaders, known as the daimyō, who are in charge of ruling their individual nations solely through a monarch-like government. These countries are divided equally on an unknown continent to create balance in the shinobi world. They are the Land of Earth in the Northwest, the Land of Lightning in the Northeast, the Land of Water in the East, the Land of Wind in the Southwest, and the Land of Fire in the centre. The countries are named after the dominant chakra nature of each of the areas.[1][2]
These superpowers are the major players in the politics and trade between the shinobi nations. They are the most powerful of all nations and each has an extremely powerful shinobi village. The Land of Earth has Iwagakure, the Land of Lightning has Kumogakure, the Land of Water has Kirigakure, the Land of Wind has Sunagakure, and the Land of Fire has Konohagakure. These five villages are the only ones to have a Kage as the village head.
Although the Five Great Shinobi Countries are equal enough in power and military strength to create a fairly stable balance of power, the Land of Fire is considered the most powerful and influential. Similarly, the Land of Fire's shinobi village, Konohagakure, is considered the most powerful of all shinobi villages and Konoha's Hokage has been considered to be the pinnacle of the shinobi world. However, after the damage done to Konoha from both Orochimaru's Konoha Crush and Pain's Assault, Kumogakure has supplanted Konoha as the most powerful of the five villages.

Biochemistry & Biophysics
UNC-Chapel Hill
Cancer Cell Biology
Area of interest
1. Cancer and stem cell cycle control by CDK inhibitors
Cell cycle progression is primarily controlled by cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). The activity of CDKs is controlled by two families of CDK inhibitors, the p21 and INK4 families, which link diverse cellular processes to cell cycle control. Our current research in this area is focused on three closely related issues: (1) Determining the function of INK4 genes in stem and progenitor cell cycle control and tumor suppression, (2) Determining the transcriptional regulation of INK4 genes, and (3) Determining how oncogenic signals and non-coding RNA epigenetically regulate the p15-ARF-p16 tumor suppressor gene clusters, which leads to the activation of both p53 and RB tumor suppression pathways. (Cell 71:505; Nature 366:701; Genes & Dev. 8:2939; Genes & Dev. 12:2899; Genes & Dev. 21:49; Cancer Cell 15:389).
2. Ubiquitin pathway and human diseases
Most, if not all, cellular processes, including control of the cell cycle and p53, are regulated by ubiquitin-mediated modification and degradation. The mechanisms targeting specific proteins for ubiquitylation, in most cases, are poorly understood. We discovered two RING finger proteins, ROC1 and ROC2, which constitute active ubiquitin ligases with members of the cullin family. We also discovered that Cullins 3 and 4 can assemble in vivo into as many as 200 and 100 distinct E3 ubiquitin ligases, respectively. Our current research in this area is focused on determining the substrates and mechanism of different cullin E3 ligases linked to human diseases. Specific projects include: (1) Elucidating the mechanisms controlling p53 and the genomic stability by the cytoplasmic CUL7 and CUL9 E3 ligases? (2) Elucidating the mechanism of CUL4 E3 ligases in epigenetic control and X-linked mental retardation. (3) Identifying critical substrates of CUL4 in G-protein couple receptor (GPCR) signaling and heart protection. (Cell 92:725; Mol. Cell 3:579; Science 292:1910; Mol. Cell 3:535; Mol. Cell 10:1511; Nat. Cell Biol. 5:1001; Nat. Cell Biol. 6:1003; Genes & Dev. 20:2949; Genes & Dev. 22:866; Mol Cell. 43:381).
3. Mechanism of metabolic genes and metabolites in cancer development
Altered metabolism (Warburg effect) is the first tumor phenotype identified and has been widely used in the clinic for tumor detection. Recent discovery of frequent mutations of metabolic enzymes in cancer has renewed interest in cancer metabolism. Our recent studies revealed a novel and broad regulation of metabolic enzymes by acetylation. We also discovered that the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), which is produced by the mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and accumulates to a high level in IDH-mutated tumors, acts as an antagonist of a-ketoglutarate (a-KG) to negatively regulate multiple a-KG-dependent dioxygenases, including both histone demethylases and TET family of DNA hydroxylases. Our current research in this area is focused on two major issues: (1) Establishing mouse models to determine the oncogenic effect of 2-HG, and (2) Determining the mechanism of metabolites in the epigenetic regulation and cancer development. (Science 324:261; Science 327:1000; Cancer Cell 19:17).

Feb. 17, 2010 -- Gas stoves may give off more harmful fumes than electric stoves when cooking meat.
The finding comes from a study in which steaks were pan-fried under conditions typical for a kitchen in a Western European restaurant.
Researchers fried 17 beef steaks, each 14 ounces, either with margarine or soybean oil, on gas or electric stoves.
They measured the amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ultrafine particles, and other potentially harmful substances in the breathing zones of the cooks.
Higher levels of PAHs, considered possible cancer-causing substances, were detected when the frying was done on a gas stove. And the peak concentration of ultrafine particles was greater when frying on a gas stove.
The researchers note that exposure to ultrafine particles from the air can cause worsening allergies and lung inflammation. They also note that the levels found in the study were under established safe ranges for both particles and PAHs.
They conclude that "exposure to cooking fumes should be reduced as much as possible."
Though other factors are involved in production of fumes from cooking, they say that "frying on a gas stove instead of an electric stove causes increased occupational exposure to some of the components in cooking fumes which may cause adverse health effects."
The study is published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine.

Algaeus, the first plug-in hybrid vehicle to cross the U.S. on fuel containing a blend of algae-based fuel, finishes its cross-country tour today in New York City. The event kicks of the nationwide premiere of FUEL, a Sundance Film Festival award winning documentary addressing the country's reliance on foreign oil, but also suggesting solutions. To view a trailer, visit www.thefuelfilm.com.
The vehicle, fueled by an algae-blend product developed by Sapphire Energy, San Diego, CA, gets 150 miles per gallon. It is based on a 2008 Toyota Prius that has been equipped with an added battery pack, a plug and an advanced energy management system. The engine has not been modified.
Sapphire Energy has attracted the likes of Bill Gates, who has invested in the company.
Entrepreneurs and researchers are working to developed algae strains that can be grown and harvested cheaply and then converted into fuel. In an article this week in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2009/09/17/17greenwire-algae-as-fuel-of-the-future-faces-great-expect-71147.html), Stephen Mayfield, one of the founders of Sapphire Energy and head of the Mayfield Lab at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego, said that, currently, algae fuel costs about $10 per gallon to make now. He is confident, however, that the cost can be brought down to compete with gasoline.
Mayfield has brought together other algae researchers in a consortium called the San Diego Center for Algae Biotechnology (http://algae.ucsd.edu), which has just applied for a Department of Energy grant that would provide $50 million over three years. SD-CAB has teamed up with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, University of Nebraska, John Hopkins University, Rutgers University, Princeton University, Cornell University, University of California-Davis and Brooklyn College in New York on this application.
Winning this grant could also attract significant contributions from several corporate partners.
Several other players in the algae business have been discussing the economics of algae-based fuel commercialization this week at the National Algae Association's (www.nationalalgaeassociation.com) conference in Houston, TX.

"Pride and Passion: The African American Baseball Experience" Online Site Support Notebook
Exhibitions may be displayed in a gallery or other open area in the library. No ALA exhibition is to be displayed outdoors or in a tent or other temporary structure. Supervision by a guard or library staff member is required. It is preferable that someone be in the room with the exhibition at all times—they may be performing other duties as well as monitoring the exhibition. If that is not possible, we expect that a staff member or guard will walk around and monitor the exhibit periodically during the times it is open. We suggest doing this at least every 30 minutes during times of peak library use and every hour at less busy times.
