Kearney featured in latest issue of CA&ES Outlook magazine
The magazine notes that California is the top farm state in the nation in large part because of the agricultural productivity of the great Central Valley.
"The Central Valley is an economic powerhouse for many reasons," wrote Neal Van Alfen, professor in the Department of Plant Pathology at UC Davis. Van Alfen was dean of the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at the time of the magazine's publication. "Few places in the world have the combination of fertile and abundant farmland, extensive water storage and conveyance for irrigation, and ideal climate for growing food."
An article in the magazine outlines research projects underway at Kearney that are directed by UC Cooperative Extension specialists affiliated with CA&ES. A full page is devoted to a "farming revolution" building in the Central Valley with growers implementing conservation agriculture practices introduced by UC that reduce inputs, cut costs and have benefits for the soil resource.
The magazine includes profiles of UC Davis alums Bill and Carol Chandler and John Diener, all prominent farmers in the Central Valley.
"What we look for as farmers is a better relationship with the university system so they know what we need to help us in our business," Carol Chandler is quoted.
Diener has collaborated for many years with UCCE advisors and specialists. He expressed high praise for the late UCCE specialist Pete Christiansen, whose research at Kearney on Muscat Blac grapes led to a new clone for the industry.
"Had it not been for Pete's research at the Kearney field station, we'd still be having problems with rot in Muscat Blanc," Diener said.
The complete Outlook magazine can be downloaded from the CA&ES website in pdf format.

"There's never been a paper bag for drugs. Until now." When the department brass issued an ultimatum to commanders demanding that they effectively manage the crime rate in their districts, Western District's Major Colvin didn't re-classify felonies or juke the stats, as other district supervisors did. Instead, Colvin actually attempted to reduce the crime, and he did so by attempting something as outrageous as it was effective: he legalized drugs in his district. A career cop emboldened by his pending retirement, and he longed to make a real impact in the community. He ordered his troops to push all criminal elements into three largely uninhabited areas with the following caveat issued to dealers: if you're caught breaking the law anywhere outside of those three locales, there will be a harsh penalty.
It was a long-view strategy to centralize the drug elements of the city, letting them operate with impunity so long as they did the least damage possible to the surrounding neighborhoods, and so long as it achieved a remarkable reduction in crime throughout the district as a whole. But it was also untenable politically. When the plan was exposed by Councilman Carcetti - ambitious to discredit Mayor Royce and his administration - Colvin was made a scapegoat, relieved of duty and forced to retire at a lieutenant's grade. Even as he was destroyed by his innovation, Colvin still managed one last act of police work, passing along a vital tip that resulted in Avon Barksdale's arrest on weapons charges. He faces another impossible task when he's lured back to work by UM Professor David Parenti to be his partner in a school-based program at Tilghman Middle to target at-risk kids. Segregating some of the school's toughest discipline cases into their own special class, Colvin makes headway with some of the kids - and eventually takes in Namond Brice to raise him as his own.

SKU: cleveland-launcher-xl270-driver-2011
The Launcher XL270 is among the lightest drivers in golf – powered by the lightest shaft ever played on the PGA tour, the Miyazaki C. Kua 39 series. This means it's engineered for maximum head speed, but its traditionally-weighted 460cc clubhead also provides amazing forgiveness. The 270 is also available in a Draw version, with heel biased weighting and a slightly closed face for slice reduction. Players who have tested either version of the XL270 have experienced a real "Wow factor" due to the effortless distance achieved.

They've done it. Bank of America has been nationalized. It's government owned now:
Two weeks after closing its purchase of Merrill Lynch at the urging of U.S. regulators, the government cemented a deal at midnight Thursday to supply Bank of America with a fresh $20 billion capital injection and absorb as much as $98.2 billion in losses on toxic assets, according to people involved in the transaction.
The second lifeline brings the government's total stake in Bank of America to $45 billion and makes it the bank's largest shareholder, with a stake of about 6 percent.
In exchange for the new support, Bank of America will give the government an additional $4 billion stake in preferred stock. It has also agreed to cut its quarterly dividend to a penny, from 32 cents, and accept more stringent restrictions on executive pay.
When will the madness stop? It said nothing in the article about Congress. Is the Treasury just going around making financial deals with companies and giving them billions in loans? Where is that money coming from and who has authorized its use? Spending money is a power that belongs to the House of Representatives exclusively among the Federal government.
How is this happening? I would really like to know. Is there some legal explanation for this? Anyone who knows what twisted rationale is behind this kind of activity- please share in the comments below.
How many more companies are they going to nationalize before Americans wake up to the reality of what's happening to their country?
And an important discussion point: What can we do to protest this? Please share ideas in the comment thread. The most frustrating thing about this is that it's so difficult to directly face and protest. It's not like they are violating my rights directly. Instead they are violating everyone's rights and they are doing it in a very indirect manner. Any ideas you might have that are creative and inspiring, ideas that involve protest or civil disobedience, please share and discuss. We have got to take action!

No more blackouts? India's states show the way
Introduction by Kalpana Kochhar, chief economist of the South Asia Region
This summer, I wrote about keeping India's promise alive and realizing its great potential. As I said then, energy reforms are crucial if the country is to boost growth. In the wake of the world's largest blackout, which left 600 million people in India without power, two World Bank colleagues have written an op-ed about examples India can turn to, at home and abroad, as it seeks to tackle seemingly insurmountable power issues. Ashish Khanna is a senior energy specialist in the Bank's New Delhi office, and Jyoti Shukla is energy sector manager for the South Asia region. Here are excerpts from their article, which appeared in the Hindustan Times:

We have written a lot here about Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel. Joel Mowbray first brought Josh to the attention of our readers when Josh was running for reelection to the state legislature in the 2008 post "Star on the rise" (a post which hasn't made the transition to our new archives yet). Josh completed two terms in the Ohio legislature before winning the race for state treasurer last year. Josh narrowly yielded the spot for top vote-getter statewide to Rob Portman, who was elected to the Senate. As between the two, however, Josh's achievement might have been the more impressive in that he was running against an incumbent.
When Josh first ran for state representative, he wore out three pairs of brown leather shoes while knocking on 19,679 doors in his Democratic-leaning district. When Josh visited Minnesota in early 2010, he brought a pair of the worn-out shoes along as an exhibit. The shoes also featured in the Fox News Channel's 2009 profile of Josh (video below).
Josh is a Marine with two tours in Iraq to his credit. When he ran for reelection in 2008, Josh's Democratic opponent tried to make an issue of Josh's return to service during the surge. Joel Mowbray covered the story in "Iraq war vet's service attacked in Ohio campaign." Joel updated his column for us here.
Josh is now gearing up to undertake the race to unseat incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in the 2012 election. Joel Mowbray filed an update on Josh for us this past March. Earlier this month Josh chatted about the race with Hotline on Call's Sean Sullivan, who filed a report. In the new issue of the Weekly Standard out this morning, Kate Havard recaps the story to date in previewing the race against Brown.
As the Cleveland Plain Dealer noted last month in reporting Mandel's fundraising success — please consider contributing here — Josh hasn't formally announced his candidacy in the race. This promises to be one race that we will be returning to frequently as a barometer of 2012.

The memories of the explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in 2010 are still fresh. The death of 11 crewmen and the subsequent spilling of 5 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico have raised tough questions about domestic drilling. Can the safety assurances of oil companies be trusted? What risks are we and aren't we prepared to take in order to quench our thirst for oil? Oil companies are attempting to restore offshore drilling's reputation while simultaneously seeking access to environmentally sensitive Arctic regions.
Shell and Alaska
Prudhoe Bay Oil Field is a large oil field on Alaska's North Slope. It is the largest oil field in both the United States and in North America covering 213,543 acres and originally containing approximately 25 billion barrels of oil. The amount of recoverable oil in the field is more than double that of the next largest field in the United States, the East Texas oil field. The field is operated by BP (NYSE:BP) and partners are Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and ConocoPhillips (COP). Production from Prudhoe Bay and other North Slope oilfields has been in steady decline for years. It was down from 2 million barrels a day in 1988 to 560,000 barrels last year. Not only has that cut into local tax revenue, but continued declines could threaten the viability of the entire North Slope oil industry long before the oil actually runs out.
In late August 2012, Shell (RDS-A) was granted permission to begin preparatory work on its first well in the Arctic Ocean, moving the company a critical step forward on its tortuous quest to drill for oil off the coast of Alaska. Ken Salazar, the interior secretary, said that Shell could conduct the initial steps in drilling in the Chukchi Sea. Before sinking a single well, Shell will have already invested $4.5 billion in its Alaska project -- $2.3 billion assembling the necessary equipment and personnel on top of the $2.2 billion for the leases. The wells Shell will begin drilling in July are exploratory, not producing.
Typically, only one out of every two or three exploratory wells drilled strikes oil or natural gas. Such modest success rates make Shell's Arctic bet appear risky. However, Shell knows there is oil offshore in Alaska because it owned leases and drilled wells in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas in the 1980s and 1990s. It abandoned them only because the $20-a-barrel prices at the time did not justify the expense of further drilling.
"They would not have committed so many resources if they didn't believe this was a sure thing," says Eric van Oort, a former Shell engineer who is now a professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Texas.
One of Shell's strategies in recent years has been to deploy capital in politically stable regions where obstacles to oil and gas development are less daunting than in, say, Nigeria. Shell's Nigerian operations have been hindered by the hijacking of its oil rigs and the all-too-frequent kidnapping of its employees. In Alaska nobody is going to be brandishing guns at Shell workers. Nevertheless, the U.S. permitting process has proved more vexing than anyone at Shell headquarters in The Hague ever anticipated.
The prize that Shell is chasing is worth the ongoing frustration. We talk for an estimated 27 billion barrels of recoverable oil held in Alaska's outer-continental shelf plus another 130 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. At its peak, offshore oil production in the region could top 1.45 million barrels a day.
"Shell is making big bet there, but I think it's justified based on the geology," says Oswald Clint, an oil analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein and a geophysicist by training.
Shell says that it expects the 410 Alaskan offshore leases it holds in the Arctic to become the company's biggest source of crude oil globally within 10 to 20 years. The waters of the Chukchi Sea alone are believed to cover a store of up to 20 billion barrels of oil, well over 20 times the amount in the reserve .
Oil Spills in Alaska
[/b]Hopefully Shell will not be the third company whose exploration efforts will be associated with a major oil spill in Alaska. Let's check briefly the two oil spills in the history of Alaska:
1) The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 24, 1989, when an oil tanker bound for California struck Prince William Sound's Reef and spilled 260,000 to 750,000 barrels of crude oil. It is considered to be one of the most devastating human-caused environmental disasters. The Valdez spill was the largest ever in U.S. waters until the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in terms of volume released. However, Prince William Sound's remote location, accessible only by helicopter, plane, and boat, made government and industry response efforts difficult and severely taxed existing plans for response. The region is a shelter for salmon, sea otters, seals and seabirds. The oil, originally extracted at the Prudhoe Bay oil field eventually covered 1,300 miles of coastline and 11,000 square miles of ocean.
2) On March 2, 2006, a worker for BP Exploration (NYSE:BP) discovered a large oil spill in western Prudhoe Bay. Up to 267,000 US gallons were spilled, making it the largest oil spill on Alaska's north slope to date. The spill was attributed to a pipeline rupture. BP paid a $20 million fine for the spill. On Nov. 3, 2008, BP issued a response stating[b] that they "had no record that any concerns about corrosion leading to an oil transit line breach in the foreseeable future ever were communicated to BP." This spill raised a new round of questions from environmental groups about proposed plans to open more land in the region to oil drilling. The North Slope region of Alaska borders the Arctic Ocean and contains most of the state's petroleum reserves. It is also home to thousands of migratory birds, caribou, and other creatures.
The Arctic Failures
The region's challenges are formidable. They range from icebergs to storms, darkness and fierce cold. There is also no certainty of success as UK-listed explorer Cairn Energy (CNE) spent $1 billion exploring off Greenland and failed to find commercial volumes of oil.
The Pipeline Concern
Alaskan crude oil is transported south via the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and a 2011 report by the pipeline's operator, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., raised doubts about whether the pipeline can operate safely if throughputs continue to decline. The slower the oil moves through the pipeline, the greater the risk that water will separate from the crude and freeze at the bottom of the pipeline during winter, causing corrosion and cracks. This and other risks, according to the Alyeska report, "decrease confidence that the pipeline can be reliably operated at throughputs lower than 350,000 barrels per day."
In Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost city in the U.S., it's hard to tell where the land ends and the frozen Arctic Ocean begins. The average temperature stays below freezing for eight months of the year. "It's not looking good," former North Slope Borough Mayor Edward Itta says of the production declines. "And if there's no oil going through the pipeline, that oil infrastructure becomes worthless, and our tax base goes down." All of Barrow's infrastructure was built by oil money, and all of it is now maintained by oil money. "I started realizing," Itta continues, "that my biggest responsibility was maintaining the economic well-being of the borough, and that largely has to do with maintaining oil in the pipeline." The low-flow threat to the pipeline is a huge state issue as well, given that over 90% of Alaska's state revenue come from oil and gas.
New Infrastructure is Needed
Alaska needs infrastructure to handle increased shipping through the Bering Strait. It needs infrastructure to get drilling done on its outer continental shelf. And, it needs infrastructure to deal with what happens if drilling goes wrong. Some of those pieces are already falling into place.
At its newly opened aviation center in Deadhorse, Fairweather LLC is already servicing oil and gas companies looking at offshore projects. The center boasts a 20,000 square-foot hangar, 11,000 square feet of office space, 24 individual housing quarters, a dining facility, a medical clinic and medevac support center, and a shared office area that could transform into an incident command center in short order. The company is getting ready to expand its facility to include a warehouse, hangar, office space and housing for between 200 and 300 staff and crew members.
Most of the existing facility has already been rented out, just three months after it opened, said Fairweather business manager Lory Davey. So far, what she's hearing from oil and gas customers is that they want more of what the aviation center offers.
"You've had BP and Conoco Philips up here a long time, and they've got their own infrastructure," Davey said. "New companies like Repsol, Great Bear, Statoil, all these new entrants up there don't necessarily have the infrastructure built out. A lot of companies don't want to invest in long-term infrastructure in their exploration period. Our building has everything one of those companies would need to operate, under one roof."
Deadhorse Aviation Center is situated mainly to support oil and gas activity in the Beaufort, Davey said, but could also be a base for operations in the Chukchi. Unlike many northern communities in Alaska, it has the advantage of being on the road system, which makes it cheaper to bring in supplies.
It's hard to guess where new infrastructure is likely to go as the Arctic oil and gas rush touches the state. But even without taking into account the United States' drilling program, the increase in shipping traffic alone, due in part from neighboring countries' drilling, means Alaska will need new facilities.
"There's a serious concern over lack of infrastructure to support shipping," Stotts said. "There are no ports, no fueling facilities, no search and rescue. They need to put in communications systems. And of course there's always a concern over oil spills or heaven forbid a wreckage."
This year, the U.S. Coast Guard launched Arctic Shield, a mission meant to increase its presence in northern Alaska where more shipping means more chance of someone needing the Coast Guard's help. But the Coast Guard didn't have a port large enough to host its cutter in the north. In order to conduct its Spill Oil Response System exercise, USCG Alaska had to float a barge alongside the cutter, and move supplies and equipment between the two vessels as if the barge were a port.
"Our buoy tenders can go into Nome to get supplies and fuel," said USCG Alaska public affairs officer Veronica Colbath. "But our national security cutter, she has to go all the way to Dutch Harbor."
The Alaska Department of Transportation is already searching for the best place to put an Arctic port that would serve state and federal agencies, as well as commercial shipping traffic. The first round of research for its Alaska Deep Draft Arctic Ports Study started in 2012 and will conclude this November, with additional investigations continuing in 2013 and 2014. According to the Alaska DOT's web page for the project, the port's design, construction and operations would most likely be funded through a public-private partnership.
The Other Oil Majors
1) Exxon Mobil, ENI (E) of Italy and Norway's Statoil (STO) have also signed deals to explore for oil in Russia's Arctic waters, while others have secured licences to drill off Greenland.
2) Total (NYSE:TOT) has a number of natural gas ventures in the region, including a stake in the vast Shtokman field in Russia's Barents Sea. The Total chief executive said gas leaks were easier to deal with than oil spills. Total's Arctic projects are concentrated in Russia. As well as its stake in Shtokman, it has interests in a number of onshore developments, such as a big liquefied natural gas venture in Russia's far north known as Yamal LNG. It also operates a Siberian oilfield called Kharyaga.
Total says energy companies should not drill for crude in Arctic waters, marking the first time an oil major has publicly spoken out against offshore oil exploration in the region. Christophe de Margerie, Total's CEO, told the Financial Times the risk of an oil spill in such an environmentally sensitive area was simply too high. "Oil on Greenland would be a disaster," he said in an interview. "A leak would do too much damage to the image of the company."
3) Last spring, Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) announced it was selling substantially all of its Alaska assets to Hilcorp Energy's Alaska subsidiary, including 17 million barrels of oil equivalent of net proved reserves across 10 fields in Cook Inlet, plus natural gas storage and interests in natural gas pipeline transmission systems. Marathon estimated the deal at $375 million. Marathon Oil has been exploring for, and developing hydrocarbons in Alaska for more than 55 years, with development activities focused on natural gas in the Cook Inlet region.
Marathon's Alaska manager said that the decision to sell is based on a strategic focus on unconventional U.S. oil shales such as Eagle Ford in Texas, and Bakken in North Dakota. Marathon has about 62 employees in Alaska. Some will transfer elsewhere in the company, but he says most will be retained by Hilcorp.
The Drillers
Bermuda-based Nabors (NYSE:NBR) is one of the largest drilling companies in the state and it plans on selling its oil field service subsidiary, Peak Oilfield Services which is considered a non-core asset. Peak Oilfield Services specializes in rig moving, custom heavy hauling, crane and rigging services and oilfield transportation.
Involved in commercial drilling operations in the state since 1962, Nabors has a long and storied history in Alaska. Nabors Alaska drilled both the discovery well and the confirmation well in the giant Prudhoe Bay oilfield in 1968. It's also drilled the only well to date in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
It is worth noting that Nabors Alaska's CDR-2 rig was delivered to ConocoPhillips nearly three years ago at the Kuparuk River unit. It is the first purpose-built coiled tubing rig designed for the Arctic.
Nabors has also been known in Alaska for its tough, anti-union stances. In the mid-1990s, when it was the Slope's drilling powerhouse, a group of workers set out to unionize the company. It worked -- to an extent. They got the required cards in to the National Labor Relations Board and went on to win the election. But problems began during negotiations, according to Tim Sharp, who was a union organizer at the time and is now the manager Laborers Local 942 in Fairbanks. He says that Nabors dragged out the negotiations so long they ended up dropping the effort.
The switch is ON and the oil rush in Alaska has just started again. It remains to be seen whether this exploration effort will be beneficial for Shell and whether it will be combined with the lowest negative impact on the environment, the wildlife and the natives' lives.

Following the Obama Administration's groundbreaking letter to primary and some secondary schools clarifying who is protected under Title IX, courts and federal agencies have concluded that discrimination or harassment because a person is transgender or gender non-conforming constitute sex discrimination.
To help students understand and assert their rights in schools, the National Center for Transgender Equality is releasing Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Students: Your Rights at School, a new resource that outlines the laws protecting trans people in school and steps for bringing harassment and discrimination complaints to the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.
In the National Transgender Discrimination Survey, participants who expressed a transgender identity or gender nonconformity while in grades K-12 faced alarming obstacles:
- Seventy-eight percent reported harassment
- Thirty-five percent reported physical assault
- Twelve percent reported sexual violence
- Fifteen percent reported leaving school
- Fifty-one percent of participants who were harassed/bullied in school reported attempting suicide, compared to 1.6% of the general population
These shocking numbers show how important it is that all members of a school community work together to fight against discrimination. Anyone, including friends, family, and school staff, can file a complaint. Complaints do not need to be filed by the person(s) experiencing the bullying, harassment or discrimination. More details on filing complaints, as well as other options and resources, are available in our new guide.

Wine: When grapes turn into orange juice
Remember when you would ask which wines a restaurant offered and the waiter would reply, "Red, white and pink"? Nowadays, your options might include an unexpected color.
Orange wines are a small drop in the ocean of wine available to us, but they have become a significant niche, even earning their own subheading on restaurant lists. In D.C., for example, the Red Hen, Ripple and Dino offer orange wines as a distinct category.
These wines appeal to sommeliers and wine buffs eager to try something out of the ordinary. Because they are rare and unusual, they tend to be found more easily in restaurants than at retail.
What is orange wine, exactly? There's no precise definition, but essentially it is a white wine fermented and aged on the grape skins. Modern winemakers typically remove white grape juice from the skins immediately after pressing and before fermentation. That preserves bright fruit aromas and freshness. An orange wine is made using red wine techniques, leaving the juice on the grape skins to extract body and tannin. The wine can be left on its skins for weeks or months, maybe longer. It is invariably made without adding commercial yeasts or enzymes.
The result is a wine with a deep yellow, even orange, color, typically with the nutty, spicy flavors that come from significant exposure to oxygen during the aging process. People who make wine that way names such as Movia from Slovenia, Gravner and Radikon from northern Italy and Donkey and Goat from California have dedicated followings.
The wines are unusual, even bizarre far outside our normal paradigm for white wines. Yet they can be compellingly delicious.
"These wines were built for food," says Sebastian Zutant, co-owner and wine manager at the Red Hen in D.C. Zutant poured me a glass of Pheasant's Tears Rkatsiteli from the former Soviet republic of Georgia, a wine fermented and aged underground in large clay amphorae known as qvevri. The color was deep gold, the wine exotically perfumed, but not in the way some modern white wines resemble a produce display at the market, with fruit varieties lined up in succession. This was a fascinating fruit compote, the flavors cooked into a harmonious unity, spiced with earth and time.
Danny Fisher put orange wines on the list at Ripple, but they didn't sell until he gave them their own subheading. Then people started asking about them. For several months, the general manager featured Donkey and Goat Stone Crusher, a roussanne from California, by the glass. He sold one case per week until the winery ran out.
"It's bone-dry and people loved it," Fisher says. "We were suggesting it with all sorts of dishes."
Fisher cites the novelty of orange wines as a major part of their attraction. "As a wine buyer, I taste a lot of wines," he says. "It's all about picking out little intricacies about a wine that make it better than the last few, or why it's the best sauvignon blanc you've ever had. With these, it's an entirely different flavor profile that opens your mind and your palate."
Dean Gold, co-owner of Dino, has offered orange wines for years. He expresses frustration at their scarcity, even while celebrating them for being out of the mainstream.
"We live in a world of manufactured wine," Gold says. "It's an industrial product. It's hard to pick a bad wine, but it's also hard to pick an interesting wine. These wines offer true variety, true choices."
Gold describes orange wines in terms similar to those used by the "natural wine" movement, a broader category that emphasizes pre-industrial winemaking techniques. He groups them at the back of the Dino's list, under the heading "The Perfection of Imperfection."
Williams Corner Wine, an importer and distributor in Charlottesville, Va., carries many of the orange wines featured at Red Hen, Ripple and Dino.
"The wines offer a good bridge for certain foods where you wouldn't necessarily want an oaken white or a red," says Williams Corner manager Nicolas Mestre. "And the more diversity, the better. Red wine, white, sparkling, rose and orange wines: All these give us more choice and make our lives more interesting."

August 30, 2009: NIH Study Reveals New Genetic Culprit in Deadly Skin Cancer
Drawing on the power of DNA sequencing, National Institutes of Health researchers identify a new group of genetic mutations involved in the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma. This discovery is particularly encouraging because some of the mutations, which were found in nearly one-fifth of melanoma cases, reside in a gene already targeted by a drug approved for certain types of breast cancer.
August 27, 2009: Variants in Three Genes Account for Most Dog Coat Differences
Variants in just three genes acting in different combinations account for the wide range of coat textures seen in dogs - from the poodle's tight curls to the beagle's stick-straight fur. A team led by researchers from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, reports these findings in the advance online issue of the journal Science.
August 16, 2009: NIH-Funded Researchers Sequence Exomes of 12 People
In a pioneering effort that generated massive amounts of DNA sequence data from 12 people, a team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) demonstrates the feasibility and value of a new strategy for identifying relatively rare genetic variants that may cause or contribute to disease. The proof-of-concept findings were published online in the journal Nature.
July 16, 2009: Researchers Uncover Genetic Variants Linked to Blood Pressure In African-Americans
A team led by researchers from the National Institutes of Health today reports the discovery of five genetic variants related to blood pressure in African-Americans, findings that may provide new clues to treating and preventing hypertension.

Children born to women who have low blood levels of vitamin B12 shortly before and after conception may have an increased risk of a neural tube defect, according to an analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health, Trinity College Dublin, and the Health Research Board of Ireland. Women with the lowest B12 levels had 5 times the risk of having a child with a neural tube defect compared to women with the highest B12 levels.
February 18, 2009: Could Genetics Improve Warfarin Dosing?
In a large-scale study and an upcoming clinical trial, scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health address one of the trickiest issues in prescribing medicine - how to quickly optimize each patient's dosage of the common blood-thinning drug warfarin. Using information from thousands of genetically and geographically diverse patients, an international team of researchers, funded in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute, has developed a way to use genetic information from patients that could help doctors better determine optimal warfarin doses. The results of the analysis are published in an article titled "Warfarin Dosing Using Clinical and Pharmacogenetic Data" in the Feb. 19 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.
February 2, 2009: New Findings Raise Questions About Process Used to Identify Experimental Drug for Rare Genetic Diseases
A study by National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers reveals surprising new insights into the process used to initially identify an experimental drug now being tested in people with cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy. Researchers emphasized that the clinical implications of their findings are unclear, but said the results suggest more work may be needed to make sure the screening process to select promising agents was not flawed by its effects on a firefly enzyme used as a marker.

Northern Riffleshell
Translocation to the Big Darby Creek in Franklin County, Ohio
The northern riffleshell is an endangered freshwater mussel that was historically found in the Ohio River and Maumee River drainages. Dramatic population declines throughout its range are due to degraded water quality and physical changes to the rivers caused by channelization, dams, and road/bridge construction.
Reintroducing riffleshells to areas where the species has been extirpated, but suitable habitat now exists, and augmenting small populations are essential recovery tools because of the extent of the species' population decline and the fact that remaining populations are isolated from each other. Therefore, the Service took advantage of an opportunity to translocate riffleshells from Pennsylvania for reintroduction and augmentation in Ohio.
A bridge replacement project in the Allegheny River, in Pennsylvania was going to kill or harm over 200,000 federally endangered northern riffleshell mussels so a decision was made to translocate those mussels. When this bridge replacement project was first proposed, a northern riffleshell augmentation and reintroduction plan was already being developed in Ohio and a captive propagation facility was in place at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, in cooperation with Ohio State University. With the mussels available for translocation and a plan and facility in place, we decided to translocate mussels from Pennsylvania to augment the small remnant population in the Big Darby Creek as a pilot project to test translocation, captive rearing, and augmentation techniques.
The Northern Riffleshell translocation project took place in the Big Darby Creek within the Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, Franklin County, Ohio. A few individuals of the Northern Riffleshell remain in the Big Darby Creek in Franklin County, Ohio and suitable habitat still occurs within the Batelle County Metropark. More than 14 miles of the Big and Little Darby creeks run through the Metropark and it is the largest natural area park managed by the Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District. The Darby creeks are designated state and national scenic rivers and are noted nationally for their tremendous diversity and abundance of both aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals, including forty-three species of freshwater mussels.
Northern riffleshell mussels were collected by Enviroscience, Inc. on the Allegheny River, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, the Pennsylvania Ecological Services Field Office (USFWS). The 1,700 northern riffleshell mussels were transported to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium mussel facility where they were briefly quarantined and fitted with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags. PIT tags allow biologists to relocate individual mussels in the future and determine the conditions most conducive for long-term survival and reproductive success.
In June, 2008, the northern riffleshell mussels were released in Big Darby Creek. This was the largest single release of any federally listed species in the State of Ohio. Cooperators were the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium, Ohio State University, Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, Franklin County Metroparks, and the Darby Creek Association. The mussels were placed in existing riffles where remnant populations, darters, and other host fish were known to occur. Information gained from this effort will be directly applicable to future mussel restoration efforts in Ohio as well as throughout the region.
The Big Darby Creek mussel release was the first step in efforts to reintroduce and augment populations with mussels displaced by the bridge replacement. The reintroduction and augmentation will improve resiliency and create better representation and redundancy throughout the range of the species. Focusing our augmentation efforts in Ohio on areas already surrounded by protected uplands within the Big Darby Creek watershed will improve the northern riffleshell opportunity for success.
Although the results of previous translocation efforts for freshwater mussel species have been equivocal, this project allows biologists to monitor the success of the augmentation efforts and to determine the best conditions for reintroduction. Since the release, biologists have visited the sites to monitor the mussels. On both visits, released mussels were found alive in their release sites and the female mussels have begun their reproductive displays, which is an early milestone for the success of the project. However, at least two more years of monitoring will be required to determine whether successful recruitment is occurring. Future releases at other sites throughout the range of the species are being planned using the Strategic Habitat Conservation approach. This will allow for a very carefully selected set of reintroduction and augmentation sites designed to improve resiliency and create redundancy throughout the range of the species thereby increasing the likelihood of survival.
