Extractions: Polygonum cuspidatum NATIVE RANGE: Eastern Asia DESCRIPTION: Japanese knotweed, a member of the buckwheat family (Polygonaceae), is an upright, shrublike, herbaceous perennial that can grow to over 10 feet in height. As with all members of this family, the base of the stem above each joint is surrounded by a membranous sheath. Stems of Japanese knotweed are smooth, stout and swollen at joints where the leaf meets the stem. Although leaf size may vary, they are normally about 6 inches long by 3 to 4 inches wide, broadly oval to somewhat triangular and pointed at the tip. The minute greenish-white flowers occur in attractive, branched sprays in summer and are followed soon after by small winged fruits. Seeds are triangular, shiny, and very small, about 1/10 inch long. Japanese knotweed is designated a noxious weed in the State of Washington. ECOLOGICAL THREAT: Japanese knotweed spreads quickly to form dense thickets that exclude native vegetation and greatly alter natural ecosystems. It poses a significant threat to riparian areas, where it can survive severe floods and is able to rapidly colonize scoured shores and islands. Once established, populations are extremely persistent. DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES: Current distribution of Japanese knotweed includes 36 states in the lower 48 from Maine to Wisconsin south to Louisiana, and scattered midwest and western states. It is not currently known to occur in Hawaii. Click

Home Freezing Of Fish University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension service programs are availableto all, without regard to race, color, age, sex, creed, national origin, or http://www.uaf.edu/coop-ext/publications/freepubs/FNH-00222.html
Extractions: FNH-00222 Freezing is the method most people choose for preserving fresh fish and other seafood products. However, this preservation technique is effective only if the product is handled in such a way that its quality is kept near its peak freshness. A mistake that many people make when freezing fish and other seafood products is to assume that, once it has been frozen, it will not change. The mere fact that a product has been frozen does not ensure that its quality is protected. Precautions must be taken to guard against flavor and textural changes that can take place during frozen storage of the product. This is especially true for seafoods held in a home freezer. The quality of frozen seafood is directly related to the quality of the starting material. If the seafood you freeze is of poor quality, the seafood you thaw will be of poor quality,perhaps even poorer. Whether the fish comes from commercial sources or sport fishing, care should be taken to ensure that only high-quality fish are considered for use in home freezing. When fresh fish is frozen, several processes involved in spoilage are temporarily interrupted. First and foremost, freezing temperatures inhibit the growth of bacteria, which is the main cause of spoilage in fresh fish. By halting the metabolic activity of such microorganisms present in and on the fish, freezing stops this type of spoilage. When a frozen product's temperature rises to the point where bacteria can grow again, however, the bacterial spoilage process starts up again.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service (NWS) Partners with Dow Corning and Emergency Management Agency to Give Away 70 NOAA Weather Radios. NOAA's NWS Forecast Office in Wilmington, OH, recently partnered with Dow Corning, Carroll County Emergency Management, and the Kentucky State Emergency Management Office to give away 70 new NOAA weather radios. Dow Corning bought 70 NOAA weather radios and distributed them to hospitals, schools, nursing homes, day care centers, churches, fire departments, and government buildings in the area. The mayor, a county judge, the local police chief, NWS personnel, and Dow Corning employees went through the community in small groups distributing the radios along with NWS pamphlets. Each organization that received a radio was educated on how to use the radio, the timely information it would provide, and how to respond to warnings issued.

KEY DEPARTMENT NEWS The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service and Arkansas Department of Emergency Management to Sign Memorandum of Agreement. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) National Weather Service and Florida State and Federal Agencies Collaborate to Get Additional Data. The NWS, working in collaboration with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT), NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) and Forecast System Laboratory (FSL), and Florida Weather Forecast Offices, is working to enhance weather analyses and forecasting through the use of Global Positioning System (GPS) sites throughout Florida. The Florida DOT plans to install 50 GPS sites around the state to improve its geophysical observation and mapping capability. Once installed, the GPS system will help provide atmospheric moisture content measurements that may be accessed at any time (currently upper air weather balloons capture those data only twice a day). This is an important asset in increasing efficiency and effectiveness of NWS forecasting capabilities. Since GPS signals are affected by atmospheric water vapor, the FSL has developed a technique to derive Integrated Precipitable Water estimates (moisture content from the Earth's surface to the top of the atmosphere) from the GPS data. A few GPS sites are currently operational in Florida and are already providing the NWS with high resolution real time IPW estimates. All 50 GPS sites are expected to be operational within the next two years. (Contact: Ron Trumbla, W/SR, 817-978-1111, ext. 140)
