Opus the Penguin Back In the Funny Business

After eight years away from newspapers, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Berkeley Breathed is creating a new comic strip called "Opus," starring his beloved penguin of the same name. The Washington Post Writers Group, which will syndicate the strip, is expected to officially announce Breatheds return this Sunday. The reclusive Breathed, who rarely gives interviews, could not be reached yesterday for comment. The new strip will appear on Sundays in The Washington Post starting Nov. 23.

Plants Have a Way With Metals

If farmers could plant crops designed to exploit these genes, they could theoretically produce food with more nutrients while using less fertilizer by making plants pull minerals from soil more efficiently, Salt said. They also could use plants to mop up toxins. For markets in richer nations, Salt is partnering with a company called NuCycle Therapy to develop selenium-rich plants, because that compound has been found to fight cancer. Likewise, many people in developing nations suffer from "hidden hunger," Salt said. They lack important vitamins in their diet even though they get enough calories. He hopes his technology will address that need.
