			<image:caption><![CDATA[Pump jacks are seen at sunrise near Bakersfield, California, in October. Years of tight environmental rules improved California air quality so much that the state has not issued a smog alert in a dozen years. But prolonged drought and warmer temperatures have triggered a spike in the number of winter days thick with soot and dirt, while summer days have been marred by smog. Recent studies suggest an excess of smog is drifting in to the state from Asia and other parts of the world.]]></image:caption>

Animal rescue centers in California are being inundated with stranded, starving sea lion pups, raising the possibility that the facilities could soon be overwhelmed, the federal agency coordinating the rescue said. The precise cause is not clear, but scientists believe the sea lions are suffering from a scarcity of natural prey that forces nursing mothers to venture farther out to sea for food, leaving their young behind for longer periods.]]></image:caption>

			<image:caption><![CDATA[Sake is made by fermentation just like wine and beer, but it involves a more complex brewing process. Wine is naturally fermented by pressing grapes and adding yeast. Sake, however, is not fermented by adding yeast to rice, but through the use of koji (a kind of mold), which converts starch in the rice into sugar. The rice begins fermenting once yeast is added to this sugar. Because the saccharification and fermentation processes occur in parallel in the same container, the process is called multiple-parallel fermentation.]]></image:caption>
