THE first effective treatment for potentially lethal food allergies could be on the market within a decade, according to an expert.
Currently people who experience severe reactions to food such as peanuts and dairy products simply have to avoid them.
However, researchers have found a way of reproducing the substance that causes the allergy, so its potency can be reduced.
This means it can be used as a "hypoallergenic vaccine" to reduce the overreaction by the body's immune system, which can kill. The same techniques could also be used against hay fever and allergic asthma.
At the same time, scientists are looking to extract a compound in unpasteurised milk that appears to stop people from getting allergies in the first place.
Farming families in Bavaria who grow up drinking unpasteurised milk are up to ten times less likely to develop allergies than the general population. Probiotics involving lactic acid, found in milk, are also being investigated.
Dr Ronald van Vee, of Amsterdam University, told the British Association Festival of Science yesterday that the basics of the vaccine-type therapy were already there but it had to go through testing to ensure it was safe and truly effective.
"For food allergy, the only treatment is avoidance and rescue medication if you weren't successful in avoiding the food you are allergic to," he said.
"But if we can develop this therapy that will cure the disease and we are close to something that can prevent it as well.
"I'm convinced this therapy will come within ten years. The peanut is one of the allergies for which I think this will come pretty soon," Dr van Vee said.
An ordinary vaccine cannot be made from peanuts as the reaction would be too strong and each time patients were treated they would need adrenalin and other drugs to recover.
Other vaccines among the first to be developed would be for the most common food allergies, such as those involving hazelnuts, walnuts, shrimp and possibly milk and eggs.
The vaccine approach could be combined with an attempt to use naturally occurring bacteria which help our body's immune system to regulate itself.
There is a theory, known as the hygiene hypothesis, that the rise in allergies can be attributed to standards of cleanliness which kill off these friendly bacteria as well as the bad ones.
"There is a real strong effect of unpasteurised milk, it is a factor of nine or ten. The people who have discovered this are looking at which microbial product in the milk causes the protective effect," Dr van Vee said.
"If we can find that, and I think we are close, then we can design protective [drugs]."
He added there was also a study getting under way in London to look at the effect of exposing children under the age of one, who have relatives with peanut allergy, to see if this can prevent the disease emerging.
Several large companies are also carrying out research on probiotic bacteria supplements to see whether they can help.
Dr van Vee said his own research was on apples.
"There is a hypoallergenic molecule of the major allergen in apple that's been tested on skin and orally and proven to have a ten-fold reduction in allergy," he said.
Dr Clare Mills, of the UK's Institute of Food Research, said there were not enough specialised allergy clinics in Britain and none in Scotland, which had led many people to misunderstand the issues and also to a high rate of self-diagnosis.
About 30 per cent of people believe they have an allergy, whereas the true figure is about 1-2 per cent of adults and 5-7 per cent of children.

The Woman's Club of Westfield is doing it again. Last year the club provided a Zumba Comedy Spoof which aired on YouTube to raise funds for Gilda's Club. This year brings more laughter with a live improvisational show kindness of Contagious Drama and Momenti Productions to raise funds for Family Promise, the 2013 project of New Jersey State Federation of Women's Clubs (NJSFWC.)
The intention of this entertainment is to support homeless families in New Jersey while providing an evening of live entertainment. The show is called Contagious Laughter and the Improvisation group is based in Westfield. Contagious Laughter began three years ago with its leader Beth Painter, who is the founder of The Contagious Drama Workshop, contagiousdrama.com.
The group consists of members: Thomas Peitz, Wendy Connolly, Beth Painter, Emma Schwartz, Pam Owen, Jennifer Principato, Steven Lesiak, Kate Walsh, Barbar Karp and Hannah Lieberman who have been working together this past year.
Contagious Laughter will be performing its debut show on Friday, Feb. 8 at 7.30 p.m., in Assembly Hall at the Presbyterian Church in Westfield. All proceeds of the show will go to the Family Promise of NJ.
Beth Painter expresses, "We are so excited to be performing our debut show for this great cause." Raising money and laughing are a great combination." There will be a valentine bake sale during the intermission organized by Woman's Club of Westfield member Pat D'Angelo, with all proceeds going to Family Promise.
The cost of tickets is $15 each. For more information, email email@example.com or call 908-577-7623.

FLINT, MI -- The famed arches downtown aren't the only things getting festive environment friendly lights downtown.
The Flint Downtown Development Authority will string 272 strands of solar-powered colored lights in 68 trees downtown, said Gerard Burnash, DDA executive director.
This is the first year the lights will be put in the trees, said Gerard Burnash, DDA executive director.
"I'm hoping they will all go up on Monday," Burnash said. "We wanted to do something to enhance the downtown, but there are no outlets and we can't run cords across the sidewalk because of safety issues."
The strands were purchased from a company called Environmental Lights and are attached to a solar panel that uses sunlight to power the lights, he said.
The strands were discounted from about $40 a strand to $17 by the company.
"I ordered six first and we tested them out last week," he said, adding the technology proved to work well.
The nine arches on Saginaw Street are already lit with 450 multicolored holiday lights and Burnash expects these solar lights will help bring in the spirit of the season.
"It'll be a good show," he said.

Blue star banners and 300 grandmas support area soldiers
by Bronwyn Wilson
Senior Staff Reporter
Twenty-one year old Shad Talbott wasn't lonely while in boot camp. He was too busy reading the 25 cards and letters he received each day over the holidays. His drill instructor was curious about the excessive correspondence. "Just how many grandmothers do you have?" the instructor asked, incredulous.
Private Talbott answered without hesitation, "Three hundred."
Shad's grandmas Ńand grandpas Ń are residents at Brittany Park in Woodinville where his mother, Claudia Talbott, is program supervisor. During the Christmas season, Claudia Talbott had asked the residents at the retirement community if they would write to her son who was stationed in San Diego "to make him feel at home for the holidays," she explains. She wrote her son's address on strips of paper and placed the strips in a basket and set it in the lobby.
The residents answered the call and soon an avalanche of mail addressed to Private Shad D. Talbott began pouring in at the Marine recruiting station. Every letter or card had words of encouragement and advice; many were from veterans who had served in World War II.
After Christmas, Shad expressed his gratitude and addressed a letter to the residents and staff. He began "Thank you for all your cards and letters I received in boot camp. I graduated Jan. 4, 2002, as private first class and plan to finish my education in the fall at Central University in the PLC program (Platoon Leadership Course) ..."
Claudia Talbott placed the thank you letter in the lobby and posted it next to a photograph of her son looking dapper in his Marine dress blues.
Later, it came to Talbott's attention that there was another way she could show support for her son. She heard that the American Legion is bringing back the blue star banners that parents once hung on their front doors and windows to signify a child has gone to war. She already has the United States flag and the Marine Corps flag flying in her front yard and now plans to add a blue star banner to the collection and place one in her front window in a display of support for her son.
Talbott isn't the only person wanting to show support for a family member in the military. Texanna Cato is a volunteer at the Northshore Senior Center and says she'll place a blue star banner at her home in honor of her grandson, 21-year-old Nathan Demetruk, a former Bothell resident who serves the Navy on a fuel supply ship. His ship's location has been kept secret because it fuels the ships involved in the war on terrorism. "I've just learned that he's stationed in the Bahrain area," says Cato. In the past year, her grandson was stationed in the Persian Gulf, but then flew home for a medical reason. Demetruk's son was born while he was on leave, but he didn't have much time to spend with his baby. He was soon shipped out to sea again, this time for a year. Cato mentions that his absence is hard on her grandson's wife. "It's a hardship on families," she says.
By placing the banners at their homes, Cato and Talbott hope to show their military family member they care and that they are united with other parents who have sons or daughters in the service.
The banner, bearing a single blue star in a field of white trimmed in red, was first proposed back in 1917 during World War I by an Army captain who had two sons serving overseas. During World War II, it was posted as a badge of honor. During the Gulf War the American Legion tried to revive the campaign, but the banners were no sooner ordered than the conflict was over. Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the American Legion has again reactivated the campaign and has distributed over 14,000 banners with thousands more on order. Today, the banner stands as a symbol of a unified resolve to support the U.S. military men and women engaged in the war against terrorism.
For family members who would like to obtain a banner to display at their home, leave a message for your request with the American Legion Post 161 in Redmond at (425) 883-0161.
Tom Meade, adjutant at the Redmond Post, says he'll make one available to anyone who calls.

text: A story broke a couple of weeks ago about ISP's voluntarily participating in a copyright alert system. http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/262315-internet-providers-set-to-crack-down-on-illegal-file-sharing Essentially, intellectual property holders will flag an IP address for peer-to-peer sharing and let the ISP know. The ISP will then send alerts to suspected users letting them know they have been flagged. They might also put them in a "walled-garden" where they will force fed "educational material" that they must read before leaving. Two questions for anyone who might know. 1. What is the nature of the alerts? HTTP redirects, DNS redirects, Java script inserted into legitimate pages? I couldn't seem to find anything on this. 2. Why would ISPs voluntarily participate in a program like this? I have a few guesses such as it will save them from future litigation or the content owners are paying them directly. But, does anyone have evidence on why they are doing this? I have heard this referred to as "SOPA-lite".

Plague by Michael Grant is the fourth book in the Gone series.
This series has a premise that sounds like it was created by a couple of fourteen year old boys in their bedrooms. The kids are in school when suddenly all the adults disappear and the town is enveloped in a large bubble. The kids have to figure out their own society but to complicate things some of the kids start developing magic powers including some of the kids at the reform school down the road some of which are EVIL resulting in many battles and lots of fighting. It's totally absurd which makes it perfect for teenage boys.
In Plague things have gotten bad in the FAYZ. The town is running out of water, there is a horrible flu going around and the most disgusting bugs that eat kids from the inside out are outside the city. Albert sends Sam and a few other kids off to go look for water and then the unthinkable happens. Drake and his horrible whip hand escapes. This leads to a book filled with action and death and lots of gruesome fights.
This book continued along the same line as the previous books in the series. It's a fun read with a lot of action. The book bounced back and forth between characters less often than the previous series. There were some parts that were hard to follow, the giaiaphage/Drake/Brittany storyline was a little confusing and odd but the majority of the book was interesting and engaging.
Appropriateness: This series is perfect for teenage boys. It's sick and twisted and extremely violent. The violence is gruesome the kids kill each other and some of the characters even relish the idea of torturing and killing other kids. The kids drink alcohol to excess and there's a sexual relationship between a couple in this edition, and group of kids display some very hateful and racist behavior. However, there are consequences both physical and emotional to all of the negative behaviors and none of them are glamorized. I wouldn't give this book to a nine year old but it's absolutely appropriate for the12 and up audience that it's targeted towards and this is a series that boys will enjoy.

Sometimes a ladder is more than a ladder. Sometimes it's a work of art. "I like working with intricate stuff," Brandon Bartley says, as he fills in part of his jester's hat with swirls of purple paint. While we talk, Bartley, 19, works intently on the box seat that will attached to the top of his YAYA Mardi Gras ladder. It is his own design, dreamed up after he rejected his first sketch, which featured a playful dog.
"I thought, 'Everybody likes dogs,' but I wanted something a little more Mardi Gras," he says. "This one just screams Mardi Gras with its jester and Carnival colors."
For the past month, young artists at the YAYA Studio on Baronne Street have been working on original designs for their wooden Mardi Gras ladders, putting their personal creative spin on everything from king cakes, Carnival masks and fleurs de lis to crawfish, beads and New Orleans music.
This is the third year they have designed and painted the ladders with children's perches on top to sell to young parade-going families. When I heard about them in 2010, the project seemed so perfect I wondered why nobody had thought of it before.
"Every year, we add new designs but keep some of the old ones," studio director Ron Ratliff says. "We're selling them at three locations."
This year, Trynisha Wright's design is in turquoise and features two trumpets with notes blowing from one to the other one.
"I think more people should join YAYA," Wright says. "It's like the perfect outlet."
The ladders cost $275 and can be purchased while they last at the YAYA Studio on the third floor at 338 Baronne St., Tuesday through Friday, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
You can also buy a ladder at YAYA Creative Glass, 3924b Conti St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and at Pippen Lane, 2929 Magazine St., Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
To learn more, visit YAYA. For up-to-date information about ladder availability, call the studio at 504.529.3306 or contact Baty Landis at email@example.com.
YAYA, or Young Artists/Young Aspirations, has been turning New Orleans teenagers into successful artists and responsible adults for 24 years. Jana Napoli founded the group in 1988 to help art students at Rabouin Vocational High School become self-sufficient professionals.
Now, students from schools around the city join YAYA. The young artists can join at 13. They start out as entry-level apprentices in the nonprofit guild and work their way up to senior guild members, who understand how to market their artwork and serve as mentors to the fledgling artists in YAYA. At 25, they become alumni.
Their large third-floor studio is open Tuesday through Friday after school and on Saturdays. Whenever it's open, you'll find several of the 40 active YAYA artists working there. It's a warm, welcoming paint-stained place with huge windows that overlook downtown New Orleans.
Bartley, designer of the jester ladder, didn't find out about YAYA until he was a senior at Warren Easton High School.
"Since then, I've been really dedicated," he says. "I love coming here. I love having the freedom to create whatever you want. It's a big thing for me."
He is attending Delgado Community College this year, taking core classes in interior design and hoping to one day attend the Savannah School of Art and Design.
"I want to become a better artist and use what I learn to make my art better," he says.
Wright, designer of the turquoise ladder, discovered YAYA in 2006 when she was a student at New Orleans Charter for Science and Mathematics. Now, she's a junior at Dillard University and still devoted to YAYA.
"I enjoy meeting new people, making connections with other artists and becoming a better artist," she says.
YAYA is also involved with community service activities. Through Art Speaks the artists use their artwork to raise public awareness about the local peace campaign Silence Is Violence, and they bring art to local schools through the YAYA Urban Heroes program.
"Most schools in New Orleans have no art program at all," Urban Heroes coordinator Madania Graves, 26, says. "We bring an art component into the schools."
Graves, a YAYA alumnus, started coming to YAYA at 15.
"It's a place to go after school," he says. "It's an escape from the real world. It's that place where you can be your real self."
When I ask him what he learned at YAYA, he answers, "I learned how to be not only an artist but also a productive citizen."
In 2010, when the young artists started making the Mardi Gras ladders, they also formed a partnership with the Krewe of Orpheus and started designing the official Orpheus cups thrown during the Lundi Gras parade.
"That has been a cool partnership," Baty Landis, YAYA's executive director, says.
And that cool partnership has come with lagniappe: The young artists get to ride on a float with the Krewe of Orpheus.
Last year, they helped create the title float, too. For Donnie De Frazier, lead artist on the float, it was quite a thrill to look out at a sea of people who were viewing the artwork on wheels he and his fellow artists had helped create. And his dad was there to see it, too.
"My dad is always at the same spot by the Convention Center for Orpheus," he says. "I thought, 'Wait a minute. My dad's here.' I was able to throw him stuff."
For Wright, riding on the float was "a totally different experience."
"I felt famous," she says. "But once we got to Canal Street, we started running out of beads. We learned you can never have enough."
For the artists, there is another cool thing about riding through the streets of New Orleans with the Krewe of Orpheus.
"Sometimes, we'll look out in the crowd and see one of the ladders they worked on," Ratliff, the studio director, says. "That is always exciting."

Our favorite tour guide in Budapest is Andrew ILLES. We have known him, personally used him and recommended him for over 10 years with never a negative comment. Most of our suggestions you can pursue on your own or gain some greater insight with Andrew's assistance.
Arrival and Getting Situated
Welcome: If you are arriving from within Europe I would suggest that you haveAndrewpick you up at the airport and give you a little introductory tour of Budapest as he delivers you to the apartment. This will get you orientated and ready to begin the adventure. For a tourist coming from the U.S. I would suggest you take Fotaxi (the airport contract taxi company) directly to the apartment, get cleaned up, relax a little and then set off on your own to explore. The Fotaxi kiosk is directly outside the Arrival Lobby. Fotaxi has developed a very user friendly and helpful system with a flat rate. Save the receipt for a discount on the return trip.
If you are arriving by train I encourage you to call Andrew Illes for a short orientation tour on the way to the Apartment or you call CITY TAXI when your train pulls into the station. They will tell you where to meet their taxi and the taxi number. The taxi stands at the train stations are full of unregulated taxis and if you choose one of those the fare could be quite expensive.
The first day is a great time to stay close to home and explore the lower end of Andrassy ut (street) or Kiraly utca (street) and maybe hop the M1 to the Vorosmarty tér stop dead center in the Tourist Zone. At the top of the stairs of the Vorosmarty tér metro station is the Café Gerbeaud one of Budapest's famous landmark coffee houses and an excellent confectioner; while about 100 feet away is the Danube embankment.
TIP: For your first half day use Individual metro tickets. They will cost 320 fteach.
Pest at Your Door
Jewish Pest:From the apartment first walk to the M1 Metro Stop in front of the Opera house and purchase your 72 hour Travel Card.
Now walk to the Kiraly utca entrance to the Gozsdu Courtyard. Leave early and have breakfast at Café Vian in the courtyard, visit the shops and if it is Sunday there is an open air market as well.
After breakfast exit the courtyard onto Dobb utca and note the Spinoza Café at the exit from the courtyard. If you are in Budapest on a Friday evening the Dinner and Klezmer show at Spinoza's is a good choice. Upon exiting the courtyard are in the WWII Jewish Deportation Ghetto; move on to the Rumbach Street Synagogue and then the Great Synagogue.
Shopping Time: After touring the Great Synagogue continue on to the Great Market Hall (take the tram) for shopping and lunch. The restaurants on the second floor have excellent authentic Hungarian food.
Now walk up Vaci utca and try not to spend too much money on the way. This is where Communist Party Leaders from all over came to purchase goods not commonly available behind the Iron Curtain. Also the site of the first McDonald's behind the Iron Curtain.
If you haven't yet been to the Danube Embankment this might be a good opportunity to walk along the river and look over to Buda. Walk on to the base of the Chain Bridge and then go to the shoe memorial on the Danube embankment.
Now on to St Stephen's Basilica and the pedestrian area in front that leads down towards the river. For really good local crafts and high quality souvenirs; while standing at the front steps and while facing the Basilica look to the shops on your far right. There is also an interesting shop down on the pedestrian street towards the river that sells music related souvenirs that are unique and interesting.
Return to the Apartment. Tired? Get on the M1 metro at the end of Andrassy and relax for one stop.
Evening: Budapest is about the music and you should really plan to spend one evening either at the Opera, Operett or one of the Church Concerts. Callas Café on Andrassy ut is an excellent place for dinner after a concert or a show. Call, make a reservation and ask them to hold the table as you will be coming from the theater. The Opera House is next door, the Operetta Theater is a block away and St. Stephen's is about 4 blocks. There are links to most of the major venues on this website and there is information on a number of restaurants in THE GUIDEpdf file also on this website.
The Road to Buda and Back
Szabadsag tér: After breakfast in the apartment take the M1 to Deak Ferenc tér then transfer to the M2 to the Kossuth Lajos tér metro stop. Take the early morning Parliament Tour, see the U.S. Embassy (wave and smile) and see the Soviet War Memorial in front of the US Embassy as well as the life size statue of Ronald Reagan walking towards the Soviet War Memorial.
Antique Stores: Now move on to Falk Miksa utca to wander through the antique shops including the maze of underground display rooms in the old interconnected building basements. Look for lunch here or wait until you get to Buda.
Buda: From Falk Miksa utca go to the end of the Margaret Bridge and get on the Tram across the river. Get off on the other side of the river; there is an excellent antique shop next to the old world custom shoe shop across the street from the tram stop.
Now take about a 15 minute walk down to Batthyány tér. Here you will find places to eat, an interesting church and an interesting market as well as the local (HEV) train service to Szentendre.
Board the tram to take you to the Chain Bridge and the Funicular up to Buda. The closest tram stop is about 100 yards before the bridge. Sit on the left so you can look across the river to the Parliament and Pest.
Up the funicular to the Buda Castle, Fisherman's Bastion, Gypsy Market and the other sights of Buda. One of the few means of transport for which you're Travel Card will not work.
Do the whole Buda Castle District tour. Two things often missed are the bar in the Hilton for the view of the Parliament through the old abbey naïve and the Hospital in the Rock. There are also some interesting shops in the courtyard of the building across the street from the Hilton main entrance.
Take the stairs down from Buda and cross the Chain Bridge on foot. Walk to Vorosmarty tér and take the M1 metro back to the Opera and home.
Evening:There are a thousand great restaurants in Budapest, choose one. The apartment is central to many of the best. See THE GUIDE for ideas.
Arrange for a night tour of Budapest with Andrew; Budapest is stunning in the evening when all lit up. Or ask Andrew to book you on one of the evening boat rides on the Danube to see the lights or visit one of Budapest's wonderfully unique Ruin Pubs.
Choose a Day Trip
Time to see the surrounds of Budapest. Either discover on your own or contact Andrew Illes for detailed guided tours.
Szentnedre (Half Day): Don't want to spend a full day on the Danube Bend then from the apartment take the M1 to Vorosmarty tér and transfer to the M2 to Batthyány tér where you can purchase a ticket on HEV commuter train to Szentendre. Spend the morning in Szentendre and take the early afternoon taxi boat back to Budapest.
Vac (Half Day): This gem on the banks of the Danube has the charm of Szentendre but with mummies and fewer tourists. Thirty minutes by direct train from Budapest's Nyugati Railway Terminal. Even the train terminal is special; one of Eiffel's early creations before his famous tower.
Royal Palace at Gödöllő (Half Day): A vacation residence used by the Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and his family. A favorite of the Empress Elisabeth (Sisi). Excellent gardens in the spring and the fall. Take the M1 to Vorosmarty tér and transfer to the M2 to Örs Vezér tere. Transfer to the HEV commuter train to Gödöllő.
The Danube Bend (Full Day): Take an all day tour to Esztergom, Visegrad and Szentendre. Visit the Cardinals' Cellar for wine tasting and take a short trip across the Danube to visit Sturovo in Slovakia. Entering Budapest on the Danube is a special event so be sure to take the boat from Szentendre back into Budapest as a way to end the trip.
Gyor and the Pannonhalma Archabbey (Full Day): Austria is famous for its abbey at Melk; the Austrians have nothing on this magnificent Archabbey and wine producer located about an hour and a half outside of Budapest on the Road to Vienna.
Lake Balaton & Tihany (Full Day): The largest lake in Central Europe and one of Central Europe's prime summer resort destinations.
Puszta Horse Shows (Full Day): Where Hungarian "cowboys" put on spectacular riding shows on the great Hungarian Plains.
Evening: It's been a long day, and while the apartments have excellent kitchens how can you resist sitting in one of the cafés on Andrassy ut or Kiraly utca; wine, good foot, people watching at its best.
Wrap Up Your Trip and Fill the Holes
Andrassy ut, Part Two: The Champs-Élysées of Budapest. Tradeoff between the M1 and going on foot. View the grand buildings and mansions that line this monumental avenue.
House of Terror: Ignore the kitsch name, this is an outstanding museum showing the travesty of fascism in Hungary's history; from Nazi occupation to home grown fascism, through Soviet occupation.
Hero's Square, City Park, Szechenyi Bathhouse, a simply amazing Zoo, Ice Skating (winter) and the Vajdahunyad Castle: living remnants of the celebration of a millennium of Hungarian civilization in the Carpathian basin.
New York Palace:Now take the M1 back to the Oktogon and then the tram to the New York Palace for lunch (pretty decent hamburgers if you are just dying for a taste of the States).

So I went for my GD screen yesterday. While I was there I asked my doctor about doing delayed cord cutting and he basically laughed at me and told me he would not be able to give me my baby until the cord was cut because all the blood would leave the baby and go back into the placenta ( I'm no doctor but it makes sense to me that if the cord is pulsating the blood isn't going to just drain out) He also said that it was "silliness" I was shocked, and when I started to tell him of the research I had done he just wasn't paying attention.
My current OB has a very highly respected in the community and has amazing reviews based on the research I have done. I am very nervous to switch doctors this late in the game but I am so angry. This is something that is important to me, and he made me feel like a nut for suggesting it. The more research I do the more convinced I am that it is a no brainer and something I want to do. here is a link I just finished watching youtu.be/cX-zD8jKne0
I just want to ask you ladies if you think I am overreacting and what your thoughts are. Also, does anyone know of any doctors in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area that will do this. I really don't even know where to begin with trying to find a doctor at this point.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!!

HOUSTON (AP) - The founders of Houston-based Pappas Restaurants Inc. have bought a multimillion-dollar stake in the Luby's cafeteria chain and purchased the classic Houston restaurant, Maxim's, company officials said.
Brothers Christopher and Harris Pappas disclosed they own 1.3 million shares of San Antonio-based Luby's - about 6 percent of the stock. The privately owned Pappas Restaurants has 60 steak, Cajun, Mexican, seafood and barbecue establishments in Texas, Arizona, Illinois, Colorado and Georgia.
The brothers said they are negotiating with the cafeteria chain for an additional investment to give them one of 12 seats on Luby's board of directors. Luby's operates 219 restaurants in 10 states, more than three-quarters in Texas.
The cafeteria-style chain is working to turn around declining sales, bring in new leadership and improve relations with store managers.
Its business and stock have faltered since the late 1990s, as demand for home-style Southern cooking waned, hurting other restaurants serving similar fare like the Black-Eyed Pea and Cooker Bar & Grille.
Luby's announced that 15 weak-performing restaurants would close and suspended its quarterly dividend for the first time in October. Chief executive officer Barry J.C. Parker and chief financial officer Laura Bishop abruptly left the company in late fall.
Harris Pappas said he and his brother are supportive of Luby's board members and want to work with them.
"Although discussions are at a very early stage and no understandings have been reached, we welcome the interest of the Pappas brothers, who have an excellent track record in the restaurant industry, " Luby's Chairman David B. Davis said in a statement.
The new Luby's management backed away from a plan that required managers to hit certain sales targets and instead brought back profit-sharing, which in the past gave managers up to 40 percent of a store's earnings. Managers were also given more flexibility and greater decision-making power.
The cafeteria chain is working to overhaul its image, updating its look with new decor, preparing food to order, and creating drive-through windows that have increased sales by 35 percent.
The brothers bought their 1.3 million Luby's shares between Oct. 16 and Dec. 22, a period during which Luby's stock price ranged from $3.75 and $5.88. It opened at $6.25 Thursday.
