Scientists creating plants that make their own fertilizer
A single mega transfer
The scientists have chosen their proof-of-principle project very carefully to maximize the odds it will work.
Cyanothece 51142 is particularly attractive as a parts source for the project because it has the largest contiguous cluster of genes related to nitrogen fixation of any cyanobacterium. Roughly 30 genes are part of the same functional unit under the control of a single operating signal, or promoter.
The scientists hope this cluster of genes can be moved to another cyanobacterial strain in a single mega-transfer. The one they've picked as the host, Synechocystis 6803, is the best studied strain of cyanobacteria. Not only has its genome been sequenced, it is naturally "transformable" and able to integrate foreign DNA into its genome by swapping it with similar native strands of DNA.
But it's actually the next step in the project that will provide the greater challenge for Pakrasi and his team. The scientists will need to figure out how to connect the transplanted nitrogen-fixing gene cluster to Synechocystis' clock. "Like every cyanobacterium," Pakrasi says, " Synechocystis has a diurnal rhythm. But how to tap into that rhythm we don't know yet. We have some ideas we're going to test, but that's where the challenge lies."
Overcoming the challenge of sustainably producing food for a world population of more than 7 billion while reducing pollution and greenhouse gases will require more than luck. Odds are it will take a daring, "out of the box" idea like this one.

At the Bukit Jalil Stadium, captain Shahril Ishak stunned the defending champions with his opener in the 32nd minute.

Substitute Aleksander Duric scored the 3rd goal for the Republic in the 2nd half to seal the win.
Switching gears to Motorsport and in Formula 1,
Sebastian Vettel became the youngest ever 3-time World Champion, after he defended his crown at the season-ending Brazillian Grand Prix.
At the Interlagos Circuit, the 25 year old almost lost the Driver's Championship to Fernando Alonso midway through.
Vettel spun out in the early stages, only to rejoin the pack in last place.
But the German fought his way back in the wet conditions, to finish in 6th position and retain his World title.
McLaren's Jenson Button finished in 1st place in front of Fernando Alonso, as Felipe Massa grabbed 3rd.

The World Number 19 sustained the injury in his previous game against America's Sam Querrey.

I know, I know, there is still football going on but not for the Chiefs. I am only happy about this fact because it helps keep me entertained and shortens the time between now and the draft.
The offseason can be a long, lonely time. We'll be plugging along here at AA so make sure you log on for all the news and opinions you've come to expect. After the jump is most of the important upcoming dates. I couldn't find exactly when the schedule comes out but it will be shortly after the draft I believe.

I'm rooting for the Jets and T-Rich!
January 30 – Senior Bowl
One last look at potential players for the upcoming draft.

I really like this video – especially the rainbow circle. That was the best part!
Cool video i like the rainbow. I especially like the band. The way you used clay is sooo cool. I liked how you typed during the movie.

From the moment my pen touches paper, I unleash power.
Each word is born in my mind, meticulously chosen,
So, together, they will be able to transform.
For, from the pages of the past
Will rise the foundations of the future.
Lying in their depths is harnessed energy,
Just waiting to be released.
Letters, words, sentences,
Like rockets on their launch pads,
Anticipating their liftoff.
So they can find their targets and use their power
To bring out smiles in the sullen,
Induce tears in the immovable,
Excite the lethargic,
Calm the angry,
Bring hope to the dejected,
And remorse to the heartless.
Changing one person,
Changing one community,
Changing one nation,
Changing the world.
My words make a difference,
And so does their creator.
I am a writer.

Armed with pens and pencils
Crayons and markers
Watercolors, oil pastels, acrylics
Charcoal and tempera
I set out on my journey
Into a different world
A world where the sky is brilliant shades of blue
All meshing together in a seamless patchwork
A world where flying horses stampede past
On wings of flame
Under a sizzling sun of cornflower yellow
With the grass like forest green carpet
Beneath my feet
A world where logic is overruled by color
And reason lay pure possibility
Apples the size of soccer balls
Hang from giant trees with leaves of polka-dotted pink
Bubbling rivers in a shade of gold
Abound with leaping purple goldfish
A world where time has no jurisdiction
And limitations make no difference
A world where I can set my imagination free
To run wild
On silver breaths of wind
I pick up my pencil
And begin to draw

Receive a news story, an inspiring quote, and a suggested action each day that every person can use to make a difference in their own lives and the world around them.
(Source: snapatoonies.com)
Around the clock and around the world, OdeWire is always looking at the most authoritative news sources for stories that focus on solutions rather than problems, and on positive changes rather than negative ones.
(Source: amazon.com)
A "Daily Dose of News to Enthuse." Stories confirm what we already believe: good news itself is not in short supply; the advertising of it is. :-)
1. Skip the advertising and go for the foods that will power their bodies for life – give them as many vegetables as possible in as many forms – each is a packet of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that will help your child's engines power.
2. Power pack their foods – kids bodies are super engines powering all the functions they need for optimum performance – muscles, brain power, processing and cleaning stations, growth and repair area etc etc.
3. Add foods that naturally sweeten food plus give them valuable vitamins minerals and roughage. For babies stewed foods – add pumpkin and squash or sweet potato to sweeten the taste. Use nutrient packed tomato sauces and pasta sauces with vegetables and meats giving them foods rich in vitamins and minerals.
4. For toddlers move to raw carrots, organic frozen peas and corn, steam yellow squash, peppers and broccoli.
5. Have fun with your food - we call broccoli "trees". We use fun names for different shaped pasta –we call penne pasta, telescope pasta and give them some raw pasta to look through while waiting for their dinner. Spaghetti pasta is snake pasta because it slithers like a snake.
6. Rather than using ketchup or store brought tomato sauce we always make extra pasta sauce packed with vegetablesand give that to the kids to replace ketchup.
7. To encourage the kids to eat some veggies we give them "dipping sauce" using some of the pasta sauce. Broccoli trees taste great when dipped in some warmed pasta sauce as do carrot sticks and the kids love dipping them. (Remember don't overcook them or they fall apart – aldante is the go here).

Brainwavz B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones
"Summary of my experience with these: Build: Feels cheap and plasticky. In fact the box appears better made than the earphones. :) Treble: Very detailed, forward and sharp. No real sibilance BUT is very fatiguing after even after short listening sessions Mids: Again very detailed but there appears to be some forward and some recessed elements depending on the track you are listening to. The..." --Krisman
" CKS line improves the main problem of traditional audio technica products which was bass. CKS50 did not focus on the quantity but the quality of bass, it does not have the quantity for hard rock music but it was tight and powerful enough for pop-rock also it still have the sweet mids like audio technica do which makes my perfect choice for j-pop female vocal." --Kiln
Audio Technica ATH-CKM500 BK | Inner Headphones (Japan Import)
" Recommended by Dsnuts, was told that it will be an upgrade from the TT Isarus. Much more refined and beautiful bass! Mid's and High's are complimented with a delicious refined low end. Soundstage is full and wide with great detail and clarity. Very fluid, very listenable and non fatiguing! Comfortable and stays securely in your..." --volly
Brainwavz M4 In-Ear Headphones
"I bought this in 2012-06, when my Brainwavz M2 broke. It was given a Sonic Diamond by ClieOS for the pre-order price and 4.2 / 5 for the sound quality, so I expected quite a bit. Unfortunately, the cables are nowhere near as good as those used on the M2. The build quality of the speakers seems quite okay, though. Compared to the M2, the bass is considerably weaker, but the..." --Kadano
Audio Technica ATH-CK7 Titanium Earphones
" CK7 earphone is a nice detailed ear piece with titanium housing which makes it very durable. For me, although i am not using it very often this works the same as it used to be the first day i bought it. They require burn in time at least 100 hours and you can definitely tell the difference in the bass section and the mids. Comfort: i would recommend to be worn..." --FarCry
Audio Technica CK100
"I recently bought these as an upgrade to my Head Direct RE0's. The RE0's are outstanding value for money, and there is not many headphones that can beat it ... until I got my hands on the CK100's. The CK100 packaging box is nice - very simple, and does the job more than adequately. What I noticed on it, which I've not seen in many other headphone boxes is that it lists the product code for..." --s0126471

Audio-Technica ATH-IM50 Dual symphonic-driver In-ear Monitor headphones
"This IEM is vocal oriented and so they are especially for vocal lovers. It is clean, detailed and upfront. This is not a basshead IEM instead it is punchy, detailed maybe a little slow on some really fast tracks but generally it is quite involving and fast. There is no midbass bloat I could hear so there is no veil in the mids. The guitars especially sound amazing on these..." --ozkan
Audio-Technica ATH-CKS99 | SOLID BASS Inner-Ear Headphones (Japan Import)
"The CKS99s are, without a doubt, a consumer-oriented headphone in its sound signature. However, despite the prominently advertised bass and the definite emphasis toward that end, the very well-controlled lows rarely step out of place. First off the design and build. Like other members of the CKS lineup, the CKS99s are a half in-ear design. The shells are larger and stick out..." --batduck8

I'm not highly picky with my audio but these please me greatly for their portable usage. My home pair of..." --Mgear

Salon Selections
For those who reside far outside the greater New York or Los Angeles areas, landing an appointment with Sally Hershberger is an almost impossible feat; it can be a challenge to score a coveted time slot with the queen of the $800 cut for those of us lucky enough to live in a neighboring zip code. Two years ago, Hershberger began to spread her gospel of great hair to the flyover states with the launch of Salon, a line of professional-grade styling products. At 5 p.m. EST today, two new additions to the range will be revealed by the hair heavyweight herself on HSN. Body Fix is a flexible volumizing spray that dries at lightning speed, leaves little residue, and creates a barrier against humidity, while Mineral Complex is a lightweight cream formulated with shea butter, natural palm oil extract, and a trio of minerals (hematite, smithsonite, and malachite) to defrizz and smooth. The latter is also particularly noteworthy for its natural wave-defining capabilities, and at only $24 a pop, it costs a whole lot less than an hour in Hershberger's chair.

It's hard being a new mom (or even an experienced mom to a new baby) and sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't, despite what all the experts say. But this is a safe place to share your secrets (PM me)—we'll never tell.
This Week's Secret:
My son is 3-months-old and I am shocked by motherhood and all it entails. At first I thought I would get used to it, but now I am just spending more and more time crying and depressed and feeling like I want my old life back. Maybe it is because I had not really "settled down" when I got pregnant. I went right from partying every night and hanging out with friends to being totally grounded with my baby. My boyfriend has been helpful, but he and I are not together anymore, so it is really up to me alone and I really hate it most of the time. Does this ever get better? — Anonymous
There are a couple answers to your question. Yes, it gets better, much better, in fact. And also: You should get help. Raising a baby alone or with just a boyfriend with whom you do not live is not easy. The first three months are hard for all new moms and all new moms feel that way, too, but you do have special circumstances.
My advice would be to ask your friends, parents, siblings and anyone else for help. Be honest with them about how you are feeling and make sure you are talking openly. If you can cultivate this now, you will have a great support system as your baby grows.
You will undoubtedly be less "green" in a few months and will be much happier and more comfortable with motherhood, but it still does take a village. It is impossible to do it completely alone. If it feels more serious, seek professional help. There is no shame in that.
Do you have any advice for this mom?
seek help immediately! there is no shame in having those feelings or suffering ppd but seek help if you cant control them or feel overwhelmed. depression (ppd) is serious and its not your fault... having a baby is joyous , yes. but very overhwhelming!! Better to take care of yourself so nothing happens... it only takes an instant to lost it all.
I too, felt your pain. It IS normal. I have a very supporting family and a husband who was more than helpful with our child and still felt that way. Motherhood is VERY hard. People forget to tell you that. It gets easier as the child grows older and their dependence on you grows less and less. But it is never easy. I, personally, was diagnosed with Post Partum Depression, and was medicated for it. I did feel better. I stayed on the medication until after I returned to work when my daughter was 18months old, and I was feeling back to my normal self. I cannot say that you do have PPD, but a simple questionair will lead your Dr. to believe one way or the other. I CAN say that there is no reason to be miserable. I lived miserably until my daughter was about 6-7 months old when I finally admitted that I did have a problem.
Sasha you should seriously be ashamed of yourself for giving this article such an attention seeking title. I cannot believe you beckon these women to send you their most personal secrets and then THIS is how you let their secret out?! Do you think that your your infering and your title is helping this poor woman any? Never, anywhere did she ever imply that she hates her baby. Disgusting.
As I said motherhood is VERY VERY VERY hard, and nobody mentioned that to me before I had my daughter... I expected to feel overwhelming love from the minute I had her until the day I died. I expected to "know" her cries, and to be able to 'Fix" whatever was bothering her. I expected that she wouldnt cry much because I would 'know' what to do. Well, I didnt feel that automatic overwhelming love I expected, which made me feel like a monster. I didnt know her cries, I just knew that she cried all the time. I couldnt fix whatever was bothering her because there was nothing to fix. I Didnt know what to do all the time. As I said I had an exceptional support system and still had the same feelings you are having. I literally wondered if I had made a Huge mistake by having this baby. I Wanted my old life back. Then I got help, and it got better. and better. and better. and as my daughter has grown, we have had our issues but, now, at 3 years old, I am having the time of my life! She is SO much fun and I am enjoying her like I thought I may never enjoy her. Motherhood now is amazing. It DOES get better. Take it from this mom. :)

Wolfie One has been taking her training at the highest class of them all, the Lich King. While battling his greatest minions in ICC, she is also investigating an old mystery - additional shards of the great Scepter of the Shifting Sands. I've been helping an old Gnome in Tanaris. Eccentric as he could be, it was interesting to help him. But helping Fendral Staghelm was most unagreeable. I wish someone would put him in a burrow den somewhere. Anyway, working on plans. I've been making potions furiously to assist the cause, though for some reason, there's a big push for Pygmy oil - something about overdosing. Anyway, check back in next week!

Before I go into today's topic we have some housekeeping.
Today is my last regular post for Get Schooled. You'll still see my name as I write about higher education, but the talented Maureen Downey takes over the blog Monday. Many of you already know her from her weekly Learning Curve column and editorials about education issues.
Now, to today's topic. Over the past few weeks I've been talking with several college officials about the upcoming school year. Inevitably, the conversations turned to HOPE.
The program — Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally – pays for the tuition, books and fees for Georgia students who maintain a 3.0 average.
Some officials – at least those at private colleges – wondered why the amount HOPE students receive to attend their institutions is less than what students would get for a public college.
If the goal is to keep bright students in Georgia, why not spread the wealth evenly they asked?
Others wondered if HOPE was fair, especially for late

There are still plans within WWE to turn Antonio Cesaro into a baby face. It was supposed to have happened already, but the creative department simply has not found the time nor a suitable story to break him away from Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger.
There are talks that the much anticipated Antonio Cesaro baby face turn could take place while WWE is in Europe later this month.
The Roman Reigns baby face turn might not actually take place for several more months, as WWE wants to wait until he is ready.
WWE has started to tease the eventual baby face turn by Roman Reigns, and it could lead to a really huge push for the Shield member.
Since the show was in Scotland, Drew McIntyre worked as a baby face when he teamed with Heath Slater against the Usos.
Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and two of their children attended an MMA class taught by former WWE diva Eve Torres and her husband. Some pictures were posted on Instagram and Twitter, where the girls took a subtle jab at Matt Hardy while showcasing a choke hold.
Eve Torres recently posted a picture on Instagram of herself with her fiancee, Rener Gracie.
Through her Twitter account, Eve Torres revealed that she was on her way to Seattle, where the former WWE star and current self defense trainer would be presenting the Diva of the Year award on Monday Night Raw.
Eve Torres has signed on to return to WWE next week on Monday Night Raw to present the winner of the Diva of the Year award.
"I don't see it happening. But I know myself enough to know that I'm not going to sit here and say that it's never going to happen."
Eve Torres has decided to leave WWE. She informed management in December that she wanted to focus on her career as a self defense instructor, and the company granted her the release. She worked until January and put over Kaitlyn before leaving.
Eve Torres successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Kaitlyn at the Survivor Series.

Form Follows Function
Back when Flash was all the rage, one would find experimental sites like this all the time. It seems less common in the HTML5 world, which really makes this a gem.
The semi-frequent musings of David Kaneda, designer at Google and maker of Buckets, a new CMS for Node.jsFollow @davidkaneda
Back when Flash was all the rage, one would find experimental sites like this all the time. It seems less common in the HTML5 world, which really makes this a gem.
Tim Bray:
It's like this: The browser's doomed, because apps are the future. Wait! Apps are doomed because HTML5 is the future. I see something almost every day saying one or the other. Only it's mostly wrong.
Sencha Touch 2.0 — Built for Amazing Apps
Today we're proud to announce the release of Sencha Touch 2.0. With a huge focus on performance, simplified API, and native packaging on both Mac and Windows, we're certain it will change the way you think about mobile apps.
I am honored to work with the team that created Sencha Touch 2. It is, without a doubt, the richest, smoothest, and easiest way to write HTML5 apps for iOS, Android, and Blackberry.
I got to the party tardy with H5B, having just started using it a few weeks ago, but I love this project. It's hard to deny that it's a great, easy to use, starting point for HTML5 projects — chock full of best practices. Although it's still Ant-based, the build system is pretty lovely as well. If you haven't already tried it out, version 2 should add in enough to push you over the edge.
You may have noticed posts trailing off over the past month (sorry!), but this redesign is what's been stealing all my time. This is my post on the Sencha blog about how the redesign came to be, new features on the site, and a little behind-the-scenes look at how it was made.
I actually quite like the branding effort, especially the generator which builds a custom badge depending on what technologies you've used. Also very proud of Sencha Touch being featured on the homepage, day one.
A couple of the guys at the office got together and came up with this short wishlist with all of the things we'd love to see happen in the world of HTML5, CSS3, and other web standards. Favorites include #6, #7, and #9.
I think there's actually a very good reason why we should, in fact, embrace the term "HTML5" as an overarching buzzword for this latest round of web standards and specifications. Our industry has proven on several occasions that we don't get excited about new, interesting, and useful technologies and concepts until such a buzzword is in place.Jeff Croft, On the term "HTML5"

I am confused.. In Windows 7, what was the Documents and Settings folder in XP, is now the "Users" folder in 7, which can be found in the root of C: usually.. There were a number of security changes to the file system that were made starting in Vista an cont'd in 7, that once understood, are pretty easy to work with. I had my share of pains with them at first, but now I am more on the side of seeing the advantages.. I am still trying to get clear in this thread, what exactly you are trying to access.

Turn UAC off, like I did.
I don't like to be asked whenever I start the command line under administrator mode, defrag my HDD, or fire up my anti-virus program.
I've done fine without UAC for years (with Windows 95, 98, XP), and I trust I'll continue to do fine without it in the future.

Sorry about the "jump" post. Back to user controls. OK...I have two Administrator accounts. One is my original, the other, strangely enough, was added when I was trying to get my sound problem worked out. I haven't a clue how the second Administrator account was added (either when I downloaded the latest Realtek drivers for my on board sound OR when I subsequently deactivated on board and installed an Audigy 2 ZS) . In User Accounts, I can not turn the second account off yet I have read and followed a forum guide on booting without having to select an account. However, I would like to delete the second account if anyone could suggest how.
|My System Specs

In order to delete an account, you have to log in with a different account, generally one with admin privileges. Are you sure the account you wish to delete is not the one with which you are currently logged in... Another possibility, there is an administrator accnt that is not enabled by default, but that exists within the system. This is the true administrator account within the system, and as I said, for security reasons, it is disabled by default. If you are calling your account administrator and seeing two separate accounts in the system named administrator, this is most likely what is happening.. See:

User controls
I don't know why but my last post didn't show up. Sorry about the audio problem post....guess it got in the wrong topic.
Anyways, I have turned off permissions in folder options and have modified User controls. The problem is I have two administrator accounts showing. When I was trying to install the latest Realtek driver somehow another administrator account was added. When I try to delete it, it is not identified as something I can delete. I have found other posts in the forum about how to skip the boot up administration page and I do go directly into my desktop without having to select an account. But I would still like to remove the second administrator added by my Realtek new driver download.
|My System Specs
|11 Nov 2009
Did you enable the built in Administrator account prior to loading the driver, and make yourself this administrator, or did you create a new account in the beginning called Administrator?
|My System Specs
|12 Nov 2009
In the beginning I set myself up as the admin. Apparently shortly after installing Win 7 I added another admin account when I installed the latest Realtek drivers. Unfortunately I completed loading all my programs under the second admin account. Meanwhile the first account is NOT cancellable but doesn't have my programs I subsequently loaded on the second admin account. Is there some quick and easy way I can transfer the second account desktop settings, files added, programs, etc to the account I can not cancel and then cancel the one I can? This is not a big problem, just a minor annoyance so I am living with it but........

Yes, just search in the start bar, "User Account Control" and just scroll it all the way down. You won't be bothered anymore.

Oh my! These ware GREAT! They get a slight spicy kick from the cayenne, so if youdon't like spicy, put paprika instead. But the filling is nice and creamy. Everyone in the house loved them! I served them with Beer-Can Chicken (also on this site from All You Magazine). I also served them with coleslaw. I am making this again and again!

High School Soccer is Over…. Club Soccer is a fond but distant memory ….
You have signed to play at the College level…. Are you Ready?
Imagine walking into that first college practice. Have you prepared yourself to keep up with other elite team members? You are going up against players with 2-3 years of college level playing experience already. Are you going to walk in out of shape? A step slow? Lose that burst?

How about a training program requiring minimal time commitment that produces big results? Many of you have attended our annual Soccer Combine.
House of Speed offers Soccer specific speed, agility, and conditioning training 3 times per week over the summer. Our trainers have played soccer at the college level.

3v3 Summer 2012
"3v3 Soccer" is claimed to be the fastest growing form of soccer in the World.
It is a much faster paced, and higher scoring game than traditional full sided soccer. The speed of the attack, the use of triangulation, and the strategies bring aspects of Hockey into the game. The quick shift from one end of the field to the other after a goal is scored, or upon loss of possession is reminiscent of Basketball. It requires the blending of individual skills with teamwork.
Its gain in popularity is largely because every member of the team gets equal playing time, and equal touches on the ball. All players on the field are a part of the play. Because of the speed of the game, and the fact that players are constantly in motion, there are frequent substitutions. A typical player may be rotated on six times or more in one game. There are no permanently assigned positions as there are in full sided soccer, giving each team member equal status and equal importance. This helps to develop individual skills. – Wikipedia 2012
Bring your friends and we will fill out the rest of the team with players from other clubs.
