THURSDAY, Oct. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have shown that it is possible to rewrite the genome of an organism, and boost its ability to fight off viruses, thereby demonstrating the potential benefits of remaking an organism's genetic structure, the researchers say.
"This is the first time the genetic code has been fundamentally changed," study co-author Farren Isaacs, an assistant professor of molecular, cellular and developmental biology at Yale University, said in a university news release. "Creating an organism with a new genetic code has allowed us to expand the scope of biological function in a number of powerful ways."
In the new study, Isaacs and colleagues at Harvard and Yale made substitutions in the genetic alphabet of an E. coli bacterium in order to make it produce fewer proteins that are vulnerable to viruses.
The researchers hope the ability to recode an organism's genome could be used in biomanufacturing to create a new generation of proteins and polymers. These could potentially aid the development of new types of materials and new ways to combat disease.
"Since the genetic code is universal, it raises the prospect of recoding genomes of other organisms," Isaacs said in the news release. "This has tremendous implications in the biotechnology industry and could open entirely new avenues of research and applications."
The study is published in the Oct. 18 issue of the journal Science.

"Tonight, we heard the President outline his vision for putting our economy back on track and for putting Americans back to work. While I applaud his statements about the need to cut government spending, I'm wary of his open-ended calls for new taxpayer-financed investments."
"For the past two years, our Congress has charged record levels of spending to the national credit card by calling it investment and promising it would create jobs. Now, our nation faces a crushing debt burden of fourteen trillion dollars, and an economy that is still struggling to get back on its feet. Government has grown, but private sector jobs have not."
"It has become increasingly clear that our economy will remain in neutral until we put our fiscal house back in order. Businesses that are nervous about the possibility of tax increases are hesitant to begin hiring again. Congress must act quickly—and in a bipartisan fashion—to reduce spending and to develop a coherent plan to bring our debt under control."
"That's why I support efforts by our Republican leadership to cut spending back to 2008 levels. As a member of the Budget Committee, I will help craft a budget that will begin to shrink the size and intrusiveness of our federal government. We in Congress should immediately get serious about cutting spending in order to create the conditions for sustainable economic growth and job creation." –Rep. Todd Young (R-IN)

Maxim knows there comes a time when every man must learn to fend for himself. So instead of sending you on the road to fill your belly, this year's food awards are sending you into the kitchen, with help from the country's best chefs. Try not to set anything on fire.
She was lured by curiosity ("this guy can cook?") and stayed for the wine. Ok, because of the wine. Now she's in your bed, stomach growling.
CHEFS: The Franks
Frankies Spuntino, Brooklyn, NY
Women are into healthy foods, but if you want to make her truly happy, a sweet indulgence like French toast is the breakfast of champions. "The whole process is so easy it takes less than 30 minutes," say chefs Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo, who lent us the same recipe they use at their homey Brooklyn restaurant, Frankies Spuntino. "Garnish with cinnamon and fresh fruit and you're gonna look like a rock star." Or screw the garnishes—the real key is to make sure you've shopped for the essential ingredients the day before. "It's always impressive to make a lady breakfast, but if you're leaving her alone in bed for an hour to go to the store, not so good," says Falcinelli. And don't worry about looking like a putz as you pick up a bag of confectioners' sugar, a carton of heavy cream, and a tin of cinnamon. Haven't you seen Cake Boss? It's totally possible to make lady-friendly treats and still have two balls when it's over. If you've done a good job, she might even be fondling them!
Anyone can dip Wonder Bread in egg wash. But not everyone can create a French toast so sweet it'll make her jump right back into bed.
From chefs Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo
3 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup maple syrup, plus additional for serving
Dash of cinnamon
2 vanilla beans, split (or 2 tsp. vanilla extract)
1 stick butter
1/4 cup grapeseed oil
6 one-inch-thick slices day-old bread
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed
1. Combine eggs, cream, syrup, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans, add the seeds and beans (or extract) to the cream mixture, and whisk. Transfer to a saucepan and warm over medium heat until the mixture is very warm to the touch and the vanilla and cinnamon are aromatic. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes. (Can hold in fridge for 3 to 4 hours.)
2. Pour the custard mixture into a wide, shallow dish. Discard the vanilla beans.
3. Heat 1 Tbs. each of butter and oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Dredge the bread in the custard mixture for a few seconds on each side; it should absorb some but not get soggy. Put it in the pan. After about 2 minutes, dust top of bread with a thin layer of confectioners' sugar and flip it over. Add a pat of butter to the pan. Cook it for another 90 seconds to 2 minutes, then dust the side that's facing up, flip, and add a pat more butter. Repeat 2 or 3 more times, until both sides are covered in a caramel-brown crisp exterior. Remove from pan and repeat for remaining bread slices. Serve hot, with a shit-ton of maple syrup.
There's no bad time of day to serve her sparkling wine. Guru Gary Vaynerchuk shows us the best brands for any meal.
Pierre Peters $40
Everyone overpays for big-name brands of the French classic. Vaynerchuk says look for smaller producers such as Pierre Peters instead.
Conde de Subirats $10
"Cava is sparkling wine from Spain that gives you champagne style without the crazy price tag," says Vaynerchuk. "This one has fruit without over-the-top sweetness."
Riondo Prosecco $9
Italian bubbly has a touch more sweetness than champagne and a lower price point, too. This Riondo is "light, crisp, and great with food."
Venturini Baldini Lambrusco $11
This lesser known red variety was a favorite in ancient Rome. To impress her, repeat after Gary: "Nice dryness on the finish and a hint of cherry."

Chairwoman and CEO at IBM
Virginia "Ginni" Rometty is the first woman to head the company and is the current Chairman and CEO of IBM. Rometty is credited with championing IBM's growth strategy by shifting them into cloud computing and analytics businesses.
Interestingly, Rometty was offered a "big job" early in her career, but told the recruiter she had to think it over because she worried she might not have the proper experience. When she discussed the offer with her husband, he pointed out, "do you think a man would ever have answered that question that way?" There's two takeaways from this. One, you know more than you give yourself credit for, so always be confident. And two – as Sandberg puts it – make your partner a real partner. Equality on all fronts (for men and women at work and at home) is key. Had she not discussed this opportunity with her partner, she may not be where she is today.
This example really struck a chord with me because it is something I think about all of the time: the fact that women often have a lot more knowledge and experience than we give ourselves credit for. It is pretty clear that in our society women who appear overly humble are often regarded more favorably than women who express confidence in themselves. Confidence almost always gets equated with being "b*tchy" or "cold" and so when seen that way, it's not surprising that many women tend to shy away from promoting their own capabilities to the same degree that a man would. When put in situations where they are asked to do something of which they are fully capable, I often hear some of my other female friends make remarks like "well, I need more experience to do that" or "here is how I would do it but I'm not an expert or anything."
Why do we often second guess ourselves and question our qualifications? Why do we insist on convincing ourselves we can't do something?
I believe part of it is fear. I think the other part, though, is this learned behavior to constantly remain humble. It's "not feminine" to tout our capabilities and excessively promote ourselves. Oftentimes, people tend to focus more on likability when it comes to women rather than respect. You want your boss to like you. You want your teammates to like you. You want your professor to like you. It's much easier to get people to like you when you make them believe you don't think you deserve the things you earned to get to where you are. But likability does not equal respect. In our society, a man doesn't need to care if he's liked, he only cares about gaining respect. When a women tries to emulate that, she gets called a "b*tch." Thus, being "liked" seems like the next best thing. We can still seemingly get to where we want to go just by being liked…to an extent. Being liked only takes you so far. When a woman gets to a point where she needs to assert herself, people are suddenly a lot less receptive to her and her likability gets reduced. It's a very difficult transition but that also seems to be the moment when respect is gained.
I'm not saying a person can't be liked and respected at the same time. What I am saying is that we should stop caring and continue forging ahead anyway. Most people will like you if you do things from the heart and they will respect you if you assert yourself and demonstrate your knowledge without questioning yourself. You'll always face resistance but pushing past resistance builds more self-confidence and helps you gain even more respect. Someone not liking you is not the end all be all, even in the corporate world.
This is something we have to remind ourselves of often because it can be very easy and safe to fall back into the habit of just wanting to be liked. The next time you get offered an opportunity to do something greater than what you are doing now, instead of seeing it as "I don't have enough experience to do that yet," try seeing it as: "This opportunity wouldn't have been offered to me if those providing it didn't respect me or think I could do it. I know I can do it and I'll take it."

SPOKANE -- A Spokane Police officer has been federally indicted for causing bodily harm to a mentally disabled man, who died after fighting with officers in 2006.
Otto Zehm was at a North Spokane Zip Trip convenience store in March of 2006. Two people called 911, claiming he robbed an ATM. Five Spokane Police officers responded to the scene, where Zehm was tasered and restrained.
Zehm died in a Spokane hospital less than two days later. He went to the hospital about 10 minutes after the fight for breathing difficulties.
According to U.S. Attorney's, 61-year-old Officer Karl Thompson, one of the responding officers, repeatedly struck Zehm with a baton and tasered him, resulting in bodily injury. Attorneys also say Thompson made a false entry in a record investigated by federal authorities.
Combined, the charges carry a 30-year maximum sentence, and a $500,000 fine.
Thompson has been placed on paid administrative leave by the Spokane Police Department.

Meal Plan Monday… Eat out of the Freezer
Happy Monday to you! It is a new week full of new adventures and times to enjoy! Unfortunately I am starting mine at the dentist this morning and the podiatrist this afternoon. <SIGH> It could be a lot worse!
I have a question for you? Do you have a plan for the week? Do you know what you are going to eat? If not, I encourage you to sit down and plan out your meals for the week. This is a great way to start and by doing so, you will save money at the grocery store, by only purchasing what you need for the week. Be sure to shop your pantry first!
Another way to save money is to freeze your leftovers and incorporate these into your meal plan during the week. Leftovers are great for nights that you have church, sports practice, or other extra curricular activities. This week, I am feeding my family off of the leftovers in our freezer. By doing this, I only had to buy some fresh produce and a couple other items that we ran out of and I only spent $32 at the grocery store. This is my kind of shopping trip!!!
Here is our plan for the week:
Eggs and Toast
Pancakes and Green Smoothies
Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal
French Toast and Sausage
Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwiches, Fruit
Turkey Wraps, Carrot Sticks
Mini Pizzas, Fruit
Macaroni and Cheese, Hot Dogs, Carrot Sticks
PB&J Sandwiches, Cheez-It's, Fruit
Sliced Apples with Peanut Butter
Cheese Slices with Pretzels
String Cheese and Smoothies
Veggie Tray
Dried Fruit and Nuts
Chicken Stew and Shrimp Stew
Beef Roast, Rice and Gravy, Salad
Leftover Chicken or Shrimp Stew
BBQ Ribs and Rice, Salad
Sweet and Sour Meatballs, Rice, Egg Rolls
Grilled Chicken Fajita's
Happy Eating!
Linking up with Organizing Junkie:

It looks like you have a great week of food planned!
Here's my menu:

If you could choose any historical figure to give a TED Talk, who would it be and why?
This one is pretty open-ended. I'm curious to know who you would choose for a TED Talk, why, and maybe what you think their "idea worth spreading" might be.

Apr 10 2013: I don't want to be rude but he asked about historical figure. If you'de like a TED talk from a historic religen figure there are many figures that have some or complete evidance of existence, like Joshua son of Miriam (Jesus as a peace loving person), Siddahartha (Buddah) Joseph Smith, L. Ron Howard and so on.
Lee Park
Adir ZaguryApr 10 2013: I'm not offended, and I'm sorry to make you fill not at ease, but I was just baffled by the choice, because mostly even religious people don't offer a direct speak of god or count him/her/it as a historic figure.
Once again, sorry, truely. The more an opinion is diffrent, the more it is importent to express.

The Bottom Line: Accounting for Revenues and Expenditures in Intercollegiate Athletics
AbstractThis paper examines the profitability of Division I athletic programs at colleges and universities in the United States under a variety of accounting definitions of profit. The data identify several broad themes. First, a majority of athletic departments rely heavily on direct and indirect subsidization of their programs by the student body, the institution itself, and state governments in order to balance their books. Without such funding, less than a third of BCS athletic departments and no non-BCS departments are in the black. Second, athletic programs rely heavily on contributions to balance their books. Donations to athletic departments may serve as a substitute for donations to the rest of the university, lowering giving to other programs. Third, football and men's basketball programs are generally highly profitable at BCS schools, but below this top tier, fewer than 10% of football programs and 15% of men's basketball programs show a profit by any reasonable accounting measures.
