Population and distribution[edit]
Most Chinese who are living in Japan reside in major cities such as Osaka, Yokohama, and Tokyo. Chinatowns were developed in the cities of Kobe and Yokohama. There are Chinese schools that teach the Chinese language. A study that was conducted in 1995 estimated that the Chinese population in Japan was ~150,000, among whom between 50,000 to 100,000 could speak Chinese.[2] In 2000, Japanese governmental statistics revealed that there were 335,575 Chinese residents in Japan.[3] These numbers only include Chinese who do not yet have Japanese citizenship, rather than all people of Chinese descent.
Pre-modern era[edit]
A Chinese legend of uncertain provenance states that Xu Fu, a Qin Dynasty court sorcerer, was sent by Qin Shi Huang to Penglai Mountain (Mount Fuji) in 219 BC to retrieve an elixir of life. Xu could not find any elixir of life and was reluctant to return to China because he knew he would be sentenced to death, Xu instead stayed in Japan.[4]
However, Japan's first verifiable Chinese visitor was the Buddhist missionary Hui Shen, whose 499 AD visit to an island east of China known as Fusang, typically identified with modern-day Japan, was described in the 7th-century Liang Shu. Chinese people are also known to have settled in Okinawa during the Sanzan period; the people of the village of Kumemura, for example, are alleged to all be descended from Chinese immigrants.[5]
Modern era[edit]
In 1906, more than six thousand Chinese students lived in Japan. Most of them resided in the district of Kanda in Tokyo.[6]
The term shin-kakyō refers to people of Chinese descent who immigrated to Japan from Taiwan and Mainland China.
Foreign students[edit]
Many famous Chinese intellectuals have studied in Japan, among them Sun Yat-sen, Lu Xun, and Zhou Enlai.
The Industrial 'training scheme' used to bring Chinese workers to Japan has been criticized by lawyers as exploitation, after several deaths.[7]
Long-term residents and their descendants[edit]
Many Japanese war orphans left behind in China after World War II have migrated to Japan with the assistance of the Japanese government, bringing along their Chinese spouses and children.
Chinese restaurants in Japan serve a fairly distinct style of Chinese cuisine. Though in the past Chinese cuisine would have been primarily available in Chinatowns such as those in port cities of Kobe, Nagasaki, or Yokohama, Japanese-style Chinese cuisine is now commonly available all over Japan. As Japanese restaurants often specialise in just one sort of dish, cuisine is focused primarily on dishes found within three distinct types of restaurants: ramen restaurants, dim sum houses, and standard Chinese-style restaurants.
As of 2008 there are five Chinese day schools in Japan:[8] two in Yokohama and one each in Kobe, Osaka, and Tokyo.[9] Three are oriented towards the Republic of China on Taiwan while two are oriented towards Mainland China.[8] In Japanese the PRC-oriented schools are called tairiku-kei, and the ROC-oriented schools are taiwan-kei.[10] The Taiwan-oriented schools teach Traditional Chinese and Bopomofo while the Mainland-oriented schools teach Simplified Chinese and Hanyu Pinyin. The Taiwan-oriented schools, by 2008, also began teaching Simplified Chinese.[8]
As of 1995 most teachers at these schools are ethnic Chinese persons who were born in Japan. By that year there were increasing numbers of Japanese families sending their children to Chinese schools. Other students at Chinese schools are Japanese with mixed Chinese-Japanese parentage, Japanese children with Chinese parents, and returnees from abroad.[11]
Sun Yat-sen established the Yokohama Chinese School in 1898. In 1952 it split into the Mainland-aligned Yokohama Yamate Chinese School and the Taiwan-aligned Yokohama Overseas Chinese School. The Kobe Chinese School is also oriented towards Mainland China.[8] The Osaka Chinese School is located in Naniwa-ku, Osaka.[12] There is also the Tokyo Chinese School.
The Chūnichi Shinpo, a biweekly paper, is published in Chinese and Japanese. The Chūbun and Zhongwen Dabao, both weekly newspapers, and about 28 other Chinese newspapers are published in Tokyo. In addition the Kansai Kabun Jihō, published in Chinese and Japanese, is based in the Osaka area.[9]
Ethnic relations[edit]
During his time in office, former Tokyo governor Shintaro Ishihara publicly used controversial terms such as sangokujin to refer to Chinese staying illegally in Japan, and implied that they might engage in rioting and looting in the aftermath of a disaster.[13]

Several education officials in Mississippi say the $29.50 per student charge for the new Common Core State Standards math and language arts assessments are cheaper than current exams and offer a fuller picture of student achievement. Changes that some education officials say they welcome include the online testing format that requires students to use critical-thinking skills. "The students will be able to interact with graphs, manipulate shapes, click on an excerpt of an essay and then a video with the task of typing an essay explaining the similarities/differences of the content they read or watched," said Richard Bailko, with the Mississippi Department of Education's Office of Student Assessment.

I would barely make any more money by including it with the PS3, so I thought why not have it as as an extra controller for the PC? Its wireless so that would be cool. I guess I wont be too disappointed it I cant get it to work, I have an xbox controller adapter and 2 wired 360 controlleres (YAY Expertzone is awsome! Free hardware!)

"This MHC region capture technology had been optimized by advanced probe design and capturing methods with Roche NimbleGen, which greatly increases the coverage and capture efficiency of MHC region compared to all other approaches we have attempted in the past. Meanwhile, the pooling technology has been improved, which not only can efficiently capture multiple samples in a single reaction, but it also significantly reduces the cost. I believe the combination of this revolutionary capture technology with high-throughput sequencing technologies will help advance research and development of new medicines for human diseases." said Jiang.

How to follow up professionally after job interview revealed
Have you appeared for the interview of a much coveted job but haven't heard back yet? Here are ways to follow up after a job interview.
Allyson Willoughby, senior vice president of people at Glassdoor, has revealed that following up in a professional manner shows continued interest in a job opportunity but candidates must be cautious and not become a burden to the hiring manager, Mashable reported.
The best way is to ask about their timeline for making a hiring decision before you leave the interview, which help you to properly time your follow-up attempts and in the meanwhile, be updated about the recent news about the company.
According to Nathan Mirizio, content marketing writer at The Resumator, using the last form of communication that you had with a recruiter is the best medium for following up.
If the company has given you a set time frame and exceeded it by longer than a week, a well-written, concise and friendly follow-up note is reasonable.
Chris Fields, a human resources consultant and expert resume writer at ResumeCrusade.com, reminds job seekers that focusing on other opportunities is the best way to move forward in case you don't hear back.

Additional Information
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

1st pitch up slabs although not technically hard was bold with hardly any gear to be found and considerable covering of unhelpful powder. Crux pitch very enjoyable and good for the grade with the odd bit of pleasing in-situ to be dug out.

After nearly a decade, a federal judge has ruled in favor of Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus over claims of abuse to circus elephants.
The lawsuit was brought by the ASPCA, Born Free USA (Animal Protection Institute), Animal Welfare Institute, Fund for Animals along with former Ringling elephant trainer Tom Rider and accused the circus of chaining and confining elephants, along with using bullhooks in violation of the Endangered Species Act.
US District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled in favor of Ringling's owner, Feld Entertainment Inc., despite there being no shortage of evidence presented in the case, on the grounds that Rider and the animal protection groups involved lacked legal standing to bring a lawsuit to federal court over the issue.
IDA and PETA reported the following as some of the evidence was presented at trial:
Even CEO Kenneth Feld swore under oath that elephants are routinely treated in the manner that the defendants claimed.
Ringling and Feld are pleased with the outcome, claiming that they're working to protect elephants. Trainers also claim that bullhooks, or 'guides' as they like to call them, are humane and have been used to train elephants for decades. They can call it a magical fairy wand if they want, but it's still a stick with a steel hook on the end used explicitly to cause pain to sensitive and intelligent animals for the sole purpose of getting them to perform ridiculous tricks for circus goers.
While the outcome of the case is sad and disappointing, it is still the first case ever brought under the Endangered Species Act to protect an endangered species in captivity, and is yet another step in bringing the plight of circus animals to the public's attention.
Every person who decides not to participate in this type of cruelty by avoiding the circus, or by telling others about the abuse circus animals live through, is bringing this cruelty one step close to the end.

I can't believe this is happening to these poor creatures who have no voice or choice. I'm completely disgusted!
That stupid judge
US District Judge Emmet Sullivan has no compassion for these abused elephants. He could care less what happens to them. He is a jerk! Someone has padded his pockets big time!
The judge was obviously bribed, how could any person with intelligence come to a decision like that. Does the judge have animals of his own?? I hope he treats them better than the elephants
It's pretty obvious that the judge was in cahoots with someone from Ringlings.
As long as our officals are blinded by either bribes or total indifference there will be no change for the better for the other inhabitants of this planet.
My heart breaks for them and one day these a**h***s will get what is coming to them.
Hopefully a small, smelly, cage and careless treatment (hopefully worse) for the rest of their miserable lives.
Keep campaigning and raise the awareness of all people. Write to the politicians and also the newspapers. Keep up the pressure and get more publicity. Bad publicity will force circuses to stop this cruel and barbaric practice. Its not enough to wring ones hands and lament. ACTION is what is needed - so email your representatives and demand they take action NOW!
I would like to parade these judges around the rind chain them up see how they like it...oh ya and feed them when you feel like it..asses
this is appalling! I never take my kids to the circus where there are animals I think the days of animals in circuses are coming to an end ..even though this decision was pathetic the majority of people are boycotting circuses with live animals , these animals should be retired to a wildlife park like we have in Australia
Judge Sullivan should be given a course in common sense using Ringlings Bros. 'humane' teaching methods.
I'll volunteer my time to teach the course.

|Sex & Intimacy / 3:27 PM - Friday April 25, 2008
my girlfriend has slept with over 30 guys
So I had a conversation with my girlfriend of two months about how many people we've slept with. I'm kind of regretting even having the conversation now. She told me she has slept with around 30 guys between the age of 20 and 24. She's 28 now and had a relationship for the past 4 years, so has slowed down and grown out of that lifestyle. I'm not one to judge someone by their past, butd does this seem excessive and would this make you feel uneasy? How would you react?
- Asked by Male, 22-25
This is why it is said that you shouldn't discuss things like this. Any number into the double digits would make the average person uncomfortable, whether it was a phase for that person or not. What you feel isn't wrong, but now that you've talked about it, you have to choose whether it will make or break your opinion of her.
- Response by wudaddy, A Mr. Married Guy, Male, 36-45, Dallas, Law Enforcement
buddy youre a dumbass for asking that. However for your question, no... that does not seem too excessive. You need to just realize that life existed before you, but now that you are here in her (she is in yours) life you just need to make the best of everything and love. Just forget about it!
- Response by brandon35, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 36-45, Charlotte, Teaching
Community Rating: Community Star
It seems like a whole lot to me in 4 years, 48 months she had 30 guys. I just couldn't be with someone who has been with that many guys. I would most likely leave. I know alot of people on here dont think its anyone ones business but I feel I have the right to know.
- Response by tnix123, A Mr. Nice Guy, Male, 36-45, New York, Managerial
think if it this way she was sleeping with all those guys and she gave all the up for you buddy. kind of flattering, when you consider it, its not about what people do before they meet you that should count,, its what she does while she with you that counts, since she has been with you she has calmed down, so apparently you are giving her something all those other guys didnt, cause you got her to sit still. congrats buddy you should toot your horn, you have earned it ....
- Response by mrsneaky74, A Guy Critical, Male, 36-45
I'm 42 and I've slept with 5 men.
- Response by suess, An Alternative Girl, Female, 46-55
Sounds like alot to me. Damn, I'm 40 and she has me beat. I guess you shouldn't have that conversation if you're not ready for the answer. Sorry.
- Response by rexy67, A Sweet Sarah, Female, 46-55, Who Cares?
No number other than 0 or 1 would have made you happy. Forget you had the convo and put it out of your mind. This is one question that should never be answered/
- Response by keldog4511, A Creative, Female, 46-55, Philadelphia, Managerial
For the life of me, I will never, ever, ever understand why people decide it is a good idea to disclose how many sexual partners they've had in the past. I have always subscribed to the don't ask, don't tell theory. It has yet to let me down. I know that the number of partners I've had may seem excessive to some, but it doesn't take away from the fact that when I am in a relationship I am 100% faithful.
- Response by jess2481, A Life of the Party, Female, 36-45, Cincinnati, Other Profession
The only reason you care is because her number is higher than yours. If you'd been with 40 you wouldn't care about her number.
- Response by jlees, A Guy Critical, Male, 29-35
And how many have you slept with????
- Response by barbb, An Alternative Girl, Female, Who Cares?, Other Profession
To be hoenst, yes a little. No one would be particularly happy with that information. But like you have said, she has grown out of that lifestyle. She is a different person now than she was before, and the main thing is that she was honest with you when you asked this question. If theres any way you can put this behind you, please do, and get to know her for the person she is now.
- Response by skittles27, A Player, Female, 29-35, Student
you should send this text to your girlfriend "ALPHA KENNY BODY"
- Response by An Intellectual Guy, Male, 46-55
For me personally, that seems excessive. I'm older than her and have only been with a handful of men, but I don't judge others. It sounds like she is capable of committing, and that's what should matter.
- Response by myndseye711, A Cool Mom, Female, 29-35, Managerial
File this under...'If you can't handle it, don't ask!' Hey, I would just let it go. If you don't, you are NOT going to have a relationship. The past is the past..we all have one.
- Response by ddn1958, A Sportif, Female, Who Cares?, Who Cares?
Sounds like you opened up yourself a can of worms, no pun intended, but hey you asked. Lets say maybe for some reason she was not telling the truth and wanted to see your reaction, or maybe she thought you would be impressed and not feel uneasy.
- Response by blessedladee, A Thinker, Female, 56-65, Philadelphia, Administrative
Well, as a rule, you probably shouldn't ask questions you don't want answers to. :) For that reason, I don't ask that question. I certainly ask about diseases/been checked recently...that stuff...but I stay away from the numbers game.
- Response by sm913, A Career Woman, Female, 29-35, Financial / Banking
one can be safe and respect one's self and not have one night stands and still have that many partners in the course of 4 years. that's less than one partner a month, but, probably, it would be 3 or 4 partners till finding mister "right now", and 4 months later breaking up with him and going through three or four people again to find the next mr. right now.
- Response by js800, A Thinker, Female, 29-35, Chicago, Student
Not something I would have asked myself. My wife and I don't even discuss that subject. We realize that we both had separate lives and somethings don't need to be answered in my opinion. For the sake of discussion, we have said that we can count the number including each other on two hands. I was in a 7 year relationship before her. Quality not Quantity I say. I would be uncomfortable knowing her past and she would mine.
- Response by asudad, A Guy Critical, Male, 46-55, Charlotte, Self-Employed
Against WHAT do you measure excessive? Do you use social norming or the pressure put on people to not engage in the kinds of sex they might like to? I've had well over 60 partners across my life time. I've never had an STD. I've been in monogamous relationships that have lasted 1, 2, 4, and 15 years. But here's the deal. My experience makes me loathe to put up with much bullshit from men. If I'm not getting my needs met, you aren't getting what you WANT from me....pure and simple. A man is not able to make me believe that bad or barely average sex is great sex because I know better. Over the top great sex doesn't always come in the form of a man suitable for a long term relationship. And my experience makes for unparalleled mastery in the bedroom that I only share after great discernment at this stage in my life. I may have alot of mileage on me but I'm a classic model most men would die to drive around the block.
- Response by joybird, A Creative, Female, Who Cares?, Therapist
It's probably something you should not have brought up, but your gf revealed that she was quite a swinger during her younger years. But don't worry about it, at least your gf was honest with you. I dated a woman, who was a lot older than your gf, who told she had slept with "about 30 guys." It did not surprise me.
- Response by betterbird, A Creative, Male, 46-55, San Francisco, Administrative
Maybe you can be in a Valtrex commercial with her. Cross your fingers!
- Response by louie76, A Guy Critical, Male, 56-65, Chicago
u need to remember hun that the past is the past who she is and what she does now it what should be important, im sure shes larned from her experiences

In all honesty, I wouldn't let it bother me because everyone has a 'life' before we meet them and sometimes during those times when we're 'living', we make mistakes and dumb choices...but the bottom line is that you said she 'has slowed down and grown out of that lifestyle' and that's what should be most important...when a person can change their lifestyles, it's a show that they have 'matured' and 'learned' from their past...love her for who she is now because I bet she didn't love herself when she was out doing what she was doing...I went through a similar thing in my early adult years until my early 20s, but I changed and I'm sure she has too...:D

Did you ask for any reason other than that you wanted to compare notes? What does it matter?...I would only want to know if any of those 30 happened while she was supposed to be in a serious committed relationship with one of the other ones, which would speak to her character. Otherwise, I would not call that a 'lifestyle,' but a function of being single and having a healthy libido.

After five faithful years, it's over.
We're through. My love and devotion apparently count for nothing. TiVo and I are no longer an item.
Comcast has come between us.
The slide toward a messy breakup began several weeks ago when I finally consented to let Comcast convert my cable box to digital. The upstairs TV joined the digital revolution when the rest of the metro area did, more than a year ago, but I delayed switching out the living-room cable box where the TiVo diligently hummed. I held out for months, fearing things might not go well.
Last month, I paid Comcast to install digital cable. The cable guy peered at the TiVo box as if he'd never seen such a thing.
Once I went digital, my TiVo digital video recorder refused to change channels. I called, got instructions, tried various code numbers, and yet the channels would not budge. One box wasn't talking to the other.
The problem, Comcast and TiVo agreed, was that I needed IR blasters - plastic gizmos to translate the infrared signal from remote to box. I ordered a set from TiVo's website, and attached them per the instructions. No go.
Next I paid cash under the table to a Comcast employee. He was very courteous, stopping by the house after his normal work hours. He didn't get angry even when I subsequently pestered him at home by phone. TiVo still wouldn't work.
When I called Comcast again, a customer service representative said flatly that TiVo doesn't work with their system.
I made a feeble effort to read about the problem in geek magazine articles on the Internet. Don't tell me about "interface," just make it work.
I called TiVo's toll-free number, working my way through the branches of the automated phone tree to reach actual humans. They directed me to Sony, maker of my TiVo box. I called, reading back-case numbers, model numbers and phone numbers.
I sat on hold listening to excruciating uptempo pop. I talked to representatives, their supervisors and their supervisors' supervisor. No way would my old Sony TiVo box be compatible with my new Comcast cable box.
Although I have a lifetime TiVo service deal, purchased for $300 five years ago, I had evidently missed by eight months the chance to be "grandfathered" into the service, which would allow TiVo to give me an upgrade for just the price of the box. To upgrade now, I'd have to pay the monthly fee as well.
I'm not proud to say the TiVo rep had a tough time calming me at this point.
"I promise you we will figure this out," he said.
Twenty minutes later it was clear there was no figuring anything.
"You're telling me my only alternative is to buy a Comcast DVR?" I asked, my voice rising.
"I would never tell you to do that, but I can't help you," the TiVo rep said.
I gave up and ordered a Comcast DVR, renting the box for a $9.99 monthly fee.
I was the first on my block to download, fast-forward and pause with TiVo. Now, digital video recorders are much more common. The industry says more than 20 percent of U.S.households will have one by 2008.
I could have upgraded to the TiVo Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder, "the first stand-alone TiVo product that is HD compatible," for $799. That would let me record two shows in HD at once, while watching a third pre-recorded show.
But that price doesn't include service.
The toughest moment was disconnecting the TiVo and placing it tenderly in the corner of my cluttered office. I promised we'd stay in touch, but knew the electricity was gone.
Now, after one week with the Comcast DVR, I admit I am more fickle than I knew.
I miss the ability to jump forward 30 seconds with TiVo, rather than fast-forwarding.
But I love being able to record one show and watch another. I love the ability to watch a small picture in the corner of the screen while I program future recordings. I love having 70 hours of time to fill, as opposed to the 30 on the old TiVo.
I professed brand loyalty to TiVo for years. So I'm surprised at the deep contentment I've found with my new DVR.
Besides, my new love doesn't emit that annoying hum.

Clearing the DVR fog
What's a DVR? Imagine a VCR on steroids, a machine that will record, play back and fast-forward your favorite TV shows, without using tape.
However, all digital video recorders are not created equal. A few comparisons:
Cost: About $350 plus $13 per month for TiVo service (or $300 for product lifetime service)
Is it for you?: The ease of use has led to terrific brand loyalty. Store up to 140 hours' worth; the new Series 3 can store 32 hours' worth of HD programming. It allows you to pick different quality settings for more space. The Wish List function is an asset: specify any actor, title or genre and the box will record appropriate programs.
Comcast DVR
Cost: About $10 per month in addition to digital cable subscription
Is it for you?: The integrated cable box/DVR is the most economical choice if you just want to recorvd favorite shows, skip commercials, pause, rewind and store up to 70 hours' worth. It has fewer features than TiVo (no Wish List function, for instance), but it's also less expensive.
Integrated satellite/DVR
Cost: $300 plus $5 per mo. for service
Is it for you?: DirectTV and DishNet subscribers can get basic DVRs with their satellite service, but they cost almost as much as the more sophisticated TiVo version. DirectTV's HD version will record 200 hours of standard definition or 50 hours of HD.

"There aren't any silver bullets" in regards to biofuels, declared John Sheehan of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and former head of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's algae research program until it was closed in 1996. Recently released research on algae suggests Sheehan is right. Researchers from the University of Virginia (UVA) in Charlottesville examined energy costs and the environmental impact of using algae for fuel, reported Science News, and said algae as biofuel comes with "tradeoffs."
The UVA researchers compared the results of their study with studies on corn, canola, and switchgrass. They found that "algae farms need to minimize use of fertilizer and fresh water to compete with other biofuel plants." Putting algae plants next to wastewater treatment plants would be one way to minimize water use, the article said, and in addition, the .nutrients from wastewater sewage could be used instead of fertilizer.
Algae as biofuel can be energy intensive and release more carbon dioxide emissions than it would potentially save, according to the UVA research. However, algae as biofuel is still in its infancy said co-author Andres Clarens of UVA. "Corn and canola we've been growing for a long time. We've gotten pretty good at it," said Clarens.
"The energy problem is the most fundamental, most difficult challenge we have faced for a long time," Sheehan said. "After 150 years of punching a hole in the ground and getting fuel to come out as a liquid, it is not going to easy."
Perhaps the problems the UVA researchers discovered with algae as biofuel will be solved with more research. The Department of Energy announced on January 14 the investment of $44 million for algae-based fuels. Even ExxonMobil Corp. is pumping money into algae research, $600 million worth. Last summer, ExxonMobile announced its partnership with scientist Craig Venter's Synthetic Genomics Inc. to develop algae into fuel.
Algae biofuel companies respond to UVA research
Mary Rosenthal, executive director of the Algae Biomass Association said the UVA research is not based on current information. "We expect such research to be based on current information, valid assumptions and proven facts. Unfortunately, this report falls short of those standards with its use of decades old data and errant assumptions of current production and refining technologies."
"It's absolutely right if you think of it as last generation algae," said Riggs Eckelberry, CEO of the algae biofuel company OriginOil. "But we've got to make this stuff viable now."
Clarens said he used the most recent data available to him. The problem is that biofuel companies "keep their research a closely guarded secret," as a New York Times article put it.
"Everybody talks about the next generation – what is the next generation?" Clarens asked. "I'd be happy to model it if somebody produces it."
A partnership between the UVA researchers and algae biofuel companies may be in the works. Rosenthal called Clarens last week, and Clarens said that if companies make data available to him, he will do another study.
"It sounds like that could happen, where we could work together and produce more research," he said.
Using E.coli to make biofuel?
A study published last week in the journal Nature said researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Joint BioEnergy Institute engineered E.colil bacteria to produce fatty acid derived biofuel from plant sugar.
"The primary goal was to get closer to being able to make a viable renewable biofuel that could be directly burned in today's engines without modifications," said Eric Steen, a researcher at the institute and an author of the study.
According to the study, E.coli is suitable for biofuel production partly because it is "exceptionally amenable to genetic manipulation.
E.coli has the "icky factor" when you first hear its name, but if researchers are able to make cost efficient biofuel with a low impact to the environment, bring on the icky.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Forgive the scattered nature of this post, please.
Simply put, we need to consume less fuel, less energy, less time trying to make energy. There is conservation and balance in all things. If we find a suitable new, cost-effective fuel, we'll simply use that until we're *forced* to find something more viable. We need to turn back. We're running much too fast at a wall that won't move, no matter what kind of car we drive. We're going to crash. Oil, algae, ethanol - it's all just another way we're feeding an addiction. We need more jobs in the U.S. We need millions more farmers. We need to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. We need to reduce our dependence on fuel in general.
Spread out, keep it clean, go back to what works. Our progress has been so fast that we can't keep up. Agrarian civilization is still not even the most ideal balancing act, but it's sustainable, for now. We can keep up with that. Hunter-gatherers lived in balance with nature. Nature maintained the balance. The more we "step on" nature, the more likely it becomes that we will cause our own extinction. I'm not even opposed to this, but it will be sad to see it. We are not killing the planet, but we are convincing her to kill us, and many other species as well.
Find a way to use less, much less, everything. We don't need to eat as much, burn as much, build as much, bitch as much.
Water, food, shelter, medicine. These basic needs must be met. Fewer people means more for every
