"Recent estimates suggest that it would take about 33 months to clear all troubled mortgages at the current pace of liquidations," wrote Merrill Lynch analyst Michael Hanson in a recent note. Alex Barron, founder and senior research analyst at Housing Research Center LLC, has similar worries: "We need to be concerned about the homes that are significantly underwater but haven't yet defaulted," he says. "It may take another two, three or four years before we're well on our way towards a real recovery." (See pictures...

...researchers said that scientists hope to use cyanobacteria as a model organism to create genetically-modified designer bacteria capable of producing biofuels. Greater carbon fixation efficiency in cyanobacteria would increase the efficiency of biofuel production in these bacteria, according to the research team...
