Keasling, 41, has spent the past 13 years at the University of California, Berkeley, working out how to trick E. coli microbes into churning out synthetic and beneficial versions of plant products. He was particularly interested in molecules known as terpenoids, like artemisinin, which treats malaria; taxol, an anticancer drug; and prostratin, a potential anti-HIV compound...
...Crimson travels to Nodak just after Christmas, and for the first time in a long while, Magura will get to play in front of his old crowd. Odds are, he’s not going to light up the Grand Forks lamps with a hat trick, though he says that “making a few more plays, trying to add a little more offensive production…that would really improve my game immensely.” But goals or not, the Fighting Sioux are going to hear from Magura when they’re trying...
...poverty other places, but here, you see money," says Abdel Kader Coulibaly, a bank manager in Kayes. He says migrants' families spend all they get, rather than investing it to generate income locally. "All the money ends up with shopkeepers and traders from Bamako [the capital]," he says.

The tone of the first two movies, The Sorcerer?s Stone (2001) and The Chamber of Secrets (2002), may have appealed to a fascination with the capricious machinery of meta-natural laws at Hogwarts school. The movies? spookiness was a Halloween trick (or, if they liked it, treat) - the equivalent of a mischievous uncle shouting Boo! on the other side of the door. Just what you?d expect from director Chris Columbus, whose notion of childhood stretches from funny-scary (he directed Home Alone) to scary-funny (he scripted the evil-kids...
They generally take a softer approach on the conservative agenda. In Pennsylvania, Representative Tom Ridge won the election this year by claiming outsider status -- no easy trick for a six-term Congressman -- and supporting heavier use of the death penalty and an end to parole for criminals sentenced to life. Having done that, he could safely stick to middling stands on abortion rights and welfare reform. "My basic philosophy is a conservative one," says Ridge. "But I recognize there are times when government intervention is appropriate, much to the chagrin of some of my Republican counterparts...
