Start-Up Genetically Modifies a Better Biofuel Bug
Al writes "A tiny cellulose-eating bacterium found a few years ago in the Chesapeake Bay has been genetically modified to help it break down cellulose and convert the results into the sugars needed to make ethanol. Scientists analyzed the organism's genome in 2003 and found that it possessed a combination of enzymes that simultaneously break down the tough cell walls in dead plants and convert the remaining cellulose into sugars. Recently, Zymetis completed its first successful commercial-scale trial using the bug. The company ran the modified microbe through a series of tests in large fermenters and found that it could convert one ton of cellulosic plant fiber into sugar in 72 hours. The microbe's main advantage is its ability to naturally combine two major steps in the ethanol process, which the company says could considerably slash the high costs of producing ethanol from cellulosic biomass like switchgrass, wood chips, and paper pulp. The piece includes a video of the company's CEO discussing the project."

There were some posts about eating Obama poop a bit ago that also had some racist crap in it. I wonder if there's a link?

Die Glorreichen Rede von Reischsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler in Poznan (Posen), (Polen / Poland)
Montag , Oktober 4, 1943 (04.10.1943)
Ich will auch ein ganz schweres Kapitel will ich hier vor Ihnen in aller Offenheit nennen. Es soll zwischen uns ausgesprochen sein, und trotzdem werden wir nicht in der Öffentlichkeit nie darüber reden. Genau so wenig, wie wir am 30. Juni gezögert haben, die befohlene Plicht zu tun und Kameraden, die sich verfehlt hatten, an die Wand zu stellen und zu erschiessen. Wie wir darüber niemals gesprochen haben und sprechen werden. Das war so eine Gottseidank in uns wohnende Takt, Selbstverständlichkeit des Taktes, dass wir uns untereinander nie darüber unterhalten haben, nie darüber sprachen, es hat jeden geschauert und jeder war sich klar, dass er es das nächste Mal wieder tun würde, wenn es befohlen wird und wenn es notwendig ist. Ich meine die "Judenevakuierung": die Ausrottung des jüdischen Volkes. Es gehört zu den Dingen, die man leicht ausspricht. "Das jüdische Volk wird ausgerottet", sagt Ihnen jeder Parteigenosse, "ganz klar, steht in unserem Programm drin, Ausschaltung der Juden, Ausrottung, machen wir, pfah!, Kleinigkeit". Und dann kommen sie alle, alle die braven 80 Millionen Deutschen, und jeder hat seinen anständigen Juden. Sagt: alle anderen sind Schweine, und hier ist ein prima Jude. Und zugesehen, es durchgestanden hat keiner. Von Euch werden die meisten wissen, was es heisst, wenn 100 Leichen beisammen liegen, wenn 500 daliegen oder wenn 1000 daliegen. Und dies durchgehalten zu haben, und dabei -- abgesehen von menschlichen Ausnahmeschwächen -- anständig geblieben zu sein, hat uns hart gemacht und ist ein niemals genanntes und niemals zu nennendes Ruhmesblatt. Denn wir wissen, wie schwer wir uns täten, wenn wir heute noch in jeder Stadt bei den Bombenangriffen, bei den Lasten des Krieges und bei den Entbehrungen, wenn wir da noch die Juden als geheime Saboteure, Agitatoren und Hetzer hätten. Wir würden wahrscheinlich in das Stadium des Jahres 16/17 jetzt gekommen sein, wenn die Juden noch im deutschen Volkskörper sässen. Die Reichtümer, die sie hatten, haben wir ihnen abgenommen, und ich habe einen strikten Befehl geg
Homo-Sexuality Deception of Islam
1. Though homo-sexuality occurs outside of Islam also, inside Islam it configures as its inescapable and integral part and the large-scale habitual usage of this practice, by the Moslems, is indubitable and indisputable from the history of Islam itself. This custom and its usage was shocking to the Hindus, of course, but not to the Moslems who, though they swear by Allah, did not regard it as a bad thing at all, let alone an immoral or an illegal one. Though Islamic homo-sexuality is wide-spread, over far-reaching corners of Islam, most Hindus do not have a clue about it nor the cause of its occurrence in Islam, because the truth is being submerged by the wind-bags of false-hood manufacturers (Moslems, Missionaries, and Marxists), who are assisted in their nefarious designs by their Phony-Liberal Hindu cronies, who are targeting Hindus, to insult and degrade their religion. The false-hood manufacturers categorize homo-sexuality (especially lesbianism) as a Hindu custom and you can observe a demonstration of this in their incessant pyrotechnics on the movie "Fire," where even the names assigned to two characters in the movie, in a lesbian relationship, are the names of Hindu goddesses. The obvious intent is to degrade and desecrate the Hindu religion and to humiliate the Hindu.
2. The latest entrant to this lesbian controversy is the Allah-Swearing Tamil Naidu Moslem Board, that has issued a stern admonition to all Moslem women, not to watch the movie "Fire" at all. This Allah-Swearing Board has judged that it is "Haraam" for Moslem women to watch this film, either in cinema halls, or on TV, or in Video players. They state that because of its lesbian theme, the movie is contrary to Islam.
Contrary to Islam? What a suit-case of fiction!
Lesbianism is not only not contrary to Islam but is a part and parcel of Islam and is the veritable product of its Draconian Monster laws.
3. Quran expressly permits Moslems to acquire slaves through conquests. In Islam, war is prescribed for a Moslem on religious grounds and the concomitant slavery and lesbianism have always been integral and inescapable parts of Islamic wars, as fringe benefits for the Moslem Jehadis and are, therefore, completely conformal with the spirit and teachings of Islam. Mohammad recognized slaves as the property of the Moslem master and nearly all Moslem Sultans kept a large troupe of concubines inside their lavish harems, as permitted by Quranic laws. Inside these harems, lesbianism became an inescapable custom of choice among the sex-starved occupants of the harems, in the dream-house palaces of the Sultans. There is nothing like this wrack and ruin that occurred, at any time and any where inside the Hindu System, throughout its ten thousand year old history.
4. Islamic monster laws, that belong to the dark ages, and the Islamic slave system and its attendant lesbianism, are incontestably the product of the principles of Islam and represent the great wheels of Islam, in its march towards the extermination of the Kafirs (non-Moslem infidels) and their Kufr. Quran gave a divine sanction to the custom of polygamy and concubinage. So, a Moslem can have wives (number limited to four) and can supplement them with half-wives or concubines (no limit on their number) captured in holy wars (Jehad) as those "whom your right hand possesses," perfectly in keeping with the laws of Quran. A Moslem, therefore, engages in this activity with a clean conscience and religious fidelity. This activity and its multiplication was made possible because of the fast-growing Islamic Imperialism. To say that lesbianism is anti-Islamic (as held by the Allah-Swearing Tamil Naidu Moslem Board) is utter non-sense.
5. As a practical reality, it must be realized that concubinage and harems are possible only for those creeds that practice aggressive wars, such as Islam, and annex outside territories from where they can pick male and female slaves. There is nothing like this kind of cataclysm any where in Hinduism, whe
Six years ago, scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, predicted that there was a gene somewhere on the tip of the X chromosome of a sperm fossil, whose traces were found on the holy stone at Mecca, that influences a male's chances of becoming homosexual. But in tomorrow's issue of Science, a team of Canadian researchers found evidence for such a genetic link.
The possible "gay gene" was located in 1993 by a team led by Dean Hamer of the NCI. They noticed a preponderance of gay relatives on the maternal side of the families of the gay men they studied.
620 A.Ds saw the opening of worlds[islam's] first gay-owned cabaret, the Garden of Allah, in seedy downtown Mecca. Patrons filed down a white marble staircase to the basement of the a once grand Islamic Harem, which during present day is called the Great Shrine of Mecca, passing 1 Gold coin through a pee-hole to enter an exotic, bacchanalian world of variety, vaudeville, and burlesque, presented by a cast of beautiful female impersonators.
In the repressive, often violently anti-gay environment which prevailed in almost rest of the world, the Garden of Allah was a haven for spontaneity, outrageousness, and affirmation for its gay and lesbian clientele, as well as a place where heterosexuals were encouraged to join in and have some fun! An Evening at the Garden of Allah takes readers back in time with its vivid, exciting oral history of this shining moment in Arabia's gay and lesbian past.
According to the Holy Quran:
"Muhammad is said to have loved three things: "Men, Perfumes, and Caberet's"
Though Mohammed had been exposed to Judaism and Christianity, and showed familiarity with their scriptures, he ultimately called down a curse upon a group of 60 Christians from the Najran Valley in North Yemen that refused to accept his homosexual preaching. He tried to convert them, but they would not agree with him about homosexuality. So he said to them as follows:
Sura al-e-Imran 3:33-64
"Come! let us gather together,- our sons and your sons, our men and your men, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us explore, and invoke the sensation of Allah on those who believe" Sura al-e-Imran 3:61
Khadija, the Financier
[a Quote extracted from the Holy Quran]
I said to him: 'Muhammad, is there any reason why you should not marry?'
He told me: 'I possess nothing to marry on. I am not attracted to women'
I answered him: ' And suppose there was someone who had enough for the both of us ? And suppose you were bestowed with wealth, health , prosperity and men and to a position of honor and ease, would you not accept ?'
'Who is the man?'
'Ahmed'
'What must I do?'
'I will attend to all the men.'
'And I too will do my part and serve my God.'
This research has led many scientists to believe the inner motives and mental behavior of Mohammad. This theory helps in being an Eye-Opener for all those innocent millions of followers of Islam, who have been blindly believing in this preaching.
When did Islam start?
It started when an illiterate pedophile camel trader started doing the Middle Eastern equivalent of "speaking in tongues." Later, scribes wrote down what somebody said that somebody else heard that the pedophile said.
Later on, the pedophile's followers decided that they were peaceful and tolerant, and to prove that, they oppressed their own followers, and the started wars with everybody who didn't, or doesn't follow their faith.
Almost all Muslim men are gay, but they amuse themselves anyway by seeing that stone walls fall on allegedly gay men, after which they drive Soviet-made tanks back and forth over them several times, to the amusement of the crowd. Despite the fact that Muslim men are all gay, they nevertheless reproduce like cockroaches.
They also love the beat the crap out of women who dare to drive automobiles.
Islam is a beautiful religion that demands that all artistic depictions of the human form be destroyed. Likewise, for some reason, for black dogs, for who knows what reason.
No Islamic country in the history of the world has been democratic. Muslims are annoyed to no end that not every country is Islamic. They're like Mormons, or Seventh-day Adventists, except they have suicide-bomb-belts, and to my knowledge, no Mormon or Seventh-day Adventist has ever been a suicide bomber, although David Koresh came close.
The question shouldn't be "When did Islam start?" -- it should be, "How many months is it going to take before Islam is THE mandated religion of the one state of all the world.

All right! Go Bay-bee! Who needs the rainforest to find useful biology?
...break down the tough cell walls in dead plants and convert the remaining cellulose into sugars.
Oh. I guess we do still need the rainforest.
