| Saints stars go out on loan
SAINTS' financial problems came back to haunt them yesterday as they off-loaded star striker Grzegorz Rasiak and midfielder Rudi Skacel. Czech Skacel has gone to Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent move. Prolific Polish hitman Rasiak has joined Bolton on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent move. Rasiak and Skacel were two of the club's top earners. Raziak was believed to be on around £12,000 a week and Skacel is also on top wages. That saving in wages, combined with the potential fees for the two most expensive purchases in the Saints squad, proved too much for the cash-strapped club to turn down. Saints tried to put a brave face on the deal by saying it was also a way of easing the log-jam of strikers' but in reality it was another massive dent to their promotion hopes.

Isocitric Acid From Fermentation Of Sunflower Oil - A New Building ...
The citric acid cycle, one of the most important metabolic processes in our bodies, was formulated in 1937. Since then, all of the intermediates have been produced in multigram quantities - with one exception, (2R,3S)-isocitric acid. Athanassios Giannis and his team at the University of Leipzig have finally done it. As they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, their process, a combination of one biotechnological and one chemical step, starts with sunflower oil, a renewable starting material. Isocitric acid and its derivatives thus become accessible on a kilogram scale.
In the citric acid cycle, acetyl CoA, formed in the breakdown of lipids, sugars, and amino acids, is used to produce energy that is biochemically available to an organism. Carbon dioxide and water are produced in this process.
Invasive species threatening local waters
Quagga and Zebra mussels that first invaded North America in the Great Lakes region have also been getting a lot of coverage in the media lately. Quagga mussels were found in the Colorado River in early 2007 and later in several bodies of water in San Diego and Riverside counties. Both of these species of mussels, which are native to Caspian Sea and Black Sea watersheds, are of great concern because of their ability to cause severe damage to the natural environment as well as to power plants and water supply intakes.
Invasive species are having a huge impact on our resources nationwide. Please exercise great care when you are out enjoying the great outdoors and be aware of accidentally transporting these unwanted visitors.
Threat is real for Lake Tahoe
The threat to Lake Tahoe waters remains real with at least some plans put in place to prevent the invasive mussels from making their way here.
