"Isaacs and his colleagues systematically replaced one three-letter sequence in the genome of Escherichia coli with another.
Three-letter genetic sequences are known as codons, and they can either code for an amino acid – the building blocks of proteins – or act as stop signals. A cell's internal machinery reads copies of the genome, and as it goes along it links the corresponding amino acids together into protein strings until it reaches a stop codon.
The researchers sifted through the E. coli genome and identified all 314 TAG stop codons. They then designed fragments of single-stranded DNA that, with the assistance of viral enzymes, would replace the TAG stop codons with TAA, another stop codon.
Isaacs submerged a billion E. coli cells in pools of water brimming with the bits of DNA and viral enzymes, and zapped the mixture with electricity, opening pores in the bacteria's cell membranes for the DNA to pass through. The process is known as multiplex automated genome engineering, or MAGE."

New High-Bandwidth Interplanetary Wireless Communication Signal OAM: Orbital Angular Momentum Beam [AKA Badass Tourbillion Twisting Lazer Radio]
"If your slow Internet connection has you frustrated, just be glad you don't have to communicate with a probe on Mars. Even with new technology, scientists will be able to transmit only about 270 megabits per second between the two planets, not a lot of information when you're talking about superhigh-resolution photos. But a new study suggests that by twisting laser light, scientists could pack enough information into interplanetary beams to speed up extraterrestrial communications to the multi-gigabit level."

Scientists Unveil New Tools for Rewriting the Code of Life
Awesome Scary is probably how I would describe
the leap in Genome Tools we now currently possess! "Researchers have unveiled genome-engineering technologies capable of fundamentally re-engineering genomes from the nucleotide to the megabase scale. Treating the chromosome as both an editable and an evolvable template, the researchers have demonstrated methods to rewrite a cell's genome through powerful new tools for biotechnology, energy and agriculture."

Major Breakthrough in Telecommunications Field: Nanofabricated Superlattices Constituting Stacks of Photonic Crystals Have Zero Phase Refractive
Yahtzee
!_"They have shown that it is possible for light (electromagnetic waves) to propagate from point A to point B without accumulating any phase, spreading through the artificial medium as if the medium is completely missing in space. This is the first time simultaneous phase and zero-index observations have been made on the chip-scale and at the infrared wavelength."_!
"We're very excited about this. We've engineered and observed a metamaterial with zero refractive index," said Kocaman. "What we've seen is that the light disperses through the material as if the entire space is missing. The oscillatory phase of the electromagnetic wave doesn't even advance such as in a vacuum -- this is what we term a zero-phase delay."

FitBit Fitness and Calorie Tracker Fubars By Adding Users Sexual Activities Searchable Online To Anyone At Anytime [:D oops]
"Yikes. Users of fitness and calorie tracker Fitbit may need to be more careful when creating a profile on the site. The sexual activity of many of the users of the company’s tracker and online platform can be found in Google Search results, meaning that these users’ profiles are public and searchable. You can click here to access these results. The Next Web reported this earlier this morning.
As you may know, the Fitbit Tracker is an compact wearable device that clips onto clothing or slips into a pocket and captures, through accelerometer technology, information about daily health activities, such as steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, exercise intensity levels and sleep quality. Users can also log nutrition, weight, additional activities (including sexual activity) and other health information on the site in order to gain a complete picture of their health.
So why are Fitbit users’ profiles able to be searchable in Google? It’s not really Fitbit’s fault. When you create a profile, the default privacy setting allows profiles to be found in search results (Google, Bing, etc). If you don’t unclick this setting, it will obviously make your profile public for anyone to find."

Holodeck From Star Trek Tech May Well Become The Next Generation Gear For U.S. Intelligence Community Futures
"The holodeck: a room that can create an interactive 3-D hologram of just about any environment you can think of. It’s been the dream of Star Trek nerds ever since The Next Generation debuted on TV. Well brace yourself, Trekkies, and try not to soil those Starfleet unitards in glee. The U.S. intelligence community had heard your prayers and is now taking a step towards building its own holographic simulator.
Iarpa, the intelligence community’s advanced research outfit, announced this month that’s it’s embarking on a Synthetic Holographic Observation (SHO) program, a quest to build a system that lets intel analysts collaborate with each other using interactive 3-D holographic displays.
Before you get too excited, SHO isn’t going to be an exact replica of the holodeck. Instead of a geometrically patterned room on board the Enterprise, the holograms will come from workstations here on earth. While Iarpa’s announcement promises “dynamic, color, high-performance” holograms, the all-around holographic environment that’s indistinguishable from reality is still a long ways off. In the meantime, Iarpa’s program will rely on synthetic, electronically reproduced light fields.
SHO is bringing part of the holodeck concept one small step closer to reality, though. The program is aimed at generating 3-D displays that let analysts get a better feel for the mountains of imagery that the intelligence community collects. In particular, SHO needs to render conventional imagery and LIDAR (light detection and ranging) into holographic light fields. LIDAR bounces beams of light off objects in a manner not too different from conventional radar, allowing users to quickly make 3-D images and maps."

"Project Icarus: How to Navigate Interstellar Space" | 'Sunshine' Film Inspires After All - Case & Point - Tau Zero Foundation and British Interplanetary Society
"Project Icarus is an ambitious five-year study into launching an unmanned spacecraft to an interstellar destination. Headed by the Tau Zero Foundation and British Interplanetary Society, a non-profit group of scientists dedicated to interstellar spaceflight, Icarus is working to develop a spacecraft that can travel to a nearby star.
Rob Swinney, member of the British Interplanetary Society and Project Icarus, investigates the realities of navigating through interstellar space with a vehicle traveling at 12 percent the speed of light."
http://news.discovery.com/space/project-icarus-navigating-interstellar-space-110707.html
The design of the Icarus spacecraft, displayed in the opening shots of the movie, incorporates a massive heat shield made of many small positionable mirrors in an umbrella shape at the front of the vessel. This shield protects the relatively fragile main hull of the Icarus craft from the intense radiation and superheated particles of the solar wind, which at such close proximity to the Sun can dissolve most materials near-instantaneously. The stellar bomb is located just behind the heat shield, with the remainder of the ship, including the engines, living quarters, oxygen garden, computer core, and other structure behind a second, smaller heat shield. This second shield will be used as both protection and a solar sail during the return trip, after the payload is deployed into the Sun taking the larger shield with it.
As the movie opens, the Icarus II is passing into the "dead zone", beyond which the radio communications of the crew back to Earth are lost in the solar wind. Mission Physicist Capa records a last-minute message to send back to his sister on Earth, while psychiatrist Searle views the Sun's filtered light on the ship's solar observation deck, pushing the limits of the computer's safety protocols to view as much light as is allowed."

Sunshine (2007 film)
"In 2057, the failure of the Earth's Sun threatens life on the planet, compelling humanity to send a spacecraft that carries a stellar bomb payload intended to re-ignite it. The first spacecraft with the payload, the Icarus I, was lost seven years previously for reasons unknown, having failed in its mission. A second spacecraft with a new payload, the Icarus II, is sent to the Sun in a final attempt, as the Earth has been exhausted of the materials necessary to make the payload.The design of the Icarus spacecraft, displayed in the opening shots of the movie, incorporates a massive heat shield made of many small positionable mirrors in an umbrella shape at the front of the vessel.

Did you know there is an Illuminati saying which mysteriously reads: “A Columbian Enterprise to Endeavor for the Discovery of Atlantis … and all Challengers will be destroyed”?
"The “FINAL” space shuttle mission, “Atlantis” ST-135 goes up on July 8th, of 2011. This mission takes on a whole new light, in lieu of the visions, dreams, and prophecies of those who live, and who have died, while working on behalf of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
On July 7th, the Elenin “cluster” aligns with Saturn.
David Wilkerson’s Vision of U.S. Earthquakes
Here is an excerpt from Chapter 2 of David Wilkerson’s book –> The Vision**
Chapter 2 Drastic Weather Change and Earthquakes ( The Vision by David Wilkerson-published in 1974)
“Earthquakes coming to United States
The United States is going to experience in the not-too-distant future the most tragic earthquakes in its history. One day soon this nation will be reeling under the impact of the biggest news story of modern times. It will be coverage of the biggest most disastrous earthquake in history.
It will cause widespread panic and fear, Without a doubt, it will become one of the most completely reported earthquake ever. Television networks will suspend all programming and carry all day coverage.
Another earthquake , possibly in Japan may precede the one that I see coming here. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind about this forthcoming massive earthquake in our continent.
I am not at all convinced that this earthquake will take place in California. In fact, I believe it is going to take place where it is least expected. This terrible earthquake may happen in an area that not known as an earthquake belt. It will be so high on the Richter scale that it will trigger two other major earthquakes.”"
