Geobacter's secret is its unique metabolism: the microbes expel electrons outside their cell walls without needing to convert them to water, as human cells do. Geobacter needs only an outside compound--usually iron oxide, or rust--to accept the excess electrons. Lovley discovered how to coax Geobacter into not only dumping electrons onto uranium waste but also consuming petroleum by-products. Geobacter has already effectively decontaminated a uranium mine in Colorado and an oil spill in Minnesota...
...openly resistant to reincorporating the de facto state they created in northern Iraq under the umbrella of the no-fly zone into a wider Iraq in which they're a minority; instead they want to expand it to take in the northern oil towns of Mosul and Kirkuk and expel the Arab population settled there by Saddam Hussein over the past two decades. A Kurdish statelet in the north is anathema to the Shiites and Sunni, and Turkey - which regards Kurdish self-determination as a mortal threat to its own naitonal security - has signaled that it would be prepared...
...China to the United States Yang Jiechi, Summers specifically cited that Yang had “not been granted access to legal counsel” and asked the ambassador “to expedite the handling of Dr. Yang’s case, and, if appropriate, move expeditiously to expel him from the People’s Republic of China so he can return home to his family.” The Staff regrets the error and encourages Summers to continue his diplomatic overtures and to amplify his efforts on Yang’s behalf publicly as well as privately...

The D.U.P. won by promising it would not share power with the first choice of nationalists, Gerry Adams' Sinn Fein, which picked up 24 of 108 Assembly seats. During victory celebrations, Paisley threatened to expel any D.U.P. member who so much as talks to Sinn Fein, because of its link to the outlawed I.R.A. The result dashed hopes for a quick revival of the regional government that London suspended last year just as it was about to collapse. Britain and the Republic of Ireland last...
...long, tough slog. An initial drug combination of Ritalin and Prozac, prescribed when Monica was 6, simply collapsed her alternating depressed and manic moods into a single state with sad and wild features. By the time she was 8, her behavior was so unhinged, her school tried to expel her. Next Monica was switched to Zyprexa, an antipsychotic, that led to serious weight gain. "At 12 years old she had stretch marks," says Hatten. Now, a year later, Monica is taking a four-drug cocktail that includes Tegretol, an anticonvulsant, and Abilify, an antipsychotic. That, at last, seems to have...
