    [color=orange]During a CNBC interview on Monday, President Obama called Kanye West a "jackass" regarding his behavior at the MTV Video Music Awards. [/color]

    Obama's colorful remark was actually made in an off-the-record portion of the interview that was tweeted -- and then deleted -- by ABC News reporter Terry Moran.

    "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential," Moran wrote.

    Scientists have discovered how bacteria fend off a wide range of antibiotics, and blocking that defense mechanism could give existing antibiotics more power to fight dangerous infections.



    Code:
    Researchers at New York University said on Thursday that bacteria produce certain nitric oxide-producing enzymes to resist antibiotics.

    Drugs that inhibit these enzymes can make antibiotics much more potent, making even deadly superbugs...

    Things to do if you have scant concern for your own physical wellbeing, #34: wedge a Honda Fireblade superbike engine into a go-kart.

    That's what these enterprising gents from Escondido in California have
    done, and we must commend the dedication to danger, if not that
    decidedly Halfords rear wing.

    The new H1N1 virus appears to outcompete seasonal flu, making it less likely to mix with other circulating flu viruses into a "superbug" as some had feared, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.



    Code:
    The H1N1, or swine flu, virus also spreads more quickly and causes more severe disease in animal studies, the team said, but it shows no signs of mixing with either of the two seasonal flu viruses to form a new, so-called reassortant virus.

    Routine screening for prostate cancer has resulted in more than 1 million U.S. men being diagnosed with tumors who might otherwise have suffered no ill effects from them, U.S. researchers said on Monday.



    They said prostate cancer screening is a double-edged sword, catching serious cancers in a few but causing needless worry and expense for the majority of men, who may be getting treatment for tumors growing too slowly to do any harm.

    The team looked to see how many additional...

    A diver has captured on camera the moment he risked his life to swim alongside a 15m humpback whale in Hawaii.



    Marco Queral said he was cautious when attracting the female whale's attention last week, because one flick of its tail could have meant death.

    "They are usually more shy and cautious toward humans and boats ... perhaps because they are not so accustomed to seeing humans offshore," Mr Queral was quoted in the Daily Mail as saying.

    An effort to sell General Motors Co. cars through eBay Inc.'s online
    market is generating some leads for participating auto dealers but

    purchase GM cars at a "buy it now" price, or bargain online with a
    dealer. GM and eBay said they would measure success based on the

    Researchers seeking ways to genetically-modify microbes to get them to do their bidding said on Thursday they had taken a big step toward their goal by transplanting an altered genome from one germ to another.

    They hope the experiment will help scientists alter bacteria to make new vaccines, clean up toxic waste and design new antibiotics. They also hope they can use the technique to try to create entirely synthetic microbes.

    Carole Lartigue and colleagues at the J. Craig Venter Institute in Maryland took the entire genome out of one type of bacteria,...

    Scientists in the UK have discovered a giant killer plant that lures rodents and insects into its trap and devours them with acid-like enzymes, The Sun reports.


    The remarkably rare giant pitcher plant is believed to be the largest meat-eating flora in the world.

    The plant, which is green and red and has a stem that can grow up to 4ft long, can only be found high up on the windswept slopes of Mount Victoria in the Phillipines.
