Japanese researchers put a new spin on surrogate parenting as they engineered one fish species to produce another, in a quest to preserve endangered fish. Idaho scientists begin the next big step next month, trying to produce a type of salmon highly endangered in that state - the sockeye - this time using more plentiful trout as surrogate parents. The new method is "one of the best things that has happened in a long time in bringing something new into conservation biology," said University of Idaho zoology professor Joseph Cloud, who is leading the U.S. governmentfunded sockeye project. The Tokyo University inventors injected newly hatched but sterile Asian masu salmon with sperm-growing cells from rainbow trout - and watched the salmon grow up to produce trout. Prime minister doesn't rule out runfor president MOSCOW (AP) - President Vladimir Putin's choice for prime minister said Thursday he would not rule out a run for the presidency, adding to the intrigue following his surprise nomination just months before elections. Putin nominated Viktor Zubkov on Wednesday after dismissing Mikhail Fradkov, who had headed the Cabinet since 2004. The State Duma, the loyal lower parliament house that often acts as a rubber stamp for Kremlin policies, is expected to approve the choice Friday. Asked whether he would be president, Zubkov said: "If I achieve something in this position, I do not rule out this scenario." Zubkov's remark deepened the uncertainty Putin created by choosing his little-known ally to replace Fradkov ahead of December parliamentary elections and a March presidential vote in which Putin is barred from seeking a third straight term. Zubkov, has spent the last six years overseeing investigations into suspicious financial transactions as the head of the agency charged with fighting moneylaundering. He was widely praised by members of the dominant proKremlin party United Russia after his nomination was announced. But while his confirmation is a foregone conclusion, Putin's nomination of a virtual unknown ahead of crucial elections muddied Russia's political waters, amplifying questions about the popular leader's plan for his country and himself. Putin said Wednesday that he needed to "prepare the country" for life after the elections. Just how, though, he left unclear, to demonstrate that he is in control and to leave him room for maneuver as he prepares to step down. Zubkov, who has worked under Putin since the early 1990s, is seen as a loyal figure likely to fulfill any role Putin sets before him. Putin provided little clarity Thursday, though he suggested other Cabinet ministers could be replaced - and possibly that Zubkov could remain in his post through the elections. In televised comments, Putin indicated he replaced the premier now so that concerns among Cabinet members about their jobs would not affect their work during the elections. 9- Switch the 'R' and 'C in 'Racing' and you get 'Caring 8- Can hold 8 gigs of music on my new iHelmet 7- In a pinch, checkered flags make a lovely tablecloth 6- Two more wins and I get to marry Ashley Judd 5 - You can talk to your car and pretend you're David Hasselhoff 4 - How many people can say their 'office' goes 200 miles per hour PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN speaks to the State Counsel meeting in the western city of Belgorod, Thursday, Sept. 13.
