FOXO Transcription FactorsFebruary 19th 2007 23:23
Current Biology has a quick guide to FOXO transcription factors. FOXO regulates longevity and tumor suppression. Scientists are able to manipulate the longevity gene in invertebrates, but mammals have proven more difficult to understand.

The Basics of BiofuelsFebruary 19th 2007 22:40
Chris Somerville has written a primer on biofuels and published it in the current issue of Current Biology. The primer discusses how energy is measured and how to compare various sources of fuel. It then goes on to talk about corn and cane ethanol, biodiesel, cellulosic ethanol, some future possibilities for biofuels, and an alternative idea to biofuels.
It's an interesting read and all scientific terms are defined in the article. Source: Current Biology, Vol 17, R115-R119, 20 February 2007

Here's the CTV preview for the next episode of Lost, "Stranger in a Strange Land". Interesting and very different from the US version.
Stranger in a Strange Land - US PreviewFebruary 17th 2007 03:43
Here's the preview for the next episode of Lost, "Stranger in a Strange Land". This is the U. S. version. I'll check for the CTV version and post that when I find it.

Beach. Desmond is walking out of the jungle and he looks into the distance.
Charlie and Hurley go through Sawyer's stuff. Hurley is reading. Desmond walks up and asks them to come with him. Hurley asks if he found Eko, but Desmond doesn't answer. He leads them into the jungle where Sayid and Locke are waiting. Charlie asks, "What happened?" they fill in some details about Eko's death
Not in Portland Video RecapFebruary 14th 2007 06:12
Here's a recap for "Not in Portland". The video touches on the salient points of the island story, but leaves out Juliet's rather significant backstory (the focus of the episode).
The most interesting aspect of her character was the transformation from a mouse, who was pushed around by her ex-husband, to a woman willing to kill people--first Ben, then Pickett, maybe others as well that we haven't seen--in order to leave the island. I'm interested in what actually caused that transformation, but I think we won't know for a while, at least
Not in Portland Easter EggsFebruary 8th 2007 14:55
"Not in Portland" had some interesting revelations, but I didn't see many Easter eggs.
A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Over on the Tail Section, DocArzt researched the exact page Aldo was looking at when Kate, Sawyer, and Alex came up to him. It's about black holes and the bending of time. Rather than reproduce his effort, I'll just direct you to the post
Three Days Until Lost ReturnsFebruary 5th 2007 02:11
Woohoo! Three days until Lost returns! The first episode of the second half of the season (that's such a mouthful...and it doesn't type any easier) has had enough hype that my expectations are way up. I love Lost and I'm sure it won't disappoint.
Thirteen Total Episodes of Day BreakFebruary 5th 2007 02:08
Day Break with Taye Diggs has thirteen episodes total. Six episodes aired on television before ABC cancelled it. Four more episodes were posted on the ABC web site (follow the link that says "Watch Day Break Online Now") this past Monday. We still have three episodes to go before the series is over, so don't worry if you haven't figured out everything.
