-ne Dark Horizons posted that The Hollywood Reporter says that Ving Rhames is in talks for the Dawn of the Dead remake. I like Ving and would love to see a well-done re-make!Tom Sizemore [Saving Private Ryan] has been arrested for allegedly threatening former Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss to keep her from testifying in his domestic violence case.

-ne Just Another Friday NightWe were looking over our shoulders the whole evening. Teenyboppers were accosting us the whole night trying to get us to buy glow sticks. Well, the DEA has pointed to the aforementioned glow sticks, lollipops, and bottled water as drug paraphenalia, and according to the government's interpretation of the Ecstasy Anti-Proliferation Act of 2000, the whole event could've been busted up.Then again, I don't see that happening.

-ne The Structure of DNA: The Double Helix (1986) by James D. Watson summarizes his personal views and experiences from the time in 1952/53 when he and Francis Crick raced against Linus Pauling to indentify the three dimensional structure of DNA. Rosalind Franklin, a crystallographer who produced critical X-ray photographs of DNA) are presented unfavorably in the book, and there has been a large controversy as to whether Watsons 'personal account' is accurate. Other facts and impressions from The Double Helix: Watson was working on viruses (phages), but DNA was always a side track that he was very passionate about; up to 1952 it was debated whether protein or DNA is the substance of genetic heredity; he has also published a triple-helix structure for DNA that proved to be incorrect. The story, from the view of Linus Pauling, is also told on the web site Linus Pauling and the Race for DNA. The recent celebration of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of DNA structure yielded a large number of exhibitions and journal articles that recollect the events of early molecular biology. Avery, Colin MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarthy (Rockefeller, 1944): work with pneumococcus bacteria: DNA, not protein is the principle of life, i.e. Alfred Hershey (1908-1997) and Martha Chase (Cold Spring Harbor): using phages, they proved once more that DNA, not protein is the material of heredity. Here, Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA; proposed a triple helix structure for DNA before W.
