BBC DNS seems awry

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I cannot get the BBC domains (mainly news.bbc.co.uk) to resolve.

The BBC have four name servers. I have tried each of them in turn and they don't give out news.bbc.co.uk or www.bbc.co.uk although they do give out other domains.

Did you ever find out what was up with the DNS? I haven't been able to connect to bbc.co.uk for a week or two, yet the rest of my net is fine.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
