Times launches campaign on Family Justice

On Monday the Times will launch a campaign on Family Justice at http://www.timesonline.co.uk/familyjustice

They say:
I wanted to let you know that in Monday's Times, Camilla Cavendish will be starting a major campaign under the banner of Family Justice.

The Times is calling for family courts to be more open, and for childcare professionals to be accountable for their decisions.

The conclusion of her first article is: "To sever a child from its family without due cause is licensed state oppression of the worst kind. It is, in fact, child abuse."

We're supporting the campaign online
a) Running a survey to find people who have been involved with family courts and looking for clusters of concern.
b) Encouraging readers to write letters to their MPs using an online form.
c) Collecting useful links for parents and grandparents

I'd be grateful if you could link to the campaign homepage, and encourage your readers / members to get involved:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/familyjustice (It should be fully live by midnight Sunday)

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.
