Say One thing do another Labservatives (Leaders Debate)

What Nick Clegg managed to highlight in the leader's debate is that both Labour and Conservative are promising to do things that they either opposed or did not support in the last parliament.

He highlighted the recall of MPs - where Labour opposed recall and the tories abstained. However, there are others.

The Digital Economy Bill was supported by Labour and Conservatives. The contentious clauses could have been dropped, but weren't.

The reform of parliament which is more important than is recognised was blocked by the Labour whips, but the Conservatives failed to back us in opposing the programme motion on this issue on the last Wednesday of parliament.

Labour and Conservatives are saying "back us to support things we have opposed".

Liberal Democrats are saying "back us to support things we have supported".

New Comres poll shows a 14 point purge for the Lib Dems. Now on 35% percent! Just one point behind the Tories and well ahead of Labour!

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.
