  • Smart DNA: Programming the Molecule of Life for Work and Play

    From a modern chemist&amprsquo;s perspective, the structure of DNA in our genes is rather mundane. The molecule has a well-known importance for life, but chemists often see only a uniform double helix with almost no functional behavior on its own. It may come as a surprise, then, to learn that this molecule is the basis of a truly rich and strange research area that bridges synthetic chemistry, enzymology, structural nanotechnology and computer science.Using this new science, we have constructed molecular versions of logic gates that can operate in water solution. Our goal in building these DNA-based computing modules is to develop nanoscopic machines that could exist in living organisms, sensing conditions and making decisions based on what they sense, then responding with actions such as releasing medicine or killing specific cells.

    <p㺯ter reading from a blog post about aGeorgia teacher who ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/rdto=http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.aspS=9272165">reportedly informed theschool principal and campus police that a picture of a vampire one of herstudents had drawn might contain gang symbols, radio host Jim Quinn stated onthe November 6 broadcast of Clear Channel's ώm>ώm>The War Room with Quinn ɪmp; Rosethat the incident is evidence of "the chickification of schools, thefeminization of society, and the war on masculinity." He then stated that"the goal of the public school system -- the feminists in the publicschool system -- is to make male behavior illegal, a crime." Quinn read from conservative bloggerWarner Todd Huston's October 31 ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/rdto=http://www.thenextright.com/warner-todd-huston/another-idiot-teacher-alert-vampire-drawing-gets-kid-called-gang-member"ϫlog post on theGeorgia incident, stating:ϋlockquote>If thisis not further evidence we need more men in our schools and not the Birkenstockwearing, ponytailed, softhanded, bike riding kind either, then what is Havingnothing but females running our schools is turning them into thoroughlyfeminized institutions where everyone has gelatinized spines and all turn to afear-wracked lump of quivery flesh at the slightest evidence of anythingrambunctious, gross, tough, loud, or -- ahem -- male.ώm>Media Matters for America ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200810070020">noted, Quinn previously claimed thatauthor, activist and ώm>Ms. magazineco-founder Gloria Steinem opposed Gov.

He added, ȫut even if you're anactual man, never mind a childless feminist who looks like a Bulgarianweightlifter in drag, you're a real woman solely because you nod your head likea windup clapping monkey every time you read the latest editorial from ώm>ώm>Ms. magazine."Furthermore, Quinn has ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200809080017">repeatedly ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200809040008" title=ȫlocked::http://mediamatters.org/items/200809040008f=s_search">referred to the NationalOrganization for Women as the "National Organization for Whores."ώm>ώm>Talkers Magazine lists ώm>ώm>Quinnɪmp; Rose on its "ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/rdto=http://www.talkers.com/main/index.phpoption=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=44">Heavy Hundred"list, which it describes as a list of the 𢄀 most important radio talkshow hosts in America."According to the show's website, it ϊ href="http://mediamatters.org/rdto=http://www.warroom.com/affiliates.php"Ϫirs on 18 radiostations and XM Satellite Radio. <pϯrom the November 6 broadcast of ClearChannel's ώm>The War Room with Quinn ɪmp; Rose:ϋlockquote>QUINN:All right, now get this. This is by Warner Todd Huston. You know, maybe thisshould have been a ⊺rking Moonbat" heads-up. "Remember whenyou were a young school kid and you drew a vampire during the week ofHalloween Remember how the blood was always dripping down from his menacing,pearly white teeth Remember how it was all in good faith" -- I'msorry -- "in good Halloween fun Well, you can just forget about thatmister, at least if you are a 5th-Grader in the Savannah-Chatham school systemin Georgia.In Georgia,if you draw a vampire you get called a gang member -- even when you wereassigned to make the drawing -- and then you get sent to the'psychological evaluation' department of the school as if you aresome mentally disturbed monster." You know, this is getting way tooSoviet for me....QUINN:"Sadly, this situation could have been easily solved without involvingpolice, without punishing the kid with the stigma of psychological evaluationand then being kicked out of the school. All these foolish, emasculated schooladministrators had to do was ask the art teacher what was going on. That teacherwould have already explained that, you know, he was assigned this, and I signedoff on it, it's OK, and there you have it, no police, no mental exams, noexpulsion needed. If this is not further evidence we need more men in ourschools and not the Birkenstock wearing, ponytailed, softhanded, bike ridingkind either, then what is Having nothing but females running our schools isturning them into thoroughly feminized institutions where everyone hasgelatinized spines and all turn to a fear-wracked lump of quivery flesh at theslightest hint of anything rambunctious, gross, tough, loud, or -- ahem --male." Yeah, that's right. This is the chickification of schools,the feminization of society, and the war on masculinity. Look, folks, the goalof the public school system -- the feminists in the public school system -- isto make male behavior illegal, a crime. But see, when you let the governmentrun your schools, your schools will behave like government, and that is to saythat they'll behave a little bit like Michael Moore mindlessly eatinganything that he comes into contact with.
