  • Movie Review - Cellular
    Cellular - 2005 New Line Productions Inc.

    I had a chance to watch Cellular the other day and my first thought was that here we go with another spin-off of Phone Booth, another movie with someone forced to stay on the phone for 90 some minutes while we cringe in our seat. But, to my surprise , this was actually a very enjoyable movie. I’m am not really sure what genre to classify this movie in because it has it all. Suspense, drama, action, comic relief; this movie has everything.
    The movie begins with the kidnapping of Jessica Martin, played by Kim Bassinger.
    Jessica is a high sch ...

    $6 Million NSF Grant Supports UF Genetic Research On Loblolly Pine
    GAINESVILLE, Fla. --- With the aid of a $6 million grant from the National Science Foundation, University of Florida researchers are working with scientists at the University of California, Davis; North Carolina State University; and Texas A&M University to identify genes that regulate wood properties and disease-resistance traits in loblolly pine.


    Size and Lifespan
    There is a correlation between size and lifespan; witness the pygmy goby, the shortest lived vertebrate known to man. The secret to really long lifespans for humans won't be just medicine, but a rejiggering of our genetic code and metabolism to make us larger and slower. Our descendants may be fifteen feet tall and live to the ripe old age of 400. Perhaps we'll adopt other elephantine traits for aesthetic reasons. We americans seem to be doing our best to reach elephantine proportions without genetic rejiggering. I'm counting the days until my first heart stint.

  • The Technology of Law
    One can discern the following relationships between the Law and Technology:

    1. Sometimes technology becomes an inseparable part of the law. In extreme cases, technology itself becomes the law. The use of polygraphs, faxes, telephones, video, audio and computers is an integral part of many laws - etched into them. It is not an artificial co-habitation: the technology is precisely defined in the law and forms a CONDITION within it. In other words: the very spirit and letter of the law is violated (the law is broken) if a certain technology is not employed or not put to correct use. Think ...

  • Building A Better Body, One Brick At A Time
    Copyright 2005 Tom Venuto

    The quest to develop a stunningly fit, lean and attractive body is a long, slow journey. It's not something you achieve overnight by popping a few pills or strapping an electric gizmo to your belly.

    Which reminds me, did you know that by the time the FTC finally blew the whistle on the electronic ab belt scam, the makers of those "ab zappers" had swindled over $100 million dollars from unsuspecting consumers? Fortunately, some of those companies had to pay it back, and then some! The FTC charged three companies - Fast Abs, Ab Tronic and Ab Energizer - w ...

  • Wake-Up Call

    Direct Answers - Column for the week of October 7, 2002

    In the first half of May, I went through two remarkable changes. One was physical and the other involved emotional recall.

    The physical one was what I thought was flu and a heavy dose of it. It was accompanied by a surreal shivering never experienced before or since. The recall was of a family I knew in my school days more than 20 years ago.

    I imagined them not during the school years, when I knew them, but much earlier. I got images of all three children as handsome creatures having just come into this world. I saw t ...
