OFF TOPIC: Two New Polls

Given the historic events over the last few weeks the Sirtuin Investor is conducting 2 new polls:

1) Should some form of the plan to approve the purchase of up to $700,000,000,000 (that's a lot of zeros) in mortgage backed securities be approved in order to help save the economy?

2)How will you vote for president?

Vote now.

Resceratrol: Now its Radiation Protection?

In a seemingly endless string of research into the potential health benefits of resveratrol, new research from researchers at the University of Pittsburgh shows that resveratrol, when altered with acetyl, protected cells from radiation in mouse models. The study was led by Joel Greenberger, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

This new research adds to resveratrol's reputation as a compond with an expanding universe of health benefits. In other unrelated research resveratrol has already been shown to have potential in many diseases of the aging.

Obama Versus McCain on Cellulosic Ethanol

Verenium investors should be aware of the materially different positions on cellulosic ethanol held by the two presidential candidates:



OBAMA's website..straight forward policy on ethanol:

• Develop the Next Generation of Biofuels: Barack Obama will work to ensure that advanced biofuels, including cellulosic ethanol, are developed and incorporated into our national supply as soon as possible. Obama will invest federal resources, including tax incentives, cash prizes and government contracts into developing the most promising technologies with the goal of getting the first two billion gallons of cellulosic ethanol into the system by 2013.

McCain's own word....against subsidies for ethanol
