Holy Water Bill!

After two years living in Majestic Oaks, paying county water bills of less than $27 a month, Jeanann Tirico found a surprise last month.

"I got a water bill for $1,500," Tirico, 40, a single mother of four, said last week. "My heart pounded, there's no question about that. I was sure it was some kind of mistake."

27 Years After Awarded, a Pulitzer Prize Acknowledged (NYT)

In 1979, photographer Jahangir Razmi stood nearby as executioners shot Kurdish prisoners in Iran. A picture he took for an Iranian newspaper was picked up by United Press International and published worldwide. To protect the photographer, his name was not printed. But the image proved so compelling that it was awarded the 1980 Pulitzer Prize. Last Monday Razmi finally received his award.

Gene explains why people are night owls

By monitoring when and how often the mice chose to run on an exercise wheel the team spotted a change in some of the animals’ normal rhythms.

Instead of following the typical 24 hour pattern, some of the mice had body clocks that stretched to up to a 27 hour day.

Closer study of the DNA from the mice then revealed that those on a 27-hour-cycle had the after hours version of the Fbxl3 gene, one of a large family that controls the breakdown of specific proteins within body cells.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!! I love the number 27 because I am on a 27 hour NIGHT OWL GENETIC CODE! Yay for Science. Now perhaps, if I stopped “drinking coffee at midnight, when the moment is not right…”
