Sonic Hedgehog is an extracellular protein that transmits signals by binding to a receptor on the surface of a cell causing deformation in the segmentation pattern of fruit fly embryos -- essentially creating spiny denticles.

DVD Review: 'Sonic Underground' Vol. 1
Nimoy Reveals Three Spocks in 'Trek XI'
Trek Movie Report points us to two video clips from CBS 2 News's exclusive video interview with Leonard Nimoy, who reveals that there will be three Spocks in J.J. Abrams's Star Trek XI.
In a 15-minute Web exclusive video segment, which goes inside Nimoy's home and highlights his photography exhibit, Nimoy shows off a pair of Spock ears from 1968. If all that wasn't enough, it's worth it to watch the video just to hear Nimoy say, "I am Spock ..." when revealing that there will be a total of three Spocks in the Trek prequel...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!

During the Johnson administration... no, the other Johnson administration (that'd be Andrew Johnson, late 1860s)... a clue to the location of a mythical treasure is revealed to a young man by ailing Senator Charles Carroll. The "secret" to the location of the treasure, he is told, "lies with Charlotte." The treasure Carroll so enigmatically refers to here is believed to be one which was amassed centuries ago by a secret order known as the Templar Knights, a legendary treasure that had been deemed too great for any one man to possess, so it was hidden away by the Knights...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Movie Review: Atonement
Atonement
Directed by Joe Wright
Screenplay by Christopher Hampton
Based on the novel by Ian McEwan
Starring Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan
Rated R
Release date: Dec. 7, 2007 (limited)
Every fifteen years or so, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in an act of populist penance, gives Best Picture to a film that everyone likes and is just flat-out entertaining, and has no room for the mugging for Oscars they eventually got. These films include nifty little genre pieces like Casablanca, The French Connection, and The Silence of the Lambs. The last time a movie that everyone got behind for Best Picture that didn't have lavish costumes or fake English accents was… Actually it was last year. The Departed won, and I'm still in shock. That movie's fucking GREAT!...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Details of 'Atonement' Long Tracking Shot
Back in September when I first received assets for Atonement, I'll admit, at first glance I thought it was a typical period-piece tragic love story. I figured there's a war and lovers are kept apart by it (you can't blame me, the first images were of Keira Knightley in a war-time nurse's uniform and James McAvoy in Army gear!). And while I don't necessarily have a problem with this genre, I just figured Atonement was average fare, nothing to really take notice of.
Then I watched the trailer and the clips and read a little bit about the book by Ian McEwan

Letters by Troy Peteri
Red 5 Comics
Cover price: $2.95; Available now
The first time I saw the advertisement for Red 5's new series, Abyss, it hit me with one of the more interesting sells I've seen. It touted itself as the first comic book to begin its story *after* the death of the title character. The picture in the ad was a riff on the classic Death of Superman image, with Abyss's cape in tatters, fluttering from a makeshift flagpole while characters in super-suits stood in the background with their heads bowed...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
