The Castle is a 1997 Australian comedy film that gained widespread acclaim in Australia, but was not widely distributed worldwide. The story follows the exploits of the Kerrigan family, -whose name was reportedly borrowed from the towing company that lent them the trucks used in the film- who have been blissfully residing in their home (their "castle") for years. Unfortunately, the nearby airport wants to expand and plans to evict the Kerrigans and their neighbors by way of compulsory acquisition . The humor in The Castle plays on the self image of Australians, most notably the concept of "the little Aussie battler".
The movie title is named for the English saying, repeatedly used in the film, "A man's home is his castle." The film also refers to the land rights movement of the Australian Aborigines, with Darryl Kerrigan drawing an explicit parallel between his struggle and theirs.

Prof. Jason Lu from the Children's Hospital is presenting a seminar on March 6th at 11AM in 813 Rhodes on his research relating to the use of graph theoretic formulations for solving some Bioinformatics problems.
Abstract
An important idea emerging in this post-genomic era is that the cell can be viewed as a complex network of interacting proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. Similarly, complex networks are also used to describe the structures of a number of wide-ranging systems, including the Internet, power grids, the ecological food web, and scientific collaborations. Despite the seemingly vast differences among these systems, they all share some common features in terms of their network topology. Therefore, networks may provide a framework for describing biology in a universal language understandable by a broad audience. In this talk, I will review the current progress and challenges in applying network approaches to study protein functions.
