Clyde Edward Fant, Sr. (October 18, 1905 – July 6, 1973), was a 20-year Democratic mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, having served from 1946 to 1954 and again from 1958 to 1970. Fant was cited as "Louisiana's Mayor of the Year" in 1953 by the Louisiana Municipal Association, which he headed for three consecutive years. In 1948, with fewer than two years of mayoral experience, he had been among four mayors in the United States invited to The Hague, Netherlands, for the annual conference of the World Conference of Mayors, an occasion which rendered him national recognition. Fant's success as Shreveport's mayor was attributed to his commitment to his city, his interpersonal skills, and the approval in his first term of a $9.6 million capital improvements bond issue that set the stage for municipal growth in the post-World War II era. Shreveport was the second most populous city in Louisiana until the 1970s, when Baton Rouge surpassed it to take the second ranking.
Early years and family[edit]
Clyde Fant was a native of Linden in Cass County, Texas. He was one of six children of Mr. and Mrs. John Preston Fant. John Fant was a cotton gin owner and a onetime Texas state legislator. Fant graduated in 1925 from the former Marshall (Texas) College, now East Texas Baptist University. He taught school for a year in Blocker, a since abandoned community near Marshall, the seat of Harrison County. He then worked for a lumber company in east Texas and was thereafter associated with Southwestern Gas and Electric Company. He was an executive with Interstate Electric Company, with seven years of service with the firm, when he was transferred to Shreveport.
Fant was married to the former Margaret Moos (born 1909), and they had two sons, Dr. Clyde E. Fant, Jr., Th.D. (born 1934), a Baptist clergyman and author of the "Great Preaching" series, and John Frank Fant (born 1937).
Dr. Clyde Fant Jr., is a former pastor in Ruston and former professor of preaching at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth. He is professor-emeritus at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida.
John Frank "Jack" Fant received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and in 1962 a law degree from Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge. On September 4, 1971, he was appointed to serve as Judge over the First Judicial District, Division "D", in Shreveport to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of William F. Woods. Upon leaving the bench, Jack Fant relocated to Huntsville, Texas, where he took a position as an Inmate Legal Services attorney with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (then known as the Texas Department of Corrections). He was later promoted to an assistant director over the State Counsel for Offenders (then the Inmate Legal Services) and served in that capacity for several years. In 2002, his employment was terminated after the Department of Criminal Justice recognized that he did not hold a Texas law license. On May 3, 2004, a Walker County jury found Fant guilty of perjury. He did not appeal. (Cause Number 02-1701, Walker County Court At Law). He remains in private practice in Huntsville.
Five elections as mayor[edit]
In 1944, Fant was appointed as Shreveport's public utilities commissioner by newly inaugurated Governor Jimmie Davis, himself a former Shreveport city official and, like Fant, a man steeped in the activities of the Southern Baptist Church. Fant succeeded James Reilly, who accepted a position with the State of Louisiana.
In 1946, Fant ran not for a full term as utilities commissioner but as mayor, under the city's then commission form of government. Sam Caldwell, the incumbent mayor, had run unsuccessfully against Davis for governor in 1944. Fant was elected to a four-year term and reelected in 1950.
In the 1952 gubernatorial race, Fant supported Judge Robert F. Kennon of Minden, who prevailed over another jurist, Carlos Spaht of Baton Rouge.[1]
Fant did not seek a third term in 1954, and the position went to his fellow Democrat James C. Gardner. From 1954 to 1958, Fant was the president and general manager of the insurance agency Fant, Chase, and Kline.
In 1958, Fant decided to seek a return to the mayoral position. He unseated Gardner, who was closely identified with more "progressive" politics, by a large margin in the Democratic primary. Fant pledged to lead Shreveport to greater heights in the 1960s than had already been accomplished. Fant won again in 1962, and he was unopposed for his fifth, and as it turned out final, term in 1966.
Republicans began to gain strength in Shreveport in the middle 1960s, but no Republican challenged Fant in any of his elections. A group of Republicans tried to convince then GOP State Chairman Charlton Lyons, to challenge Fant in 1966. Lyons politely declined to wage a mayoral campaign, after having lost races for Congress in 1961 to Joe D. Waggonner and governor in 1964 to John McKeithen. Fant did not seek a sixth term in 1970, in part because of health considerations. He was succeeded by the outgoing public utilities commissioner Calhoun Allen
Fant had been considered a potential candidate for governor or lieutenant governor, but he ran for no other office than Shreveport mayor. He served in several state appointive positions, however, including the Louisiana Tax Commission, the Board of Institutions, and the Overton-Red River Waterway Planning Commission.
Mayoral accomplishments[edit]
Fant was credited with maintaining racial calm in Shreveport during the late 1950s and early 1960s at the height of the civil rights movement, when a majority of the city's voters were segregationists. Fant instituted municipal programs aimed at uplifting black citizens, including slum clearance. By the time that he finally left office in 1970, nearly 7,500 dwellings had been rehabilitated, and another 2,000 were demolished. Fant's successor, Calhoun Allen, continued such outreach to the black community, but racial resentments continued for decades.
Under Fant, an area along the Red River was developed as the site of the Shreveport Convention Center and Civic Center complex. Later the popular Clyde Fant Parkway, named in the former mayor's honor, brought regular, joggers, walkers, and bicyclists into the Riverfront area. The acclaimed R.S. Barnwell Memorial Garden and Art Center was also established when Fant was mayor. Other projects in the Fant years included the Shreveport-Barksdale Air Force Base bridge, the Jewella-Milam Street connection, the Youree Drive extension (under renovation in 2006), and the Southern Avenue and Spring Street viaduct.
In 1953, Fant was selected by the LMA as "Louisiana's Mayor of the Year." The National Municipal League and Look magazine, moreover, named Shreveport as one of the nation's top eleven cities. That same year, Fant was the first individual to receive the Shreveport Advertising Club's annual award called "Shreveport's Best Ad," a designation given to an institution or a person who brought the city the most favorable publicity during the year. Fant was a past president of the Broadmoor Kiwanis Club.
Fant's legacy[edit]
The Clyde E. Fant Memorial Award for Community Service is given annually in honor of the late mayor. Past winners include Virginia Kilpatrick Shehee, the first woman to garner the honor.
On his death, the Shreveport Times eulogized the former mayor:
"Clyde Fant, more than any other person, was Shreveport. He poured his life into our community, and the community responded with respect and love.
"There was no more powerful force in Northwest Louisiana during the past quarter-century than Clyde Fant. Additionally, the accomplishment of the Fant years in office would rank him as one of the chief top executives in Shreveport history.
"He was a kind, gentle, Christian man, but his politics were laced with bare-knuckled toughness when he felt it necessary.
"That combination marked continuing progress for Shreveport throughout Mr. Fant's two decades of service.
"When he was first elected to office at the end of World War II, he inherited a city in a desperate financial condition. Using his immense personal powers, he turned the city around and left a legacy of industrial growth and quality services for Shreveport.
"Clyde Fant was a man of unusual vision, and the consequences of that vision will long be felt by the people here. His programs helped to build our city, not only in a mortar and stone fashion, they also gave Shreveport an aura of humanity. . . .
"If he was Shreveport's shining star, then he was also Louisiana's mayor of mayors. . . .
"He needs no monument to mark his resting place because Shreveport is the better reminder of his life."
Fant was a long-term member of the board of directors of Broadmoor Baptist Church and was chairman of the board for seven years. He taught a men's Bible class. He resided at 340 Ockley Drive in the Broadmoor neighborhood.[2] Services were held at the Broadmoor Baptist Church, with the then pastor, Dr. Scott Lamar Tatum (born 1920), officiating. Fant is interred at Forest Park Cemetery in Shreveport. His papers are in the archives of Louisiana State University at Shreveport, a four-year branch campus which opened in 1967.

Financial Audit:
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Funds' 2005 and 2004 Financial Statements
GAO-06-146: Published: Mar 2, 2006. Publicly Released: Mar 2, 2006.

GAO is required to annually audit the financial statements of the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF), Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF), which are administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). GAO is responsible for obtaining reasonable assurance about whether FDIC's financial statements for BIF, SAIF, and FRF are presented fairly in all material respects, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and whether FDIC maintained effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Also, GAO is responsible for testing FDIC's compliance with selected laws and regulations. Created in 1933 to insure bank deposits and promote sound banking practices, FDIC plays an important role in maintaining public confidence in the nation's financial system. In 1989, legislation to reform the federal deposit insurance system created three funds to be administered by FDIC: BIF and SAIF, which protect bank and savings deposits, and FRF, which was created to close out the business of the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.
In GAO's opinion, FDIC fairly presented the 2005 and 2004 financial statements for the three funds it administers--the Bank Insurance Fund, the Savings Association Insurance Fund, and the FSLIC Resolution Fund. GAO also found that, although certain controls should be improved, FDIC had effective internal control over financial reporting and compliance for each fund. GAO did not find reportable instances of noncompliance with the laws and regulations it tested. On February 8, 2006, the President signed into law the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005. Among its provisions, the Act calls for merging the Bank Insurance and Savings Association Insurance Funds into a single Deposit Insurance Fund no later than July 1, 2006. Last year, GAO reported on progress FDIC made in addressing long-standing issues related to weaknesses in its information system controls, which GAO had been reporting as a reportable condition. Based on the progress FDIC had made, GAO had concluded in its 2004 audit report that the remaining issues related to information system controls no longer constituted a reportable condition. GAO noted in that report, however, that FDIC's implementation of a new financial system during 2005 would significantly change its information systems environment and the related information systems controls necessary for their effective operation. GAO found that FDIC, in implementing its new financial system during 2005, did not ensure that adequate controls were in place to accommodate its new systems environment. During its review, GAO identified information system control weaknesses that increased the risk of unauthorized modification and disclosure of critical FDIC financial and sensitive personnel information, disruption of critical operations, and loss of assets. These weaknesses, which constitute a reportable condition in 2005, affected FDIC's ability to ensure that users only had the access needed to perform their assigned duties and that its systems were sufficiently protected from unauthorized users. FDIC acknowledged but did not share GAO's assessment regarding the severity of the risks or the magnitude of the vulnerability posed by the issues identified during the audit. However, GAO continues to believe the weaknesses represent significant vulnerabilities in FDIC's information system controls. In addition to the reportable condition related to FDIC's information systems controls, GAO noted other less significant matters involving FDIC's internal controls. GAO will be reporting separately to FDIC management on these matters.

16.9 oz antique green medicine style bottle with a stamped on freshness date and words about the brew on the back label.
Very black in colour with a thin tiny bubbled tan lace that at least leaves a ring of lace towards the end.
Soft creamy sweetness with hints of coffee and dark chocolate with faint earthy and musty diacetyl aromas.
Very creamy with a small smoothness in the back, full bodied with a struggling crispness off of a light carbonation. Roasted flavours range from mild charcoal to coffee, dark chocolate to faint molasses. Hops are in there for balance though the roasted flavour does have a small bitter bite also. Buttery, musty diacetyl lays down a light butterscotch flavour within the roasted character. Finishes sweet with a creamed coffee note.
The only problem I had with this brew is that it could have used a bit more smoothness, other than that it was quite a tasty brew and paired well with some fresh mocha chocolate chip cookies. Who needs milk …

3.06/5 rDev -20.5%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 2.75
Appearance: This beer looks extremely black...not sure if it is "pitch black" or just "kinda black", but it looks dark enough to me. Exactly what it is I wanted my beer to look like after work. 4.5\5
Smell: This beer stumbles a bit with the smell. Their is too much esters...it comes off a bit too sweet smelling. I also get some green apple like smells. It needs a lot of malt and chocolate aroma in my opinion. However, the smell also has an extremely sweet and rich smell to it. Maybe my bottle is too old? maybe. But I still give it a 3.25\5
Taste: This beer has a lot of off flavors in it. Its obvious that it was fermented far too hot, as the esters that I smelled in the beer are very present in the flavor. despite this, the beer still has a decent heavy taste...but its off set a LOT by the surprising harshness of the beer. I cannot say that I am impressed. 2.75\5
Mouthfeel: This beer does get this right. The feel is heavy and hearty. 4\5
Overall: I was expecting lot more from this beer...and really, it did not deliver at all. I'm sorry to say it, but this beer is..well..kinda bad...but an enjoyable kind of bad. Its just slightly below average. Its obviates that their is a good beer here, but I cannot know for certain. I have no idea how long the beer was sitting on the shelf, so that might be it, but still, this reeks of bad brewing practice.
I give it a 2.75\5
Worth once MAYBE on sale, but still, kinda a bad beer. Il probably never try it again, and do not recommend it. Get double cream ale instead, its a far better made brew.

Appearance: Nice black body, thin tan head
Smell: smelled very boozy with a hint of chocolate
Taste: very bright, hoppy
Mouthfeel: thin but not bland, very smooth for smelling so boozy
Overall: This was my first cream stout, so I didn't know what to expect. It was a lot brighter and hoppier than any other stout I've had, but the tastes came together well, making it enjoyble to drink.

Sampling right now on 1/25/14. Had this one a few times in the past and LOVE it! Single 550ml (16.9 ounce) bottle chilled down to 36 degrees F in my beer cooker and poured into a pint glass.
Pours almost black with just a tad of a beige head which leaves some spotty lacing. Perfect carbonation and not real 'fizzy', like I like them. Smells of sweet chocolate, roasted malts and coffee. The taste is the about same and very easy to drink with NO bitter aftertaste. I simply LOVE this one! This is the best that it gets in my opinion. My favorite "Cream Stout" to date!

Served in a pint glass, I bought this beer to celebrate a special occasion, and was not disappointed.
Nice head that slowly diminished. Beer was pitch black.
I really liked this beer. Smell was not as strong as I expected given its opaque appearance.
Tasted very creamy and sweet, an ideal "dessert" beer.
Reminded me of an Irish beer I used to be able to find in the 90s. Can't remember then exact name, but it started with a W. Something like Warner's. It was a sad day when the nice man at the beer store told me they stopped making it. It was the first stout I had besides Guiness, and I thought it was amazing!

Reptilicus (2001) Horror Movie Review
Horror movies Review
You'd have to be pretty desperate to enjoy this cheesy Danish monster flick, imported by American International Pictures in 1962 to capitalize on Japan's barely-better Godzilla movies. The titular beastie begins as the frozen tail of a prehistoric reptile, discovered when a scientific drill hits a bloody mass of monster flesh buried deep in the Lapland tundra. The tail is accidentally thawed (echoes of The Thing) and regenerates into a massive demon-lizard that spits fluorescent green ooze and terrorizes Copenhagen! Padded with archival military footage and stampedes of panicking Danes, the movie's too earnest to be campy (save for some funny hamming by the science lab's handyman) and too cheap to qualify as a guilty pleasure, with special effects that make rubber-suit romps like Godzilla look masterful by comparison. By the time an unwitting army general says, "It's a good thing there are no more like him," you may find yourself wishing he was right. —Jeff Shannon

2013 NFL Draft: 3 Teams That Need to Make Drastic Moves
By Brian Filler ,
The season is over for 20 NFL franchises and the wave of offseason changes has already begun. Black Monday has come with a multitude of front office and coaching changes, some expected and some surprising.
As these teams prepare to watch the playoffs from the sidelines, they also begin to transition into offseason mode. Front office personnel are preparing to make moves in the coming months to give their organizations the best chance for the present and future.
Whether in their first or 15th season, many organizations are feeling the pressure to improve immediately. This piece will examine three NFL teams that must take drastic chances this offseason given their current situation.
The Arizona Cardinals 2012 season can be aptly summed up by Larry Fitzgerald's expression above. The Cardinals jumped out to an early 4-0 start but would lose 11 of their next 12 games. In the wake of this dismal season, head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves have been fired.
With vacancies at their two top positions, the Cardinals are in full swing to find replacements. However, at this point it is still too early to know who the new faces of this organization will be.
It is hardly bold to claim that the Cardinals are in desperate need of a quarterback change, but that is exactly what must happen this offseason. The Kevin Kolb trade is quickly going down as one of the worst in recent memory and still haunts the Cardinals today. In order to move forward, the Cardinals' new management will need to be willing to part with past mistakes and make immediate changes.
The Cardinals have a team that is ready to compete right away with one of the league's best young defenses and an elite receiver in Fitzgerald. Michael Vick needs to be considered as the first option to right the ship in free agency. Vick still has the arm strength and talent to succeed in the NFL and will be one of the hottest commodities in free agency.
If the Cardinals elect to pass on a quarterback in free agency, they must use one of their first two picks (seventh and 39th overall). This draft class may not be flush with the quarterback talent from 2012, but the Cardinals cannot afford to wait.
If Geno Smith somehow slips, the Cardinals must jump at the opportunity to bring in the dynamic Mountaineer. Outside of Smith, the coaching and scouting staff will have to decide which of the remaining quarterbacks fit the new offensive system. Possible names to consider beyond Smith include Matt Barkley, Zac Dysert, Mike Glennon and Tyler Wilson.
The Buffalo Bills are another organization with plenty of pieces in place but lacking a true signal-caller. As part of the offseason fat trimming in the NFL, the Bills fired head coach Chan Gailey. The search for a new head coach is currently under way.
The Bills also made a change in front office management with owner Ralph Wilson stepping down as the ultimate decision-maker. Russ Brandon, the team's chief operating officer, was promoted to team president, but general manager Buddy Nix will still have power over personnel moves.
Russ Brandon needs to follow a similar formula to the Arizona Cardinals and do everything he can to secure a reliable signal-caller. Far too much money has been invested in Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has proven to be anything but consistent.
Michael Vick makes plenty of sense for the Bills with the offensive pieces in place. C.J. Spiller and Stevie Johnson are dynamic threats similar to those Vick had in Philadelphia.
In the draft, the Bills are rumored to be very interested in NC State's Mike Glennon. Glennon has the size and arm strength to be able to drive the ball through the tough winds of upstate New York. However, Glennon is far from a finished product and will require patience as he works through some growing pains.
Whether through free agency or the draft, the Buffalo Bills cannot afford to stick with the status quo. The Bills' key position players are hitting their prime and Buffalo can no longer wait for Fitzpatrick to improve. A major upgrade at the quarterback position is necessary if the Bills hope to contend for a playoff spot in the near future.
The St. Louis Rams are one of the hottest young teams in the NFL and are in position to be a consistent playoff threat. Head coach Jeff Fisher has transformed this perennial underdog into a legitimate threat for the future.
The Rams made the single best investment in their future last season by trading the second overall pick to Washington. This one trade yielded an extra second-round pick last year and an additional first-round pick in 2013 and 2014. The Rams cannot afford to treat these next two drafts as they have in the past.
With the development of young defensive standouts like Chris Long, Janoris Jenkins and Robert Quinn, the Rams will be a force to reckoned with for years to come. What the Rams have in defensive talent, however, they lack in offensive production. The Rams' biggest struggles to date have come from their offensive line, and now they must be aggressive in implementing change.
The Rams will have the 16th and an unknown extra first-round pick in 2013. In order to protect their franchise quarterback, the Rams must be aggressive in securing at least one elite offensive linemen. Depending on how the top 10 picks shake out, the Rams can elect to stick with their initial positions or use their ammunition to maneuver into a higher slot.
Pass protection must be the biggest priority for the Rams this offseason, and this year's draft class is the perfect time to do it. The Rams need to aim for either one of three offensive tackles (Joeckel, Lewan or Matthews) or one of two guards (Warmack or Cooper). Any of these players would provide an instant upgrade to the offensive line.

Bass on Top is another thoroughly engaging set of straight-ahead, mainstream jazz from Paul Chambers. The bassist leads a quartet comprised of guitarist Kenny Burrell, pianist Hank Jones, and drummer Art Taylor through a selection of standards, including "Yesterdays," "You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To," and "Dear Old Stockholm," as well as a handful of contemporary jazz numbers and originals. There's a relaxed, friendly atmosphere to the music, both in its tone and in the fact that Chambers lets Jones and Burrell have some time in the spotlight. The result is a warm, entertaining collection of mainstream jazz that nevertheless rewards close listening. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Functional binding between Gβ and the LIM domain of Ste5 is required to activate the MEKK Ste11
Current Biology, Volume 8, Issue 5, 26 February 1998, Pages 267-282
Yuanyi Feng, Lin Ye Song, Eleanor Kincaid, Sanjoy K. Mahanty and Elaine A. Elion
SummaryBackground: In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the pheromones that induce haploid cells of opposite cell types to mate activate the Gβ and Gγ subunits of a heterotrimeric G protein. These subunits signal through the PAK kinase Ste20 to activate a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade comprising the MEKK Ste11, the MEK Ste7 and two MAP kinases, Fus3 and Kss1. The pathway requires Ste5, a scaffold protein that tethers the MAP kinase cascade enzymes into a high molecular weight complex. Ste5 is thought to associate with Gβ in a pheromone-independent manner, but it is not known if this interaction affects signaling.Results: A ste5C180A mutant – which expresses Ste5 disrupted in the LIM domain, a putative metal-binding motif that has been proposed to be essential for Ste5 oligomerization – could not transmit the pheromone signal from Gβ through Ste20 to Ste11. The Ste5C180A protein was impaired in binding Gβ, although it could oligomerize, bind Ste11, Ste7 and Fus3, facilitate the basal activation of Ste11, and relay the Ste11 signal to MAP kinases. Ste5 bound to Gβ in a pheromone-dependent manner and preferentially associated with a phosphorylated form of Gβ in wild-type and ste20Δ, but not in ste5C180A, strains.Conclusions: Pheromone induces binding of Gβ to Ste5 through its LIM domain. This binding is essential for activation of Ste11 and is distinct from the ability of Ste5 to oligomerize or to serve as a scaffold and relay the signal from Ste11 to the MAP kinases. Pheromone also induces Ste5-dependent phosphorylation of Gβ.

The Ste5 Scaffold Directs Mating Signaling by Catalytically Unlocking the Fus3 MAP Kinase for Activation
Cell, Volume 136, Issue 6, 20 March 2009, Pages 1085-1097
Matthew Good, Grace Tang, Julie Singleton, Attila Reményi and Wendell A. Lim
SummaryThe scaffold protein Ste5 is required to properly direct signaling through the yeast mating pathway to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Fus3. Scaffolds are thought to function by tethering kinase and substrate in proximity. We find, however, that the previously identified Fus3-binding site on Ste5 is not required for signaling, suggesting an alternative mechanism controls Fus3's activation by the MAPKK Ste7. Reconstituting MAPK signaling in vitro, we find that Fus3 is an intrinsically poor substrate for Ste7, although the related filamentation MAPK, Kss1, is an excellent substrate. We identify and structurally characterize a domain in Ste5 that catalytically unlocks Fus3 for phosphorylation by Ste7. This domain selectively increases the kcat of Ste7→Fus3 phosphorylation but has no effect on Ste7→Kss1 phosphorylation. The dual requirement for both Ste7 and this Ste5 domain in Fus3 activation explains why Fus3 is selectively activated by the mating pathway and not by other pathways that also utilize Ste7.

Role of scaffolds in MAP kinase pathway specificity revealed by custom design of pathway-dedicated signaling proteins
Current Biology, Volume 11, Issue 23, 27 November 2001, Pages 1815-1824
Kendra Harris, Rachel E. Lamson, Bryce Nelson, Timothy R. Hughes, Matthew J. Marton, Christopher J. Roberts, Charles Boone and Peter M. Pryciak
SummaryBackground: Signal transduction pathways with shared components must be insulated from each other to avoid the inappropriate activation of multiple pathways by a single stimulus. Scaffold proteins are thought to contribute to this specificity by binding select substrates.Results: We have studied the ability of scaffold proteins to influence signaling by the yeast kinase Ste11, a MAPKKK molecule that participates in three distinct MAP kinase pathways: mating, filamentation, and HOG. We used protein fusions to force Ste11 to associate preferentially with a subset of its possible binding partners in vivo, including Ste5, Ste7, and Pbs2. Signaling became confined to a particular pathway when Ste11 was covalently attached to these scaffolds or substrates. This pathway bias was conferred upon both stimulus-activated and constitutively active forms of Ste11. We also used membrane-targeted derivatives of the mating pathway scaffold, Ste5, to show that stimulus-independent signaling initiated by this scaffold remained pathway specific. Finally, we demonstrate that loss of pathway insulation has a negative physiological consequence, as nonspecific activation of both the HOG and mating pathways interfered with proper execution of the mating pathway.Conclusions: The signaling properties of these kinase fusions support a model in which scaffold proteins dictate substrate choice and promote pathway specificity by presenting preferred substrates in high local concentration. Furthermore, insulation is inherent to scaffold-mediated signaling and does not require that signaling be initiated by pathway-specific stimuli or activator proteins. Our results give insight into the mechanisms and physiological importance of pathway insulation and provide a foundation for the design of customized signaling proteins.

Add/View Comments (0)Ste5 tethers multiple protein kinases in the MAP kinase cascade required for mating in S. cerevisiae
Kang-Yell Chol, Brett Satterberg, David M. Lyons and Elaine A. Elion
- Ste5 is a Zn2+ finger-like protein thought to function before three kinases, Ste11 (a MEKK), Ste7 (a MEK), and Fus3 (a MAPK), in a conserved MAP kinase cascade required for mating in S. cerevisiae. Here, we present evidence that Ste5 forms a multikinase complex that joins these kinases for efficient Fus3 activation. By two-hybrid analysis, Ste11, Ste7, and Fus3 associate with different domains of Ste5, while Kss1, another MAPK, associates with the same domain as Fus3, thus implying that Ste5 simultaneously binds a MEKK, MEK, and MAPK. Ste5 copurifies with Ste11, Fus3, and a hypophosphorylated form of Ste7, and all four proteins cosediment in a glycerol gradient as if in a large complex. Ste5 also increases the amount of Ste11 complexed to Ste7 and Fus3 and is required for Ste11 to function. These results substantiate a novel signal transduction component that physically links multiple kinases within a single cascade.

I was skeptical at first-expensive to have to wait a couple of months for results-but boy! am I pleased that I did! It took about 6 weeks to start seeing results-but now-about 4 months later-I have long-thick-dark-luxurious lashes-before breakfast! That's right-my lashes look great right after I roll out of bed-I really have no need for mascara anymore-and I wear a lot LESS eye makeup-and have had a LOT of comments on my eyes-of course I do tell my secret-I think everyone should know! To make a long story short-this product has made me very happy!

HI chilelady,
Welcome to the community. I'm so happy you are having such great results. Not having to wear as much mascara or eye makeup would be great. Other community members have mentioned side effects have you noticed any and do you have pictures? Please keep us updated and thanks for the review.

Appreciate your Parents
For better or worse, I cite my personal experience.
1. They brought three older siblings and me into the world and provided for us. We bore their mark.
2. I appreciate their stoicism. They were deep country farm types. From them I learned to accept bad news with poise.
3. They taught me to laugh. My dad told fun stories, was good on dialects. My mother was an encourager yet cut me down to size when needed.
4. They gave me a faith I haven't retained but grounding from that faith that in God's eyes I'm no better than anyone else.
5. My dad found work all through the depression. We never missed a meal. He taught me resourcefulness.
6. I've forgiven myself for being oblivious to their unconditional love for me—and appreciate all the things they did for me I'll never be fully aware of.
7. I often wanted more but know they did the best they could.

LMARS Elmers and VEs - Getting Started With Amateur Radio
What is an Elmer?
An Elmer is a person who teaches and offers guidance to neophyte amateur radio operators.
The term first appeared in the March, 1971 issue of QST magazine's "How's DX" column by Rod Newkirk, W9BRD (now also VA3ZBB). Newkirk called them "the unsung fathers of Amateur Radio." While he probably was not trying to coin a term at the time, here's how Newkirk introduced "Elmer" in his column and, as it turned out, to the rest of the amateur radio world: "Too frequently one hears a sad story in this little nutshell: 'Oh, I almost got a ticket, too, but Elmer, W9XYZ, moved away and I kind of lost interest.'" Newkirk went on to say, "We need those Elmers. All the Elmers, including the ham who took the most time and trouble to give you a push toward your license, are the birds who keep this great game young and fresh."

It's Dead Jim!!! Or how my EeePC 1000 died
I love/loved my ASUS-Tek EeePC 1000, it is was (nearly) indestructible. It went to Mexico with me and returned several times, surviving airport security,… it went on many a dive boat in both fresh and salt water,… I lugged it all across Ontario,… it went hundreds of kilometres with me on my bike,… it has been dropped,… it has even accidentally flown across the room. The one thing thing that finally did it in was the May two-four weekend rain storm. It got soaked while it was powered on in sleep mode, the battery in,… This it could not take.
So I operated,… The patient could not be revived,…
I extracted,…
These are the hard drives, the smaller of the two is a fast 8 Gig SSD (actually very slow compared to today's SSDs), the other is a slower 32 Gig SSD. These were the only two things I needed to work,… but it became obvious to me after several different Mini PCIe interface devices that the water that caused the motherboard of my EeePC to short out also killed my two SSDs.
Luckily, and not through any purposeful planning on my own, I had backups of my files else where. It took a few weeks to piece it altogether again. Accounting files, most of my music (lost some), The Wingnuterer files and all my software installs (a considerable amount of financial investment there).
Anyways, I have since replaced my ASUS-Tek EeePC 1000 with a ASUS-Tek EeePC 1015PN (with tint control). The new EeePC isn't as robust as the old, it has a mechanical HD, but I will replace that shortly,… until then,… and forever after,… backups!!!

Anyways, what happened to Mr. Harper supporting Mubarak and all that good stuff? Is he taking lessons on flip-flopping or what? Does this mean we are now funding the Muslim Brotherhood?
I can't wait to hear what Glenn Beck has to say tonight "It's a military, Islamo-Marxist Coo-Dah-Tah and those Socialist-Commie Canadians are funding them, it's the end of the world,…." I don't think there will be enough chalkboards to hold Beckerheads loonie raving tonight. I just loves these people, they so crazy.
Seriously though, why are rightwing nuttersall so pro democracy when it came to bring democracy to Iraq and Afganistan, but now in Egypt it is bad.

Unchi, Sining (1996) Acetylation of Acacia Mangium Wood Fibres and its Application in the Medium Density Fibreboard. PhD thesis, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.
1936Kb |
The effective utilisation of low quality wood of Acacia mangium Willd. would be for the production of medium density fibre board (MDF). However, MDF is susceptable to biodegradation and dimensionally unstable when in contact with water, which is also associated with the deterioration of the mechanical and physical properties of the board. Nonetheless, research on wood has shown that it is possible to eliminate the biodegradation and dimensional in stability through chemical modification. This study was there fore conducted with the aim of evaluating the acetylation characteristics of Acacia mangium wood fibres and the properties and performances of the board produced. pilot acetylation was conducted to establish the optimum reaction conditions, which was subsequently used as a guide in the bulk acetylation of the fibres. Boards were manufactured from both the acetylated and unacetylated fibres and the properties and performances of the boards were evaluated.

Recipe by CLAREKOE
"You won't need to grate carrots by hand for this recipe, because the wet ingredients are combined in the blender."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup sliced carrots
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
I grated my carrots and substituted coconut for the raisins and added almonds. Very Yummy! A tropical feel... It was gone quickly.
These were pretty dry and tasleless. I ended up throwing them away ( I made muffins instead of bread). These was no pineapple taste at all. I wonder if the flour measurement is right, seemed like a lot.

Being from suffern I like the fact pictures on the wall. But it was loud with kids playing video games and basketball. (Which is fine if your at chucky cheese and your food can back it up.) stay away from this place. I'm not a picky eater. But I'm use to good to decent foods. I couldn't get that here.

Alex was the world to my mother. My mother did have abdominal discomfort years before she died. She went to every doctor possible, and no doctor found anything. She even had a hysterectomy because of the discomfort in her abdomen. If my mothers GIST was found sooner, maybe she would be taking Gleevec( a drug used for this type of cancer)and be alive today to see her grandchildren grow. But she is not because GIST is a cancer, that is rare and there is not a lot of awareness of it.
I went to the doctor the other day for a checkup and when asked any new family history… I said " My mother died a year and a half ago of a very rare type of cancer…called GIST." The doctor had no clue what it was and asked me what it was! How sad! I am not a doctor and a doctor is asking me…
I am telling this story because I dont want what happened to my mother to happen to anyone else. I miss my mother more than words could express, but every new person that knows about GIST makes me a little happier.

Is there a right way to quit a job you hate?
By now, you've no doubt seen accounts of how frustrated flight attendant Steven Slater told off a reportedly rude customer, grabbed himself a cold one, and slid down the plane's emergency chute.
[Photo by The Chive]
Like many Americans, there's a decent chance you cheered the guy on, despite the fact that opening the escape slide without checking to see whether any runway workers were in the line of fire wasn't the swiftest move. (No judgment here of those who cheered. I gave the guy props too.)
Perhaps you also saw this week's excellent Take This Job and Shove It! moment on TheChive.com, where a disgruntled office lackey uses a dry erase board to tell her boss where he can stick it, outing his sexist, slothful ways in the process. If you're a warm-blooded working stiff like the rest of us, you likely were disappointed to learn that this fantastic kiss-off was a hoax.
I'm guessing that telling the boss what he or she can kiss and storming off the job is one of the week's top water cooler topics. But as a few hysterical media pundits and online commenters have speculated, I sincerely doubt this means we'll see a wave of assistants, flight attendants, and customer service folks following suit.
Maybe Slater has a wad of cash in the bank or some other backup plan (because he certainly won't be working for JetBlue or any other airline again). Or maybe he just has a short fuse. For better or worse, a majority of disenfranchised workers have neither. So we learn to pick our employment battles wisely and accept our small victories where we can -- an extra day of telecommuting here, a small pay bump there. All the while, we quietly work on building an escape chute of our own, whether that means putting out feelers for a new position, starting our own venture on the side, getting trained in a new vocation during evenings and weekends, saving our pennies so we can take a year off to travel, or something else entirely.
I'm tired of all the advice that tells frustrated workers to suck it up, that this is not the year to quit, that as long as a person is not in physical danger and is not being harassed, making the most of a miserable situation is their best bet. But frankly, if ever there was a time to not burn bridges, it's now. In a job market as tricky as this one, the last thing you want to do is lose a key reference or three or go down in history as the employee your company wishes never existed. Whether your escape chute involves working toward a new job, a new career, or self-employment, chances are you'll benefit more from keeping the respect and support of the hand that feeds you than giving it the one-finger salute and riding off in a blaze of glory.

Yo.. this is kinda slow
But I know the Jeeps gon' be pumpin it
But this is, this is one subject, that nobody don't know about
[Verse One]
Check him out, check him out, check him out, check him out
With the beat I'm gonna rock the house
When you hear my golden voice, you know it's me
The poetical, energetical rap MC
Well that's not the subject matter of to be cool
I'm just tellin you girls and fly kids, stay in school
I always reminisce when I was in class well
But you feel like a simpletone when you get expelled
Or, even if you have a couple of days in detention
It's just as good as one bad suspension
So when you're grown up, you'll say the same thing
to your kids, be in class before the bell ring
But you know, kids is kids
To them high school is like a three year bid
I'm not gonna tell a lie, I used to cut class
Until the principal straight got in my ass
He said, "Biz the only way you're gonna get a BM
is to get your education instead of hangin with him"
So I got my head together, and chilled the hell out
And now all the break-breakers says is check him out
Check him out, check him out, check him out, check him out
With the beat I'm gonna rock the house
Check him out, check him out, check him out, check him out
With the beat I'm gonna rock the house! [echoes]
[Verse Two]
Now this is the second part of this lesson
I'm sayin it this way cause it's my profession
You don't have to go to high school to be an MC
But you got to know the value and means, of money
Cause a lot of parents, they are taxpayers
So it's real stupid, when you disobey a
principal, vice principal or even a teacher
Cause when you do that, you know you'll never reach a
higher level, or even your goal
Because, you don't wanna listen to what you're told
So please take heed, to what I say
I hope I'm not sayin it for my health today
Cause if I am please tell me, so I can stop
It's not like I'm your mother sister brother or pop
So come on and listen to me without no doubt
So you can be educated and have, clout
[Verse Three]
I'm just tellin young people to stay away from drugs
Cause if you mess with that it'll make you bug
Whatever you wanna, like call it, I'm tellin you
Don't become a drug addict or alcoholic
Because it will mess with your mind and brain
And only thing you wanna do is fiend and complain
Cause I'm tellin you just like this off the top of my head
Don't mess with it, cause you will be misled
by other people, devils and demons
I'm Biz Markie, I'm not Alfred Simmons
I'm just tellin you to do this, without no doubt
Cause I'm the Biz and I got the clout

Jobing.com Arena, Glendale, Arizona
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Radim Vrbata took the pass from behind the net and drifted around the crease, in no hurry to shoot. Just as it seemed his window of opportunity was about to close, Vrbata lifted a shot over the sprawled-out goalie, earning another game-winning goal.
When it's going this good, there's no need to rush.
Vrbata scored his career-high 28th goal 1:15 into overtime, Mike Smith stopped 30 shots, and the Phoenix Coyotes earned a point in their eighth straight game with a 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.
More Dallas Stars coverage
Can't get enough hockey? ESPNDallas.com has all the latest on the Stars from Richard Durrett. Blog
"I don't know what to say about it," Vrbata said after his 10th game-winner of the season. "Lately, it seems like those are important goals. That's the way I've been able to help the team, so I'm happy with it."
Phoenix has surged up the standings since the All-Star break, moving within two points of Pacific Division-leading San Jose after its latest win.
The Coyotes have done it behind superb goaltending, opportunistic scoring, and contributions from unexpected places.
Mikkel Boedker gave Phoenix a lift early against Dallas, scoring his first goal in 21 games. Smith was steady throughout, withstanding a flurry of shots in the third period after having a long scoreless streak end.
Ray Whitney, having a superb season at 39, set up the game-winner by snatching the puck from unsuspecting defenseman Mark Fistric behind the Stars' net.
Vrbata finished it off by waiting for goalie Kari Lehtonen to commit before lifting a shot just under the crossbar.
"It's huge points for us against a team that's below us in the standings," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "But we've got to find a way to be better than we were."
The Stars felt as though they let one get away.
Playing without leading scorer Jamie Benn (left knee laceration), Dallas overcame Boedker's first-period goal to tie it behind Michael Ryder's 22nd goal in the second. Lehtonen was superb at times, turning away 31 shots. The Stars picked up the intensity when they needed to, spending a good chunk of the third period in Phoenix's end.
Good, but not good enough, leaving Dallas three points out of eighth in the Western Conference.
"We played hard, but we need results," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. "It's a results-based business and we need results. We need to capitalize, and we can't make a mistake at the end to give a point away."
After a mediocre first half of the season, the Coyotes have made another February charge.
Phoenix had a winning streak of at least five games after the All-Star break in each of the past three seasons, including last year, when it earned 16 points in 17 games. This season, the Coyotes opened the second half with a loss to Anaheim, then reeled off a 6-0-1 run to move from 12th in the Western Conference to seventh.
Smith has been a big part of it.
The former Stars backup has been stellar during Phoenix's run, allowing three goals in five games, including consecutive shutouts against Chicago and Los Angeles.
Smith was sharp early against Dallas, with 13 saves in the first period, and snatched a shot by Ryan Garbutt with his glove in the second.
The Stars thought they had ended Smith's scoreless streak midway through the second period, when Tomas Vincour punched in a rebound. The goal was waved off, though, because Adam Burish was called for high-sticking on a redirect just before the shot.
Dallas kept up the pressure to set up a 5-of-3 power play late in the period and broke through on the second penalty when Ryder swiped a rebound past Smith. That ended Smith's career-best scoreless streak at 171 minutes, 26 seconds.
He was good after that, though, stopping 10 shots in the third period to force overtime.
"Smitty was unbelievable," Coyotes captain Shane Doan. "We've just got to find a way to score more goals for him."
The Stars had lost three straight and four of five before beating the Flames in overtime Thursday night. That gave them 65 points, four behind Phoenix and Los Angeles, and in 11th place in the West.
Dallas gave up a lot of good chances early in front of Lehtonen, and Boedker broke through with his eighth goal on a rush. The Stars picked up the pressure in the second period to get Ryder's goal and were all over the Coyotes in the third, creating one good chance after another. They couldn't break through, losing a chance to make up ground on a team ahead of them in the standings.
"When you get that close, it's always hard, but I think it was promising the way we played," Lehtonen said. "We were gritty and worked hard. I think overall it was the way we needed to play and keep playing."
Game notes
Coyotes D Rostislav Klesla didn't play after sustaining an upper body injury from a hard check by Los Angeles' Dustin Brown on Thursday. C Martin Hanzal also sat out the third period after sustaining a lower body injury. ... Dallas C Tom Wandell left in the second period after a puck off the stick of Phoenix's Keith Yandle struck him in the face. He returned for the third. ... Rocker Alice Cooper, a Valley resident, was part of the ceremonial puck drop. The first 10,000 fans were given a bobblehead with him wearing a Coyotes jersey.

The X List: 12 ways Rick Perry can save his presidential campaign
Sadly, sacking and pillaging the Temple in Salt Lake City is not a viable option.
Following a series of hilarious gaffes, it appears that beloved Texas governor Rick Perry's presidential campaign might already be in its death throes. Fortunately for him, America is the Land of Second and Third Chances. Here are 12 suggestions that should breathe a little life into his presidential hopes.
Idea #1: Put on a fat suit and tranny makeup and change your name to Tyler.
Idea #2: Formulate a series of domestic, economic, and foreign policies that don't change every 10 minutes, in order to make them easier to remember.
Idea #3: Use Texas' 20,000 National Guardsmen to launch a full-scale invasion of Juarez, take out those pinko commie drug cartels and freely distribute hundreds of tons of cocaine and heroin to every man, woman, and child in America.
Idea #4: Show up to the next debate with a light saber and a billowing black cloak; claim you are Luke Perry's father.
Idea #5: Start an Alamo-esque rallying cry of "REMEMBER THE... THE... THE THIRD ONE!!"
Idea #6: Fire your debate coaches.
Idea #7: Save a half-naked Michele Bachmann from a pack of atheist gorillas.
Idea #8: Strap on a scuba suit and find Osama bin Laden's waterlogged corpse; prop him up on an electric chair in Huntsville, and utter "You wanted 70 virgins ... here's 70,000 volts, melon farmer!!" while you sit at your desk in your office and some guy on your payroll throws the switch.
Idea #9: After gathering data from a quick internet poll, proclaim that if elected you will launch a full-scale invasion of Orgrimmar.
Idea #10: Simplify the message by eliminating just two things at once.
Idea #11: Tell Herman Cain to his face that The Godfather was a piece of ****.
Idea #12: Challenge Vladimir Putin to a 90-round shirtless barefisted boxing match, with the loser admitting that they're gay.

Recent rapid responses
Rapid responses are electronic letters to the editor. They enable our users to debate issues raised in articles published on bmj.com. Although a selection of rapid responses will be included as edited readers' letters in the weekly print issue of the BMJ, their first appearance online means that they are published articles. If you need the url (web address) of an individual response, perhaps for citation purposes, simply click on the response headline and copy the url from the browser window.

Also in the EU differences between generic medicinal products and their originators exist. Many older products have several originators in various memberstates and often the product informations are not harmonised. These differences naturally extend to their generics.
Another reason is data protection. If the originator gets an additional indication approved, this is protected and the new indication must not be listed in the product information. This is unfortunately also the case for safety-information generated during this so called line-extension. There are situations where this is appropriate, eg. in case of higher doses for particular indications. Often this is legally required nonsense.
