Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"Only one sin is nowadays severely punished: the attentive observance of the traditions of our Fathers. For that reason the good ones are thrown out of their places and brought to the desert."

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

Actress Ashley Judd and racecar driver Dario Franchitti have split.
"We have mutually decided to end our marriage. We'll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed," a spokesperson for the former couple told People on behalf of the stars, on Tuesday.
Ashley and Dario married in 2001.
In an interview with Redbook magazine in 2009, Ashley said the pair had a ritual of speaking to each other every night on the phone at 6 PM when they weren't together.
"Dario and I do an appreciation every day. And I do them with my friends," she said.
"We do it every day. It was a suggestion from a friend who does it with his wife. Sometimes it's [she mimics gritting her teeth in annoyance and spits out], 'I really appreciate…' But that's the point of the exercise — even when one is cross, to get some gratitude on board," she added.
Dario won the Indy 500 in 2007.

The present application is a National Phase Application of International Application No. PCT/AU2006/001242, filed Aug. 25, 2006, which claims priority to Australian Patent Application No. 2005904664 filed Aug. 26, 2005, which applications are incorporated herein fully by this reference.
The invention relates to hydrolases obtainable from grains for use in food processing and manufacturing industries, to the germination of grains such as barley and to isolation of enzymes from grains.
Many hydrolytic enzymes of grains, of which limit dextrinase (EC 188.8.131.52), α and β amylase (EC 22.214.171.124 and EC 220.127.116.11 respectively), 1-6-β-glucanase (EC 18.104.22.168), β1,4-xylanase (EC-18.104.22.168), arabinoxylanase (EC 22.214.171.124), and β glucosidase (EC 18.104.22.168) are examples, have found application in a variety of industries, and in particular, in food processing and manufacturing industries.
These enzymes, otherwise known as hydrolases, are typically obtained for commercial application from tissues such as plant tissue, including grains, pulses, legumes and the like and bacterial fermentations and the like. In some circumstances these enzymes may be produced in recombinant expression systems.
A problem with some of the processes by which many hydrolases are obtained for commercial application is that they tend to provide for a sub-optimal yield of hydrolase. Hence, considerable expense is incurred in obtaining commercial quantities of hydrolases.
There is a need for improvements in processes for obtaining hydrolases, especially improvements that are associated with improved yields of hydrolases.
In summary, in certain embodiments there is provided a process for increasing the amount of, or expression of an enzyme in a grain.
In other embodiments there is provided a process for producing a grain having a high relative abundance of an enzyme.
In other embodiments there is provided a process for producing an enzyme.
In further embodiment there is provided a process for extracting, purifying or isolating an enzyme for a grain having a high relative abundance of an enzyme.
Typically the process involves wounding a grain that is undergoing germination to form a wounded grain having at least one site of tissue damage that can be at least partially repaired by the wounded grain and permitting the wounded grain to at least partially repair an at least one site of tissue damage of the wounded grain to form a repaired grain. Otherwise stated, conditions are provided to a grain that provide for germination of a grain and that provide for one or more wounds to be applied to a grain. These conditions provide for a wound applied to a grain to be repaired by the grain.
In some embodiments the process includes allowing a rootlet to grow from a grain, removing the rootlet from the grain and growing a further rootlet from the grain.
In certain embodiments, a process for extracting, purifying or isolating an enzyme from a grain having a high relative abundance of an enzyme includes the further step of releasing or otherwise extracting and/or purifying or isolating an enzyme from a grain having a high relative abundance of an enzyme.
In further embodiments there is provided a grain having a high relative abundance of an enzyme. The grain is typically formed from a process involving providing conditions to a grain that provide for germination of the grain and for one or more wounds to be applied to the grain. These conditions also provide for a wound on a grain to be repaired by the grain.
It has been found that the expression of hydrolases can be significantly increased, leading to a significant increase in the relative abundance or otherwise relative amount of a hydrolase in a tissue, in circumstances wherein a tissue is wounded and permitted to repair. Specifically, as described herein, it has been found that barley grains grown in conditions in which the grains were subjected to wounding and repair had amounts of hydrolases, α-amylase EC 184.108.40.206 and β-amylase EC 184.108.40.206, as much as 1.7 fold and 0.05 fold greater than barley grains grown in conditions not involving wounding and repair. Other hydrolases, limit dextrinase EC 18.104.22.168 and β1,4-xylanase EC 220.127.116.11 were found in up to 16.8 and 6.5 fold greater amounts in these grains.
These findings are particularly significant because when the grains the subject of injury and repair are processed for release of enzymes according to commercial extraction processes or otherwise, improved yields of hydrolytic enzymes can be obtained.
Thus in certain embodiments there is provided a process for increasing the amount of, or expression of an enzyme in a grain. The process includes the step of providing conditions to a grain that provide for germination of the grain and for one or more wounds to be applied to the grain, or in other words, for germinating a grain in conditions in which the grain is wounded by application of one or more wounds to the grain.
In other embodiments there is provided a process for producing a grain having a high relative abundance of an enzyme. The process includes the step of providing conditions to a grain that provide for germination of the grain and for one or more wounds to be applied to the grain.
In one embodiment, the grain is a barley grain. However, it will be understood that other grains may be processed, including, for example, rice, wheat, corm, maize and the like. Further, legumes and pulses such as lentils, soybeans and the like may also be processed.
It is important that the greater proportion of grains subjected to the process are not lethally wounded. A lethal wound tends to be one that results in death of a grain embryo, or one that otherwise prevents a grain from at least partially repairing a wound applied to the grain,�or otherwise from germinating.
Further, as discussed in more detail below, it has been found that a live grain embryo is associated with the enhanced secretion of one or more enzymes from a grain during germination.
The grain may be wounded by applying a physical treatment to the grain. Physical treatments include those that result in abrasion, laceration, tumbling, agitation or compression of the grain. Other forms of physical treatment are contemplated.
Particularly useful physical treatments are those that cause injury to a rootlet or part thereof such as a rootlet tip, or that remove a rootlet or part thereof from a grain, or an injury to a shoot, grain husk or pericarp. A treatment that results in an affect on an outer layer of a grain, aleurone layer or hemicellulose layer or like may also be useful.
An example of a process for abrasion of a grain is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,754,929. A process for compression of a grain is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,052,795.
Grain may also be wounded by one or more of chemical treatment, exposure to temperature, pressure or radiation.
Chemical treatments include alkali treatment. This treatment is particularly useful, among other things, for solubilizing or partially solubilizing the grain husk. An example of an alkali treatment is one wherein grains are conditioned over a time course of 24 hours during a second steep.
Other forms of chemical treatment include treatment with ammonia. An example of chemical treatment with ammonia is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,134,724.
As noted above, the grain may be wounded by heating the grain. Generally speaking, a grain should not be heated beyond 40� C. as above these temperatures, a grain embryo may be lethally wounded. Heating is generally performed during a second steep. Heating may be useful for softening a glucan outer husk of a grain.
A particularly useful wounding regimen is to apply a treatment to the grain that causes removal of a rootlet from the grain and in which repair mechanisms cause re-growth of a further rootlet from the wounded grain. In certain embodiments the rootlets are grown to about 5 to 7 days from the start of germination, although other time periods may be appropriate. Generally it is preferred to have removed rootlets before 12 days from the start of germination, and in some instances, earlier than this, for example, 10 days from the start of germination.
Although it is particularly useful to remove roots, rootlets, rot tips and shoots and shoot tips, in certain embodiments other grain organs may be removed, examples of which include grain husk and associated layers.
Generally speaking, roots, shoots or the like need only be removed once from a grain for there to be an enhancement in enzyme production beyond that observed iri unwounded grain. In certain embodiments, a treatment for wounding a grain is applied repeatedly. This has advantages for ensuring that all grains are wounded at least once, for example by removal of a root, shoot or the like once from each grain. This may be useful particularly as at any one time that a treatment is applied, not all grains may have reached the same stage of development of organ. Further in certain embodiments it is advantageous to remove more than one root, shoot or the like from a grain.
It will be understood that it is not necessary to re-injure a repaired grain. Further, it is not necessary that an injured grain undergo complete repair.
An example of an apparatus for applying a wound is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,174,909. Generally, an apparatus may be comprised of a drum for holding grains, the drum having an internal baffle, in use, for agitating grains contained in the drum when the drum is rolled, and a roller for rolling the drum.
Thus in certain embodiments there is provided a process for increasing the amount of a hydrolytic enzyme in a grain including:
Germination is generally recognised as a process characterised by one or more of hydration of tissue leading to modulation of volume of a grain, modulation of enzyme activity, change in endosperm structure and composition and modulation of embryo activity.
Typically, the grains to which conditions for injury and repair are applied are grains that are undergoing germination i.e. grains that at the time of application of injury are about to germinate, or grains that are in an active state of germination at the time of application of injury, or grains that have completed germination at the time of application of injury.
In certain embodiments, the grains are in an active state of germination at the time of application of injury and remain in that state during repair and subsequent further injury and repair steps.
Typically, the grains have a moisture content of about 40% or less at the time that the injury and repair processes occur. The moisture content is a proportion of dry weight over hydrated weight. A moisture content of about 30-35% as a proportion of dry weight is particularly useful in certain embodiments.
Generally the moisture content is more than about 10%, more than about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30% to 35% and generally should not exceed 40%.
In certain embodiments, the moisture content is more than about 25% after steeping and about 30% to 35% post an extended germination period and should not exceed 40% at any time. The desired moisture content may be obtained by steeping the grains in an appropriate aqueous solution. The solution may simply be water, or it may include other compounds such as growth promoters, such as gibberellic acid, anti-microbials (such as SO2) especially anti-fungals, or other compounds such as NH4OH alkalis to soften the grain and raise the pH.
The steep may consist of a single steeping step, or it may consist of multiple steeping steps, each step characterised according to the conditions applied during each steep. For example a first steep might include conditions in which grain is hydrated to less than about 40%. For example a grain may be hydrated from an initial grain moisture of about 10% to about 20% moisture content in the presence of about 50 ppm SO2 for about 12-24 hours in the first steep. This solution may then be removed to exclude any bacteria and avoid any continued reaction with SO2 on surface proteins or glucans. A second steep step might include adjusting hydration of the grain to about 20-30% moisture content at an increased pH up to 8.0, in the presence of 5-20 ppm gibberellic acid and perhaps some minor heating to 40� C. in the last hour for a total steeping time of 12-24 hours.
In certain embodiments, the grain is steeped for about 5 days, although it may be steeped for fewer days, for example, 1, 2, 3 or 4 days. Further, there may be benefit in steeping the grain for longer than 5 days. However, in these circumstances it becomes more difficult to control fungal contamination during the steeping process.
Further, a grain may be subjected to injury and/or repair prior to steeping, during steeping, or after steeping (i.e. at �steep out�).
It will be understood that in certain embodiments conventional steeping steps may not be required.
Where one or more steeping steps are implemented, the grain may be injured and permitted to repair for a period of up to 12 days after the completion of the steeping steps, although injury and repair may occur across a greater time. The length of time is dependent in part on the enzymes that are increased in the grain. Times that are suitable to specific grains are discussed further herein. In certain embodiments, the grain is injured and permitted to repair about 3 days after steeping is completed, about 5 days after steeping is completed or about 10 days after steeping is completed. During these times, the grain may be treated with a growth promoter such as gibberellic acid and maintained at less than 35% moisture in the presence of light.
In certain embodiments the conditions are controlled so as to minimise respiration of the grains during steeping or germination. Respiration is generally understood as a process by which energy is released from molecules such as carbohydrates. One advantage of limiting respiration is to minimise the extent of biochemical processes that are unrelated to wound repair, and hence conserve and direct available energy to wound repair, hence leading to increases in synthesis of a hydrolytic enzyme in a grain. Another advantage is to limit the production of molecules associated with respiration, such as sugars and CO2 and the like which would support growth of contaminating microbes such as fungi and the like.
One way of minimising respiration is to control the moisture content of the grains undergoing germination and/or steeping. This can be achieved by controlling the relative humidity of the environment during germination and/or steeping, i.e. by controlling the temperature and moisture content of the environment. Generally it is preferable to provide conditions for minimising respiration which prevent starch granules in the grain from bursting. In one embodiment the relative humidity is about 80% and the temperature is less than about 20� C., preferably about 10 to 15� C.
In certain embodiments, the grain may be treated to eliminate microbes located on the surface of the grain. This may be useful for at least limiting contamination of the grain as the grain is undergoing germination. Particularly useful treatments are those that kill fungi, or fungal spores that would otherwise enable fungi to grow on grain during grain germination. Examples include washing in an anti-microbial, gassing in SO2 or ammonia, treatment with urea, irradiation, especially UV irradiation, exposure to light.
An additional or alternative approach is to prevent root or shoot development from penetrating through the grain husk. In some circumstances, penetration of the husk by these organs provides opportunity for micro-organisms to infect the endosperm.
It will be understood that further enhancements in relative abundance of particular hydrolases in a grain can be obtained by modifying steeping conditions. Examples of modifications that are relevant to particular hydrolases are discussed further herein.
One particular advantage of the process discussed herein is that the grains obtained therefrom can be subjected to further downstream processing, such as for example to purify or otherwise extract enzymes from these grains. For example, the grains obtained from the process discussed herein could be subjected to the process discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,355,110 to purify pullulenase.
The process discussed herein is particularly useful for enhancing the expression of grain hydrolases, especially those located in the aleurone and starch endosperm layers, and embryo. Examples of enzymes include limit dextrinase, α and β amylase, 1-6-β-glucanase, β1,4-xylanase, arabinoxylanase, lipoxygenase and β glucosidase
α and β amylase may be obtained in enhanced amounts by a 2 day steep and 3 days germination.
Limit dextrinase may be obtained in enhanced amounts by a 2 day steep and 7-8 days germination.
Xylanase may be obtained in enhanced amounts by a 2 day steep and 10-12 days germination.
Grains were steeped as described for 2 days and were then incubated for a further 10 to 15 days in conditions including:
UV illumination to retard microbial growth;
controlled temperature between about 7 and 13� C., normally about 10� C.;
controlled relative humidity at 80% with passive recirculating air flow;
periodic tumbling for 30 minute periods to prevent rootlets and shoots from penetrating the grain husk, each tumbling period followed by a 3 hour rest period.

Bill Stone, an orator for the Sons of American Revolution, accompanied by Mack Clark and Richard Wells, presented an interesting historical program to The Millbrook Men's Club recently. The group brought with them the original fourth page of the Articles of Association, which was the document that provided the original formation of the First Continental Congress in 1774. The whereabouts of the first three pages are unknown. The group has traveled around the state to display the document and give a correct historical version of the time period. Thus far, more than 25,000 Alabama school students have seen the presentation.

The Millbrook Men's Club also selected their officers for 2014 recently. The club's officers for 2014 are: Ray Stringer, , Mark E. Waldo Jr. - President, and Larry Johnson - Vice President, Louis Fryer - Secretary.
The Millbrook Men's Club was established in 1941, more than 30 years before the incorporation of the City. Clarence Cowden first conceived the idea of the Millbrook Men's Club after recognizing the need for a group of interested, dedicated and thinking men who can be involved in religion, government and general improvement in the quality of life in the community.
The group meets twice per month on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays at the Millbrook Memorial Center. Any man interested in joining is invited to attend a meeting. The club raises money primarily through a pair of annual barbecue sales. The profits from these functions are used as grants to help local schools, clubs and organizations with projects, to complete projects that will benefit the community at large and to fund scholarships for local students. In the past the club has been instrumental in establishing: mail service, garbage collection, telephone service, and youth athletic programs in Millbrook.

Breda, The Netherlands – Dockwise Ltd. Announced that it had won a reservation contract, securing the transportation of a spar buoy for the Statoil-operated Aasta Hansteen offshore production field, formerly known as the Luva field.
The spar buoy, which has an approximate length of 200 meters, a diameter of 50 meters and a weight of 45,000 tons, will be transported on the new super vessel Dockwise Vanguard from either Korea or Finland, subject to yard choice, to Norway in 2015. The final contract award from Statoil is dependent on formal project sanction for the Aasta Hansteen development.
Further wins for other clients comprise the transport of four drilling rigs to Rotterdam, Saudi Arabia and Singapore (all for H1 2012) and a single load of barges to Brazil in Q2 2012.
"These contract wins, particularly a double rig cargo on the Black Marlin from Singapore to Rotterdam, are further proof of the rise in activity levels in oil and gas exploration seen since the end of 2011," said André Goedée, Chief Executive Officer of Dockwise. "The contract win for Dockwise Vanguard underlines our clients' recognition of the advantages of a vessel of the scale and capacity of Dockwise Vanguard. Spar buoys were an asset class we identified as potential for this vessel and, consequently, I am excited that the Aasta Hansteen spar buoy contract is the first to materialize of those prospects we are discussing with clients for the post 2013 period. We are actively pursuing several short-term business opportunities and, as before, actively tendering for T&I projects in various important regions. As a result, we are confident of further increases in backlog in due course."

Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt delivered a final warning to Canadian First Nations leaders Monday, including 17 in B.C., telling them to comply by Wednesday with government legislation requiring disclosure of their pay and band financial statements. The 2013 law has already led to the election defeat earlier this month of a family that had ruled a tiny B.C. interior band for more than 30 years while paying themselves salaries that were higher on an after-tax basis than Canada's top non-Aboriginal political leaders.
B.C. Senator Larry Campbell is showing he's insensitive to victims of sexual harassment by demanding that two female New Democratic Party MPs go public with their allegations against two Liberal MPs. That charge was levelled Thursday by NDP MP Mylene Freeman, after Campbell's demand earlier this week that the two NDP MPs identify themselves and spell out their claims.
Tradition of opposing trade pacts dropped as emphasis made on ethical agreements.
More than 600 members of the Canadian military will be deployed as part of Prime Minister Stephen Harper's plan for a combat mission to send CF-18 fighter jets to battle Islamic State extremists in Iraq.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who has presided over a record increase in the use of temporary foreign labourers in Canada, has slammed the program because of "blatant" abuses and exploitation. "I'm not saying all companies did this … but we have seen very blatant examples of companies using this in ways that were not in the interest of Canadians," he told members of Vancouver's ethnic media.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he is considering increasing Canada's direct military involvement in the fight against Islamic State in Iraq.
An MP made a tearful apology Friday in the House of Commons after his evasive answers in question period drew wide-ranging criticism.
A delegation of B.C. First Nation chiefs will be here next week to urge the Harper government to reject BC Hydro's $8-billion Site C hydroelectric megaproject. The group will include Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs leader Stewart Phillip, who last week at a First Nations leaders' summit with Premier Christy Clark declared: "B.C. is Indian land."
A Liberal government would scrap the new federal legislation that led to the recent revelation that the chief of a small Lower Mainland had band received income last year totalling close to $1 million, according to leader Justin Trudeau. He made the pledge in a Vancouver Sun interview even though he later told a media scrum that he's glad the public learned about Kwikwetlem First Nation Chief Ron Giesbrecht's lavish remuneration.
New Democratic Party leader Tom Mulcair, in the fight of his political life against Justin Trudeau, said his position on oilsands pipeline megaprojects is superior to the shoulder-shrugging approach of his Liberal rival.
A public statement this week by B.C. Premier Christy Clark in support of Israel's right to defend itself from terror attacks has become needlessly controversial. While it is unusual for provincial premiers to comment on matters in the realm of foreign affairs, it is not unheard of, nor is it inappropriate.
The two major federal opposition leaders are heading west this summer hoping to take advantage of the hostility of many British Columbians for the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. But Opposition leader Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau might want to reconsider making the $7.9 billion megaproject a central campaign plank in the 2015 election campaign, warns Prime Minister Stephen Harper's B.C. lieutenant.
Conservatives are defending their government's approval of the contested Northern Gateway pipeline as based on science and evidence — while noting the project may never be built.
With the Harper government's approval of Enbridge's $7.9-billion Northern Gateway pipeline on Tuesday, the project passed a critical hurdle that could see construction begin as early as the fall of 2015.
OTTAWA — It was easy to assume in mid-2012 that Prime Minister Stephen Harper would pay an onerous price in B.C. for supporting Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway oilsands pipeline. The project seemed to be in trouble after a U.S. regulator compared the company's management to the "Keystone Kops," thanks to Enbridge's inept handling of a major spill on American soil two years earlier.
Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose accused Canada's largest public-sector union Tuesday of wrongly and irresponsibly undermining Canadians' confidence in the safety of their food. She was responding to a union allegation made last week, and repeated Tuesday in Parliament by the NDP, that federal job cuts have left consumers, especially in B.C.'s Lower Mainland, vulnerable to both consumer rip-offs and tainted food.
Like plump chickens about to be plucked, Canada's richest one per cent in B.C., Alberta and Ontario could be easy targets in a government tax grab, a conference on Canada's growing income inequality was told Tuesday. The three provinces have by far the highest share of Canada's ultra-wealthy, and they're overwhelmingly concentrated in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, according to a University of B.C. economist.
OTTAWA — The somewhat fanciful notion of an outsider riding to the rescue of the provincial NDP grew even slimmer Thursday with the withdrawal of the last of a half-dozen federal MPs said to be considering leadership bids. Dropping out was Kennedy Stewart, a rookie MP who scored a rare parliamentary coup last week by getting a pro-direct democracy motion passed in a Tory-controlled House of Commons.
Alberta Premier Alison Redford says she expects approval of the controversial Northern Gateway pipeline with conditions. On Thursday, the National Energy Board's joint review panel will release its decision on Enbridge's $6.5 billion project, which is intended to transport Alberta oilsands crude to the British Columbia coast for shipment to Asia.
One of the highest-profile B.C. politicians considering a bid for the provincial NDP leadership announced Friday he won't enter the race to replace Adrian Dix. Nathan Cullen, who surprised political observers by placing a strong third in the 2011-12 federal leadership race, said he wants to stick to federal politics in order to help leader Tom Mulcair win more B.C. seats and boot Prime Minister Stephen Harper from office in the expected 2015 election.

Ann Coulter Turns Down Film Role
It seems even Ann Coulter doesn't want to play Ann Coulter. Page Six of the New York Post has the details:
The leggy conservative has turned down an offer from director Doug Liman to appear in "Fair Game," his left-leaning film about the Valerie Plame affair starring Naomi Watts as the CIA agent whose cover was blown by columnist Robert Novak. Sean Penn, who plays Plame's underemployed husband Joseph Wilson, was pushing to have Coulter in a scene where she'd be screaming invectives at him. But Coulter said no.
