Bark and bite: MONA's Theatre of the World
Jul 03, 2012
Walls of Pacific Island bark cloths, a prayer mat woven with an image of a Kalashnikov rifle, bible bombs, art from the trenches, Picasso's Weeping Woman, a miniature Mercedes-Benz coffin, Damien Hirst's canvas of resin-rocked flies Theatre Of The World, the latest exhibition at Hobart's Museum of Old and New Art, taps into the sense of random collectivism that is the gallery's guts and glory.
MONA's exhibitions are becoming signature sells. Like Monanism, which opened the maverick gallery in 2011, and the solo exhibition of Belgian artist Wim Delvoye later in the year, the latest $4m drawcard was launched with an abundance of food, art, and beautiful people. And like Monanism and the Delvoye showcase, they are provocative, creative and cheeky, lending themselves to either deep contemplation or flip commentary. Egalitarianism triumphs over academia at David Walsh's bat cave by the Derwent.
Or, as Wassily Kandinsky is quoted as saying on MONA's iPod-style audio, O, (offering "art wank" perspectives or Walsh's own "gonzo" pronouncements on the art): "Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to 'walk about' into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?"
There's always a sense of feasting at MONA. At the June 22 opening, local and imported artists, curators, art lovers, media, and politicians thronged around banquet tables of skewered quails, suckling piglet, high marble-score meats and falafels as big as frisbees. The entry point to Theatre Of The World, collated as "Epiphany", is like a degustation menu of rich, tasty morsels: Sidney Nolan's Dog And Duck Hotel, a stuffed owl, an electric fan, a Qing Dynasty coin hoard, Egyptian amulets, clocks, the odd primate skeleton.
Where Monanism was overt - the giant, panelled Nolan Snake; the mechanical human waste machine, Cloaca; the stuck Mack truck; the installation of butchered meat Theatre Of The World is about threads that pull together culture, crafts and communities.
"Scope" focuses on eyes: from Picasso's Weeping Woman to tunics, slippers and dance bags embellished with eyes made from tiny glass beads by Nigeria's Yoruba people, to the photograph by Juul Kraijer of Untitled woman sucking on an eyeball.
Then there are ideas around artistic beginnings ("Genesis" – Brett Whiteley's The Naked Studio lives here); the body ("Corpus"); death and the afterlife ("Beyond") and predators and the relationship between man and beast ("Domesticate").
The "Contention" grouping is an observation of war and weapons: the war rug genre of Afghanistan that is a legacy of Russian invasion; Wim Delvoye's image of Osama Bin Laden tattooed on pig skin; the Gregory Green depiction of bombs hidden in bibles (Torah, Koran and a Russian Orthodox bible); and a trench sculpture fashioned from a cannon shell and bullets.
French museum director Jean-Hubert Martin has curated the exhibition. It was his cross-cultural sensibilities at the 2007 Venice Biennale exhibition Artempo that led David Walsh to invite him to curate an exhibition at MONA. Many of MONA's "house" collection pieces have been recontextualised for Theatre Of The World; other pieces have been borrowed from galleries at home and abroad and, as it turned out, some of Martin's greatest inspiration came from the nearby Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), in particular its rare and impressive collection of bark cloth from the Pacific Rim.
In a room referred to as "Majesty", are 70 such tapa from Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, dating back to the 1850s and used in ceremonies and funerals, as gifts, clothing and matting. They recline comfortably on sloping black magnetic walls, magnets holding them in place to respect their fragility. A precursor to their graphic magnificence is the corridor that gently notes how geometry is found in the simplest of cultural art and design: squares and triangles stitched, baked or drawn onto hats, armbands, teapots and paper.
The "theatre" of the title, then, means many things: it's a nod to the theatre of war, of make believe, of artifice and spectacle, and to the world stage. The chambers of Theatre Of The World carry with them a sense of belonging, achieved not just by the curatorial groupings, but by evoking the communities many of the items relied on for their existence. The juxtapositions might also remind a MONA viewer that what might seem primitive now was as cutting-edge then as, say, Wayne Hudson's gothic leather Chaise, of black leather bolsters and vampire teeth feet in svelte wood.
Theatre Of The World is at MONA until April 8, 2013

Walking is the oldest, easiest and safest way to keep fit, writes Sumit Bhattacharjee
Of late, a number of exercise forms have come to the fore, keeping in mind the fitness mantra. Some pump weights to get the six packs, some try stuff like aerobics, tai chi and yoga. and a few go for more innovative types like krav magav and dancing. But, the oldest and the easiest way to keep fit, is walking. Walkers go by the old 'apple' saying, "Walk three miles to keep the doctor away".
Many great men believed that walking is the best form of exercise. Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru and a couple of American presidents like Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Harry S. Truman were great walkers.
Easy exercise
For walking, one does not need to have any hi-tech equipment or join a fancy place for a fee. One can start walking on the terrace, park or on the sidewalk and there is no necessity of a trainer or a company. The only gear that is required is a good pair of sports or jogging shoes. One should take care that the sole, especially the heel area which should be thick enough to give a cushioning effect. "The dropout rate for walking is comparatively low, compared to the other forms, and is open for all ages from 16 to 65 years," says Dr. G. Prabhakar.
There are many good traits associated with walking. When done briskly on a regular basis, it improves the oxygen intake, lowers the blood pressure, increases the efficiency of the heart and the lungs and burns excess calories.
Walking is said to be injury free and has an effect on the psyche of the walker. People feel lighter, they sleep better and many tend to quit habitual addictions like smoking or drinking.
Rules of walking
The pace and distance play a vital role to make a walk look like a workout. The walk should be steady and brisk enough to make your heart beat faster. When it comes to workout, a walk does not mean a stroll or a saunter.
Here are some tips
Hold your head erect and keep your back straight. Land on your heel and take long and easy strides. Breathe deeply and swing yours arms in a rhythm. When walking up or down hills, or at a very rapid pace, lean forward slightly. At the end of the session, walk a few paces backwards to relax and stretch the leg muscles.
Walking generates a lot of body heat, so it is essential to have some protective clothing to retain the heat for some time. Immediately after a walk, get into a tracksuit to retain the heat.
One has to gradually increase the time and distance. Pace is not the key factor in walking. He or she can start with 20 minutes of brisk walking and slowly increase it to 45 minutes, to cover a distance of about four kilometres.
It is essential to warm-up with a few simple stretch exercises, a couple of stomach crunches, and sit-ups. Walking only at times might create a few problems for the back and the leg muscles. It is important to tone the other parts of the body at the same time. A warm-up will help a great deal in that aspect.
Listen to your body
If you develop some unusual symptoms like dizziness, pain or nausea, slow down or stop. If the problem persists, check with your doctor before walking again. Do not try to compete with other walkers. The objective is to keep fit and not try to win over the other walkers.

Pierced Feet For You!
The other day a brother in Christ on Facebook posted a link to a sermon on Nahum. The preacher, Steve Brown stated this prophecy is almost totally ignored in the preaching we hear in our time. This is tragic. It is chuck full of wonderful good news of peace!
Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him
who brings good news,
who publishes peace!
Keep your feasts, O Judah;
fulfill your vows,
for never again shall the worthless pass through you;
he is utterly cut off.
(Nahum 1:15 ESV)
This comes at the end of the first chapter. Prior to this we read some of the most terrifying of preaching. This was directed at Nineveh, the city who repented, later turned once again into Our Lord's enemy. And it is to us who are fickle. One is tempted during tough times to turn against Our Father thinking we have to help ourselves.
We see today that our Adversary still has people who will attack Christ's faithful. When we can we should try to resist it by electing those who believe in religious liberty. However, if it comes down to that being taken away from us Our Lord is still active in cutting off the worthless.
However, the good news is also for those in this city who had not turned against Our Lord and those who repent at this warning. We need not fear when Christ's halting the evil ones in their tracks.
Depart from me, all you workers of evil,
for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
The LORD has heard my plea;
the LORD accepts my prayer.
All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;
they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.
(Psalm 6:8-10 ESV)
And here we see Jesus. His feet were pierced on Mount Calvary. This publishes peace to those who turn from evil self security and trust in him. Turn to Jesus. Trust his good news of peace and live in its peace. Amen. †

The Books are More Than Balanced For You!!!!
Before the advent of checkbook balancing software and websites provided by banks I used to dedicate one Saturday afternoon to reconciling my checkbook. This was the practice of lining up what I said we had in the account and what the bank said we had in the account. This was a frustrating and painful, head and neck ache pain from bending over the figures, experience that I joyfully no longer have endure.
We have an account with God. This account is always in deficit if we were to look at his requirements for our life and our fulfilling them. We are so far overdrawn we have no way to balance or reconcile the books. So what is to be done?
that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
(2 Corinthians 5:19 ESV)
Our Lord and Savior Jesus came and more than reconciled the books for our past and present sin. The books are reconciled for any and all future sins of which we will commit. This is for each and every person who has lived, is living now and will ever live. That is what the phrase "not counting their sins against them" means.
How did Christ accomplish this? Out of his deep and abiding love for his created humans Our Father sent Our Lord Jesus to share in our human nature. In obedience to his Father he fulfilled the law for us in order to reconcile us to God as far as the law's requirements. Then to pay for our guilt for past, present and future trespasses bore all our sin to the cross, suffered and died to set us free from the guilt. We are now justified by trusting in the innocent sufferings and death of Our Lord apart from our efforts.
Many object to this and say it will encourage people to sin. In the first place people are sinners and need no encouragement to sin. In the second place if someone is kind to you in spite of your poor treatment of them will you repay this with a desire to keep being nasty to him? Of course not! Out of love and thanksgiving we desire to act like Jesus acted toward his neighbor and his Father in Heaven. Not to repay him rather out of a grateful heart.
We will blow it and always fall short. But that matters not. For as a kind father, even though he is a sinner, will love and forgive his son or daughter how much more will a Gracious, Sovereign and Loving Heavenly Father love and forgive us.
This is fantastic!
Trust this good news and live in its peace. Amen†

A Proper Defense For You!
I have not been called to be an Apologist. It is almost certain you are not one either. In the United States, presently, we are not hauled before the authorities to present a defense of our faith. Nor should we assume that every unbeliever out there are seeking to destroy or discredit us as depicted in the above representation of Paul before King Agrippa. Over the past 30 years or so Apologetic efforts has gained more and more popularity in some circles as the primary evangelism. Certain Bible teachers are gifted with this even in our relatively persecution free country. Certainly we have a place for this type of proclamation but should never replace the simple proclamation given the Church from Our Lord.
St Peter shows in what instances this should be used;
Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.
(1 Peter 3:13-16 ESV)
We see that it is when we are under attack and persecution and asked upon what we place our faith. It is a misuse to think one has to give complicated reasoning to an unbeliever when the simple and clear message of Christ is what is needed. Repentance and the forgiveness of sin is what Jesus taught was to be proclaimed throughout the world.
In contrast here is what Christ has told the Apostles those in public ministry and laypersons when they have opportunity is to be proclaimed:
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
(Luke 24:45-47 ESV)
Notice how simple is what saves us. A child can understand it. Most of the time we do not have to start people at square one and give them an extended discourse about the Christian faith. Prior to having the gift of faith, given by the Holy Spirit, he or she will never get it right. We are justified by faith not our perfect understanding of doctrine. Later on comes the teaching.
When you are privileged to speak with a person who is terrified of his or her standing with God we do not have to defend our faith rather proclaim it. The troubled heart does not need the law for it is doing its job already. Tell them to turn from faith in their own efforts to defeat sin and trust in Christ's death, burial and resurrection. Praying always for God to grant them, and us, with this repentance and faith in Christ.
Trust this good news and live in its peace. Amen. †

The Promises of Baptism For You! Part 2
As time goes on and the end of life approaches many troubling things may happen. One of these things is the possibility of becoming so feeble minded that I forget Christ. Through accident, stroke or dementia it may be that I will not recall him someday. What then is my hope should this occur?
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
(Romans 6:3 ESV)
This is one of the most strong and precious promises Our Lord, through the Apostle Paul, gives us. In Baptism I have already died to sin and are no longer under condemnation for it. Through this gracious gift Our Father has placed his name upon me and all his Baptized children.
This is certainty beyond compare. Rather than false security when a person recalls that through Baptism they are received into the family of Christ it is a strong testimony of firm trust in the promises of Christ. Jesus has linked his death to us in Baptism. We can therefore walk in newness of life forsaking our selfish ways by drowning our inner brat, recalling this strong Sacramental work of Christ for us.
If accident, old age or illness robs a person of his or her recollection of this promise Our Lord certainly does not. He has taken our salvation so seriously he bore our sin to the cross thereby removing condemnation from us. We can hardly expect he would withdraw from us when we are feeble and weak and can not remember him.
Trust this good news and live in its peace. Amen. †

The Promises in Baptism For You!
I awoke from a very interesting dream this morning. Not a bad dream at all. Rather it was regarding the generations that will come after me. It has been a long practice of mine, dating back to High School, to pray for my children, grandchildren etc. This was started by my Christian grandparents explaining to me they prayed for me, my siblings and cousins long before we were born.
No why on earth would one do that?
And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself."
(Acts 2:38-39 ESV)
One sees in this section that Baptism is not all about the person Baptized. The strong and precious promises of Our Lord is contained therein. This is glorious for the responsibility for the salvation of us, our spouse, children, grandchildren, etc. belongs to Our Lord. This is good news because we are unable to save them. Who else has this ability? Us? Surely not.
Some will object to this due to the fact that some of their children may reject the Gospel. My answer to this is we do not doubt a promise from God due to the unbelief of others. How is it that we will see a child forsake the church and wander off will never be granted true repentance and the forgiveness of sin in the name of Jesus? Certainly we train our children in the faith in order to keep this from happening but sometimes our hearts will break along with our child's break with the church.
As demonstrated by the innocent sufferings and death of Our Lord on the cross we know he takes the salvation of the sinner quite seriously. It is of great difficulty for a person, upon whom Our Lord has placed his name, to apostatize eternally. It has happened recorded in the letters of the Apostles but it is of heroic effort to accomplish this leaving.
Rather than spend hours and days examining others and whether we can see if they are in Christ we cling to the promises we have in Jesus and live in the peace they give us. Amen. †

God's Love Shown For You!
"What did Jesus do this for?" I have had this question asked of me many times. Depending upon whom a person asks one will get varied answers.
From the Calvinist's leaning person one may hear Jesus did it solely for the Glory of God. While certainly God was glorified in the Crucifixion of Jesus, as spoken in Jesus' prayer recorded in John 17, Our Lord is far from being stingy in what he does. We see in his life he was constantly about his neighbor.
From a person of a Methodist background one may hear it is to make salvation possible. That we must respond to this gracious invitation before it is ours. While we do receive this gift of eternal life through faith this faith is not of our doing. It is not something we work up in ourselves. Rather it is a gift of God and not of any decision or desire on our part. Ephesians 2:8-10
From a person of Roman Catholic training one may hear that he died to get us a jump start toward salvation. That we must complete this salvation through our efforts at works of charity. While works of charity, love, are definitely necessary in the life of a believer they do not add anything to our salvation. Rather they are done as obedient children for a Loving Heavenly Father. Ephesians 2:10
What does Our Lord say, through St. Paul, was the reason for his Crucifixion?
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:6-8 ESV)
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,
what wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
Let us trust this good news and live in its peace. Amen †

A Proper and Honorable Life With Good Deeds For You!
It is commendable and expected that one be passionate about one's belief. This is especially true when resisting evil doers in government, business, health care etc. However, we have a kind of passion which is not righteous at all. Peter speaks of this passion:
Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
(1 Peter 2:11-12 ESV)
These sinful passions of the flesh seek only to ridicule in an unkind manner those who are promoting wrongdoing in order to do something right. This takes the form of gleefully promoting political cartoon and other forms of speech which only destroys the person at whom it is directed. Nothing good can come of these expressions, The only thing they do is cause those who are backing the persons at whom they are directed to dig in the heels and not listen to reason. This is what those held captive to the flesh will do anyway to get his or her point across.
For a believer in Jesus to engage in these activities commits violence against our souls. Both those who are making these things and promoting them and those who see them knowing it is a fellow believer doing it.
"I consider myself fortunate that it is before you, King Agrippa, I am going to make my defense today against all the accusations of the Jews, especially because you are familiar with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.
(Acts 26:2-3 ESV)
Here we see the grand example of St Paul before sinful and unbelieving King Agrippa. He is not railing against him. Rather he defends himself in an honorable fashion giving him the respect due his vocation as king. Later on when Festus accuses Paul of being out of his mind Paul calls him excellent Festus.
If we were honest with ourselves we must admit we have found perverse joy seeing a political cartoon, listening to a talking head's sarcastic personal attacks and have used this destructive speaking ourselves. This is breaking God's command to honor father and mother referring to those Our Lord has called into office. This fleshly response deserves God's temporal and eternal punishment.
But we have good news. Christ came and perfectly obeyed the commandments perfectly and his holiness is given to us as a gift. For the sake of the innocent suffering and death of Our Lord we have this trespass removed from us. Jesus' resurrection is also for our justification.
Trust this good news and live in its peace. Amen. †

The comments must be considered as the final environmental documents are being prepared, the last step in an approval process that might, perhaps by summer, result in permits from state and federal officials to begin construction.
The stakes are nothing less than the state's future water supply and the health of its largest estuary, where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers converge to form a network of water bodies alive with wildlife – one that can, from some angles, look and feel like the remnants of a primordial world.
The other key feature of the state plan, in fact, is to restore more than 100,000 acres of natural habitat, with a goal of completing 30,000 acres in the first 15 years.
"This is large-scale habitat restoration," Bonham said. "Maybe it's a restoration that would potentially be observable from space."
State wildlife officials hope to provide enough habitat to sustain 57 plant and animal species, including 11 species of fish, that have been targeted by the restoration project.
The tunnels themselves, the plan's backers say, should help stabilize water flow through the Delta, reducing the mortality of Delta smelt, salmon and a variety of other species that now must hazard a trip through capture devices, pipes and holding tanks before being loaded onto trucks for the trip back north.
A good number of fish are captured in this system, called the Skinner Delta Fish Protective Facility, before they can be pulled into the pumps at the south end of the Delta, though even some of these don't make it.
Those pumps then push the water uphill and into the California Aqueduct – the suction end of the straw that eventually conveys Delta water to Southern California.
The tunnels also should help reduce the intrusion of salt water in the south Delta, backers say.
The new system would manage all this by relying far more on the three new intake pumping structures to the north that will include more sophisticated fish screens, and will allow far less reliance on the southern intakes.
More than a century of farming and water use have led to another odd phenomenon in the Delta: agricultural "islands" that are well below sea level.
On a recent bus tour of the Delta with reporters, the restoration plan's promoters gave a dramatic illustration of the Delta's problems with subsiding farmland – large plots that are sinking because of loss of peat soils, which oxidize as they are exposed to air.
The bus came to a stop on a road that runs along the top of a levee, passing between a canal that parallels the road and an expanse of farmland.

The U.S. economy grew only 1.8% in 2013, but these 10 states outpaced the nation.
Like Wyoming, West Virginia's economy has been on a coal-mining roller coaster.
After contracting in 2012, the state economy grew 5% in 2013, driven almost entirely by gains in its mining sector.
Overall, West Virginia still grapples with large problems, though. The whole state added only 900 jobs in 2013.

Introduction | Task | Process 1 | Process 2 | Evaluation | Conclusion | Credits | Teacher Page
Are you concerned that your students don't have an understanding of the significant roles in literacy education that have been played by many notable educators such as William S. Gray and William McGuffey? Are you surprised that your students believe an historical review of research begins in 1990? Does it concern you that your students do not have a thorough understanding of the relationship among comprehension, vocabulary development, language, and phonics? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you'll understand why I felt a need to develop this webquest for my students.
This webquest was developed to enable students to gain an understanding of the seminal research in literacy education and appreciation for the literacy educators who participate in this field.
The design of the webquest fits into a 15 week literacy course whose goals are to enable students to become intelligent consumers and practitioners of literacy research and the researchers before them.
As the students complete 5 assignments, they will be integrating their technology skills as they use Powerpoint, Inspiration, iMovie, Word documents, and the internet.
How to teach students who are engaged in completing this webquest is thoroughly explained within the Process Section, but to summarize, students will work independently, both individually and in groups to complete five tasks about notable educators:
Although this webquest was designed for use at a major university in California, this webquest can be adapted for use at other universities throughout the world. The following adaptions could be made:
In addition to the hot links that have been included in this webquest, some of the texts that would support student learning are:

Made From Girders
Made from Girders puts Laarg just to the left of a large gap and under a huge metal bar. To start, push the bottom 3 wooden planks into the background 3 times each, dropping the first horizontal plank onto the pressure plate. Next up, you'll want to push the next set of 3 planks back 2 times each, getting ready to drop the next horizontal plank. Before you do though, backtap the two sliding blocks on either side of the planks, these will catch the huge metal bar that stretches across the level. Finish pushing the wooden planks back, dropping the horizontal plank and the metal bar, but before you start moving Laarg, backtap those same wooden planks again so they'll hold up the metal bar while Laarg crosses the bridge to the exit.
Death Comes For Ye
Push back the supporting wooden blocks without extending the supports on the sides and you'll drop the metal beam on Laarg.
Warning Sign
Look down and pull your camera to the side to spot the Blockhead Warning Sign behind the giant pressure plate.

The singer told how he has never got used to being famous and had to take a step back from the limelight.
The star, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, is set to make a comeback when his third album Caustic Love is released in April.
He described how he retreated home to Scotland after being left stressed and burnt out by constant touring and the demands of stardom.
He said: "It all got a little bit intense and heavy. Then I took a step back and had a listen to myself and some of the things I was moaning about - certain pressures that became an issue.
"It only takes going home for a little while to put these things into perspective."

Abbrev Name: an acyl-carrier protein
Synonyms: an apo-[acp]
|a polypeptide → all acyl-carrier proteins
|a protein → all acyl-carrier proteins
This class includes all the acyl-carrier proteins, which consist of the acyl-carrier proteins (ACPs) of fatty acid synthases, ACPs of polyketide synthases (PKSs), and peptidyl carrier proteins (PCPs) and aryl carrier proteins of non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs).
Acyl carrier proteins exist as either a distinct domain within a large multifunctional protein, or as discrete soluble single-domain proteins.
ACP proteins are synthesized in their "apo" inactive form, and are activated by attachment of a 4'-phosphopantetheine moiety, removed from coenzyme A, to a serine residue, in a reaction catalyzed by 4'-phosphopantetheinyl transferase [Byers07].
Child Classes: an apo aryl-carrier protein (2) , an apo [CmaA peptidyl-carrier-protein] (0) , an apo [CmaD peptidyl-carrier-protein] (0) , an apo [PigJ acyl-carrier protein] (0) , an apo- fatty acid synthase [acyl carrier protein] (1)
apo-[acyl carrier protein] (Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655)
Alternative forms of an apo-[acyl-carrier protein]:
a holo-[acyl-carrier protein] (extended summary available)
a 2,3,4-saturated fatty acyl-[acp]
an acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] (summary available)
a (3R)-3-hydroxybutanoyl-[acp]
a (3R)-3-hydroxydecanoyl-[acp]
a (3R)-3-hydroxydodecanoyl-[acp]
a (3R)-3-hydroxyhexanoyl-[acp]
a (3R)-3-hydroxymyristoyl-[acp]
a (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acp]
an acetoacetyl-[acp]
a (3R)-3-hydroxypalmitoyl-[acp]
an arachidoyl-[acp]
an octanoyl-[acp]
an oleoyl-[acp] (summary available)
a cis-enoyl-acyl-[acp]
a malonyl-[acp]
an acetyl-[acp]
SMILES: C(O)C(N[an apo-[acyl-carrier protein]])C(=O)[an apo-[acyl-carrier protein]]
Reactions known to consume the compound:
acyl carrier protein metabolism I
acyl carrier protein metabolism II (mammalian)
an acyl-carrier protein + coenzyme A → adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + a holo-[acyl-carrier protein] + H+
Reactions known to produce the compound:
acyl carrier protein metabolism I
a holo-[acyl-carrier protein] + H2O → 4'-phosphopantetheine + an acyl-carrier protein + H+
Enzymes inhibited by an apo-[acyl-carrier protein], sorted by the type of inhibition, are:
Inhibitor (Mechanism unknown) of: acyl-CoA:1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate 2-O-acyltransferase [Rock81, Comment 1]
Inhibitor (Other types) of: acetyl-CoA carboxylase [Davis01a]
Instance reactions of [an acyl-carrier protein + coenzyme A → adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + a holo-[acyl-carrier protein] + H+] (18.104.22.168):
i1: [EntB aryl-carrier protein] + coenzyme A → a holo EntB isochorismatase/aryl-carrier protein + adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + H+ (18.104.22.168)
i2: AsbD acyl-carrier protein + coenzyme A → adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + a holo-AsbD acyl-carrier protein + H+ (no EC#)

Report Calls for Accountability and Services to Deal With Sexual Assaults in Military
By LYNETTE CLEMETSON
Published: May 14, 2004
WASHINGTON, May 13— The Defense Department called on Thursday for more accountability, more education and more services to deal with sexual assault cases within the ranks of the United States armed forces.
Acknowledging serious deficiencies in the way the military has handled such cases, the department laid out proposals for change in a report that was ordered in February by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to investigate more than 100 accusations of sexual assault and misconduct over 18 months within the United States Central Command area, which includes Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait.
''Sexual assaults are a challenge to our nation, and the military is not immune to this challenge,'' said Ellen P. Embrey, deputy assistant secretary of defense for health protection and readiness and director of the eight-member panel convened to produce the report.
The panel, which had four military and four civilian members, found that existing policies failed to define sexual assault adequately and lacked systems for accountability, that victims often had difficulty gaining access to services and support and that commanders were often insensitive to victims' needs and uninformed about how to handle claims.
The report includes nine broad recommendations, some to be acted upon immediately, others over the next several months. Among the recommendations for immediate action are the establishment of a sexual assault advisory council within the Defense Department, increased awareness training for service members and leaders and the development of a health care team to set and put in place servicewide medical standards for conducting and processing sexual assault examinations.
The report also calls for a summit of military and civilian experts within the next three months to discuss difficult issues on which no conclusions were reached, like a uniform definition of sexual assault for all branches of the service to be included in the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
At a briefing on the report on Thursday, Dr. David S.C. Chu, undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, emphasized that many of the basic tools to address the problem were already in place. ''The system is a strong system,'' Dr. Chu said, adding that the recommended changes would make it ''more attentive, more focused and more effective.''
Representative John M. McHugh, Republican of New York and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said Congress must provide the money that the military will need to make the changes. ''Several members of Congress have visited the current theater of operations,'' Mr. McHugh said. ''If any member came back without hearing an anecdotal reference to these types of sexual assault situations, I would say they are in a minority. This is clearly a problem and the numbers are such that it would be a moral and legislative failure to do anything but make sure we respond in the necessary ways.''
Some members of Congress and victims advocacy groups criticized the report because it did not specifically address contentious issues like the uniform definition of sexual assault, the role of victim advocates and the need for a policy of confidentiality for people reporting assaults, a provision many said would make victims feel more comfortable in reporting incidents.
''They've done numerous studies over the years and they have all come out the same way,'' said Representative Louise M. Slaughter, Democrat of New York and co-chairwoman of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues, which has had several hearings on the issue. ''They report that they don't have this and that in place, but they never create things. Not only have they not come to terms with simple definitions, they have not come to terms with what to do, period. This calls out for legislation and that is what we have to do.''
The report took note of how difficult it would be to make some of the changes within the military culture. It said, for instance, that, ''reconciling the inherent tension between a victim's need for confidentiality and a commander's need to know is very challenging and requires substantial additional work to resolve.''
It also said it would not be easy to provide personnel trained to deal with and evaluate sexual assault claims in a military with operations spread around the world.
Ms. Embrey noted specifically the lack of availability of rape medical examination kits in the current Central Command area. The report called for strategies to ''develop, resource and sustain a trained, expert, full-spectrum, deployable sexual assault response,'' within the Department of Defense.
The release of the report comes amid an uproar over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers, and some political leaders and sexual abuse experts say that the issues are related.
''These are interconnected intersecting types of violence being perpetrated,'' said Christine Hansen, executive director of The Miles Foundation, an advocacy organization helping 153 military women who claim to have been assaulted by fellow soldiers in the Central Command area in and around Iraq. ''There are serious interconnections about how these two issues are related to violence, control, and subjugation.''
To reach its conclusions the task force conducted focus groups with military officers and enlisted personnel, with those who provide medical, legal and psychological services to sexual assault victims and with victims of rape and assault. The group also set up a telephone hot line on which victims and their family members could offer ideas.
Ms. Embrey and Mr. Chu said combatant commanders will meet within weeks to discuss how to apply the recommendations of report.

I first noticed that the tab of the door switch snapped off so the safety on/off switch did not work when the door was closed. I temporarily taped the switch closed so I could use the dryer. I found the model number from the unit and easily found the schematic and part description from the website. I placed the order and had the part in a few days. Problem solved. Thank you

LRO Produces Sharp Images Of Apollo Landing Sites
NASA said on Tuesday that its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has captured the sharpest images ever taken from space of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites.
The space agency said the images show the twists and turns of the paths made when the astronauts explored the lunar surface.
The tracks laid down by the lunar rover during the Apollo 17 site are clearly visible in the images.
The images also show where the astronauts placed some of the scientific instruments that provided the first insight into the moon's environment and interior.
"We can retrace the astronauts' steps with greater clarity to see where they took lunar samples," Noah Petro, a lunar geologist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., who is a member of the LRO project science team, said in a press release.
NASA said the three images show distinct trails left in the moon's thin soil when the astronauts exited the lunar modules and explored on foot.
"The new low-altitude Narrow Angle Camera images sharpen our view of the moon's surface," Arizona State University researcher Mark Robinson, principal investigator for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), said in a press release.
"A great example is the sharpness of the rover tracks at the Apollo 17 site. In previous images the rover tracks were visible, but now they are sharp parallel lines on the surface."
Trails at each site also run to the west of the landers, where the astronauts placed the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) to monitor the moon's environment and interior.
NASA said the details of an image taken from the site of the Apollo 12 mission shows the locations of cables running from ALSEP's central station to two of its instruments.
"These images remind us of our fantastic Apollo history and beckon us to continue to move forward in exploration of our solar system," Jim Green, director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said in a press release.

Johansen took over as Senco's CEO in 2010. A California native, he's been in the building products industry for more than 30 years with Actuant Corp., Newell Rubbermaid Inc. and Black & Decker Corp. Asked about his own plans, Johansen said he "absolutely loves this business" and is eager to work on exploiting Senco's global brand, which he feels has been undercommercialized.
Pre-bankruptcy, Senco had become too reliant on housing starts and dependent on two customers, Johansen said. "Things had gotten a little out of balance," he said, adding that when the economy tanked, Senco "wasn't as prepared as it could have been."
CEO spent first year steadying the business
An article by two Wynnchurch managing directors published in January by the Turnaround Management Association was more blunt in a critique of management.
"It had five CEOs in the prior decade who had been told to sell off valuable operating units to generate maximum cash dividends to multigenerational family owners. Further, the company's pension plans were significantly underfunded," Duncan Bourne and Stephen Welborn wrote.
Other problems they cited included a generous severance policy, efficiency improvements that were "too little, too late," and a 2008 steel contract that cost the company $3 million in much-needed cash as the economy stalled.
Johansen said Senco spent its first year post-bankruptcy stabilizing its business and repairing relationships and then began "a pretty aggressive path of capital expenditures." That included $2 million invested in its Cincinnati plant over the past 15 months, he said. Employment in Cincinnati has remained relatively flat, at about 200.

Gas may be getting expensive, but talk is still cheap. So politicians are responding to the latest spike in petroleum prices as they always do: with a barrage of partisan accusations that has much more to do with exploiting the issue than addressing it.
Republicans say prices are high because President Obama nixed the Keystone XL pipeline and didn't open enough federal land and coastline to oil drilling. "There are no short-term silver bullets when it comes to gas prices," Obama responded in a speech last week. "And anyone who says otherwise is just not telling the truth."
Obama's absolutely right about that. But I'd have more sympathy if he and his party had not played the same demagogic game against the Republicans in 2007 and 2008, or if he weren't recycling the usual Democratic attacks on oil-industry tax breaks.
Those industry loopholes are hard to defend on tax-efficiency grounds; but since they subsidize supply, their effect, if any, on gas prices is to reduce them. The president went on to tout a $14 million federal grant to help make fuel from algae. That particular miracle's been just around the corner for decades now.
Please, everyone, just ignore this blather. Here's what is actually going on: World crude oil prices determine the vast majority of the per-gallon price of gasoline – 76 percent of it, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Those prices have been trending upward for more than a decade, largely because of surging demand in China and other emerging markets. Gas prices have followed suit.
Crude, and gasoline, prices crashed when the world economy crashed – at about the time Obama took office in January 2009. But they resumed their upward march shortly thereafter.
Republicans cry: "Aha! It is his fault!" In fact, higher crude prices reflect the recovery in global demand, which is good news: a result of economic recovery more generally.
In fact, without those higher crude prices, there would have been less incentive for U.S. entrepreneurs to invest in fracking technology and produce the extraordinary new sources of shale oil in North Dakota and elsewhere that are creating jobs and wealth, and gradually liberating the United States from foreign sources of supply.
Federal Reserve policy probably has something to do with higher oil prices, too. Since the Fed's zero percent interest rate cheapens the dollar, it takes more dollars to buy the same amount of oil and other commodities.
Gas prices are subject to seasonal and other variations. They "rise in the first half of the year," i.e., about now, "plateau during the peak summer driving season and retrace most of the earlier gains in the back half of the year," Deutsche Bank's US Economics Weekly explained Feb. 24. This is because of refinery maintenance schedules, the annual shift of production to warm-weather fuel "blends" and other technical factors.
Despite all the howling, this February "is only moderately ahead of the usual seasonal trend," Deutsche Bank reports. That modest increase is probably due to market nervousness about Iran and the long-planned shutdown of three refineries along the U.S. East Coast, says Tom Kloza, an expert on gas prices at the Oil Price Information Service.

This one is probably just for me. The first thing I've written in a long while. Slightly clunky interface, excellent as an adventure game. Like a good story? Ignore the former and enjoy the latter.
Very much enjoyed playing and writing about Gemini Rue. Wish I had more motivation to do that more frequently... lots of things I'd like go back to and lots of things I'd like to try, not sure how to go about either at the moment though. I think I need a kick to go and do something. Though I've been reading a lot recently. I'm almost at the end of 1Q84 Book 2. It's getting weird, but no less enjoyable.
Anyway, greetings and best wishes to any old friends who might stumble upon this. Hope alls well with all, I really must check the blog roll now and then; I say that every time I make my sporadic appearance here, maybe it'll stick this time.

In this classic 80's style arcade game, red dots bounce around the screen. With them is a yellow dot. Your goal: Capture all the red dots in blocks by touching the screen. Since the dots bounce off the blocks once you make them, you can build traps and cut off areas of the screen. Use fewer blocks to get a higher score, and be careful not to capture the important yellow dot!

Teddy's NFC Tidbits
Welcome to Teddy's weekly look at the NFL. Teddy spends every Sunday typing furiously at his laptop as he watches the games, giving you the key info that the box scores and game recaps simply don't have. This week: NFC tidbits from around the league.
This passing game is much better now than it was a month ago. Chicago has some weapons at receiver, with four different players catching passes of 30 yards or longer; and that production came on a day when Brandon Lloyd wasn't healthy enough to suit up. Tight end Greg Olson, Devin Hester, Rashied Davis and Marty Booker give this team more than enough weapons to work with on offense. Kyle Orton had no trouble getting the ball downfield to his receivers, and the running game has been solid, if unspectacular, all season. This team has more potential than I gave them credit for …as long as the mounting injuries on defense don't start to destroy their chemistry, as it did last year.
Brian Griese was sacked three times in the first half, each time he held the ball too long in the pocket. Maybe he avoided the interception problems that have plagued his last two starts, but Griese is not the type of quarterback capable of leading his team to the promised land. And with no big play threats in the passing game, it was unclear to me why Griese had to hold the ball as long as he did – almost all of his passes were dinks and dunks. Thirteen of his first 16 pass attempts travelled less than five yards from the line of scrimmage. The passing game worked much better once Jeff Garcia replaced Griese coming off the bench. Tampa had three defensive touchdowns in their first four games. Monte Kiffin has made it a priority to get quick points with big plays on the defensive side of the football. That means less Cover-2, which the Bucs are running only about 30 percent of the time this year. It also means more big plays against this defense, as they take more gambles in an effort to create the big momentum changing defensive plays.
This defensive line is getting pressure; the secondary is covering downfield – I'm very impressed with this defensive effort. I also like this punter, Michael Koenin, dropping punts inside the 20 yard line and helping the Falcons win the field position war. And Atlanta's offensive line is giving Matt Ryan all day to throw the football, another unit that is most assuredly playing at a high level these days. There was no home/road dichotomy here, their first strong performance on the road in 2008. These Falcons are arguably the NFC's most improved team compared to last year's 4-12 debacle.
This secondary clearly has some issues against big play passing attacks. Last week, we saw the Saints throw deep repeatedly and with great success against this defense. It was a similar story here, with Randy Moss burning the Niners deep for a 66 yard touchdown. After the Moss TD, this defense was noticeably gun-shy, no longer pressing at the line of scrimmage and allowing a steady diet of quick dink and dunk completions against them. When you can't stop the run (something the Niners have clearly proven through the first month of the season) and you can't stop the pass, opponents can control the clock for forty minutes of possession, as the Patriots did today.
Is Eli Manning an elite level quarterback? This should be a no-brainer; a former No. 1 overall draft pick with a Super Bowl ring from last season on his finger. He certainly looked like one here, for extended portions of the game; hitting open receivers downfield, gaining more than 200 passing yards in the first half alone. But Manning's propensity for mistakes hasn't disappeared entirely – he's still fumble prone, and still makes bad decisions throwing late over the middle. And Manning's results are certainly propped up by the strength of the Giants underrated running game – this team is simply outstanding at pounding the rock between the tackles. It might have taken a Super Bowl win and a 4-0 start before this team started getting the respect they deserve, but after this performance, they'll get that respect.
This team is the definition of pathetic. Matt Millen might have been one cause of the Lions woes, but sending the GM packing after three horrific games to open the season doesn't solve their problems in the slightest. Dropping sure interceptions in the end zone; unable to cover even mediocre receivers downfield – this really is the worst secondary in the NFL. The defensive line is just as bad, completely blown off the line of scrimmage on nearly every running play while generating no pass rush whatsoever. The linebacking corps is slow, devoid of playmakers. On a day where the Lions had extra time to prepare, facing a divisional rival, this flat showing tells us very clearly that Detroit is an un-backable team right now – the betting marketplace is going to have a tough time properly pricing a team that has lost each of their first four games of the season by two touchdowns or more.
Carolina had a dozen plays that gained more than ten yards in the first half alone – this offense is not just dink and dunk these days. The Panthers are moving the chains on the ground, setting up Steve Smith and Mushin Mohammed in the passing game downfield. Jake Delhomme averaged nearly eleven yards per pass attempt. Yes, the defense was spectacular today, but it was the offense that impressed me the most. The Panthers have been horrible home favorites for the vast majority of the John Fox era, but they've won SU all three times as home chalk this year with a 2-0-1 ATS mark in last part thanks to the improved capabilities of this revitalized offense.
This team simply cannot be trusted to show up for an early start East Coast game, post bye week or not. The track record in these games under Mike Holmgren is truly disastrous, as their performance against the Bills in Week 1 and their showing against the Giants here would indicate. The defensive question marks continue to mount. Buffalo hung a season high on the Seahawks; San Fran hung a season high on them as well, and the Giants didn't punt in the first half here, scoring on all five possessions…and their first possession of the second half as well. Even with a healthy receiving corps and a pro bowl caliber quarterback, Seattle doesn't look like a playoff team with their defense playing at this level.

This is a great angle to play in the NFL or College just look how the Chargers looked on Sunday.

It works pretty well, as long as you find the stain within a few minutes of it happening. Or else some of it will remain in the carpet. I'd say it's alright.
Pros: Removes stain if recent.

What a beautiful Mother's Day weekend it was to enjoy the farmers' market! Chef Jed reports to us that there is fresh asparagus, beautiful rhubarb, juicy strawberries, and the first shoots of spring garlic and spring onions. Plus a plethora of fresh flowers.
Next week, start looking for berries of every kind. Also, potatoes: fingerlings, Russian banana potatoes, sweet and new potatoes. Keep an eye out for new baby carrots. And not far down the road, broccolini.
Among the fresh market offerings being highlighted on our menu today, we have a new ice cream flavor: Strawberry Rose. If there is an ice cream flavor you would like to taste, visit our FaceBook or Twitter pages, and let us know. We do take requests!
