Heat shock protein 70-mediated sensitization of cells to apoptosis by Carboxyl-Terminal Modulator Protein
The serine/threonine protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) is involved in insulin signaling, cellular survival, and transformation. Carboxyl-terminal modulator protein (CTMP) has been identified as a novel PKB binding partner in a yeast two-hybrid screen, and appears to be a negative PKB regulator with tumor suppressor-like properties. In the present study we investigate novel mechanisms by which CTMP plays a role in apoptosis process.
CTMP is localized to mitochondria. Furthermore, CTMP becomes phosphorylated following the treatment of cells with pervanadate, an insulin-mimetic. Two serine residues (Ser37 and Ser38) were identified as novel
Our data suggest that phosphorylation on Ser37/Ser38 of CTMP is important for the prevention of mitochondrial localization of CTMP, eventually leading to cell death by binding to Hsp70. In addition to its role in PKB inhibition, CTMP may therefore play a key role in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis by localizing to mitochondria.
Protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) is activated by receptor tyrosine kinases and regulates cell proliferation, survival, and motility
Recently, C-terminal modulator protein (CTMP) was identified as a PKB binding partner
Mitochondria regulate cellular energy supplies, apoptosis, and signaling pathways. Alterations in mitochondrial function are responsible for a range of inherited and acquired human diseases and are implicated in the aging process
Here, we describe CTMP phosphorylation on two sites following treatment with pervanadate, an insulin-mimetic. Surprisingly, CTMP C-terminally tagged with GFP was localized to mitochondria, whereas CTMP N-terminally tagged with GFP was mainly found in the cytoplasm. Consistent with this observation, mitochondrial localization of endogenous and exogenous CTMP has recently been reported
Identification of phosphorylated residues of CTMP in pervanadate-stimulated CCL64 cells
We previously observed CTMP phosphorylation upon pervanadate treatment in cells stably expressing Flag-CTMP

Functional mitochondrial localization of CTMP
Functional mitochondrial localization of CTMP. U2OS cells were transfected with (A) CTMP GFP-tagged at the N-terminus (GFP-NT-CTMP) or (B) CTMP GFP-tagged at the C-terminus (GFP-CT-CTMP) for 24 h. Differential localization of CTMP (Cyt: cytoplasm, PM: plasma membrane, Mit: mitochondria, Nuc: Nucleus) was examined using confocal microscopy. At least 200 cells were counted from three distinct fields for each transfected group. U2OS cells were co-transfected with (C) pEGFP-N3-CTMP and pDsRed-mito for 24 h and analyzed by confocal microscopy. (D) U2OS cells were transfected with pEGFP-N3-CTMP. Total lysates (Tot), cytosolic fractions (Cyt), and mitochondrial fractions (Mit) were analyzed by immunoblot analysis. (E) The subcellular fractions of HEK 293 cells were analyzed with the indicated antibodies. (COX IV, Mit marker; α-tubulin, Cyt marker). (F) Mitochondrial fractions of HEK 293 cells were isolated and treated under the indicated conditions. Samples were separated into the supernatant (S) and precipitate (P) fractions and then analyzed. (AIF, Mit intermembrane space marker).

MTS- and phosphorylation-dependent mitochondria localization of CTMP in U2OS cells. U2OS cells were transfected with (A) An N-terminal deletion mutant of CTMP (GFP-CT-CTMP ΔN31) or (C) The S37D/S38D negatively charged side group-mimic mutant form of CTMP (GFP-CT-CTMP-S37D/S38D) for 24 h. Differential localization of CTMP (Cyt: cytoplasm, PM: plasma membrane, Mit: mitochondria, Nuc: Nucleus) was examined using confocal microscopy. At least 200 cells were counted from three distinct fields for each transfected group. U2OS cells were co-transfected with (B) pEGFP-N3-Δ31-CTMP and pDsRed-mito for 24 h and analyzed. (D) HeLa cells were transduced with the indicated virus for 24 h, treated with 1 uM staurosporine for 3 and 6 h, harvested, and analyzed. Results are representative of three independent experiments. (E, F) Bands of cleaved PARP and caspase 9 were further analyzed by densitometry. Statistical differences of cleaved protein were determined by comparing values for actin at each lane. The results are mean ± SD of three independent experiments. Asterisk, p < 0.05; double asterisk, p < 0.01.
CTMP overexpression sensitizes the cell to apoptosis induced by staurosporine
To evaluate the apoptotic role of CTMP, we overexpressed CTMP in HeLa cells for 24 h and subsequently treated the cells with 1 μM staurosporine for the indicated times. Stauroporine-mediated apoptosis (assessed by PARP cleavage and Caspase 3/9 activation) was detected at 3 h of treatment (Figure
CTMP-mediated Hsp70 sequestration leads to the dissociation of Hsp70 and Apaf-1
Recent studies show that heat-shock proteins (Hsps) family, including Hsp90, Hsp70 and Hsp27, can influence apoptosis through direct physical interaction with key components of the apoptotic machinery
Figure 4
Binding of CTMP to Hsp70 inhibits the formation of a complex containing Hsp70 and Apaf-1 in HeLa cells
Binding of CTMP to Hsp70 inhibits the formation of a complex containing Hsp70 and Apaf-1 in HeLa cells. (A) HeLa cells were transiently transfected with HA-CTMP and cultured for 24 h. Bound proteins in HA-CTMP immunoprecipitates were detected using anti-Hsp70 and anti-Hsp90 antibodies (top two panels). (B) HeLa cell extracts were incubated with anti-CTMP antibody and bound Hsp70 was assessed by immunoblotting (top panel). (C) HeLa cells were infected with GFP- and CTMP-adenovirus for 24 h. After immunoprecipitation of Apaf-1, bound Hsp70 was detected (top panel). Input of each protein was also detected (bottom). Similar results were obtained in three separate experiments. (D) In addition to CTMP's role in PKB inhibition, CTMP has a key role in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis by localizing to mitochondria. CTMP appeared to be phosphorylated on Ser37/Ser38 in response to pervanadate stimulation, resulting in the cytosolic localization of CTMP. In this context, CTMP sensitizes the cell to apoptosis by binding to Hsp70, thus preventing its binding to Apaf-1. Therefore, CTMP may have distinct roles in various subcellular compartments.
Mitochondria are essential organelles in most eukaryotic cells and function in the maintenance of cellular energy supplies. Mitochondria are responsible for thermoregulation and synthesis of essential molecules
We provide the first evidence that CTMP, a negative regulator of PKB, localizes to the mitochondria in a MTS-dependent manner (Figure
Evidence suggest that CTMP negatively regulates PKB activity in v-
CTMP was detected in the membrane and cytosol fraction of LN229 cells
Mitochondrial localization is mediated by the MTS. In most cases, the MTS is present as a cleavable sequence at the N terminus, also called a pre-sequence
The molecular pathways that mediate apoptosis are tightly regulated by a series of positive and negative signals, the balance of which determines whether or not cells commit suicide
In summary, this work provides the first evidence for the involvement of phosphorylation in the MTS-mediated mitochondrial localization of CTMP. In addition to its role in PKB inhibition, CTMP has a key role in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis by localizing to mitochondria. Whether phosphorylation of these serine residues affects CTMP protein-protein interactions remains unknown. Further analysis is likely to elucidate additional CTMP regulatory mechanisms, which will provide a better understanding of its role in signaling and its potential in therapeutic applications.
The anti-CTMP antibody used was described previously
Construction of expression vectors
GFP-N-terminal-tagged CTMP (GFP-NT-CTMP) was previously reported
Cell culture and stimulation
U2OS, CCL64, HeLa, and HEK 293 cells were maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, 100 unit/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Life Technologies) and were transfected using FuGene 6 (Roche), jetPEI (Q-biogene), or Lipofectamine (Invitrogen) reagent. The transfection mixture was removed after 24 h and cells were serum-starved for 16 h before stimulation for 15 min with 100 μM pervanadate, prepared in 0.2 mM H2O2
Metabolic labeling of CCL64 cells was performed as described previously, with minor modifications
Phosphorylation site mapping by mass spectrometry
Extracted peptides were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) interfaced with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), using a Rheos 4000 chromatograph equipped with a 1 × 250 mm Vydac (Hesperia) C18 column and interfaced with a Sciex API 300 mass spectrometer (PE Sciex), operated in the single quadrupole mode on Q1. Analysis of mass spectra of phosphopeptides was performed as described previously
Confocal imaging analysis of CTMP localization
U2OS cells were grown on glass coverslips and transfected with GFP-CTMP or pDsRed-Mito, a mitochondrial marker. After 24 h, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 10 min, mounted with Vectashield (Vector Laboratories) and visualized using a OLYMPUS 510 confocal microscope. Differential localization of CTMP (Cyt: cytoplasm, PM: plasma membrane, Mit: mitochondria, Nuc: Nucleus) was examined using confocal microscopy. At least 200 cells were counted from three distinct fields for each transfected group.
Preparation of mitochondria and plasma membranes
Cells were washed with PBS and resuspended in mitochondrial fraction buffer (20 mM HEPES, pH 8.0, 10 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 250 mM sucrose, 1 mM PMSF, 10 g/ml leupeptin, 10 g/ml aprotinin, and 0.2 mM sodium orthovanadate) for 30 min on ice and then homogenized. Unbroken cells and nuclei were removed. The supernatant was centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 30 min at 4°C. The resultant supernatant, representing the cytosolic fraction, was centrifuged at 100,000 × g for 1 h at 4°C. The resultant pellet was washed with 500 μl of mitochondrial fraction buffer and solubilized in lysis buffer to generate the mitochondrial fraction. Isolated mitochondrial fractions were further treated with 2 M sodium chloride, 100 mM sodium carbonate (pH 11.2), or 1% Triton X-100 for 30 min. Samples were ultracentrifuged at 100,000 × g for 1 h to separate the supernatant (S) and precipitate (P) fractions.

"No, I can't say everything. I know fans want me to explain about players, but I can never put our players in a negative light. Sometimes, the effort may be good, but they may not be performing as we need them to perform. And it could be for a number of different reasons.
"While I'm never going to put our players in a negative light, at the same time when I'm asked what is going on, I try to be as open as I can. But I've learned two things - I'm not going to put our players in a negative light and I try not to make comments that would sound as if I'm making excuses."
Do you think anything is broken?
"No, I don't think anything is broken at all. We developed ourselves into a good football team last year. What we did as coaches was we did what we had to do to give our players a chance to win.
"This year, from a schemes standpoint, we went into the season with the idea that we really wanted to open up the offense. I went to visit Michigan and we had some coaches go to Oklahoma. And we took some things from both of those programs that we felt like would really, really help us. And they have helped us. Patterns are open. From a schemes standpoint I wouldn't do anything different."
And you now have the leading receiver in the SEC in Brandon McRae.
"And believe me we have missed a lot of chances in the passing game. From a schemes standpoint, it is better than it has ever been since we have been here. We added some concepts and deleted some others. That's why it's so frustrating. We know what we are doing is right, but we are not getting the point results and the win results that I feel like we should be getting."
Do you think maybe the players simply can't execute what you are trying to do on offense?
"No, because what we are now doing is simpler, but now I hate to even say they aren't executing because people interpret that as if I'm blaming the players.
"This is what we have done. When you put in plays you put them in during the spring. And you work them every single day. You come back to camp and you do the same plays over and over and over again. Because of that, there are no excuses for not doing things right. That's why I'm not going to say they are not executing again. I'm just going to answer the question by simply saying blame me."
Your offense hasn't been in the upper half of offenses, nationally, since you have been here. Do you think there is something that you really need to look at during the offseason and then possibly make some major adjustments?
"I've looked at everything already. That's what people don't understand. I get questions about us running the West Coast Offense all the time. But we haven't run the West Coast Offense since the first year we were here. When was the last time you heard me say we are running the West Coast Offense? You haven't."
That's true. But what are you running now?
"We are running what our players can run. We still have a couple of the West Coast Offense concepts - one or two of the concepts. But a lot of stuff we got from Michigan is the same stuff that West Virginia runs. Those things give us a chance to spread people out and run, basically, a spread concept at times."
How much of the spread do you run?
"We run parts of it, but we can't totally go to it because we still have to run Anthony Dixon. And he's not a spread running back."
Are Robert Elliott and Wade Bonner spread offense type running backs?
"Yes. Why I did it is because of them. When they are on the field, they can't do everything that AD can do. And we are not good enough throwing the ball in our base set to continue to do some of the things that I want to do. So, we've had to change some things."
Do you think you have all the parts that you need to be a really good offense or do you think that you are still in the process of developing that?
"We are still in the process of developing that."

Stocks to Watch: Qualcomm, Baxter, Cheesecake Factory and More
By Caitlin Nish and Corrie Driebusch
Some stocks to watch this morning, including Qualcomm and Fifth Third Bancorp.
Qualcomm Inc. reported a 35% increase in third-quarter earnings and boosted its guidance for the year as the wireless chip maker benefits from strong global demand for smartphones and its recent acquisition of Atheros Communications Inc. Shares, though, fell 3.1% to $55.55 in pre-market trading on concerns about Qualcomm's licensing revenue and its guidance for chip shipments in the fourth quarter.
Baxter International Inc.'s second-quarter earnings rose a better-than-expected 15% as the medical-products company reported double-digit sales growth and benefited from foreign-exchange impacts. For the year, the maker of medical products used in biosurgery as well as various critical therapies and vaccines again raised its per-share earnings forecast. Shares rose 1.9% to $61.96 premarket.
Fifth Third Bancorp's second-quarter profit soared 76% as the regional lender benefited from improving credit conditions and lower loan-loss provisions than a year earlier. Shares rose 2.4% to $12.63 premarket.

Inspiring, but a bit too saccharine Feb 8, 2008
by greebs
This true tale of a horrible tragedy that befell Marshall University is worth a view, but at the end of the day feels a bit more like a Hallmark Movie of the Week than a quality film. Matthew McConaughey is too over the top and almost cartoonish, which offsets good perfomances by Matthew Fox and some of the players on the team. "We Are! Marshall!" is a cheer that sends chills down a viewer's arms and certainly it's an inspiring, heartwarming story about persevering through grief...but sadly, it's not a great film.

Daunte Culpepper has at least given the Lions a reason to think about not drafting a quarterback.
New coach Jim Schwartz held his first minicamp this weekend, and he came away impressed with Culpepper, the 32-year-old veteran who is down to a svelte 260 pounds.
Culpepper said he was 290 pounds when he joined the Lions in November.
"You just have to look at Daunte to see his commitment," Schwartz told reporters. "We're really proud of the work he's done and the shape he's in."
Culpepper sits top the the Lions' depth chart with Drew Stanton and Drew Henson. And the Lions are considering selecting a quarterback, potentially Georgia's Matthew Stafford, with the first selection in Saturday's draft.
But if they are confident that Culpepper can still be effective, the Lions could draft a tackle (Baylor's Jason Smith) or linebacker (Wake Forest's Aaron Curry) with the first pick. (The agents for Smith were in Detroit to meet with Lions officials this weekend.)
Culpepper, who couldn't find a job and retired at the start of last season before deciding to join the Lions, said he feels his best since injuring his knee in 2004. He's played in a maximum of seven games a year since then.
"I feel like I'm kind of coming out in the draft again, believe it or not," Culpepper told reporters. "It's kind of like, hey, it's the beginning again. I feel like my rookie year again. I'm excited."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

WhatsApp announced that it is scrapping its annual $1 subscription fee. What will you do with all your new-found savings?
Currently, the service is free for a year. After that, you're charged $1 each year, but WhatsApp is to abandon this model. WhatsApp founder Jan Koum revealed that the service is scrapping this fee saying that the charging system "really doesn't work that well."
Rather than introducing ads to make up the difference, WhatsApp plans to find new ways to connect users with businesses and organisations. This may sound familiar as Facebook, which also owns WhatsApp, is doing something similar with its own Messenger app.

Top 10 Kids Movies
Old Favorites and Instant Classics Your Family Will Love
We had very specific criteria when assembling GAYOT's list of the best kids movies of all time. We wanted to include timeless classics, but they couldn't all be Disney. We certainly wanted to feature the coolest newer releases, but they couldn't all be Pixar. The most important concern, though, was this: All films had to appeal to both kids and adults, who'd likely be watching these picks alongside their wee ones. This meant clever dialogue, mischievous characters, great, timeless cinematography and stories that make us feel not just entertained but also transported.

Police say man punched, kicked dog in middle of street
Published: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 4:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 11:17 p.m.
A man who whose dog bit a bystander after the bystander tried to stop him from punching the dog was arrested on multiple charges early Tuesday morning, including animal cruelty.
The dog, described as a pit bull by police and witnesses, bit the bystander and was later choked so hard by the owner with the leash and collar that it trembled and defecated, according to a Gainesville Police Department report.
Witness Kami Hotchkiss said she and her friends saw Rene Paul Cohn Jr., 34, of 1740 NW Second Ave., outside his home dragging and kicking the white dog and trying to get it to bite the people just after midnight.
"The owner was completely drugged out of his mind. He was dragging this pit bull trying to get it to attack us. The dog was not doing anything to anybody, period. It was a nice dog," she said. "He was beating it in the middle of the street. Everybody was arguing with this guy. These other guys came up and it was a big commotion."
Police reported that Cohn kept saying "kill" to the dog. During the scene the dog bit David Matthew Chesser of Smyrna, Ga. A laceration to Chesser's leg required stitches.
Chesser could not be reached by The Sun for comment.
Once police arrived, Cohn ignored commands to stop walking away. He asked officer James Rengering if he had a gun and when Rengering said he did, Cohn said "kill" repeatedly to the dog.
Cohn tried to climb through a window into his home. Officers stopped him, but Cohn attempted to choke the dog by pulling on its leash, which was attached to a choke collar. The dog began trembling and defecated, the report said.
Cohn was arrested, and the dog was turned over to Alachua County Animal Services.
Animal Services Director Vernon Sawyer said the dog, whose name is unknown, was taken to an emergency veterinary practice for examination and then brought to the shelter. The dog appears to be in good condition.
Depending on the temperament of the dog and the outcome of the case, the dog could be offered for adoption, Sawyer said.
The agency must go through a legal process to get rights to the dog. The dog must also be kept as evidence in the criminal case against Cohn.
"We do (temperament evaluations) on all animals. We look at whether a bite was provoked or unprovoked and how the animal behaves here," Sawyer said. "Sometimes an animal will come in here and be shy or freaking out because it's in a cage, but after a couple of days of staff working with it, it will be fine."
Cohn was arrested on charges of animal cruelty, aggravated battery, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest without violence. He was being held on Tuesday at the Alachua County jail on $10,000 bond.

text: Please help me guys, I have a customer that is an older lady that gets her brother in-law to do alot of maintenance around the house for her that she can't do anymore like paint, fix appliances...... Well about a month ago this brother in-law decides he should install a sprinkler system at the house since i've got the lawn looking good and she is spending alot of money on me maintaining it(no problem I thought)!!! well I couldn't come to the property for about 2 weeks while he was installing the system because he had the lawn all dug up and pipes were everywhere.( there again, i thought no problem right). So to make a long story short he finally got the irrigation installed and I come over to cut the grass and I realize that he has no clue what he is doing. There are heads in the middle of the lawn and all over the place. valve boxes every where in the way, the wrong heads in the wrong places ect...well I didn't worry about it because its not my lawn but then later on she called me and said I broke one of her heads and i need to fix it. so I go over to fix it and realize that this dumb guy installed the heads wrong. instead of using poly flex pipe to connect the sprinkler head to the main pipe, he put a t fitting on the main line with threads on it and just screwed the head into it. so the head has no give or flex to it and now if you even step on a head it will break. this lady thinks think guy knows everything and wants me to replace the one I broke. Would you??

I've read somewhere that you can move out at 17 as long as you can take care of yourself and you are going to school, but I'm home schooled, so what does that mean?
Mark is correct. The Family Code treats you as a child for purposes of its laws (runaway is one) even though the criminal laws treat you as an adult at 17. Chapter 31 of the Texas Family Code governed "removal of disabilities of minority." Section 31.001 lists the requirements as 1) be a resident of the state; 2) 17 years old (or 16 under a different set of facts); and 3) be self-supporting and managing the minor's own financial affairs.See question

Men's Golf Season PreviewFebruary 17, 2017
BREVARD, N.C. – Following a strong fall segment in which the men's golf program finished runner-up at both the Etowah and Hummingbird Intercollegiate, the Tornados take to the links this coming spring in hopes of turning heads and leaving their impact felt across the South Atlantic Conference.
In his final go as head of the Tornados men's golf program, David Nelson knows he has the talent to compete with the SAC's top tier and is hoping that the teams success from the fall will carry over into the coming months.
"I have high expectations for this season," said Nelson. "I feel we are a top-three team in the conference and finally have enough experience to handle the pressure of winning some events. Currently, my top five features four seniors who have all seen significant playing time in their four years and one talented sophomore. Our best player so far this spring has been Steffen Heckele (Oberndorf, Germany). "
In addition to Heckele, the Tornados remaining top-five members feature a seasoned playing average that has contributed to a large amount of success for each returner. Senior Luis Vega (Madrid, Spain) leads the senior pack, looking to cap off an outstanding career for the blue and white, which includes an All-Conference Honorable Mention selection during his sophomore year. Senior Oskar Lundgren has been a two-time team MVP, while also collecting All-SAC 2nd Team All-Conference honors last season.
In addition to Vega and Lundgren, coach Nelson welcomes the return of senior Sebastian Strehl (Asperg, Germany), who earned team MVP his freshman year and has been playing some of his best golf entering the spring season. While senior Paul Calac (Valley Center, Calif.) returns for his final championship segment, having been a staple for the Tornados top-five since he arrived as a freshman. All of the above mentioned players possess the ability post subpar rounds and lead the Tornados to their first ever SAC Championship.
Though Heckele, Vega, Lundgren, Calac and Strehl have qualified in the top-five for the Tornados opening tournament, a dark horse to watch in the coming weeks is sophomore Austin Fisher (Hendersonville, N.C.) who cracked Brevard's top-five back in the fall is a player that continues to develop on a daily basis and could see himself playing as either an individual or inside the teams top-five.
Brevard is slated to open the spring tomorrow, Feb. 18 as they travel to Greenville, S.C. to take part in the Bruins Spring Golf Invitational, before playing in the Richard Rendleman Fe. 27-18 and the SAC Golf Championship, Apr. 23-25 in Salisbury, N.C.

US Ambassador on Iraq, the UN and terrorism
Tony Jones talks with the United States' ambassador Tom Schieffer about Iraq, the UN and terrorism in South-east Asia.
Compere: Tony Jones
Reporter: Tony Jones
TONY JONES, PRESENTER: We're joined now by Tom Schieffer, the US ambassador to Australia.
He's in our Canberra studio.
TOM SCHIEFFER, US AMBASSADOR TO AUSTRALIA: Good to be here.
TONY JONES: Is it your understanding that the US has to go back to the Security Council if Iraq fails to comply with this resolution?
TOM SCHIEFFER: I think what the resolution says is that the inspectors are to report back to the UN Security Council any material breaches they have and I think the US is prepared to have that happen.
TONY JONES: False statements or omissions in the declaration submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and Iraq's failure to comply will be reported back to the assessment.
Does that mean the Security Council itself will have to make a judgment as to what the next action would be?
TOM SCHIEFFER: Well I think that the US would ask for the military option to be exercised at that point in time, reserving the right to do it themselves if the UN failed to act.
But I think that we're a long way from that process and what we aught to do is let this thing work itself out.
This is a pretty dramatic thing that happened on Friday, when the UN Security Council endorsed this resolution on a 15-0 vote.
Even states like Syria voted for this resolution and I think that the fact that we do have a united international community is the best hope that this thing can be resolved peacefully because, if Saddam Hussein has no wiggle room and is confronted with the real possibility that action is going to be taken, then I think that gives us the best hope for peace in the end.
TONY JONES: What has everyone worried, I suppose, is the statement you made earlier -- the US reserves the right to go to war against Iraq, even if the Security Council says no.
TOM SCHIEFFER: Well, I think it's important to remember that -- it would be hard to argue that this action didn't come about because the US basically brought the matter to the UN and said something needs to be done.
After all four years ago inspectors were kicked out of Iraq and virtually nothing has been done in the interim.
I think the fact that the US said that it was prepared to do something was able to focus the attention of the international community on the problem, I think we're addressing it.
I think this process that we've gone through has been a very powerful one and one that everybody in the international community can take pride in.
TONY JONES: I come back to my question, though, once you join the process, once you go into the Security Council process, don't you have to accept that the Security Council becomes then the umpire for when military action can take place?
In other words, you have to get the agreement again before you go to war with Iraq.
TOM SCHIEFFER: I hope we'd have the agreement.
And I think that is what we'd seek.
Obviously things are better if the UN gives its stamp of approval.
What the President and the administration have said is that we do reserve the right to protect the American people, if the President deems that necessary.
Hopefully that situation won't arise because the international community will speak to it.
TONY JONES: Do you expect at this stage that Baghdad will comply to this first seven-day dead line?
TOM SCHIEFFER: I think they'll allow the inspectors in.
When whether they'll cooperate and disarm Iraq is something that we have to see and work its way through the process.
This is a very big step that has been taken here and it is one that I think all of us can take pride in and one that I think was shaped by world opinion.
Obviously the resolution that we ended up with was not the resolution that we began with.
It came about because the US listened, heard concerns and tried to guide a process that would come up with a unified response, and I think that's what we've done.
TONY JONES: If the chief weapons inspect Hans Blix is not able to do his job, he reports back to the Secretary-General and the Secretary-General immediately convenes the Security Council.
The Security Council then sits and once again will vote.
Ultimately the question here is going to be whether at that point the US will accept that vote, because, if it doesn't, doesn't that bring into question the very system that it's signed up to at this stage?
TOM SCHIEFFER: Well, I think, Tony, that all the what ifs or what if the process fails -- and the process hasn't failed yet, the process is actually working And two months ago, three months ago people said that there was no possibility of a UN resolution.
A couple of weeks ago people said, "France and Russia will veto it."
The process has worked itself out and we we have the UN resolution and the weapons inspectors can focus on the goal to disarm Iraq from the weapons of mass destruction.
We have a chance for all those things to occur and we ought to let them work themselves out without kind of jumping over all of the things that could happen if the process fails.
TONY JONES: It's worth thinking this through because it's so important for the international security system.
Is there any international law that you can point to that would permit the US to go to war with Iraq without the backing of the Security Council?
TOM SCHIEFFER: Sure.
It's a matter of self-defence.
I think that that is --
TONY JONES: How would that apply in this case?
TOM SCHIEFFER: If the US feels that it's being threatened by the weapons of mass destruction, we have the right to go in and take them out.
We're not at that point.
We're at the point of trying to let the UN address this problem and we find that the UN speaks with one voice, as it has done last Friday, it is a powerful medium and it is a force for peace.
We let to let that work itself out and we need to let that process be taken to Saddam Hussein and say, "This is the 17th time that the UN has said something has to be done about these weapons of mass destruction and the 17th time is the time that it really has to be done."
And if Saddam Hussein believes he has any wiggle room in this process, he won't do it.
The fact that we have this unanimity in the world community is a powerful force for peace and hopefully it will work.
TONY JONES: If the President decided ultimately that it was in the US national interest to go to war with Iraq without the green light from the UN, would the US expect its allies to go along with that as well?
TOM SCHIEFFER: Everyone would have to make their own decision based on their own interests.
This whole idea of having a supplier of weapons of mass destruction to the world at large -- and to terrorists in particular -- is a dangerous to the world order, not just to peace in the US.
And I think all those who would be interested in peace would want to participate in that process.
TONY JONES: So you would argue to Australia that it's in Australia's interests to do so, even if it meant going against the wishes of the Security Council?
TOM SCHIEFFER: Australia has to make a determination as to what it believes are Australia's interests are.
That's not for the US to decide.
We have a strong case that terrorism is a worldwide problem.
It's not a problem of the US alone.
The bombs in Bali showed once again that this terrorism can strike any number of places and any number of nations.
And all of us, if we act together, have a better chance of defeating it than if we're separated from one another.
That's why I think in the end the process worked in the US to get this resolution.
TONY JONES: You've mentioned the Bali attack.
I've put this to you, would it make sense for Australia, with its limbed resources, given the problems in its own region, to keep its forces within its own region, to not send them half way around the world to Iraq, but to keep them here because the threat to Australia is here?
TOM SCHIEFFER: That's a decision for the Australians.
TONY JONES: You would understand that, though, would you?
You wouldn't quibble with that?
TOM SCHIEFFER: We would respect any decision that Australia would make because we believe Australians are great allies of the US and great friends of the American people.
They certainly have been in the past and we have every reason to believe they would be in the future.
The problem you have in these international terrorists plots and organisations is -- the attack in Bali occurred obviously in Indonesia but we don't know where it was headquartered or where it was decided, whether it was Afghanistan or in the Middle East somewhere or in Indonesia itself.
It's the nature of this international threat that it knows no border and we have to seek out the people who are perpetrating these acts wherever they are and whether that's in Indonesia or Afghanistan or the Middle East.
And I think that's at the root cause of what we're talking about in this whole affair.
TONY JONES: You've watched the situation here in Australia very closely, that's your job.
You'd be aware of the growing gap between the Government and the Labor Party over this issue and presumably the public mood.
Does it worry you to see that bipartisanship may disappear on this issue of going to war with Iraq?
TOM SCHIEFFER: Hopefully it wouldn't disappear.
We have had good relations with Labor Governments as well as Liberal Governments.
But bipartisanship is an important factor and we would hope that we could continue to receive the bipartisan support of both parties.
But that's a matter for the Labor Party to decide as well as the Coalition.
TONY JONES: Have you expressed any concerns to Simon Crean that bipartisanship over this particular issue could end?
TOM SCHIEFFER: I've been in constant contact with members of the Labor Party as well as Simon Crean.
I'm confident that Mr Crean is appreciative of the benefit of bipartisanship and that he will look at these things and try to carry bipartisanship as far as he can go.
TONY JONES: What about the other side of that coin?
Would there be any implications for the US alliance for a future Labor government if bipartisanship ended because Labor wanted it to on this issue of war with Iraq?
TOM SCHIEFFER: You're kind of getting me into a lot of speculation that I don't want to get into.
TONY JONES: It a pretty important question though because Labor and the Government will moving widely apart on this issue.
Labor wants to keep troops back in this region.
TOM SCHIEFFER: Well, that's something for the Labor Party to decide and that's not for me to decide.
We have had good relations with both the Labor Party in the past and with Coalition governments.
We've had terrific alliance support from both sides and we would hope that that would continue.
We think that's in the best interests of the US and in the best interests of Australia.
TONY JONES: Finally, to Indonesia -- does the US believe that Kopassus troops were responsible for the murder of the two US citizens in October outside the Freeport mine in West Papua?
TOM SCHIEFFER: That's an ongoing investigation.
I don't think we've reached a conclusion as to who was totally responsible for that.
That having said, that there are some disturbing reports that there might have been military involvement there and I think that they need to be pursued.
We basically need to let the chips fall where they may and bring to justice whoever was responsible for that because it was a heinous crime.
TONY JONES: It's been reported that the US is extremely concerned about this and is refusing to unfreeze its military links with Indonesia precisely because of this incident.
TOM SCHIEFFER: Well, there's a lot of talk in the administration about trying to renew links to the Indonesian military.
As you know, the so-called Leahy Amendment was passed by Congress that prohibited the exchange of military officers with the two armies and there's been some talk about trying to repeal that.
This kind of serious incident is obviously a complicating factor.
But we are pursuing the thought of trying to renew those contacts and I think that's actively being pursued, as is this investigation.
TONY JONES: Finally, ambassador, and very briefly, given that at the very least Kopassus is the major suspect in the murder of two Americans, would it worry you to see Australia renew defence links with Kopassus?
TOM SCHIEFFER: I don't know that Kopassus is the prime suspect.
There may be some members of the military who would be involved and I think you have to keep that distinction.
But I think that all of us have to examine what's in the interests of our own countries and there's no question that an argument can be made that we have suffered from the lack of contacts between our two militaries over the past few years.
TONY JONES: Thank you for taking the time to join us once again on Lateline.
TOM SCHIEFFER: Thank you, Tony.

Bathrooms – The blue sky option?
Bringing the outdoors in is a rising trend in bathroom design – be it a large window framing lush green foliage, a glass door or louvres opening to the garden or – as in the picture – a bathroom opening completely to a pond, courtyard or patio. The last one, admittedly, is the dream option!
Key to achieving the look, irrespective of the size of the view, is to keep the interior of the bathroom uncluttered. Smaller bathrooms in particular will benefit from 'visual trickery' whereby wall-hung fixtures, such as vanities and toilets, create the illusion of more space and 'dead space' (such as a tight corner) is used for storage, keeping toiletries and 'clutter' out of sight.
For those with space, a freestanding sculptural bath is a must-have and Kohler's Escale brings just the right shape and proportions to the mix. It is available as either a conventional bath or with BubbleMassage technology whereby thousands of bubbles filled with warm air are released from concealed air jets to massage and support the entire body.
For those with limited space Kohler has a number of conventional built-in baths offering the same BubbleMassage technology.
To perfectly complement the shape of the Escale bath Kohler has released the Escale 1010mm bench top basin with integrated counterspace – this sits atop the vanity of choice and can be teamed with a sculptural mixer tap such as the four star WELS rated Symbol. To complete the Escale look there is a four star WELS rated back to wall toilet suite. For those looking to enhance the feeling of space, choose the wall hung version with concealed cistern.
Showers can be open-plan, as in the picture, or defined by a shower screen or free standing wall. Practically speaking though, the open-plan mode is really only viable in a larger scale room – but whatever the space, choose a multifunction shower that can pamper tired bodies and aching muscles with a strong massage spray or a refreshing, restorative deluge of water. Kohler's Flipside, with its four spray functions at a flip of the head, is the easy answer.

|Elton John singles chronology
"Healing Hands" was the final Billboard Hot 100 hit single of the 1980s for Elton John, written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and recorded on his million-selling 1989 album Sleeping with the Past. The single was released during the late-summer of 1989, and was a top-twenty hit in the US. It was paired as a double A-side single with "Sacrifice", which became Elton's first solo number 1 single in the UK.[3] The song was inspired by the Four Tops song "Reach Out, I'll Be There".[4] Produced by Chris Thomas, it was the first of three singles released from the album, with the follow-ups being "Sacrifice" and "Club at the End of the Street".
"Healing Hands" did moderately well as a single in the United States, climbing to #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart the week of October 21, 1989 (dislodging Madonna's "Cherish" from the #1 position). The song failed to make the UK Top 40 on its initial release, as did the follow-up, "Sacrifice". However, after Steve Wright of BBC Radio One added "Sacrifice" to his station's playlist, "Sacrifice" was re-released in the UK as a double A-side with "Healing Hands". The double A-side record topped the UK chart for five weeks starting June 23, 1990, becoming the first solo #1 UK hit of Elton John's career.
Technical details[edit]
Musically, the song is complex,[citation needed] with the intro and verses in the key of B flat, and the chorus in the key of D. An instrumental solo, in the related minor key of g (minor), serves as a bridge. Rob Stevens also sang the song on his debut album, Little Heart for Love.

The Agrarian Collective
Thursday, March 6th from 7pm-9pm
at The Slovenian National Home Kitchen
By March 6th you feel ready for spring but the truth is…it will still very much be winter. You've spent many mornings scraping ice layers glued to your windshield, hours shoveling fresh powder, and became survivors of the arctic Polar Vortexes. Toast your inner winter warrior and join us for a workshop learning the art of making warm craft cocktails and tasty party snacks; the perfect remedy for a long, frozen winter.
The workshop is about having fun and making cocktails the old fashioned way. Join bartender, Mike Gulley of Market Avenue Wine Bar & craft soda maker, as he shows you how to mix drinks, learn proper bartending formulas, and absorb the basics with some particularly cozy, winter ingredients. Of course, no cocktail workshop is complete without some sampling. And, what's a cocktail party with out munching on delicious snacks like our crunchy garlic and sea salt toasted chickpeas or freshly popped honey curry popcorn. So, get a little toasty, and bring the party in the kitchen simply because you deserve it.
