ScienceDaily (Aug. 30, 2012) ? Open an undergraduate biochemistry textbook and you will learn that enzymes are highly efficient and specific in catalyzing chemical reactions in living organisms, and that they evolved to this state from their "sloppy" and "promiscuous" ancestors to allow cells to grow more efficiently. This fundamental paradigm is being challenged in a new study by bioengineers at the University of California, San Diego, who reported in the journal Science what a few enzymologists have suspected for years: many enzymes are still pretty sloppy and promiscuous, catalyzing multiple chemical reactions in living cells, for reasons that were previously not well understood.
In this study, the research team, led by Bernhard Palsson, Galetti Professor of Bioengineering at the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering, brought together decades of work on the behavior of individual enzymes to produce a genome-scale model of E. coli metabolism and report that at least 37 percent of its enzymes catalyze multiple metabolic reactions that occur in an actively growing cell.
"We've been able to stitch all of the enzymes together into one giant model, giving us a holistic view of what has been driving the evolution of enzymes and found that it isn't quite what we've thought it to be," said Palsson.
When organisms evolve, it is the genes or proteins that change. Therefore, gene and protein evolution has classically been studied one gene at a time. However in this work, Palsson and his colleagues, introduce an important paradigm shift by demonstrating that the evolution of individual proteins and enzymes is influenced by the function of all of the other enzymes in an organism, and how they all work together to support the growth rate of the cell.
Using a whole-cell model of metabolism, the research team found that the more essential an enzyme is to the growth of the cell, the more efficient it needs to be; meanwhile, enzymes that only weakly contribute to cell growth can remain 'sloppy.' The study found three major reasons why some enzymes have evolved to be so efficient, while others have not:
Enzymes that are used more extensively by the organism need to be more efficient to avoid waste. To increase efficiency, they evolve to catalyze one specific metabolic reaction. When enzymes are responsible for catalyzing reactions that are necessary for cell growth and survival, they are specific in order to avoid interference from molecules that are not needed for cell growth and survival.
Since organisms have to adapt to dynamic and noisy environments, they sometimes need to have careful control of certain enzyme activities in order to avoid wasting energy and prepare for anticipated nutrient changes. Evolving higher specificity makes these enzymes easier to control.
"Our study found that the functions of promiscuous enzymes are still used in growing cells, but the sloppiness of these enzymes is not detrimental to growth. They are much less sensitive to changes in the environment and not as necessary for efficient cell growth," said Nathan Lewis, who earned a Ph.D. in bioengineering at the Jacobs School in March and is now a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School.
This study is also a triumph in the emerging field of systems biology, which leverages the power of high-performance computing and an enormous amount of available data from the life sciences to simulate activities such as the rates of reactions that break down nutrients to make energy and new cell parts. "This study sheds light on the vast number of promiscuous enzymes in living organisms and shifts the paradigm of research in biochemistry to a holistic level," said Lewis. "The insights found in our work also clearly show that fine-grained knowledge can be obtained about individual proteins while using large-scale models." This concept will yield immediate and more distant results.
"Our team's findings could also inform other research efforts into which enzymes require further study for overlooked promiscuous activities," said Hojung Nam, a postdoctoral researcher in Palsson's lab. "Besides testing and characterizing more enzymes for potential promiscuous activities, enzyme promiscuity could have far-reaching impacts as scientists try to understand how unexpected promiscuous activities of enzymes contribute to diseases such as leukemia and brain tumors," said Nam.

Having a live-in au pair seems like a brilliant solution for families requiring childcare and some extra help around the house, but what exactly is involved and what does it cost? We asked Au Pair Link to explain the basics.
?
What is an Au Pair?
An Au Pair is typically a young person from abroad, employed by a family (often referred to as a "Host Family" in the industry), to care for their children and help with light housework in return for a monetary allowance, room and board.
Not only does an Au Pair provide in-home, dedicated childcare, they also give families the convenience of help around the home. Other Au Pair responsibilities can include:
What are the benefits?
How much does it cost?
A typical Au Pair wage is between $180 - $220 net per week for up to 40 hours of work (excluding tax, room and board). Because an Au Pair is an employee of their Host Family, they enjoy the same rights and benefits under New Zealand employment law as any other employee in New Zealand. As such, the Host Family is required to comply with all relevant New Zealand tax and employment law, including (but not limited to):
A reputable Au Pair agency will provide you with qualified advice and support in respect of your obligations as an employer - and even a payroll service. It is important to remember that the Au Pair employment package is taxable - income tax is not paid solely on the wage component - it must be paid on room and board as well.
Why should I use a professional Au Pair Agency?
Simply put, by choosing a professional Au Pair Agency, you are safeguarding your children against any potential risks. In August 2012, the International Au Pair Association (IAPA) issued a formal statement warning parents against matching with an Au Pair privately through the newspapers or other web-based services. You can read IAPA's full statement here.
A reputable Au Pair agency should provide:
Home based Early Childhood Education
Some Au Pair agencies also offer home based Early Childhood Education (ECE) and support services. This means you can access qualified ECE teacher support, local playgroups, activities and events, childcare training and free educational resources. If you have children under 5 years of age, ask your Au Pair agency if they are licensed by the Ministry of Education as a Home based ECE provider. You can also get access to subsidies like 20 Hours ECE.

Next week, the 2012 NFL regular season launches.? As a very, very, very (did I say very?) small footnote to that, the PFT weed will be spreading into new territory.
We?re taking the website to NBC Sports Network, with a one-hour show every weekday, at 5:00 p.m. ET.
The show, curiously dubbed Pro Football Talk, debuts on Tuesday, September 4.? Hosted by the highly competent and funny and engaging Erik Kuselias and by an Internet hack who is the exact opposite of those three traits, the show will bring the PFT temperament and attitude to the small screen, with help from NBC talent like Rodney Harrison, Hines Ward, Doug Flutie, Ross Tucker, Amani Toomer, and Peter King.
The powers-that-be tell me they?re sending out an official press release soon.? They wanted me to say something for it.? Here?s the best I could muster:? ?When we started the website, the goal was to create a place I?d want to visit as a football fan.? That same objective applies to Pro Football Talk. ?We wanted to make a show that I would spend time watching if I wasn?t involved in it.? Of course, some may say they?d be more likely to watch this show if I actually wasn?t involved in it.?
The content here won?t suffer a bit.? We?ll be tweaking the format of PFT Live so that it will be a shorter show, with less prep time, which gives me more time at the keyboard.? And we?ve put together an excellent stable of writers, from MDS to Darin Gantt to Josh Alper to Evan Silva.
Like the website, Pro Football Talk will be a creature of the moment, with the latest news you need to know, outside-the-box analysis, genuine debate, and some humor.? Not forced or phony laughs, but genuinely funny moments (hopefully) that will make you feel like you?re hanging out with a group of friends.? (Or at a minimum casual acquaintances whom you don?t hate.)
The party starts next Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. ET.? On Wednesday, I?ll be at MetLife Stadium for the show, as we get ready for the regular-season opener between the Cowboys and the Giants.
We?ll be seeking your questions and your input and your feedback; this show is for you not for us and we want to be sure we cover the subjects that you want us to cover ? and that we avoid low-hanging fruit and five-letter quarterback/punt protector/special-teams aces.

Normal moles are harmless and can be found anywhere in the body. This sign usually start growing from childhood to adulthood. Moles are smaller than a pencil eraser, round, and symmetry, and has a smooth edge and color.
2. Actinic keratosis
Actinic keratosis is a precancerous skin growth that can be found on the scalp, face, hands, and forearms. This sign is colored pink or red meat itchy and rough. Such signs must be removed because of 5-10% actinic keratoses can become cancerous.
3. Basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma is the damage to the skin caused by the sun and mostly in the face. Usually looks like a pimple pink or red that can bleed and cause scab. It is a type of skin cancer that can be cured easily if treated promptly.
4. Squamous cell carcinoma
This type of cancer usually appears in many parts of the body, legs, or hands and can be cured if treated early. This form of cancer that grows and resemble warts may bleed. Cancer also has a shape like blisters on the edges.
5. Melanoma
Melanoma is a type of cancer are dangerous and can spread quickly. However, melanoma can be cured if detected early. In women, melanoma often appears in the legs, and rarely on the face. While the men usually appear in the body. You should be wary when looking at such signs of fungal disease but black. Black spot will usually grow bigger is brown, reddish brown, or black permanent.
Those are some signs you should look for when looking at existing spots or warts on your skin. Look closely and be alert. Knowing skin cancer early can be very helpful in the healing process. Do not forget to continue to protect your skin.

FORTUNE -- There has been lots of talk over the past few days about how Bain Capital executives have used management fee waivers?to effectively lower their tax payments (a tactic that is not unique to Bain). Some academics have argued that such waivers are an illegal dodge, while private equity tax attorneys I've spoken with call it "aggressive but accepted by the IRS."
Here is the basic structure: Bain officially charges 2% management fees to investors in its private equity funds. The idea is to cover overhead, such as salaries, office leases, electric bills, etc. ?But Bain has lots of other business lines (venture capital funds, hedge funds, etc.) that generate sufficient cash flow, so it "waives" the PE fund management fees. Well, sort of. Limited partners still pay the 2%, only it flows directly into the fund, as part of Bain's general partner commitment (which is between 10% and 15% of Bain's total PE fund capital, an unusually high percentage).
By doing so, Bain partners don't pay ordinary income taxes on their management fees. Instead, they pay at capital gains rates if/when the deals generate profit (because it's now considered carried interest). It appears that the partners irrevocably waive their rights to the returns if the deal returns less than par, although I don't have access to the LPAs that would spell it out more exactly. That said, sources do tell me that Bain partners cannot take waiver-related capital loss on failed transactions.
Sources sympathetic to such structures cite an IRS ruling (93-27) that specifically seems to allow such waivers, under a notion of partnership risk. Critics say that rule is being perverted, because the risk of loss is so low.
I'm not well-versed enough in IRS minutia to render judgment, but do feel that such structures should be banned going forward. Management fees are a fee for service. As such, they should be taxed as ordinary income. If Bain wants to eliminate management fees altogether, then move to a 0-and-32 structure.
To be sure, I have no problem with fund managers pushing some of their fees into funds. I think it's a good thing, as it's a tighter alignment of interests. But I don't see why their capital should be cheaper than that of the high-net-worth investors in their funds (who paid taxes on their pre-commitment monies). Doing so, in fact, depresses that alignment.
Tax law is a funny thing, because certain?strategies aren't black and white. They're subject to interpretation. When I asked a PE tax attorney if what Bain is doing is allowed, she told me that "allowed" and "not allowed" isn't always the right way to think about it. Okay, understood. But some things are explicitly permitted (treating carried interest as capital gains, for example) and other things are explicitly prohibited (taking deductions for work expenses for which I was reimbursed). So let's just add this one to the latter list.

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Neil Armstrong inspired millions with his moonwalk. Can a feisty robotic rover exploring Mars do the same for another generation? With manned missions beyond the International Space Station on hold, the spotlight has turned on machines.
While it did not rise to Armstrong's "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," interest was so high in the rover Curiosity's "seven minutes of terror" approach to the red planet earlier this month that NASA's website crashed after receiving nearly 2 billion hits. The rover last week beamed home photographs of its first wheel tracks on the Martian soil since its daredevil landing
"There's something exciting about reaching another place in the solar system. If you think about the kind of interest the landing of Curiosity had, you get a sense of that," said Smithsonian Institution space curator Roger Launius. It wasn't on the same level as Armstrong's feat, "but it was pretty darn exciting," he said.
When Armstrong, then fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, stepped on the moon on July 20, 1969, an estimated 600 million people watched and listened. "Virtually the entire world took that memorable journey with us," recalled Buzz Aldrin after Armstrong's death Saturday.
Early in the Space Age, the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts were the public face of NASA's space endeavor while the unmanned lunar missions that paved the way were in the shadows. The public craved adventure and the manned missions delivered. Aiming for the moon was new and exciting ? not to mention dangerous ? and the U.S. was locked in a Cold War space race with the Soviets.
Next, the space shuttle ferried a new crop of astronauts to low-Earth orbit, but after three decades of service, it became routine. And the Cold War thawed with the Russians and Americans cooperating on the Russian space station Mir and the International Space Station.
With the space shuttle fleet retired, the space station is all that's left. Its crew of six for the most part quietly goes about doing its job about 250 miles above the Earth. President Barack Obama nixed plans for returning astronauts to the moon in favor of landing on an asteroid and eventually Mars.
These days, space exploration is carried out by robotic spacecraft ? commanded by human handlers on Earth. Advances in technology have allowed unmanned spacecraft to go farther and peer deeper, with craft circling Mercury, Saturn, asteroid Vesta and others headed for Jupiter and dwarf planet Pluto. The twin Voyager craft are still going strong at the fringes of the solar system 35 years after their launch in 1977.
American University space policy analyst Howard McCurdy said today's generation of explorers was raised on technology and tends to get more jazzed about delivering a car-size rover to Mars.
"Robotic exploration has taken more of a center stage," he said. "It gets more publicity now than the International Space Station."
When the first Mars rover Sojourner landed in 1997, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke rephrased Armstrong's famous line and said the event was "one small step for the rover."
Three other rovers have followed including Curiosity, which landed Aug. 5 by executing an intricate routine that ended with it being lowered by cables to the surface. Curiosity's acrobatics proved so popular that its Twitter followers surged from 120,000 the eve of landing to more than a million (the tweets are being written by the public affairs office at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the $2.5 billion mission.)
Curiosity chief scientist John Grotzinger said Monday the wheel prints on Mars may turn out to be an iconic image just like those first boot prints on the lunar surface.
"Instead of a human, it's a robot pretty much doing the same thing," he said.
Henry Lambright, a professor of public policy and space scholar at Syracuse University, said while Curiosity is inspiring, the world still needs to send humans beyond low-Earth orbit.
"It can't inspire to the degree that Apollo did because a robot can't inspire the way a man can," Lambright said.
On Monday, NASA played a recording from Administrator Charles Bolden that had been sent up to the rover on Mars and relayed back to Earth. In it, he thanked scientists and engineers for their achievement.
David Lavery of NASA headquarters said the hope is that someone will be inspired by Bolden's message and become the first human to stand on Mars.
"Like the great Neil Armstrong, they'll be able to speak aloud ? the first person at that point, of the next giant leap in human exploration," he said.

Tapbots has announced on their blog that the alpha version of Tweetbot for Mac will no longer be available. Now that Twitter limits an app's user base to only 100,000 users, Tweetbot is one of the victims of Twitter's new API rules. The third-party app currently offers a better user experience than Twitter's own official app. It is therefore a controversial outcome. Tapbots contacted Twitter to see if they could implement a workaround to prevent wasting user tokens during the free alpha test, but Twitter was intransigent.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/xTpAwnguxCU/

Spending too much time indoors? You need a Personal Energy Orb, a glowing Arduino powered ball that allows you to trade physical exertion for a tolerable mouse speed. Developed by two students at the University of Munich for a physical computing course, the PEO connects to a bike-mounted revolution counter to note how far a user rides, counting the total distance toward usable time on a computer. A fully "charged" green orb will allow a user to use their PC unhindered -- but a spent red orb will drag Windows' cursor sensitivity settings to its lowest. The idea, the project's creators say, is to annoy the user off of the computer and back on to their bike. It sure sounds aggravating to us. Check out the full homework assignment at the source link below, complete with goals, follies and Python scripts.

This informative article will help you to fully grasp insurance coverage, select the best insurance policies, and save some money. It is actually probably that you?re paying out an excessive amount of money on your recent protection, or maybe you aren?t staying covered just as much as you must be. These tips will assist you to examine your current insurance coverage or locate one that?s right to meet your needs.
When buying an insurance coverage, you can expect to most likely use a greater experience when you go along with a large insurance provider that does enterprise nationwide. National suppliers normally have 24/7 claims program, although your neighborhood insurance plan agent is only able to help you in their company hours. This may mean quickly reaction time for you to your state requires. You will also have accessibility to numerous representatives and not need to delay when you really need to speak to someone.
Regardless of whether they?d be insured, don?t report small claims. Even if you will get reimbursed for the problems, your monthly premiums could rise to some position that will cost more than paying out beyond pocket for that harm. Many businesses offer special discounts to loyal, cautious customers as state-totally free yrs build up, keeping them several money annually.

Conditioning is becoming lately among the most favored methods of physical teaching, obtaining now all the rights to claim the status of mass sports activity. The term comes from English and it crossed about all linguistic limitations, currently being translated as 'physical shape', 'physical state', 'general physical training', 'health state', etc.
Deriving from gals body building, which was dropping its acceptance, fitness has a short while ago develop into an official sport. Being a overall performance sport, health demands particular native features, like all other competitional sports activity. By far the most significant attributes are: a well balanced bone framework, ectomorf or mesomorf somatic sort, expertise, velocity. For those considerably less familiarized with contests during this sports activity, we point out that in ladies opposition you'll find a few functions: evening gown, swimming match as well as a floor gymnastics software.
Coming back again to mass health and fitness, we have to specify that, to a excellent extent, its acceptance is due to its accessibility. In the beginning, the approaches employed in conditioning had been mostly adopted from system creating, but then they began to differentiate more and more from all those of the other sporting activities. Hence, we now possess a distinct technique in health, using a excellent variety of exercise routines.
One more benefit of health and fitness is always that the schooling packages could be individualized according to the choices and goals of every individual. Nonetheless, you can find a continuing in all the systems, and that's the balanced growth of at the least a few motion parameters: strength, resistance and mobility - bodily qualities which can be carefully relevant into the well being state that fitness consists of. This specification is essential, for the reason that it can make the real difference through the doping circumstances (in these cases, the sportsman's bodily form may be fantastic, even though his wellbeing state is definitely not).
The teaching software programs incorporate an extremely various area of cardio and anaerobic exercises. The programs can be taken regardless of of age, as long as they may be finished below proficient supervision and therefore are nicely assimilated. It really is attainable and it really is even wise to vary the instruction plans on occasion as a way to prevent program and revive participants' curiosity. The eating plan plus the plan of relaxation and recovery are incredibly significant.

New Old House
If you are on the lookout for buying your very own home check out the classified ads or talk to realtors directly. Once you see the house that you want and if it is within your budget range, make sure that everything inside is still safe.
Hiring an electrician in Perth and having your house checked must be on the top of the priority list. You don't want your house burned down to the ground because of faulty electrical wiring. The electrician can also rewire your house and help you install your entertainment system (used or repaired), smoke alarms or just do a routine maintenance check-up to help you feel at ease that your house is electrically sound.
You can make an old house look like new once again. Every house has its own personality, get to know your "new ?old' house" and bring out its personality partnered with yours.
It doesn't matter if you can't afford a brand new house, the important thing is that you make it a home and you can call it your own. Just make sure that everything is working properly and that you are safe inside your home.
Used appliances
When furnishing your home, you can start by buying appliances that are not brand new. Of course when you can afford to buy it new, then by all means do so. The point is that there is nothing wrong with used items. If you have an old and broken TV, before throwing it away, consider having it repaired. TV repairs in Perth can be easily found everywhere. There are also shops that would go to your home and repair it on site.
Even your living room can be furnished with used items. If you see a couch or a living room set that is being sold cheaply at flea markets and you can see that it can still be repaired, then think outside the box and have it re-upholstered. Re-upholstering can be cheaper than buying brand new.
The possibilities are endless if you know how to save money and do things on your own.

The organization that manages the Internet domain-name process is moving ahead with plans that could dramatically broaden the list of "generic top-level domains" beyond the 22 domains in use today, such as .org and .com.
ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, earlier this year received more than 2,000 applications for new top-level domains, with individuals and companies applying to register new domains ranging from .mcdonalds to .restaurant. ICANN will accept public comments on these applications through Sept. 26.
ICANN will then sift through the applications and comments to decide which domain names to approve. The organization hopes to begin rolling out new domain names in 2013.
The National Restaurant Association is part of the Coalition for Responsible Internet Domain Oversight, an effort by more than 160 business groups and companies to urge a deliberative process as domain names are expanded. CRIDO is concerned about confusion for Internet users as well as the possibility of huge new costs if businesses are forced to register new domains to protect their trademarks and brands.
Visit ICANN's website for more information about the 2,000+ applications ICANN has received or to submit comments on any of these applications.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Academy President Hawk Koch has handed the keys to the Oscar show to a pair of producers best known for making musicals.
Is that a good idea?
History suggests that it could lead to a fresh, lively show... or to a glitzy, cheesy one. Producers with strong musical backgrounds have tackled the Oscars before, and for everyone who's won raves on the demanding Oscar stage, there's another who's fallen flat.
Of course, we don't know what Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have in mind for the 85th Academy Awards, which they were chosen to produce this week. Zadan told TheWrap that it would be "the obvious thing" to assume that their Oscars will be long on music, but that it wouldn't necessarily be accurate.
Still, he admitted that the pair's DNA is in musical films like "Chicago," "Footloose" and "Hairspray," and in Broadway musicals like the recent revivals of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" and "Promises, Promises."
It's probably safe, then, to figure that their musical theater background will influence what they put on the stage of the Dolby Theatre. And while it's not fair to saddle the new guys with the hits and misses of their predecessors, it might be instructive to take a look at what other musical vets did with the Oscar stage when they had a shot at it.
1968: GOWER CHAMPION
While previous Oscar producers like Mervyn LeRoy, Valentine Davies and George Sidney had experience making musicals, Gower Champion was Broadway-musical royalty when he took the reins of the show at a time when screen musicals were thought to be going out of style. Recruited by Academy President Gregory Peck, Champion immediately had an impact on the show: He agreed to produce only if the Oscars were moved from the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium to the newer and more upscale Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in downtown L.A.
Champion also said that it was "a bore" to always use Bob Hope as host, so he brought in 10 "friends of Oscar," including Ingrid Bergman, Sidney Poitier, Frank Sinatra and Tony Curtis. He also loosened the dress code, had a rock band play while dancers wearing the nominated costumes danced the frug and the jerk, and moved the Best Actor award to the middle of the show.
Upon his arrival at the Governors Ball, guests greeted Champion with a standing ovation.
1970: ROBERT WISE
Two years after Champion's show, "West Side Story" and "The Sound of Music" director - and future AMPAS president - Wise took the group-hosting concept to its extreme. Abandoning the idea of a host entirely, Robert Wise used 32 different "friends of Oscar" - or, as we might call them these days, presenters.
Wise also insisted that everybody appearing on the show be a true movie star - which meant, for example, that the Carpenters had to turn over the performance of their nominated song "For All We Know" to Petula Clark, because she had an onscreen career and they didn't.
To a degree, Wise was hamstrung by the fact that only one of the acting winners showed up and that all the suspense revolved around whether the Best Actor award would go to George C. Scott, who had said he didn't want to be nominated for "Patton" and wouldn't accept if it won. He did win, and he didn't accept.
Afterward, according to the book "Inside Oscar," Daily Variety summed it up: "At 43, Oscar looked tired."
1985: STANLEY DONEN
In 1998, director Stanley Donen gave one of the most delightful acceptance speeches in Oscar history, singing "Cheek to Cheek" while dancing with the honorary Oscar with which he'd just been presented. But a dozen years earlier, the director of such classic musicals as "Singing in the Rain," "On the Town," "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and "Damn Yankees" had produced the Oscars, with mixed results.
His show began with an elaborate and unfortunate opening number featuring film clips from "Flying Down to Rio" interspersed with shots of actress Teri Garr piloting an airplane and then climbing onto the wing with a chorus line of dancing girls.
"After that, things improved considerably," the Academy's official history understates - and, in fact, the rest of the show, which included Howard Keel serenading a bevy of leading ladies from MGM musicals, was for the most part enthusiastically received. Despite the opening number, the New York Times called Donen's work "the best Oscar show in years, maybe ever."
1988: ALLAN CARR
You might have heard about this one. To spice up the Oscars at the end of the '80s, the Academy turned to Allan Carr, who had worked on "Saturday Night Fever," co-produced and written "Grease," produced the Village People musical "Can't Stop the Music" and produced the Broadway musical version of "La Cage aux Folles."
Carr immediately proclaimed that he was going to stage the most fabulous Oscars ever. Instead, he staged the most infamous.
His show opened with a monstrous 11-minute musical extravaganza whose most memorable moment came when Rob Lowe butchered a rewritten version of "Proud Mary" with an actress dressed as Snow White - a character for which Carr had forgotten to get clearance. A later musical number, "I Wanna Be an Oscar Winner," was almost as long and just as bad.
Disney sued over the Snow White fiasco, the critics trashed the show, and many said that Carr never recovered from his very public failure.
1996: QUINCY JONES
Quincy Jones had made a bigger mark in the music industry, where he's set the record for most Grammy nominations with 79, than he had in movies when the Academy asked him to produce the Oscars in 1996. But he'd also produced "The Color Purple," written music for films and won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and he enthusiastically took the job with co-producer David Salzman, saying again and again that he was going to change everything about the Oscars.
He didn't quite accomplish that, and during rehearsals his Oscars appeared to be an impending train wreck, chaotic and disorganized.
But on the night of the show it all came together - and once you got past a silly fashion-model presentation of the costume awards, Jones' Oscars had energy (Stomp), music (Bruce Springsteen), eloquence (Emma Thompson's acceptance speech) and real emotion (Christopher Reeve's first public appearance since being paralyzed in a riding accident).
2008: BILL CONDON & LAURENCE MARK
Writer-director Bill Condon, who tackled the Oscars with producer Laurence Mark, got the Academy job after directing one musical, "Dreamgirls," and writing another, Best Picture winner "Chicago." But he and Mark showed a theatrical flair in their Oscar show, with frequent Broadway leading man Hugh Jackman winning raves for his job as host.
If you can get past the incongruity of Jackman singing an opening number about a downsized, lower-budgeted Oscars while standing beneath a million-dollar crystal Swarovski curtain, the Condon and Mark show was the freshest and best of the recent Oscar shows, nicely re-staging the Best Actor and Actress presentations and bringing a shot of adrenaline and intimacy to the entire enterprise.
2009: ADAM SHANKMAN (WITH BILL MECHANIC)
The year after Condon and Mark had their turn, "Hairspray" and "Rock of Ages" director Adam Shankman, who'd begun his career as a choreographer, teamed up with producer Bill Mechanic for an Oscars that was not exactly as successful as its predecessor.
"It wasn't the worst Oscars ever, but it may have been the most disappointing," wrote Joe Adalian at TheWrap, complaining that the show was conventional and tired.
The Shankman/Mechanic show, which did away with performances of the nominated songs for the first time since the Allan Carr Oscars, included Neil Patrick Harris singing a lavish opening number before handing the reins to co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
Shankman also hired 69 dancers, many from the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance," on which he served as a judge - but their use never seemed anywhere near as exciting and revolutionary as he'd promised.
Shankman's and Mechanic's biggest innovation - changing the phrase "and the Oscar goes to... " back to the edgier "and the winner is... " - was abandoned the following year.

WASHINGTON (AP) ? November's presidential election offers Americans one of the starkest choices in years. On this, at least, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney can agree.
Obama says voters will choose between "two fundamentally different visions of where we take America." To which his Republican rival counters: "If you want to know where his vision leads, open your eyes...It leads to lost jobs, lost homes, lost dreams."
Romney promises a countervision of "growth and jobs and economic vitality."
There are no shades of gray. Beyond the usual election-year distortions and exaggerations, a yawning issues gulf separates the two candidates.
Romney sharpened the distinctions by selecting Wisconsin Republican Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, a choice that cheered the GOP's conservative base.
The differences will be on display over the next two weeks as Romney, and then Obama, host their national party conventions.
The world views of the two tickets seem like mirror-images.
Obama sees government as the catalyst for economic growth, a safety net for the neediest, a protector against free-market excesses and a safeguard for the environment. That philosophy led to his stimulus and auto-bailout programs and his support for legislation tightening federal financial regulation. In the future, he wants more government spending on education, on highways and bridges and in promoting renewable energy.
In other words, Obama wants a government that is active on behalf of its citizens while Romney and Ryan believe it should get out of the way.
Borrowing a page from Ronald Reagan, Romney brands government the problem ? not part of the solution. He says overreaching government stifles growth, innovation and productivity. He would slash individual and corporate taxes, lighten federal regulations and trim budget deficits mostly through deep spending cuts.
Their positions hew closely to present day Democratic and Republican hyperpartisan orthodoxy.
"The old rule-of-thumb was that to win the nomination you first win your base and then move to the middle. Both Obama and Romney are being forced to play it closer to their bases than in the past," said presidential scholar Stephen Hess at the Brookings Institution think tank. By now, both candidates should have begun a migration to the center to attract crucial independent voters. "But that's not happening," Hess said.
And with a fifty-fifty polarized nation and a shrinking number of undecided voters, energizing their respective bases is of critical importance.
The candidates harbor many 180-degree differences:
? Romney opposes tax increases of any kind, although he says he would close some unspecified loopholes. He'd extend all Bush-era tax cuts and lower corporate and individual rates. Obama would raise taxes on households earning more than $250,000 a year and further raise taxes on those making more than $1 million.
? Obama supports abortion choice and gay marriage. "Mine will be a pro-life presidency," says the anti-abortion rights Romney, who also opposes gay marriage.
? Obama favors easing immigration restrictions and won't deport illegal immigrants brought here as children. Romney takes a tough stance against undocumented workers, even suggesting "self-deportation." However, he won't say whether he'd rescind Obama's decision on illegal immigrants who came as children.
? Romney would give oil and coal production more emphasis and approve the Keystone XL pipeline to bring oil from Canada to U.S. Gulf Coast ports. Obama says that, for now, the nation should tap "all of the above" energy sources while moving toward renewable and other "green" energy. He would strengthen regulation of global-warming-producing greenhouse gases and has so far blocked the Keystone pipeline. Romney says, "We don't know what is causing climate change."
? Obama has welcomed easy-money policies of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to stimulate lending and protect the nation's banking system. Romney says he'd ditch Bernanke when his term expires in 2014.
? Romney charges Obama isn't tough enough on China, too accommodating to Iran and an unreliable ally of Israel. He'd review steps Obama took on Israel and "do the opposite."
? Obama is forging ahead to implement his health care law now that the Supreme Court has upheld it. Romney would begin steps to repeal it on "Day One," even though it's modeled on the Massachusetts plan he championed as governor.
While the rivals point fingers at one another over who's out of touch with ordinary Americans, both campaigns agree the economy is the top issue.
Obama lately has sought to focus attention on tax inequity, Romney points to lame job growth on the president's watch.
Romney governed Massachusetts as a political moderate and reached across the aisle to majority-party Democrats. Some analysts suggest he may again govern from the middle if elected.
But so far Romney hasn't strayed much from conservative dogma, while Obama has abandoned serious efforts to cut deals with Republicans.
If Romney really is a moderate at heart, "he hasn't made it any easier for himself in the campaign so far," said William Galston, a top domestic policy adviser to then-President Bill Clinton.
GOP consultant Rich Galen suggests the sharp Obama-Romney divide reflects divisions across America but more immediately echoes the harsh, unforgiving partisan rhetoric in Congress.
"It's becoming much more like the British system where, no matter what the government does, the opposition hates it. It's never a good idea," Galen said. "I'm not sure it's the best possible course for our republic."
Romney survived a brutal GOP primary season only by repeatedly fending off charges by rivals from his own party that he was too moderate. And Obama moved closer to his Democratic base as the recovery slowed and as Republicans made his defeat a top priority.
Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute said Romney may have been permanently altered by the rings of fire he had to jump through to prove he was conservative enough to carry the GOP banner.
"If you take only the public statements and the promises that have been made, the choice is a stark one," Ornstein said, "starker than we've seen before."

MILAN (AP) ? Doctors are preparing an emergency one-off stem cell treatment for 2-year-old Venetian girl suffering a severe muscular disease after a judge revoked an order blocking the cure.
Brescia hospital officials said Thursday the treatment for Celeste Carrer would begin within days. Carrer suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, which has a life expectancy of about two years. Her family reported marked improvement after beginning the experimental treatment this winter.
But the stem cell lab was shut down in May after Italy's drug agency determined it was not hygienic and had violated procedures. A judge in Venice has allowed one treatment pending a final ruling, expected next week, on the family's appeal.
Besides reactivating the lab, doctors must determine if the stem cells from the girl's mother remain viable.
