That's because you can't actually use iCloud as an iDisk.

Apple did finally add remote access to Time Capsules to iCloud, which resolved my main complaint about it. Of course, that's only useful if you have a Time Capsule. Others have turned to Dropbox to compensate for the demise of the iDisk.

I don't find the workaround entirely satisfactory. WIll continue to use Dropbox (free) to store docs and share them as needed. It's limitation (compared with the iDisk features) is that there is no Gallery. My workaround for Galleries is to use either Picasa or Gallery3 (for personal or business uses, respectively). I am getting set for the total demise of iDisk, sadly, and not looking further back than needed.
Does anyone know what the space limitation of the workaround mentioned is? And if not storing on the Cloud where you are storing the info? That seems a bit unclear. If it doesn't store on iCloud it's probably not on the cloud, which means it's not backed up.

This is not great, but I use one workaround by making a favorite folder:
/Users/[username]/Library/Mobile Documents
Basically I use this for GoodReader and Dropbox or Insunc (for Google Docs) for everything else.
It continues to surprise me that Apple is NOT trying to make money in this space.

That's disingenuous, free Dropbox has a 2G limit, if (as many do) you want to store video/audio/photo files up there 2G will not be enough, so Dropbox will not be free.

Seems like this thread has been bumped. I updated my Mac to Mountain Lion, which is great, no issues yet.
I like iCloud, and it's really cool, particularly with iWork. iCloud Mail is just annoying when you already have each account setup. Notes and Reminders need a bit of work.
I will say this, is that I still think it's bad to RELY on iCloud for anything. You should ALWAYS have a physical backup of anything you find important. I just feel like I could wake up one morning, and all of my spreadsheets and docs are gone because either the Cloud is down, I don't have wi-fi, or someone stole my iDevice, wiping out my iCloud storage.

I believe having Matt Shaughnessy last year would have been enough to get the Raiders into the playoffs. He has a motor that just wont quit and when he went down it was a major blow to an already struggling defense. When Oakland lost Matt they lost their best run stopper and possibly their best pass rusher. He is an all around athletic beast that was on his way to an outstanding season before it was cut ridiculously short in just Week 3 vs the Jets.
Now comes another year and a whole new world for Mr. ShaughNASTY. I just hope he can return to form after a devastating shoulder injury. He could be a major X factor in the new defense that is to be unleashed. He is a perfect fit for a hybrid defense because he is capable of playing both DE in a 4-3 and OLB in a 3-4. He is going to be given every opportunity to succeed in the Raiders new defense, hopefully he comes back physically able to cash in on his chances.
The good news to me is that the injury he went through was up top instead of down low. A knee injury to him I think would have been much worse for his chances at recovery. He relies on his first step and intelligence more than his strength. His quickness and decision making are what makes him a different type of player than the rest of the defensive line. Most of their DL is built on brute strength instead of the quick feisty attitude that Matt brings to the table.
His toughness is easy to see and his resilience has already been shown this offseason. There was the possibility that he was not going to be ready until training camp but he was able to be a full participant in mini camps back in June. That was a huge milestone for a player that hadn't been able to practice with his team for 9 months. It also was very important considering the massive scheme changes happening for the Oakland Raider defense under Dennis Allen. There was a strong probability that he would be behind come training camp, but instead he has been able to be there right along with everybody else learning the new defense.
Matt Shaughnessy is a major part of the Raiders defense and it is going to be very nice to have him back on the field. He is only 25 years old and has the whole prime of his career ahead of him. This year has the chance to really put him on the map in the world of the NFL. He was on his way to establishing himself as a top young talent before his shoulder injury. I am certain now that he is healthy again that he will get right back on track to establishing his dominance around the league.
His contract is coming up in the near future and he is one player that needs to stay wearing the Raiders' historic colors. If he plays like he is capable of he is going to cash in big time and the Raiders should not have a problem paying a single cent of whatever that salary is. He is going to be an integral part of what the Raiders do on defense this year.

Creme Brulee
Day before should be fine, except obviously you're going to brulé the sugar right before serving.
I'm not sure what a stirred creme is, is it a stirred (cooked stove top) creme brulée, as in not baked? If so, here's a recipe:
Crema Catalana
2 cups whole milk
1 cinnamon stick, optional
1 lemon rind, optional or use orange rind or not
1 tsp pure vanilla extract, or more to taste
4 egg yolks
1 tbsp cornstarch
3/4 cup sugar
In a pot, bring milk, cinnamon stick, and lemon rind to a boil. Simmer for several minutes then strain and discard cinnamon stick and lemon rind.
In bowl, whisk egg yolks, cornstarch, and sugar together.
Add small amount of hot milk mixture in with egg mixture and whisk to combine. Add tempered egg mixture to milk mixture on stove and cook--stirring continuously--until thickened.
Stir in vanilla. Pour into ramekins and chill for a minimum of four hours.
Just before serving brulé as per creme brulée.
You can make this with heavy cream (35% butterfat) instead of milk and, if so, add an extra egg yolk and skip the cornstarch.
How are you going to brulee the top when the custard is inside a chocolate box? Isn't it going to melt?
re: Nyleve
re: reets
Have you actually done this before? I can't imagine how the chocolate won't melt. The melted sugar gets so hot that it will almost certainly radiate out toward the edges. When you consider that chocolate melts at body temperature, I just don't see this working. I don't want to be a party pooper here - and maybe I'm wrong - but if you're planning this for a special dinner party, I suggest you do a trial run first.
The other possibility would be to sprinkle the top of the custard with finely chopped caramelized sugar instead. You'll get a similar flavour pairing, but without the potentially ruined container. I know it's not exactly the same, but if you're set on this idea, it's a compromise.
re: Nyleve
re: bushwickgirl
re: Ideefixed
But it's caramelized sugar, nothing wrong with that. A nice crackle of caramelized sugar atop the creme and chocolate is a very nice combo, imo. The OP is not going to be able to exactly reproduce creme brulée given the style of presentation he/she wants to attain, as there will very well be a chocolate melting issue, but sometimes you have to modify the technique a bit to get the results you want.
Anyway, I hope the OP gets the results desired and posts the outcome.
re: reets
re: Whats_For_Dinner
Seriously - try to imagine this working. If the chocolate container were, for example, 8-inches in diameter - maybe you could stay far enough away from it to keep it from melting while you torched the sugar. And even then, you would have to allow a wide margin of un-melted sugar to keep the heat away from the edges. I just don't see it.
Ok, maybe if you could prepare this in an extreme sub-zero environment - like the dark side of the moon. Maybe - maybe it might work. But then the custard would be frozen solid too so, nah I don't think so.
Here's my recipe: http://indirectheat.blogspot.com/2009...
I generally make it up to two days in advance, covered with saran in the fridge. It's pretty easy to make, just be mindful of the places you can screw up - 1) Curdling the custard. 2) Burning the sugar. Both are easily solved. If you curdle the custard, you can cheat it into the blender. And when you're melting the sugar, brush the flame across the sugar rapidly so as to melt the sugar, not set it on fire.
Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking, vol. 1 gives a recipe for a stove top creme brulee, which is just a variation of creme anglaise. (I'd use real vanilla beans to make it extra special.) You can do that and make the caramel crust right before serving. I'm not sure how long you can keep it, but I wouldn't go for more than three days.
Maybe for the caramel top, you can sprinkle an even layer of sugar onto parchment paper, blowtorch that into a small caramel puddle, trim to size if needed, and carefully lift it off with a small spatula and place it onto the boxed custard?
Or heck, just make caramel as usual on the stovetop and drizzle threads of it onto parchment into nice swirly shapes and use it to garnish the custard, or drizzle the caramel directly onto the custard if your aim is good.
Interested to know how this turned out!
Chocolate boxes! Where did you get your molds? I cannot find them anywhere.

In what was equal parts pep rally and group hug, Schools Superintendent Daniel Simon addressed hundreds of district teachers, administrators, bus drivers and support staff Tuesday to kick off the new school year.
All district employees were bussed into the high school for a "Welcome Back" session hosted by the new superintendent – the first time such an event had been held in more than a decade, Simon said.
Although the first day for students is Wednesday, teachers reported to work Tuesday.
Simon, who seemed intent on recognizing everyone in the packed high school gymnasium by name during the hour-long assembly, thanked scads of teachers, custodians, union officials and paraprofessionals for a variety of accomplishments or contributions to the upcoming school year.
recognized both personal and professional accomplishments of district employees from last year's teachers of the year to those employees who had gotten engaged, married or had children in the past year. Each mention of a name garnered applause from the crowd.
"A really good vibe for this year,'' Simon said prior to the assembly. "We've got a really good energy.''
Wall Township Education Association President Bill Chiesi also addressed the crowd, expressing hope and anticipation for the upcoming year, as did Curriculum Director MaryJane Garibay and technology Director Jeff Janover.
Ending the assembly with a few ABCs of his own, Simon listed "Accountibility,'' "Boldness,'' "Collaboration,'' "Dedication,'' "Effort'' and "Focus,'' as the top priorities for all employees as they embark on a new school year.

Topic 2 – The Role of the Teacher Librarian – Part 1
Lyn Hay asked us in Topic 2 "Is the teacher librarian primarily a teacher, a librarian, a manager, an expert in children's literature, a cataloguer, an information technology expert, staff developer, an information leader, a combination of these, or something quite different?" I was surprised to find that, despite the fact I'm preparing to step into a TL role, I have never properly considered what the role of a TL is. My first thoughts are that a TL reads fiction texts to be able to make informed recommendations to students, has an organised and easily accessible range of relevant and up to date resources for staff and students to aid in the delivery and reception of the curriculum, and provide a spaces for effective learning for both classes and individuals.
I looked through the Australian School Library Association website as suggested to expand my understanding of the TL role, a role that is constantly being redefined. The major foci of the role were:
- Qualifications – both initial qualifications and ongoing professional development (as a teacher and a librarian).
- Information - provision and management of, student literacy in. (Required comprehensive understanding of ICTs.
- Active role in curriculum as a teacher – knowledge of, planning, implementation of, evaluation of.
- Having "qualified technical and clerical staff". (Yay!)
- TL administration – policies, procedures, database management, cataloguing, budgeting, etc.
- Creation of "an information-rich learning environment which supports the needs of the school community."
- Collaboration – with teachers, students, administration.
There was a lot more depth and subtle nuances of the above, but they seemed to be the main points. I did find it interesting on the first page the seeming interchangeability of "school library" and "information services centre". It appears to be an attempt to modernise the role of the TL and increase the perception of their importance through the use of euphemism. As secretary is to executive assistant, so teacher librarian is to information services manager. To be fair though, the second term shifts emphasis away from the notion of books to a broad range of ICTs.
I had a look at some of the other suggested role statements. I liked the School Library Association of South Australia's because of the simple and practical way it was laid out, and the user friendly style of language. It does, however, need updating. Eg it refers to SACSA still! The International Association of School Librarianship's role statement was interesting, but often vague and focusing on issues that are not locally relevant for me. I had a similar experience with the UNESCO School Library Manifesto. I also found some of the role descriptors too simplistic and much preferred the academic nature of ASLA's descriptors.
The poster was fun, but I did have a few concerns. Primarily a) there's too much writing on the poster so no one (other than the TL) is like to read it and b) it puts too much emphasis on what the TL has to do rather than see the TL as a facilitator to helping staff teach their students those skills. If too many responsibilities are put on a TL they will only be able to do a lot of things well instead of some things excellently. For example I don't believe it is the job of the TL to teach students "TO DEVELOP A THESIS, TO TAKE A STAND". I believe it is the subject teacher's job, and the TL's job to support that teacher when necessary. (Which shows that looking at these resources has helped me define my perception of the TL role.)
I watched the YouTube video titled The 21st Century Media Center Program. I did find it difficult to take seriously as the graphics and music were from the 20th century, and most of the participants were woodenly reading from scripts. I found it interesting they had introduced the term 'media', calling libraries School Media Centres and TLs Certified Library Media Specialists (which Lyn explained is a US term). As I teach Media Studies, I associate Media with creative media, but I understand they are trying to achieve an emphasis on non print materials. It is similar to ASLA's "information services centre".
Key foci in this video of the role of the TL were:
- Collaboration, or partnerships, with teachers on classroom projects (particularly inquire based projects.
- Helping students become effective library users and researchers.
- Knowing available resources and passing that knowledge on to students and teachers.
- TL needs to be adequately supported, and the library adequately funded.
Again, I did get a sense too much responsibility was being placed on the TL. For example the issue of safe use of the computer and internet. At my school cybersafety is covered by classroom teachers in the curriculum subject Information Technology, which I believe is sensible. The TL cannot be solely responsibility for the cybersafety of all students at the school unless it is a tiny school.
The Role Of The TL – A Run Down Of The Readings
Herring, 2007
Purcell, 2010
Lamb, 2011
|Herring asserted school libraries must dispel the notion they are resource centres and be seen as learning centres. He stated reading for pleasure "is given unnecessary prominence in some school library mission statements."
A teacher librarian. Can/should:
Libraries should be:
Purcell believes libraries need to transform from warehouses for books and equipment into the hub of the school's learning community, and that it's the job of the TL to keep the "hub" functioning. She emphasised nonprint materials and the instructional and collaborative roles of the staff as well as the expanding role that technology plays in the location of information.
Teacher – "media specialists must instruct teachers on the best strategies for teaching students how to use information and technology in the classroom."
Program administrator – "responsible for the acquisition, organization, storage, distribution, retrieval, maintenance, administration, and evaluation of a large quantity of materials and equipment."
Leader – "work with parents, students, and teachers from every department and grade level to make decisions in selecting, previewing, purchasing, and utilizing any new technology and resources."
Instructional Partner – "participates in curriculum design and assessment, helps teachers develop instructional activities, provides expertise in materials and technology, and translates curricular needs into library media program goals and objectives."
Information Specialist – "assists administrators, teachers, parents, students, and others to acquire and evaluate information resources in all formats."
"School media specialists must be teachers, leaders, and advocates for reading, inquiry, and learning. Partnering with classroom teachers, they must design and implement curriculum and instruction that … requires thinking, inquiry, problem- solving and ethical behaviour." Lamb asserted that TLs need to be innovative communicators and collaborators, as their qualifications (knowledge) is not enough.
Administration – "from writing policies and procedures to managing personnel and writing grants, the media specialist must understand the daily operations of a school library and the impact of these programs on … students."
Learning – "The world is constantly changing and media specialists must acquire new knowledge, update their skills, and adjust their attitudes."
Electronic Information – "know how to access, evaluate, organize, and use information … the media specialist must understand information." In all formats!
Technology – "know how to apply technology to solve problems, acquire information, and create products.
Teaching – "know how to assess students, design instruction, and teach both children and adult learners … understand curriculum design and instructional development."
Environments – "know how to use both physical and virtual spaces to support the needs of students and teachers.
"School media specialists must have the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and dispositions to turn this potential into reality."
I couldn't begin to summarise Joyce Valenza's revised manifesto on what a 21st century TL should do. All of it is already succinctly summarised, all of it is practical, and all of it seemed impressive. As stated in an earlier blog, I felt inundated by the great volume of amazing software tools available that I've never heard of, but I look forward to becoming familiar with some of them. I think what was integral to Valenza's manifesto was the state of constant change and growth the TL position is undergoing, and will undergo.
Having examined these four differing perspectives on the role of the TL, I found Lamb's and Valenza's resonated with me, mainly because they focus on TL as facilitator. With Lamb I particularly liked how she brought points back to student learning being the integral focus of all aspects of the TLs role. I was particularly taken by her idea of working with one teacher / one faculty at a time to develop specific resources for staff and students. With Valenza I was inspired by her infusion of dynamic energy into the role of the TL. To be as proactive as Lamb and Valenza TLs could give up some of the program administrator tasks described by Purcell through delegation to student volunteers, efficient practise, and relying less on print materials.
100 word 'take home message' summary of five leaders on, "Are school librarians an endangered species?
Overwhelmingly, no. School librarians are not an endangered species. They are vital and necessary because they aid students in navigating complex information landscapes. This involves being information literacy leaders (even experts) in school communities, aiding everyone in the school community to find, evaluate and use information for learning, and making students critical users of information and ideas. To avoid becoming extinct school librarians must remain active, redefine their role as coaches and facilitators, and make sure everyone knows how essential they are to a thriving school. It is school librarians who are key to preparing students for 21st century citizenship.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - The installation of new turf at Milan Puskar Stadium is complete -- in plenty of time for the opening of West Virginia University's football season.
The new synthetic surface is called FieldTurf Duraspine, which is engineered to replicate the best things about natural grass with just a fraction of the maintenance required for the real thing.
Mountaineer coach Rich Rodriguez says it's the best surface out there.
The turf was installed by Ballard Sports of Cary, North Carolina, at a cost of just over 901-thousand dollars.
Fall camp for the Mountaineers opens on August Fourth and the season opener against Western Michigan is Saturday, September First, in Morgantown.

In case you haven't noticed, I am a HUGE animal lover!! My husband and I are owned by 2 pugs and because of them, I have become more involved in educating myself and others about being owned by dogs. :) I follow Dana Cubbage Photography on Facebook (I LOVE her work & all that she does for the animals) and today she posted about a good cause she is joining and after reading it, I've decided I'm going to take part in it as well. It's easy to do, it helps the animals and doesn't take much to help all those animals out there that need us. It was started by Serena of Pretty Fluffy and I think it's a great idea!!
So, what is it you ask? It's a campaign to help make a difference. Many times people think that they can't make a difference. $5.00 won't help the rescue that just helped save a dogs life, a little bag of dog food won't get far, re-posting a picture of a dog up for adoption won't be seen by anyone. Well, guess what…IT DOES HELP!! Every little bit helps. There are only 13 weeks left in the year so this campaign was put together to do 13 things for animals in the last 13 weeks we have left in this year before we reach 2013. Pretty neat huh? It doesn't have to be 13 things either. Even if you only come up with one thing to do, you are helping the animals and everyone can do something to help out. We can all be each others supporters and cheerleaders for each other to get our list done before the end of the year. So, what do you think? Want to join me? Share The 13 Project on your Facebook page, Twitter, your blog…however you want to share it is up to you. But, how ever you do it, THANK YOU for helping make a difference!!
Here's my list:
1. Contact Pug Rescue to see about photographing pugs available for adoption so they can share on their Facebook page and Rescue website.
2. Blog and post on my Facebook page the animals I photograph that are up for adoption.
3. Educate and share the importance of spaying or neutering pets.
4. Go through all the closets in my house and donate any towels, blankets, sheets, etc that we no longer use anymore and donate them to a local rescue group.
5. Donate more often to the rescue groups to help those animals that have just had an expensive surgery or procedure done. Every little bit helps!
6. Buy items on sale at the grocery store and donate them to the local animal rescue. Such as laundry detergent, treats, etc.
7. Share, promote and educate the importance of rescue groups and all they do, why they are there and how they help.
8. Share my knowledge on good health and ownership of pets.
9. Continue to sign petitions that helps animals have and live better lives.
10. Share animals that need urgent foster care on my Facebook page.
11. Attend the SPCA walk in October.
12. Contact other rescue groups in the area to see if they would like me to photograph animals in foster care.
13. Share with others about The 13 Project.
Sounds pretty simple, don't you think? Come join me in this great cause and share with others.
Happy Tuesday!!

HOBOKEN, N.J. - March 8, 2008 – Preseason All-American Jake Beebe's go-ahead goal with just 36 seconds remaining in regulation capped off a sensational comeback by the Springfield College men's lacrosse team at Stevens Tech on Saturday afternoon. Trailing 9-1 with 11:07 remaining in the third quarter, the Pride's defense held the Ducks without a goal over the final 26:07 of the game and netted nine unanswered goals as it claimed a 10-9 victory.
The win improves the Pride to 2-2 this season while Stevens Tech falls to 1-2.
Chris Jez was the difference down the stretch as he dominated the "X" when it counted, winning all eight face-offs in the fourth quarter. The senior finished winning 13-of-23 face-offs in the game, going 10-for-13 in the second half. He also scooped up a game-high eight ground balls.
Stevens broke a scoreless tie midway through the first quarter when junior midfielder Eric Smith found the back of the net off a feed from junior midfielder Matt Keating. On the ensuing faceoff, sophomore midfielder Bobby Steinhauser won the draw, raced down the middle of the field, and found senior attacker John Dolny for a goal.
After Springfield scored to close to within 2-1, the Ducks rattled off seven consecutive goals to open a 9-1 lead. Sophomore attacker Josh Holmes and Dolny combined for four goals during that stretch for Stevens, which led 7-1 at halftime. The Ducks also received goals from sophomore attacker Daniel Prakopcyk, senior midfielder Frank Sorrentino, and junior midfielder Jaeke Donahue during that run.
After Dolny found the back of the cage with 11:07 remaining in the third quarter, the Ducks would be held scoreless the rest of the way. Springfield, which had managed just one goal at the 7:04 mark in the first quarter off a man-up tally from Tyler Montgomery, was outscored 5-0 in the second quarter.
Montgomery sparked the Pride's comeback after he completed his hat trick, netting a pair of unassisted goals 2:48 apart in the third quarter. Heading into the fourth quarter, the Pride trailed 9-3 but went on to net seven goals in the fourth stanza.
After Jez won his first of eight face-offs in the fourth, Beebe connected with Greg Welch nine seconds into the fourth quarter. 34 seconds later, Welch returned the favor as he recorded an assist on a goal by Jake Jones with 14:17 remaining.
An unassisted tally by Joe Macchi at the 11:07 mark made the score 9-6 before Welch connected with Beebe at the 4:34 mark. Off another Jez face-off win, the Pride's Kyle Gable found the back of the cage 35 seconds later to bring the Pride within one. With 2:35 remaining in the game, Springfield knotted the game at nine goals apiece after Montgomery fed Jones for his second goal of the game.
Beebe completed the improbable comeback with his second goal with just 36 seconds remaining. The Ducks did have one final chance to send the game to overtime, but Daniel Prakopcyk's shot went wide as time expired.
Montgomery finished with three goals and an assist while Beebe added two goals and two assists. Welch recorded three points off a goal and two helpers. Chris Sharpe picked up five ground balls in the win and goalie Tom Albano made eight stops in the cage. Springfield held a 40-33 edge in shots, including a 10-2 advantage in the decisive fourth quarter.
The Pride return to Stagg Field for its first night game of the 2008 campaign when it welcomes Amherst on Wednesday night for a 7:00 pm face-off.

The Riviera by Buick is America's bid for a great new international classic car
And these vintage advertisements are the proof
Buick had used the name "Riviera" to denote its trailblazing hardtop as far back as 1949, but it emerged as a standalone model in late 1962. The car's performance was as good as its looks -- which were apparently so good that Buick felt the best way to sell them was by partially obscuring them in advertisements.
Like the one below, which is a prime example of the time-tested "Positioning Things in Front of Your Product" school of salesmanship.
Here, we see a man as he contemplates whether or not he can handle the Nailhead V8-powered beauty before him. The copy asks, "Should you have a pilot's license before you buy a Riviera?"
No, you dingus! It's a car!-- but the Man of Taste, the Riviera Man, already knows that not even those 325 horses are going to be enough to get this 2-ton wingless wonder off the ground.
Besides, requiring that all would-be Riviera owners undergo flight training would cut into the number of prospective buyers, which would cut into Buick's bottom line, which means fewer expensed three-martini lunches for the brass. So we're glad Buick cleared up this little misconception.
But Rivieras are not just for men. The budget-conscious Lady of Distinction, the Riviera Woman, knows that the Buick's "quiet elegance" comes at "less than half the price of an imported car of comparable quality."
Yes, the Riviera is "America's bid for a great new international classic car." And if these advertisements can be believed -- and why would we doubt them? -- the Riviera's odds of claiming that title are good.

Much of the data published by some of the candidates for Wake County school board are misinterpreted and in many cases completely wrong.
To be accurately informed, voters can do some research on their own. A good source for accurate data is www.ncreportcards.org. I encourage voters to compare the data for Wake, Mecklenburg, Forsyth, Durham and Guilford counties. The bottom line is that Wake outperforms all comparable systems and does it for less money per pupil.
The majority of voters have no children attending public schools. Isn't our current cost-effective policy what best serves their interests? Is it fair to them to convert to a neighborhood school policy that has been proven in Charlotte to be more expensive and less effective? In 2007-08 Charlotte spent $478 more per pupil. Funding Wake County's nearly 140,000 students at that level would cost taxpayers an additional $66 million per year and for what? Lower achievement?
Fiscal conservatives should beware of not supporting candidates who favor the most cost-effective approach to education. To get the best value for your tax dollar vote, for Rita Rakestraw, Horace Tart, Karen Simon and Lois Nixon.

Easter weekend a movie star dropped his lethal weapon and reached out to children and adults across Mississippi. He has starred in blockbusters like Lethal Weapon, Dream Girls and the Color Purple. Friday actor Danny Glover shined in his role as a motivational speaker and humanitarian in Jackson.
More than a hundred children and their parents lined up outside WMPR's studios Friday afternoon for free Easter baskets, courtesy of the radio station.
"They have candy and toys and Pastor Terry Moore donated prayer booklets, (that reveals) what is the meaning of Easter. I think it gives the kids incentive to let them know somebody cares," said Wanda Evers Ward.
The biggest treat was not the candy, but the person giving it out. Actor Danny Glover, just off a trip from Italy, traveled to Jackson to be part of the special event.
"I'm so thankful, it is so nice to give kids something new. It's a blessing," said Emma Southern.
"So much to celebrate about life, about health and wellness. We're going to talk a little about that we've been in Philadelphia, Columbus and came through Louisville," said Glover.
He was taking his message of life, health, wellness and the pursuit of equality across the state.
At E&E Blues and Jazz house the 64 year old actor shared some of his story growing up in San Francisco, California. The actor said Americans need to start investing in the future.
"We have a responsibility, beyond ourselves, beyond our own selfishness, beyond our own greed, beyond our own me, me, me to care what's going to happen to this planet and care what going to happen to these children," said Glover.
An elaborate marijuana manufacturing operation was busted in Jackson Friday night. It was discovered in an apartment complex in the Belhaven Heights neighborhood on Monroe and Moody Streets.

Development and Uses of Asymmetric Lipid Vesicles for
Erwin London, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY
Understanding Biomembrane Structure and Function
Biology and Soft Matter Division Seminar
2:00 PM — 3:00 PM, Joint Institute for Neutron Sciences (Building 8630), Room A-202
Contact: Frederick Heberle (email@example.com), 865.576.8802
AbstractThe lipid bilayer in natural biomembranes is often highly asymmetric, with very different membrane lipids in the inner and outer monolayers (leaflets). However, almost all model membrane vesicle studies have made use of lipid vesicles with a symmetric lipid composition. We have developed a robust method to prepare asymmetric vesicles with a wide variety of lipid compositions and vesicle sizes. This method is based on use of cyclodextrins to exchange outer leaflet lipids between two populations of symmetric vesicles composed of different lipids, followed by separation of the desired vesicle population. A variety of spectroscopic methods to evaluate lipid asymmetry were developed. Experiments in which lipid acyl chain and polar headgroup structure was varied demonstrated that lipid structure can strongly influence whether asymmetry is unstable or highly stable (for days). Experiments with the membrane-inserting and pore forming protein perfringolysin O were carried out to investigate whether lipid asymmetry would affect membrane protein conformation. It was found that a natural degree of lipid asymmetry stabilizes the formation of a deeply-inserted intermediate conformation that does not form pores.

Rugby may not return to AMI Stadium
ESPNscrum Staff
June 27, 2011
AMI Stadium was decommissioned in the wake of the earthquake that hit Christchurch in February © Getty Images
New Zealand Rugby Union chief executive Steve Tew has revealed that rugby may never return to the earthquake-damaged AMI Stadium in Christchurch.
The recently-renovated 45,000-capacity venue, formerly known as Lancaster Park and Jade Stadium, was ruled unfit for use following the Magnitude 6.3 tremor that hit the city in February. As a result it was stripped of its status as a Rugby World Cup venue, losing seven high-profile fixtures in the process, and Tew has admitted a timetable for rugby's return to the site is "not really known".
Asked to estimate when the Crusaders or the All Blacks may next take to the field, Tew's assessment ranged from "early next year, to a long, long time away to if ever at all".
Tew insists what happens to the ground, that opened in 1881 and hosted its first All Blacks Test in 1913, will be up to the Christchurch community and the government with re. He also revealed that the NZRU were considering re-developing Rugby Park and Rugby League Park in Christchurch and that the Crusaders must face the prospect of once again playing all their Super Rugby fixtures away from home.
The ground is being regularly assessed in the wake of a series of aftershocks and the All Blacks have provisional plans in place to stage a Test in Christchurch next year although an alternative venue is also being explored.
However, the All Blacks remain committed to using Christchurch as a training base in the build up to their crunch World Cup pool clash with France in Auckland on September 24. "We have taken stock of that with the continuing aftershocks. But the All Blacks are going there ... they remain committed to that (camp)," Tew said.

Liz Earle denies redundancies as it pulls out of expansion plan on Island
7:57am Friday 30th November 2012 in News
A MAJOR beauty company based on the Isle of Wight has denied rumours of mass redundancies after pulling out of an expansion that had promised hundreds of jobs.
Liz Earle will not be boosting its site at Ryde Business Park - a move that would have seen the creation of 500 jobs - and it is understood that around 30 staff have left the company.
However the skincare company has dismissed rumours that up to 200 jobs are at risk and that co-founder Liz Earle has left the business, despite her resignation as director.
They have insisted that she still plays an integral role within the company and confirmed that the company was carrying out a consolidation of roles as part of an organisational review, which was undergoing a 30-day consultation process.

The microorganism Escherichia coli has a long history of use in the biotechnology industry and is still the microorganism of choice for most gene cloning experiments. Although E. coli is known to the general population for the infectious nature of one particular strain (0157:H7) few people are aware of how versatile and useful E. coli is to genetic research. There are several reasons E. coli became so widely used and is still a common host for recombinant DNA.
1. Genetic Simplicity
Bacteria make useful tools for genetic research because of their relatively small genome size compared to eukaryotes. E. coli cells only have about 4,400 genes whereas the human genome project has determined that humans contain approximately 30,000 genes. Also, bacteria, including E. coli, live their entire lifetime in a haploid state, with no second allele to mask the effects of mutations during protein engineering experiments.
source: Weaver, R. and Hedrick, P. 1989. Genetics. Wm. C. Brown Publishers, Dubuque, IA, USA. Madigan, M., Martinko, J. and Parker, J. 2000. Brock Biology of Micro-organisms, 9th ed. Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, USA.

Madigan, M., Martinko, J. and Parker, J. 2000. Brock Biology of Micro-organisms, 9th ed. Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, USA.
2. Growth Rate
Bacteria typically grow much faster than more complex organisms. E. coli grows rapidly at a rate of one generation per twenty minutes under typical growth conditions. This allows for preparation of log-phase (mid-way to maximum density) cultures overnight and genetic experimental results in mere hours instead of several days, months or years. Faster growth also means better production rates when cultures are used in scaled up fermentation processes.
3. Safety
E. coli is naturally found in the intestinal tracts of humans and animals where it helps provide nutrients (vitamins K and B12) to its host. There are many different strains of E. coli that may produce toxins or cause varying levels of infection if injested or allowed to invade other parts of the body. Despite the bad reputation of one particularly toxic strain (O157:H7), E. coli are generally relatively inocuous if handled with reasonable hygiene.
4. Conjugation and the Genome Sequence
The E. coli genome was the first to be completely sequenced. Genetic mapping in E. coli was made possible by the discovery of conjugation. E. coli is the most highly studied microorganism and an advanced knowledge of its protein expression mechanisms makes it simpler to use for experiments where expression of foreign proteins and selection of recombinants is essential.
Weaver, R. and Hedrick, P. 1989. Genetics. Wm. C. Brown Publishers, Dubuque, IA, USA.
5. Ability to Host Foreign DNA
Most gene cloning techniques were developed using this bacterium and are still more successful or effective in E. coli than in other microorganisms. E. coli is readily transformed with plasmids and other vectors, easily undergoes transduction, and preparation of competent cells (cells that will take up foreign DNA) is not complicated. Transformations with other microorganisms are often less successful.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
Derrick Days began with a few scattered events and grew over the course of a quarter century into a community-wide effort. And the events of two weeks ago are only increasing that community feeling.
More cash donations have come into the festival, a generous salve considering the event's coffers were drained by a thief, an amount estimated at about $27,000. In addition, people have been volunteering to help, which goes a long way towards restoring that faith in fellow man that the festival is partly about.
Chuck Williams, owner of the local Subway Sandwich shops has stepped up to offer a Derrick Days Day at Subway. On April 10, a portion of all sales from any of the three local Subway shops will go towards the festival. In addition, he's donating cookies to the Derrick Days booth, so anyone donating money to the cause will get something sweet in return.
"I just thought that was really, really nice," said Fran Townes, chairman of the event at Tuesday's regular Derrick Days meeting.
Larry Morrison at McKee's is donating cinderblocks and rope, to aid in construction of the event's tents. Texas Media Properties (which has the big electronic sign out by the I-45 Collin Street Bakery) has given the festival some free ad space on the billboard. Young people from the Navarro College volleyball team, the band and the football team, have offered to help man booths, park cars, march in the parade, and clean up at the Oil Baron's Ball.
The Mildred drama department, specifically, the one-act play students, have offered to do a benefit performance of the play to help raise money. Townes said she might be able to arrange for a Wednesday performance, since the Palace is booked for the actual day of Derrick Days.
Essentially, people giving what they can to make the event come together, despite the obstacles.
These gestures will blend in with the other events that have grown over the years, such as the chili cook-off and the car show, the hot dog kick-off luncheon, and Mystery Art show and sale on Thursday.
Derrick Days will take place April 27 in downtown Corsicana. It will feature for the first time an Oil Baron's Ball on April 26, and for the second time a Biker Bash on Saturday.
Tickets are still available for the Ball, booths are available for the vendors market, but slots for the chili cook-off are filled. For more information or to buy tickets to the ball, call VOICE at (903) 872-0180. Vendors booths can be booked online at www.derrickdays.com.

Course Overview / Details
Biotechnology is a large scientific field that uses research tools from chemistry and biology to study or solve problems, including human disease. Biotechnologies may be used to study the genetic material of viruses and bacteria to determine whether a disease is caused by particular disease-producing agents. Its techniques are also used to understand how genetic factors contribute to human disease. The information gathered in research can be used to develop diagnostic tests that enable speedy detection and identification of a disease so that an appropriate treatment can be developed. It can also help doctors screen their patients' genomes (all of an organism's genes) for existing diseases or a predisposition for diseases such as cancer.
The standards for the Biotechnology Research and Development Pathway and related courses apply to occupations and functions in biotechnology research and development that apply primarily to human health. The standards specify the knowledge and skills common to occupations in this pathway. Students participating in a strong, industy-driven Biotechnology program can expect to conduct research using bioinformatics theory and methods in areas such as pharmaceuticals, medical technology, biotechnology, computational biology, proteomics, computer information science, biology and medical informatics. Additionally, students may use extended technologies to design databases and develop algorithms for processing and analyzing genomic information, or other biological information pertinent to this field.

It is the fundamental truth of life: We ARE what we eat.
Our physical growth, our health, our immunity, our very survival depends on it.
Unfortunately, we have already poisoned the very well of life we drink from (our environment), with excessive use of toxic chemical products.
And today, as we stand face to face with dangerous levels of environmental degradation and ecocidal repercussions, there is a critical need to reverse this vicious cycle.
We must begin with the Soil – the basic platform of all human food sources on land. (Concurrently, we need to purify the other food source platform – the Sea – too, by regulating effluent infusions into it).
A well-nurtured, healthy Soil enables environment-friendly, healthy agriculture, sustainable across future centuries. It ensures the safety and good health of human generations that live off it.
In this expedient battle to regain the purity of our Soil, Organic Fertilizers and high-quality Bio Fertilizers play momentous roles.
The NOF Group of Companies (National Organic Fertilizer & Narmada Bio-Chem Pvt Ltd) is a quality-driven corporate entity that stands out in this field, by their futuristic eco-consciousness and relentless defence of the environment.
What is more, the NOF Group also prides itself in playing the role a friend, philosopher and benefactor of the farmer – especially relevant in a traditionally agrarian nation such as India. Through enabling high quality farming fields sustainable across years, the Group seeks to realize its corporate axiom–
"Healthy Soil Makes A Farmer Wealthy".
Our Product Ranges are as follows:
- Bio Gold - Organic Soil Conditioner (Granulated)
- Crowin - (Magnesium Sulphate)
- Shree Narmada - Organic Soil Conditioner (Powder)
- Narmada Biozyme - Organic Growth Promoter (Granulated)

Nature's Circle Farm, centered in Aroostook County, Maine, was founded in 1996 by owner and grower, Dick York. Dick grew up working on a family farm and knew instinctively that agriculture was something he always wanted to do. Dick started out growing a variety of mixed organic vegetables on just two acres of land. He and his son, Jamie, did all the work. He was aware of the importance of growing organic, and knew that this movement would soon take hold in northern Maine. Dick had a vision of increasing his product line and markets, as well as getting his own family more involved.
Dick's daughter, Meg, started doing some bookkeeping and marketing for the farm in 2004, and now co-owns the farm with her father. As business picked up, it appeared there was a growing demand for the organic vegetables, particularly potatoes which grow very well in Aroostook County soil. Nature's Circle Farm now grows potatoes, turnip, rutabaga, carrots, beets, cabbage, parsnips, squash and grain, all USDA certified organic.
We also grow double-certified organic seed potato (12 varieties). We are proud to have a wonderful crew of employees who work very hard to maintain operations and keep us functioning well. We are very pleased to be able to provide part of the nation with our organic products, and continue to hope that more and more people will begin to buy and eat organic! We welcome visitors to the farm at anytime and are located on US#2, six miles west of US#1 in Houlton at Station Road intersection. Come on out during harvest, and you can pick your own potatoes (just bring a basket!).
Our product line includes:

- Two varieties of beets (Red and Golden),

Fleischmann Happy With Cantor Help, No Worry About 'Fiction' Poll
U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor helped U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann raise about $75,000 for his 3rd District reelection campaign at a Knoxville fundraiser, reports Georgiana Vines.
...Fleischmann was asked to comment on a poll released this week by the Mayfield campaign that showed the Athens businessman was ahead at 34 percent with Fleischmann and Wamp, son of former Congressman Zach Wamp, each with 25 percent.
"My view is, this is a fiction. I'm not worried about polling. I am pleased to have Eric Cantor coming," Fleischmann said.

NORMAN, Okla. — Manti Te'o and No. 5 Notre Dame don't care whether people believe in them or not. They're just out to keep winning.
Everett Golson threw for 177 yards and plunged in for the decisive 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, Te'o bolstered his Heisman Trophy candidacy with a late interception and No. 5 Notre Dame beat No. 8 Oklahoma 30-13 on Saturday night to remain undefeated.
Despite winning their first seven games for the first time in a decade, the Fighting Irish came in as the underdogs but certainly didn't play like it. In the latest AP Top 25, Notre Dame moved up to No. 4; Oklahoma fell to No. 14.
"What we'd been hearing was a lot of people didn't think we could win this game. That kind of just added that fuel to my fire that was already burning," said Golson, who returned after sitting out last week's win against BYU because of a concussion.
"We just wanted to come out and show them that we can."
Te'o, the standout linebacker who has a penchant for causing turnovers, dove when Landry Jones' pass ricocheted off Jalen Saunders and got his gloved hands under it. Kyle Brindza tacked on his third field goal soon after, and Theo Riddick added a late touchdown run as the Fighting Irish (8-0) put it away with 20 fourth-quarter points.
"We knew what we could do. Today's no surprise," said Te'o, who has five interceptions and two fumble recoveries this season.
"We knew that if we came to work, we came into today with confidence and everybody doing their job that we would be fine. I'm glad we came out the right way."
Jones threw for 356 yards with no touchdowns for the Sooners (5-2), who were still clinging to hope they could get back in the national title race before the loss. Saunders caught 15 passes for 181 yards in just his third game with the team.

Times West Virginian
To date, this has become a basketball season to forget, yet coach Bob Huggins wants his young team to remember it as it heads into its final non-conference encounter at 3 p.m. today in Charleston against William & Mary.
The game can be seen on Root Sports Television.
The Mountaineers have won but seven of 12 non-conference games without managing to put a significant victory together. Close games have slipped through their fingers and rallies from back have fallen just short, toying with their emotions.
But looking coldly at it, they have not defeated a team with RPI of better than 200 and, should they beat a 6-4 William & Mary, it will go down as their most significant victory as the Tribe ranks No. 216.
Many coaches, given a situation such as this, coming back from Christmas break and with only one game separating their team from a two-month run of conference games, would try to convince their team to wipe the slate clean and start over again.
It was a ploy Dana Holgorsen used with his struggling football team, going so far as to wipe clean the board that listed goals by each game and how they had fared.
"We are starting over," Holgorsen said when the blank board was brought up during his Tuesday media briefing. "We have four games left so it's a new season. That's what our message was Sunday. We have to keep fighting and keep battling, stay united, keep practicing and keep improving."
It was a ploy that did not work, WVU winning but one of its final four games, including losses to Kansas and Iowa State, the two bottom feeders in the Big 12.
Huggins' approach is different. He isn't looking to clean the slate and start over.
"I would argue it started like 12 games ago," Huggins said. "I think you learn from the past. I'm a big believer in history. We are going to continue to learn from all the things we didn't do well and the reasons we didn't win the games that we maybe coulda, shoulda won.
"If you don't learn from that, you probably aren't going to learn. In all honesty, if we don't learn from that, we probably got the wrong guys."
The biggest lesson Huggins wants to get across is that his team has play defense and rebound, that it must stop drives to the basket that have resulted in far too many layups and that it must find a way to get on the backboards.
The latter assignment will fall on freshman Brandon Watkins, whose playing time is expected to increase after consecutive strong games against Marshall and Purdue. Teaming with fellow freshman Devin Williams, the team's leading rebounder, could give WVU a pair of solid rebounders.
Offensively, the Mountaineers must learn from the mistakes of the last game, that being they cannot live and die with the 3-point shot.
In a narrow loss to Purdue, WVU hit but 3 of 18 shots from 3-point range, which is unacceptable.
"We can't continue to rely on shooting jump shots because, as we saw the other day, we're not going to make them all the time. We wound up being 3 for 18 the other day," he said.
"People say we lost because we were 3 for 18, but we lost because we gave up so many layups. If we had made them shoot jump shots instead of shooting layups, we probably would have won the game.
"We don't guard. We have to start to guard, and we have to start to rebound."
William & Mary is a team that normally shoots a lot of 3s itself under Coach Tony Shaver and has won four of its last five games, including a 10-point victory over Rutgers.
The Tribe has taken 223 3s in 10 games, while WVU has taken 251 in 12 games, about one more 3 a game than West Virginia.
One would not think WVU's 3-point shooting will get a boost by playing in Charleston, having hit 4 of 15 of them in the Civic Center when facing Marshall.
This is neither a home game nor a road game, being held in Charleston, although it is beginning to reach the point attendance-wise where Huggins isn't sure where he'd rather play his games.
"I don't like playing in places when there's nobody there," Huggins said Friday, continuing his push to increase attendance at the Coliseum. "Historically, at least since I've been here, the people in Charleston have shown up for the games.
"We're averaging about 3,800 no shows in Morgantown," he continued. "I've begged people, if you are not going to come, give your tickets away. I understand. You can't come to every game. But can't we give them to somebody else? I'm sure there's people who would love to come and sit in those great seats."
