Scientists develop method for home-grown meat
CTV.ca – Mar 27, 2006
and the Netherlands have to discover a method to duplicate the lab process on an industrial scale. The biggest challenge is to make the home grown meat as affordable as regular meat. Another obstacle will have to do with marketing, in light of negative labels such as “franken-food” used to describe genetically-altered edibles. However, Matheny argues that consumers are looking for already started looking for healthier alternatives such as vegetarian meats substituted with soybeans or wheat. “I think that consumers will be ready for this, they have already shown remarkable willingness to accept products of biotechnology,” Matheny said. In order for consumers to get over the idea of having a meat maker in their kitchen, it would have to taste like the real thing.

“We sell all over the United Says, but that’s mostly mail order. For a business our size, we do have a lot of stores that carry our goods, but our Web site is designed so people can purchase online and we’ve seen a lot of growth in that area,” says Samuelson. Much of the fruit they process is locally grown, but because of increased demand, some is commercially purchased. “We did plant a ton of trees out at our house,” Samuelson laughs, “but between the deer and the weather, it’s pretty tough to create an.
Beyond our athletic achievements
Jamaica Observer – Mar 27, 2006
And we dare not forget the Sunshine Girls who, though denied a medal by a point (52-53 against England), gave us goose pimples in the first round of netball competition with their last-quarter performance against the powerful Australians, clawing back a nine-point deficit to earn a tie. Even as we congratulate our competitors, let’s also recognise the coaches who, year in and year out, work tirelessly to keep our athletes on track. With the onset of professionalism in the sport, Jamaica’s track and field has undergone a quiet transformation with home-grown coaches such as Stephen Francis and Glen Mills increasingly developing and maturing home-grown talent. Undoubtedly that movement has helped to boost Jamaica’s achievements on the track in recent years. Our administrators, including the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association and the Jamaica Olympic Association, deserve our praise for remaining consistently focused and committed to the cause of Jamaican athletics despite the extreme resource inadequacies. And with the high school boys’ and girls’ championships just days away, we thank the Inter Secondary Schools Sports Association for its consistency in always providing a forum for young talent to hone their skills. Jamaica’s boys’ and girls’ championships stand as a beacon – an extraordinary example of consistency in organisation and performance.
Broadcasting: The sooner we lose analogue, the better
The Independent – Independent – Mar 27, 2006
But to succeed they need to pull in the viewers, which means producing a high-quality product. The evidence is that broadcasters and producers are already rising to this challenge. High-quality home-grown programmes, such as Casanova and The Thick of It, or quality imports such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and The West Wing, are already being brought to audiences through digital. It’s also adding value to terrestrial TV broadcasts; Doctor Who Confidential and Big Brother’s Big Mouth are good examples. And repeats have a role to play too. Thanks to our tradition of public service broadcasting we have an unrivalled heritage of ground-breaking, innovative, high-quality TV. If we can see beyond the simplistic equation of “repeats equals bad, new programmes equals good”, we can use digital to bring this heritage to new viewers.

This year the reunion will be in Detroit with about 200 people. Byrd Patterson’s folks have been doing it so long they could give lessons. Their reunion has grown from a single day’s picnic at a beachfront park catered by old-school family cooks _ meaning everything was home-baked or home-grown _ to a technologically enhanced three-day production of fun, food and information. In the early years, word was spread through letters and word-of-mouth; memories were captured on photographs. Now, letters still go out announcing the reunion. But family members can also log onto the family Web site. The souvenir booklet, complete.
