What If The Sun Just Totally Disappeared?
Holden makes debut for Sheffield Wednesday
Associated Press Sports
updated 3:37 p.m. ET March 30, 2013
SHEFFIELD, England (AP) - American midfielder Stuart Holden made his debut on loan at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, playing the opening 62 minutes before being substituted in a 2-1 victory over Barnsley in a second-tier English game.
Holden joined Wednesday from fellow League Championship side Bolton on Thursday as he looks to regain match fitness following a knee injury that required nearly two years of rehabilitation.
His last game was on Feb. 26 and he will be at Wednesday until April 24. Holden's contract at Bolton expires at the end of the season, but he has been assured of his future at the club.

Nonprofit unemployment plan doesn't change eligibility ? Business ...
Some nonprofit Minnesota em??ployers can opt into an alternative unemployment compensation plan that allows skipping quarterly unemployment taxes in exchange for reimbursing the state for any benefits paid.
Good news for those employers: The alternative plan doesn?t affect unemployment eligibility. Employees still have to show they quit for reasons attributable to their employers.
Recent case: Renee quit her job with a religious nonprofit and moved to North Dakota. She applied for unemployment benefits, arguing that even though her decision was purely voluntary, she should get the benefits because her former em??ployer opted into the alternative program.
The court tossed out her case, concluding that the same eligibility rules apply no matter which system a nonprofit opts to use. (Carlson v. The Episcopal Diocese, No. A12-0473, Court of Appeals of Minnesota, 2012)

Carole E. and John Barrowman on the Art of Word Painting and ...
Following the author?s axiom ?Write what you know,? Carole E.? and John Barrowman can point to an ever-growing list of successful publications to prove their mastery of this concept. In a short few years, the Barrowman siblings have written best-selling non-fiction with the autobiographical Anything Goes (Michael O?Mara, 2008) and I Am What I Am (Michael O?Mara, 2009).
Then there?s the Torchwood fiction, beginning with a comic book story ?Selkie?, and possibly concluding with the novel Torchwood: Exodus Code (BBC Books, 2012). Now they are working on their third young adult novel in the popular Hollow Earth series, published by Michael O?Mara Books in the UK and Simon and Schuster, under its Aladdin imprint, in the US.
John Barrowman is an all-around entertainer. He has starred in numerous West End musicals, become a much-sought BBC presenter, developed and hosted Tonight?s the Night (a television series bearing the logo of his Barrowman Barker production company), given life to one of Doctor Who?s most memorable characters?Captain Jack Harkness?and brought him to international prominence via Torchwood, and currently plays Malcolm Merlyn in the CW?s Arrow. When it comes to theater, film, or television, John thoroughly understands what it takes to attract and please an audience.
Carole E. Barrowman often expresses her creativity through teaching. She is an English professor and Director of Creative Studies in Writing at Milwaukee?s Alverno College. True to her roots as an educator, Carole by nature is a researcher and writer. In addition to writing books, she reviews them in her crime fiction column in The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and discusses her favorites once a month on television during WTJM4?s Morning Blend.
Perhaps the common denominator in their creativity is the ability to tell a good story. The Barrowmans excel in writing characters with special connections to others, whether that involves humans and otherworldly creatures or families sharing loss or laughter. Frequently their fiction takes readers and characters throughout space and time (a trick perhaps learned from the Doctor), but the stories always provide a strong link back ?home?, no matter how untraditional that home or family structure may be.
Whereas the pair generates story ideas together, Carole writes the chapters, then John provides feedback, and the story is further shaped through their collaboration. ?John and I do all the brainstorming together,? Carole elaborated, ?and I take the notes. I take about a 40-page outline away with me. I actually go back and do the physical writing involved.??
Do they ever disagree about a character or plot point? The siblings laughed. John said that everyone wants to hear stories about big blow-ups when ?we threw wine on each other,? but in truth, ?we haven?t disagreed. When Carole has written stuff and lets me read it, that?s when I?ll have comments, but I never have disagreed on anything.?
Carole quickly provided an example. ?At dinner the other night, we were sort of figuring out some final things that we want in the third book. We were thinking that this has been such a welcoming success in both books that we would like to think of more than just the trilogy. When we were thinking of how we might resolve some things in the third book, things that we really needed to talk about, John came up with a fabulous idea. We spent the rest of the dinner talking that through.
My challenge then, when I get that information, is to get the narrative to that point. That?s my part of the process, but if I get us there in a way that John and I didn?t really think about, he?s not going to care. If I alter a little bit of what an outcome will be, then he?ll just jump in and say ?if you try this? or ?let?s think about this.? We trust each other?s strengths in this collaboration, and I think that?s why it works so well.?
Inventing a World Far from Hollow
The Hollow Earth series follows the adventures of two Animare (people who can animate their drawings), Matt and Em Calder, almost-teenaged twins forced to flee London to their ancestral home on Auchinmurn Isle. There they learn more about the creatures hidden deep in Hollow Earth?and why others will want the twins to use their gift to free these mythic beings.
Whereas in the first novel, Hollow Earth sets up the mythology and outlines the dangers the twins face, the recently published The Bone Quill is a more tightly structured, faster paced story involving time travel?between the island?s present and medieval past?and providing truly scary moments. Although both books are enjoyable reads, the second novel, freed from much of the exposition necessary to the first book, soars and offers a more satisfying (and terrifying) adventure that further hooks readers into the third book. At the conclusion of a recent UK book-signing tour, I talked with the Barrowmans about their highly prolific and successful collaboration.
Early in their writing partnership, the duo produced autobiographical books focusing on John?s career in the entertainment industry. After such success with non-fiction, the shift to young adult fiction must have provided a very different kind of challenge. John admitted he found it more difficult to write children?s fiction than adult non-fiction. He and Carole agree that they will ?never talk down to young people.? Sometimes getting that blend of language just right so that adults will want to read the Hollow Earth series but younger readers can understand the terminology can be challenging.
?Carole and I wanted them to be books that adults would also read and not feel that they?re reading kids? books,? John explained, ?so it was a difficult thing for Carole to do because she had to appeal to the younger audience of the piece and the momentum and yet she had to write it in the sense that she wasn?t dumbing down [the plot] and it was also going to be interesting for adults.?
Carole added that, in The Bone Quill, ?the concepts of the Middle Ages, in particular, might not be familiar to everybody. I think we made a few conscious choices about things, like all the illuminated manuscript stuff. We tried to be accurate historically,? especially because the authors ?hoped teachers might use the book.?
John told the story of one little girl who approached the Barrowmans during a recent signing. She ?came up to us and said, ?I have a couple of questions.? She rattled off her questions, which were really good questions, but then she said, ?I don?t understand that when the monk was killed, why did you put coins on his eyes?? We like things like that, [young readers] asking those kinds of questions.
So Carole whispered in her ear, like secret stuff. In that period of time that?s what they did to pass into the afterlife. The girl read it, she thought it was kind of a weird thing, something that she didn?t get, but she was going to ask a question later, so she did. Therefore, she learned something.?
Beyond the word choice and historic accuracy, establishing an appropriate reading pace for a younger audience was another early challenge with fiction. Carole recalled that ?John and I had this idea that we wanted to have the house in Hollow Earth with the Kitten sisters as the landlords. When I was writing the draft, I wrote two pages of this wonderful backstory for the Kitten sisters, and our editor said ?Cut it. It?s lovely, but cut it.? You just can?t have that kind of excess [in a young adult novel], even though an adult might love to wander in the backstory of those characters.? John promptly summarized:? ?Kids get bored.?
Perhaps more surprising as they drafted the adventures of Matt and Em Calder is the editor?s and publishers? request: ?We want it scarier.? The Barrowmans ably complied, especially in The Bone Quill, which benefits from intriguing cliffhangers that tantalizingly dangle readers between the island?s pivotal point in history (when the creatures of Hollow Earth could be released) and the dangers of the present, as the twins struggle with their increasing powers as Animare and the disappearance of their mother. Along the way are some literally death-defying situations as characters leap between the past and the present, never knowing exactly what they will find when they land. The tag line for the first novel proclaims ?Imagination can be a dangerous thing,? and the authors deliver on this promise.
Using their imaginations is what the Barrowmans do best, and the characters often have talents beyond those of their creators. Art provides a way for the authors to interest readers into learning more about famous painters and their works, as well as serving as a clever plot device to allow characters to enter another time or place. However, John exclaimed, ?We can?t even draw!?
Appreciating art, even if they cannot paint or draw, is a gift they share with readers. Carole likes to integrate information about paintings, such as Seurat?s ?Bathers at Asni?res? into their novels. ?When John was doing Phantom of the Opera, and I was just over [from the US to London] for a visit, he would finish the matinee and, before he would start the evening performance, just around the corner, we would meet up at the National Gallery. I always was attracted to that painting, so we would meet in front of it.
When I left after a couple of weeks, John bought me a limited print of just the section of the boy in the red hat from the painting. What?s really funny is that my son Turner grew up with that painting, and he always assumed it was him. He thought he was the boy in the red hat. So when we knew that we wanted to have a big opening and establish the powers of Matt and Em right away, we just immediately said together it has to be that Seurat painting.?
Part of the appeal of writing is that it lets them explore the world from another perspective. ?As different people,? John said. ?As superheroes,? Carole added. ?I always think if I?m going to have an imaginary or fantasy life, I want to be a lot younger than I am right now,? she joked. More seriously, Carole ?gets a lot of pleasure just sitting and doing the writing about the characters in my head,? but ?from a teacher?s perspective, there really is something quite thrilling about standing in front of an audience of young children, eight-, nine-, ten-year-olds, and having them read along with us.?
The Barrowmans design their stories to be highly visual; each novel could be turned into a script, and, in fact, they have plans to produce a Hollow Earth children?s television series. Early on, John knew exactly how their stories should be told. ?The main point when we started was that you have to write this like a movie or a TV show so that we can lift it right from the book and put it on the screen, so that people will be reading it and visually picturing it on the screen.? If all goes according to plan, the Calder twins may be animating themselves onto television in the near future.

Young baseball pitchers shouldn't overdo it
Mar. 29, 2013 ? Baseball season has arrived, but no matter how eager young players are to get on the diamond they have to keep from overdoing it -- especially if they're pitchers.
Overhand pitching creates great forces, stresses and strains at both the elbow and shoulder. In most children up to age 16, bones, muscles and connective tissues are not fully developed, so it should come as no surprise that the pitching motion can lead to injury if it is performed too frequently.
"Parents may find it difficult to put limits on any activity that a child is good at and enjoys performing," said Michael T. Freehill, M.D., assistant professor of orthopedics at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. "But when it comes to pitching, the surest way to ruin a young athlete's chances of success is to allow him or her to overdo it."
Fortunately, overuse injuries are preventable. Following some basic guidelines can help young baseball pitchers stay healthy.
? Young pitchers should always warm up properly by stretching and running before throwing. Throwing should begin with easy tosses, with gradual increases in distance, then intensity.
? Youngsters should concentrate on age-appropriate pitching skills. The emphasis should be on control, accuracy and good mechanics, not curveballs and velocity.
? Tracking the number of pitches thrown is important. Staying within age-specific pitch-count limits, such as those established by Little League Baseball, is recommended.
? Proper rest periods between pitching sessions should be observed. Youngsters can still play during these rest periods, but only at positions other than pitcher and catcher.
? Children should not pitch for multiple teams with overlapping schedules or play baseball year-round.
? Children should never pitch when it hurts. They must understand that telling a parent or coach is the right thing to do if they experience discomfort while throwing.
"Following these guidelines may force a young pitcher to sit out a few innings or miss a few pitching opportunities during the season," said Freehill, who pitched in the minor leagues before attending medical school, reaching the AAA level with two different organizations and making it onto the 40-man roster of the Anaheim (now Los Angeles) Angels. "However, that's a small price to pay for keeping our kids healthy and giving them their best shot at success over the long run."

Biological transistor enables computing within living cells
Mar. 28, 2013 ? When Charles Babbage prototyped the first computing machine in the 19th century, he imagined using mechanical gears and latches to control information. ENIAC, the first modern computer developed in the 1940s, used vacuum tubes and electricity. Today, computers use transistors made from highly engineered semiconducting materials to carry out their logical operations.
And now a team of Stanford University bioengineers has taken computing beyond mechanics and electronics into the living realm of biology. In a paper to be published March 28 in Science, the team details a biological transistor made from genetic material -- DNA and RNA -- in place of gears or electrons. The team calls its biological transistor the "transcriptor."
"Transcriptors are the key component behind amplifying genetic logic -- akin to the transistor and electronics," said Jerome Bonnet, PhD, a postdoctoral scholar in bioengineering and the paper's lead author.
The creation of the transcriptor allows engineers to compute inside living cells to record, for instance, when cells have been exposed to certain external stimuli or environmental factors, or even to turn on and off cell reproduction as needed.
"Biological computers can be used to study and reprogram living systems, monitor environments and improve cellular therapeutics," said Drew Endy, PhD, assistant professor of bioengineering and the paper's senior author.
The biological computer
In electronics, a transistor controls the flow of electrons along a circuit. Similarly, in biologics, a transcriptor controls the flow of a specific protein, RNA polymerase, as it travels along a strand of DNA.
"We have repurposed a group of natural proteins, called integrases, to realize digital control over the flow of RNA polymerase along DNA, which in turn allowed us to engineer amplifying genetic logic," said Endy.
Using transcriptors, the team has created what are known in electrical engineering as logic gates that can derive true-false answers to virtually any biochemical question that might be posed within a cell.
They refer to their transcriptor-based logic gates as "Boolean Integrase Logic," or "BIL gates" for short.
Transcriptor-based gates alone do not constitute a computer, but they are the third and final component of a biological computer that could operate within individual living cells.
Despite their outward differences, all modern computers, from ENIAC to Apple, share three basic functions: storing, transmitting and performing logical operations on information.
Last year, Endy and his team made news in delivering the other two core components of a fully functional genetic computer. The first was a type of rewritable digital data storage within DNA. They also developed a mechanism for transmitting genetic information from cell to cell, a sort of biological Internet.
It all adds up to creating a computer inside a living cell.
Boole's gold
Digital logic is often referred to as "Boolean logic," after George Boole, the mathematician who proposed the system in 1854. Today, Boolean logic typically takes the form of 1s and 0s within a computer. Answer true, gate open; answer false, gate closed. Open. Closed. On. Off. 1. 0. It's that basic. But it turns out that with just these simple tools and ways of thinking you can accomplish quite a lot.
"AND" and "OR" are just two of the most basic Boolean logic gates. An "AND" gate, for instance, is "true" when both of its inputs are true -- when "a" and "b" are true. An "OR" gate, on the other hand, is true when either or both of its inputs are true.
In a biological setting, the possibilities for logic are as limitless as in electronics, Bonnet explained. "You could test whether a given cell had been exposed to any number of external stimuli -- the presence of glucose and caffeine, for instance. BIL gates would allow you to make that determination and to store that information so you could easily identify those which had been exposed and which had not," he said.
By the same token, you could tell the cell to start or stop reproducing if certain factors were present. And, by coupling BIL gates with the team's biological Internet, it is possible to communicate genetic information from cell to cell to orchestrate the behavior of a group of cells.
"The potential applications are limited only by the imagination of the researcher," said co-author Monica Ortiz, a PhD candidate in bioengineering who demonstrated autonomous cell-to-cell communication of DNA encoding various BIL gates.
Building a transcriptor
To create transcriptors and logic gates, the team used carefully calibrated combinations of enzymes -- the integrases mentioned earlier -- that control the flow of RNA polymerase along strands of DNA. If this were electronics, DNA is the wire and RNA polymerase is the electron.
"The choice of enzymes is important," Bonnet said. "We have been careful to select enzymes that function in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals, so that bio-computers can be engineered within a variety of organisms."
On the technical side, the transcriptor achieves a key similarity between the biological transistor and its semiconducting cousin: signal amplification.
With transcriptors, a very small change in the expression of an integrase can create a very large change in the expression of any two other genes.
To understand the importance of amplification, consider that the transistor was first conceived as a way to replace expensive, inefficient and unreliable vacuum tubes in the amplification of telephone signals for transcontinental phone calls. Electrical signals traveling along wires get weaker the farther they travel, but if you put an amplifier every so often along the way, you can relay the signal across a great distance. The same would hold in biological systems as signals get transmitted among a group of cells.
"It is a concept similar to transistor radios," said Pakpoom Subsoontorn, a PhD candidate in bioengineering and co-author of the study who developed theoretical models to predict the behavior of BIL gates. "Relatively weak radio waves traveling through the air can get amplified into sound."
Public-domain biotechnology
To bring the age of the biological computer to a much speedier reality, Endy and his team have contributed all of BIL gates to the public domain so that others can immediately harness and improve upon the tools.
"Most of biotechnology has not yet been imagined, let alone made true. By freely sharing important basic tools everyone can work better together," Bonnet said.

Syrian opposition takes seat at Arab summit
DOHA, Qatar (AP) ? Syrian opposition representatives took the country's seat for the first time at an Arab League summit that opened in Qatar on Tuesday, a significant diplomatic boost for the forces fighting President Bashar Assad's regime.
In a ceremonious entrance accompanied by applause, a delegation led by Mouaz al-Khatib, the former president of the main opposition alliance ? the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition ? took the seats assigned for Syria at the invitation of Qatar's emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
Al-Khatib used the forum to call for a greater U.S. role in aiding the rebels and said he had appealed to Secretary of State John Kerry to consider using NATO Patriot anti-missile batteries in Turkey to help defend northern Syria against strikes by Assad's forces.
The decision for the opposition to take Syria's seat was made at the recommendation of Arab foreign ministers earlier this week in the Qatari capital, Doha. The Arab League in 2011 suspended the Syrian government's membership in the organization as punishment for the regime's crackdown on opponents.
The Qatari ruler, who chairs the summit, said the Syrian opposition deserves "this representation because of the popular legitimacy they have won at home and the broad support they won abroad and the historic role they have assumed in leading the revolution and preparing for building the new Syria."
The diplomatic triumph and Qatar's praise, however, could not conceal the disarray within the top ranks of the Syrian opposition.
Besides al-Khatib, the Syrian delegation included Ghassan Hitto, recently elected prime minister of a planned interim government to administer rebel-held areas in Syria, and two prominent opposition figures, George Sabra and Suheir Atassi.
Addressing the gathering, al-Khatib thanked the Arab League for granting the seat to the opposition. "It is part of the restoration of legitimacy that the people of Syria have long been robbed of," he said.
He lamented the inaction of several foreign governments, which he did not name, toward the Syrian crisis and spoke emotionally of the suffering of the civilians in his country.
"I convey to you the greetings of the orphans, widows, the wounded, the detained and the homeless," al-Khatib told the gathering in an opulent hall in Doha.
He also defended the presence in Syria of foreign jihadis, saying the militants were there to help defend a people under attack but adding that those more needed by their families in their own countries should leave.
"Is it the beards or the fact that they are foreigners?" he asked, referring to concern in the West and elsewhere that hard-line Islamic fighters are at the forefront of the battle against the Syrian regime.
"Why is no one saying anything about the Iranian and Russian advisers and Hezbollah?" he asked, a reference to opposition claims that the Syrian regime's main allies are directly involved in the fighting.
Even as rebel fighters gain more territory on the ground in their fight against Assad's troops, their mostly exile political leadership has been divided. Al-Khatib announced his resignation on Sunday because of what he described as restrictions on his work and frustration with the level of international aid for the opposition. The coalition rejected the resignation and al-Khatib said he would discuss the issue later and represent the opposition at the Qatar summit "in the name of the Syrian people."
Also, Hitto's election as the head of the interim government was rejected by the opposition's military office, which said he was not a consensus figure. Some members have accused Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood of imposing their will on the Coalition.
In Damascus, the government on Tuesday blasted the Arab League's move to allow the opposition to take its seat at the Doha summit, portraying it as a selling-out of Arab identity to please Israel and the United States.
"The Arab League has blown up all its charters and pledges to preserve common Arab security, and the shameful decisions it has taken against the Syrian people since the beginning of the crisis and until now have sustained our conviction that it has exchanged its Arab identity with a Zionist-American one," said an editorial in the Al-Thawra newspaper, a government mouthpiece.
"The Syrians are fully aware that this is not a summit of the Arabs, and Arabism means nothing without Syria," it said, adding that recognizing the opposition "legitimizes terrorist acts that are committed overtly and blatantly against the Syrians, their institutions and properties."
The government in Damascus says the conflict is an international conspiracy to weaken Syria being carried out by terrorists on the ground.
Addressing the summit, Arab League chief Nabil Elaraby warned that the Syrian conflict would have "grave repercussions" on the whole region and blamed Assad's regime for the failure to end the strife.
A "political settlement of the Syrian crisis is the choice that should be undertaken," he said.
The crisis began in March 2011 with protests demanding Assad's ouster. With a harsh government crackdown, the uprising steadily grew more violent until it became a full-fledged civil war. The United Nations estimates that more than 70,000 people have died so far in the conflict.
The emir of Qatar, a tiny but super-rich nation that is assuming a growing regional role, proposed a "mini" Arab summit in Egypt to negotiate reconciliation between rival Palestinian factions, the Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement that controls the West Bank and the militant Hamas group, which rules the Gaza Strip.
He said the proposed summit would remain in session until an agreement is reached, including a timetable for the creation of a transitional government to oversee legislative and presidential elections.
Sheik Hamad also proposed creating a $1 billion fund for the defense of Jerusalem's Arab identity. Qatar, he said, would contribute $250 million and expects other Arab nations to come up with the rest.
"The Palestinian, Arab and Muslim rights in Jerusalem are not negotiable and Israel must realize this," he said.
The Qatari emir also called on fellow Arab nations to help Egypt overcome its economic difficulties.
"It the duty of all of us to offer support to the brotherly Arab Republic of Egypt under these circumstances," he said.
Qatar has been generous with Egypt to keep its economy afloat and the emir's call for others to help betrayed the reluctance of other oil-rich nations to follow suit or offer significant assistance.
However, when Egypt's Islamist president took the floor in the summit's evening session, he warned against foreign meddling in his nation.
Mohammed Morsi said he would deal "firmly" and "decisively" with any foreign attempt to meddle in the affairs of his country, which has been mired in turmoil for most of the two years since Hosni Mubarak's ouster.
"Anyone is tempted to do so will be decisively and firmly countered by us," Morsi said. "We don't accept anyone sticking his finger inside Egypt." But he didn't elaborate.
Egypt is embroiled in a tug of war pitting Morsi and his Islamist allies against a mostly secular and liberal opposition. The crippling political impasse is compounded by economic woes and tenuous security.

Corralling Curriculum
Posted by Meg | 0 comments
Homeschooling is fun, isn?t it? Especially for those of us who feel as if we were ?born to teach.? Yet even amidst the best efforts of a highly organized person, it?s very easy to quickly become overwhelmed with the amount of paper output!
I wanted to share with you today the system I set up for keeping control of the paper clutter (this method works for the younger set, when preschool worksheets and craft ?how-tos? are abundant?and also for those of you who utilize unit studies for your older ones).
I utilize a simple folder and file system to organize the ?loose curriculum? I?ve accumulated (by ?loose,? I mean pieced together worksheets, activities, craft ideas, etc. that I pull from different areas). I took an empty drawer in our file cabinet and dedicated it to homeschooling curriculum and craft ideas. I made up folders for each ?unit? (weather, Christmas, safety, manners, etc.) and started adding. I find my material from a host of sources, some borrowed from my aunt, a former teacher, some online (via Pinterest, as well as other education and homeschooling sites), some books I buy for photocopy, and yet more from curriculum-by-mail companies. This helps me easily plan activities for every day, as well as spot units which would be good to try next, since the tabs stare at me each time I open the drawer.
When we finish a unit, I put craft ?samples? in the folder for future reference (or sharing with friends!). I also throw in any notes I took during the process, themed snack recipes, and book lists showing books on that subject that we checked out from the library.
It?s a breeze to find crafts and educational activity supplements for any theme ? or season or holiday ? now that I have this organized! Less stress equals more fun?for the kids AND for Mom!

ECB, Eurogroup at odds over Cyprus rescue as model
BRUSSELS (AP) ? Europe's leading institutions clashed in a rare sign of public discord Tuesday over what shape future financial rescues will take following the bailout for Cyprus, creating further uncertainty and concern about the safety of keeping large deposits in European banks.
In a 10 billion euro bailout deal clinched in the early hours of Monday morning, Cyprus agreed to dissolve the country's second-largest bank, inflicting significant losses ? possibly up to 40 percent ? on all deposits larger than 100,000 euros ($130,000).
That step, agreed with the other 16 European Union countries that use the euro and the International Monetary Fund, marks the first time in Europe's 3-year-old debt crisis that large deposit holders ? wealthy savers, businesspeople or institutions ? will be forced to take losses as part of a eurozone rescue.
The move was hailed later that day by Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the head of the Eurogroup of euro finance ministers, who said that forcing losses on banks' shareholders, bondholders and even large depositors could become the template for future rescues.
However by Tuesday, Benoit Coeure, a member of the executive board of the European Central Bank, bluntly dismissed Dijsselbloem's idea.
Coeure told France's Europe 1 radio that Dijsselbloem (die-SELL-bloom) was "wrong" to say that because the solution agreed on for Cyprus cannot be a model for the eurozone. Cyprus's situation is unique because of the island nation's outsized financial sector, including large deposits from foreigners, added Coeure, who sits on the ECB's six-member executive board.
French President Francois Hollande insisted that the Cyprus solution is one of a kind. "What is really important regarding Cyprus ... was the exceptional, specific, unique treatment and which, nevertheless, had to be done," Hollande said at a news conference in Paris, with visiting Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.
Rajoy said he believes banking recapitalization should be done through the European Stability Mechanism, not through the deposits of savers. "I am not in agreement with that, and I will defend my position," he said.
Also Tuesday a leading European Parliament lawmaker further muddied the waters by calling for the enforcement of losses on big savers to be enshrined in in law in cases of bank failures. Deposits of up to 100,000 euros are guaranteed by a state-backed deposit insurance scheme. In the U.S., deposits are generally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.
"When a bank is in crisis, deposits below 100,000 euros shall be protected, but once the shareholders have lost value, the investors have lost money, then large deposits are in the last row of the pecking hierarchy," said Gunnar Hokmark, an influential Swedish member of the European Parliament who is leading negotiations on finalizing a set of laws for winding up problem banks.
"Deposits will not be bailed-in until nearly all others tools are exhausted," he told the Associated Press. "But above the 100,000 euros level, there must be some risk, otherwise we wouldn't have the deposit insurance guarantee."
The draft laws under negotiation, proposed by the European Commission, explicitly foresee the possibility to bail-in deposit holders above the guaranteed level from 2015 onward. Hokmark, who hails from Parliament's center-right majority caucus, was confident that the law will find wide support among lawmakers.
EU officials had previously stressed the so-called bail-in was a "unique step" in Cyprus, but Dijsselbloem's remarks in an interview Monday clearly raised the specter for that solution to be applied elsewhere in Europe too. His comments suggesting that the approach taken in Cyprus was a model solution spooked markets and sent the euro to its lowest value against the dollar since November.
"Anxiety spreads when key European leaders make such statements," said Erik Nielsen, an economist with Unicredit bank.
Investors are concerned that if holders of large deposits in weaker southern European countries were to start fearing for their money, they could move it away from their domestic banks. While there is an ECB stopgap to help cover a run on a bank, a steady outflow of funds would further expose a lender's capital reserves, possibly pushing them to seek support from their governments.
But nations such as Portugal, Spain, Italy or Greece already have huge public debt loads, which would make it difficult for them to recapitalize their banks. Spain, unable to shoulder the burden of its ailing lenders, has already applied for a bailout from its European partners to shore up its banks.
Dijsselbloem ln Tuesday defended his comments, saying it is logical to hold banks' owners and bondholders to account.
"Our approach to saving troubled banks is that it's no longer going to be directly for the account of the taxpayer and the government, but that we're trying to push the risks back to the banks and the ones who have invested riskily," he told Dutch broadcaster RTL.
But the ECB's Coeure rejected the idea of making the course taken in Cyprus a template for the bloc.
"The experience in Cyprus is not a model," Coeure said. "I think Mr. Dijsselbloem was wrong to say what he said."
"Cyprus was bankrupt. That's a situation you don't have anywhere else in the eurozone," Coeure insisted. "The situation was so special that it required a special solution. There is no reason to use the same methods elsewhere," he said.
The European Commission, the bloc's executive arm, was also at pains to dispel fears ignited by Dijsselbloem's comments.
Spokeswoman Chantal Hughes said "we want a solution where the taxpayer stops paying for the banks' errors" but added that Cyprus was a unique situation and wasn't a "perfect model or a model that should be used again in the same way."

Loving Life: SRC Recipe: Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage
Whoop whoop...it's time...it's time for the Secret Recipe Club Group D reveal. The Secret Recipe Club is a great group where each month we are assigned a "Secret" blog where we excitedly choose a recipe and then on our reveal date we share our recipes. My favorite part in the reveal is trying to guess who had my blog and seeing what they chose.?
I was so excited when I chose the recipe for my SRC Assignment. I actually have had this particular blog before. In September of 2012 I made this recipe from her blog. Emily's blog Life on food?is a great blog. Please take time to read her About me page.?It's great. She's quite an adventurous girl.
The recipe I chose was her Crockpot Corned Beef and Cabbage?. I have been craving Corned Beef and Cabbage for awhile now and so when I saw that she had a recipe for it, I thought "why not make this one." I was a bit nervous. I grew up eating corned beef, but have never made it myself. I had been googling recipes prior to this assignment so I combined a few ideas.?
Today is St. Patrick's Day (well, the day I'm writing this post) so I knew it was the perfect day to try this. Yah, it would have been nice had I thought about the fact that it takes longer than 8 hours to cook in a crockpot and I was making this on a Sunday morning with plans to eat lunch by 1:30. You do the math. But there was no turning back. I had invited company over. So I went for it. The end result was a great, tender dinner.?
The funny thing is, the recipe calls for beer. I don't drink anything alcohol so had no clue what to look for. I FB messaged a friend of mine for advice, then went to the store and stared dumbly at all the options. Yikes! I also ?opted to NOT buy an inexpensive brand of corned beef but instead chose to buy from our local Chucks Produce and Street Market. We are on a continual journey of healthier more aware eating and I wanted to know what we were eating. I purchased a brisket that is from a local farm (Oregon) called Painted Hills Beef. It was WAY more, but WAY worth it.?
Last night I prepped the onions and carrots, placed them in plastic bags to dump in the crockpot in the morning. Went to bed, set the alarm for 4:50 and couldn't fall asleep! Grr...but I survived and dinner was ready to go by 1:45. I even made Irish Soda Bread from Miz Helen's Country Cottage. She posted this recipe on last weeks reveal! I went all out! Yay!
Okay, enough of the babble...sorry, I'm tired. On with the recipe. I am putting Emily's ingredients with my additions in italics. I will post my instructions, so please click the above link to see her instructions. They don't differ much except for the order in which I added things to the crockpot. I know my crockpot and it cooks hot so I didn't add the veggies right away. Also, my corned beef didn't have a packet, but the seasonings were in with the beef so I didn't rinse it, but now thinking I should have because they were too strong for everyone.?
Crock Pot Corned Beef and Cabbage
Adapted from Life on Food
Ingredients:
4 carrots peeled (I used a few more because there were 6 of us)
1 medium onion cut in to wedges
1 clove garlic (my addition)
4-6 red potatoes, quartered or halved depending on size
1 4lb corned beef brisket (mine was almost 3lbs.)
12 oz. Stout or Dark Ale (I used 8 oz. and 3 c. of water)
2 Tbs. sugar
2 Tbs. Vinegar
1 Tbs. Corned Beef spices or spice packet that comes with your corned beef
1 medium head of cabbage cut in wedges
Instructions:
1. Place onion and garlic in bottom of crockpot. Top with Corned Beef.
check out those spices...WOW! But I seriously should have left them out of the cooking process...it's not fun to pick them out.
2. Combine beer, water, vinegar and sugar. Stir and pour over beef.?3. Cook on low for 4 hours.?
4. Add Carrots and Potatoes to the top of beef. Cook another 4 hours or so.?
5. At the end, remove meat and veggies, cover with foil to keep warm. Add chopped cabbage to the liquid, cooking on high till it reaches desired consistency. Mine took about 20 minutes or so.?
*Notes: After I removed the meat, potatoes and carrots, I added some saurkraut to the top, and covered it with foil to keep warm, even put it in the oven for a few minutes.
I also cooked it for 4 hours on low and 4 hours on high because I didn't really have 9-10 hours for total cooking time. It came out perfectly moist and the veggies were just right.?
And again, I would have personally rinsed the beef off and NOT added anymore spices. I think the fact that this brisket sat in the spices in the package seasoned it enough.
Well, that's about it. Mark this recipe to make next St. Patty's Day, or before. ?
With Joy UNquenchable,

Peach genome offers insights into breeding strategies for biofuels crops
Mar. 24, 2013 ? Rapidly growing trees like poplars and willows are candidate "biofuel crops" from which it is expected that cellulosic ethanol and higher energy content fuels can be efficiently extracted. Domesticating these as crops requires a deep understanding of the physiology and genetics of trees, and scientists are turning to long-domesticated fruit trees for hints. The relationship between a peach and a poplar may not be obvious at first glance, but to botanists both trees are part of the rosid superfamily, which includes not only fruit crops like apples, strawberries, cherries, and almonds, but many other plants as well, including rose that gives the superfamily its name.
"The close relationship between peach and poplar trees is evident from their DNA sequence," said Jeremy Schmutz, head of the Plant Program at the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI).
In the March 24 edition of Nature Genetics, Schmutz and several colleagues were part of the International Peach Genome Initiative (IPGI) that published the 265-million base genome of the Lovell variety of Prunus persica.
"Using comparative genomics approaches, characterization of the peach sequence can be exploited not only for the improvement and sustainability of peach and other important tree species, but also to enhance our understanding of the basic biology of trees," the team wrote. They compared 141 peach gene families to those of six other fully sequenced diverse plant species to unravel unique metabolic pathways, for instance, those that lead to lignin biosynthesis -- the molecular "glue" that holds the plant cells together -- and a key barrier to deconstructing biomass into fuels.
For bioenergy researchers, the size of the peach genome makes it ideal to serve as a plant model for studying genes found in related genomes, such as poplar, one of the DOE JGI's Plant Flagship Genomes (http://bit.ly/JGI-Plants), and develop methods for improving plant biomass yield for biofuels.
"One gene we're interested in is the so-called "evergreen" locus in peaches, which extends the growing season," said Daniel Rokhsar, DOE JGI Eukaryotic Program head under whose leadership sequencing of the peach genome began back in 2007. "In theory, it could be manipulated in poplar to increase the accumulation of biomass."
The publication comes three years after the International Peach Genome Consortium publicly released the draft assembly of the annotated peach genome on the DOE JGI Plant portal Phytozome.net and on other websites. The decision to sequence the peach genome was first announced during the 2007 Plant and Animal Genome XI Conference. Learn more about poplar and DOE JGI Plant Flagship Genomes at http://genome.jgi.doe.gov/programs/plants/flagship_genomes.jsf.
In the United States, the Initiative was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and led by researchers at the DOE JGI, The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, Clemson University, North Carolina State University, and Washington State University. Additional support was contributed by U.S. Department of Agriculture and by the Energy Biosciences Institute, of the University of California, Berkeley, who supported senior author Therese Mitros. The Italian government also supported this international effort, including the work of first author Ignazio Verde of the Fruit Tree Research Centre/Agricultural Research Council in Rome, Italy. Contributions were also made from research institutes in Chile, Spain, and France.
