WELLS, Maine – In Defense of Nature: Rachel Carson and the World Around Us, a one-day conference presented by the Maine Humanities Council, will take place on Friday, May 6, 2011, from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm at Wells Reserve at Laudholm, Wells.

Rachel Carson, a biologist and naturalist, initially gained fame as the author of The Sea Around Us, a paean to the rhythms of the ocean and the life within it that captured the popular imagination in 1951. When a friend described the death of birds on her property after it was sprayed with pesticides, however, Carson spent years researching and writing her eloquent and decidedly confrontational work Silent Spring.

Amazon has just entered the cloud music business, beating Apple and Google. How does their plan work?

5G free or 20G if you buy an album from Amazon
You can buy more space at $1/G
I have about 130G on my iPod right now, or $200 for the year to host it.
Also, although there's an Android app, nothing for Apple so far

Are the record companies OK with this?

Actually, Amazon upset them by going live with out their permission. The record companies see this as an attack on their license, Amazon sees it as no different than saving your mp3s to your hard drive.

What other services are out there?
