The Sorensen Institute is now accepting applications for the 2015 Political Leaders Program and the 2015 Candidate Training Program. Applications will be accepted for both programs until 11:59pm on Monday, November 10, 2014. More information about the programs, as well as application instructions, can be found on our Application Page.
If you know someone who would be a good addition to either class, feel free to submit their information to us using our Referrals Page and we will get in touch with the prospective applicant.
The 2008 public television documentary Across the Aisle follows the Political Leaders Program Class of 2007 during its 10-month program across Virginia.
Class members come face to face with their personal biases and political limitations by arguing against their own positions, breaking down political stereotypes, spending real time with their opponents, balancing a state budget, and touring state-run facilities to learn a new and highly functional approach to politics.
Across the Aisle is a poignant and personal story that reveals a new model for political leadership, in which the most powerful tools are civility, trust, and respect.
The documentary was produced courtesy of Fred Scott, a member of the Sorensen Institute's State Advisory Board.
We are delighted to announce the Political Leaders Program Class of 2014. These participants will meet for the first time in Williamsburg on March 13-15 to begin their program. Congratulations to all!

College Leaders Program Class of 2013
Day 6: Thursday, June 6
Reported by: Richard Pantele, Hampden-Sydney College and Rachel Brooks, the College of William and Mary).
Today's programming was insightful. We began the day by splitting up into focus groups comprised of one member from each policy area. The purpose of doing this was to present our preliminary ideas to the other groups in order to receive constructive criticism and strengthen our policy proposals. We all found this process useful. Many of the groups found that the greatest weakness was a lack of statistical information. After the combined groups met, we brought the information we gained in the focus groups to the class as a whole. This enabled the class and the Youth Program Managers to sit and discuss each individual project. After speaking with many people in the class, I found that the general consensus was that the session enhanced the substance and direction of each group's policy.
After a brief break, Mr. Jeff Britt and Mr. Felix Sarfo-Kantanka visited the class. Mr. Britt serves as a vice president of grassroots issues management at McGuireWoods Consulting. Mr. Sarfo-Kantaka also works at McGuireWoods and serves as their assistant vice president in the state government section of the firm. Both of these gentlemen provided valuable insight about working in the world of public affairs. I found these presentations to be useful because I aspire to obtain a career in political consulting. It was clear that the class enjoyed their enthusiasm and willingness to be honest about the sensitivity of their positions as well as their willingness to share their story about how they got to where they are. They provided a realistic view of what it takes to have a successful career in the field of public policy. One of the greatest strengths of their lecture was their description of how people who identify with opposing political parties can come together and make a strong, valuable team in organizations like McGuireWoods Consulting. It is always nice to hear from people who started their political careers at the Sorensen Institute and are now experts in their fields.
In addition to the speakers from McGuireWoods Consulting, we had a two other guests visit the Sorensen College Leaders Program classroom. Ms. Connie Jorgensen, an assistant professor of political science at Piedmont Virginia Community College, gave an enthusiastic and effective presentation on the legislative process. After trying to start a rousing rendition of the "I'm Just a Bill" song from Schoolhouse Rock, she explained the details of how a bill really becomes a law and how to improve the likelihood that a piece of legislation will pass. Doing research, finding a legislator to carry the bill and getting voter support are a few key components to success in the legislative process. Considering many people in the College Leaders Program plan to run for office, the legislative process was a relevant topic to the group's interests and ambitions.
While we ate lunch, Ms. Barbara Kessler, the director of human resources and workforce development programs at the University of Virginia, presented a resume workshop. Ms. Kessler's advice was constructive for all of us regardless of age or class year. We received input about what to include and leave off of our resumes as well as what common mistakes to avoid. Since we all have varying degrees of experience and different accomplishments, she collected our resumes to individually edit and return early next week. Sorensen activities like the resume workshop will benefit us in applications, interviews, and other career-oriented endeavors.
After Ms. Kessler's presentation, we had a class session with Dr. Quentin Kidd on "The Informed and Thoughtful Citizen" in which we went over the Constitution of Virginia and discussed different articles. Despite some rain, the overall opinion of the day was that it was productive and interesting. The College Leaders Program will start off another productive day tomorrow at 9 a.m., and I am excited to see what the rest of the program brings.
The Sorensen Institute is delighted to announce the names of those Virginians who have been accepted to the Political Leaders Program Class of 2013. The 2013 PLP will enjoy its first session together March 14-16 in Williamsburg. Each of these Virginians has been recognized as an emerging community and statewide leader.

Happy Fourth of July!!! Here is an ice cream recipe to impress everyone with at your next barbecue - all you need is an ice cream maker.
Before I owned an ice cream maker I was certain that ice cream was difficult to make, that there was some secret to the process I wouldn't be able to figure out. Not true! Turns out, it is really easy to make ice cream. All you need is lots of cream, sugar, fruit, and chocolate. Yum.
Anyways, if you are looking for a cool, sweet recipe for the summer time, here it is!
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
- 1 quart fresh strawberries
- 3 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 c. sugar, divided
- 1 c. whole milk
- 1 3/4 c. heavy cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 bar or dark chocolate
- an ice cream maker
Wash your strawberries and remove the green tops. Slice the strawberries and then place them in a bowl with three tablespoons of lemon juice and 1/3 c. of sugar. Leave the strawberries to macerate in the bowl for the next two to three hours.
After three hours you can begin making the ice cream in earnest. Take a clean bowl and add in the milk and remaining 2/3 cup of sugar. Using a hand mixer, mix together the milk and sugar on low until the sugar is dissolved. Then stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. By this time the strawberries will be sitting in a significant amount of strawberry liquid. Drain the strawberry liquid into the bowl with the milk and cream and put the sliced strawberries to the side. Mix everything together by hand.
Next, start up your ice cream maker and pour the milk mixture into the ice cream maker bowl. Let the ice cream maker run for about 30 minutes. While the ice cream is churning, place your strawberries in the fridge to keep them cold. Using a knife chop the dark chocolate bar into small pieces.
After about 30 minutes the ice cream will be truly coming together. Add the sliced strawberries to the ice cream bowl and add in the chocolate. Let the ice cream maker run another five minutes and then turn it off and transfer the ice cream into freezer containers (I recommend pint size containers because it will help the ice cream freeze quicker). Place the ice cream in the fridge for another 2 hours to make sure it hardens or leave it overnight to make sure it freezes all the way through.
When you're ready to eat the ice cream remove it from the freezer and let sit 10-20 minutes to thaw. Serve in bowls with fresh strawberries on the side.

Nerve Block
Regional Anesthesia For Office Procedures: Part I. Head and Neck Surgeries - Article
ABSTRACT: Although local anesthesia usually is used in surgical procedures, field or nerve blocks can provide more effective anesthesia in some situations. In a field block, local anesthetic is infiltrated around the border of the surgical field, leaving the operative area undisturbed. In field blocks, epinephrine may be added to the anesthetic to enhance vasoconstriction and prolong the duration of anesthesia. In a nerve block, anesthetic is injected directly adjacent to the nerve supplying the surgical field. A review of regional anatomy and the location of nerves and other important structures is essential before administering the injection. Systemic toxicity is rare with regional anesthesia and can be prevented by using the smallest dose possible and aspirating before the injection. Supraorbital, supratrochlear, infraorbital, and mental nerve blocks can provide adequate anesthesia in procedures on parts of the face. Field block also may be considered when operating on the ear or lips.
Regional Anesthesia For Office Procedures: Part II. Extremity and Inguinal Area Surgeries - Article
ABSTRACT: The hand can be anesthetized effectively with blocks of the median, ulnar, or radial nerve. Each digit is supplied by four digital nerves, which can be blocked with injections on each side of the digit. Anterior or posterior ankle blocks can be used for regional anesthesia for the foot. The anterior ankle block, which is used for procedures on the dorsum of the foot, involves blocking the saphenous nerve, and superficial and deep peroneal nerves. The posterior ankle block, which is used to anesthetize the sole of the foot, involves blocking the sural and posterior tibial nerves. Paracervical block is used for procedures on the cervix, such as loop electrocauterization or conization. Dorsal penile block has been the most commonly recommended anesthetic technique for neonatal circumcision. A safe and effective alternative is the application of anesthetic cream over the skin to be circumcised.
Adult Circumcision - Article
ABSTRACT: Adult circumcision can be performed under local or regional anesthesia. Medical indications for this procedure include phimosis, paraphimosis, recurrent balanitis and posthitis (inflammation of the prepuce). Nonmedical reasons may be social, cultural, personal or religious. The procedure is commonly performed using either the dorsal slit or the sleeve technique. The dorsal slit is especially useful in patients who have phimosis. The sleeve technique may provide better control of bleeding in patients with large subcutaneous veins. A dorsal penile nerve block, with or without a circumferential penile block, provides adequate anesthesia. Informed consent must be obtained. Possible complications of adult circumcision include infection, bleeding, poor cosmetic results and a change in sensation during intercourse.
Labor Analgesia - Article
ABSTRACT: Regional analgesia has become the most common method of pain relief used during labor in the United States. Epidural and spinal analgesia are two types of regional analgesia. With epidural analgesia, an indwelling catheter is directed into the epidural space, and the patient receives a continuous infusion or multiple injections of local anesthetic. Spinal injections are usually single injections into the intrathecal space. A combination of epidural and spinal analgesia, known as a walking epidural, also is available. This technique combines the rapid pain relief from the spinal regional block with the constant and consistent effects from the epidural block. It allows sufficient motor function for patients to ambulate. Complications with regional analgesia are uncommon, but may include postdural puncture headache. Rare serious complications include neurologic injury, epidural hematoma, or deep epidural infection. Regional analgesia increases the risk of instrument-assisted vaginal delivery, and family physicians should understand the contraindications and risks of complications. Continuous labor support (e.g., doula), systemic opioid analgesia, pudendal blocks, water immersion, sterile water injections into the lumbosacral spine, self-taught hypnosis, and acupuncture are other options for pain management during labor.
Infiltrative Anesthesia in Office Practice - Article
ABSTRACT: When choosing an infiltrative anesthetic agent, the type of procedure, the length of time required for anesthesia, and the pharmacodynamics of each medication are important considerations. Distraction techniques and buffering with sodium bicarbonate can be used to decrease the pain associated with injection. Local cutaneous infiltration is the most commonly used anesthetic technique and involves direct injection into the area requiring anesthesia. Field blocks provide anesthesia by circumferentially blocking innervation to the area. Nerve blocks target the innervation to a specific area and are useful on the face and digits. Using easily identifiable landmarks, blockade of the supraorbital, supratrochlear, infraorbital, and mental nerves can provide site-specific anesthesia. Dorsal and palmar or plantar digital nerve blocks can be performed at a variety of locations on the hands and feet.

Melbourne Water Encourages Australian Citizens to Build 10,000 Rain Gardens
Posted By Imogen Russell-Head On January 29, 2013 @ 5:19 pm In Botanical,Design,Environment,Gardening and Plants,News,Urban design,Water Issues | No Comments
Melbourne Water [2], a water supply company owned by the Victorian State Government [3], is encouraging Australian residents to create 10,000 rain gardens – and they're already up to 7,804! A rain garden [4] is a water-saving garden that is designed to capture stormwater from hard surfaces such as driveways, patios and roofs via downpipes after it rains. The water supply company has set up a website [5] with information on designing, creating and caring for rain gardens – no previous experience necessary.
Self-watering rain gardens are easy to maintain, and they help reduce the amount of drinking water used to water gardens while also reducing the amount of pollution entering waterways. In a rain garden, there are layers of sandy soil underneath the garden bed that help to slow stormwater from entering rivers and creeks. These layers help remove pollution such as nitrogen and phosphorus, fertilizers, dust, leaves and animal droppings, which wash off hard surfaces.
There are many different types of rain gardens [4] – including planter boxes, in-ground gardens, infiltration gardens, swales, green roofs [7], porous paving, downpipe diversion and rainwater tank diversion.
Melbourne Water's 10,000 Rain Gardens Program [5], which encourages people to build rain gardens in their own backyards, originally started by working with councils to create rain gardens in public spaces. The program recently expanded and now provides instructions on how to design, build and maintain a rain garden [8] so that anyone can create their own at home.

DENVER (AP) - Colorado Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper has widened his fundraising edge against Republican challenger Bob Beauprez despite recent public missteps that have fueled GOP attacks.
Figures released late Tuesday show Hickenlooper raised $545,791 - his largest monthly amount yet. Beauprez raised $223,510 for the reporting period spanning July 27 through August 27.
So far, Hickenlooper has raised $4 million, while Beauprez has raised $828,695. He's lent himself another $527,000.
The latest figures come as the battle for television air time ramps up. The Republican Governors Association purchased $1.8 million for commercials criticizing Hickenlooper, including his decision to grant an indefinite stay of execution to Nathan Dunlap.
The Democratic Governors Association is reserving $3.3 million in television ads this fall for Hickenlooper, and Hickenlooper's campaign will go on air next week.

Kitten/Cat Adoption
Available for Adoption
late 2003, at the urging of my staff, our hospital began
our own adoption program. Working
with a very limited number of reputable rescue
organizations, our hospital obtained kittens (and the
occasional adult cat) in need of loving and caring
For most of the kittens, life started out a bit rough.
Many were feral, fearful and untrusting, living on the
street or in yards, garages, and sheds. Through the
devotion of dedicated rescue workers, these kitties were
captured, nurtured, socialized, and then brought to us
so that we could attempt to find good homes for them.
We've been fortunate that our neighbors and friends
have found our cats to be irresistible, and we can
proudly proclaim that since the start of the program, we have placed
over 200 cats and kittens into loving
If you're looking to adopt a kitten or cat to provide
your current cat with some company, or if you're
thinking of adding two kittens or cats to your currently
catless home (we always recommend adopting them in
pairs), look at the kitties
available for adoption
now or contact our office.
All kittens that arrive here at our hospital are given a
thorough physical examination. Each kitten is tested
individually for the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and
the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Each kitten is
checked for fleas and ear mites, and treated
appropriately if necessary. Fecal examinations are
performed on each kitten, and deworming is performed if
necessary. Pediatric vaccinations are then
adoption process begins with you filling out our
application. You can download this form and then
mail, bring, or fax it to us at your convenience. Once
we receive it, we will carefully evaluate your
application, as well as any other applications we
receive, and will notify you as to whether the cat or
kitten you seek is available.
There is a fee associated with the adoption of our
kittens. This fee covers their initial examination,
FeLV/FIV test, fecal examination, first deworming, first
FVRCP vaccination, second examination, second FVRCP
vaccination, second deworming (if necessary), third
examination, third FVRCP vaccination, rabies
vaccination, and spaying or neutering. Basically, the
adoption fee pays for all of the standard procedures
necessary in the kitten's first six months of life.
Below is a list of the fabulous felines we have
currently found homes for:
Adopt a cat or kitten today. And tell your
friends about our program.

Article Date: 6/1/2003
Is There a Silver Lining in the Mail?
Here's where you might connect with mail-order contact lens dispensers.
FROM THE EXECUTIVE EDITOR, Jim Thomas
A mail-order contact lens dispenser might be the last company you'd expect to help optometrists. But it happens.
Patient referrals
Secor, O.D., explains that patients are scheduling eye exams because of the recent agreement between Vistakon and 1-800 Contacts. Under the agreement, 1-800 will not ship Acuvue lenses to any patient whose eyecare practitioner
(ECP) reports a prescription invalid or expired. (See details in the January 2003 issue of Optometric Management, page 16.)
"Where we've denied prescriptions, patients have come back to our office for examinations," says Dr.
At the exam, Dr. Secor says she educates the patient on the importance of annual eye exams. "I assure patients that I'm putting them in the best lens possible," she says. "I can't do that by talking to them over the phone or by seeing them every three to five years."
Under the agreement, 1-800 won't substitute Acuvue lenses with another brand. "Every other brand of lens could be substituted at the whim of the dispenser," she says. "It's a scary situation."
You might argue that this agreement is limited because it addresses only one manufacturer's lenses sold through one dispenser. Excellent point! Dr. Secor and other optometrists say that all contact lens dispensers should follow the same guidelines set by the
Vistakon/1-800 agreement for all lenses they carry.
Dr. Secor says, "We have the patient's best interests in mind and we're lost if dispensers don't follow the prescriptions."
Could ECPs save mail order?
If you look at contact lens dispensing from a mail-order company's perspective, then you face a significant logistics problem: Your order-taking process is too sluggish.
With typical retail mail order, automated order processing takes seconds. With contact lenses, the process grinds to a halt as the dispenser waits hours for prescription verification, which may ultimately result in rejected orders.
Imagine how efficient the process becomes with instant prescription verification. This could be achieved with a costly electronic system that connects the dispenser and the
ECP. Or it could be done easily if the ECP were to order contact lenses for the patient through the mail-order company. Verification is assured as soon as the order is placed. For this, mail-order companies would owe ECPs a huge debt.
Optometric Management, Issue: June 2003

Cock-a-Doodle Do
One year when my two youngest children were 13 and 9, we decided to take a day trip from our home in Detroit to London, Ontario, in Canada. It was the first time our children would be going into another country. They were very excited about it, so we started out fairly early in the morning.
We planned on taking them to the Story Book Zoo in London. The weather wasn't too promising, but we all agreed to go anyway.
When we got to the zoo, there weren't many cars in the parking lot. It threatened rain, but we decided to take the chance that it wouldn't. The ticket lady told us we could get our money back if it was rained out. As we entered the gates of the zoo, there was a friendly rooster there to greet us. He came up to all of us as if to say, "Welcome." We all got a kick out of that.
As we proceeded to the first exhibit, which was Jack and the Beanstalk, the rooster followed us. We thought that comical, but then my husband Bob said to the rooster, "Go back to the gate, you have to greet the other people coming to visit."
The rooster looked at him as if to say, "Maybe you're right," but instead of turning around, he pecked my husband twice on the leg. That didn't go over too well, so we all started to walk fast to get away from the rooster. That didn't work. He walked as fast as we did, and when he got to my husband, pecked him again.
For the next half hour it was the battle of the rooster and Bob. The kids ran ahead out of sight as I stood by and gave advice, which didn't do any good. For the next 10 minutes we tried to figure out how to get away from this aggressive fowl. There wasn't anyone else around, so my husband took his jacket off and started swinging it at the bird. That sort of stopped him for a while, but as soon as we went around a corner, there was the rooster waiting for him.
There was a small arena with bleachers. I told my husband to go up on them. I didn't think the rooster would follow him, so he did. The rooster sort of looked up, scratched the ground a little, and then decided to go somewhere else.
Bob came down and we thought that would be the end of it. The kids were all excited now, had seen many of the sights before us, and were telling us all that they saw. I told them to calm down, that we would get there eventually to see what they had seen.
About half an hour later, as we were approaching a tree that had a rope spider web in it and a huge, black fake spider, which was for the kids to climb on. The kids were all excited. Bob and I sat on a bench nearby to watch them. We were enjoying the rest, when all of a sudden my husband jumped up and started to yell. That pesky rooster had snuck up behind the bench and pecked him in the leg again.
This was the last straw. We had seen some of the zoo, the kids had seen most of it, and we were getting hungry so we decided to leave. All the way back to the gate, the rooster followed us. Nothing like looking over one's shoulder, but this time the rooster stayed his distance. As we got to the gate, the rooster stopped. He seemed he knew he couldn't go beyond, but he spread out his wings and gave a big, "cock-a-doodle do."

The sales pitch
This 32-year-old, two-story contemporary condo has two bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths and 866 square feet. The living room features a vaulted ceiling and tile floor. The galley-style kitchen has tile counters, tile floors and a breakfast bar that overlooks the living room.
The master bedroom features a tile floor, closet and alcove with a sink. The master bath has a tub/shower combo, a second sink and tile floor.
The second bedroom is a loft area that overlooks the living room and could make an ideal office, says Gary Freiberg, Realtor with Century 21 All Service.
The freshly painted unit also has a private balcony, and covered carport with storage closet.
"This is one of the few pet-friendly complexes in San Diego," Freiberg says. Not only does the community allow pets, but it also has several exercise areas where people can take their pets.
What else you can get for $200,000
In San Diego, homebuyers with $200,000 to spend "need to shop carefully," says Bob Kevane, president of the San Diego Association of Realtors.
And at that price, single-family homebuyers are likely putting more than money into the deal. "Anybody buying any house is probably doing some sweat equity," Kevane says.
In San Diego, $200,000 will buy a single-family home with 1,000 to 1,100 square feet that is anywhere from 20 to 60 years old. "Some of them are not in that bad a condition, if sold by a seller," Kevane says.
Foreclosures and short sales are currently making up about 35 percent of the market, he estimates. And in some, condition is an issue. It's not uncommon to see "grass a couple of feet high, a lot of trash in the house, appliances that have been removed," or toilets or cabinets that have been pulled out, he says.
In the downtown area, $200,000 can get a smaller condo -- normally around 750 square feet or less -- at least four or five blocks from the water, Kevane says.
In the suburbs, 10 to 20 miles outside of town, you can find a single-family two- or three-bedroom with one bath, that is 40 to 60 years old, he says. Buyers can even find a two-bedroom, two-bath if they are willing to do "a little bit of work," he says.

Guy Pearce is in talks to star as the brother of Irish-American gangster Whitey Bulger in the forthcoming crime drama Black Mass.
Johnny Depp will play Bulger, the Boston-born crime kingpin, who is now 84 and is currently serving two life prison terms plus five years after a jury found that he participated in 11 murders.
The film's storyline will focus on Bulger's life as an FBI informant and a merciless criminal. When he was tipped off that the feds were on to him, Bulger went on the run with his girlfriend for almost a decade before being caught in 2011.
Australian actor Joel Edgerton is also in talks for a role in the movie, according to Variety.
Out of the Furnace director Scott Cooper will helm the project, replacing Barry Levinson, who had previously believed to be in line to direct.

6-14-05 - Storms, Monday night, caught a group of fishermen off guard on Lake Texoma. An 18-foot ski boat capsized after high winds hit the water just before 10:00 p.m. Four people were thrown into the water between Alberta Creek and Lake Washita.
Two of the boaters swam to the shore, the others stayed with the boat. They were pulled from the water by Marshall County rescuers.
All four boaters were wearing their life jackets. A trooper with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, lake patrol division, investigated the incident. He said the boaters were trying to get back to their campsite when the storm hit.

I play Travellar and don't really like the world maps.
They are ORANGE PEEL style and lack .....Eye candy!
So I intend to stylize the world maps and add some BLING to this part of the game.
I intend to use my laptop with another monitor hooked up to it to display info to the players so no printing will be necessary
and the color will remain vibrant and easily changeable.

I was typing in random site names again, mostly because I was feeling a bit fat, but this website is irritating me now.
All roads lead to dead ends. There's a few hidden pictures of 1994 naked women if you're interested. I want to know if Fred and Lydie are still married. This is a horrible dead site. Even the link I found to someone's full resume isnt helping! I obviously have too much time on my hands this morning! But now I want to know what happened to all these people and its ticking me off so I thought I'd share my frustrations with you.

The United States established diplomatic relations with India in 1946, the year prior to its independence from Great Britain and formal recognition by the United States. Plans for the construction of the American Embassy in New Delhi began in the early 1950s and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren laid the cornerstone in 1956. Designed by Edward D. Stone, the architect of the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the embassy complex combines the best in South Asian architecture with Western concepts. The building was completed in 1959 and opened in a ceremony attended by Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, whereupon it was placed on the Department of State's Register of Culturally Significant Properties. The same facility is still in use today.
Embassy Activities:
- Supporting seminars for senior Indian law enforcement officials on the role of police leaders in combating terrorism
- Promoting joint efforts to highlight practical, affordable green technologies
- Funding health and education programs like the Sanjay Gandhi Settlement to make a difference in the lives of the urban poor
- Donating books to schools in the New Delhi area to mark the friendship of U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama and Mrs. Gursharan Kaur, the wife of India's prime minister
- Sponsoring India's first "Startup Weekend" for developers, designers, business people, students, lawyers, angel investors, and others who wish to start a new company
- Inaugurating Tibetan Refugee Reception Centers in Dharamsala and other provinces, largely through U.S. government funding

Southeast Ecological Science Center
Robert K. Bonde1 and Peter M. McGuire2
1 U.S. Geological Survey, Florida Integrated Science Center;2 Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of Florida
Presented at the Manatee Population Ecology and Management Workshop,1-4 April 2002, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.
Long-term field observations, with the aid of photo identification and radio-tracking technology, have necessitated the re-evaluation of data on life history parameters gathered from the field. Early studies revolving around manatee genetics have included analyses of allozymes, cytochrome-b, and the d-loop of the mitochondrial control region. However, recent advances in molecular genetic analysis techniques will allow field biologists to ask specific questions to help clarify and define observed relationships between kinship-groups (paternity and maternity) using microsatellites. In addition, important information on manatee behavior, potential reproductive strategies and success, analysis of population genetic structure based on both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA markers, and assessment of critical habitat, such as feeding and wintering grounds, will be amassed to help clarify population parameters. Specifically, the use of microsatellite "fingerprinting" holds great potential for better understanding manatee population biology and genetic structure. This information will be necessary in evaluating current and future management and research strategies.
Future research is directed towards both cytogenetics and molecular sequencing. Chromosome banding studies are planned for utilizing probes for allele marking and identification to recognize specific genes related to disease processes. Studies of mitochondrial DNA haplotype sequencing recently have been completed by researchers at the USGS Sirenia Project and the University of Florida and show distinct populations of West Indian manatees throughout their range. Additional sample analyses from international cooperators are encouraging and continuing. Currently, progress is being made to isolate specific primers (probes) to be used for manatee DNA fingerprinting studies. For the past several years the USGS and FMRI have amassed a collection of samples obtained from both wild and dead manatees in the field and archived for anticipated future analysis. Currently, geneticists are ready to begin examining these samples. In Florida this is a collaborative effort between the USGS, FMRI, UF, Mote Marine Lab, and Wildlife Trust.
mtDNA Haplotypes throughout the manatee range
Manatee karyotype
Increasing habitat loss and high mortality are factors which threaten the future of the Florida manatee. Low intrinsic reproductive rate and low natural population density make this species particularly vulnerable to human perturbations. One consequence of population reduction is loss of genetic diversity. Several generations of severe inbreeding in a small population or repeated crashes to a few individuals can deplete most of the genetic variation from an initially larger population (Soulé 1987). It is generally recognized that genetic variability is necessary for both adaptation to changing environments and long-term survival of the species (Ralls et al. 1979). Strategies to preserve genetic diversity require knowledge of the distribution of variation within populations and among species.
Results in terms of disease susceptibility and genetic lineage will be available and aid managers in assessing future recovery efforts. This information will help shed light on the frequency of different lineages or family units present in each geographic area, as well as the level of genetic flow between those areas.
Definition of the Florida manatee population structure and reproductive behavior will have conservation implications. Some management decisions may benefit from the recognition of family relationships within geographic or wintering groups as expressed by management units. For example, should depleted manatee populations be supplemented by translocation from other areas? Should a rehabilitated manatee be released in any appropriate location indiscriminately? Misdirected transplantation or translocation could compromise the integrity of genetic differences which have accumulated over evolutionary time. The definition of family units will help to avoid inbreeding events if animals need to be placed in semi-captivity for long periods of time before they are returned into the wild.
This work is a product of a very large cooperative effort between the U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Marine Research Institute, and the University of Florida. Much of the foundation for our understanding of Florida manatee genetics is based on doctoral work completed in 2000 by Angela Garcia at the University of Florida.

A recent study published in the journal Nature Genetics suggests that a gene linked to diabetes and cholesterol regulates the behavior of other genes found in fat. This breakthrough discovery of a "master regulator" switch for fat could eventually lead to the development of new, more effective drugs to treat heart disease and diabetes.
Some genes directly determine a person's hereditary traits such as hair, eye and skin color. Some genes are responsible for a person inheriting the risk for disease such as breast cancer or heart disease. Other genes act as master switches and control processes throughout the body. Regulating genes are not directly responsible for the expression of these hereditary traits, but instead they serve to influence the genes that are responsible. Finding these "master switch" genes help scientists understand why other genes act the way they do.
Scientists were aware that a gene known as KLF14 had a correlation with Type 2 diabetes and cholesterol levels, but they didn't know why. British researchers recently discovered that KLF14 regulates other genes found in fat tissue, and the genes controlled by KLF14 are linked to other metabolic traits such as body mass index, obesity, HDL (bad) cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin and glucose levels.
Obesity has doubled since the 1980s and become a worldwide epidemic affecting both rich and poor countries. Approximately 10 percent of the world's adult population, or more than half a billion people, suffer from obesity. In the U.S., more than one third of Americans are obese and have the obesity gene. Furthermore, nearly $150 billion a year, or 10 percent of all medical costs, is spent on obesity-related diseases in the U.S. alone.
Scientists are hoping that this new discovery of the fat "master switch" will help them better understand and prevent obesity and create treatments for obesity-related diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
