friends and sprouts
I have very few friends in my life that I have stayed in close contact with over the years. Maybe I'm a bad friend (I hope not). Maybe it's because Karen and I have moved so much over the last thirteen years that we've been married. New challenges, new jobs, new communities to connect with and find a place to belong. But there are friends that remain, that you cling to, and to whom you return to know who you are and who you were.
Which brings me to Brussels sprouts.

Subject: Re: [DNA] Anatole's method
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 16:29:07 +0000
Vince, please, bear with me. I am still in the process of explaining, and just posted
a continuation in the E1b1b thread. As you see, there is something to digest, that is
why I move rather slowly.
I am going to address your question a bit later, however, since you have asked, here it is.
The method, of course, is not a universal one, and there are no universal methods. It works
at different time spans depending on a number of markers in a haplotype. I would not recommend to use it when you have less than 5 base haplotypes in your set. Simply because the ratio becomes very sensitive
with a number of base haplotypes below 5 or 4. One can still use it - just to get a preliminary idea when a common ancestor could have lived. Clearly, if you have less than 5 base haplotypes out of 100, this should be very many generations ago.
In a 100-haplotype list that you have mentioned, 5 base (identical) haplotypes left would point at the following time spans to a common ancestor (but it should be checked with mutations, to be on a safe side) [besides, these all should be corrected for back mutations, and I am giving the corrected figures in brackets]:
6-marker haplotypes - 312 generations [456 gen = 11,400 years]
12-marker haplotypes - 125 generations [143 gen = 3,600 years]
25-marker haplotypes - 65 generations [69 gen = 1,700 years]
37-marker haplotypes - 33 generations [34 gen = 850 years]
In you example with no base haplotype left, it would be more than:
6-marker haplotypes - 480 generations [960 gen = 24,000 years]
12-marker haplotypes - 192 generations [238 gen = 6,000 years]
25-marker haplotypes - 100 generations 111 gen = 2,800 years]
37-marker haplotypes - 51 generations [54 gen = 1,350 years]

Vince wrote
The "logarithmic" method for dating groups of clades that you
describe is certainly novel.
If, in a 37-marker haplotype set, there are 100 haplotypes and they
are all unique then what is the base haplotype?

'All the Right Moves' Star Travis Wall Promises Real Life on His New Show: 'We Might Come Up Short'
"After [competing on] So You Think You Can Dance, I was accepted," Wall tells Celebuzz. "I ran with that. You now what I mean? And I kept my face out there."
Wall has plenty to show for his tenacity. Aside from his flourishing career and strong fan following, he was nominated for an Emmy last year for his work on the FOX show's seventh season.
What can we expect from All the Right moves?
On his new series, the 24-year-old wants to take it to the next level: Shaping Sound, a dance company co-founded with longtime buddies, So You Think You Can Dance Season 1 winner Nick Lazzarini and dancer-choreographer Teddy Forance.
Two years in the making and spanning five months over its eight episodes, the series follows the guys as they move in together and quickly get to work hiring dancers, ironing out their working relationships and raising capital.
"The money was really the hardest part," he explains of the challenges. "Because you have so many dreams and you want to do so many things that it's hard to find money to do it. And we ended up putting a substantial amount of money of our own into it and the other part was just having power control within the three of us. Our egos were definitely tested in the process."
Watch a preview below from the premiere episode as Wall and his newly formed dance company try to impress potential investors with their first performance.
All the Right Moves premieres Tuesday at 11PM on Oxygen.
Will you be tuning in to see if Travis reaches his goal of his own dance company? Tell us in the comments section below.

Westin got his first professional hair cut! Cody had always done it before but I think he realized he could use some help. Oh my word it had gotten so long and scraggly!
We went to the Walmart toy fair. Westin had so much fun walking around looking at all the toys! He wanted to see this polar bear.
They wore their matching pumpkin shirts to Zach's pumpkin patch party.
Family pic.
I looked out the back door and saw five birds on and around my new feeder. That made me so happy and inspired me to get my fall planting done.
I potted some pansies and orange sedge. I love seeing color when I look out our french doors. I've never planted orange sedge before but the nursery said they will last all winter and come back each year. Obviously I won't let them come back since they are in my pots but it was good to know! I love seeing them blowing in the breeze.
I didn't post these pics on instagram but Westin got his school pictures back. They are TEN times better than his last year pictures where he looked tired, mad and sad. Haha He is at least half way smiling but they didn't read my note where I asked them to comb his hair over. :)
I am loving instagram! I like finding interesting people/celebrities to follow. Do y'all follow anyone fun?

I want to talk about some terrific local theatre, all of which deserves support from us,-the community, as we are lucky enough to be surrounded by such enriching talent. And, of course I need yet another last hurrah, a final bit of hurly-burly regarding the Screen Actors Guild election…
SAG Election
Our community abounds with actors. So, actors, your ballots should have arrived. Please vote. If you lean my way or not, this is the time when SAG can change course; a choice of positive versus negative. It's no secret that I am a sincere supporter of the Unite for Strength group. Ken Howard will make a distinguished, calm and intelligent President of the Screen Actors Guild. Amy Aquino, running for Secretary Treasurer, says, "The go-it-alone approach has wreaked havoc, not only on members' livelihoods but on the Guild itself. The actions of Membership First have seriously weakened SAG financially, saddling us with a $6.5 million deficit. Their year-long delay in negotiating the TV/Theatrical contract, their fight with AFTRA and other reckless decisions has caused deep-rooted fiscal damage. Unite for Strength has begun to address this crisis by resolving SAG's two major contracts, and supporting measures to streamline Guild operations. Going forward, we'll continue to make SAG's financial health a top priority."
It's about time. Visit Unite for Strength to learn their priorities and meet their eminent group of actors running for the SAG Board of Directors. Take the time; it's so vital to the community.
Time for Fun
It's so heartening to see enthusiastic and wonderful community theatre. The Falcon Theatre is a beacon of Toluca Lake. If you haven't been to Garry Marshall's beautiful theatre, I'm sad (find it at 4252 W. Riverside Dr., across from Bob's). The Falcon is now presenting the Troubadour Theater Company's "Oedipus the King, Mama!" It's a maternal musical that mashes up Sophocles' "Oedipus the King" with the music of the King of Rock n' Roll, Elvis. Created by the theater company that is considered "The Masters of Musical Spoofery," and casually known as the Troubies.
MTG is one of my favorite companies. They keep musical theatre alive and awesome. The award-winning Musical Theatre Guild is opening its season with the 1962 Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley musical "Stop the World—I Want to Get Off." The opening performance will take place on Monday, September 14 at 7:30pm at the Alex Theatre in Glendale. A second and final performance will occur on Sunday, September 20 at 3pm at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza's Scherr Forum. Make your plans now; it's worth it! Check out musicaltheatreguild.com and learn about their sweet and admirable history… and their future!
Carol Channing
Carol is a woman who gives herself to her audience and to the community. Here's a chance to see her do both. The Altadena Community Church presents "Carol Channing Raises the Roof!" as a benefit concert for ACC's Roof Repair Fund. An unplugged evening that follows a simple format as Carol Channing offers memories, humorous storytelling and an advance preview of her new gospel CD entitled "For Heaven's Sake" and several of her signature tunes, including "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," "Little Girl From Little Rock" and, of course, "Hello, Dolly!" that bring the audience up close and personal with the ultimate Broadway Baby. Hurry! Don't wait to make your reservations for "Carol Channing Raises the Roof!" on Sunday, September 6th at 7pm. Balcony tickets are $35 dollars for adults and $10 for children 13 and under. Main floor tickets are $75 per ticket. And the opportunity to give and receive the VIP tix, at $125, which includes a reception with Miss Channing is available. For tickets, call (626) 395-9923.
And check on the unstoppable Dr. Carol and her husband Harry at drchanningfoundation.org. Their arts foundation just may bring back the arts in public schools! We'll talk…

According to reports, rising cost of conventional power and the drop in the cost of solar power panels will bring in grid parity in green energy much before the deadline, making it a more attractive choice for users
The cost of solar power is likely to be at par with thermal power within few years, given the rising coal price and excess capacities for solar power equipment manufacture.
"Grid connected solar power, costing near Rs 9 a unit (kwh) two years backhas already dropped to just over Rs 7. It could go down further in a few years," Tarun Kapur, joint secretary for solar power in the ministry of new and renewable energy told Financial Chronicle.
"With India increasingly dependent on imported coal for thermal power generation, the cost will only escalate from present Rs 4.5-5 to over Rs 6 in the coming years," he said adding, "In four to five years, we will achieve grid parity as far as solar power and coal-based thermal electricity are concerned.
Actually it was projected that grid parity for solar power would happen during 2017-19. However, recent trends in the solar power prices signalled that it would happen earlier. This could happen based on two factors – rate of increase in conventional power prices and the rate of decrease in solar power prices.According to Arvind Mahajan, head Energy and Natural Resources, KPMG India, the landed cost of conventional electricity to consumers can increase at the rate of four per cent per annum in the base case and 5.5 per cent per annum in an aggressive case. This factors the increasing proportion of raw material imports, cost of greenfield generation, and higher investments in network assets to improve operational efficiencies of utilities. On the other hand, solar power prices are to decline at the rate of 5-7 per cent per annum. This is after factoring the increasing economies of scale in equipment manufacturing and advancements in product technology which imp-roves solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency. Emergence of low cost manufacturing locations is expected to aid this trend.
With new capacity addition of 944 mw of during the first five months of this financial year, India's cumulative grid-interactive renewable energy installed capacity was about 26,000 mw as on August 31. At about 26 gw, the renewable energy segment accounts for 12-13 per cent of India's total installed generation capacity of about 206,000 mw.
Though wind remains the major contributor with 69 per cent share in total installed green power capacity, solar has been making good progress in the past couple of years. At present, solar accounts for about four per cent of clean power capacity at 1,044 mw. Thanks to National Solar Mission, the total grid connected solar capacity has increased to 1044 mw as of August from 2.5 mw in August 2011.In its big plans to tap solar power, India set up the solar mission two years ago. Under solar mission plans, 1,100 mw of grid connected solar power is expected to be created by 2013. The solar programme actually aims at achieving 20,000 mw by 2022 when it will be one-tenth of India's installed power base then. The overall investment may be about $40 billion for 20,000 mw of solar power projects.
India certainly has made a reasonably good beginning in the solar space and the Indian solar space has seen sharp decline in capital costs over the last two years, primarily driven by the market conditions. The government is targeting 10,000 mw solar power addition during the 12th five year Plan period, and the outlook for the sector is likely to remain robust," Sanjay Chakrabarti, sector leader –– Cleantech, Ernst & Young India, said.
The total installed power capacity in India is likely to be over 400 gw by 2022. Installed solar capacity then would be one-twentieth of the then India's total installed capacity. The share of renewable and particularly solar in country's energy mix would keep increasing and is expected to help in limiting coal-fired power projects while easing the power deficit.
India is blessed with ample sunshine and most part of the country see 300 to 330 sunny days in a year. India receives solar energy equivalent to more than 5,000 trillion kwh per year; this is far more than its total annual energy consumption.
Abundant wasteland is available in Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and many other states where solar power plants can be set up. Just a fourth of the Thar desert in Rajasthan is enough to generate solar power equivalent to the total thermal power generated in the country, that is, around 115,000 mw. India's geographical location, large population and government support are assisting it to become one of the most rapidly emerging solar energy markets.
A big driver of increasing solar installations globally has been a sharp reduction in solar PV module prices. Post the crash in poly-silicon prices in 2008, large scale manufacturing of PV modules has picked-up in China taking advantage of the presence of local raw materials, experience in electronic manufacturing, low labour costs and Government incentive support, said a KPMG report.
Germany is the only country that has achieved grid parity in solar and thermal power, partly because of slightly higher cost of thermal power generation there.
The cost of solar power generation would remain the same over 25 years, Kapur said, adding that solar photovoltaic panels were still expensive. This makes the initial cost of installation slightly higher than that of thermal power. But with excess capacity in photovoltaic panel production in the world, the costs are falling. India now has the capacity to manufacture 1,800-1,900 mw of photovoltaic modules annually. This will only go up.
China has the capacity to manufacture for 50,000 mw worth of photovoltaic equipment a year. Taiwan too has a huge capacity; hence the tendency in India to go in for cheap imports of panels.
While different estimates are available on the extent of mismatch betweensupply and demand and on the timelines for reaching equilibrium, the general consensus is that the oversupply conditions will persist over the next 12 to 24 months, according to Mahajan.
Apart from grid connected solar power generation, there is abundant potential for off-grid solar power generation like on rooftops, according to Kapur. But the biggest problem now is storage of solar power. That's why the government is working on a strategy wherein solar energy could be generated in daytime and wind energy at night when the wind speed is generally higher.
"The aim is to generate 15 per cent of India's power through renewable sources like hydroelectric, wind and solar power," he said. Wind power has caught on and solar is picking up.
The day is not far when solar power is generated on every rooftop and the surplus power will be fed into the grid for which credit will be given to the owner through a system of net metering.

Moving Pictures: Screen Melodrama and Spectatorship
In 2003, Bryn Mawr's Program in Film Studies blossomed in response to the increasing hunger of students to scrutinize the world of visual culture, a culture that is ripe—perhaps overripe—for deconstructing.
The program graduates eight to 12 minors each year. The minor (one introductory, one historical, and one theoretical course required plus three elective courses) reflects both the long tradition of film studies and the new directions in the field. After students have taken the larger intro courses, they are treated to senior seminars in small spaces. The screening rooms of English House provide intimate, softy-lit settings for viewing of scenes and for reflection.
Visiting Assistant Professor Jennifer Horne, who has offered courses in film analysis and film history at the College for four years, also studies the history of film criticism. According to her research, in the United States, the academic study of film can be traced back to the 1920s when courses in film appreciation were first offered at New York University and Columbia University teacher's college and the New School for Social Research.'
"Bryn Mawr is also connected to that history," says Horne. "It was the first institution to host a screening of film from the Museum of Modern Art's circulating film library, in
April 1935."
Since those early days of film appreciation courses, the field has expanded. "It now aims to study all moving images—not just those produced, edited, and distributed on 35mm celluloid and not just those that are produced for entertainment," Horne says.
Horne is writing a book
called Spectators into Citizens: American Film and Civic Discourse, a project tracing the representation of citizenship and political participation in American silent film. Her work has appeared in The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, and Afterimage. She is a member of the National Board of Film Preservation and recently appeared as a guest on WHYY's A Chef's Table to talk about food and film.
Due to the strengths and diversity of the faculty, the Program in Film Studies minor is truly interdisciplinary. Students who want to study a particular national cinema can take courses from faculty who are expert not only in film, but also in that language and culture.

"It's impossible to teach film studies in a vacuum," Horne says, "because film has always, at some level or in some way, had international or
global aspirations. And it's difficult to name a field in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities untouched by film. Either the ideas of that discipline have been expressed in narrative, fictional form or film and video have been used in the processes of laboratory or field research. Understanding how cinema makes arguments or uses rhetoric is a very important skill in any field."
In keeping with Bryn Mawr's tradition of academic excellence, faculty are committed to teaching film that demands close attention not just to form, but to history and theory, with an eye to difficult films that fall outside of the category of escapism.
Horne says that film studies
advances the core values of a liberal education.
"The discipline of film studies," she notes, "is a critical
field of study, not a technological one. We aim to produce students who write persuasively and well about the image culture they are studying. And if we expand our understanding of the field's purpose to include exposing students to alternative realities, diverse visions, and multiple perspectives, it does so even further.
"As a social instrument," she says, "films' powers are unquestionable and dangerous and also potentially liberating."
Moving Pictures
Why teach melodrama? Isn't it just a poor cousin to serious cinema?
According to Horne, the past two decades have seen vigorous debate among critics, theorists and philosophers on the definition of film melodrama, and many argue that melodrama has important political and social significance. Film studies theorist Linda Williams writes in her essay, "The American Melodramatic Mode," that melodrama is "neither archaic nor excessive but a perpetually modernizing form.…By what better name…shall we refer to those novels, stories, stage plays, movies, songs, and media events that move us to sympathy for the suffering of others?…Its genius lies in its protean ability to 'leap' across centuries and media, to make jaded readers, audiences, and viewers thrill to ever new forms of pathos and action."
"Melodrama cuts across all of the different film genres and traditions and every national cinema" says Horne. It is melodrama's ubiquity—as well as its connection to morality—that makes it such a rich source of study.
Horne elaborates on the moral aspects of melodrama: "One idea that comes from Peter Brooks in his influential book The Melodramatic Imagination (which is about theater and literature) is the notion of the 'moral occult' in melodrama. Melodrama takes place in a modern and secular world. Good and evil are clearly and symbolically depicted, but free of non-human spiritual forces. The moral occulting of relations in, for example, D.W. Griffith's Way Down East or Douglas Sirk's All That Heaven Allows, places the drama between individuals entirely in the world of ordinary society. On the other hand, things that happen in this super-real world are also depicted as happening by chance, happenstance, or coincidence suggesting some preternatural order. Often this is where swelling music takes the place of dialogue or rational explanation."
Music in melodrama is a crucial addition to the mise-en-scène of the film, signaling the appropriate emotion for the spectator/viewer. Some theorists also draw a connection between the role of music in the early silent films and the specific sound of the spoken word in "talkies." (Director Howard Hawks trained Lauren Bacall's voice so that she could be given 'male' lines in To
Have and Have Not; her voice then becomes part of the mise-en-scène.)
Along with the romantic orchestral scoring of the soundtrack to signal or heighten emotion, melodrama is marked by missed meetings, sudden conversions, last-minute rescues, and deus ex machina endings, according to theorist Steve Neale, all of which help the viewer empathize with—indeed, suffer with and for—the protagonist/victim. Melodrama is fundamentally about loss, about the "too late," about the "what if" or "if only" the spectator feels at the tragedy unfolding before her.
By focusing on the drama of the "what if," melodrama draws its spectators into an imagined field of action versus non-action. The spectator ponders how she should act having witnessed a drama of loss. Hence, Horne says, "many have argued for [melodrama's] political value as a popular vehicle for the critique of class, race and gender structures" both within the "text" of the film, and within the film industry itself. Bryn Mawr's status as a women's college allows Film Studies students a unique opportunity in which to view and interrogate the highly gender-biased film industry.
Stella Dallas
First a novel (1920), then a movie (1924), then another movie (1937), then a radio serial which aired for 18 years, and finally another movie (1990), the story of Stella Dallas and her love for her daughter finds its pinnacle in the 1937 film starring Barbara Stanwick as the eponymous mother, social climber and swanky dresser.
But the film also marks a turning point in film studies, from defining "women's weepies" as a subgenre of melodrama, to an examination of the idea of "women's film" as a category unto itself.
In Stanwick's brilliant portrayal, Stella Dallas is a complicated mom living in a world that wants uncomplicated mothers. She loves her daughter, Laurel, and in the end, feels she must break from Laurel in order for Laurel to live the good life. It is a heart-breaking film, for Laurel and for the viewer. Having accomplished the separation, a tearful Stella witnesses her daughter's wedding through a window…but then she turns and walks toward the camera and step by step a smile spreads across her tear-stained face. The question becomes, what does that last shot mean? Is she smiling in triumph? Relief? And if so, at what? Having sacrificed herself wholly for her daughter? If she is sacrificed, does she still exist (at least enough to feel triumph)?
In the essay "Melodrama and the Women's Film," Neale writes that debate about the notion of women's films has "usually focused on issues of audience and audience-address, on the extent to which [melodrama] allow[s] for the articulation of a female point of view, and on the extent to which that point of view—and the fate of the female protagonists—may be channeled, distorted, recuperated or dictated by patriarchal contexts of production, circulation
and reception."
In Horne's classroom, students debate the possible explanations for that smile. As soon as one is postulated, another debunks it, and so on. Theorist Jeanine Basinger could easily have been discussing Horne's class when she wrote, "What emerges on close examination of hundreds of women's movies is how strange and ambivalent they really are.…Contradictions abound."
The discussion remains lively as Horne freeze-frames scenes for close examination. Students ponder: What does that pillar represent? What about the handkerchief? What about Stella's diction? Even script flaws are opportunities for ambiguities and hence exploration and discussion. One student dubs the film "a big sea of estrogen." Another points out that "you can't have a mother who is a tart." There is some discussion of wardrobe and lots of laughter.
The End
Horne's students are required to write their final paper on a melodrama found outside the course films/reading. Horne says that topics from previous courses ranged from Desperate Housewives to Mexican telenovelas and Indian film. As well, students have turned their attention to the political, moral and social ramifications of news reporting, in one instance the reportage of the 2005 tsunami.
And typical of the nature of the interdisciplinarity of film studies, Horne's students' concerns range over the textual and extratextual, employ feminist, post-modern and many other analyses, and ultimately remain unsatisfied, the hallmark of open liberal minds.

Deep Metagenomic Sequencing of Multiple Ruminant Guts Reveals Species-specific Microbiomes
Conference Recording May 28, 2013
About the Speaker
Mick Watson is an established bioinformatician, with 15 years experience in industry and academia. He was involved in the implementation and management of pipelines for functional genomics at GlaxoWellcome, SNP discovery at Incyte Genomics and Target Discovery at Paradigm Therapeutics, before joining the Institute for Animal Health as Head of Bioinformatics in 2002. He has been Director of ARK-Genomics since July 2010, and has won several grants to create a bioinformatics research group allied to the ARK-Genomics facility. His group's research focuses on the use of computational and mathematical techniques to understand genome function with an emphasis on systems of relevance to animal health and food security. Publications include both primary bioinformatics research papers and collaborative research in a variety of technical and scientific journals. The outputs from his research have included novel algorithm development, as well as the application of bioinformatics techniques to microbial and meta-genomics.Abstract
Deep metagenomic sequencing of multiple ruminant guts reveals species-specific microbiomes. Ruminant species such as cattle, sheep, deer, goats and reindeer represent a fascinating opportunity to study gut function and metagenomics. With a solely vegetarian diet, the gut microbiome of ruminants is perfectly adapted to digest and gain energy from plant material. However, different animals have different diets (e.g. grass vs lichen) which require different microbes to digest. We have deep-sequenced the rumen gut microbiome of several ruminant species using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 system, generation several hundred gigabases of sequence data in the process. Here we describe bioinformatic investigations into these data, including assembly into large contigs, prediction and annotation of genes and taxon assignment. We show that the vast majority of sequence data comes from as-yet uncharacterized bacterial species, representing huge potential for discovery of novel enzymes. Finally, we show that ruminants can be clustered together according to their gut microbiome structure and species abundance.

Wolf Trap Light in Chesapeake Bay
Whether you are in the market for a unique waterfront property, a next-level defense outpost or simply enjoy rad buildings with a bit of history, you will want to take a minute to check out the awesomeness of Wolf Trap Light, a historic caisson lighthouse found off the west shore of Chesapeake Bay, VA. Built in 1894 to replace a screwpile lighthouse swept away by ice floes, Wolf Trap Light has admittedly succumbed a bit to the effects of Father Time; however, if you're anything like me, your head is already spinning with ideas for the $288,000 aquatic fort - a feeling that is only compounded by listing notes that tease of a structure -built to withstand extreme weather.?
Update: Reader Tom brings word that Wolf Trap Light has been reduced in price and can now be had for $249,500. Thanks, Tom!
Starting from the top and working our way down the five-floor structure, we begin with the lantern and the light itself, which is, in fact, in working condition. The next floor is a one-room watchtower, followed by third-floor sleeping quarters that offer a total of three separate bedrooms. Next stop is fourth-level main floor, which includes kitchen, living and bath facilities, along with an exterior deck and walkway. The fifth and final floor is used primarily for storage and brandishes a bit of nautical flair with portholes in place of windows.
In total, Wolf Trap Light measures some 1,500-square-feet, but that's not all: a waterfront lot on Horn Harbor, with permits for a pier and a boat lift, are also included in the list price.

I have been reading reviews since I got my first tummy tuck in Aug. 2011. I was so happy with the results the first couple of month but then realized that I needed a revision. After 6 months, I returned to having a pooch and my scar was dark and thick. The picture I provided is while I am laying down so you can't see my pooch. I went to a few doctors to get different opinions because my surgeon kept telling me it was a seroma and that my scar will get better with time. I didn't want to believe him.
I chose another doctor to do my revision. He informed me that it was not a seroma. It was extra skin. The first doctor didn't pull me tight enough. The scar was dark and thick because my body didn't want to absorb the sutures basically I had a bad reaction to the sutures. I went in for a revision 8 months after my first tt April 2012. I am 3 month post op and I am happy with my results. I will have to do steriod injections in my bb scar or revise my bb scar as it opened up after a week after surgery but I dont care it was worth doing the revision. My stomach is flat.

Addressing the challenges of small communities
A regional conference is being planned this spring in Annapolis County to address the issues facing rural economies.
Gregory Heming, president of the Centre For Local Prosperity, says the conference, Local Prosperity: New Economics for Rural Canada, is scheduled to take place next April 9 through April 12 at a mix of Annapolis-based venues, including the Annapolis Basin Conference Centre and the Annapolis Royal Regional Academy.
"Finding solutions to the increasing economic, social and ecological disintegration of small rural communities may seem difficult, but practical and achievable solutions are possible," said Heming.
Centre For Local Prosperity is a nonprofit group based in Annapolis County that aims to initiate projects and activities that will build a more prosperous community. The group is looking at ideas generated from other small communities that have successfully met their challenges.
The conference's first day features a full day of workshops and classes aimed at providing tools and inspiration. More than 25 local, national and international speakers and facilitators will present over the three days.
"The conference is intended for anyone inspired to revitalize their community," says Heming. Farmers, fishermen, foresters, community leaders, industry leaders and small business owners are invited.

Rand Paul Versus Bernard Sanders On CIA Spying Against The US Senate
Here we are, a full day since the news that the CIA has been conducting illegal spy operations against the United States Senate. In reaction to the revelations yesterday, our writer J. Clifford speculated that the issue could enter the 2016 presidential election, with libertarian Republican Rand Paul and independent Bernard Sanders taking special interest as presidential candidates who are also U.S. senators.
So, now that the two senators have had over 24 hours to respond to the scandal, how do they compare?
Bernard Sanders made the issue his most prominent statement today, with a message about the "CIA Cover Up In Torture Probe". Sanders spoke in strong condemnation of the criminal surveillance against Congress by the CIA, writing, "A conflict between the Central Intelligence Agency and the Senate Intelligence Committee boiled over Tuesday when Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the panel chairwoman and one of the CIA's staunchest defenders, accused the CIA of withholding information about its use of torture in the interrogation of prisoners. She also accused the spy agency of trying to intimidate committee staff members investigating the interrogation program. To Sen. Bernie Sanders, the revelation was "another sign that our intelligence community is out of control and that there must be greater oversight by Congress," the Rutland Herald and Times Argus reported. Earlier this year, in response to a question from Sanders, the National Security Agency did not expressly deny spying on Congress."
Rand Paul, on the other hand, doesn't really seem to care about big government abuses of the separation of powers and the fourth amendment to the Constitution. As seen on his U.S. Senate web site, Paul has not issued any formal statement on the issue. He's been officially silent on the matter. The last statement of any kind that Rand Paul had to make was a commentary about different methods of interpreting the foreign policy of Ronald Reagan, who was President three decades ago.
Way to keep up to date with the issues, Rand Paul. Bernard Sanders wins on this issue, hands down.
