While I'm not one of them, there are plenty of Star Wars fans out there that simply wish Star Wars had remained just one movie. It was intended that way, in fact, before it became so successful that a sequel was planned. And even then, the original plans for a sequel were for it to be an entirely unrelated story without any Skywalkers involved. Alas, that's not what happened, and here we stand with one of the most beloved sagas in movie history.
Back in the day, Marvel published an ongoing Star Wars series that continued the events of the original movie, which sounds like what Dark Horse is doing here. Dubbed simply Star Wars, the ongoing series will release in January, written by Brian Wood with interior art by Carlos D'Anda and a first issue cover (a portion of which you can see below) by Alex Ross. i09 broke the news with an interview with Star Wars editor Randy Stradley, and the book sounds quite interesting indeed.
"This is the Star Wars series for everyone who has loved the films, but has never delved into any of the comics or novels," explained Stradley. "There is no vast continuity that a reader needs to know beyond the events in A New Hope. This is the beginning of the adventures of Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie."
He continued, "Brian Wood is exploring aspects of the characters and their relationships that have, in many ways, been glossed over in the past, or shoved aside in favor of big action set pieces. Don't get me wrong, this series has plenty of action, but all of it is informed by, or springs out of, the characters' reactions to events in A New Hope. Remember, Luke is, quite literally, a farm boy thrust into the front lines of a galactic war. He may be the guy who blew up the Death Star, but that doesn't immediately prepare him for his new situation. And Leia, well, she's been so busy running the Rebellion, has she even had a moment to grieve for the loss of her family or her homeworld? And what does holding in all that emotion do to a person? Brian is using those emotions to propel his story, which makes reading this series a more satisfying experience than simply dogfights in space."
Stradley goes on to talk at length about coordinating continuity with Lucasfilm, so I presume these stories will be seen as canon for the Expanded Universe. You can check out more with Stradley (and some interior pages too) over at i09.
Brian Wood posted the news on his blog as well, saying, "Oh yeah, Leia's an X-Wing pilot." Expect more to be revealed about Dark Horse's Star Wars plans this weekend at San Diego Comic-Con.

After a month of anticipation it's always an odd feeling when Christmas is over. I do however, get to hold on to it a little longer as our tree is still up and the family is in town until Sunday!
It snowed last Friday but the rain and temperatures in the high forties melted it away. This is what allowed me to be comfortable in jeans and a sweater while downtown with my mom and sisters!
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

Amphedrine Review
Amphedrine is an all natural supplement meant for greater weight loss results. With Amphedrine¸ you will finally be able to increase intense energy and fat loss for serious dieters. With Amphedrine, you will finally be able to get the most powerful option that you could find anywhere, and it will help you to get the formula that cannot be beat.
With Amphedrine, you will finally be able to transform your body to get the results that you want. And they say that you will be able to change everything about the results that you can get. They say that Amphedrine will go far beyond all possible expectations. But the question is, does Amphedrine actually work?
Amphedrine ingredients include l-lysine-4-hydroxyephedrine HCL, methyl-hordenine HCL, syenphrine, synthetic 99% guggulsterones E&Z, yohimbine HCL, caffeine anhydrous, and bioperine.
The Truth
Amphedrine will not help you to lose weight. With Amphedrine¸ you get a formula that has ingredients like synephrine. Synephrine has a powerful effect on the body, helping you to burn fat like ephedrine. It has the same chemical cousin benefits such as fat burning and appetite suppression. With Amphedrine, you also get ingredients like guggulsterones, which can help you to build more lean muscle mass. However, the problem is that they do not actually have the right amounts of said ingredients. They do not have any clinically proven amounts. So none of this really makes a difference. And yet, it can still cause some side effects related to caffeine. When it comes to Amphedrine, you also get yohimbine, which is a natural aphrodisiac that does not actually promote weight loss. But it has been associated with heart attacks, strokes, and renal failure.
We would not recommend using Amphedrine. It does not help you to lose any weight, and it does not help you to achieve any results. With Amphedrine, you will not actually get the clinically proven amounts of anything. When it comes to Amphedrine, there are plenty of caffeine related side effects. But there are no real benefits. When it comes to Amphedrine, there are far too many problems and no results. So obviously enough, we would definitely recommend using something other than Amphedrine. It has serious side effects, even leading to death in some people. Obviously, heart attacks and strokes are not acceptable. But without weight loss, it goes far beyond that to say the least, and you would be far better off using something else.

Everyday Health to share content with Yahoo! Health
Waterfront Media's Everyday Health Network announced today that it will provide content to Yahoo! Health under a new partnership.
The deal will provide Yahoo! Health with content from several of the Everyday Health Network sites, including WhatToExpect.com, a parenting and pregnancy site, and SouthBeathDiet.com, among others.
"We're very excited," Mike Keriakos, president and co-founder of Waterfront Media, told MM&M. "Yahoo! Health is powering a substantial amount of content," said Keriakos, noting that the company hopes the partnership will translate into unique viewers on the Everyday Health Network portfolio of sites—in numbers "significantly north of a million," according to Keriakos.
Yahoo! Health will have access to any current and future content provided by the Everyday Health Network, with attributions and links back to the relevant Waterfront Media sources, the company stated in a release.
Keriakos cited comScore numbers in support of Everyday Health's predominant position over WebMD, in terms of unique visitors—at least for the moment. "We're highly confident that we'll be ahead of WebMD during 4Q and 1Q," said Keriakos, noting that he can't predict what kinds of acquisitions or other initiatives WebMD might roll out in order to compete for viewers.
Yahoo! Health is the sixth largest online health site, according to September 2008 comScore data.

European Psychiatric Congress (EPA) to be held in Warsaw in 2019!
Over 3000 European and international psychiatrists and experts will visit the capital of Poland for 4 days in April 2019, in order to exchange their knowledge and discuss the issues of mental healthcare. The EPA Congress is organised annually in different European cities and every year a number of destinations apply to host this event. In 2016, EPA took place in Madrid, Spain and the next edition will be held in Florence, Italy. Warsaw and EXPO XXI won the bid to host this congress in 2019.
With active individual members in as many as 88 countries and 40 National Society/Association Members who represent more than 78,000 European psychiatrists, the European Psychiatric Association is the main association representing psychiatry in Europe. EPA deals with psychiatry and its related disciplines and it focuses on the improvement of care for the mentally ill as well as on the development of professional excellence. In order to reach these goals, EPA gradually set up the organisation of the annual European Congress of Psychiatry.
For 1,5 year EXPO XXI together with Warsaw Convention Bureau have put a great deal of effort to host EPA Congress in the capital of Poland. Warsaw CVB coordinated the site inspection in July 2016 and assisted to gain the support of the city authorities in the form of complimentary venue for the gala dinner in the Palace of Culture and Science and free public transport tickets for the congress delegates.
The representatives of EPA who came to Warsaw this year were amused by the city's diversity and modernity, it's professional infrastructure , reach cultural heritage and safety.

How thoughtful of you to help your mom through this procedure! I would suggest Amber for pain relief, Fluorite for speedy healing, and Amethyst for healing as well.

By the time you read this, the University of Wisconsin may have already played its first football game. If that is not the case, then tonight, Sept. 1, we find out if all the hype attached to this edition of the Badgers is warranted when they take on the University of Nevada (Las Vegas) at Camp Randall stadium to open a milestone 2011 season.
In our cover story this week, "Home-Field Advantage," staffer Jason Joyce prepares us for the season by investigating the phenomenon of the "Wisconsin Kid." Now that's not someone necessarily born and bred in Wisconsin. It refers rather to the preferred psychological makeup of the player that Badger coaches seek - hard working and humble. The team's relative success in recent years may be attributable in part to character, but there are a lot of factors that go into a winning season, up to and including strength-giving milkshakes.
But the big news this season, one that makes it a milestone, is the addition of a 12th team to the Big Ten, leading to the formation of two six-team divisions within the conference named, mysteriously, the Leaders and the Legends. After bumping along with an awkward 11-team configuration for more than a decade, the conference added perennial powerhouse Nebraska. The Cornhuskers play the Badgers in their first-ever Big Ten conference match-up on Oct. 1 at Camp Randall.
With 12 teams, the conference has instituted a championship game, again the first ever, which will pit the two division leaders in Indianapolis on Dec. 3. Since the implosion of the Ohio State football program, the Badgers are favored to take the Legends division and could very well meet Nebraska again in that championship game. But there are 10 other teams that will contend during the season, and nothing is preordained. As they say, that's why they play the games.

Justice Sujata Manohar on how the Biotechnology Bill is fundamentally flawed
IN THE last few years, regulatory systems across the board have been undergoing an overhaul to fit the needs of a new era. Likewise, new laws are being chalked out to meet new needs, and several are receiving flak owing to the loopholes and regressive grounds on which these have been drafted. The relatively more recent one to regulate modern biotechnology is one such case.
This year marks 10 years of commercialisation of Bt cotton, the only commercially cultivated genetically modified (GM) crop in India. Yet there is no effective regulatory mechanism in place to assess their necessity or the long term safety of GM crops, especially food crops, their impact on health, nor a balance sheet being drawn up of benefits versus detriment.
Earlier in June 2004, the Task Force on Application of Biotechnology in Agriculture, led by MS Swaminathan, recommended the setting up of an 'autonomous, statutory and professionally-led National Biotechnology Regulatory Authority' (NBRA) that would have 'two separate wings — one dealing with food and agricultural biotechnology, and the other with medical and pharmaceutical biotechnology.' The previous drafts of a biotechnology legislation have fallen short of its intended outcomes more than once, and following several rounds back and forth, it has been renamed as the BRAI (Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India) and is being brought back to Parliament, once again in a far from satisfactory state.
Proposed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the draft BRAI Bill, 2011 does not justify a new legislation, when effective changes in the existing framework — the 1989 Rules issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests — could well be made. In fact, its handling by the Ministry of Science and Technology alone without the association of other ministries dealing with food, agriculture or health is itself a cause for concern.
An assessment titled 'BRAI Bill: A Threat to Our Food And Farming' by Supreme Court lawyer Ritwick Dutta ,brought out recently by Greenpeace, underscores that given the serious and possibly irreversible risks genetically modified organisms are associated with, the overall focus of a regulatory regime of this nature should be based on a precautionary approach/principle. In the current draft, however, the approach is adaptive, going on the assumption that modern biotechnology is to be considered necessary and a fait accompli. India is a signatory to the Cartagena Protocol, which means we are under the obligation to ensure that our domestic laws are in compliance with the provisions of the Protocol. While the preamble of the Bill mentions this obligation, it fails to reflect it in letter and spirit.
This piece of legislation also circumvents the RTI Act, 2005 curtailing bio-safety information to the public, and safeguarding the interest of commercial entities over larger public interest. Given that the RTI already has provisions for safeguarding information pertaining to 'commercial confidence, trade secrets or intellectual property', this clause is not only unnecessary but one which completely disregards larger public interest. Likewise, public participation in decision making has been restricted to only once at the time of the final decision. Since the effects of biotechnology are far reaching, and there is little public confidence in GMOs owing to growing concerns from across the world, public participation in decision making should be made mandatory.
As regards food safety, doctors have sounded warnings and aware consumers across the world are rejecting GM foods. Down to Earth magazine says that genetically modified food is even banned at a canteen of the biggest GM seed producer, Monsanto. The Granada Group, which runs the canteen, says, 'We have taken the above steps to ensure that you, the customer, can feel confidence in the food we serve.' A Monsanto spokesperson said that this was done because the firm believes in choice. For the consumers in India to have the choice, it is necessary that all products using GM crops should mandatorily state on the package that GM crops are a part of the ingredients. This entails compulsory packaging and proper monitoring. This is not feasible in a country where most food is sold unpackaged.
The essential role of the state governments in such vital decision making is now proposed to be reduced to a recommendatory capacity, as specified under Clause 35 of the Bill, despite the fact that agriculture is a state issue. One of the key roles of BRAI is to consider applications for initiating research, transport, import and use or manufacture of GMOs. Moreover, a significant number of these applications would be forwarded by the Department of Biotechnology housed under the Ministry of Science and Technology. When the promoter is also the regulator, there is potential for an inherent conflict of interest.
ONE OF the key parameters based on which Bt brinjal was put on a moratorium in 2010, was the absence of independent, long-term tests. This has been completely overlooked in the BRAI. Given the inherent, irreversible and potentially adverse effects of GMOs, these criteria should be made a requisite before taking a decision to introduce GM crops. Jairam Ramesh had wisely stated that India should adopt such technologies as genetic engineering only where alternatives do not exist.
Finally, whether a GMO should be considered for environmental release or not should be based on the Polluter Pays Principle ensuring absolute liability for harm to the environment. The manufacturer and the promoter should compensate victims of pollution as well as pay up for restoring the environment in case of damage. The resistance that GM crops have faced in other countries from consumers and farmers, environmentalists, human rights activists and even from governments, makes India's enormous seed market of prime interest to GM seed corporates. The contention that high costs of patented Bt cotton seeds and false representations regarding their performance have contributed to increasing debts and despair of farmers needs to be investigated, and severe penalties affixed. Similarly the health and environmental impacts need to be studied. There is no necessity to rush through a Bill that has the potential to empower a small group of persons to clear genetically modified crops which could irreversibly impact consumer health, the economics of small farmers and the environment.
There is little doubt that the Bill needs to be redrafted before being considered for tabling in the Parliament, and for which widespread consultations with all the relevant stakeholders by a broad-based committee should be done as a priority.
Justice Sujata Manohar is a former Supreme Court judge. The views expressed here are personal.

How have the club performed this season?
As a whole, it's been a solid but unspectacular season. The club have not kicked on in the way that we had hoped after losing a lot of players last year. The 1s and 2s have struggled to compete against the very best in their divisions and finished 5th and 4th respectively. The 3s have been the most successful side, having a good season coming second and a long cup run. It has been an average season but each team has a point to prove in their Roses clashes.
What do you expect from Lancaster?
After last year's success- being unbeaten and not conceding a goal in any game- the club expects to find Lancaster sides with a point to prove. They will be physically strong and mentally fired up, especially with the backing of their home fans. The 1s were drawn together in the cup this season which York won fairly comfortably at home but the away fixture is always more difficult, especially with the smaller pitches. Expect a fiery and volatile atmosphere.
Which individual players could stand out?
In the 1s side, fresher and Player of the Year, Tom Gamble will add composure, strength and stability as he anchors the midfield. His astute positioning and ability to pick a pass provides our incisive attacking threats with licence to express themselves. For the 2s, the quality of Angus Maney and the mercurial Billy Bruce will be key. Either of them could provide the creativity that has occasionally been missing this year.
Why should people come and watch the football?
Promising fast, free-flowing football, plenty of goals and drama and possibly a scrap or two if Jeremy Nestor has his way, the football is not an event to be missed. Being away in Lancaster, the support for the White Rose will be even more important and hopefully help achieve as much success as last year.

At this time of year there's always a scramble to find good omens for Roses; in the case of men's football, you don't have to look very far. Earlier in the season, a brace from Josh Bew- passed fit for the trip to Lancaster- and further goals from Garo Heath and Dom McCormack sent UYAFC Firsts to a 4-2 victory in the second round of the Conference Cup. Okay, this might have been back in November, but the White Rose must take any psychological advantage they can into Friday's fixture.
Red Rose Report: Chris Bickley, SCAN Sports Editor
Our firsts want to avenge the cup defeat to York in what was ultimately a Roses sparring match, but it also means that we know what to expect.
Nouse Verdict
In the context of the last few years, last year's Roses was a superb one for UYAFC. The 2-0 win sealed by the Seconds sparked some of the most memorable scenes of what was an exceptional weekend.
The Firsts game, watched by a snarling crowd, quickly descended into a scrap and Lancaster had some success in disrupting York's passing game with physical play. They will almost certainly look to outmuscle the visitors again and will rely on guts rather than guile.
The loss of physical players in the defence and midfield means that less combative characters, such as Tom Shelbourn, Jeremy Nestor and Matt Coathup will have to step up and match the hosts blow-by-blow. It might be worth throwing the likes of Alex Ingham and Dalton Harris in the mix in anticipation of a physical encounter.
Josh Bew, favourite to start in the lone striker role, has been passed fit but may yet miss out due to degree commitments; his experience could be key. If the White Rose can get the ball wide to Garo Heath and Eddie Fotheringham- which they failed to do last year- they will have earned the chance to prove they can break the Lancaster defence down for the second time this season.
The Seconds will be without both centre-backs in captain Euan Bell and Ollie Marsh, absences that may also take their toll on the team's ability to compete physically. Without their nous, the presence of Andrew Naylor in midfield will become all the more important.
It's not been an easy BUCS campaign for any of UYAFC's teams- they don't have the winning habit- but they have a real chance to put down a marker and earn some keynote victories for York.

My job the prophet; I can see the future and make money off it
The solution to that was to set up an automatic monthly payment, but you only have two options; pay the full amount each month or pay the minimum amount each month. I didn't want to pay the full amount in case I want to split payments of something over a few months, so I set a payment up for the minimum payment so that at least I wouldn't get any late payment fees. Thing is…when the bill comes in even though I have the minimum covered I still never got around to paying more on top, so only ever paid the minimum and that's the interest for that month plus a few shekels. If you only ever paid the minimum amount then it would take forever to pay off the full bill, but I suppose that's what the credit card company want, they want you to never be free of their debt. It's not so bad for me as it's purely my own fault I'm only paying the minimum, but if you could only afford to pay the minimum you'll be saddled with that outgoing forever as the debt will never be cleared. Such an immoral way of running a business.
The craziest thing about all this is that I do actually have the money to pay my bill in full, I'm just such an awful procrastinator that I never get around to dealing with it. I don't know why, it's just that when it comes to these things everything else suddenly seems a more important use of my time. So I decided that when my bill next came in I was going to pay it off in full. Well…that was last month :) This month I made the same decision and this morning the bill was on my doormat so I went to work as normal, went to the gym as normal, and getting back from the gym all full of vigour I tore that bill open, grabbed my phone and I paid it in full. Finally! In debt to you robbing bastards no more!
Now that they're making nothing a month from me I wonder what their following gambit is going to be. I suspect next month I'll get a letter from them telling me what a marvellous customer I am, how they value me, so they have generously decided to increase my credit limit along with some suggestions about what I could use it for. New car? Dream holiday? Well no luck because I'm on holiday already; from your charges.

Oh yeah...
I had the minimum payment set up on all 10 of my cards but, as you say, that just knocks a couple of pounds off at most, assuming you don't spend any more of course.
But I was spending all my income on my mortgage and minimum payments and still needed to buy non-essentials like food and petrol. Solution? Put day-to-day costs on the cards too. Not really a solution.. it all came grinding to a halt and I'm now on a debt management plan paying £400+ per month for the next 8 years (and that's with the interest frozen!)
Credit card companies are evil. Yes, it's my fault I spent so much but I was suffering and that was the easiest way to ease the pain. I'm not very good at keeping the big picture in mind and this situation kinda crept up on me (still can't really believe it now).
Anyway, at least I'm back on a cash-only basis again. I haven't quite worked out what I'm going to do about my mortgage but one thing is certain. I'll never take out another credit card again. Cash or nothing from now on.

Three new cases of Ash Dieback disease
Three new cases of the Ash Dieback disease have been discovered in west Wales. Forestry Commission Wales say it was found at three newly-planted sites in private woodlands during a "trace forward" inspection of young trees sourced from known infected nurseries.
The three latest confirmed infections in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion bring the total sites in Wales to 17. Forestry Commission Wales staff are checking all known recent ash plantings to establish the full extent of the outbreak, which has yet to be discovered beyond new planting sites in Wales.
John Browne, FC Wales Head of Forest Regulation and Tree Health, said "While these newly confirmed infections have extended the known distribution of this disease in Wales, there is still no evidence that Chalara is present in the wider environment here."
The disease was first recorded in Britain in early 2012 in Leicestershire and is known to have spread to the wider environment in the south-east of England from spores which are believed to have been blown across the English Channel and North Sea.
According to a census of Wales' forests last year, there are 17,600 hectares of ash in Wales which represents 6.8% of the woodlands in the country.

Norwegian Investments in Latvia Video
Norwegian investments in Latvia are increasingly growing and you can look at some of the most successful shown in this video.
Today Norway is the 4th largest investor in Latvia with 600 million EUR direct investment in service, retail, manufacturing and other industries. Norwegian and Latvian cooperation has resulted in new shopping centres, book printing shops, high-end electronics production and much more.
Norway is not alone here in Latvia, some of the biggest retailers in country are Scandinavian, take supermarket chain Rimi, for example, it entered Latvian market in 1990s and now can be found in every city, same goes for Narvesen kiosk franchise. Linstow Center Management is the operator of some of the biggest shopping centres in Riga.
Manufacturing sector just like retail can be found outside the capital Riga. Norplast is a company producing mostly maritime equipment like boats and water safety equipment and can be found in Saldus, western Latvia. Heading back to capital city we have Livonia Print, a printing plant and bindery, that has produced more than 25 million books to this day.
Those following the latest news also know that Norwegian company Orkla has acquired some of the biggest Latvian sweets and confectionery producers, one of them – legendary brand Laima, that takes up 30% of the local chocolate market and with successful marketing campaigns contributing to Laima's popularity between tourists, this brand will gain more recognition in Baltic and Nordic region.
Considering that Latvian economy's projected growth is one of the highest in EU we can expect more investment and more Norwegian companies in this Baltic country.

George Lucas routinely ignores fans who beg him not to tweak his beloved "Star Wars" films any more than he already has.
But Lucas couldn't ignore the growing chorus of naysayers about his proposed movie studio in Marin County. Lucas's group announced this week it will withdraw plans to create the massive production facility and will seek a new site for it.
The stunning move cheered project foes who called the ranch site near their homes the wrong place for a film production studio with a footprint the size of two football fields. But county officials and business interests were devastated, noting the project promised to energize the Marin economy, providing millions in revenue and hundreds of jobs.
"We have several opportunities to build the production stages in communities that see us as a creative asset, not as an evil empire, and if we are to stay on schedule we must act on those opportunities," Lucasfilm said it a statement headlined, "Lucasfilm pulls building plans out of Marin."
"The level of bitterness and anger expressed by the homeowners in Lucas Valley has convinced us that, even if we were to spend more time and acquire the necessary approvals, we would not be able to maintain a constructive relationship with our neighbors," the firm owned by billionaire filmmaker George Lucas added.

From pianos to piccolos to timpani, Yamaha supplies the world's musicians with quality instruments. When its customers have questions or issues, they turn to a variety of channels to seek assistance. Whether they're tweeting, calling, or sending an email, customers can expect a quick and consistent response, thanks to Yamaha's transformation to a Social Enterprise—the business equivalent of a finely tuned orchestra.
It all started several years ago, when Yamaha recognised the need to become a more customer-centric company. Since then, the multi-industry corporation has been realising a cultural shift, including an initiative to improve social interactions with customers and streamline internal processes.
On the marketing and customer experience side of things, social initiatives weren't anything new at Yamaha. The company even had processes to hand off customers' issues uncovered on social channels. But it was far from seamless. "Trying to pass customer issues from social media to customer service involved a painful hodge podge of systems and processes," says Jeff Hawley, Director of Customer Experience.
The solution has been to dramatically streamline the path from Yamaha's social channels to service agents with help from salesforce.com's Service Cloud. "We essentially socialised the contact centre and the entire service experience," says Hawley. If someone tweets about a problem with an instrument, Yamaha doesn't treat it any differently than any other channel—it's converted to a case just as if the person called the company for help. "Customers don't care about channels and process," continues Hawley. "They just want their questions answered and their issues resolved quickly."
Customers today also expect companies to know them and remember their history. Consolidated customer profiles stored in Salesforce help Yamaha keep track of customers and their various social and non-social interactions.
Operating as a Social Enterprise has many direct benefits for customers. Rick Williams, Manager of Customer Support, says customers also benefit indirectly from how much happier Yamaha's customer service agents are with their new, less complex process. "If an agent is happy, there's going to be a happy customer on the other end of that interaction." And that's music to Yamaha's ears.
Ask about Salesforce products, pricing, implementation, or anything else — our highly trained reps are standing by, ready to help.

Planting a Motown in San Francisco
Once the Bay Area music scene, with San Francisco at its center, flourished. With the late business-savvy concert promoter Bill Graham at the helm, five great bands on any given night would grace a venue's stage and jam for hours. Musicians lived communally, sharing ideas as well as the occasional sweet licks. But now, according to Arne Frager, owner of the legendary Plant Recording Studios in Sausalito, Calif., "The Bay Area music scene is now at a low ebb."
Frager is an apt person to cast the judgment. The Plant Studios, located in a modest building off Sausalito's main thoroughfare, Bridgeway, remains a prime recording location for an eclectic group of top-notch musicians. Past recording artists have included the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley and both Jefferson Airplane and its later incarnation Jefferson Starship. Recent recordings to have come out of the Plant include String Cheese Incident's Untying the Not, Carlos Santana's Supernatural and Phil Lesh and Friends' There and Back Again. The Plant's mastering engineer John Cuniberti just finished mixing Tea Leaf Green's new album and Joe Satriani's latest offering is currently in the works.
Frager, 61, has decided to no longer wax nostalgic for the lost community of a once effervescent music scene. Instead he spends his days working toward a romantic vision: "Our goal is to turn the Bay Area back into a mecca for great new music." At the center of his vision are the Plant Recording Studios and a brand-new artist development company. Still a work in progress, the tentative title of the company is Indygenus, reflecting the intention of the company to draw from the talent pool in "the greater Bay Area," from San Jose to Sacramento." Frager is building a core of partners to launch the company.
From inside the trailer, which he uses as his office, located adjacent to the back of the studios, he sat behind his desk, Don Henley music pouring out from a stereo, looking like an old rocker with his closely cropped white hair and carefully trimmed goatee. Recent albums done by the studio line the front of his large desk. His plans are rather expansive and ambitious (some may say romantic and slightly na) as he wants to push forward where many today are cutting back. "We are going to start signing acts. It's going to be a management firm. We intend to build careers and develop artists. We want to be a mecca for new talent. We don't want to be the one who just does the superstars. We see our future as being an artist development company that really finds talent, helps that talent grow, builds a marketing plan for them, puts them on tour, manages their careers, gets their first two or three records out, then maybe allow a major record label to come in."
The Plant itself seems prepared for Frager's vision. "As the Plant is currently configured it's a record company waiting to happen," he said. "You can walk into the front with a song idea in your head, and you can walk out the back with a final master on a CD."
Still hashing out ideas, Frager envisions a variety of methods to expose new young talent. One idea is to use the studios' radio show, "Live From the Plant," which is carried by San Francisco's KFOG, and syndicate the program around the nation. He also plans to network with music venues around the Bay Area, to help get bands places to jam. Frager hopes the business venture will go a long way toward revitalizing the camaraderie among the area's musicians. He plans to host community-based events both on-site and off, while fostering a club-like atmosphere inside the Plant.
"The whole idea is, we want to rebuild the music scene that was once really vital and very exciting in the Bay Area," said Frager. "It is not that there isn't great music being made here, but there was a sense of community in the '60s and '70s. Now people are all working in their own little corners of the Bay Area. There are not much of those community-building events."
So what happened to the music scene? Frager believes a number of factors contributed to its fall. "I think if you look at the '60s and '70s and '80s, even in the early '90s, there was a tremendous amount of terrific talent that became well seen and identified with the Bay Area. But when you look at the late 1990's and the 2000's, a lot of the good new talent has moved away."
Frager said many Bay Area musicians immigrated to Los Angeles, opting for the larger music scene down south. He added that the Bay Area is no longer an inexpensive place to live. "The cost of living here makes it very prohibitive for new young talent to stay here — housing is very high, jobs are very scarce."
Frager laments that every day there are fewer places for rock 'n' rollers to jam. "Live clubs are closing. When it comes to live music, places like Austin and Nashville have a great deal more going on than San Francisco.
Then there was Clear Channel's purchase of Bill Graham Productions. Frager said the deal was another sign of a music community gone by the wayside. "Early in his career, when Bill Graham put out his big-name acts he would include a local band. Bill Graham had a lot of things he did that helped local bands. He helped foster a scene, and also created a community feel. It wasn't just the Jefferson Airplane, there would also be the Grateful Dead on the bill and all these other bands." Frager will borrow a few pages from Graham. In his words, he wants to "pump up the business of live events for unknowns."
It is the music community Frager gets most passionate about. "Lately, you don't have the sense of community. What we want to do is rebuild the community. Not only the whole music scene in the Bay Area, but make the Plant a place where bands can come, where they can afford to record, have a rehearsal. We are going to build a clubhouse environment, where bands can rehearse and work out material, and do arrangements and pre-productions fairly inexpensively."
That is the key, slashing the studios' prices for local young bands that have yet to cut a record or have done a couple on their own, in their basements or garages.
Frager came into the Plant Studios some 15 years ago. He brought with him a history of studio work and artist development. In 1973, he started in Los Angeles as a recording engineer and record producer. He soon built a recording studio on Venice Beach, which he held onto for nine years. He had two more studios in Los Angeles over the years, both in Hollywood. When he arrived in Marin County, he felt the loss of not having his own facility nearby. He ran into Bob Skye, the then owner of the Plant. The two became business partners.
The Plant studios had seen better times. The facilities were just recovering from government ownership. The Federal Bureau of Investigation took over the Plant in a drug seizure. The previous owner was manufacturing Methamphetamines in a home outside of Sacramento. One day 25 police officers came in and busted the place, said Frager. "And for a year and half the U.S. government owned and operated the place." "Club Fed" T-shirts became a fashion for locals.
Skye came in and bought the Plant from the United States government as the high bidder. In 1993, Frager purchased his partner's share and has remained its sole owner ever since. Over the last 15 years, he has funneled more than $8 million into the studios, mostly for equipment and remodeling.
Frager has been plotting this next move for more than a year. Last year, he began paying off the Plant's equipment debt and began the process of acquiring the property. "Doing these things lowers costs of operations rather dramatically," he said. "When all that is done we will have reduced operation costs and that means we can then make costs more affordable for the bands because it costs less for us to pay the bills."
Frager does not see himself in competition with other record labels. Instead he views the system of business he is creating as the wave of the future.
He draws his inspiration in part from the fact that major record companies today do little in terms of artist development. "The big corporations are now motivated by the bottom line. If a record doesn't go platinum they are not too thrilled about it."
He told a story about Ben Harper. Frager called up a connection of his at Virgin records. The voice on the other end said, "Too bad about the Harper album." "What do you mean? The album was great," Frager said. "Yeah, but it only sold 350,000 units. It was a disaster for Virgin Records."
"How could it be a disaster?" wondered Frager. He explains that those 350,000 units represent a loss for major labels because they spend so much money on radio promotion and advertising.
By contrast Frager feels that the future of music is vested with the independent labels "who will make it work financially to help the artists. The artists won't make millions right away, but will be able to make a living and build their craft," he said
Frager believes his company will have its success by not mirroring the business model of other record companies. "Right now the going formula for releasing a single song to a major commercial radio channel is $300,000," he said. "We are not going to follow that model because that model that the major labels are using is not working for them. It is a dead model. It is not helping much of anybody."
While other small labels currently are pushing forward with some the same ideas, often aided by the internet, another aspect of the Plant that's bound to excite young bands is its history. A few years ago Robert Hunter, walked into the Plant's Studio B looked around and went, "Wait a minute, this is where we did Wake of the Flood,' When Santana was recording Supernatural in Studio B (which is designed to look like a spaceship's cockpit), he put up a tapestry showing psychedelic images of such artists as Bob Marley and Miles Davis. It remains.
Frager's business model is inspired by one of the most significant independent labels of the 1960s, Motown Records. "We want to be considered the Motown of rock our model is Motown Records, but rock 'n' roll."
Why Motown records? Well, it's simple: "Motown Records was based in one town, based on building a community. Everybody who was interested in music in the whole area came to Motown because that was the mecca. In-house they had the producers, the songwriters, the artists, the vision. They all came from one little building, that is why we considered this a model," said Frager.
His efforts are geared toward fashioning a place where new music can bloom and catch on, a place where artists can "come, develop and build their thing and meet with other people and really try and make something happen," in hopes of seeing once more a new dawn in Bay Area sound.

Rear Defroster Switches
Rear defroster is an element of many cars today. It requires a special back window that is equipped with wires that heat up and melt ice that has accumulated on the back window. It can save time and keep the back window unscratched by scraping instruments. The rear defroster is turned on somewhere near the driver's control panel. The switch, button, or dial may be located on the instrument panel, near the light switch, on the dash or steering wheel. The switch is the actuator turns the rear defroster on. Some rear defrosters will turn off automatically when the wires in the back window reach a certain temperature. The rear defroster switch can be replaced if it malfunctions. Usually the dash must be removed to access it. Some electrical experience is a bonus since the replacement is really just a job of unwiring and rewiring the switch.

Jeff Tweedy is minutes from going on stage to perform a solo concert, armed only with his acoustic guitar, a harmonica and some of the best songs anyone has written in the last decade. He has a supportive wife, two children who adore him and a modest home on the Northwest Side with two cars in the driveway, and his band Wilco is as respected as any in the land.
But at the moment none of that matters, because the 34-year-old singer is having a breakdown backstage.
Outside the wall of the dressing room, a club full of adoring fans anticipates the first strum of his guitar, the first words he will sing in his nicotine-scarred words he will sing in his nicotine-scarred baritone. But fear is washing over him. Not the fear associated with stage fright, but something much more broad and intangible. Just as a child fears the dark because it represents an infinite unknown, Tweedy's world at this moment seems too vast to comprehend. Yet in a few minutes, Tweedy will somehow transform his tears, his inner chaos, into music of startling power. He has learned to ride out his anxiety attacks, and to channel their diffuse energy into his art. He will sing "Sunken Treasure," and at the end of the song when he shouts, "I was saved by rock 'n' roll . . . I was maimed by rock 'n' roll . . . I don't need rock 'n' roll," veins will ripple down his neck like tiny blue rivers. He will lean into the faces of the audience as he shouts, "I want to thank you all for nothing . . . nothing . . . nothing!" during the last few bars of "Misunderstood." And he will sing an old Blondie song, and make it sound like a hymn to the one kind of freedom not even the darkness can take away: "Dreaming, dreaming is free."

Transdermal patches (adhesive patches placed on the skin) may also be used to deliver a steady dose through the skin and into the bloodstream. Testosterone-containing creams and gels that are applied daily to the skin are also available, but absorption is inefficient (roughly 10%, varying between individuals) and these treatments tend to be more expensive. Individuals who are especially physically active and/or bathe often may not be good candidates, since the medication can be washed off and may take up to six hours to be fully absorbed. There is also the risk that an intimate partner or child may come in contact with the application site and inadvertently dose himself or herself; children and women are highly sensitive to testosterone and can suffer unintended masculinization and health effects, even from small doses.

One of the Parliament's ideas to change Canada's national anthem to something a little more modern. Of course most of us shoot that idea down, it's our song and you can't just change it. Then again the idea is still being taken into consideration by a few.
The idea that may have rose after seeing the cultural closing ceremony of the Vancouver Olympics. But with a collection of Canadian literature, art, and music, creating a collage of the colorful background that is Canada.
The generalization was to make the anthem more gender neutral.

Gold Prices Retreat on Greek Default Worries
Gold prices declined Monday on concerns Greece will -- despite the Eurozone's two years of efforts -- default on its massive sovereign debt, with acute consequences for global economic growth.
Weekend negotiations between Athens and the three groups, the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund, that will decide whether to give Greece an urgently needed $170 billion in aid left a number of unresolved issues. Greek leaders were expected to announce Monday whether or not they could meet the groups' demands, which include opening markets and lowering wages.
Meanwhile in the U.S., the shine was coming off Friday's January jobs and unemployment numbers that showed the economy adding 243,000 jobs and the jobless rate falling to 8.3 percent to 8.5 percent. The closely watched Labor Department numbers on the economy's participation rate and weak consumer spending along with the likelihood that warm winter weather helped construction were largely ignored in Friday's post-report stock market rally. Investors want to see several more such monthly reports, but the possibility of a sharp Eurozone downturn dims such a possibility, especially in light of less-than-exciting fourth-quarter and full-year earnings reports coming from U.S. corporations.
The U.S. Jobs report also lowered expectations of more Federal Reserve money printing.
Gold's reversal after Friday's payrolls data was an understandable reaction to the surprise drop in U.S. unemployment and hopes for fresh easing from the Fed dimming, albeit temporarily, UBS analyst Edel Tully said in a note.
While we acknowledge that the bar for (quantitative easing 3) is high and some adjustments to expectations may be in order, we doubt that last Friday's employment data alone is enough to completely reverse the impact of the recent (Federal Open Market Committee) statement and prompt investors to materially scale back hopes for balance sheet expansion.
Such U.S. developments combined with renewed fears that Greece will default to offset some of the so-called risk-on appetite of investors.
Such concerns left global stocks mixed and the euro as well as industrial commodities like crude oil and copper lower -- the net effect of which was gold prices falling.
Safe-haven buyers still exist, they're just far less of a force that they were at the peak of the sovereign debt crisis, Nikos Kavalis, an RBS analyst, said to Reuters. For the time being, we see gold over the next few months appreciating with other commodities.
The yellow metal found some support from physical buyers in Asian who were responding to the price decline with purchases.
Gold for April delivery was off $21.30 to $1,719, while spot gold slipped $10.02 to $1,717.55.
Silver for March delivery declined 43 cents to $33.38 and spot silver fell 33 cents $33.38.

Day at the Colosseum

A Day At the Colosseum
by Matthew Bissonnette
The year is 61 AD. The Roman Empire rules much of the Mediterranean, with influence stretching from the deserts of Egypt to the frigid wilderness of Gaul and Britain. The empire is ruled by Nero, who holds on to power with an iron grip. Yet for most of the colonies of empire it is a mostly peaceful and prosperous time later known as the Pax Romana. All throughout Europe Rome has built cities, people who had once lived in mud huts now found themselves in stone homes and living on paved streets bustling with commerce. In almost everyone of these new cities was the Colosseum, the massive arena where the people gathered to watch the Circus Maximus. A bloody and cruel event where slaves and prisoners fought to the death, where the condemned where thrown to wild animals and devoured. Anywhere where Rome's influence was present, so was the Colosseum. Games where hosted many times, and countless lives perished.
Our story begins in the city of Morini in Northern Gaul.
Morini for centuries had been prosperous port overlooking the English Channel when the legions of Julius Ceaser occupied Gaul. It had once been a community of primitive homes where small boats sailed to trade with the other tribes in the region. Then the Romans came and Morini had been changed forever, once this entire corner of Europe was controlled by the legions of the Roman Empire, they set about rebuilding Morini. Gone where the huts and cabins, now homes of marble and Roman concrete lined cobblestone streets. The port now was an extensive series docks where the massive trading barges sailed to Italy, their bellies full of grain for the hungry empire. On the edge of the town was the home of one Tacitus, a large home of polished white marble with extravagant gardens and a courtyard.
Tacitus, a man of thirty seven, was a prosperous Roman who had been raised and educated in the city of Rome itself, but then had gone to become and powerful man in one of her colonies. He owned many farms and countless slaves, he enjoyed a life of extravagance while most people lived lives of toil and hardship. Though Tacitus, even among his slaves, had a reputation as a fair and honest man. He was not known to be cruel.
It was early in the morning as a sparrow sang melodically just beyond Tacitus's open window. His large bedroom was adorned with expensive chairs and tables as well as a bed with the finest linen. A life sized statue of the goddess Venus overlooked his bed. A chilly wind blew through the window and tussled the fine cloth drapes. Tacitus lay in bed still deeply asleep, dressed in a white toga and covering his head with a pillow. He was a burly man with dark hair and a thick beard covering his chin.
The wooden door to his room slowly opened and his slave Polyclitus entered. Polyclitus, a tall athletic man with copper hair, had once been a soldier yet his country fell to Rome and he had been forced into bondage. Tacitus found him in a slave market on the island of Sicily, and bought him. Tacitus learned quickly that Polyclitus was literate and keen minded, and now he served as Tacitus's most trusted slave. Polyclitus was dressed in a cloth garb, a brown attire which was poorly knit and cheap.
Polyclitus mutely said, "master, you asked me to wake you when sun rose."
Tacitus mumbled something and rolled over onto his stomach.
His slave slightly raised his voice and spoke again. "Tacitus, you ordered me to wake you."
Tacitus sat up in his bed and quipped, "it is a shame that all the gold in the known world will not stay the morning another hour."
Polyclitus then went to the window and pulled back the drapes. He asked, "so are you looking forward to today's games at the Colosseum?"
Tacitus shook his head. "Unlike most who relish in that grim circus of misery these days, I prefer to spend my time on more important things. Besides, this is the second game Emperor Nero has called for in the past month. The more games, the more it means that the people are restless."
Polyclitus looked at his master. "I see that you have become less vocal in your condemnation of Nero. Surely your silence will prolong your life."
Tacitus began to laugh when he heard mention of Nero's name. Tacitus laughed as he said, "Nero is a joke. Coins minted with his face on one side, and his mother's on the other. Of course she is the only one with any ambition, it is said that Nero would rather be a actor then a Emperor."
Polyclitus asked, "so why are you attending the games at the Colosseum today?"
Tacitus nodded. "I must. I must be present because it is required, every noble in Morini must be present . Though I won't watch, I probably just listen to Legatus ramble on about the loss of morality in the Empire all day."
Polyclitus then went to leave the room but spoke as he left. "I will prepare your breakfast."
Tacitus ordered, "also prepare me some wine. If I must listen to noblemen speak all day of issues which bore me, then I shall do so drunk."
Polyclitus left and Tacitus was alone. Tacitus muttered, "this is going to be a most long and thoroughly unsatisfying day."
In the center of Morini was the Colosseum. The giant circular arena dominated the city as the people crowded into it, within the theater where row upon row of stone ledges where the commoners sat and watched the games from. As noon began, throngs anxious spectators waited in the stands and seemed impatient for the spectacle to begin. To the southern end of the Colosseum was the area where the nobles watched. Several rows of chairs covered by a cloth canopy where the influential and prosperous gathered. Now it was full of men in toga's talking. In the back was Tacitus, looking at the sandals upon his feet as Legatus spoke.
Legatus, a man in his forties who was obese and had balding hair, looked at the rest of the gatherers at the arena. He sneered as he said, "look at that rabble. I hope they appreciate that Rome has decided civilize these barbaric savages."
Tacitus then glanced down at the ground of the dirt floor of the arena. Much of it was slightly red from old blood shedding. Tacitus replied, "one does not need look far to see the civilized nature of Rome. I appreciate that now they spray perfume to cover up the stench of death in the Colosseum."
Legatus then glanced towards Tacitus. "Do you miss the great city of Rome?"
"Not really," Tacitus replied, "things move fast in Rome, here in the northern colonies life passes by much more serenely."
Legatus seemed offended. "You prefer this outpost of Roman civility amongst the illiterate barbarians to the greatest city in the world?"
Tactitus shrugged. "I need not be in the city of Rome to enjoy the privileges of empire."
Legatus then looked back at the commoners. "I must admit sometimes I share your cynicism Tacitus, our Empire has become rife with decadence and sexual immorality lately. These savages, primitive as they might be, have never engaged in such tirades of debauchery and access like Tiberius and Caligula. The days of the great Augustus are sadly history now."
Tacitus said, "Rome's prosperity relies not on her Emperor but on her legions."
Then a trumpet from somewhere bellowed and the crowd cheered as two men stood in the center of the Colosseum. One man was armed with a short sword and shield, the other wore a helmet and was wielding a trident and net. They circled each other then began to fight.
Legatus smiled as he watched. "Care to wager on who will prevail?"
Tacitus did not look at the fight. "I do not wish to wager my gold on a man's life."
Legatus seemed angry as he watched them fight. "The lives of slaves and criminals are worth nothing."
Tactitus replied, "I guess the value of a man's life is low in your opinion?"
Legatus chuckled. "There are men, and there are beasts. We watch beasts fight here, I value the life of my horse more."
Tacitus, longing to change the subject, said, "I have not been to Rome in ages, how was your last visit Legatus?"
Legatus pondered the question and answered. "Well, there is much talk of these Christians. Have you heard of them?"
Tacitus shook his head. "All I know is that it is some strange religious cult from the East."
Legatus explained, "strange group, they reject all gods but for theirs. Of course now Nero is having them hunted and punished, but it is said that some of the nobles themselves are secretly Christian."
Tacitus asked, "why are they punished? In Rome any religion is permitted if they pay regular tributes to our Gods, why is it allowed?"
Legatus told him, "because these fanatics will pay tribute to no God but their own. Actually, later today, a woman is being thrown to the animals; I believe she is Christian."
"Know her name?"
Legatus nodded. "Yes, Domitia."
Tacitus gasped and felt ill. Legatus noticed this and asked, "do you know her?"
Tacitus seemed sad as he replied, "we knew each other when we where still young."
Tactitus had fallen in love with the daughter of another noble family, Domitia. But their families where feuding and their love had to go unrequited. Tacitus had not know she was in Morini.
Legatus seemed incensed. "Imagine, a woman of noble birth choosing some cult of fanatics over Rome. She would have been spared if she renounced this god of her's, yet she has chosen to die."
As Tactitus watched one combatant plunge his sword into his opponent's chest, he then mumbled, "Domitia was always stubborn."
At that moment, Tactitus yearned to be far away from the Colosseum but all he could do was watch.
Later in the day the gladiatorial portion of the games ended. As men battled to their death, the crowd bellowed and cheered. Now they waited for the executions of the condemned, criminals would be thrown to the wild animals. Somewhere surely inside the Colosseum where half-ed starved lions who would soon rip people to pieces.
Tacitus, who was melancholy, looked skyward as Legatus spoke.
"Tacitus, do you still marvel at this? Rome as gathered creatures from the farthest corners of the Earth and brought them here."
Tactitus sighed. "I here the Moraccian elephant is hard to find these days. Surely we will one day exhaust the supply of many of these creatures."
Legatus seemed ready for the coming spectacle. "It is worth it. Surely this is a theater unique in history."
A gate at one end of the arena opened and a man, his ragged clothes showing him to be a prisoner, stumbled out. The gate snapped shut behind him and the man looked at the crowd and began to plead and yell.
"I am a thief! Mercy, I only stole to feed myself!"
Another metal gate facing the terrified man opened. He began screaming when two large male lions burst out from the gate and charged towards the man. The beasts knocked him down and began to eat him.
Legatus watched happily. "I guess he will not steal again."
Tacitus glimpsed the gruesome scene then looked away, unable to listen to the man's screams. "He will never do anything again I think."
The crowd was cheering, Tacitus was alone in his disgust as everyone else seemed to enjoy themselves. But when Domitia entered the arena, Tacitus's disgust changed to grief and a feeling of helplessness.
Domitia stood in the center of the arena as thousands watched. The two lions walked circles around her and seemed ready to attack. She was a thin, delicate woman who wore an elegant white robe and seemed unafraid. She then fell to her knee's, yet the lions did not attack. Despite the crowds yells, the two beasts walked away from Domitia and then lay upon the ground several yards from her.
Tacitus stood up and loudly said, "Domitia!"
A gladiator, a large man partially dressed in armor and holding a sword, entered the arena. He walked towards her and raised the sword, she remained on her knee's and did not look at him.
Tactitus gasped. "No!"
The gladiator looked at the crowd, the sword was trembling in his hand. The entire audience seemed both stunned and upset by the events unfolding before them. Yet the gladiator's job was done for him, for upon dropping his sword Domitia grabbed it and killed herself.
Tacitus, as Legatus jumped to his feet and cheered, fell into his chair and looked at the cheering man. Tacitus hated both this and this profane spectacle, for he had to watch a woman he once loved die. More then that, but it was done for the enjoyment of these masses.
He got to his feet and walked away.
Night fell over Tacitus's home. He sat in his dining hall, sitting alone at one end of a long table upon which was a sumptuous feast which he had not touched. He just sat in his chair and sadly looked towards a window, occasionally drinking deeply from a jug of wine.
Polyclitus entered. "Master, you have not eaten."
Tacitus got up. "A fine meal, but alas I have no appetite. You and the other servants can have it. I will retire to my chambers, I am not to be disturbed for the next few days."
Polyclitus asked, "what is wrong?"
Tacitus did not lie. "I hate everything Roman right now. I am not to be disturbed."
Polyclitus watched him leave.
Tactitus went on to live for almost thirty more years. He continued to prosper but also had become a fierce critic of the Circus Maximus. For the rest of his days, he would condemn the Colosseum to anyone who would listen. He would never forget the day though which led to his disillusionment with Rome and the bloody arena which it had spread across the known world.

Did Megan Fox fake those 'no Botox' pics?
Did Megan Fox Photoshop the photos she says prove she doesn't use Botox?
Last week, Megan Fox posted photos on Twitter she says prove she doesn't use Botox. Now not just one, but multiple doctors are coming forward to say the actress must have Photoshopped those pictures -- because faces simply don't move the way hers appears to in the images.
The OC Register asked several cosmetic surgeons for their take on the pictures -- and the general consensus is that Fox is full of it.
"The wrinkles that start horizontally in the middle of her forehead and curve down towards her eyebrows don't exist in anyone," New York plastic surgeon Dr. Nicholas Vendemia said. "The muscles in the forehead and brow simply don't create curved wrinkles like that. The wrinkles Megan is showing us don't coincide with brow anatomy, nor do they match the facial expression she is making."
Dermatologist Dr. Vince Afsahi said, "The photo looks altered. The muscles in the forehead do not usually create an arc-like pattern seen in the photo... Anatomically [it] does not make sense."
"This photo is totally consistent with the wrinkle pattern you will see in someone whose Botox has begun wearing off," plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow added. "When you have Botox to the entire face, different parts wear off at different rates and can give you a strangish-looking pattern of wrinkles until it all wears off. I bet this photo was taken the day before her Botox appointment."
"She's a beautiful girl and should ease up on the Botox and obvious filler she has in her lips," Dubrow said. "She's starting to look a bit alien and should consider parking her spaceship for a while."
Megan Fox will have to try harder to convince us she's an all-natural beauty.

Conversations in Local Health Research
10:30 to 11:30 a.m., Ricketson Auditorium
Brown Bag Lunch with speaker to follow presentation
A genetic disorder is a disease that is caused by an abnormality in an individual's DNA. Abnormalities can range from a small mutation in a single gene to the addition or subtraction of an entire chromosome or set of chromosomes. In Myotonic Dystrophy it is a problem of addition, the DNA of patients show multiple repeats of the nucleotides "CTG" in a gene called DMPK. This gene codes for a protein in skeletal muscle, and the higher number of repeats in the gene directly corresponds to an increase in the severity of muscle wasting that characterizes the disease. Join us as we host Dr. Alexa Dickson, who will review how researchers study genetic diseases like Myotonic Dystrophy and will present new data using these techniques that are helping doctors to better understand and treat Myotonic Dystrophy.
Alexa is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Colorado State University with PI: Carol Wilusz, PhD.
