BAR HARBOR—The Mount Desert Island YMCA has applied again this year through Senator King and Collins’ offices for federal congressional-directed spending funding to help further its community service impact specifically to construct a new addition, the Community Youth Development Wing. Long-time island residents may consider the Mount Desert Island YMCA location on 21 Park Street the ‘new Y,’ but it opened almost 30 years ago now, after the roof on the ‘old’ YMCA–located at what is now the Abbe Museum–collapsed one early winter morning.

Me, You, and Everyone We Know (2005) Written and directed by Miranda July I can’t recall what it was about the early to mid-aughts that ushered in this strange, heartfelt debut feature by Miranda July, until then known only as a performance artist to people who read the Village Voice or who were in touch with the art scene in L.A.

Be in charge of your life and your food. But also make yourself yummy food. That’s the key to discipline.

Several years ago I got my hands on a smartphone ultrasound device (a probe that attaches to the base of a smartphone) and was struck by the newfound ability to image any part of my body except the brain. I subsequently published the images (below) in a short piece reviewing the first decade of digital medicine. The funny part of that sweep of imaging various organs is that my only prior experience with ultrasound was with the heart—echocardiography.

In 1122 a Chinese general called Yue Fei lay down on a table in front of his mother and had his back tattooed. The design was simple. Four characters were pricked into Yue Fei’s skin with a needle, and soot was rubbed into the open wounds so that they would scar blue. Yue Fei was all wound up. He was heading out to battle.
