Palo Alto, CA, United States, 2007/03/21 - Frost & Sullivan proudly presents GE Healthcare (NYSE: GE) with the 2006 North American CT Market Leadership Award.
GE Healthcare dominates the CT market with new equipment sales, while sustaining an ascending market share trend. What's more, the breadth of the companys portfolio ensures a steadily growing stream of revenues for its CT business unit.
Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to a company that has demonstrated market share leadership through the implementation of market strategy. GE Healthcare has displayed excellence in all areas of the market leadership process, including the identification of market challenges, drivers and restraints, as well as strategy development and methods of addressing these market dynamics.
GE Healthcare has set the pace in CT technology with a performance unmatched by its competitors, said Frost & Sullivan research analyst Nadim Daher. Launched in 2004, GE's LightSpeed VCT helped inaugurate a new generation of CT capabilities such as scanning the heart in as little as 5 seconds, rather than just focusing on the number of slices.
As the market praised the phenomenal capabilities of GEs LightSpeed VCT, notably, its image quality, reliability and its angiography and cardiac imaging capabilities, the premium system continues to be an overwhelming commercial success. Touting the highest market adoption rate in the industry with a global installed base of over 1500systems, the technology crosses all segments of the healthcare provider spectrum.
GE demonstrates that a strong sense of vendor responsibility and consideration of the customers' needs, concerns and aspirations are the keys to further innovation. Clinical relevance is the cornerstone of GEs approach of advancing technology with a focus on clinical applications, workflow and dose efficiency.
GE has also proven to be highly attentive to the rise of dose-consciousness among U.S. radiologists, noted Daher. Understanding that coronary CTA, an extremely important new CT application, also happened to be one of the CT examinations with the highest-relative dose, GE released the new LightSpeed VCT XT version that offers as much as a seventy percent dose reduction with uncompromised image quality.
GE works with leading academic sites to continually develop breakthrough applications for CT. Realizing that current CT technology is not utilized to its full potential, GE has invigorated its sponsorship and participation in large, highly promising clinical trials.
GE is investigating interesting developments on Volume Dual Energy acquisitions performed on a single-source scanner with a wide field of view, as well as a Helical Shuttle mode investigation.
GE Healthcare recognizes it is essential to streamline the workflow and improve the productivity of technologists, nurses, radiologists, and referring physicians. GE's latest innovations provide users with software that is more efficient for a more practical workflow and more powerful for a more robust application-specific workflow.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

I am an approximately 5 month old GORGEOUS and TOO CUTE WestiePoo Mix :)
I have the most beautiful and unique crystal blue eyes you ever did see!
I am getting groomed tomorrow, too!
I was rescued by the nice folks at Paw Protectors Rescue where my owners were going to dump me at a very high kill shelter where I would have been in danger and very afraid, but the Paw Team saved me!
I am a spunky little gal and love all people and other doggies, too!
Please consider giving me the loving and furever home I so deserve!
I am currently fostered in the Orange County area, but will be at our Oceanside adoption event this weekend.
Thank you for visiting my page!

Last night was interesting to say the least. With 10 minutes left till line ups locked, the news came down that LeBron James was going to play. Then the scramble started because almost everyone was on Kyrie Irving after his 55 point performance. One bit of advice I can give you guys is you need to use Twitter for news and you need to be able to be around till line up lock. For example, you gotta leave the house for something an hour before line up lock and don't have access to change your line ups, I recommend not playing that night. With the way the NBA jerks us around with injury news you gotta be able to make that necessary line up change. It could be matter of a winning night or a losing night. Ok enough rambling. Tonight we have a big 11 game slate. That's because there is some kind of "Big Game" going on Sunday night. My prediction for the game is 24-13 and Tom Brady wins another Super Bowl.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Man, what a huge night it was across the NBA with nearly every team in action. It obviously all starts with the shocker Philly put on the Heat, and Michael Carter-Williams' unreal debut. I was following with my co-workers during the game and tweeted that if he got a triple-double in his first NBA game, the universe would implode. Thankfully MCW was a steal short and we're all still here. His final line of 6-10 (4-6 3PTM 6-8 FT) 22 Pts 7 Rebs 12 Asts and 9 Stls might actually win some owners their matchups this week on its own. Just preposterous. Most steals in NBA history in a player's debut. Ok before we all go nutso, remember the Heat played without Dwayne Wade (rest), don't have a PG, and had all their hands weighed down with new championship rings. So that's not really an excuse, but so what?! The shooting efficiency was fantastic (the biggest knock on him coming into the year), plus he had only one turnover (his second main knock). "Nice knockers!" Thanks Young Frankenstein! MCW indeed moves up a fair bit in value in my eyes, but this is likely his best line on the year. MCW was wildly inconsistent in college and I don't expect much consistency on a terrible 76ers team (I know they just beat the Heat, but c'mon). Look for John Wall to lock him up on Friday and cool the hype. Despite inconsistencies, it goes without saying that MCW should be owned in all leagues now (78% Yahoo, 59.4% ESPN), so if for some reason he's available in your league, you gotta get him. I'm not expecting MCW to be an elite player, but will continue to contribute even in down games. Here's what else I saw across Fantasy Basketball last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Guess who's biiiizack, the Aussie Miiiiizack, aka Mr. never throw up a brick (shout out to beans). Andrew Bogut erupted on the scene like Mount Vesuvius in his return to action to the tune of 12 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 4 blocks.Please, blog, may I have some more?
I have a dream. A dream that all men and women, representing every race in this marvelous world, will one day unite and make Razzball the most popular website in history. A dream that I will become America's most infamous fantasy sports writer.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Jared Dudley did right in Phoenix last night, scoring 22 points and adding 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals with 2 3pm in 43 minutes. The 22 points were a season high, and after starting the season looking kind of like a Dud-ley, the past two games he's looked sort of Stud-ley (hey that's the headline!).Please, blog, may I have some more?
I almost titles this entry, "Even Burt Reynolds Can't Touch Ronny Anderson," but I decided against it because I'm pretty sure Burt Reynolds, could, in fact, touch Ron Anderson. Anderson was selected third overall in this year's draft, mainly as an insurance policy against either Danny Manning or Benoit Benjamin going el-busto.Please, blog, may I have some more?
A few of you have sent me requests via U.S. mail for a post about draft pairings through the first two rounds. I planned on writing 1,500 words on the value of calling Alvin Robertson "Oscar" just to peeve him off, but it occurred to me that 1,470 of those words would probably be unprintable.Please, blog, may I have some more?

The Biography of Bernard Roland
By, Bernna Louise Huffman
John Rolland Huffman and Margaret
Koenig Huffman became parents for the third time on March 21, 1922. This
newborn, a second son, was named Bernard Roland Huffman. Their first son
Leonard Riley Huffman was born June 5, 1912. Upon his arrival Bernard also
had a sister. Ellen Louise Huffman was born August 4, 1914. Two years after
his birth another brother James Cooper Huffman arrived on September 28,
1924. The John Huffman family was then complete.
Bernard grew up in a loving but strict home at 209 East Water Street, Smethport, McKean County, Pennsylvania. He was raised as a strict Episcopalian and served as an altar boy for St. Lukes Episcopal Church.
At the age of 16 Bernard and a friend Bill Faull went for a canoe ride down the Allegheny River. Actually they built 16-foot long, Eskimo style kayaks, out of strips of hemlock. Bernard covered his with a tablecloth, much to his mothers chagrin, and then varnished it. Bill Faull covered his with burlap feed bags and painted it red. On Tuesday, July 26, 1938 they loaded their homemade kayaks onto a truck and took them to Kinzua, there they were met, by four other boys from Olean. The six of them would start from this point at 6:00 A.M. Wednesday morning (July 27, 1938), and paddle, for approximately twelve hours a day for two weeks, on a hazardous trip down the Allegheny River. Their goal, being Washington Crossing and the Ohio River, 240 miles south. Along with them went a two-man pup tent stored in Bill Faulls boat and one suitcase they shared which Bernard carried in his boat.
The first night they camped in Warren Pennsylvania. Thursday (July 29, 1938) torrential rains delayed them and they spent that night in Tidioute, Pennsylvania. News of the their adventure preceded them, via newspapers and radio broadcasts. By the time they reached Franklin, Friday night (July 30, 1938) they were surrounded by members of the press and well-wishers. They camped near Gallaghers Gasoline Station on Eighth Street, in Franklin Pennsylvania.
They wore their bathing suits during the day and spent about fifty cents a day on food. Saturday night (July 31, 1938) they spent in Emlenton they were weary and tired from fighting the contrary river currents, and working their craft over the rapids. They spent the night at the home of Bills aunt Mrs. W. G. Snyder. They averaged 30 miles a day their best day they covered 50 miles. Along the way the four boys from Olean dropped out, but Bernard and Bill continued on. Sunday night (August 1, 1938) they spent at Bills Grandmothers in Butler, Pennsylvania.
All along the stretch of the Allegheny River crowds of curious people gathered to inspect the homemade kayaks and complement the young navigators. They stopped at several river towns each day to eat and replenish their supplies. At one of these stops, near Templeton, Bernards boat hit a rock and they thought that was the end of their journey, but Bernards older brother Leonard brought his own homemade kayak to Templeton and the two lads continued down the river.
At 5:30 P.M. on August 6, 1938 three days ahead of schedule the two boys maneuvered into Lock 2 in the Allegheny River, at Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Representatives of nine newspapers were there to greet them. Thirty-five years later, the trip was still being talked about, in 1973 the Bradford Era ran a story about the pair and their journey down the Allegheny River.
In his senior year he was one of the thespians who performed for an audience of 450 people, in a production of Everybodys Getting Married. Many of his relatives and friends gathered in the Smethport High School Auditorium on Tuesday Evening June Sixth at 8:00, 1939 to see him graduate. One of the members of the class that graduated that night was a girl from East Smethport, Ruth Edna Okerlund. Bernard married Ruth Edna Okerlund in Smethport Pennsylvania on August 16, 1942.
Six months later on February 3, 1943 Bernard reported for active duty along with his younger brother James Cooper Huffman. Theyarrived in Miami Beach, on February 5,1943, to begin their basic training.As a pilot he flew B-24s and he achieved the rankofFirstLieutenant.HewasawardedtheAirMedalwiththreeclusterswhileservinginItaly.

When a building slow down came to Pennsylvania in 1952 Bernard, packed up his family and moved to Cheektowaga, Erie County, New York. He became a Building Field Representative for Kideney Smith and Fitzgerald, a commercial architectural firm in Buffalo New York. They specialized in constructing college campuses and telephone buildings. His job was to supervise the contractor=s work and see that it conformed to the building codes and the architects blue prints. His brother Leonard followed a few years later and J. R. Huffman and Sons was closed.
In 1958 he bought a house at 133 Bissell Avenue, Depew, Erie County, New York. Bernard joined the Depew Volunteer Fire Departments Aetna Hose Company, and became a Captain. He organized the Political Action Party in Depew and ran for the Position of Village Trustee. He spent his remaining days living in Depew.
During the years his experience took him to many firms wherever there was a building being built in western New York he was there. He worked as a Field Representative for Edward J Fuhrmann Co. Inc., West Seneca, New York; Barrows, Parke, Morin, Hall and Brennan in Rochester New York; New York State Dormitory Authority in Albany New York; Biggie and Shaflucas. In 1974 he went back to Kideney Smith and Fitzgerald where he spent the remainder of his working career.
Bernard loved to travel he went to Hawaii twice and Las Vegas several times. He was an outdoors man and a hunter. His pride and joy was a 55-acre camp in Lyndon, Cattaraugus County New York. He spent all his free time there relaxing, hiking, snowmobiling and hunting. He died there on October 13, 1978.

We'd like to give a shout-out to our wonderful customer Mark Ruffalo, who was amazing in his interview with Stephen Colbert Wednesday night! They got heated up about issues like how fracking is poisoning American families homes, how to reach energy independence, and ways to embrace the renewable future.
Mark walked the walk by going solar with us last year and now has a beautiful 14 kW system in his back yard. Shine on, Mark!

BUENOS AIRES (Jul. 24)
An appeal by new Israeli ambassador Eliezer Doron to Jewish journalists to "exercise greater restraint" in reporting news affecting Israel or other Jewries drew a critical reaction today from the newsmen.
The envoy made his appeal in his first meeting with the journalists. Most of them expressed astonishment and said they considered themselves fully responsible and had hitherto relied on their own judgment. They asked the ambassador to display greater confidence in their handling of news.

Jennifer Kim, in her letter of May 16, seems to be doing a bit of an Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto special. She appears to be suggesting that the mass murder of heretics [Cathars] was necessary at the time. She seems to take the apparent wrongness of their teaching — which supposedly took the anti-life bias of Christianity a little too far — as justification for a "crusade."
On several occasions I have heard Christians justify the extermination of the Canaanites [clans mentioned in the Old Testament] in a similar way. They were a depraved people with barbaric customs; therefore, it was absolutely right to "dash their little ones' heads against the rocks."
The fact is that Christians are quite entitled to believe in killing heretics if they want to. However, they ask too much when they then expect to be taken seriously as the inventors of human rights. This holds true no matter how many times they bounce back with tedious lists to prove they're right.
The opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are the writer's own and do not necessarily reflect the policies of The Japan Times.

Detailed Description:
Previous studies have shown active brown adipose tissue (BAT) is present in adults and may play important roles in regulating energy homeostasis. However, the majorities of these studies were done in patients undergoing scanning for cancer surveillance, and may not reflect BAT behavior in healthy individuals. In addition, little is known about the ethnic variation in BAT activity, particularly in Chinese adults. Due to the large amount in our cohort, we are able to look at the difference between subjects for cancer surveillance (CS) and subjects for medical check-up (MC), and to clarify the impact of clinical and lifestyle parameters.

The Apprentice sees Team Sterling sell out of fake tan in Essex
The Apprentice week seven sees Team Sterling embark upon the not-altogether-difficult task of selling fake tan to the citizens of Essex, with their product shifting 'very rapidly'.
Lord Shugs despatches the teams to the south east of the UK in tonight's episode, giving them £150 to procure whatever products they think will sell best in Essex.
Sterling and Phoenix are told to reinvest their profits in new stock – leading to a day of buying and selling even more frenzied than usual.
Elected as project manager for Sterling, Nick Holzherr quickly decides they must try and shit fake tan, with teammate Ricky Martin astutely observing: 'Essex do love tan!'
Unsurprisingly the team sell out very fast and are left wanting of more stock.
'The fake tan is shifting very rapidly… soon everybody in Essex will have one,' Nick Hewer observes, as Holzherr and his team make a mad dash to replenish their goods.
Jade Nash heads up Team Phoenix meanwhile, but loses her team's support when she keeps changing the types of product they are to sell.
A frustrated Azhar Siddique says: 'Jade's not too concerned about strategy, but strategy is the most important part of any business.
'Without strategy you're running blind into the dark.'
Meanwhile Nash moans: 'Azhar is doing my head in. He just goes on about strategy.'
The strategy-filled Apprentice airs tonight on BBC One at 9pm.

" Brand: J.A. Bowers / Type: Compost / Soil "
Now Spring is finally here it's the time for planting and sowing. I like to plant Summer flowering bulbs into terracotta pots and plastic tubs to bring some colour and brighten up concrete and stone areas around the house.
J. Arthur Bower's bulb fibre comes in a 10 litre thick plastic bag with a handle and resealable opening. It is not the cheapest bulb fibre on the market (currently priced between £3.70 and £5.00) but it is made without using a high proportion of peat.
It contains:
Oyster Shell. Finely crushed oyster shell is difficult to source as a product on its own but it is ideal for plants. It provides calcium, magnesium, iron and copper which are all very important for the development of strong roots and healthy plant growth.
Wood Charcoal. This helps retain moisture and oxygen in the compost. It is good for drainage and also very high in potash.
Sincro-boost. A relatively new environmentally friendly mixture used to replace peat. It is made from recycled materials and is said to improve plant development as well as ensuring good water retention in the compost.
J. Arthur Bower's bulb fibre is for indoor and outdoor bulbs and I have used it for both. I like the rich dark colour of this fibre and the texture, it's quite coarse and light, slightly moist and not at all dry or dusty. I've found it easy to handle when filling up pots or burying bulbs. After providing good drainage at the base of pots and containers, I've discovered using this bulb fibre is then all I need. No further feeding has been necessary, my plants have grown beautifully with healthy leaves and colourful flowers.The fibre retains moisture really well and doesn't dry out as quickly as many other bulb fibres or peat mixtures I have used.
The heavy duty plastic bag means the fibre stays fresh and moist whilst stored and is best kept in a cool, dry place. I came across an almost empty bag at the back of my potting shed behind a huge gravel pot which must have remained there for nearly two years and was quite surprised to find the bulb fibre was in perfect condition.
I will continue to use J.A.Bower's bulb fibre as I believe it contains all the nutrients and minerals required for the growth and flowering of plants. As already mentioned I find additional feeding is not required so all I need to do is remember to water when necessary. I would recommend J. Arthur Bower's bulb fibre for indoor and outdoor bulb planting.
Thanks for reading!

Though Spring may seem to be a long time away it is time to fill those tubs up with a variety of Spring bulbs, the bulbs offer the first dash of colour of the year and I for one always look forward to them blooming.
Our local garden centre was busy today, apart from the predictable bedding plants there is little else kicking around at this time of year but the stands are filled with packet upon packet of bulbs of all shapes, sizes and of course species. There is also a very good selection of clay pots and planters on display too so this made the visit worthwhile.
J. A. Bower's bulb fibre is not the cheapest of the bunch but it provides the bulbs with the perfect conditions and nutrients that are needed if you expect to get a good show from your tubs and planters.
A 10 litre bag of J. A. Bower's bulb fibre costs in the region of £6, but having said that it fills four good sized tubs with a bit left to spare.
The Bower's bulb fibre can be used in indoor and outdoor planters . Bower's have created this especially formulated compost to ensure that your bulbs have the correct nutrients and are kept well drained, if the bulbs were allowed to get too wet then after a while the rot would set in.
The bulb fibre contains limestone, wood waste, peat, bark fines, wood charcoal, sulphate of ammonia, phosphate, potassium nitrate and mono ammonium.
Though the bulb fibre is easy to handle you do need to be mindful of a few points, for a start if you are going to store the compost then make sure that it is stored well away from heat, the peat in the mixture is flammable. When you decide to fill your tubs/planters if you have cuts or abrasions on your hands it is better to use a pair of gardening gloves to do the job.
Last but not least store the bulb fibre in a cool place and never put it next to any chemicals that could accidentally taint it.
I like the terracotta planters and I will fill four good sized ones with bulbs so that they can sit at the back of the house, when I look out of the kitchen window I can see the tubs clearly and as the bulbs start to pop their heads up out of the fibre I can watch each and every stage of their growth.
The tubs should have good sized drainage holes in the bottom and always bear in mind that bulbs love to be buried that little bit deeper. If you plant each bulb three times as deep as the depth of the actual bulb then you won't go far wrong.
I love layering my bulbs, this does take a bit longer but it will give you a spectacular show.
My favourite bulbs are narcissi, tulip and I love the grape hyacinth though some say it is a pest!
The Bower's bulb fibre is light and very `airy`, place a layer of bulb fibre into the bottom of the tub and then choose a few bulbs to sit on top of that first layer. Then cover the first layer of bulbs and create another layer and so on.
As the bulbs start to show and bloom you then have a `follow on` effect which looks stunning and will last for a long time.
Bulbs like to be planted close together and like humans they like to be fed well, in turn they will reward you with good sized healthy blooms that will last for a while.
Bower's bulb fibre is like any other compost, it can only be used for one growing session and then it has to be changed. When my tubs have finished blooming and the bulbs have all died back then I empty them out, put the bulbs on a wooden shelf to dry out ( they can be planted into the garden afterwards or saved whichever you prefer ) , put the spent compost onto the heap and wash my pots out in readiness for the next bulb season.
J. A. Bower's produce a wide range of composts and fibres and much I prefer to buy a brand name.
Bower's composts are available in most good garden centres.

State Farm Ends New Property Coverage in Mississippi
By JOSEPH B. TREASTER
Published: February 15, 2007
State Farm, the largest insurer in Mississippi, said yesterday that it had decided to stop selling new policies on homes and small businesses across the state as it faces hundreds of lawsuits over claims from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The company, which is also the largest home insurer in the country, said it would continue to renew old policies for the time being but warned that legal and business conditions in Mississippi ''are becoming untenable,'' suggesting that it might eventually stop providing any coverage.
Referring to the halt of new sales, Robert L. Trippel, the insurer's senior executive for Mississippi and three other Southern states, said, ''It is no longer prudent for us to take on additional risk in a legal and business environment that is becoming more unpredictable.''
In a news conference in Jackson, the state capital, Jim Hood, the attorney general, said State Farm had created its own problems. ''If they'd paid what they owed in the first place, there never would have been a lawsuit filed,'' he said.
Mr. Hood and some insurance experts said that halting new sales was a ploy to persuade Mississippi officials and trial lawyers to back off from trying to force State Farm to increase its payments to storm victims.
''They're trying to coerce us,'' Mr. Hood said.
But Phil Supple, a spokesman for State Farm, said the action was ''just a realization of the marketplace,'' a business decision.
State Farm has had several setbacks recently in the courts over its refusal to pay claims fully on homes battered as Hurricane Katrina swept over the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005.
The central issue has been whether State Farm and other insurers are required to pay for damage from surging flood waters as well as hurricane winds. The insurers insist their policies were never intended to cover flood damage and some, including State Farm, have refused to pay for homes that were destroyed by a combination of wind and water.
''Parts of our policies are being reinterpreted after the fact,'' Mr. Supple said. ''And the reinterpretation is attempting to provide coverage that was not contemplated or paid for when the policies were written.''
In early January, a jury awarded a State Farm policyholder in Mississippi $2.5 million in punitive damages -- later reduced to $1 million -- after a federal district judge ruled that the insurer had failed to prove that it owed nothing for a house destroyed by the hurricane. The judge, L. T. Senter Jr., also ordered State Farm to pay the full value of the home, $225,000.
Less than two weeks later, State Farm agreed to settle 640 lawsuits and to reopen as many as 35,000 previously resolved claims for damage. The agreement would have cost State Farm at least $130 million and was expected to jump-start the rebuilding of the Mississippi coast. But a few days later, Judge Senter rejected the agreement, saying he needed more information to determine whether it was fair.
Judge Senter has ordered State Farm and a group of trial lawyers to defend their agreement in a hearing on Feb. 28 in Gulfport, Miss. According to court papers, the judge said he was concerned that the agreement did not provide enough money for homeowners.
Randy J. Maniloff, a lawyer in Philadelphia who represents insurance companies, said he thought State Farm was sending a message to the court. ''This is a message that we want to stay in this state,'' he said. ''But we simply cannot afford to do so if the legal climate forces us out.''
State Farm and other insurers had previously stopped selling new policies along the Gulf Coast. But the decision to halt sales throughout Mississippi was the most sweeping retrenchment of any insurance company so far in the state.
George Dale, the insurance commissioner in Mississippi, said State Farm's move would further strain the state-run insurance company that provides coverage for homeowners who cannot buy it elsewhere.
Robert P. Hartwig, the president and chief economist of the Insurance Information Institute, a trade group in New York, said it was unlikely that Nationwide, Allstate and other insurers there would pick up the slack.
None of the other companies, he said, would want to increase sales in a state that was vulnerable to hurricanes and that promised the ''virtual certainty of expensive litigation'' after a storm.

Gasland is supposed to be awesome. There's a scene where he lights the tapwater on fire lol.
I liked the film but I feel it fits the Mike Moore genre in many ways. Provides a one sided view of the story and uses 'appeal to emotion' on key facts. Thus, knowing that many people won't go away and investigate the facts further, I see the potential for similar harm being done as with our local shock jocks sprouting random numbers over emissions.
Yeah haven't seen it myself, just heard good things. Would imagine it'd be one-sided.

I truly think this woman has no political instincts at all. It's ingrained in the electorate's psyche that the Coalition is tough on border protection, and that Labor (having changed Howard's laws which has resulted in boats coming again) is soft. She must think that by drawing attention to every boat arrival, and blaming the opposition, that it somehow is doing her good. As I say, no political judgement, no political feel or instincts at all.

Let's face it fellow chicks, when it comes to finding excuses NOT to exercise, we can get pretty creative. Maybe it's because you "just got your hair did", or because your DVR is broken and you couldn't possibly miss your favorite cast member on the "Real Housewives of Skanksville" or whatever throwing a drink in someone's face. Or maybe, you just don't think you need to work out. After all, you can still fit into last season's jeans (before dinner, at least). But let's keep it real with one another for a moment, shall we? No matter your size, shape or age…we ALL need to break a sweat on a regular basis to protect our hearts, prevent illnesses like diabetes and cancer, and just to feel good about ourselves.
Two women fed up with talking about getting active decided to stop flapping their lips and start moving their feet. Toni Carey and Ashley Hicks are the creators of "Black Girls Run". It started back in 2009 when both women started running to lose weight. They paired up and created a team called "Black Girls Run". The team turned into a blog and the blog turned into an international movement that includes more than 60 running teams across the country. These groups host daily runs that in some instances bring hundreds of women together to work out. The runs range in distances to accommodate all fitness levels and the group leaders enact a "No runner left behind policy" wherein those who finish first run back to encourage some of the slower runners to finish their route. Those who don't run back hover around the finish line acting as cheerleaders for runners in the final stretch. As someone who has taken part in these runs, I can assure you it's a sight to behold.
Carey and Hicks say they're on a mission to combat obesity in the African American community. According to the Office of Minority Health, four out of five African American women are overweight or obese. These startling statistics help to bolster recent claims by the Surgeon General that many African American women are avoiding the gym because they're too worried about messing up their hair. It's a suggestion that Toni Carey says makes Black Girls Run an important component in reversing the obesity trend. Women work together to inspire each other to get moving.
You can buy all the weave you want to, you can buy all the clothes you want to, but studies have shown that the quality of your health is directly correlated to the quality of your life . You've got 5000 women doing the same things that you're trying to do, at all kinds of fitness levels, from all walks of life… all trying to be successful. So why not be apart of it?
The ladies say they've been overwhelmed by the response to Black Girls Run. They are consistently inundated with emails from people who want to start their own running groups. They've even gotten requests from people internationally wanting to start groups, from London to Toronto. But Hicks says it's the emails from women whose lives have been impacted by the group that assures them that Black Girls Run is on the right track…so to speak.
We have so many people who are like, "This is life changing.' Even when people are telling me their stories of how (they) lost 100 pounds, it just makes me want to cry a little bit and I'm like, 'Oh my God!" I cant believe I really helped somebody.
More than 5 thousand women take part in the BGR movement on some level, whether it's running with a group, sharing their stories on the Black Girls Run blog or encouraging runners on Facebook and at races. As their organization continues to grow, Hicks and Carey say they look forward to one day having the opportunity to establish a nonprofit and reach out to young girls. They are courting organizations and corporations to see the value in what they are doing and back them in their efforts.
Although Black Girls Run specifically targets the problem in the African American community, the co-founders insist that they welcome women of all backgrounds to join them on their mission or sign up with a local running group.
They say the group's name was actually inspired by the prevalent stereotypes, particularly within the African American community, that running is a "white thing." Carey says a warning about running from her own mother convinced her that something had to be done to change perceptions.
My mom gave me this spiel about how black women don't run and 'your uterus is gonna fall and you're gonna have to get it sewed back in. It was a bunch of tomfoolery."
Hicks says while running may seem intimidating at the onset, once women join their group, they soon realize that the bonds formed with other runners can be a great motivator.
"It takes a while for people to love running. That's another barrier we have to jump over. But we give people the tools they need to enjoy the sport, to know how to prevent injury and take care of themselves. I like that we've been able to be connectors. There's so many people now meeting up at races across the country. Its almost becoming like a sorority."

Israel Lifts Bethlehem Blockade, But Arafat Still Held Prisoner
The Israeli army withdrew between Thursday and Friday from its positions surrounding the historic town of Bethlehem, allowing some degree of freedom of movement to resume. However, Israel still insists it will not allow Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to go to Bethlehem, keeping him a virtual prisoner in Ramallah.
In an official communiqué, the Israeli army stated that it was withdrawing from Bethlehem under orders of the political leadership, which wanted to ease Christmas travel for the many worshippers. However, the Israeli army left no one in doubt of its priorities, stating also that it would ease restrictions on the Palestinian population subject to maintaining the security of Israeli citizens and IDF soldiers. Giving added emphasis, Israeli troops and tanks stayed in the vicinity of the town, ready to resume their stranglehold on the Palestinians.
Despite the easing of some Israeli measures against the Palestinians, President Arafat is still being denied permission to travel to Bethlehem, and is a virtual prisoner in his offices in Ramallah. Arafat has attended both the Western and the Greek Orthodox Christmas Eve celebrations in Bethlehem every year since he returned to Palestine, but this year Israel has kept him away, in a move seemingly calculated to damage his leadership. The Israeli insistence on barring Arafat from Bethlehem has faced intense international criticism, even the Vatican and the United States calling on Israeli to revoke its decision to no avail.
The Israelis are apparently not content with the relative calm that has settled over the Palestinian areas since President Arafat ordered an end to all attacks against Israel. They are now demanding that Arafat arrest men Israel has accused of complicity in the assassination of Israeli tourism minister Ze'evi before they ease the chokehold they have placed upon the Palestinian leader. As the New Year approaches, it looks as if President Arafat will spend the Orthodox Christmas looking at Israeli tanks outside the windows of his Ramallah offices. (www.albawaba.com)

Dance for Parkinson's kicks off fourth year with Mark Morris Dance Group
Four years ago, people battling Parkinson's disease the Northwest were given a challenge. Get up, and get on the dance floor.
This year, world-class professional dancers will challenge them again during the fourth annual Dance for Parkinson's workshop.This program inspires those living with Parkinson's disease to explore the benefits of dance and movement with others who share some of the challenging symptoms of the disease.
Dance for Parkinson's was initiated in the Northwest by Seattle Theatre Group in partnership with EvergreenHealth and Spectrum Dance Theater. EvergreenHealth is one of the first healthcare organizations in the nation to provide this program, hosting a quarterly series of classes each year since 2009.
"The ability to help Parkinson's patients reclaim independent movement through creative dance is effective therapy not just physically, but emotionally," said Dr. Juan Aragon, Director of Medical Specialties and Medical Staff at EvergreenHealth. "Dancers leave the class glowing and truly inspired, which is beautiful to see in our patients."
This year, the program offers classes in Kirkland (Peter Kirk Community Center), Seattle (Garfield Community Center) and Des Moines (Des Moines Senior Center). Classes are free of charge, are led by professional dancers, and engage students in dance styles such as ballet, jazz, contemporary and tap. These dances will address PD-specific concerns such as balance, flexibility, coordination, isolation and depression. No dance experience is required, and the fun, uplifting classes are a welcome respite from the stress of Parkinson's on participants and caregivers.
A new eight-week fall season will kick off with a special visit from David Leventhal, former principal dancer for Mark Morris Dance Group from 1997-2011 and Program Manager for Dance for PD in New York City.
To register for the Seattle and Des Moines classes, visit Northwest Parkinson's Foundation. People interested in the Mark Morris Dance Group Dance for PD seminar on Oct. 4 can sign up now.

At UFC 166, Junior dos Santos (right) suffered incredible damage during a nearly five-round fight against UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez. Despite dos Santos' battered face and significantly slowed demeanor in the cage, the fighter's jiu jitsu coach said he 'never considered throwing in the towel.'
By Christopher Murphy @MurphMMA
Yuri Carlton is a man who many people have been questioning in the past few days. He is the Brazilian jiu jitsu coach of former UFC heavyweight champion, Junior dos Santos, the man who suffered an excruciating beating in his most recent bout at UFC 166.
UFC President Dana White voiced his disapproval with dos Santos' corner and the referee for allowing the fight to continue. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the governing body that oversaw UFC 166, suspended Junior dos Santos indefinitely after the amount of punishment he took last Saturday. The TDLR ruled that dos Santos must first receive clearance from an ear, nose and throat doctor before he can resume fighting. Even dos Santos himself admitted that he was essentially knocked out on his feet, saying that he did not remember the last two and a half rounds, nor his post-fight interview.
Yet Carlton, who is dos Santos' jiu jitsu coach, told MMA Fighting that ending the fight never occurred to him, though he admits it would not be his decision.
"To be honest," he said, "I never considered throwing in the towel. If something like that ever happens, [dos Santos' boxing coach] Luiz Carlos Dorea would be the one to decide. I was hoping for the knockout all the time. In the fifth round, 'Cigano' went for that choke. Anything can happen. We see a guy lose the whole fight and then win in the last round. It happens all the time. We're not impressed by blood or anything like that, neither is 'Cigano'. He always fights for the win, no matter what."
And indeed, dos Santos had an opportunity to turn the fight in the fifth round when he went for a d'Arce choke. Velasquez would escape, leaving dos Santos vulnerable to punches that ended the fight, but that was the opportunity Carlton had hoped his fighter would seize. Even still, he admits that he was not hopeful during the fight.
"He always tries that submission in the gym, and he submits a lot of sparring partners here with it. He went for it automatically. Cain Velasquez rolled to defend and 'Cigano' felt his face on the ground and couldn't fight anymore. But even if he didn't hit his head on the ground he wouldn't win anyway, it wouldn't change the fight. He was already beat. We hoped he could land a good punch even if he was completely tired, but it didn't happen.
"After the second round, he was fighting in the autopilot mode but he didn't tell me he thought he lost in the second round. But that's normal. Sometimes you go out with a punch or a good elbow but keep fighting automatically. That's normal."
While many fans and people outside the sport are certainly shocked at the decision to allow Junior dos Santos to continue, Javier Mendez, who coaches Cain Velasquez, said he understands.
"I would've been torn," the head coach at American Kickboxing Academy told Ariel Helwani on Monday. "I might've stopped the fight… But I would've been like, 'Man, I don't know, because my fighter is such a great warrior, he takes good shots, he still has a chance to win.' Man, it would've been a tough call."
All said and done, the most important thing is that Junior dos Santos is recovering. Depending on what doctors find, it could be a while before he is allowed back into the cage, but the tenacity the former UFC heavyweight champion displayed leaves no doubts that he will find his way back into the Octagon soon.Tags: Cain Velasquez, cigano, Dana White, JDS, Junior Dos Santos, mma, MMA NEWS, ufc, UFC 166, ufc news

Sixteen Harrier GR.7/9 V/STOL (vertical and/or short take-off and landing) jets flew over the UK Midlands Wednesday to mark the type's retirement from British military service. The 70-strong Harrier force fell victim to the recent Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), and the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has since rushed to ground them in a vain attempt to stem criticism of the decision. Three former First Sea Lords (heads of the Royal Navy) called for their retention, and that of HMS Ark Royal, the aircraft carrier that has also been axed. The UK will now be without carriers until 2020, when one of two Queen Elizabeth II-class ships will enter service, with Lockheed Martin F-35C Joint Strike Fighters embarked.
AIN understands that in the meantime, the MoD hopes to preserve carrier-flying expertise by sending some pilots on exchange tours with U.S. Navy F/A-18 squadrons. But there have been calls for the same goal to be achieved by retaining some Harriers in a reserve squadron. The SDSR deferred a decision on making greater use of Reserves in the British military mix.


text: A Nikon F3HP that's been working perfectly fine began to exhibit odd frame spacing on the last 8 rolls I've shot. I think there is a pattern, or a regularity, I don't have the film next to me, but it goes something like a one normal space, then an extra wide space, then a narrow (to the point of the frames nearly touching) space, repeat... Again, that's not precisely the sequence, but it does seem fixed. Ideas? Common? Fixable? I've no idea how this winding/spacing mechanism works or goes bad. Would be nice to correct though. The only thing that has changed in the camera recently is maybe 50 or so rolls ago I had the shutter adjusted b/c it was bouncing. (Sure love these bodies, but I feel like I'm always dragging one of mine in for repair...but I guess they're old so can hardly complain.) Anyway, thanks in advance.

TWO motorcycle enthusiasts have opened Stourbridge's first dedicated motorcycle centre.
John Birchill and his business partner Mark Coyle, have converted a unit on Mill Race Lane into Stourbridge Motorcycle Centre, a garage providing motorbike servicing, repairs and MOTs.
The unit also has a showroom containing new learner legal vehicles, spare parts, rider accessories and riding equipment.
Although currently only open at weekends, the new venture has already created three job opportunities.
However, when the riding season commences from mid-March, the service centre will be open full time, with plans to expand the team further.
Mr Birchill said: "As avid motorcyclists we noticed a lack of facilities in Stourbridge for riders, so we decided to fill the gap in the market and set up a reliable servicing centre ourselves.
"Our dedicated and experienced team of mechanics can carry out services and MOT motorcycles on site, meaning customers will no longer have to travel to other towns."
He added: "Having already received a high level of enquires before we've even opened, we have high hopes for the future."

NASA is currently testing 3D printing possibilities while astronauts are in outer space. For example, there is a need of hex head 5/37 inch needs on orbit and 3D printers can replicate these tools. Another example of 3D printer usage that could save NASA a lot of money are the printing of feet used in seat tracks, which are also the same kind that are used on airplanes.
Niki Werkheiser, the lead for 3D printing in Zero-G ISS Technology for NASA, said that "3D printing in Zero-G will be ready to launch in early June of 2014. Currently we're slated for SpaceX 5. The goal of 3D printing is that we want to take this to microgravity and for use on the International Space Station. As you might imagine, on Space Station, whatever they have available on orbit is what they have to use. And just like on the ground you have parts that break or get lost. When that happens, we do have to wait for replacement parts, or we have to use multiple spares that have to be launched which does require extra mass. The idea here is that we will, on demand, be able to print replacement or spare parts as needed. We can have the prints preloaded onto the printer or we can upload directly from the ground. So we'll have an on demand 3D printing capability on station." NASA is having vendors test their equipment in zero-gravity planes.
The 3D printing industry as a whole is extremely robust. UPS is starting to offer 3D printing in their retail stores. eBay and Amazon have both launched hubs for 3D printer products.

More than 50 colleges and universities will be featured at the sixth annual College Fair at Burnsville High School from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29, in the gym at the main campus, 600 E. Highway 13.
Students in grades 9-12 and parents are encouraged to attend. The public is also invited at no charge.
Two- and four-year colleges and universities from throughout the Upper Midwest will participate, and representatives will be available to answer questions about degrees, programs, admission requirements, scholarships, tuition and more.
"Education beyond high school is more important than ever," said Veronica Walter, a guidance counselor at Burnsville High School. "That's why we encourage students to explore their options by attending the fair and speaking with college representatives."
"We are committed to helping students explore and find the 'right fit' for post-high school education," she added.
The event is sponsored by Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 and the Minnesota Association of Counselors of Color.

Although petroleum exploration was mostly a new business at the time, C.T. McLaughlin had always wanted to be a driller.
And when he came to the end of his service as a soldier in World War I, he took his separation pay of $37.50 and bought a train ticket from Pennsylvania to Texas.
In the boom towns of Wichita Falls and the Seymour area, he was able to rent a cot for eight hours — and eight hours only — because others had rented the same cot for the second and third eight-hour shifts.
He got a job on an oil rig, saved his money, bought nice clothes, and presented himself as an oil driller.
"Daddy traveled all the time, and he came home one evening and mother had dinner ready," his daughter, Evelyn Davies, remembers.
"He had been driving all day to get home, and he said, 'Well, today I bought a ranch.'
"That was the early 1930s. Of course, we four children were thrilled. We thought that was a pretty good thing to do.
"Mother was somewhat taken aback."
He had been operating an oil drilling business with a logo that was shaped like a diamond, with his partner's initials in one side of the diamond, and his own in the other side. When the partner became uneasy with the daring decisions McLaughlin was making, and quit the business, McLaughlin erased all the initials. It left only the diamond, and he simply began referring to all of his business dealings as the Diamond M, with the M presumably standing for McLaughlin.
Davies, now a resident of Lubbock, recalls that the family never actually lived on the ranch that was located near Snyder.
"We lived in Wichita Falls, because my father wanted us in the Wichita Falls school system. Mother would take the four children and the dog in the car, and drive to Snyder for long weekends. We would go in May when school was out and stay for the summer on the ranch, then go back to Wichita Falls at the end of August."
McLaughlin developed the ranch into a prosperous enterprise with a cow-calf operation that utilized a breeding program of Hereford bulls and Black Angus cows.
Davies remembers that her father was a very hospitable man, and during World War II, he invited pilots to the ranch for barbecue when they could come. And there was a base at Sweetwater that also was the home station for women fliers who ferried warplanes to various locations across the United States.
"Daddy invited them more than once for a barbecue, and to walk around and see the cattle."
She remembers the women worked hard in the military service, but were often ignored and poorly compensated.
McLaughlin also began bringing show horses to the ranch shortly after World War II ended.
"He had a ring with bleachers built. Then he would invite 200 people, and have a lunch served out close to the show ring, with tables under the trees."
But McLaughlin was still familiar with the oil industry also, and knew people who were active in drilling and exploration. He was able to successfully suggest the possibilities of oil on his ranch, and the oilmen drilled some test wells in the late 1940s. One struck such a large reservoir of oil that it blew out in a way that was reminiscent of Spindletop. His wife, Claire, complained that it was too close to the ranch house, close enough to spray oil on the kitchen window.
A few years later, they held a celebration for the well's one-millionth barrel, Davies remembers.
The field, of course, was named the Diamond M.
When McLaughlin passed away in 1965, he owned ranches in Texas, Colorado and New Mexico.
Referring to the Diamond M in Scurry County, Davies said, "We inherited it as a foursome."
Eventually, she began to feel that the Diamond M was being managed by a committee, and she traded her interest in the other ranches for sole ownership of the Diamond M.
"I loved it," she said.
She enclosed three sides of the front porch with large windows. "I could see the sun come up, and I could see the sun going down behind the barns.
"There are no two sunrises or sunsets alike."
But in 1989, she decided it was best to sell and move to town.
"It was time. There are no regrets."
The town she and her husband, Bill, chose after careful comparisons was Lubbock —— in part because of the attractions of the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra and the Museum of Texas Tech.
"Lubbock has everything," she said. "Wonderful people live here."
Lubbock, in turn, has a souvenir from the Diamond M Ranch: A gift of the Diamond M Gallery to the Museum of Texas Tech.
The Diamond M family's foundation provided the expansion through matching funds from Lubbock residents.
And in Scurry County, the Diamond M field is still producing oil.

Senator Foley Protects Victims of Domestic Violence
Legislation sponsored by Senator Brian X. Foley (D – Blue Point) aimed at protecting the rights and security of victims of domestic violence has been signed into law by Governor Paterson.
The new law allows victims of domestic violence to request a court order that requires the Board of Elections to keep their registration records confidential. This means that victims will be afforded an added layer of protection in keeping their new address out of the hands of their abusers.
"We can never do enough to protect victims of domestic violence," said Senator Foley. "By overhauling a broken and antiquated law that punishes victims, we are taking another important step forward in helping victims rebuild their lives. Keeping the location of these individuals confidential allows them to exercise their fundamental right to vote while helping to ensure their safety."
"This legislation helps victims of domestic violence maintain normalcy in their lives," said Pamela C. Johnson, Executive Director of Victims Information Bureau of Suffolk (VIBS), an organization that assists survivors of domestic violence, rape or sexual assault. "No one should have to choose between their safety and the fundamental right to vote and this will allow victims to protect their anonymity and further reduce stalking by the abuser."
Under the old law, the Board of Elections was required to provide the address of any registered voter to any person who submits the request in writing and cites the applicable law. As a result, victims of domestic violence were forced to choose between security and voting, and often did not register to vote.

For "These Days," the gallery at Sotheby's is made over to look like "some combination of my living room and bedroom," said Mr. Schnabel. The Richard Gluckman-designed space is typically white, with a circular column in the center of the room. Mr. Schnabel has covered it with wood panels like those found in Palazzo Chupi, placed lime-green carpet on the floors and painted the ceiling a dark brown so that it "looks like leather." Sotheby's didn't really give Mr. Schnabel any limitations on what he wanted to do; the installation took eight frenzied days.
Three of the works, early paintings by Mr. Colen that were cordoned off in a separate room, hang on the walls of Mr. Schnabel's home. Those aren't for sale. (Alex Rotter, head of contemporary art at Sotheby's, would not tell The Observer what artworks have already sold, but regarding how many of them have been purchased, he offered, "A lot. There are very few things still available.")
The opening was a mix of established collectors in suits, Sotheby's employees in black cocktail dresses, and young artists—like one of the Bruces, whose appearance, out of solidarity, we will not describe further—in torn denim. Mary-Kate Olsen showed up, as did a confused-looking Lou Reed, a longtime neighbor of the Schnabels. Mr. Reed, who was wearing a long black trench coat, leaned against the wall next to The Gate. We asked him if he liked the art.
"I like the pizza," he said, gesturing with his hand to Pizzatopia, also by Bruce High Quality, which Mr. Schnabel describes as "a good New York City pie with the New York skyline on it." Asked if he was a fan of the artists on display, Mr. Reed responded flatly: "I don't know any of the artists here except for Julian."
The Observer bumped into the older Mr. Schnabel in a side room that held three white paintings by Mr. Koh. The room, naturally, was kept a stark white and seemed to glow in comparison to the rest of the gallery.
"I like that they look like molten lava," Mr. Schnabel said of the paintings' white-on-white texture. If they hadn't been devoid of color, they would, in fact, have looked more than a bit like some of Mr. Schnabel's own work. "Or mountain ranges. They look like a lot of things. When you make art for a long enough time, you learn."
As he talked, he backed away, still talking, and, like Vito, shifted his weight back and forth in front of one of the canvases. He paused for a moment and then offered his son some passing praise: "You learn how to make a show."

NZCPA chief questions Lou Vincent's life ban
The head of the New Zealand Cricket Players' Association says the life ban imposed on former test batsman Lou Vincent for match-fixing might deter other players from admitting similar activities.
The England and Wales Cricket Board last week slapped Vincent with 11 life bans, to be served concurrently, after he admitted taking money to manipulate limited-overs matches in the English county competition.
The ban means the 35-year-old Vincent, who played 23 tests and more than 100 one-day internationals for New Zealand, can't have any future involvement in cricket or even enter a stadium while a match is in progress.
NZCPA chief executive Heath Mills said that while Vincent's behavior was ''unacceptable,'' the severity of the sanction might deter others from admitting their wrongdoing or providing information on match-fixing activities to anti-corruption officials.
''What Lou Vincent has done is unacceptable and it required a heavy sanction,'' Mills said. ''However, the bigger goal here has to be the fight against corruption in our sport. The anti-corruption officers have few tools in this fight and their most important tool is information from players.
''So by not giving people credit for coming forward and providing information, you are effectively putting up a significant barrier for anyone coming forward in the future.''
Vincent pleaded guilty to 18 match-fixing or spot-fixing charges involving matches he played for English counties Lancashire in 2008 and Durham in 2011. Eleven of the 18 offences carried life bans.
He had previously been banned for three years by Bangladesh for not reporting an approach to fix matches while playing in that country's Twenty20 league.

State Public Regulation Commission District 3 constituents piled into the Santa Fe Women's Club auditorium Thursday to pose questions to candidates running for election.
All four Democratic Commission hopefuls attended the question and answer forum. Those include outgoing Santa Fe County Commissioner Virginia Vigil, Santa Fe County Clerk Valerie Espinoza, Ben Maki, a former aide to United States Representative Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and small business owner Brad Gallegos. The primary is scheduled for June 5.
Authorities say a man opened fire on police during a drug bust in Greenland, New Hampshire, killing the police chief and injuring four other officers.
Wildfire awareness
Residents are urged to attend an informational event called "Wildfire 2012" from 1-5 p.m. Saturday in the council chambers and adjacent Training Room (inside the Community Building.
DPU meeting
The Board of Public Utilities will meet at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the DPU Conference Room, located at 170 Central Park Square.
Budget hearings
The Los Alamos County Council will hold budget meetings 6-10 p.m. Monday through Wednesday in council chambers.
LAGA meeting
Governor Susana Martinez directed the Public Education Department Wednesday to move forward with the formulation and implementation of a new teacher and principal evaluation system in New Mexico. The new evaluation system will ensure that student learning and academic growth are key factors in how teachers and principals are evaluated.
"It's incredibly important that we're able to identify those teachers and principals who are contributing most to the academic success of their students, so that we can reward them for the impact they are having on our kids. And it's equally important for us to be able to provide support and professional development to those teachers who are struggling," Martinez said.
San Ildefonso Governor Terry Aguilar was invited to address the Los Alamos County Council Tuesday night and chair Sharon Stover said she was eager to work with the pueblo.
Aguilar explained that the pueblo's new form of governance, which was approved by the Secretary of the Interior on Dec. 21, is slowing progress on many issues.
"I wanted to explain to you that the way business has been done in the past is different, and it's not as easy to move things forward, and its going to be taking a slow pace," Aguilar said. "Because we're learning, and we're trying to develop new governance."
The new system allows women to be part of the governing body for the first time.
As part of the Los Alamos County compensation plan, staff was directed to review and reduce the number of job levels and titles. The plan received council approval Tuesday evening in a 4–2 vote.
The new plan reduces the number of job classes from 269 to 230, a 14 percent reduction. Changes were made by consolidating similar job titles, eliminating obsolete titles and removing approximately 16 jobs that had been unionized during 2011.
The revisions also minimize artificial education barriers to staff development or promotion by enabling evaluation of combined experience and education.
Management and staff from every department participated in eight days of discussions to develop the recommendations.
A mother in Argentina says she fell to her knees in shock after finding her baby alive in a coffin in the morgue nearly 12 hours after the girl had been declared dead.

Sony HX200 GPS and Autofocus
Just a note to the forum, having had questions about the GPS and autofocus functions before I bought the camera, now posting my experiences here for potential buyers:
The HX200 wants to focus and its GPS wants to lock in, which sounds like an odd review unless you've tried out competitive products which have a tendency hunt instead of focus (it's the journey, not the destination) and lock in to the GPS on a when-I-get-around-to-it basis.
A cold start GPS fix is typically under 30 seconds under reasonable conditions (buildings, trees, etc.), which is in the league of any GPS product out there, while the autofocus is well within reason, but not quite DSLR speed. With the autofocus, you have to factor in the atmospherics you get at extreme zoom over distance, which would probably give a DSLR problems as well
Bottom Line: As a bridge camera, sporting a lens you would never be able to implement on a DSLR, the HX200 costs a bit more than competitive products, but is worth every penny.
