How Hard Is The Life Insurance Exam?
When you administer for a activity allowance action it's accepted convenance to accept to abide some anatomy of medical appraisal. Humans generally get it in their active this is some affectionate of atrociously arduous obstacle advance insurance-approved medical clinicians devise to edger out 'undesirable' policyholders. In truth, the assay you'll accept is abundant like a accepted concrete at your doctor's arrangement and, in some cases, it may be a little beneath stressful.
As with any insurance, it is actual important to accumulate paperwork and/or aggregation name accessible to your beneficiaries if the time arises. It is as simple as registering on a activity allowance database to agreement this advice will never get absent and become a absent activity allowance policy.
Since you are a accessible accountability to the allowance company, the medical assay is acclimated to acquisition any basal altitude that can or will abbreviate your activity or abnormally aftereffect your all-embracing health. Claret tests are acclimated to analysis for altitude like diabetes, allowed deficiencies or disorders or added altitude which could accessible abbreviate your lifespan. There is aswell usually a urine awning to analysis for medications or actionable biologic usage. The after-effects from the tests are acclimated by an allowance advocate to set your allowance appraisement and actuate area your action exceptional is traveling to be. Most acceptable you'll get a archetype of the analysis after-effects for your own annal and, if there are added tests you need, a aftereffect annular of testing will be scheduled.
The medical assay is appointed afterwards you've filed all the anterior affidavit and all-important appliance materials. It's accessible for abounding humans to agenda their exams at home or their abode but sometimes it's all-important to agenda an arrangement with an absolute medical profession for claret and lab work. You'll be asked for a abundant history of your bloom so it's a acceptable abstraction to get a archetype of your medical annal from your approved physician – it will save time and end up getting abundant added authentic than your memory! Height, weight and claret burden are arrested and, if you charge a claret sample taken, it may just be something as simple as a finger-prick. But, depending on how abundant you're absent your action to awning or how admired the action is, it's accessible you'll accept to get a abounding claret workup. Lastly, you'll be asked to accommodate a urine sample and again you're done. Not so bad, right?
You don't accept to be an Olympic amateur or a committed chase agent to authorize for a absolute activity allowance policy, so don't anguish if you're not the archetypal of animal perfection. If the abstraction of accepting the assay worries you or you're afraid about getting denied advantage because of your health, try and get a acceptable night's beddy-bye the day (or canicule arch up to) the assay – at atomic 8 hours is recommended. If you're a smoker yield a abbreviate breach from nicotine and added stimulants like caffeine; cut aback or cut out the coffee for a brace of days. Avoid demanding exercise the day afore the assay and be abiding and break on a healthy, counterbalanced diet plan. Give your physique and apperception a blow from your demanding plan day by scheduling your assay at home afore work, if possible. If you're already bloom conscious, abide to eat a alimental and counterbalanced diet, get approved checkups and don't amplify it or alpha an ailing addiction like smoking.

IndieLondon caught up with Lauren Shuler Donner, big wig X-Men producer and one of the minds behind Constantine 2, Donner is eager to get cracking on the X-Men Origins: Magneto story. Advertisement All Donner will say about the Wolverine origins flick is that it's very much "in the tone of the first X-Men." As for Magneto, Donner said:We have a great script on Magneto. I'll tell you the honest truth… I've made four movie this year and I was so busy that I didn't at all talk to the studio while making Magneto because I couldn't have done it. And David Goyer, who wrote and is going to direct it, also did another movie. So now, he's done with his and I'm done with two of mine, so when I get back that's my first order of business to say: "Come on, let's go and make Magneto.So here's my question, I'm going to go ahead and assume that Wolverine's origins tale will be successful, and Magneto does well also, at least in the box office. That means more character driven movies on the rise (which has been obvious). What X-Men character (that they aren't already currently making) do you want to see get their own solo movie deal? Our vote is for Deadpool. And maybe Kitty Pryde. Advertisement [IndieLondon via Filmonic]Reply39 repliesLeave a reply

How I Met Your Aeros: Thomas Neal
It's been an interesting, adventurous year for Akron Aeros outfielder Thomas Neal.
At this point last year, Neal was riding the wave of being named the San Francisco Giants' 4th best prospect in 2010 according to Baseball America (only behind Buster Posey, Madison Bumgarner, and Zack Wheeler) and their 7th best prospect in the Giants' system headed into 2011. Neal was described as having a "combination of power, arm strength and surprising ability to cover ground in either outfield corner" and drew comparisons to Jermaine Dye. In their view, Neal had a "chance to establish himself as an everyday player in 2012."
Fast forward to July 30, 2011. Neal had a respectable .295/.351/.409 slash line in his first experience in AAA, but he had been limited to 60 games and only 2 home runs due to a hand injury. With his prospect stock falling and the Giants in need of infield help, the Indians acquired him in exchange for Orlando Cabrera. After the trade Neal would only manage 10 more games as a shoulder injury he originally had in 2007 flared back up on a throw from the outfield.
Luckily for the Indians and for Neal, things are starting to get better. He acknowledged that injuries have been a problem in the past when I interviewed him before Friday night's game at Canal Park, but he said that "everything's good though." He has been going above and beyond this year to battle his injury problem, thinking way out of the box.
"I've actually been working with our pitching coach, Tony [Arnold]," Neal said. "I pulled him to the side and asked to kinda work on the mechanics of my throwing, because I knew that was a big part of why I injured my shoulder. The changes that I have made throwing-wise, they've helped tremendously and I'm starting to feel like I'm getting to where I can be and should be."
Working with Coach Arnold is an example of how Neal really feels he fits into this organization. While Neal admitted that "both organizations [the Giants and the Indians] help out their players," he feels that "the Indians do just a little bit more and I think they definitely have to put that investment in."
He's even getting used to Ohio now, after growing up and playing most of his professional games in California. "Early on, it was a little bit colder than I'm used to," he said, "but you kinda get used to it and it's been warming up and it's starting to be fun."
In addition to adjusting to Ohio, Neal has been working on his swing. He worked on some adjustments in the offseason, but he says that "I'm still tinkering with some things; the biggest thing is trying to get comfortable."
Neal knows that people like me and scouts are concerned with his lack of power, but he said, "The biggest thing I'm trying to do as a hitter is get to a spot where I can be the most consistent, making hard contact."
Neal's even using his demotion to AA as a learning tool, considering how Canal Park plays. As he describes it, "You hit a high fly ball here, you're going to be out. So in my eyes, there's no point trying to hit a high fly ball here; you might as well hit it hard – hard line drives, hard ground balls – and take your base hits."
That hitting approach has been showing its dividends. The season's still young, but Neal currently holds a .278 BA, .381 OBP, and .343 wOBA, nothing to sneeze at. His 10.4 K% and 10.4 BB% are also encouraging to see his second time through the AA level, so even as the power has not shown through yet (he only has a .067 ISO and no home runs), Neal is using a good approach at the plate.
Neal may not hold the infinite promise that he seemed to hold in 2010 or 2011, but considering that he's only in his age-24 season, he still has time to develop into at least a fourth outfielder. The Indians may have removed him from their 40-man roster earlier in the year, but he understands that.
"Tthey had to make a business decision," Neal said. "My job is to go out there and play the game. I know I can play it well and I'm going to continue to go out there and work hard and do everything I need to do to make it to the big leagues."
Neal is a likeable guy who loves to interact with fans (his Twitter handle is @TdaddyNeal – though he won't be on it again until he either has a .300 batting average or 25 RBI) and is working hard on his game. He has been a treat to watch in Akron and hopefully for everyone's sake he will develop into a right-handed outfield bat the Indians so desperately need.

The 2013 Nissan Sentra- PGI Auto
The 2013 Nissan Sentra has been redesigned for the new year with a new stylish exterior and cutting edge technology throughout the interior. Even though the car is slightly longer and taller than its predecessor, engineers were able to shave 150 pounds from its overall weight. This, along with its new CVT-style transmission, helps this Sentra to be the most fuel-efficient yet powerful model than ever before.
In the picture below, you can really see the improvements of the back end, especially the LED taillights which are some of the most inspired in the industry. Nissan has succeeded at making a very practical sedan look like a sporty roadster – something at which all other automakers are attempting but not succeeding.
One of the fun new features on the Sentra is the 'Easy Fill Tire Alert' which alerts the driver when a tire drops under a safe pressure level, and then alerts the driver when they have filled it back to acceptable levels.
For more information about the Sentra, or to take a look at any Nissan vehicle, contact Larson Nissan, proudly serving the Tacoma area.

The Trentino is DOC
Trentodoc is a direct reflection of the land that produces it, Trentino. A small region, perhaps, but its borders host a wide variety of climates, from Garda, the first tangible sign of the Mediterranean world for those arriving from Germany, to the extraordinary natural monument of the Dolomites, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2009.
A DOC climate
In the Trentino region you'll find the temperature variations typical of a mountain environment. These are necessary for producing an exceptional metodo classico sparkling wine. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, which are the best grapes for producing Trentodoc sparkling wine, ripen perfectly in these special conditions, helped by the nature of the terrain itself.
The land is DOC
The diversity of the land is a blessing for Trentodoc winemaking. The Trentino region features extraordinary geological variations that range from calcareous to porphyritic volcanic soils. With such a large diversity of soils that can bestow different characteristics to the wine, each Trentodoc producer can better express the potential of individual areas.
The perfection of the Trentodoc
A special wine
The secret to a wine like Trentodoc, besides the land – which is certainly the most important factor – is the so-called "metodo classico" production process.
Our Land
find out more>
To create a Trentodoc sparkling wine we must start, first of all, with the land where the vines put down their roots. A unique territory, capable of transferring all of its energy to the bubbles in the wine.
Our grapes
find out more>
To obtain the characteristics of a Trentodoc sparkling wine – elegance, body, lightness – you need just the right varieties of grape.
Our region
find out more>
The Trentino region is unique, distinguished by temperature variations and winds blowing in from Lake Garda, which means here, and only here, can the grape become a Trentodoc wine.
The metodo classico
find out more>
Trentodoc sparkling wine is produced exclusively in line with strict regulations in order to obtain DOC certification, (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) the seal of quality for our metodo classico.
find out more>
Remuage, the process of rotating the bottle by hand, is carried out by every one of our Trentodoc producers. Another sign of the care and passion that goes into this wine.
find out more>
Every great producer of Trentodoc knows how to conduct flawless disgorgement. This removes the accumulated lees.

Computer model generates automatic captions for images
CIFAR fellows have created a machine learning system that generates captions for images from scratch, scanning scenes and putting together a sentence to describe what it sees.
Caption generation is an example of a fundamental problem of artificial intelligence, one which distinguishes human intelligence – our ability to make sense of our environment — and constructs descriptions that other people can readily understand, according to Richard Zemel (University of Toronto), a CIFAR Senior Fellow in the program in the Learning in Machines & Brains program (formerly known as Neural Computation & Adaptive Perception) (NCAP) and a co-author on the paper.
The ability to generate captions automatically has implications for companies such as Facebook and Google, which need to manage millions of images, but Zemel says it could also be useful for helping blind people learn their surroundings.
Other research in this area has taught computers to describe scenes by matching an image to the correct sentence from a predetermined set, or giving it a sentence and teaching it to pull images from the Internet that match. "Generating captions from scratch is harder," Zemel says.
The new technique uses an approach for translating languages developed by CIFAR Senior Fellow Yoshua Bengio (University of Montreal) and applies it to a more difficult kind of translation — from images to words. "Instead of it being in French, now it's in images," says Zemel.
Along with a team from the University of Toronto consisting of Ryan Kiros, Jimmy Ba and Ruslan Salakhutdinov, also an NCAP fellow, and Université de Montreal's Kelvin Xu, Kyunghyun Cho, Aaron Courville and Bengio, Zemel developed a model that is special because it can select an area to fix its attention on, examines the area to see what is in it, describes it, and then chooses the next region. This is similar to how humans parse an image, finding the important regions, one at a time, and piecing together the whole scene.
"People have always wanted to put attention in models for two reasons," Zemel says. "We know humans use selective attention, so one aim is to construct models that embody our understanding of how this works. But also, you want to show that there's some computational advantage to doing it."
And there is —their new model works better than those that try to describe an entire image at once. It also learns as it goes along, in a sense, generating its next word based on what it knows about the words that came before. For example, if the computer scans one region of an image and generates the word "boat," it is much more likely to generate a word such as "water" later in the sentence than, say, "cat," because it understands that "water" and "boat" appear together much more frequently in language.
The model advances past research on what is called classification, which involves training computers to recognize similar objects – such as cats in the case of Google Brain's 2012 achievement. "The NCAP program has been very successful at doing classification," Zemel says. Fellows have won many contests with models that classify images quickly and with a high degree of accuracy.
"To go beyond that we really want to understand what's in an image. Not just say that there's a dog in there, but we'd like to be able to describe the whole scene," Zemel says. One of the next steps is to extend this approach to describe videos, too.

General counsel takes plea in $39M foreign bribery case
Posted Jan 07, 2014 07:35 pm CST
A U.S. lawyer who formerly served as general counsel to an oil and gas company based in the Virgin Islands has pleaded guilty and two former top executives face charges in a federal foreign bribery case made public this week.
Attorney Gregory Weisman, 42, pleaded guilty on Nov. 8 in federal court in Camden, N.J., to a single count of conspiracy to commit bribery and wire fraud in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to Bloomberg, Corporate Crime Reporter and the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.).
Two former CEOs of PetroTiger Ltd. were charged Nov. 8. They are Joseph Sigelman, 42, who was a banker with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. before joining the company, and Knut Hammarskjold, 42. Both face conspiracy charges as well as counts alleging substantive violations of the FCPA. Sigelman was arrested Jan. 3 in the Philippines and appeared at a bail hearing today in Guam, Bloomberg reports; and Hammarskjold was arrested Nov. 20 and released on $700,000 bail Dec. 4, according to court records. Lawyers for the co-CEOs could not be located, the WSJ says. If convicted, they could face maximum prison sentences of 20 years or more.
The defendants are accused of paying more than $300,000 in bribes from a U.S. bank account under the guise of reimbursement for purported management consultant work, in an effort to obtain a $39.6 million contract from a state-controlled oil company in Colombia. A Department of Justice press release provides further details.
"Mr. Weisman has fully accepted responsibility for his role in this matter and looks forward to the opportunity to move on," his lawyer, Michael Schwartz of Pepper Hamilton, told Bloomberg. His client faces a maximum prison term of five years when he is sentenced.
Weisman is general counsel of the Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Company of Manila Inc., according to a biography on the company's website. It also says that he previously worked at Dechert and Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom, after earning his law degree at the University of Pennsylvania and working on the law review there.
"Bribery of public officials, whether at home or abroad, corrupts business opportunity and undermines trust in government," said U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman of New Jersey in a written statement provided to Bloomberg. "The under-the-table deals alleged in today's charges are not an acceptable way of doing business."

Surf's up in Ponce Inlet, just south of Daytona Beach. Along with awesome waves, the area is best known for Florida's tallest working lighthouse and a marine science center featuring a turtle hospital, a seabird rehabilitation sanctuary, a hands-on aquatic touch pond that's home to stingrays and hermit crabs, a boardwalk, an observation tower and nature trails. At 175 feet and with 203 steps, the lighthouse offers a nice workout for those craving some exercise, but don't be intimidated; the climb is totally doable, even for kids. And the view is worth it. Later, be sure to relax along one of Ponce Inlet's gorgeous beaches, perfect for walking, jogging, and a wide variety of water activities.

If you enjoy analyzing documents, databases and various other sources of information, becoming a data analyst may be a natural career path for you. Most data analyst jobs allow for some creativity in terms of how data is used and interpreted, but they are also held to strict guidelines in many industries.
The most skilled data analysts are ones with comprehensive understanding their field and all the unique requirements and protocols in their industry. With this expertise, you will be able to accurately and efficiently analyze information to find areas of opportunity for your company.
Proven success in a data analyst job will allow you to command a higher salary. Currently, data analyst salaries range from roughly $42,000 to $70,000 and are highly dependent on your years of experience.
Data analysts are needed across Canada in a wide range of industries and fields, leading to consistent demand and salaries. As with many tech jobs, the highest demand is found in city centres such as Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary.

Data analyst jobs require a great deal of focus and discipline. As a data analyst, you spend a lot of time looking at databases, charts and other data. You use all this information to put together reports and updates for management, sales groups, shareholders, clients, and in some cases, even the public.
As a data analyst, you may report to personnel ranging from managers and directors, usually in the IT department of your company, to top-level executives such as the CIO, CTO or even the CEO. Who you report to will depend on the industry you work in and size of the company you work at.
As a data analyst, your company counts on you to accurately assess company data and report on your findings. You may analyze data pertaining to your company, its products and services, clientele, or any other information your company needs to be analyzed.
Your job as a data analyst is to turn numbers and information into usable charts, graphs, and reports that can be shared with management, shareholders, and clients.
Data analysts spend the majority of their working hours assessing information, however, interpersonal skills and communication may be required at times. You may sometimes be required to collaborate with other team members. Some data analyst jobs may also require to you explain your analysis to management or present meaningful reports during meetings.
Data analyst jobs are found in many different verticals, including information technology, banking and finance, manufacturing, government, and healthcare, among others.
In our digital age, businesses of all sizes, in all industries, collect massive amounts of data. Data analysts are needed to make sense of all this information and find ways to use it to their company's advantage.
Your company relies on your expertise to find areas of opportunity for the business, as well as to create reports and learn from both successes and failures. Your expertise can be essential in guiding management and executives as they make important business decisions.
To succeed in a data analyst job, you must be able to process large amounts of information and condense it into key takeaways that can be easily communicated.
Some skills and characteristics that will serve you well:
Data analysts are often privy to secure and encrypted information, so many companies will require a criminal background check before offering you a data analyst job. You may also be subject to taking regular drug tests to ensure you bring a clear mind to your work.
It's possible to find a data analyst job with no formal training or degree, but your likelihood of securing a data analyst job increases if you have a background in IT. Though a four degree in a business or IT related field will lead to the best opportunities, a two-year degree or a certification can also be helpful. If you plan to advance into supervisory or management roles after a few years, it's highly recommended you opt for a formal degree.
Some entry level data analyst jobs do not require prior experience, however, it's becoming more unusual, as growing numbers of people hold academic degrees and training certifications specifically related to this field. If your goal is to secure a data analyst job, you may want to consider internships or volunteer opportunities with nonprofits to build your knowledge base.
Data analyst jobs can lead to more senior roles in the IT department, such as senior analyst roles, like big data analyst, or related supervisory positions.
In order to progress from an entry-level data analyst job into more senior roles, you will have to show skill in your role and demonstrate that you're able to work well with a team. Showing off your leadership skills when the opportunity arises, and a background in business may also help you move up the ranks at your company.

ObamaCare — How Nice People Crush Freedom
by Andrew Klavan
Listening to MSM reports about the Supreme Court judges questioning lawyers on ObamaCare has been kind of comical. As Rand Simberg points out, both the media and the government's lawyers seemed wholly unprepared for the basic questions from the judges — questions they would have heard a million times by now if they ever actually listened to conservative commentators instead of simply demonizing them. The conservative judges especially are only asking what Tea Partiers at town hall meetings have been asking since the bill was passed: "If the government can force you to buy insurance for your own good, what CAN'T it force you to do?"
Underlying this question though is a larger issue, put forward by economist Friedrich Hayek in "The Constitution of Liberty":
Not only is liberty a system under which all government action is guided by principles, but it is an ideal that will not be preserved unless it is itself accepted as an overriding principle governing all particular acts of legislation. Where no such fundamental rule is stubbornly adhered to as an ultimate ideal about which there must be no compromise for the sake of material advantages—as an ideal which, even though it may have to be temporarily infringed during a passing emergency, must form the basis of all permanent arrangements—freedom is almost certain to be destroyed by piecemeal encroachments. For in each particular instance it will be possible to promise concrete and tangible advantages as the result of a curtailment of freedom, while the benefits sacrificed will in their nature always be unknown and uncertain.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Mr. Clement: "Mr. Chief Justice and may it please the court. The constitutionality of the act's massive expansion of Medicaid depends on the answer to two related questions. First, is the expansion coercive? And second, does that coercion matter?"
Justice Kagan: "Mr. Clement, can I ask you as just a matter of clarification; would you be making the same argument if, instead of the federal government picking up ninety percent of the cost, the federal government picked a hundred percent of the cost?"
Clement: "Justice Kagan if everything else in the statute remained the same I would be making the exact same argument."
Kagan: "The exact same argument so, so that really reduces to the question of: why is a big gift from the federal government a matter of coercion?
"In other words, the federal government is here saying: we're giving you a boatload of money. There are no, is no matching funds requirement. There are no extraneous conditions attached to it.
"It's just a boatload of federal money for you to take and spend on poor people's healthcare. It doesn't sound coercive to me, I have to tell you."
"It's just a boatload of federal money for you to take and spend on poor people's healthcare. It doesn't sound coercive to me, I have to tell you."

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Good product for the price It is not expensive, pretty compact, and lightweight with very nice design. Wish this grinder has a reverse feature and be a bit more powerful. And when started using it felt some smell from the engine (probably remaining protecting oils or so). But I use it just sometimes, so it is pretty good for me. Overall I'm satisfied with that purchase, got what I paid for. Would recommend it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from disappointed as i opened the box i realized that most of metal parts i completely covered with a kind of oil just like the one we use for door hinges and bikes i washed the cutting plates and when i was drying the cutting blades the paper towel was all brownish red !!! I think because of that oil they were already rusted. and what is the material for the plates ? are they stainless steel????? I m very disappointed with the product and i never used it as i did not want to add metal and rust to my food

Good try but video really lacking
Downgraded to a single start after I tired using it a bit more. Anything you do while streaming the coverage causes the video to drop. Reminder, dropped video. Adjust brightness (any in pull up menu), dropped video. Screen locks, dropped video. These are all things that the masters app had completely covered. I assume it is because then they force you to watch the commercial anytime. The fact that the video does stream, it gets 2. Other stuff is on par with any other golf app. Nothing special there.
Great app but...
Overall nice to have when your leaving the open, watch video, however if your at the open it's better just to follow a group or stay at a certain hole rather than chase 2 or 3 groups. App was a nice touch though.
Scorecards Won't Come Up
Sad Failure: It's now Saturday, just after 2pm EDT. I've just turned on this app. Spieth has just finished 36 at +4. I want to see how that happened. But, in addition to all the other failures covered above, hitting the scorecard icon, whether on full leaderboard, individual, or individual profile, simply keeps you on, or returns you to, full leaderboard. Wonder if PGA will ever fix, much less take accountability for, or even comment on, their production of this failure

Over the last decade, advances in technology have enabled researchers to evaluate concussion biomechanics through measurement of head impacts sustained during play using two primary methods: (1) laboratory reconstruction of open-field head contact, and (2) instrumented helmets. The purpose of this study was to correlate measures of head kinematics recorded by the Head Impact Telemetry (HIT) System (Simbex, NH) with those obtained from a Hybrid III (HIII) anthropometric headform under conditions that mimicked impacts occurring in the NFL. Linear regression analysis was performed to correlate peak linear acceleration, peak rotational acceleration, Gadd Severity Index (GSI), and Head Injury Criterion (HIC(15)) obtained from the instrumented helmet and HIII. The average absolute location error between instrumented helmet impact location and the direction of HIII head linear acceleration were also calculated. The HIT System overestimated Hybrid III peak linear acceleration by 0.9% and underestimated peak rotational acceleration by 6.1% for impact sites and velocities previously identified by the NFL as occurring during play. Acceleration measures for all impacts were correlated; however, linear was higher (r (2) = 0.903) than rotational (r (2) = 0.528) primarily due to lower HIT System rotational acceleration estimates at the frontal facemask test site. Severity measures GSI and HIC were also found to be correlated, albeit less than peak linear acceleration, with the overall difference between the two systems being less than 6.1% for either measure. Mean absolute impact location difference between systems was 31.2 ± 46.3° (approximately 0.038 ± 0.050 m), which was less than the diameter of the impactor surface in the test. In instances of severe helmet deflection (2.54-7.62 cm off the head), the instrumented helmet accurately measured impact location but overpredicted all severity metrics recorded by the HIII. Results from this study indicate that measurements from the two methods of study are correlated and provide a link that can be used to better interpret findings from future study using either technology.

Stewart Udall, U.S. Secretary of the Interior under Kennedy and Johnson and a prominent member of a prolific Mormon political dynasty, passed away Saturday morning at his home in Sante Fe, New Mexico, according to a statement from his son, Senator Tom Udall. Known affectionately as "Stew," he was ninety years old and the last surviving member of Kennedy's original cabinet. While he did not remain an active Latter-day Saint in his later life, he nevertheless kept close ties with the Church and continued to self-identify as a Mormon, claiming that he was "Mormon born and bred, and it's inside me… I prize my Mormon heritage and status." More than that, throughout his adult life he served as an important intermediary for the Church on both political and religious matters. Background and Public Life Stew was the son of former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Levi S. Udall. He was born in the small town of St. Johns, Arizona in 1920 and…

Who Should Have Been Mormon of the Year, 1970-1989
This second of three posts, covers Times and Seasons reader Last Lemming's suggestions for Mormon of the Year for the years 1970 through 1989. We already posted on Monday his picks for 1950 through 1969 and on Friday morning we will list his picks for 1990 through 2007. I suspect as these posts get into more familiar and more recent territory, more of you will have comments and suggestions about who Last Lemming suggested and who should have been suggested instead.

Lowest CPI Since 1955 Lets Colombia Target Growth, Cardenas Says
The lowest inflation rate in six decades gives Colombian policy makers the freedom to focus on boosting economic growth, Finance Minister Mauricio Cardenas said.
Colombia has entered a "sustainable low inflation phase" which means policy makers can concentrate their efforts on getting growth to accelerate to its potential rate of 4.8 percent per year, Cardenas said in a March 5 phone interview.
Consumer prices rose 1.83 percent in February from a year earlier, the slowest pace since the government of dictator General Gustavo Rojas Pinilla in 1955, as food, clothing and entertainment costs fell. The median estimate of 23 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for inflation of 1.89 percent. Prices rose 0.44 percent from a month earlier.
"We're not worried about inflation," Cardenas said. "We can put our eyes now on the business cycle, and we can focus on monetary policy as an instrument to achieve potential growth."
Colombia has cut its policy rate six times since June to 3.75 percent, the lowest among major Latin American economies, citing below-potential growth and slowing inflation. The central bank wants to get inflation back up to the midpoint of its target range over a "prudent" period of time, bank Governor Jose Dario Uribe said in a March 1 interview.
The central bank targets inflation of 3 percent, plus or minus one percentage point.
Venezuela Demand
The economy expanded 2.1 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, the slowest pace in the Andean region. Banco de la Republica estimates the economy grew 3.3 percent to 3.9 percent last year, compared with 5.9 percent in 2011. Gross domestic product will increase 2.5 percent to 4.5 percent in 2013, according to the bank.
Cardenas, who traveled to Caracas yesterday hours before Venezuela announced the death of President Hugo Chavez, said policy makers will carefully monitor developments in their neighbor, which is the biggest importer of Colombian manufactures.
The central bank's policy committee, which Cardenas chairs, cited "the risk of lower demand from Venezuela," in the statement explaining their rate cut last month.
Yields on peso bonds due in 2024 have fallen 2.05 percentage point since June, to 4.962 percent, as growth and inflation slowed, and the government cut taxes on foreigners' profits on local bonds.
The peso has weakened 2.5 percent this year, to 1809.75 per U.S. dollar, the biggest fall among major Latin American currencies after the Venezuelan bolivar.
