When Deborah Mozak was diagnosed with breast cancer, it had already spread to the lymph nodes in her underarm and neck.
Less than a decade ago, Deborah's cancer would have been difficult to treat with traditional chemotherapy. Today, targeted therapies that block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread are providing new options for patients with certain types of previously inoperable breast cancers.
In Deborah's case, these newer therapies have had remarkable results—from her original diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer to a very good possibility of a complete cure.
Deborah, a 62-year-old Howell resident, was diagnosed with breast cancer after noticing a mass in her neck, which turned out to be a cancerous lymph node. A half-marathoner in otherwise good health, the diagnosis was especially difficult as a close family member had been diagnosed with an operable form of breast cancer earlier that same year.
Deborah began chemotherapy and targeted therapy with medications that block her type of breast cancer, HER2-positive, from growing.
In June, Deborah had lumpectomy surgery at CentraState to remove the cancerous mass from her right breast. The cancer that had spread to nearby lymph nodes was no longer detectable.
For six weeks, Deborah underwent external beam radiation therapy with Neesha Rodrigues, MD, a board-certified radiation oncologist at CentraState.
Deborah says that throughout her treatment she tried to keep a positive attitude, and she and her doctors are hopeful that she will achieve a complete cure.

Before we calculate how much water you should be drinking to lose weight, lets take a look at why drinking enough water is so helpful.
Water helps to hydrate your entire system. Yes, you are made up of a significant percentage of water.
When the balance is thrown off due to dehydration, your body goes into panic mode. Signals are sent throughout the entire works that a crisis is possible.
This causes all of your organs to begin saving anything it can to maintain their efficiency. Including fat.
Storing fat is the bodies way of saving for an emergency. When you are well hydrated, all systems work much better.
Water also helps to flush toxins from the body. When you are working on losing weight, it is helpful to cleanse these harmful substances from your system. Nothing works faster than good ole' h20.
Because water does not contain artificial colors or preservatives, it leaves none behind.
When you stop adding these harmful substances to your body, the ones that are already there are flushed from your system because your body does not want them in the first place. Thus, the body detoxifies itself with the influx of clean water.
Along with that, it will help regulate your digestive system with no extra fee! Ha!
Your skin is the largest organ you have. It needs water to stay smooth and soft.
When you are not getting enough water, your skin will become dry and will eventually become itchy and over time can wrinkle.
While this does not directly influence weight loss, it can be a good indicator of why you may be struggling to lose weight.
When you notice that your skin is dry, it's a good idea to up your daily intake of water.
Now that we know why drinking enough water is so important, lets see what goes into calculating the amount of water you need to lose weight.
Before we can calculate how much water you need everyday you need to know your current weight.
This just makes sense because it takes more water to hydrate a 180 pound man than it would a 118 pound woman.
The more mass, the more water is needed.
Take your weight and multiply it by 0.67. This will give you the number of ounces that are required for you to drink each day.
For example, if you weigh 162 pounds, you would take that number and multiply it by 0.67 and hit equals.
This will give you 108.54.
That means you need to drink about 110 ounces each and every day. Or about you would multiple that by 2/3 and learn you should be drinking about 117 ounces of water every day.
Just shy of a gallon.
When you think about it, that isn't really very much over the course of a full day!
When you workout, your body loses or uses a lot of water. Because of this, you need to factor physical activity into your your water calculations.
This is done by adding another 12 ounces of water to the total from above for each 30 minutes of physical activity.
So, to use our example above, where we used weight to determine that 117 ounces of water were needed each day, a half hour work out would bring that total up to 129 ounces.
Honestly, you will most likely drink at least 12 ounces during a 30 minute workout.
When I am working out, I constantly have my water bottle with me and usually have to refill toward the end, even before I have started to cool down.
To make this a little easier to calculate, use the table below. Just match up your approximate weight with the amount of water you should be drinking each day. Just remember to add 12 ounces of water for every 30 minutes of physical activity to the amount shown below.
One of the biggest problems people face when attempting to drink enough water is simply remembering to actually drink it.
It does kind of sound silly, but I know that has been my biggest roadblock to hydration.
I have used many different tactics to try and remind myself, but the best one yet is a big, bright container.
This thing is always with me. I fill it several times per day. In fact, when I can't have it with me now, I feel like something is missing.
It is the single best advantage I have found that works in my plan for staying hydrated. You can get one like mine from Amazon here.
What If You Just Don't Like Water?
Drinking enough water isn't just about remembering for some people. Many just do not like the taste. Trust me, I can relate.
While I have adjusted my tastes over the years and now pretty much just drink plain ole' tap water, there was a time that I had to add something to it. Juice, sport drink and even Koolaid were some of my favorites.
Trust me, your body will begin to crave water and you will get acclimated to drinking it. In the meantime, try some of the favoring options out there. Obviously avoid the ones with tons of sugar and sweeteners. Those are kind of counter productive.
One popular method is to infuse your water with fruit. That's right! Simply putting some fruit in a jug of water will give it a natural favoring.
Who would have thought? Ha!
If you want to infuse your water with fruit favoring, you can also use an infusion pitcher.
These help you get the most flavor out of the fruit without leaving a bunch of extras behind.
Here is a link to one of the most popular infusion pitchers on Amazon.
You can also get an infusion water bottle for when you are on the go!
This is kind of a tricky question. When you are dehydrated (not getting enough water on a regular basis) then, YES, it can help quite a bit.
On the other hand, if you already drink enough water, you probably won't see much of a difference if you up your water intake, although drinking more water is never a bad thing.
Either way, drinking water boosts your metabolism and thus, does help you lose weight.
Being well hydrated is the key to being healthy. Too many sugary sweet drinks will work against your weight loss efforts and in some cases, actually cause you to dehydrate even further.
Either way, drinking more water is good for you over all. In most cases, people are drinking a lot less water than they realize.
Most Common Signs You need To Drink More Water.
There are many ways your body will let you know if you are not getting enough water. While these are not always the only indicators, they are some of the most common.
This one is kind of a no brainer, but it is the most obvious. When you find yourself feeling thirsty, it's probably way past time to grab your water bottle and start drinking. Our bodies are amazing machines. When you begin paying attention to it, you will see that there are many messages it sends you all the time. Thirst is one of the most common indicators that you are getting an alert form you body.
Being unusually tired is another common sign of dehydration. Fatigue can also show up in other ways as well though. Mental confusion and even unusual anger or aggression. When you have severe moods swings or strangely forgetful, time to drink some water. Fatigue caused by dehydration can also cause you to shake or just be unsteady. Always be looking for warning signs from your body that you need to drink more water.
Moisture leaves your body in many ways. Your eyes are one of them. Because they are exposed to the air so much when we are awake, they need a lot of water from your body to stay in good working order. When they get dry, you will find yourself rubbing them more and your eyesight can even become blurred. I have had instances where my eyes begin to see words jumping on a page of text, or blur out areas of the page. This can indicate many things and re-hydration is one of the easiest fixes to try first.
The brain is another big consumer of water. It is always working. Remembering, planning and keeping your body running are constantly tasks your brain is working on. When you are dehydrated, the brain doesn't get everything it needs to keep going at peek performance. It will send you a signal in the form of a headache to remind you to drink more water. Now, it's up to you to listen.
Any runner can tell you the effects when muscles don't get enough water. It is what keeps them flexible and strong. When you become dehydrated, they will cramp up from lack of water. Your muscles are straining during a workout or run, they use a lot of water to stay flexible and strong. Remember to grab that water bottle and avoid the pain of muscle cramps.
These are just some of the signs of dehydration to look for. It is especially important to pay attention to your hydration when you first start a new workout regiment. Sweating will such your body dry in no time, so always increase your water intake when you are working out.
All of these can also be signs of other issues as well. If you experience any of these symptoms for a prolonged period of time, it is a good idea to go get a checkup from your doctor.
Well, by now you are probably thirsty after all of this water talk. The best part is that water is usually pretty easy to find for most of us. Keeping your body hydrated can do a lot of good for you. It's an easy way to improve your health and boost your energy. No more excuses. Make the commitment to drink more water and see what can happen.
If you can just make the decision to put more emphasis on your water consumption, I am sure you will quickly see a positive change in your body, your health and even your outlook on life. Just keep drinking more water!

Tobacco industry downturn causes cigar factory closure
Published 3:14 pm Wednesday, October 1, 2008
The increased battle against tobacco — smoking restrictions, rising taxes and government regulations — has resulted in part to the closing of The Cigar Factory in Selma.
An official at the factory said Tuesday the last production day is Nov. 14. People will receive paychecks through Dec. 5, said Vlencon Brown, the plant manger.
Altadis U.S.A. owns the plant, which has manufactured blunt-shaped cigars.
Richard C. McKenzie, senior vice president of human resources for Altadis, said a decrease in consumer demand for the blunt-shaped cigar is another reason for the factory's closure. A blunt is a cigar that is wider than a cigarillo and not quite as wide as a traditional cigar. The cigars consist of an inner leaf and a thicker outer leaf rolled around the inner leaf in a spiral.
The closure will leave 213 people unemployed, but city, county and economic development officials say there's hope.
Altadis U.S. A.'s announcement comes on the heels of another announcement last week that Alliance Technology Group Inc. would bring an investment of $25 million and 175 jobs during the next two years. The Alabama operation will produce the company's composite container panels and ship them to its Tennessee facility for fabrication and assembly.
Dallas County Probate Judge Kim Ballard said the county, the City of Selma and the Selma and Dallas County Economic Development Authority would work together to ensure that as many people as possible from The Cigar Factory get job opportunities.
"We're committed to helping place them," Ballard said.
McKenzie stressed that workers at the plant were not the problem, but the plant fell victim to a shaky national economy and the tobacco business, which has seen a downturn in the last year since massive lawsuits and media blitzes cut back on users of the product.
Mayor-elect George Evans agreed. "It's a spin-off all over the county. I think this has been coming for a long time as governments adopt policies to go smoke free."
Evans said The Cigar Factory has been a good company for more than 60 years, and a good neighbor in Selma and Dallas County.
"They are not leaving because they want to leave to make more money," he said.
Wayne Vardaman, executive director of the EDA, pointed out last week's news of a new industry locating in Dallas County and Selma and said the authority is courting other prospects.
Additionally, the state has programs to help retrain workers, Vardaman said, pointing to Wallace Community College Selma as one of those institutions focused on helping train workers and retrain others.
Alliance Industries will open up its employment process soon, Vardaman said.
"We recognize there's more pressure to get more jobs," he said.
Those from the closing cigar factory who would get other jobs would be assets, McKenzie said. "These people are fantastic workers. They built a great product. We've literally had no employment problem in the plant."

Selma's first black attorney, J.L. Chestnut, died Tuesday morning at a Birmingham hospital. Relatives said Chestnut, 77, had been sick... read more

Can We Get To Where We Need To Go?
13 Mar 2014Research & Ideas
America's infrastructure woes and how to fix them were front and center at the recent summit, America on the Move: Transportation and Infrastructure for the 21st Century, led by Rosabeth Moss Kanter.
When Harvard Business School Dean Nitin Nohria first moved from India to the United States more than 30 years ago, he was impressed with how well the highways and airports hummed along in this country.
Yet Nohria said in recent years he has visited other countries with better airport operations and much bigger, "gleaming" roadways, and he feels a growing concern that America's transportation and infrastructure systems are lacking attention and falling behind.
"We suffer through an extremely aged and outdated infrastructure"
It's a problem that is an "urgent, vital issue for those who care about the renewed, continued competitiveness of the United States," he told attendees who gathered recently at the national summit held at HBS, America on the Move: Transportation and Infrastructure for the 21st Century.
According to HBS Professor Rosabeth Moss Kanter, who conceived and led the conference, everyone agrees that infrastructure is important and that problems exist—but not for the same reasons. The result: a lack of agreement on solutions. "It's a public agenda item, but it has a lack of purpose," she said.
The summit, which brought together for the first time a wide range of top industry CEOs, government leaders, and customers of transportation services, was designed to help provide that purpose by assessing the state of the industry, identifying innovations both in technology and business models, and discussing possible funding sources. Additional information and data gathered from the event is expected to be distributed later this year.
"We need a vision that says transportation and infrastructure (are) important, so important that a lot of people have to come to the table and decide which projects should be invested in," Kanter said.
Speakers lamented the various infrastructure problems in the United States—congested roads, crumbling bridges, chronic airport delays, spotty wireless connections—and criticized the lack of investment in transportation and infrastructure in the last decade or longer.
Business has a stake in making sure improvements are made, since infrastructure is "extraordinarily powerful," with connectivity needed to support competition and the supply chain and transportation keeping our workforce mobile, said Dr. Patrick Gallagher, Acting Deputy Secretary of the US Department of Commerce.
"We suffer through an extremely aged and outdated infrastructure," he said. "We will struggle with two fundamental questions: How do we collectively own something so critical to our shared prosperity? And how do we make investments now in something that will benefit us later?"
Summit attendees worked on identifying "bottlenecks and pain points" while devising potential solutions to the country's infrastructure woes.
Many of the problems have a direct impact on business. For example, airline flight delays and cancellations cost an estimated $30 billion a year in economic impact, said Kanter, the HBS Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration.
Based on discussions during the summit, Kanter outlined some of the country's infrastructure needs:
Universal high-speed broadband, which can create jobs as well as facilitate solutions to congestion, safety issues, dynamic pricing; and automated vehicles.
Improving mass transit systems that connect to other forms of transportation.
Making the US easier for foreign visitors to enter.
An infrastructure bank to make targeted strategic investments through public-private partnerships.
Applying technology to upgrade the nation's air traffic control system.
Kanter acknowledged that the projects needed to address the country's infrastructure issues are not small, but noted that the US has a long history of taking on big national purpose projects—and we often forget that the road to completion was as rocky for those projects as it can be today.
"The key lies in the fact that government and business want the same outcome"
The Transcontinental Railroad, for example, was "politicized and corrupt," and the two ends almost didn't meet due to lack of coordination, but the project eventually came together and unlocked private sector innovation and drove growth opportunities for those living in communities located near train stations, she said. What the country needs today is another long-term "vision."
"Maintenance is not a vision," she said. "It's very hard to rally support around maintenance."
Summit participants had reason to feel optimistic that a long-term infrastructure plan might be hammered out.
On the same day that the summit began, February 26, President Obama called on lawmakers to approve a $302 billion bill to revitalize the nation's transportation infrastructure. In addition, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., announced a plan to rework the tax code and dedicate $126.5 billion to fund highway and infrastructure investment.
Although the two sides remain far apart, the proposals suggest that the two parties may ultimately reach some sort of agreement on transportation funding.
The current two-year highway bill is set to expire Nov. 1, and the trust fund that relies on the gasoline tax is expected to run short of money during the summer highway repair and construction season, impacting funding that the states count on to pay for those projects.
"We have tended to live with a lot of short-term bills. You want long-term bills," Gallagher said.
General Electric Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Immelt (HBS MBA '82) said infrastructure problems in this country are painfully apparent in many ways, including the fact that he can't get cell phone service in his own home. He said broadband is one area with a potential to create a lot of jobs. "This is how societies become wealthy or lose their wealth—making smart or dumb decisions around infrastructure."
Tackling the country's infrastructure challenges, at times through public-private partnerships, can represent a "great investing opportunity" for companies like GE, he said.
"When you're a big company, you have to play in big places," he said. "We can bring the scale of our company to bear in our infrastructure challenges."
Besides, the business world stands to benefit from infrastructure improvements, said the Hon. Karen Gordon Mills (HBS MBA '77), former Administrator of the US Small Business Administration and a senior fellow at HBS, noting that public-private partnerships can be "powerful."
"When we think about infrastructure spending, we think about the immediate effect on demand," she said. "If you repair a bridge, build a port or airport, you are immediately employing people and they are spending money."
Some may question whether transportation infrastructure is as necessary in this digital age, but Kanter noted that highways are still used most for work commuting.
"Even if we say the world is going digital, we still need physical infrastructure," she said. "If we did all of our shopping over the Internet, someone has to get (packages) to you."
And in fact, the poor tend to live in neighborhoods with the fewest transportation options, yet they're the ones who often have the greatest need for mobility. "They're the ones that can go digital less than anybody," she said. "They need face-to-face service jobs that tend not to be in those neighborhoods."
Kanter, who presented ideas garnered from the summit to US Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx, said the discussion at HBS was a good start.
"As far as we know, there has been no summit like this that combines the industries and the sectors (with) an emphasis on users," she said, "so we really hope to have an impact because of the ideas that are gathered here."
Mills said she was hopeful that progress could be made, especially if companies accept a role.
"The key lies in the fact that government and business want the same outcome here. If you take a small bit of the problem and you have enough constituencies coming from the business side, the stakeholders that matter, you can get something accomplished."
From business, attendees also included Richard Anderson, CEO, Delta; Mary Barras, CEO, General Motors; Thomas Donohue, President, US Chamber of Commerce; Lowell McAdam, CEO, Verizon; Charles W. Moorman (HBS MBA '89), Chairman, Norfolk Southern; Damon Silvers (HBS MBA '95), Policy Director and Special Counsel, AFL-CIO; Gerald Storch (HBS MBA '81), former CEO Toys R Us and CEO of Storch Advisors; Richard Trumka, President, AFL-CIO; and Michael Ward (HBS MBA '76), CEO, CSX.
From government, the participant list included Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator; Anthony Foxx, US Secretary of Transportation; Jane Garvey, former head of the Federal Aviation Administration; Hon. Rodney Slater, former US Secretary of Transportation; and US Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Strategy Is Supported By 100 Resilient Cities and Partners Such As The Nature Conservancy (TNC), CityMart and TrimbleThe strategy includes thirty three tangible actions which will assist in achieving the vision of a more viable, sustainable, livable and prosperous, Melbourne both today and in the future. It was developed in collaboration with all 32 metropolitan Melbourne Councils .
Melbourne, Australia – Today, Melbourne and 100 Resilient Cities – Pioneered by The Rockefeller Foundation (100RC) unveiled Resilient Melbourne, a new approach to address the city's most pressing and interconnected challenges. Challenges that weaken the fabric of a city on a day-to-day or cyclical basis, including sea level rise, increasing pressures on healthcare services, unemployment, and deeper social inequality.
Key Partners include 100 Resilient Cities' Platform Partners The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Citymart and the (Australian) Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), as well as local partners, such as Emergency Management Victoria (EMV).
EMV's flagship action is to empower communities to take active responsibility for their own and each other's well-being, safety and health, where the Metropolitan Urban Forest Strategy will link existing urban greening and reforestation across Melbourne, designing nature initiatives to improve wellbeing and reduce hazards such as heatwaves and flooding.
The Metropolitan Cycling Network is another strategy action which will be achieved by collaborating with citizens and Victoria's main transport bodies to establish a metropolitan bicycle path network, to help make cycling a safer and more practical alternative to car travel.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle released Resilient Melbourne today with 100RC Vice President For City Relationships Bryna Lipper, Ben Rimmer, CEO of City of Melbourne, Geoff Lawler, Director of City Operations for City of Melbourne and Toby Kent, who has served as the city's Chief Resilience Officer (CRO) since the city entered the 100RC network in 2015.
Lord Mayor Robert Doyle said the Resilient Melbourne Strategy was the result of extensive collaboration between all metropolitan councils, led by Chief Resilience Officer Toby Kent.
"By 2051, it's expected that Melbourne will be Australia's largest city with a population of 7.7 million people," the Lord Mayor said.
"To maintain our status as the world's most liveable city, we must be smart about how we prepare for this growth as well as major shocks and stresses, including natural disasters.
"The Resilient Melbourne Strategy is the first time in our history that metropolitan councils have united on a project to ensure the sustainability, liveability and future prosperity of Melbourne.
To jumpstart implementation of Resilient Melbourne, the Lord Mayor today also signed the 10% Resilience Pledge, another initiative led by 100RC. The 10% Pledge was endorsed by the City of Melbourne's Council on 17 May 2016, along with the strategy. Melbourne now joins 22 other cities, including Mexico City, Mexico; Paris, France; and New Orleans, Louisiana in pledging 10% of their city's budget to resilience-building initiatives and activities.
In addition, owing to the innovative approaches being taken in Melbourne, 100 Resilient Cities is also challenging Melbourne's philanthropic and private sectors to contribute to implementing actions in the strategy. 100 Resilient Cities will commit to investing $USD50,000 towards a specific project should local actors raise at least four times that amount within 90 days of the official opening of the Resilient Melbourne Delivery Office. This demonstrates a commitment to developing not only a robust plan but executing on the work in the immediate and long terms.
The Resilient Melbourne Strategy is a true reflection of collaboration – it is the result of the work of more than 1,000 individuals from 230 organisations, Melbourne's 32 local councils, and many Victorian Government departments. The Strategy draws on the strengths of Melbourne's diverse communities and geographies, to pursue the shared interests, embrace differences and to overall, be stronger together.
Resilient Melbourne was developed in partnership with the public, private and nonprofit sector, along with local community leaders and stakeholders. It comes with commitments for implementation from 100RC Platform Partners, as well as additional commitments from other local and national philanthropic organizations. The City will also have continuing access to a $200 million-plus pool of tools and services from the 100RC Network and platform partners.
In 2014, Melbourne was one of the first cities selected, from a pool of approximately 330 applicants, to join the 100RC network. The 100RC network also includes a diverse group of global cities, such as Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Paris, Rotterdam, Bangkok, and Accra, and has received over 1,000 applications since its inception.

At the 2014 joint conference of the Congress of Research on Dance and the Society of Dance History Scholars, Rebecca Rossen was among the few invited to speak on "Keywords" in the field. Sharing excerpts of her new book, the first of its kind, on the history of Jews in American modern and postmodern dance, Rossen introduced an obtuse category of "Jewish Dance" and its layered contributions to an American dance canon.
Dancing Jewish highlights period-specific efforts of choreographer-performers to appear more or less "Jewish" across an assimilatory century. The introduction and five chapters imagine the balancing act of ethnic and artistic acculturation that has typified a Jewish American dance legacy and a certain acrobatics of the proscenium stage. For this metaphor of high wire Jews, Rossen, a professor of dance at the University of Texas at Austin, recalls the words of Rabbi Milton Steinberg, whose sense of American Jews in the 1930s offers imagery ripe for Jewish dance studies: "Only a people of acrobats could preserve a semblance of poise on a footing so unstable." (1) Rossen foregrounds the idea of suspension to theorize Eastern European Jewish American identity as enacted through embodied performance history. Suspension, she argues, reflects an active engagement with multiple, opposing forces working on and through the body at once. On a mythic tightrope between Jewish particularity and assimilatory aesthetics, Rossen's subject is an acrobat of the concert dance stage, suspending "not to achieve inertia," but rather a "dynamic positioning," resulting from "projecting energy in several different directions" (12). Jewish choreographers thus navigate a "coexisistence of contrasts" in negotiation of shifting public desires and demands on dance (12).
Not meant to be encyclopedic in scope, Rossen's research zooms in on specific choreographic works that range in content, context, and aesthetic investigation. Moving from the 1930s Hasidic drag of Molly Picon, Paula Kroner, and Dvora Lapson to the midcentury modern dances of Anna Sokolow, Pearl Lang, Sophie Maslow, Helen Tamiris and Benjamin Zemach, and finally to the postmodern milieu of Liz Lerman, Margaret Jenkins, Dan Froot, Victoria Marks, and David Gordon, chapters track the often contradictory meanings that have come to define how and when to dance Jewish.
Rossen's "Jewish dance" does not name a static or fixed sense of style or genre, nor does it present a history of Judaism. Instead, the category names a process that embraces a fluid, complex Jewish American identity through costume, gestural vocabulary, and labeling. It likewise encompasses what happens when largely secular choreographers interpret Judaic practices through dance and how that process has supported, or critiqued, Judaism. While clear that there is no distinct genre called "Jewish dance," Rossen spotlights the artistic, ideological, political, and racial implications of this term (10).

The resilience of potato production systems in Andean countries heavily depends on seed quality. Under local conditions in Ecuador, the variation in seed quality has been estimated to account for 30% of variation in attainable potato yield. This is critical for the country's estimated 85,000 potato farmers, of which around 75% are small-scale producers. Farmers' seed quality is usually poor because of degeneration, which is the increase in incidence of pests or pathogens in the seed tuber leading to yield loss and a decline in seed quality over successive cycles of vegetative propagation.
One of the pathogens causing seed degeneration is Rhizoctonia solani which is disseminated by the seed tuber (black scurf) or the soil. Yield losses caused by R. solani in potato in Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru have been reported to be up to 20%, indicating the importance of the pathogen for the Andean region. Despite this, the influence that the sources of infection and the density of the pathogen have on potato seed degeneration and on fungal soil colonization has been poorly quantified and understood.
To understand the role of inoculum sources and inoculum densities on the potato seed degeneration caused by R. solani, researchers from the International Potato Center, the Centre for Crop System Analysis and the Laboratory of Phytopathology of Wageningen University set up a glasshouse experiment at Wageningen University with different levels of R. solani on the seed tuber and in the soil. To explore how these factors influence the extent to which the pathogen infects the surrounding soil, DNA was extracted from soil samples taken from the pots at 30, and 60 days after planting and one day before harvesting. Then, the absolute amount of DNA of R. solani was quantified using real-time PCR.
"Our results found that the disease delays the emergence of the potato plants and consequently causes problems in the management of the crop. This means that we need to be careful with the tubers that we are planting because these may affect the development of our crop," explains MSc student Israel Navarrete from Wageningen University, whose research scholarship for the project was funded by the McKnight foundation.
"Additionally, our results show that the pathogen can disseminate aggressively on the tubers and in the soil and that IPMs need to take into account not only the health of the seed, but also the health of the soils. The results also found that we can monitor the disease either in the soil or in the tuber, making it possible to integrate this in Integrated Pest Management strategies," he says.
The researchers concluded that both inoculum sources are relevant to reduced seed quality regardless of the inoculum density, and that soil colonization by R. solani is similar after 30 days after planting.
"These findings will eventually be translated into better pest management strategies in order to improve the quality of the seed produced by smallholder farmers, and improve the health of the Ecuadorian soils for the benefit of the same farmers. Monitoring strategies can be designed to understand the variation of the pathogen on Ecuadorian farms, and reduce the impact of the pathogen on farmer fields," explains Israel.
Better management of critical pests and diseases is an essential step towards helping boost Ecuador's potato production (9 ton per hectare), which continues to be much lower compared to its neighbours, Colombia (19 ton per hectare) and Peru (14 ton per hectare). This will bring much needed income and food security for the country's small-scale producers.
This research was conducted as part of the 'Seed degeneration of roots, tubers and bananas' project funded by the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas.

Hermès has an important history in watch and jewellery making, having started creating pieces at the beginning of the 20th century.
Hermès have announced the opening of their first stand-alone fine watch and jewellery boutique in the UK. The store opened last month in the Fine Jewellery room situated on the ground floor of Harrods in London.
Hermès has an important history in watch and jewellery making, having started creating pieces at the beginning of the 20th century. This new boutique presents only its most precious pieces and showcases its unique skills in these métiers.The first Hermès wristwatch was created in 1912 for Jacqueline Hermès, at the request of her father Emile Hermès, the grandson of the founder Thierry Hermès. Many watches and timepieces were to follow, including such design classics as the Cape Cod and Arceau.
Since 2002 Pierre Hardy has headed the Artistic Direction of Hermès Jewellery. In 2010 Hermès launched its first collection of Haute Bijouterie, designed by Pierre Hardy and inspired by the equestrian world. The Centaure ring and Fouet necklace are objects of exquisite craftsmanship and creativity, as recently profiled by Buro 24/7 Middle East.
The new boutique will bring together these two métiers from Hermès for the first time in the UK in one retail space. It will be a showcase for the many exceptional artisanal watch and jewellery skills possessed by Hermès craftspeople since the early 20th century.

The Actor has two frames, both the frames are now running super fast despite defining a clock with a 1 second delay.

A: You have to show the same image for multiple frames. Define how many frames the same image should be shown (e.g. frames_per_image) and switch the image after the frames have been exceeded. Use the // (floor division) operator (see Binary arithmetic operations) to compute the index of the current image (x // frames_per_image). e.g:
def trex_move():
    global x
    if trex.y == 235:

        frames_per_image = 10
        trex.image = trex_run[x // frames_per_image]

            x = 0
    else:
        trex.image = 'car64'


Professional animal communicator specialist Stacy Krafczyk will lead a workshop, Reiki I for Animals & People, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. September 23 at Bark & Scratch Outpost, in Milwaukee. The workshop is designed to teach participants reiki in order to aid them in healing themselves as well as their friends, family and animal companions.
Attendees will practice on each other after being taught the origins and lineage of reiki and learning specific hand placements. Animal companions will be present in the class to aid in the education. Each student will receive a handout, a beautiful reiki attunement and a certification of completion.
"This is an empowering workshop which brings a conscious awareness of the helplessness that people feel when they are in upsetting or crisis situations. Reiki empowers people by giving them a tool they can use when they experience such feelings," says Krafczyk. In addition to being a professional animal communicator, she's also an intuitive, medium and reiki master teacher. She is the founder of All Spirit Healing which offers classes in animal communication, reiki and energy healing, meditation, personal consultations, mentoring, healing and more.

Hamlets madness
Some traditional cultures have turned to witch doctors or shamans to apply magic, herbal mixtures, or folk medicine to rid deranged persons of evil spirits or bizarre behavior, for example. It has been conjectured that the subjects may have been thought to have been possessed by spirits which the holes would allow to escape.
The play was evidently preceded by another play of Hamlet now lostusually referred to as the Ur-Hamlet, of which Thomas Kyd is a conjectured author. The story of HamletThis video provides a brief synopsis of the plot of Shakespeare's masterpiece Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.
The ghost of his father appears to Hamlet, informs him that he was poisoned by Claudius, and commands Hamlet to avenge his death.
Hamlet adopts a guise of melancholic and mad behaviour as a way of deceiving Claudius and others at court—a guise made all the easier by the fact that Hamlet is genuinely melancholic.
Laurence Olivier in the title role of the film adaptation of Hamlet Hamlet quickly sees through the scheme and begins to act the part of a madman in front of them.
Forbes-Robertson, JohnstonHamlet berates himself: When the play is presented as planned, the performance clearly unnerves Claudius. This act of violence persuades Claudius that his own life is in danger. He sends Hamlet to England escorted by Rosencrantz and Guildensternwith secret orders that Hamlet be executed by the king of England.
When Hamlet discovers the orders, he alters them to make his two friends the victims instead.
Hamlet - Wikipedia
Claudius is only too eager to arrange the duel. Hamlet dies of a wound inflicted by a sword that Claudius and Laertes have conspired to tip with poison; in the scuffle, Hamlet realizes what has happened and forces Laertes to exchange swords with him, so that Laertes too dies—as he admits, justly killed by his own treachery.
Gertrude, also present at the duel, drinks from the cup of poison that Claudius has had placed near Hamlet to ensure his death.
Before Hamlet himself dies, he manages to stab Claudius and to entrust the clearing of his honour to his friend Horatio.In what is arguably Shakespeare's most recognizable soliloquy, Hamlet attempts to reason out whether the unknown beyond of death is any easier to bear than life.
The underlying theme remains Hamlet's inaction and his frustration at his own weaknesses.
Claudius - The King of Denmark, Hamlet's uncle, and the play's srmvision.com villain of the play, Claudius is a calculating, ambitious politician, driven by his sexual appetites and his lust for power, but he occasionally shows signs of guilt and human feeling—his love for Gertrude, for instance, seems sincere.
The first soliloquy is where Hamlet's true self is first shown to the reader. This soliloquy is in Act 1 Scene 2. At this point in the play Prince Hamlet is depressed and in what was called a deep melancholy state which the King and Queen believe has taken over Hamlet.
One of the many talents of the playwright William Shakespeare was that he broke the limiting mold of the one-dimensional character by representing characters in all of their human complexity.

I'm going to venture to say that, as far as living beings, it has more to do with energy and vibration. I believe there is such a thing as "positive" and "negative" energy, and not necessarily related to "good" or "bad," but more to do with expansiveness and growth, + , (positive) versus retraction/contraction, - , (negative). The positive is "giving," with energy moving outward...and the negative is "yeilding" and receptive, with energy moving inward.
Both are necessary for life, the yin and yang, and in fact, as an example...negative ions are known to lift your spirits and promote health. "Taking in" negative ions is what we do when we are in a pine forest or near the ocean. Being near the ocean is often recommended for patients with lung ailments, because the negative ions in the air promotes better lung functioning and makes us feel much better. Studies have also been done that correlate the lung area (and chakra) with emotions.
However, as was mentioned, plants have no nervous system. So, I think it has more to do with energy and chemistry, in the case of plants...as opposed to "feelings." They may "respond" to both positive and negative energy on a chemical and/or molecular level, but not "emotionally."
Yes, plants do have feelings. If you were to play music such as Mozart they grow bigger and better and much healthier. Also, if you were to hold a pair of siccors in your hand they freak out before you even cut them. It's been shown by a computer how this line spikes up.
Because Valerie is a plant!
I dont think they have feelings as in "emotions" such as excited, shocked, repulsed, empathy, hate etc! I belive they react to certain things in a positive way if good...such as if something stimulates it it has a reaction! ~~~It doesnt make sense to say they have feelings ...but only certain kind of feelings~~~. Plants lack a nervous system/sensory system...which means they lack the ability to have human emotions all together if any type of feelings at all.
I do belive that they have the ability to react to certain type of stimuli. Weather it be the sun, water, music, humans or weather. I think it has a lot to do with vibration...if they are soothing or not! For example they found out that water reacts to certain stimuli when they froze it into crystals....as they did with plants and bacteria.
On a side note there is little to no evidence about this topic. There is no verified evidence and all the experiments into "plant preception" have no controlled conditions which makes the results unverifiable.
Nah, plants don't have feelings. I know cause I tell all the plants I can everyday how ugly and dumb they are and I trample their family right in front of them and they don't seem to care at all.
No! Vernice is a plant!
Denver...music is vibration and energy...perhaps they are responding to that, but it's a BIG stretch to think that they have feelings. That's like saying they have an opinion. Your indication is that one plant might grow more if it was exposed to the blues, as opposed to hip hop...and for another, it might be just the reverse.
Hmmm...would they be insulted if you came into the room and neglected to say hello? Would that hurt their feelings? Would they no longer "like" you, if they felt mistreated?


Social inequalities are a pre-eminent cause of preventable disease and disability. This book explores the enormity of what the new policy mix must address, taking the approach that food policy must be inextricably linked with public health, environmental damage, and social inequalities to be effective. The Journal Nutrition Bulletin — Wiley Published: Sep 1, 2009. Increased routine screening for under-nutrition risk is a priority. We argue that this disconnect hinders a coherent discussion of sustainability transitions, which will be necessary to solve problems environmental, social, economic, and health generated by conventional food systems.
Therefore, the challenge ahead is to identify dietary patterns that provide us with the many nutrients we need for health, in appropriate amounts, that are also equitable, affordable and sustainable. It first situates stories inside object ecologies, encompassing relationships of reliance, care, and maintenance of things. Research and development into social inequalities in health would benefit from a wider focus, which considered the causes of this phenomenon, and from the development of preventive interventions that were effective at both ends of the income distribution. Our analysis shows how policy opportunities for success are shaped by existing sociocultural dynamics e. We analysed a total of 742 minutes of food advertisement time.
In the 21st century, this policy mix is quietly becoming unstuck. However, as the field of probiotics is relatively new, more studies will be needed to allow firm conclusions on the effectiveness of probiotic microorganisms for some health issues. The political and institutional policy contexts for traceability are located within a multilevel governance framework for food reaching up from national and sub-national, or local and regional to European and global levels, and involving a multiplicity of attentive actors from across the public, corporate and non-governmental sectors. A dissonance arises between the sort of demands and dependencies we are still subject to on a daily basis and the anticipation that those demands and dependencies shall not be able to endure. This book reflects the myriad of perspectives essential to a comprehensive view of modern food policy. There is rising interest in this area, but reports in the media are often conflicting. The contradictions of the food system have wrought crises that have engendered widespread institutional change at all levels of governance.
In order to understand these policy trajectories we mobilised a political ecology framework to explore how the specific configurations of nature and society express themselves in the process and outcomes of urban food policies. . Irritable bowel syndrome symptoms have been found to be reduced by consuming probiotic strains, although a high placebo effect has been observed in some of the studies. It encompasses all policy areas that impact what is eaten by whom, when and where and includes in its definition agricultural policy as well as all policy areas that address the value chains Lang et al. Probiotics are live microorganisms — mainly bacteria — which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. The British Nutrition Foundation has carried out a review on probiotics and health, summarising evidence from human studies.
The discussion highlights points for further research related to indicator development, reach of assessment models, participatory processes and obstacles in science communication. In particular, the concepts of food policy Tim Lang and citizen's engagement are key. The application of public health theory, however, suggests that the causes of social inequalities are likely to lie as much with the attributes of high-income group s as with those of low-income groups. It assumed that more food would yield greater health and happiness by driving down prices, increasing availability, and feeding more mouths. In North America, we can find various attempts to change local food systems by considering the viewpoints of multiple stakeholders.
Meat has a high cultural status and animal-origin food items dominate agricultural policies Konttinen, 2011. The use of probiotics has also been examined for other health aspects, including Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome and allergies. The empirical data is composed of literature, regulatory documents, interviews, scenario workshops and media data. For over half a century, food policy has mapped a path for progress based upon a belief that the right mix of investment, scientific input, and human skills could unleash a surge in productive capacity which would resolve humanity's food-related health and welfare problems. Different strategies can be pursued to foster sustainability transitions in food systems: efficiency increase e. The Sustainable Food and Nutrition-Visualizer, designed to communicate complex policy change-impacts and trade-off questions, enables an informed debate about trade-offs associated with options for change among food system actors as well as in the policy making arena.

Conflict management and psychotherapeutic theory suggest that the development of emotional literacy amongst those in all income brackets, but particularly the wealthy, has the potential to solve the problem of social inequalities in health. The aim of this review is to consider the current evidence on the effects of probiotics on health, focusing on gut-related health issues and the immune system, with the objective to provide a clearer picture of whether and how probiotics can be beneficial for health. Despite the acknowledgement of the need to develop integrative plans and food governance approaches, sustainable food transitions are conditioned by specific socio-ecological configurations of individual cities. In the first edition the authors set out and brought together the different strands of emerging agendas and competing narratives. More structural—level interventions at the regional and local governance levels are also needed to address the social dimensions of a sustainable food supply In the years since publication of the first edition of Food Wars much has happened in the world of food policy.


IS IT HIM YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?
provided the impromptu aftershow entertainment last night following The Raveonettes' headlining NME AWARDS SHOW at LONDON's ASTORIA (February 8).
After cramming 60 people into a late-night low-key Soho piano bar, the portly-Casanova serenaded a mesmerised crowd with renditions of 'How Deep Is Your Love?', 'Your Song' and undoubtedly the evening's highlight – Lionel Richie's 'Hello'.
In between dedicating songs to The Raveonettes' Sharin Foo, Har Mar broke out some dance moves on the cramped stage, climbed over chairs and tables before virtually walking out of the venue still singing through a radio microphone.
Earlier in the evening Har Mar Superstar played a more traditional set supporting the Danish duo alongside Delays and The Duke Spirit.
The Raveonettes played a spectacular set with an equally impressive light show, tearing through the crowd-pleasing 'Chain Gang Of Love', 'That Great Love Sound', 'Little Animal', 'Noisy Summer' and 'Attack Of The Ghost Riders'. The gig also marked the first time the band had played live in two months.
The NME Awards shows continue tonight with Lostprophets headlining at London Astoria (February 9), with support coming from The Bronx and Avenged Sevenfold.


Faithful to the past. Inspiring the future.
The #NCYI condemns in the strongest terms the senseless murder of Christians in#SriLanka on Easter Sunday while at church.
We hope the terrorists are quickly brought to justice. Attacks on religious institutions are extremely heinous.
Condolences to the families of those lost.
Proud to have you part of our delegation.

Q: Expand a RDD[List[(ImmutableBytesWritable, Put)]] to RDD[(ImmutableBytesWritable, Put)] I have a RDD whose each element is List
aRDD =List[(List[(key1, value1), (key2, value2)], List[(key3, value3)]]
Now my aim is to write this RDD to HBase using aRDD.saveAsNewAPIHadoopDataset(job.getConfiguration()), but the problem is that aRDD should be converted to (key,pair) value.
Hence I need to convert aRDD to
aRDD = [(key1, value1), (key2, value2) , (key3, value3)].
How to do the above process in scala?
EDIT:- I want to get a list of tuples from the List of Lists of tuple.
Thanks in advance.

As many as six movies are in the works on the dramatic Tham Luang cave rescue, cited Thailand's Ministry of Culture on variety.com.
Five international film companies have expressed interest in producing movies and documentaries about the rescue operation of the Wild Boars football team and their coach, said Culture Minister Vira Rojpojchanarat on July 19.
Three have approached the Foreign Ministry, while two have contacted private agencies in Thailand, he said. At least one Thai-based company is also developing a film.
Discovery Channel is the first to roll out its hour-long documentary Operation Thai Rescue, which was aired on Jul 13 in Singapore.
So eager were production companies that before all 12 boys and their 25-year-old coach were extracted from the flooded cave over the 17-day rescue period, two production firms already had eyes on the story, with one even scouting locations near Chiang Rai, according to variety.com.
Among the directors helming the Tham Luang-based movies is Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu. "I refuse to let Hollywood #whitewashout the Thai Cave rescue story!" he said on Twitter, adding, "There's a beautiful story about human beings saving other human beings. So anyone thinking about the story better approach it right and respectfully".
Chu's announcement came after Pure Flix Entertainment, known for Christian and family movies, announced their decision to seek the movie rights. Its co-founder Michael Scott is partially based in Thailand and his wife is said to have grown up with the Thai Royal Navy SEAL who died bringing oxygen to the boys.
The Thai-based outfit that has expressed interest is DeWarrenne Productions headed by Thai-Irish Tom Waller. The producer-director had said on variety.com that his script would "focus on the Thai elements and the unsung heroes".
Rojpojchanarat noted that Thailand's military government has formed a committee to oversee all film projects linked to the rescue mission. "The committee will be concerned about the accuracy of the story, the rights of the [team], the rescuers and other related agencies, as well as the image of Thailand," Rojpojchanarat said.


Most people don't need to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. Sometimes, though, it becomes apparent that you need to rent a dumpster in Stockbridge for commercial and residential projects.
Most cities WOn't haul away construction debris for you. It's your responsibility to make sure you have a suitable container to collect lost stuff from remodeling endeavors. Even in case you just have a small endeavor, municipal waste management is unlikely to haul the debris away.
A major clean out can gather more rubbish than a normal receptacle can hold. Renting a little dumpster is a more convenient option that will prevent making multiple trips to the neighborhood dump.
If you have one of these endeavors in mind, then you know it is time to look for a dependable service in Stockbridge.
Most affordable Dumpster Rental in Stockbridge - Is It Worth It?
Clearly you need to spend as little cash as possible when renting a dumpster in Stockbridge. Occasionally, though, the most economical in Stockbridge option isn't worth it. In fact, it may wind up costing you more in the future.
Choosing the cheapest alternative could mean that you just get a dumpster that's too little for your job. Once you fill up the dumpster, you should need to cover another to finish your job. It's generally cheaper to get a bigger size and prevent the hassle.
The most affordable firms in Stockbridge might not contain things like drop off and pick up fees. Make sure that your quotes contain all additional fees. This way you can compare prices precisely to get the best deal. Customer service is another important concern. More than a few companies keep prices low by cutting corners on service. The last thing you desire would be to waste time waiting for a truck to arrive by means of your dumpster.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your goal is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But in case you'd like your waste recycled, you may need to really go about it in a slightly different manner. Waste in the majority of temporary dumpsters is not recycled because the containers are so big and hold so much stuff.
If you are interested in recycling any waste from your project, check into getting smaller containers. Many businesses in Stockbridge have a broad range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are usually smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
Should you like to recycle, find out if the company you are working with uses single stream recycling (you do not have to sort the substance) or if you will need to form the recyclable stuff into various containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This can really make a difference in the total number of containers you have to rent.
The cost to rent a dumpster in Stockbridge depends on several factors such as the size you need and how long you need to keep it to finish your project. Normally, you can expect to spend more cash for larger dumpsters. Keeping the dumpster for a longer amount of time will even increase the cost.
Getting quotes is one of the best methods to compare dumpster costs to ensure you get a fair deal. Since some firms may charge extra fees, it is very important to make sure the price quote contains all the equipment and services that you need.
Generally, renting a dumpster in Stockbridge is an affordable way to remove debris from a construction, remodeling, or clean out project. So long as you get price quotes so you can compare your choices, you need to realize that you can get a great deal on a in Stockbridge.
You can fill your dumpster as high as you like, so long as you really do not load it higher than the sides of the container. Overfilling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or big-boned dumpsters are not really safe, and companies will not take unsafe loads as a way to safeguard drivers and passengers on the road.
In certain areas, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. If your load is too high, it will not have the ability to be tarped so you may need to remove a number of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may lead to additional fees if it demands you to keep the dumpster for a longer amount of time. Don't forget to keep your load no higher than the sides of the dumpster, and you will be good.

Donald "Don" Ross Getty, OC, AOE (* 30. August 1933 in Westmount, Québec; † 26. Februar 2016) war ein kanadischer Politiker, Unternehmer und Canadian-Football-Spieler. In den 1950er Jahren spielte er in der Canadian Football League und wurde mit den Edmonton Eskimos zweimal Meister. Vom 1. November 1985 bis 13. Dezember 1992 war er Premierminister der Provinz Alberta und Vorsitzender der Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta.

Studium, Sport und Beruf

Getty wuchs in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto und London (Ontario) auf. In London war er Kapitän der Basketball- und Football-Schülermannschaften sowie Vorsitzender des Schülerrats. An der University of Western Ontario absolvierte er ein Wirtschaftsstudium und führte die Mustangs, den Sportverein der Universität, zu zwei Football- und vier Basketball-Meistertiteln der Provinz Ontario (1952–53 bzw. 1952–55). Getty schloss sein Studium 1955 ab und erhielt einen Bachelor of Arts in Unternehmensführung. Im selben Jahr heiratete er Margaret Mitchell. Sie bekamen vier Söhne.

Nach seinem Studienabschluss spielte Getty als Halbprofi für die Edmonton Eskimos in der Canadian Football League und zählte zu den besten Quarterbacks des Landes. 1955 und 1956 gewann seine Mannschaft den Meistertitel, den Grey Cup. 1960 verloren die Eskimos das Endspiel.

Neben der sportlichen widmete er sich auch seiner beruflichen Karriere. Ab 1955 arbeitete er für Imperial Oil, ab 1961 im Management von Midwestern Industrial Gas. 1964 gründete er das Unternehmen Baldonnel Oil and Gas, 1967 wurde er Partner des Investmentunternehmens Doherty, Roadhouse and McCuaig.

Provinzpolitik
Getty trat 1965 auf Wunsch von Peter Lougheed der Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta bei. Im Mai 1967 wurde er bei den Wahlen zur Legislativversammlung von Alberta zum Abgeordneten des Wahlkreises Strathcona West gewählt. Nach dem Wahlsieg der Progressiv-Konservativen im August 1971 ernannte ihn Getty zum Minister für Außenbeziehungen, damit war er für Kontakte zu anderen Provinzregierungen und zur Bundesregierung zuständig. Ab April 1975 war er Energieminister.

Um mehr Zeit für die Familie zu haben, trat Getty im März 1979 nicht zur Wiederwahl an. Er gründete eine Investmentgesellschaft und saß in den Verwaltungsräten mehrerer Unternehmen, unter anderem der Royal Bank of Canada. Als Lougheed seinen baldigen Rücktritt bekanntgab, entschloss sich Getty zur Rückkehr zur Politik. Er wurde zum Parteivorsitzenden gewählt und am 1. November 1985 von Vizegouverneurin Helen Hunley zum neuen Premierminister ernannt. Sechs Wochen später gewann er eine Nachwahl im Wahlkreis Edmonton Whitemud.

Premierminister
Sinkende Erdölpreise beeinträchtigten die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung der Provinz und die Regierung schien die Ausgaben nicht mehr im Griff zu haben. Während Gettys erster Amtszeit fanden in Calgary die Olympischen Winterspiele 1988 statt. Seine Partei gewann zwar bei den Wahlen im März 1989 erneut, jedoch mit einer deutlich reduzierten Mehrheit. Getty selbst wurde in seinem Wahlkreis völlig überraschend abgewählt. Brian C. Downey, der Abgeordnete des als sicher geltenden Wahlkreises Stettler, trat daraufhin zurück. Getty konnte sechs Wochen später die Nachwahl gewinnen und wieder ins Parlament einziehen.

Gettys Regierung versuchte, die Wirtschaft wieder in Schwung zu bringen, indem sie die Löhne der Staatsangestellten einfror und Dienstleistungen abbaute. Er versuchte von den Problemen in Alberta abzulenken, indem er vehement für eine Reform des Senats eintrat. Getty ordnete 1989 die erste Wahl eines "Senators auf Abruf" an, um seiner Forderung nach direkt gewählten Senatoren Nachdruck zu verleihen. Diese Wahlen sind jedoch nicht bindend, und bisher sandte der Generalgouverneur erst einen von ihnen tatsächlich in den Senat. Am 13. Dezember 1992 trat Getty endgültig zurück, sein Nachfolger als Premierminister wurde Ralph Klein.
