Los Alamos Golf Course Serves as Extraction Site for Injured Biker
A rescue helicopter landed at the Los Alamos Golf Course Sunday afternoon, as it was the closest extraction site for a man injured in a motorcycle accident north of Gauje Pines Cemetery. The helicopter landed on the driving range and remained for about an hour. Once Los Alamos Firefighters rescued the man, they transported him to the golf course and air lifted him to St. Vincent’s in Santa Fe. “This was the first time the golf course has been used as an extraction point in all the years that I’ve been here … we were glad to help,” golf pro Donnie Yang: Something Creative

Around the time of the announcement, the “Room for Debate” Op-Ed in the New York Times (link below) had several panelists pen their opinions on “Is Creativity Endangered?” Nothing terribly new, and there were no earth-shatteringly creative perspectives in these op-ed pieces, but a little synthesis of my favorite points, combining some other perspectives, can at least provide some food for thought.
When we mention “creative people,” we tend Read More

Exciting New Ingredients Shown to Stimulate Skin Cell Growth
Skincare ColumnOne of the most exciting ingredients recently introduced into advanced clinical skin care products for home use is epidermal growth factor, or EGF.
This substance has been shown to stimulate the growth of new skin cells, making products containing EGF an excellent addition to an anti-aging home care regimen.
