WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — A bill that would have changed the residency requirements for Navajo presidential and vice presidential candidates did not receive enough votes to stay alive. The vote count was 36 in favor and 33 opposed during Thursday's Navajo Nation Council fall session. Since the proposed bill would have made changes to Navajo codes, the bill needed 59 votes to pass. Local Council delegates Pete Atcitty, Wallace Charley and Richard Begaye all voted in favor of the measure. Delegates LoRenzo Bates and Ervin Keeswood voted against the measure. According to Title 2 and 11 of the Navajo Nation codes, Navajo presidential and vice presidential candidates must have permanently lived within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation for at least three years. Legislation 0565-06 would have stricken the residency requirements for the candidates completely, according to the proposed legislation.

They shade the rocky side streets of this town of 1,200 people just outside the reach of a sprawling metropolitan Des Moines, the falling leaves adding to its small-town charm.
First, Dutch elm disease killed many of the trees on Main Street in the 1970s, a signal of struggle ahead facing small Iowa towns.
Then last year, a vicious and surprising November tornado ripped through the southern edge of Woodward, ripping apart 40 homes and laying waste to many of the tall, leafy sentinels that make any prairie town feel warm and protected from the winds.
On Saturday, trees will symbolize new growth. Nearly 200 trees will be planted by newly inspired volunteers along a mile-long stretch of Iowa Highway 210, Woodward's front entrance.
Among the volunteers will be a family whose home was destroyed by the tornado, a family whose father and grandfather died two months ago while helping clean up the community, a student who doesn't have much but is willing to give and an elderly man who for years traveled the same stretch of road on his bicycle picking up garbage.
A: Oddly enough, even though most of us can't even imagine what it would be like to taste music or smell the color red, those with synesthesia can and do that every day. Just as the word anesthesia means "no sensation," synesthesia means "joined sensation." For some reason, stimulating one sense will trigger perceptions in another sense. For example, a bright light might seem loud, the sound of a bagpipe sour, the color after sex a static silver. No one's quite sure of the cause, but there are a few hypotheses. Some experts think that crossed wires in the brain cause the problem (the path to the taste buds gets hooked up to the sense of hearing path, for example), while others believe it's due to a lack of inhibition (when the natural pathways that squelch irrelevant sensory input just aren't working properly).
