Walking down the beach in Mexico, we stumbled upon America’s sweetheart, Paris Hilton, who upon learning London’s name, said “I’d love to name my kid that.” Then the pose. Here’s the shot:

Today the financial wires are reporting the unexplained resignation of the chief executive of a local bank’s parent company.
A story on local bank health in current issue of SFR mentions the troubles at Taos-based First Community Bank, which “took a $79 million loss last quarter.”

First State Bankcorp CEO Michael Stanford will resign Dec. 31 for unclear reasons, Global Finanacial Newswires reported Tuesday morning (Dec. 22).
As the parent company for New Mexico’s First Community Bank branches, the ramifications of the resignation have yet to be clarified by Taos First Community Bank or from the branch’s officials in Albuquerque — all of whom were unavailable for comment Tuesday morning.
