Stones: A Pain In The Kidney

By Dr. DAVID MILLS
Medical Associates of Northern New Mexico

Kidney stones affect as many as one in 10 persons in the United States today. Still, there is considerable variability in stone formers based on geography and genetics. 

New Mexico has a particularly high rate of kidney stones, perhaps as a result of the arid, high altitude environment. Five different kidney stones exist, and the incidence of these types also varies considerably. Calcium oxalate comprises the majority of stones in the United States, and New Mexico is no exception with well over 90 percent of stones of this type. Read More

Living Well Los Alamos: Hands-Only CPR

Living Well Los Alamos
By HELEN IDZOREK
Extension Home Economist
NMSU Cooperative Extension Service

The first week of June is National CPR Week. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation or CPR can be performed by anyone. You do not need to be a doctor, a teacher or even an adult. Many people may feel unable to assist during a cardiac emergency.

In fact, the American Heart Association estimates that the vast majority of bystanders feel unable to assist with or provide CPR. This is especially unfortunate because seventy percent of cardiac arrests occur in residential settings, such as at home. This means Read More

Food On The Hill: Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake

Having served fresh carrot cake at PEEC and the Mountaineers Club meeting recently, that’s the recipe I’ve been asked for in the last month. Like the fresh apple cake I serve a lot, it is laden with more fruit and vegetable matter than is typical of a cake. Unlike the apple cake, the carrot cake is frosted lightly with cream cheese frosting.

A double recipe fills a half-sheet pan nicely, and provides a large flat surface on which to add a message, decorations, candles or other items. Read More

VIDEO Update: Surveillance Camera Captures Cougar At IHM Church

A surveillance camera captured a cougar roaming the grounds of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church Monday evening at 3700 Canyon Road.

Pastor Granillo: The Right Attire

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos

The Right Attire

I remember praying before every band concert that I played in Jr. High. But I didn’t pray for a great performance.

You see, I prayed because my mom would dress me up in dress pants, polished black shoes, a crisp white button up shirt, and a black bow tie; she dressed me for the venue. Now, there was nothing wrong with this, I understood then that appropriate attire was required to play in the band, I was alright with that.

My prayer was that God would convince my mother to take me straight to the concert and then straight back home; I didn’t want anyone to Read More

Winter is over. Spring break has come and gone. That means summer is just around the corner.

In the next few weeks the days will get longer and warmer and that means we’ll be wearing more shorts, tank tops and swimsuits. Many of you may have gained a few pounds over the winter, and if you’re going to look the way you want this summer, now is the time to get your body in shape.

The first thing you’re going to need to do to change your body for the summer is to begin exercising more. As always, a combination of weight training and cardiovascular exercise works the best.

How The Hen House Turns: Raising Finch (1)

How the Hen House Turns
By CAROLYN (CARY) NEEPER Ph.D.
 
Raising Finch (1)

Our adventure with wild Cassin’s finch began one morning before playing tennis at the Barranca Mesa courts.

When I first saw the baby birds, I thought they were pinon pine cones. Then they moved, and I thought a cat had left some injured mice beneath the pinion tree. 

Finally, up close, the wiggling brown things turned out to be tiny, naked birds struggling for security in a sea of short pine needles. There were three of them. They looked very bedraggled and weak.

I found a stick and gently pushed them together beneath Read More
