Tax season was extra painful this year. Because I did well in the stock market last year, I 558`ikhad to pay extra for capital gains, but those gains have evaporated and then some in Wall Street’s downward skid. Now, like millions of others with dwindling retirement accounts, I’m wondering what to do.
As a journalist, I’ve never made a lot of money, so it’s remarkable that somebody like me even has a stock portfolio. I credit that to workplace 401Ks, some smart brokers and the penny pinching I learned from my mother.

Op-Ed: About Diabetes Risk Check
By BILL HEINMILLER
Los Alamos
Regarding the Diabetes risk check published on March 28 (link), it is understood T2D is very common, and it is managed, not cured. The linked quiz requires less than a minute. It asks 8 questions (9 if a woman) regarding age, sex, family, blood pressure, exercise, race and BMI to determine your overall risk to T2D.
There is no zero risk response. One caution is if one gets a low risk response, they should not conclude low risk means no risk and nothing more need be done. Similarly, one who gets a high risk response should not choose to do nothing because they are not experiencing Read More

“We are going to back off extremist political rhetoric, encourage our supporters to follow our example, and ask the opposing party to do the same,” said nobody, after the March 31 fire at New Mexico Republican state party headquarters. In a front-page headline, the Albuquerque Journal said GOP leaders were asking for a “cool down” after the fire, but the article below that headline, quoting reactions to the fire, suggested they only wanted Democrats to cool down. Based on the quoted comments, it appears Republican leaders were ready to blame Democratic Read More
Posts From The Road: Dantes View And Artists Drive At Death Valley National Park
Artists Palette: Artists Palette is the star viewpoint on the nine mile Artists Drive area of Death Valley National Park. This view features some of the most colorful rock formations within the national park. The formations are a result of volcanic activity millions of years ago and the array of colors are caused by oxidation of the various minerals found in the rocks. A scale of the scene is seen by two groups of visitors who are located near the center of the photo who were getting a closer view of the rock formations and colors in the area from a ridge line of white rock.

Fr. Glenn: Even If He Will Not…
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Big week this week for most of us Christians, beginning today with Palm (Passion) Sunday, with the rest of Holy Week following as we journey with Jesus to the cross on Good Friday and celebration of His resurrection on Sunday April 20. Many think that Christmas is the holiest day of the year, but while Christmas is certainly a prerequisite for it (at least in the way that God ordained), the greatest day for Christianity is Easter. In Christmas the divine assumes humanity with itself, and with the Easter resurrection divinity opens humanity to new life with Him in eternity as Jesus Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews: ‘The King Of Kings’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos
Now showing at SALA, through Easter Sunday, April 20, is a wonderful, new animated film, “The King of Kings”. It tells the story of Jesus in a way both children and adults can appreciate.
The film is based on “The Life of Our Lord” the story that Charles Dickens wrote solely for his own children. It was his tradition to read it to his family at Christmas each year. Dickens, who died in 1870, insisted the story not be published during his lifetime and not until the family agreed to it. In fact, it was 1934 before the story was published, 64 years after Charles Dickens’ death Read More
