Solo Traveler: Themed Travel – Fountains
When on a long trip, I’ve discovered that I don’t get terribly excited about visiting a place until I actually put feet on the ground. Then the smells, sounds, the struggle to understand and be understood, all conspire to light a fire in my heart and make me want to explore.
I read about the Trevi Fountain in Rome and wanted to see it, but I wasn’t savvy enough at the time to use my iPad’s map functions nor had I discovered the iPad’s GPS. Plus, I went to Rome with two other women who had their own agendas about what to see.

Letter to the Editor: Appalled at Mother/Baby Bear Separation
By ELIZABETH JACOBI was appalled to have read about the events surrounding the capture and separation of these bears.
Euthanizing? Is this our way of getting rid of a situation that we created? Global warming, burn down their environment, take away their food source, and, when they come to our doorstep because they smell food, we kill them!
De ja vu all over again. We did the same thing to the indigenous peoples of the Americas and proclaimed self righteousness.
Shame on us! Read More
Yang: Balancing Between Power And Empathy
It turns out that people lose their empathy once they assume a position of power. (Who’d thought?!) This isn’t just based on hunch, or some social/psychological research findings. A recently published neuroscience study demonstrates such a link in one’s brain (https:////www.npr.org/2013/08/10/210686255/a-sense-of-power-can-do-a-number-on-your-brain.) It’s hard to quarrel with physical evidence.
By and large, I seem to be critical of managers; they bear more responsibilities, and therefore need to be judged on higher standards. Read More
Hygea Health Bite: Five Surprising Sugar Bombs…
Hygea Health Bite: We do sugar in this country like we do everything else ─ in a big way, but it hasn’t always been like this. The average American now consumes about 130 pounds of sugar per year. That’s three pounds per week or 3,550 pounds over a lifetime.
You may be thinking, “There’s no way I eat that much sugar.” Most of us don’t consume that much sugar on purpose, but it comes hidden in many of our everyday foods.
Excess sugar is definitely not our friend. It has been linked to weight gain, depression, low-energy, metabolic, Read More
Support Limits on Carbon Pollution
RAMONA MAICZYNSKIThis summer, New Mexico saw deadly wildfires and yet more extreme drought.
Now, a new report reveals the biggest culprits causing the global warming pollution, which scientists warn will bring even worse extreme weather in the future.
Environment New Mexico Research and Policy Center finds that power plants are New Mexico’s single largest source of carbon pollution, responsible for over half of our carbon emissions. What’s more, the Four Corners Power Plant, outside Farmington, is the 15th most carbon polluting plant in the nation.
I urge New Mexico’s leaders, Read More
Letter to the Editor: Scheduling of Next Big Idea Festival
By RAO GARIMELLAI have been following the discussion on scheduling of the Next Big Idea festival on Yom Kippur. I just wonder if the community should also take into account the Chinese New Year or Dia del Los Muertos (which Wikipedia says is a national holiday in Mexico)?
Incidentally, my family follows Hinduism and on our festival days we wake up early to finish our rather elaborate worship or perform it in the evening and go about our secular activities during the day.
Other than Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year, which have become established as days that the entire nation takes time Read More
