Catch Of The Week: Meta Forcing Users To Follow Trump On Social Media?
By BECKY RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
I have seen a ton of claims over the past week on Facebook and Instagram from users who were shocked to find that they had been “forced” to follow Trump, Vance, Melania, and other members of the new administration.
This seemed way too “big brother” creepy to be real, and I had checked to see if I was in fact suddenly following any of them and I was not. Reassured, I carried on, until I saw this in my news feed.

I most definitely did not follow him, and I was a bit creeped out given the posts about users being forced Read More

By BERNADETTE LAURITZEN
Executive Director
Champions of Youth Ambitions
A new calendar year is often an exciting time to get back to basics. At a time of such divisiveness and strife in the country, we may feel a loss of control over things. We hope to educate about one handy tool you can implement on your own and often in your own home, neighborhood, or school community, however you define it.
About 18 years ago, I was sitting in the Duane Smith Auditorium when I was filling out a simple survey about something called “40 Developmental Assets”. It dawned on me that I received many of these assets from Read More
High School Sports Fans: Simmer Down Or Sit Down
By Dr. Karissa L. Niehoff
NFHS Chief Executive Officer
If you’re a fan of high school sports, we need to talk.
When you’re at the game, do you lose control? If so, everyone sees it—the teachers, the officials, the other fans, the parents, and most importantly, the student-athletes. They see you at your worst. And it leaves an impression—not just of you and the school but all high school athletics.
Research consistently underscores that kids look to adults as inspiration for who they want to be and how they want to live. That’s because adults set the tone. Adults show what behaviors are acceptable Read More
Skolnik: The Health Of Anyone, Anywhere, Is The Health Of Everyone, Everywhere
By RICHARD SKOLNIK

US withdrawal from the World Health Organization will make the US less safe, the world less safe, and diminish US leadership in global health.
Effectively preventing the spread of communicable diseases requires global cooperation in: disease surveillance; understanding the pathogen; developing diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics; determining best practice for addressing the disease; and, providing technical and financial support for countries that lack the means to address these diseases themselves.

Everyone has a story to tell. Embedded in the hours that make up a day and all its mundane activities there are tales to tell.
The Los Alamos Little Theatre proves this in its “The 8x10s (Snappy Name to Come)”, which opened last weekend. Eight plays, penned by local and area playwrights, share some great stories; each told in just 10 minutes. From the most conventional circumstances: grocery shopping, baking bread or Read More

The snowpack in Northern New Mexico lost ground somewhat last week and now is 19-percent of normal. The weather forecast for this coming week includes some much-needed snow.
This week could see an Arctic blast thanks to the Polar Vortex plunging south. These cold blasts are no joke and temperatures can plunge well-below zero in some of our high mountain valleys.
The Moreno Valley where Eagle Nest Lake is located is a prime example. Temperatures here can reach minus-15 or even lower. Please dress warmly.
The record low temperature for Read More
