During the Vietnam War former congressman Steve Pearce flew C-130 transport planes when the enemy was trying hard to shoot them down. As the president’s newly appointed director of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Pearce may feel like he’s still in the cockpit.
He’s got a great deal of relevant experience for the job – “at least he’s not a Fox News host,” grouses one BLM retiree I know – but the environmental community is already warming its legal engines. The BLM oversees about half of all federal land in New Mexico and some 245 million Read More

McQuiston: How Modern Cars Spy On You – And What Data They Collect
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
Jemez Insurance Agency
Serving Los Alamos Since 1963
Most of us think of our cars as pretty simple: you get in, you drive, you park, you’re done.
But newer cars … they’re not really “machines” anymore. They’re rolling computers. And like most computers, they’re constantly collecting data — often a lot more than people realize.

Let’s take a calm, clear look at what’s actually being gathered and why.

Fr. Glenn: Temple To Temple
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
An interesting and somewhat unusual feast for Catholics this weekend (Nov. 9)—the feast of the dedication of the basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. Like the cathedral in Santa Fe is the central church of the Archdiocese, St. John Lateran is the cathedral of the city of Rome and the actual cathedral of the pope in his role as Bishop of Rome. St. John Lateran is the oldest church in Rome, first dedicated in the 300s after Constantine legalized Christianity. Thus, it is considered the “mother” of all Catholic churches—many considering it the mother church of all Christianity. Read More
