Letter To The Editor: ISIS, Terrorism, And Fear
BOB FUSELIERI’m sure any terrorist will site some reason to validate their belief that their nihilistic violence is a good means to whatever end they seek. ISIS is no exception. They have been successful through their propaganda in recruiting young, marginalized men from all over the world.
I think it’s important to recognize they are attracting young men (not old), men of an age in which the prefrontal cortex has yet to fully develop and who thus lack an important requirement for accurate long-term decision-making. Consciously or not, ISIS takes advantage of this in their recruitment Read More

Bouman: What To Look For In A Long-Term Care Policy
By BEN BOUMANNovember is Long-Term Care awareness month. You may have read my last column on Understanding Long-Term Care. That in mind, I’d like to take you through the basics of what to look for in a Long-Term Care Policy.
Confronting our own mortality is a difficult task in itself. Add to that the notion that we may need someone else to care for us at some point in our lives and it makes for a very difficult topic to broach.
The sooner the conversation begins the better off you will be. Age makes a difference in the cost of a long-term care policy. Generally, the older Read More

Los Alamos Daily Post
The Los Alamos Little Theatre is performing its fifth edition of “8×10,” an evening of eight short plays, about 10 minutes long each. The plays come mainly from local and regional playwrights.

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Steve Jobs’
By Cynthia Biddlecomb“Steve Jobs” is a film about the computing visionary of the same name during his turbulent years from 1984 to 1998. Professionally, this is the period from his development of the Macintosh computer, turning away from the Apple II, through his dismissal from Apple and founding of NeXT computing, into his rehire as CEO of Apple and the launch of the iMac.

Letter To The Editor: Response To ‘I Say Keep Them All Out!’
By DUSTIN JOHNSONI’m not sure if I have ever read a more hateful, bigoted, or inaccurate piece of writing (letter) in my life (with the possible exception of some of the letters about Planned Parenthood in the Los Alamos Daily Post this summer).
There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, a diverse a group of people as any on this planet. To paint them all as identical from knowing a handful in a single country is simply ridiculous, and Mr. Antos is resorting to stereotyping in the extreme.
To demonize all of Islam from a the writings of a handful of religious scholars and a selective Read More

How The Hen House Turns: Sentient Beings
How the Hen House TurnsAs you may have noticed, in this column I tend to focus on animal awareness and street smarts (about humans (sometimes even about streets).

As I struggled to find a positive way to speak in fiction about our iffy future, I took notice of Shermer’s definition of the “moral starting point” as “the survival and flourishing of sentient beings.” (Italics Read More
