The world is not a welcoming place for kids

Jason Darensburg | October 31

My wife and I recently celebrated our 31st anniversary. With each passing year we’re more convinced we made the right decision by not having kids. We decided long ago that we didn’t want to bring children into this world because we could see a looming disaster on the horizon. The future looked pretty bleak at the time, and things have only gotten worse since we tied the knot back in 1983: overpopulation, pollution, economic meltdown, disease, endless war, religious strife — how can anyone turn a blind eye to it?

Ending homeless cycle begins with aid

Jonathan Baca and Matthew Reisen | October 31

Jason Westman has been homeless in Albuquerque for nearly 20 years. He has been diagnosed with PTSD and has a history of alcohol abuse, and though he’s tried to get treatment, he never stays on it for long. During the warm months he sleeps on the streets, begging for change and occasionally staying at a shelter. But every winter, Westman said he usually commits a low-level crime like breaking a window so he can go to county jail, get out of the cold and get three meals a day for a few months.

Network studies brain shifts

Lauren Topper | October 31

After the successful completion of the human genome project in 2003, scientists turned their attention to the wiring of the human brain, considered the next unmapped frontier. At UNM’s MIND research network, the lab of Dr. Vince Calhoun is making headway on a project investigating the “chronnectome” of the brain — an in-depth look at how regions of the brain change in connection with one another, and how that may relate to different diseases, particularly mental illness. The brain can be divided into many different regions, each having their own unique functions.

Scamming landlords crush students with lifelong debt

October 29

You would think that feudalism is a thing of the past, when land-owning lords rented out to peasants who did all the work and the landlords just sat back rubbing their fat bellies while counting out their money. You would be wrong.Today there is a resurgence of feudalism in all but name, and it is right here in the U.S. of A., and it is people who to this day call themselves “landlords.” The only difference is they rent out apartments and houses and parking lots, and where they are making their killing is around college campuses.For one thing, they serve a transient population of students who would rather not take the landlord to court because they are going to leave sometime soon, and they are young and are looking forward, however illusorily, to a materially successful future after graduation.
