lbuquerque, NM – The experts at Fodor’s Travel announced today that Albuquerque has been named among the Top 25 Places to Go in 2013. Fodor’s editors have chosen Albuquerque as a hot travel destination because of our excellent value for visitors, calling the city an affordable getaway for nature lovers and families. Albuquerque’s visibility on the AMC show “Breaking Bad” has also helped elevate the destination’s profile for travelers.
The complete story is available here: http://www.fodors.com/golist/2013/.
“The places on our Go List are our ‘must-dos’ for the coming year. Travelers should add these far flung and domestic destinations to their 2013 itinerary,” said Arabella Bowen, Executive Editorial Director at Fodor’s Travel. The cities were selected by Fodor’s senior editorial team who began with an initial list of 75 global travel spots, narrowing them down to the final 25 locales on the Go List after heated internal debate.
Albuquerque has also been highlighted as one of 20 Awesome Winter Foodie Destinations by Zagat.com again focusing on Los Poblanos. The story, which is available here: http://blog.zagat.com/2012/12/20awesome-winter-foodie-destinations.html, says “If you haven’t experienced the great Southwest, now is the time and Albuquerque the place to start.”
The story highlights a slower pace of life and calls out the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the ABQ BioPark and Gruet Winery as highlights. Two local lodging boutique properties were called out by the editor – Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm and the Hotel Andaluz - and appropriate for this time of year, Fodor’s mentions the Luminaria Tour at the holidays as a special time to visit Albuquerque.
Just west of Albuquerque, the Acoma Pueblo was also named one of “12 most extreme places in America worth visiting” by BudgetTravel. com and showcased on FoxNews.com. The list is a compilation of longest, coldest, hottest, biggest and oldest. That’s where Acoma “Sky City” Pueblo comes in; it is said to be one of the oldest sites in North America.

Celebrate New Year’s with Kadomatsu Through Jan. 6
A
LBUQUERQUE, NM--Celebrate the coming New Year at the Botanic Garden with kadomatsu, a special Japanese tradition. Handmade arrangements of pine, bamboo and plum blossom will be on display through Jan. 6 at the Sasebo Japanese Garden. Kadomatsu first appeared as a new year’s tradition in Japan’s Edo period more than 700 years ago. The first kadomatsu were filled with sand and water, which could be used to extinguish fires in an emergency. Over time, these useful arrangements became auspicious symbols to be placed outside a door’s threshold to capture good spirits. “The display’s three elements attract good spirits and represent a good luck trait for the coming year,” said Maria Thomas, BioPark Garden Assistant Curator. “Bamboo carries strength, pine embodies longevity, and plum blossom instills purity and hope.” On Dec. 22 at 2p.m. at the gates of the Japanese Garden, Thomas will discuss the origins of kadomatsu and demonstrate how to make them, including showing bamboo cuts, tying the plum blossom knot, and folding the shide or zig-zag paper. While supplies last, guests will be able to make a small hanging kadomatsu arrangement to take home. After the New Year begins, the kadomatsu are burned in a ceremony to release the spirits and carry the homeowner’s prayers of good luck to the heavens. BioPark staff will remove and burn their arrangements on January 7, sending along wishes for a vibrant and beautiful Botanic Garden in 2013.

Managing Your Money: Understanding Your Student Loans
C
ollege may be costly but it tends to pay off in the end. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says workers with a bachelor’s degree earn 65 percent more, on average, than those with just a high school diploma. As for the cost, taking five steps can help make student loan repayment simpler. 1. Use your grace period to get organized for repayment. Federal and most private loans come with a six-month grace period that begins when you graduate or exit school. • Get your documents in order—remember to keep copies of any loan documents you sign. If you will make payments to more than one entity, be sure all your loans are accounted for. • Know when payments are due and the amounts. • Set up automatic payments to ensure timely payment and protect your credit. • If you can, make payments while you’re in school. This will help save you money over time, by reducing the interest that accrues and is capitalized. 2. Before signing up for loan consolidation, be sure you understand it. Student loan consolidation may be a good option to consider
if you are interested in combining multiple private student loans into a new loan with a single monthly payment. Customers may benefit from a lower interest rate and potentially lower monthly payments. Repayment typically begins immediately, even for students still enrolled in school, and although monthly payments may be lower, you may pay more in interest over the life of the loan due to the extended repayment term. 3. Understand your repayment options. • Keep in mind, for federal loans and Wells Fargo private student loans, there is no penalty for making larger payments than the monthly required minimum or paying off the loan earlier than the end due date. With a standard repayment plan, you pay the least amount of interest over the life of the loan. • For federal loan borrowers, there are additional repayment considerations: • Extended repayment may be based on a fixed or graduated repayment schedule over a period of up to 25 years. • With graduated repayment you make lower payments at first, then gradually increase them. • An income-sensitive repayment is adjusted
annually based on your expected income from all sources. • Choosing any of these plans means your payments are less each month; however, you may pay more interest over the life of the loan. • Borrowers may also have the option to defer loan payments for an extended period of time, but beware of the interest that accrues when borrowers choose to defer making payments. 4. Keep in contact with your lender or loan servicer. Notify the lender: • If you change your name, address, phone number or e-mail. • If you have graduated from or are going back to school. • If you can’t make your payments. A new plan may be arranged. 5. Learn more at Wells Fargo Education Financial Services online at www.wells fargo. com/student/repay or call (800) 378-5526. For additional resources on repayment, go to www. wellsfargo.com/student/ planning/calculators/ alternative and www.wellsfargo.com/stu dent/ planning/calculators/interest. (NAPS)

Terry went on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) after being diagnosed with cancer and losing her job due to downsizing. As a result, she took an extended period of time away from work. A year later, with her cancer in remission, Terry learned about the Iowa Development Workforce Center, an American Job Center that’s one of over 1,000 disability employment−focused organizations that provide free employment-related support services to Social Security beneficiaries through the Ticket to Work program. She decided to see what her local American Job Center had to offer. Fortunately, the staff was able to provide her with expert advice about disability benefits and employment. For example, she learned about special Social Security rules called “Work Incentives,” which are intended to help people who receive disability benefits transition to the workforce and become financially self-sufficient. She also found out that recipients of SSDI can keep their Medicare coverage and their cash benefits while gaining work experience during the Trial Work Period. Terry also learned that thanks to another Work Incentive called “Expedited Reinstatement,” she might be able to restart her Social Security benefits without a new application, if she has to stop work because of her disability within five years.

Affordable Family Fun On North Carolina’s Coast
T
ravelers planning a family vacation that won’t break the bank may want to take a closer look at North Carolina’s Crystal Coast in the winter. This Atlantic beach destination has for generations represented one of the only remaining natural barrier island systems in the world. The islands are strung together with 85 miles of silken coastline along the Southern Outer Banks, 56 miles of which are in the protected Cape Lookout National Seashore. Each year, many families head for a budget-friendly experience along the Southern Outer Banks, an area comprised of Emerald Isle, Atlantic Beach, Morehead City, Beaufort and Cape Lookout. Here, visitors can find “Sweater Weather Savings,” presenting affordable attractions and accommodations offerings at more than 40 percent off peak-season rates. From roaming the streets of the 300-year-old town Beaufort—recently named “America’s Coolest Small Town” by Budget Travel—to watching wild Spanish mustangs on Shackleford Banks, exploring countless species at the Aquarium and taking a glimpse back into maritime history, the Crystal Coast remains one of the Southeast’s best values. With plenty of wallet-friendly adventures for the entire family, the 85 miles of silken shoreline offer a great backdrop for a wonderful winter escape, with a variety of local attractions under $10. For example, Fort Macon State Park and the Beaufort Maritime Museum are both free.
Attractions and transportation in the $4 to $10 range include the Cape Lookout Ferry, Shackleford Banks Ferry, the Beaufort Double Decker Tour Bus, North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, Beaufort Historic Site Homes Tours and Old Burying Ground.
From seaside cottages and massive beach mansions to oceanfront hotel accommodations and quaint bed and breakfast inns, there are a range of lodging options to suit every lifestyle and budget. A sampling of best available starting rates includes Islander Inn & Suites at $66/night, Inlet Inn at $75/night, Hampton Inn Morehead City at $99/night, Bluewater Vacation Rentals at $380/week and Emerald Isle Realty at $550/week. Travelers on a budget who want to live like millionaires have the opportunity to rent one of the many opulent homes dotting the coastline due to seasonal savings of more than 40 percent. Another option, the quaint bed and breakfast inns in Beaufort allow visitors to immerse themselves in historic surroundings with the most personalized comfort. (NAPSI)

Reishi Mushroom Offers Hope For Living Healthier Longer W
hen most people think about longevity, they don’t usually think about the immune system. Without the ability to fight off infections and abnormal cells, however, they wouldn’t live very long. This is where the reishi mushroom comes into play.
It’s been used for thousands of years and flourishes mainly on the trunks of plum trees. It’s very scarce, however...out of 10,000 plum trees, perhaps two or three will have reishi growth. Today, there are over 5,000 studies documenting the health benefits of the six primary types of reishi—red, black, blue, white, yellow and purple. Traditionally, black and red reishi have been credited with the most significant health-enhancing effects. Black and Red Reishi Activate Immune Cells Reishi’s immune-enhancing properties are probably the most notable. Reishi is used to fight immunosenescence—the loss of immune function that comes with age. Aging adults produce fewer white blood cells—the immune cells responsible for fighting against bacteria, viruses and abnormal cells. According to Michael Smith, M.D., senior health science specialist with Life Extension in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and host of Healthy Talk radio on WWNN-AM, reishi mushroom extract can increase production of white blood cells from your bone marrow. “Not only that, reishi helps to activate dendritic cells,” says Dr. Smith. “These cells present bacterial and viral antigens like to antibody-producing cells called B cells. As a result, you’re able to effectively fight infections before getting too sick. And if you do happen to get sick, you’ll feel better faster with more antibodies on board.” Reishi mushrooms are also believed to activate intrinsic antioxidants, helping to reduce oxidative stress, one of the leading theories of aging. Highly reactive oxygen compounds, generated from environmental toxins and normal cellular metabolism, bind to healthy cells and tissues, causing damage. Naturally occurring compounds in reishi can boost intrinsic antioxidants, sequestering the damaging oxygen compounds and preserving healthy cell and tissue function. In animal models, reishi was shown to
T
increase the intrinsic antioxidant activity of plasma glutathione by 34 to 42 percent, liver catalase by 19 to 30 percent and liver glutathione by 9 percent. Boosting liver antioxidants, such as catalase and peroxidase, is considered an extremely important strategy for living longer, given the toxic environment. The EPA estimates that over 70,000 industrial chemicals are used in the U.S. “And if that’s not enough to make you sick,” says Dr. Smith, “government scientists estimate the average American has over 700 chemicals in his or her blood- stream at any given time.” A weak immune system and high levels of oxidative stress are counterproductive to living healthier longer. For many, reishi mushroom extract offers real hope for reversing these two aging processes. The reishi mushroom extract complex delivers powerful compounds and represents the next generation of natural immune support.

A Trike That Can Grow With Your Tyke
here’s good news for parents or grandparents who want the best for a child. There’s a new adaptable tricycle designed to change as a child grows. It’s built in a way that lets a parent get involved while the child enjoys it and develops independent skills.
Described as the world’s most advanced tricycle, the new Smart-Trike 4 in 1 Dream—thought by many to be a great value—has patented swivel wheel Touch- Steering™ technology, which is like power steering that allows the parent to use the slightest touch to maneuver the trike. Unlike regular strollers or tricycles, the Smart-Trike Dream has two steering modes. The first mode—external control—allows full parent control. The second mode—internal steering-is adjustable to allow more and more child independent control-which eventually can completely transform the product into a traditional tricycle. There are a number of features that have contributed to the trike earning dozens of awards and honors, including being named a 2012 Top Ten Best Children’s Product from Dr. Toy. For example, it has built-in suspension and shock-absorbing rubber wheels for a much smoother and safer ride for the child. (NAPSI)
