Student Debt: What a Pain!Dear Mary: Our daughter graduated from college with more than $100,000 in student loans. Her first job did not pay enough for her to begin repaying the loans. The only loan that we co-signed is more than $600 a month. We did not know that it was in default until she was several thousand dollars behind. This came at us after a home remodel and a wedding. We are not prepared to pay this loan, and we ...

Finally! A Pole You Can Believe InI was waiting in the ticket line for "Brideshead Revisited" the other day — making time to see great movies is part of a healthy lifestyle — when I spotted evidence of a wonderful fitness trend I want to encourage: regular people, out walking, in city streets, using hiking poles.
In this case it was a man and woman — mid-40's, casually dressed, L.L. Beanish — and ...

Obama, Clinton, Biden and McCainDENVER — The goodie bag given to attendees of the Democratic National Convention includes maps, magnets and Dale Carnegie's Golden Book. The first principle for Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is: "Don't criticize, condemn or complain." No. 2: "Give honest, sincere appreciation."

Parties Afraid to Face Population ExplosionDENVER — There's a burning concern in the American West — almost an obsession — that Democrats will not touch in their convention here. Nor will Republicans in St. Paul. It is the U.S. population explosion. The West is feeling the brunt of it, as flowing lava of housing developments and big-box crudscapes claim its cherished open spaces — and increasingly scarce water suppl ...

Knowing when to bailWhen should you sell? That's the most difficult question for a buy-and-hold investor to answer. It's so much easier to think about buying stocks, which only requires a basic optimism that future growth will create wealth. Who wants to think about selling — a decision that is far down the road?

The 'Safe' ConventionDENVER — For those of you who believe that the Hillary Clinton Uprising is a fairy tale concocted by a press in search of convention controversy, think again.
Hillary Clinton's seductive charms lie heavy on the Mile High City. Defiant supporters can be seen citywide sporting Hillary pins and T-shirts, in direct defiance of unity.
