STORY 4: LAKO: Are you prepared for the tax implications of your retirement savings?

\\n

Many retirees with substantial 401(k) savings may not realize that their balance isn\'t equal to its value in the distribution phase. Taxes play a significant role in diminishing the effective value of their savings. When retirees need to withdraw $1.30 for every $1 they spend due to taxes, their retirement funds won\'t last as long as expected. Taxes on Social Security and other sources of income can further erode savings. It\'s essential to have diversified tax status savings, including after-tax savings in Roth IRAs, brokerage accounts, and tax-deferred savings. Diversification allows flexibility in managing taxes during retirement, ensuring more efficient and long-lasting financial security.\\xa0

STORY 5: Editorial: Civilian casualties part of the plan for Hamas terror

\\n

Early news reports regarding an explosion at a Gaza hospital, where hundreds were killed, are being scrutinized. U.S. intelligence suggests that the explosion resulted from a rocket launched by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group that went off prematurely. Evidence points towards a ground explosion rather than an airstrike. Israel released an audio recording capturing Hamas operatives discussing the blast. While civilian casualties in war are tragic, Israel takes steps to minimize them, while its enemies often use civilians as shields and promote civilian deaths for propaganda purposes. This strategy of pushing Israel to harm Palestinians has been ongoing for two decades. Israel\'s right to defend itself is contrasted with Hamas\'s goal of killing innocents.

STORY 6: AI identifies potential new treatment for brittle bone disease

\\n

Artificial intelligence technology has identified the antimalarial drug dihydroartemisinin (DHA), derived from traditional Chinese medicine, as a potential treatment for osteoporosis. Researchers used a deep learning algorithm to screen for molecules that could treat osteoporosis by focusing on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). In mice, DHA effectively reversed osteoporosis-related bone loss and preserved bone structure. It was administered using DHA-loaded nanoparticles. This research offers a promising therapeutic approach for osteoporosis by reprogramming BMMSCs to produce more osteoblasts, the cells responsible for building new bone. Osteoporosis affects millions of elderly people, and DHA presents a new potential treatment.\\xa0

STORY 7: PRUNE

\\n

As the weather turns cooler and winter approaches, many people are busy preparing their yards. Common tasks include winterizing mechanical yard equipment, changing planters or bringing them indoors, and raking leaves. However, when it comes to pruning woody ornamentals and trees, the timing is critical. Pruning in the fall is not recommended because the cuts made during this season stimulate new growth, which may not have enough time to harden off before winter. This can lead to winter damage and limit flourishing in the spring. Pruning for desired shape or long-term health is better done in the dead of winter when plants are dormant or in early spring after flowering. It\'s important to understand the specific needs of your plants and consider consulting your local Extension office for guidance.
