Submitted by Carol A. Clark
on September 21, 2018 - 9:49am

The Topper Girls and Topper Boys played very strong soccer teams from Albuquerque, the Bosque Huskies in a double hitter this past Tuesday at Sullivan Field. The Topper Girls had the early game and created many offensive chances shooting 27 times against the huskies. Two found their way into the net in the second half: Valerie Li scored off a pass from Vianey Terrazas and Alyssa Parker scored from an assist from Alix Hailey. Leah Wolfsberg and Shelly Doyle did a good job controlling their ball from the back and distributing up to the offense.

One time, I was in a bar with some old friends. Suddenly, everyone was silent and a man, obviously a regular, raised his glass.

“You know what I love about this bar?” he queried.

As a group, the whole bar responded, “No yuppies!”

Obviously, this was a nightly ritual and I not only found it hilarious, it felt great to be part of the group, putting down a stereotypical uber-consumer of the type I often find annoying—for about a minute.

World Futures: Governance Part 3

Submitted by Carol A. Clark
on September 20, 2018 - 3:16pm
By ANDY ANDREWS
Los Alamos World Futures Institute
 
In the previous column we explored governance in families, businesses, organizations that are subject to some external control, and one global entity that uses agreed governance but without external government control (the Internet). It now is useful to explore government and its role in governance.

Drawing from Wikipedia, government is a system or group of people governing an organized community. If you explore the definition in an array of sources, a precise definition becomes confusing and elusive.
