The Los Alamos County Clerk will post results of Tuesday’s Primary Election after the polls close at 7 p.m. as they become available. Why is a small special interest group afraid of the voters?
The Charter Review Committee in good faith made its best recommendations to the Los Alamos County Council for improvements to the Charter.
These were intended to clarify, remove ambiguities and to rationalize the processes that had slowly become obsolete over the years.
Council agreed that the separate recommendations had sufficient merit to warrant sending to the voters for their approval or disapproval.
A small group of people in an organization called LAGRI does not want to let the citizens vote on the CRC recommendations. Read More

Quantum computers are still years away, but a trio of theorists has already figured out at least one talent they may have.
According to the theorists, including one from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), physicists might one day use quantum computers to study the inner workings of the universe in ways that are far beyond the reach of even the most powerful conventional supercomputers.
Quantum computers require technology that may not be perfected for decades, but they hold great promise for solving complex problems.

I was listening to the music of Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum today thinking about what I’ll write for this article.
They both grew up in the 60’s.
Tom was more of a rocker and said that he started listening to more and more Folk and American roots music after driving home to Connecticut following the infamous Woodstock Festival of August 1969.
Laurie started listening to the same in high school and college. I read that she really loved the music of the Dillards, the Greenbriar Boys, Ralph Stanley, Bill Monroe and Doc Watson.
