Letter to the Editor: Forty-One Aspen Students Write expressions Of Thanks To Los Alamos!
Dear Los Alamos,
This new building that Los Alamos has built is beautiful!
One thing that surprised me about the new building was the architecture. The architecture around the whole school is just amazing and beautiful. Another thing that surprised me was the media center. The media center has a fireplace and couches so you can read quietly.
One thing that was eye-catching in the building was the Aspen trees all over the school. The trees in the windows of the media center are incredible! Another thing that was eye-catching was the dining hall. It is very neat and beautiful. Read More
Letter to the Editor: Support Open Space Plan
I’m one of those kids who came back. I had many choices, but my family and I chose Los Alamos. Why? What makes Los Alamos special?
Letter to the Editor: ‘Where Discoveries Are Made’ Is Perfect For This Town
Really? Living exponentially? How presumptuous and unappealing! Los Alamos is a small, richly endowed town with something new and different around every corner and under every rock. Let’s invite others to see how much they can discover about us, our science, our environment, and our resources.
Synonymous with exponential are algebraic, algorithmic, arithmetic, binary, differential, digital, exponent, fractional, integral, logarithm, logarithmic, mathematical, numeral, numeracy and statistical. Surely describes a place the average family would

Versus, Either-Or: It’s A Lazy Way Of Thinking
In management talks, one common framing is “leaders vs. managers,” or, “leadership vs. management.” Many managers like to think that they are leaders when they can’t even manage well. And most self-proclaimed leaders think that managing is beneath them.
Clearly, in our minds we assign values to these two roles. Yet, true leaders, with humility, spend valuable time understanding the people around them, their work, and the context; wise managers value the knowledge of how work is done and think holistically. Read More
Letter to the Editor: Let’s Stop Throwing Good Money After Bad
I’m sure you have read enough letters and emails complaining about the “Living Exponentially” strapline. Well, here is yet another. I’ve yet to read a good reason to use such a bizzare and vague slogan when we have at least one really good one on the entrance of town: “Where Discoveries Are Made”. Plenty of other good ones have been offered that are better than “Living Exponentially”. We certainly are a city different, but unfortunately, that one is taken.
Los Alamos is only here as a community
Letter to the Editor: Too Much Pessimism?
Dear Los Alamos,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news … but “Live Exponentially”, new schools, Central Avenue revitalization, Larry Walkup green whale, and MANY other projects that our County Council has spent an absolute fortune on proves one thing and one thing alone. The Los Alamos County Council doesn’t give a rats butt about what the people want … they want to do what they want and damn the people they were elected to govern. Sounds like Washington, D.C. doesn’t it?
What if they had an election and NOBODY Voted for anyone from the choices of Council candidates? Read More
Goldblatt: How To Handle The Holidays
With the Holidays fast approaching, you may feel the absence of your loved one even more than at other times of the year. It may seem strange to you to celebrate, in light of your recent or past loss. You may even feel it would be somehow inappropriate to make preparations for festivities without the presence of your family member, or friend.
It is true that holidays can be a most difficult time for those who are recently bereaved. However,
