For the Los Alamos Daily Post
Got a Facebook (Meta) business account? You’d better be ready for Meta copyright infringement-themed scams! If you get messages to your business email (or Messenger account) like below, think twice before you reply.
These scams try to imitate the actual Meta and try to make it sound like your business account has somehow done something wrong, usually implying you have infringed on some kind of copyrighted material. Yikes! See more info below.
From the above message, you can see that it comes from a totally random Gmail address. Why Read More
Chamberlin: Response To Kelly Myers And Emma Abata
By REBECCA CHAMBERLIN
Los Alamos
I wish to respond to the July 22 Op/Ed from Kelly Myers and Emma Abata (link).
The situation is all the more tragic because so much of the Palestinians’ pain has been perpetuated by their own leadership, and maintained and fostered for decades by the UN agency that should have provided resolution to their displacement.
Pages Of Our History: Ranch School Boy William C. Baird
By SHARON SNYDER
Los Alamos
William Cardwell Baird attended the Los Alamos Ranch School (LARS) between 1933 and 1936. After leaving LARS, he attended the Allendale Columbia School in Rochester, NY, and in 1940, graduated with a degree in engineering from Cornell University in Ithaca.
When war broke out, William joined a Seabee Battalion and served in the Pacific Theater. He was assigned to various island outposts, including Midway, Tinian, and Palau. On Palau, he saw combat action during landfall and was commended for valor. Most significantly, he was placed in charge of the construction Read More
Goldman: About Benson’s Response To Rabbi Shlachter
By TERRY GOLDMAN
Los Alamos
I write to appreciate Jody Benson’s civilized response (link) to Rabbi Shlachter’s post (link).
Of course, I have some quibbles with language. Bret Stephens’ NYT opinion piece (link) covers better than I can, the misuse of the word “genocide”. Benson degrades the meaning and power of that word just as those who call someone a Nazi for their bad (not even evil) behavior. We should all be more careful in our use of language.
My other objection is to the use of the term “ethnic cleansing”. As a member of a very large family of people repeatedly subjected to ethnic cleansing Read More

By ALLAN SAENZ
Owner
SALA Los Alamos Event Center
Beginning this evening, SALA Los Alamos Event Center will host Free Palestine, a multi-part film and discussion series produced by an independent group that rented our facility. The announcement has sparked strong emotions across our community; several members have resigned their memberships, and our staff has received a number of angry phone calls and emails.
We write to clarify three points:
SALA’s Mission as a Public-Facing Venue
SALA is an event center first and foremost. We provide space for school recitals, church services, science Read More

It has been quite a while since New Mexico has done anything substantive to make life better for injured workers covered by the workers’ compensation system.
Instead, we’re making it easier for them to hire lawyers.
Three different actions, a law and two court decisions, have made inroads into the only barrier reducing lawyers’ incentive to represent injured workers in court: money.
About 90 percent of workers compensation claims are resolved without litigation. Either the treatment of the worker was reasonable, so litigation was not needed, Read More

In July 1975, I was stringing for the Gallup Independent from the Navajo Reservation, when they asked me to work temporarily in Grants. The Independent had acquired a small newspaper there, but their hire for that job didn’t want to live in a uranium boom town and fled. They were desperate. It was a Friday, and deadline was Monday.
“Go to Grants and get anything you can,” the assistant editor said.
I’d never heard of the place but figured the best way to fill space was to take pictures. I wound up at Acoma Pueblo on a feast day. As I stood on the Read More
