Letter to the Editor: ‘Live Exponentially’ … I’m Struggling to See a Connection
By PHILLIP NOLL
“Live Exponentially.” What does that even mean? Of or relating to an exponent? Expressible by an exponential function? Characterized by an extremely rapid increase or decrease? (As in an exponential growth/decay rate?) How does any of this relate to Los Alamos? Is it just that “Exponentially” sounds scientific? I’m struggling to see a connection.

Letter to the Editor: ‘Exponentially’ Wasting Money
By E. ALAN WADLINGERLive Exponentially!!! Let’s apply this to increasing the number of “roundabouts” we have in our fair city.
I am sure that there are other things that we can do to exponentially waste money. Read More
Letter to the Editor: Let’s Find the Words that Best Tell People What We Are
By PETE SHEEHEY
Los Alamos County Councilor
Is Los Alamos a playful community? In my 28 years here, I’ve seen we are. Not just in the participation in outdoor and indoor recreation of all kinds by people of all ages, nor in the huge volunteer support of programs from PEEC to robotics competitions to youth and teen activities, but in the very science and engineering that is practiced at the Lab.
Most of those R&D 100 awards for significant scientific inventions that Lab researchers earn every year come from workers taking extra time to apply the methods and ideas used for the Lab’s Read More
Letter to the Editor: A Little Mystified as to What ‘Living Exponentially’ Will Mean to Anyone
By KHALIL J. SPENCEREven after reading the Los Alamos Daily Post article about our new brand, I am a little mystified as to what “Living Exponentially” will mean to anyone, either the scientifically inclined, insider, outsider, or otherwise. This seems yet another attempt to, as Richard Hanneman has often said, be something that Los Alamos is not rather than something we are.
I suspect more than enough really bright people up on the Hill could have done better had we left this idea of branding to ourselves.
Assuming for the moment we have to brand ourselves like some western herd Read More

Letter to the Editor: Seriously … ‘Live Exponentially’?
By CHRISTINE WEAVERJames Rickman said it eloquently. I’ll simply say:
Seriously … “Live Exponentially”?
If that slogan on a sign coming into town wouldn’t make us sound arrogant, I don’t know what would.
I guess for $55,000 we paid for the arrogance, and got caught up in a whole bunch of silly. Every single county council member who voted for that ridiculous slogan should be made to pay back the county coffers, and then should be taken out of the running for the next election.
Letter to the Editor: Manhattan Project Bar & Grill Temporarily Loses Liquor License
By VICTOR MEDINADue to unforeseen circumstances, we lost our liquor license. The license was to be active until the transfer to Bandelier Grill was approved by Alcohol & Gaming, which is another 30 to 60 days.
A few days ago we received notification that the license was prematurely terminated.
In anticipation of losing the license in June, we applied for a restaurant license (Beer & Wine) last month TO USE until our new liquor license comes through. For the last two months we have been in negotiations to lease a new license.
Currently the lease has
