We drove for seemingly endless miles through the verdant countryside, a couple of small boxes containing the ashes of mom and dad carefully nestled in the trunk of the car. Our destination was the old cemetery, located not far from where we had grown up, where generations of our family lay in quiet repose. Our parents had chosen this resting place years ago.
As I stepped out of the air-conditioned minivan that late summer morning, my senses were Read More

Early spring is usually the kick-off to hail season. As you are likely aware, hail can do significant damage to anything it comes in contact with depending on the size of the hail. Hail is a solid form of precipitation made up of balls or irregular lumps of ice referred to as hailstones. Hail normally develops and falls during periods of severe thunderstorms. The size of hail varies from pea size on up, with the largest recorded hailstone in the United States measuring 1.67 pounds with a circumference of 17.5 inches.

By REBECCA RUTHERFORD
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
After suffering a huge ransomware attack in February, Change Healthcare has been hit again, by yet another ransomware attack. Yikes!
The attacker this time is RansomHub, a fairly new player to the game, having just popped up a few months ago. On Monday they claimed to have stolen over 4 TB of data from Change Healthcare, and are threatening to sell it to the highest bidder if they don’t receive payment within 12 days.
According to an article by The Register:

Fr. Glenn: Finding Peace
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Heavy sigh.
I just heard of (yet another) taking of one’s own life. It seems to be so frequent these days, especially among young people. I saw a stat the other day that we’ve lost more military and veterans to suicide than to the Gulf War and the conflicts thereafter. Why so much angst in so many?
Well, the reasons are no doubt as varied as the tragedies. A lot comes from despair in finding paths out of abusive relationships, being sunk into alcoholism or depression, fear, hopelessness, forlorn love, money problems … the list can go on. And, I think, a lot of it might be avoided—or at Read More
