Life After 50: 9/11 Memorial Shanksville, PA
By BERNADETTE LAURITZEN

I recall sitting on the living room floor after being awakened by a phone call from my brother. He said, “The lab is okay, but turn on the tv.” The first plane had struck the Twin Towers and then we watched the rest unfold. Our son was in Becky Sim’s afternoon kindergarten class and we would not have to go that afternoon. The next day a lovely letter from Laura Bush was sent home with the students. The world would change forever.
A few years ago, I read, The Only Plane in the Sky by Garret Graff. It was an amazing book that detailed the day minute by minute and Read More

By SHARON SNYDER
Los Alamos
Frank Rand Jr. was born in Saint Louis, Mo., in January 1907, and attended the Los Alamos Ranch School in 1923-1924. In that year at the ranch school, he fell in love with New Mexico.

I have seen a lot of phishing attempts in my life, some of them really well done, some of them um…not so great.
Surprise, I declined the attempt to share this.
This is a phishing scam. The notification “hacked crash exposed” is a decidedly not legitimate message from Google. Scammers frequently use alarming, fake file names to trick recipients into clicking malicious links.
While the notification itself does come from Google’s legitimate sharing Read More
Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: Sept. 3, 2025
BRIDGE News:
John Ruminer and Earle Marie Hanson were 1st in the September 2 game, and Cliff Rudy and Jerry Fleming won on September 3. Debra Duncan from Taos was a guest at the September 2 game.
Here is an interesting hand, made easy if East, the dealer, is willing to open the bidding. The trend nowadays is to be willing to open a little lighter than the traditional 13+ point hand, made popular with the success that people playing the Precision system have; one of the features of which is to open all 11+ point hands.

Sleep can be elusive for me. On the occasional good nights, I hit the pillow and get my necessary zzzs, though I do wake up at least once during this span. Most times, though, I lie in bed wide awake because I can’t turn my brain off. I try numerous techniques to help me relax and to stop the mental regurgitation, but much of the time they fail to work. And as the clocks ticks, I just get more stressed over the fact I’m not sleeping. Then it becomes a vicious cycle.

Calendar invites are pretty innocuous right? Unless they’re a phishing campaign…
According to reports from bleepingcomputer.com iCloud Calendar invites are being abused to send callback phishing emails disguised as purchase notifications directly from Apple’s email servers, making them more likely to make it through your spam filters, and into your inbox!
