Politics shouldn't factor
into marketing decisions
I must firmly agree with Mark Hendrickson, who wrote, "When political decisions about where to allocate scarce economic resources supplant market decisions, production is inevitably diverted from the most highly valued needs to less valued things."
Exactly! Consider some examples:
The federal government has succumbed to huge political pressures to fund immensely expensive studies of biology, the human genome and diseases. Are any medical insurance companies funding this? No, of course not, because there is no market value, which clearly means this money has been wasted and diverted from the valued things of expensive medicines and marginally effective health care.
Similarly, the government spent small fortunes on electronic communications to supplant telephone and telegraph lines and pointless fundamental research, which accidentally led to the creation of the World Wide Web.
Did any business support this? No. Another waste of tax dollars.
Clean up LAHS — Do it for Bill
On Thursday, the retired teachers of Los Alamos Schools had their annual Not Back-To-School breakfast. Everybody was talking about Bill Hudson and writing notes to him … the guy who became such an icon of Los Alamos.
After our breakfast I visited Bill Hudson and I am delighted to report that he is out of the hospital and at his home. He is telling jokes and laughing at other's feeble attempts at jocularity. He is resting comfortably and his mind is sharp. He is living abundantly each day and he missed not being at the retired teachers' breakfast. He is planning on attending the next one in August 2016! I promised him that I will pick him up and take him.
With the candor that he and I shared for two score and three years — I asked him about his dedication to the community of Los Alamos if there is some unfinished project that I could help with.
Bill asked me to write a letter to the editor and ask that the high school students would pick up trash on the grounds of Los Alamos High School.
I beg the faculty, staff and students and all the good people of Los Alamos to do that for the "Old Jock," so that next year at the School Retirees' Breakfast we can show Bill, Los Alamos listens when Bill talks!

Missoula Theatre
a complete success
On behalf of the Los Alamos Arts Council, we would like to thank the cast members of Missoula Children's Theatre's production of "The Jungle Book" for their wonderful performance.
The arts council would like to thank Los Alamos County for co-sponsoring this event, which was also partially funded by a grant from the New Mexico Children's Foundation.
We would also like to thank all the parents and friends of the cast who attended the play on Saturday, as well as the staff of Crossroads Bible Church. They were wonderful to work with and made the week a complete success.
Additionally, many thanks go to Los Alamos Arts Council board members who volunteered their time to help make this year's production a wonderful experience for the participants and to all of LAAC supporters whose annual membership fees make programs like this possible.
Finally, thanks, as always, to the community of Los Alamos for supporting the many programs and events presented by the Los Alamos Arts Council.

Two sides to oil story
Marita Noon doesn't refer to the advantages of forbidding exports of American oil.
Aside from enhancing national security, it keeps oil prices down here, which is good for the American consumer, however difficult for oil companies.
Since refined products may be exported, it also increases American industrial jobs by supporting keeping and building American refineries.
Whether or not these considerations override supporting Canadian and minimizing Iranian oil exports, "you can judge for yourself." But one should at least be honest about the various sides to the discussion.

Flat roofs will eventually leak
I can't understand why the county feels a need to keep trying to find a flat roof that doesn't leak.
Our house was built with a pitched roof in 1970 by Home Planning. The original roof has been replaced twice. They have never leaked.
I have never been to college, but I know that the county needs to stop building libraries with flat roofs.

More must be done for N.M. children
Early last week, information was published by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, ranking the 50 states on various factors that indicate child well being.
New Mexico is a jaw-dropping 49th — even more astounding, our state has hovered in this area, dropping to 50th position in 2013, for several years.
Child poverty rates around the state are increasing steadily and programs to help these children are few and far between.
Looking at this information, coupled with the start of the 2015-2016 school year quickly approaching, and everything that goes along with it — the stress of homework, readjusting to the school schedule, and making new friends — and it is easy to imagine this can be a difficult, overwhelming time for a child.
Los Alamos is widely praised throughout the state and beyond, as being a great community, due to the affluent nature of the community.
Even in a community like Los Alamos, there are children and families struggling and in need.
We must do better for all of our children.
It sounds daunting, impossible even, but there is a way to make a difference: volunteer.
The Family YMCA is proud to be the only YMCA in New Mexico and one of 38 states that is currently offering the free Reach and Rise Mentoring Program.
Beware of fees with Quemazon HOA
I want to give my former neighbors in the Quemazon communities a heads-up about some exorbitant fees you may be unaware of that you will face when/if you decide to sell your home within the Quemazon Master Association or its Woodlands Homeowner Association (HOA). I suspect the other HOAs within Quemazon have similar fees.
We recently sold our home on Sinuoso and, much to our surprise, we were hit with an additional $800-plus expense from the management company of the Quemazon Master and Woodlands HOAs that was added to our closing costs.
Following is the text of a message I sent June 13 to the person listed as president of the Master Association on the Quemazon website. I have not received a response.
We also communicated our surprise and displeasure to the president of the Woodlands HOA. He said the Board of Directors would be discussing these fees.
Please beware of what can happen to you if you decide to sell your home.
"We are unsure whether you are still the president of the Quemazon Master Homeowner's Association (HOA), but trust that you will direct us to the appropriate person if this online info is out-of-date.
Time to compensate Downwinders
Upon the 70th anniversary of the Trinity blast, we must not forget what has happened and continues to happen to the people of our state.
Tina Cordova, Co-Founder of The Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, along with other members, have recently met with Senator Tom Udall and Senator Martin Heinrich. "We were unknowing, unwilling, uncompensated taxpaying guinea pigs in the world's largest science experiment" is how Cordova describes what happened to the people who were and continue to be affected by the radiation from The Trinity site test on July 16, 1945.
The Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) set up in 1990 to compensate people living downwind of the Nevada test site is long overdue in including the residents of New Mexico.
Please contact your Congressmen/Congresswoman and let them know the amendments to RECA should be a priority for them in Washington. The Santa Fe New Mexican did an incredible job in their Five Part Series, "The Legacy of the Bomb, Trinity 70 years Later."
Los Alamos MainStreet, producer of ScienceFest, in collaboration with the Los Alamos Creative District and Los Alamos County, would like to thank everyone involved with the production of ScienceFest: The Secret City Unlocked.
ScienceFest celebrates Los Alamos' heritage with history and science-based events for the entire family. It is the signature event of Los Alamos County.
Our goals were to showcase the remarkable science and technology community of Los Alamos while drawing people to the central business district and supporting a vibrant downtown. Our goals were realized by the programming produced and volume of attendees.
We would especially like to thank our sponsors: New Mexico True — State Tourism Department, Los Alamos National Bank, Google, Los Alamos Medical Center, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Security, COMPA Industries, CHRISTUS Health Plan and Richard P. Feynman Center for Innovation.
We would also like to thank our partners: Bradbury Science Museum, Los Alamos Historical Society, Los Alamos Little Theatre, Buffalo Tours, Fuller Lodge Art Center, KRSN 1490 AM, Flowers by Gillian, Bathtub Row Brewing Co-op, Los Alamos Arts Council, Christian Science Society, Los Alamos Women in Science and Holiday Inn Express.
Our Flag, My Flag
There is hardly anything more beautiful than to be on a troopship coming into harbor with all those American flags flying. I'm home, I'm home, I'm home.
From the time I was a 12-year-old Boy Scout, I remember being respectful to the flag that represents so many good things about the United States of America.
I am a first generation American, as were so many of my classmates. We were Scots, Italian, Yugoslavian, Mexican, Polish, Japanese, Irish and more. It was a great time and a great place to grow up, and every morning we recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
Some might call this brainwashing, but it was in gratitude for a country that would allow us to be what we could not have been if our parents had stayed in the old country.
We could be and were engineers, doctors, chemists, teachers, dentists, lawyers, small businessmen, mayors, senators and more. That is what the flag means.
I can arm myself with a firearm and no one can take it from me. I'm a free man.
My kids, grandkids and great-grandkids can go to any school or university they wish, for there are no class distinctions. I can vote for anyone I wish and I can run for office if I don't like what I see, and I can win.
Foundation responds to letter
Without our being aware of it, my organization, the Rio Grande Foundation, has been the center of some controversy in Los Alamos County, as relates to the Los Alamos Aquatic Center. Most recently, a letter from Betty Ann Gunther discussed our organization's supposed involvement in budget cuts at the aquatic center.
We did publish a report in 2011 called the "Piglet Book" which argued that the $1 million-plus the county was spending annually to operate the center was exorbitant.
Apparently, four years later, a majority of the Los Alamos County Council agrees at least that other budget items took precedence over the aquatic center.
I don't know whether or not a councilor ran across our report in their research on the issue, but the information remains as relevant today as it was then.
Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't take issue with the inordinate attention Ms. Gunther pays attention to our funding. She can certainly argue that other priorities should have yielded to the aquatic center, but it seems that the funding sources of conservative and free-market groups are a far greater issue for their critics than are the funding sources of liberal organizations.

Never vented on here before....advice anyone?!
It's a boy!!!
Baby #1, Ethan Vaughn, due 4/15/13
Tell him you want your insurance to handle it. That may change his mind right there. He may not want the hassle. USAA is great.
USAA will have the guy take the car to a shop that they approve. If the damage is less than your deductible you would just pay that amount... if it is more than your deductible you just pay your deductible. But they work all that out with his insurance company and all of that however they won't accept some quote from a shop that is not registered with their company.
Mom to 3 little girls 5 and 3, and littlest born 4/6
I would go through insurnce only, don'd deal with him personally, he needs to have a written quote given to your insurance company
Not only that but he may be just looking to get a way to pocket money and not actually get it fixed
I was just thinking more of informing them his repair shop is owned by a friend in case the friend tries to 'talk up' the damage. It shdnt matter, though, since the usaa adjustor will be photographing it and giving it his own estimation etc..
Btw, I was recently hit and remembered to take a photo of my car but reminded myself if I hit someone in the future, I shd take a pic of their damage before they drive off-just in case they are into working the system. But it's hard to remember these things in the moment!

More Noise Pop picks
Los Angeles' proudly punky ladies have been busy tearing out new tunes back home. Expect them to show their hand in their constant quest to drive the audience bonkers. Also on board is more of their characteristically dark imagery. "There's nothing worse than happy-joy-joy," drummer Kate Hall says. "You gotta go through some dark stuff." (Kimberly Chun)
With DJ Amp Live and Tempo No Tempo. Tues/26, 8 p.m., free for badge holders and VIPs. Rickshaw Stop, 55 Fell, SF. (415) 861-2011
Indie pop rarely gets sweeter or more radio-friendly than in the hands of San Francisco's preternaturally poised Minipop. The foursome found an avid listenership early in their career, and the recently released A New Hope (Take Root) finds the unit looking fondly back at the dreamy alt-pop of the early '90s, with graceful nods to 4AD forebears. (Chun)

Perhaps the Mumlers were channeling the spirit of William Mumler, a mid-19th-century man famous for claiming he could photograph ghosts, but once all seven band members touched their fingers to a Ouija board's planchette, the board, they claim, spelled out their group's name. Regardless, it's clear their swaggered ruckus pop channels dead folk musicians galore. Despite the ghostly origins of their handle, the Mumlers' live appearances tend into turn to lively celebrations, with the outfit dancing about the stage. Their repertoire of instruments rivals any philharmonic's and includes guitars, drums, upright bass, various keyboards, euphonium, French horn, trumpet, clarinet, tambourine, pedal steel, and recently, eagle whistles from Mexico. While the tunes give old-time music an indie pop sheen, beneath the group's sprawling arrangements the lyrics and vocal delivery compare to those of Johnny Cash's later recordings with a touch of early Bob Dylan. (Alex Felsinger)
With the Entrance Band, honey.mooon.tree, and Golden Animals. Feb. 27, 9 p.m., $14. Cafe du Nord, 2170 Market, SF. www.cafedunord.com [2]
This group has no shortage of hooks and crescendos, and with a lighthearted indie pop style familiar enough to capture anyone's attention and enough creativity to hold it, they stand out from their peers. Listeners have drawn comparisons to Voxtrot, the Shins, and Of Montreal for good reason, but in the end the Morning Benders' biggest debt is to the Beatles. So far they've recorded all of their releases at home but have always managed to mimic that old analog sound, even when using nothing but a laptop and one microphone. With their upcoming debut, Talking Through Tin Cans (+1), they've successfully stepped into hi-fi wonder without losing their homespun feel. The Morning Benders don't break any musical molds, but their solid songwriting and smooth deliver serve pop tradition well. (Felsinger)
With Kelley Stoltz, Grand Archives, and the Weather Underground. Feb. 28, 8 p.m., $14. Independent, 628 Divisadero, SF. www.theindependentsf.com [3]
SF's grungy indie rock band the Blacks sound so much like the Pixies that they ought to be called the Frank Blacks, but they trump the re-formed Pixies in stage presence tenfold. Vocalist JDK Blacker doesn't sing much at all but rather focuses his energy on livening up the audience: sometimes he'll help drummer Gavin Black smash cymbals, or perhaps he'll simply thrash around with his trusty tambourine. Vocalist Luisa Black holds the group together with solid alternating rhythm and lead guitar, while Gavin Black's drumming shines with stripped-down, solid beats. The Blacks take the simplicity of '70s punk and garage rock and jump-start the attitude: the concept isn't new, but then, a combo doesn't need to be entirely original to rock. (Felsinger)
With Cursive, Darker My Love, and Judgement Day. Feb. 29, 8 p.m., $18. Great American Music Hall, 859 O'Farrell, SF. www.gamh.com [4]
Crass saved punk. They never fit the part, never ripped off the Rolling Stones, and never tried to become famous, because they genuinely wanted to create a better world and thought they could do so through music. But in the past four years every kid with a leather jacket has picked up an acoustic guitar to sing against the war and capitalism, recorded some songs on their PowerBook, then thrown them up on MySpace. Folk punk has swept the nation's underground to the point where 924 Gilman Street Project hosts a monthly Acoustic Night. Bringing it full circle, New York City's Jeffrey Lewis recently released 12 Crass Songs (Rough Trade), composed entirely of acoustic versions of Crass numbers, including some of the group's best. Lewis came out of his city's so-called antifolk scene a Crass cover LP ought to be deemed antifolk punk, right? and his vocal patterns have a hushed, somewhat raplike flow. The CD's best track has to be "Punk Is Dead," which Lewis delivers as a wistful ballad. Hearing a folk singer recite the lyrics 25 years after the first recorded incarnation makes more sense than ever because the words are certainly truer today. (Felsinger)
With the Mountain Goats, OKAY, and Aim Low Kid. Feb. 29, 8 p.m., $18. Bimbo's 365 Club, 1025 Columbus, SF. www.bimbos365club.com [5]
Do You Like Rock Music? is the provocative title of British Sea Power's new Rough Trade LP. Well, sure, but do I like their brand of grand indie? Their engorged drums and highly dramatic overtures just might get them discounted as the Big Country of the '00s, though their quieter moments and more experimental textures hint at increasing and welcome complexity and nuance. (Chun)
With 20 Minute Loop, Colour Music, and Off Campus. March 1, 9 p.m., $14. Bottom of the Hill, 1233 17th St., SF. www.bottomofthehill.com [1]
These SF vets of Evening have come a long way from would-be bell-ringing bouts, taking on an epic yet poppy, synth-dappled alt-rock veneer with the self-released Novakinesis. (Chun)
With Panther, Wallpaper, and Distraction Fit. March 1, 9 p.m., $10$12. Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell, SF. (415) 861-2011
One might note that the flowing harmonies between the four members of Port O'Brien work so well onstage that the audience would be doing a disservice to the band if they joined in. But that would be an unfair request. Port O'Brien's music emits the instant atmosphere of a warm campfire sing-along. The group's more intimate acoustic concerts are now only rare gems, and their recorded efforts tend to fall short of capturing the same level of energy, yet their glowing personalities and dedication to the crowd are still evident at their amplified full-band performances. (Felsinger)
With Delta Spirit, What Made Milwaukee Famous, and the Mayfire. March 1, 9 p.m., $10$12. Cafe du Nord, 2170 Market, SF. www.cafedunord.com [2]
Imagine Julian Casablancas with a freshened-up adenoidal approach and jaded 'tude intact, backed by sloppy-cool disco-rock rats. Equipped with a taste for that tatty late '70s intersection where punk and disco met, snarled, and duked it out on the train on the way back to the boroughs, these New York City decadance-kins seem likely to outshamble Babyshambles and their louche ilk. Too bad you can only be a virgin once wonder what the combo's next trick will be? (Chun)

Inner Nectar - Rejuvenation through Soma Prana Vinyasa and the Inner Arts of Yoga
This Transformational Immersion offers a meditative, rejuvenating, lunar approach through vinyasa.
Soma Prana Vinyasa is dedicated to the healing lunar arts of yoga through meditative vinyasa. This immersion is centered around a regenerative practice that is one-half meditative prana vinyasa namaskars and deep lunar mudrasanas (long holds) and one-half inner arts of meditation, mantra, mudra, self-massage and deep shavasana. Soma is connected to the inner water, ojas (essence, vitality and amrita as the sublime nectar of healing) – the energy that can green a desert, and restore love.
This new Prana Vinyasa class format is distilled from 24 years of evolution of vinyasa and is the first module (part one) to offer how to teach lunar vinyasa as a balancing, healing approach to transforming stress and tensions, cultivating ojas and circulating nectar.
In this intensive you will learn three prana soma vinyasa sequences for regeneration that incorporate these elements of a Soma Prana Vinyasa™ practice:
• Lunar Prana Vinyasa Namaskars for cultivating movement meditation, fluidity, rejuvenation
• lunar mudrasanas – long holds in forward bends, inversions, restorative and supine asanas
• meditation - mantra, mudra, and contemplation
• opening and closing chants for regeneration
• sahaja prana flow – healing flow of spontaneous movement
• pranayama – lunar breath flows and other prana kriyas
• wisdom sutras from the tantras and universal wisdom to bring into class
• prana nadi self-massage - with massage tools, sacred touch and optional essential oils or ayurvedic oils
• life-practices for cultivating ojas through ayruveda
• Continued study and support through three-month to one-year online program that integrates the transformation of lunar vinyasa into your daily life.
Experience an immersion to tend the inner fire through the transformative full-spectrum practice of Chakra Vinyasa integrated with sublime teachings and meditations of the earliest Tantras.
Our journey will move through the Chakra Prana Vinyasa sequences refined over the last decade and integrated with the teachings and meditations from the earliest Tantra. Each day we will explore chakra prana vinyasa sequences to balance and liberate your system integrating chakra mandala namaskar, circular sequencing, chakra-based meditation, mantra, mudra, and yoga nidra (deep relaxation). We will also integrate movement meditations from prana vinyasa for exploration and embodiment.
Through this practical and inspirational exploration of the chakra system and yogic body, we will develop a transformative approach to the body mandala and learn to assess our imbalances and translate this into practical vinyasa yoga sequences for our self, private students, group classes and living the flow of yoga.
In a world where we can see the disconnecting effects of a "dim fire" or the burn out of the "excessive fire", inner firekeeping is an all-encompassing metaphor for the yoga of householder life. The chakra system brings together the alchemy for tending the fire of the many dimensions of ourselves – root to heart to crown, inner and outer. Our mission is to emerge nourished and inspired with tools to deepen your practice, teaching living yoga.
Our immersion includes:
• Prana Vinyasa Movement Alchemy –Chakra Vinyasa sequencing in balance

We will integrate a liberating, philosophically and physiologically grounded approach to fluid movement and flow into their practice and teaching.
Learn Shiva's fluid, dynamic approaches to yoga, movement, and healing and participate in the creative quantum intelligence that guides our evolution from within as a natural path to freedom.

Embodying the Flow + Mandala of Asanas Teaching Labs
Each week of our teacher training immersion will include teaching labs for Embodying the Flow and Mandala of Asanas.
Evolutionary Vinyasa Teacher Training Program is for aspiring and seasoned teachers as the introduction to a wholistic, energetic approach to teaching vinyasa as more than a technique or style of yoga but a way of guiding the flow of our body, practice and life.
Based upon the teachings of Krishnamacharya's lineage, Tantra, Sacred Arts, Ayurveda, Bhakti and Somatics, 200-500 Evolutionary Vinyasa Teacher Training models the synthesis approach to integrating the roots and evolution of living yoga that Shiva has been pioneering for over 20 years of teaching in the fertile soil of LA's yoga community and annual retreats to India.
Teaching vinyasa is an art that requires a teacher to develop related tools using their voice, hands-on assists, observation and energetic attunement to provide guidance that facilitates the state of flow of a class. In this week-long immersion, you will
learn the energetic alignment for core asanas within the Mandala of Asanas™ based upon an integrated understanding of 1) the movements of Prana; 2) embodied practical anatomy; 3) how to open and strengthen the core structures of embodiment.

Fungal sexual reproductive modes have markedly high diversity and plasticity, and asexual species have been hypothesized to arise frequently from sexual fungal species. A recent study on the red yeasts provides further support for the notion that sexual ancestors may give rise to shorter-lived asexual species. However, presumed asexual species may also be cryptically sexual, as revealed by other recent studies.

Hi Stefanie,
Here is how you would subscribe to product notifications using the Support Portal:
1) From the Support Portal home page (support.ibm.com) pick a product you want to follow. Just starting typing IBM Notes (or your product) in the Product lookup space.
2) At this point you are presented with a dialogue box for version of the product you want and the operating system. Both are optional.
3) Now you are on the Support Portal product page. At the top you should see the product you selected along with any version and operating system you chose.
4) Look down and locate the Tools and resources portlet or section.
5) There is an option to Subscribe to support notifications. Click on that.
6) If you are not signed in, you will have to now. If you don't have an IBM ID you can use the page landed on to register.
7) After signing in you should have been brought back to the product page. Now click on Subscribe to support notifications.
8) If you were already signed into the Support Portal Step 6 & 7 above are eliminated.
This should take of most products in IBM. If you want to be sure to get all lifecycle information for you specific you could also create an RSS feed for SW Lifecycle updates. Here's how you do that:
Steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 from above are all the same.
5) There is an option for Product support lifecycle. Click on that
6) Here you can subscribe to an RSS feed for your product
7) When you click on Subscribe via RSS to Software Support Lifecycle updates you will be taken to a page where you can refine options like frequency of updates and type.
I hope this helps!
