The Los Alamos Retirement Community/LARC, Sombrillo Nursing and Rehabilitation Community and Aspen Ridge Assisted Living will celebrate National Assisted Living Week and National Appreciation Week for housekeeping, laundry and maintenance employees from Sept. 11-17.
Events throughout the week will be a special opportunity to bring together residents, families and employees to recognize the unique individuals that live at Aspen Ridge Lodge, Sombrillo Nursing and Rehabilitation Community, and the staff that deliver care every day. Events will acknowledge the bonds that are built between residents and the professionals who are committed to providing person-centered care.
The theme this year, "Keep Connected," celebrates the ways employees nurture the whole resident and build community through caring relationships and personal connections.
Assisted Living in Los Alamos, and nursing/rehabilitation community are a component of senior services. Los Alamos community citizens are invited to visit friends and loved ones who reside at the facility.
Mid-1950s crime thriller "Bad Day At Black Rock" will screen at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Mesa Public Library.
The moody Spencer Tracy classic opens "Just the Way it Happened!" (according to the tagline) as a railway train pulls into a quiet Arizona town and John J. Macreedy (Tracy) steps off. Apparently, it's the first time the train has stopped in Black Rock in a number of years, and the locals are none too happy to have a newcomer.
Macreedy can't get a cab and then is denied a hotel room, although there are clearly plenty of vacancies. He manages to rent a room only to be harassed by a man (Lee Marvin) claiming the room is his.
Macreedy encounters this attitude everywhere he goes. What are the townspeople hiding? What does Macreedy want with a man named Kumoko who was supposedly sent to a Japanese internment camp? The questions in this post-World-War-2 drama will keep audiences tense and engaged until the end.
The film was Oscar-nominated in 1956 for Best Actor (Tracy), Best Director (John Sturges), and Best Writing, Screenplay (Millard Kaufman).
Los Alamos residents Jim and Gail Little will commemorate their 60th wedding anniversary on Sunday.
Friends and family are invited to join the Littles for a vow renewal ceremony at noon at the First United Methodist Church, 715 Diamond Drive, following the regular morning worship service. The couple's three daughters, Brenda Finch, Cindy Little and Nancy Craven, will host a reception in their parents' honor from 12:30-2 p.m., in the Friendship Center at the church.
Jim and Gail Little were married Sept. 2, 1956, at the Methodist Church in Sutherland, Nebraska. The afternoon ceremony was officiated by Gail's maternal grandfather, Rev. William H. Hendrickson.
The Littles lived in Maryland, Kansas, Colorado, and Nevada before moving to Los Alamos in 1967.
Well an entire year has gone away and here we are again on the brink of another year devoted to building the Assets of our children in Los Alamos.
The month of September always kicks off the year for us. Students of all ages head back to school and we may need to be reminded how much every interaction means not just to them, but for them.
This year our Change for Change collection has a very pointed purpose. That purpose is to recognize the great things youth do all throughout the year.
Often we get busy and forget to send a card, offer a kind word or recognize a good deed.
The Community Youth Award from Champions of Youth Ambitions (C'YA) is meant to do that all year long. Our newest youth was presented her award today and you will read about it later this week. It requires adults to stop down, put pen to paper or computer to email and highlight the great things, not academic or athletic, that kids do each day.
Some of the businesses collecting change this year include; Aspen Copies, Morning Glory Bakery, The Animal Clinic of Los Alamos, The Children's Clinic, Finishing Touch and Village Arts.
The funds raised will be used to sponsor each monthly award for youth. They are presented a goodie bag with things that would bring a smile to the face of any teen. If you know a deserving youth, let us know.
Feature Film: "We are Stars" at 2 p.m. at the Nature Center. This exciting, family-friendly film connects us to the evolution of the Universe and explores the secrets of our cosmic chemistry. Cost is $6 for adults, $4 for children.

A slight cool breeze in the air means that we're headed back to school. There was clearly genius behind in the first person to suggest starting on a Thursday.
I confess, I didn't understand the logic at first, but everyone is exhausted by Friday! The students, the staff, the custodians that spent the summer putting a sheen on those floors that makes one feel like they've crossed an ice rink.
Then we get a small break and the routine begins. The day after the first day of school, I overheard someone say, "There are just 197 more to go."
There's beauty in having routine. It will be followed by football games, clubs and organizations coming back together, the homecoming game and, ah yes, fundraising.
The getting back to the grind is hard for some, so remember a dose of patience and look for positivity in everything or looking for the positivity in anything.
There's a great website called "Every Monday Matters" that offers little doses of inspiration, some suggestions for inspirational perspiration activities and more.
Thursday, as the class of 2020 enters the building at LAHS, many local parents are sending their freshmen off to college and university near and abroad.
Our second oldest son Spencer, and other locals including Bradley, Evan, Lane and Holly are headed to Eastern New Mexico University, in Portales.
This was our first child to go away to school. That time between walking that graduation stage as a 'Topper and pulling out of the driveway as we headed to Greyhound territory went very fast.
Friends would ask how I was doing with preparations and truthfully my answer was, pretending it is not happening.
As the Assets person in town, I was beyond elated when as we pulled up to Eddy Hall on campus, a band of merry makers descended upon us in music, song and overall glee. They encouraged the parents to remain in the car so they could park while they assisted the newest members of the school to their rooms – potentially 625 of them.
It was a swarm of hands and hearts as we had to make sure our own suitcase and the tools that normally stay in the vehicle weren't swept along, too.
We whispered good luck, see you soon and in a flash they were gone.

This is the time of year when secretly I may be singing to myself, Andy Williams, It's the most wonderful time of the year.
I have never been fond of heading back to school, because I enjoy being at home with my kids. However, I do enjoy seeing everyone else's children again. I miss those faces during the summer.
I remember being a first grade parent outside the door and being so excited to see everyone again.
I want to encourage everyone to start the year on a positive note. Try to find kind and encouraging words to say and start off on a positive note because it really does set the tone for the day.
If you have seventh grader or a freshman, make sure they attend the orientations planned for them at Los Alamos Middle and High School. More than 125 students and countless adults have spent many hours in leadership training to welcome them and ease their transition.
One reason I love the WEB and Link Crew programs is that they are grounded in the 40 Developmental Assets framework.
Make sure you attend open house events, meet key people, hear important information and demonstrate to your children that parent engagement matters. They to see you care, so they care too.

As he watched TV reports of violence and athletes kneeling or raising fists in silent protest during the national anthem, Indians manager Terry Francona felt a need to do more.
Something was pushing him, maybe his age, maybe a deeper belief he has a greater purpose. He's not certain.
Francona, though, decided to act.
On a trip to Chicago, he spoke to some police officers he has gotten to know over the years and Francona talked to his players to see if there was a cause they could get behind.
The Indians are donating $1-million to help troubled inner-city youth in Cleveland, a gesture the 57-year-old Francona described as one of the proudest things he has done in his career.
"All it is," he said, "is really to in some way help inner-city kids. That's really all it is, just to help. Don't care what colour, just help."
The Indians have created the Larry Doby Youth Fund, named in honour of the Hall of Famer who broke the colour barrier in the American League with Cleveland, to assist underprivileged kids in Cleveland. It's a deed that has deeply moved Francona, who won two World Series with Boston before joining the Indians, the team his father, Tito, played for from 1959-64.
Before the Indians hosted the Red Sox in Game 2 of the AL Division Series, Francona spoke passionately about the gift he hopes can make a difference to kids with little hope.
"You turn on the TV and you see so much, these kids in the inner city, they have no chance," he said. "How are they supposed to be the next generation when they're not getting an education or they're either scared to get an education or they go to school and they're afraid they're going to get shot? Somebody has to start caring about them. I don't understand it.
"It has to get better if we're going to get better."
Francona said he spoke to outfielders Coco Crisp, Rajai Davis and other players about his idea and received immediate support.
"They were like, 'That's pretty cool.' So then we got our entire team together, because that was the only way it was going to work. And every single player, every coach, every trainer, every clubhouse guy, donated. ... One thing led to another and I thought, what a way for us to be unified into doing something constructive, kind of putting our money where our mouth is."
The Indians also got donations from the front office before owner Paul Dolan kicked in the rest to get the figure to $1-million.
Francona said the money will be placed in a trust and the team is forming a committee with players and Dolan to decide where the money should go.
"In the grand scheme of things, it's small," he said. "But it's something."
When Francona first announced the trust earlier this week at the start of a news conference, he said it was difficult for him to convey the meaning of the gift because of nerves.
"I think it was the proudest moment I've had in my entire baseball life," he said.
Francona is equally proud of the way that his team willingly sacrificed for a cause that has bonded them. They are more united.
"Just the way that the guys rallied together and did it, man," he said. "That's not an easy thing to do. And it's not my place to tell guys how to spend their money. I don't think that's fair. I told them, 'Hey, there's no wrong here.' I just said I think we're in a position where we can do some good, and they were incredible. I mean incredible. Like I said, it was probably the proudest moment I've ever had."Report Typo/Error

Spring cleaning is no longer just for the cobwebs and finally organizing the garage. It is also the perfect time to get your crafting supplies organized for your next project. Rather than searching through the fabric pile for the missing bottle of glue spend a little bit of time and next time you decide to craft you will reap the rewards.
I decided to create a spot for everything and add labels (also an excuse to color labels for them with my favorite markers). For example I designated a small box as the glue or adhesive box and then put all glues, sticky stuff, and other attaching devices in the box. So now when i need something attached I just have to open my glue box and choose the one that is best for my needs.
Rather than spending unnecessary time searching for the pliers I need or the specific blue thread I will now know where things are when I need them. This will allow my crafting to be less stressful and give me more time to focus on my creativity and having fun: what crafting is all about.
So get out the labeler and get organized. Happy Crafting!


text: Ericsson demonstrates 63Mbps downlink using 3G HSDPA technology09 Jul 2014 02:28 PM Ericsson, Turkcell and Qualcomm test new 3G technology designed to provide a better experience, including at the cell edge, regardless of network loadTurkcell, Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies have successfully demoed the world's first live 3-carrier high-speed downlink packet access (3C-HSDPA) on a commercial network. While LTE coverage continues to be rolled out over the coming years, bringing with it more data capacity and higher speeds, operators still need to find ways to ensure a quality customer experience for mobile broadband. The demonstration was designed to show how that gap can be bridged using 3G HSDPA technology.The test utilized a feature that will be included in Ericsson's software release 15A and was conducted on a smartphone powered by a Qualcomm processor with its integrated Qualcomm modem. Three-carrier HSDPA is engineered to increase user speeds for downlink by up to 50% throughout the entire cell compared to single carrier, regardless of network load. The demo recorded 63Mbps downlink. The demonstration was performed in the 2.1GHz band in a WCDMA commercial network using three 5MHz carriers for downlink and two 5MHz carriers for uplink, which were all within the 2.1GHz frequency band owned by Turkcell. The trial used core network and radio access network nodes supplied by Ericsson. Bulent Elonu, chief network technology officer, Turkcell, said: "At Turkcell, Turkey's leading telecommunications and technology company, we are following global advancements closely to provide the latest technology to our customers as quickly as possible and to ensure excellent customer experience. We have been following three carrier development plans as the next step from two carrier technology for a long time. "In the past, we have offered our customers a number of innovative solutions with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies. Today, this successful demonstration enabled us to introduce another groundbreaking innovation. Data download using three carriers has been tested for the first time on a network globally. We are proud that Turkcell has successfully hosted the first global testing of this promising future technology," said Elonu.Turkcell currently has a dual-carrier HSDPA network supporting speeds of up to 43.2Mbps in downlink, and has 5.76Mbps in uplink.Ziya Erdem, Ericsson Turkey general manager, said: "In recent years we are experiencing a paradigm shift in the telecommunications world. In this context, application coverage and improving end user experience become our focal points. In cooperation with Turkcell, one of Europe's leading operators, and Qualcomm Technologies, one of the leading chipset manufacturers, we have tested three carrier data download and also two carrier data upload technologies for the first time in the world. "These technologies will enable Turkcell customers to access their desired mobile applications with even greater ease, and carry end user experience to new heights."Baris Ruacan, country manager of Qualcomm Turkey, added: "Qualcomm Technologies is committed to taking the broadband mobile internet experience to new levels, which 3C-HSDPA and DC-HSUPA technologies enable. Continuous investment in R&D by Qualcomm Technologies in this space allows us to provide superior mobile experiences for consumers in Turkey." 3C-HSDPA3C-HSDPA is designed to allow simultaneous downlink transmissions on up to three 5MHz carriers to a single user. It supports both single-band transmission where the 3 carriers reside in the same frequency band and dual-band transmissions where the 3 carriers are spread across two frequency band. The demonstration also included enhanced uplink multi-carrier (EUL-MC), an Ericsson software release 14B feature, which increases uplink speeds by up to 100%. During the demo, uplink speed improvements of 100% were recorded. EUL-MC is designed to allow simultaneous uplink transmissions on two 5MHz carriers to a single user offering peak rates of up to 11.5Mbps and up to 100% gain in user speed. This gain is present regardless of load conditions and in the entire network - both cell-centre and cell-edge.3C-HSDPA and EUL-MC are the next steps in HSPA multi-carrier evolution, a promising technology for app coverage. Using software upgrades, multi-carrier is designed to increase capacity, increase peak rates and improve app coverage substantially. Both these technologies are major steps in improving the mobile broadband experience for users and they are anticipated to be commercially available in devices during the second half of 2014.

Attendance and Punctuality
Attendance and punctuality are required. Plan to attend all course meetings. Please contact me in advance if you won't be able to make it to a class due to an unavoidable conflict or medical emergency. Class starts on time, so please make every effort to arrive on time. Students with multiple unexcused absences and/or persistent lateness risk failing the course.
This course may only be taken S/NC. Student performance will be assessed in four areas:
- Quality of production work;
- Relevance of production work to the concepts explored in the course;
- Active participation in class meetings demonstrating critical engagement with course material (readings, screenings, art works);
- Attendance and punctuality.
A Note on Technical Skills
The emphasis in this course is not on technical mastery but on understanding new media technologies as tools and sites for creative cultural practice. Some students will come to the course with advanced new media production skills, others with very limited skills. This is OK! Advanced skills are not necessarily needed in order to make advanced art. Keith Obadike's Blackness for Sale and Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries' work are two examples of successful and influential new media art that required limited technological skill to produce. What makes these projects effective is, among other things, their conceptual deftness, the effectiveness with which they use relatively simple tools, and strength of their artistic voices.
New media technologies are so numerous and complex, and they are changing so quickly, that keeping up can be a sisyphean task. The most important tech skills you can learn are: how to teach yourself what you need to know in order to realize your ideas; how to find ways to realize your ideas given the skills and resources you reasonably can acquire; and how to partner or collaborate with others who have skills you need but don't have and don't want to acquire yourself. That said, there is no substitute for learning by doing. We will organize workshops on key skills, teach one another as we learn, and strive throughout to maintain a playful and experimental attitude toward the technologies we use.

I don't live where you do but I do have some advice that might help. You should try looking for mommies and me play dates where you live. Or go to church events that have a daycare for the kids. Child friendly friends you have to go and find. If your just waiting for them to come along. You will go crazy wait for them to show up.

Lisa Stickan, the Chairman of the Young Republican National Federation released the following statement:
Tonight, Mitt Romney demonstrated that he is ready to lead our country and deliver the change necessary to fix our economy. He articulated a vision of smaller government getting out of the way of business so that it can deliver the growth that our economy so desperately needs. By contrast, Barack Obama offered no vision and no plans beyond his already failed policy. Tonight, the American people were able to see a contrast between a leader in Mitt Romney with a real vision, ready to fight for all of us, and a tired incumbent with no plan and no vision, offering us more of the same. This is why young people and all Americans will elect Mitt Romney in November, and why the Young Republicans will be fighting to elect Mitt Romney and Republcians throughout the country between now and election day.

Apple is no stranger to being copied. HTC is the latest to take what works at Silicon Valley and make it their own.
The latest version of the HTC phone, known as the "Aero," looks exactly like the iPhone 6, and consumers and critics alike are noticing the ripoff.
The cell phone marketplace, and it certainly is no secret, belongs to the iPhone and Androids, but HTC, although they make a decent to good phone, isn't in that category with the others. In fact, they're not close and a lot of that comes from a lack of marketing dollars that would be considered comparable.
Apple undoubtedly is flattered by the move, since the company hasn't exactly been the progressive leader and champion of originality. Lately, the Android, specifically the Samsung Galaxy line of phones, have seemingly been one step ahead of Apple and every other cell phone company.
And that has resulted in Apple losing a little bit of its luster in comparison to what Samsung has been able to do recently, what with everything from initially trotting out larger screens to having a curved screen or virtually everything else in the cell phone market that would be considered new.

"We've thrown around the concept of opening for the Stones forever," singer Ronnie Dunn said Tuesday. "I can't believe we're doing it."
When the duo got word of the invitation from their manager, they were told not to call or tell anyone until it was final.
"Of course, we started calling our friends as fast as we could as soon as we walked out of the room," he said.
Though billed as the world's greatest rock and roll band, the Stones have drawn from country music over much of their storied career. Their early 1970s albums Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street, in particular, had strong country influences often attributed to Keith Richards' friendship with Gram Parsons of the Flying Burrito Brothers and previously of The Byrds.
Over the years, Richards has worked with George Jones and Willie Nelson, and the Stones — individually or collectively — have covered songs by Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, the Everly Brothers and others.
Country artists in turn recorded a tribute to the Rolling Stones in 1997 called Stone Country, which had artists like Tracy Lawrence singing Paint It Black, Sammy Kershaw Angie and Colin Raye Brown Sugar.
Like many country performers, Kix Brooks said he and Dunn grew up listening to the Stones and performing their songs. Between them, they've seen the group in concert nearly a dozen times.
"We were influenced by classic country acts like Merle Haggard and George Jones and Hank Williams but also by Clapton and the Stones and all the rock acts like that," Brooks said. "I mean, what guitar player didn't start out with Satisfaction ?"
The roots rock influence is apparent in Brooks & Dunn's music, especially their recent albums. The songs are soulful, with slide guitar, horns, organ and soaring gospel choruses. Alongside straight ahead country numbers are songs that echo artists like Leon Russell, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynyrd and vintage Stones.
"I'm sure we've gotten as close to their licks as we can without ripping them off," joked Brooks.
The nod to '70s rock and soul is deliberate. After studying theology at Abilene Christian College in Texas, Dunn moved to Tulsa, where Russell's Shelter Records was based, and artists such as J.J. Cale, The Gap Band and, occasionally, Clapton visited or recorded.
"I soaked up all that stuff," Dunn said.
By opening for the Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn become an instant trivia question for obsessive Stones fans. The group's opening act announcements can be as anticipated as their set lists, with everyone from Metallica to the Black-Eyed Peas to Beck warming up the crowd in recent years.
Other than shortening their act to fit the opening slot, Brooks said the duo won't change much on Jan. 29.
"I don't think we should try to do what the Stones do," Brooks said. "Hopefully, it will be the best of what we do."
