Stuart Kelter interviews Wladimir Lyra, an astronomer at New Mexico State University whose research focuses around high-end computer simulations of planet formation, both in our own solar system and beyond, i.e., exoplanets and their solar systems. In today’s interview we’ll be focusing mainly on the theory of the Big Bang, black holes, and the possible implications of new observational data recently made available by the powerful James Webb Space Telescope.
I love democracy … the purer the better. And so, I‘ve always been a big fan of the referendum process, which allows citizens to circumvent the representative system and take their issue directly to the voters.
The angriest I’ve ever been with the Las Cruces City Council was in 2014 when they relied on slimy legal tricks to stop a successful effort to use the referendum process to raise the minimum wage. I had mixed feelings about the wage, but my feelings about City Councils’ maneuvering were anything but mixed. Richard and Peter talk to Jennifer Garcia Kozlowski (Executive Director, Las Cruces Downtown Partnership) and Susan Cabello (Director of the Las Cruces Arts and Cultural District) about, well, plans for downtown.
Richard and Peter speak with Brandie White, Mesilla Valley CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) and Lauren Ross, a board member.

Today we speak with James Hurst of Spectrum Technologies on a few aspects of the global Cyber Security arms race. James explains of some of the real-time impacts of cyber-attacks like Ransomware when directed at individuals, corporations and organizations, including public school systems and municipal systems. In many cases, including in New Mexico, private companies and public systems can collectively pay out millions of dollars in ransom, lose critical information, access to system functions, and often have to replace extensive and expensive IT hardware systems. James offers up some good basic defense mechanisms we can use, and points to more complex and comprehensive security measures.
