The Department of Homeland Security has disclosed that it will be monitoring the comments and posts on websites and social media like Twitter for information on possible terror threats.

To DHS: No terrorist threats on this blog. Just bad LANL (and LLNL) management coming to light.

Monitor away bozo's. The last thing you should ever do is allow the government to instill fears so as to shut anyone up. Have a good time trying fools.

Neither DHS nor the entire US government has enough people to do this without automation. They'll structure the software such that the number of "positives" requiring actual human review falls within their manpower capabilities, which means of course that "false negatives" will prevail, and we'll be no safer than before. Makes a good sound bite, though.

No need for DHS to closely monitor this blog. That work is already being done by NNSA and LLNS.

The question is, will they listen and learn anything. I doubt it very much especially after I saw the article about the labs will no longer be bid out and paying $80M plus to LLNS is better then paying $8M to UC. Can you say, "bad case of cranium rectum inversion".

So DHS, a bureaucracy cobbled together after a terrorist attack will monitor the complaints of folks about a NNSA site (NNSA cobbled together after series of security and safety incidences) which is a subsidiary of the DOE, a bureaucracy cobbled to together after the oil embargo.

I am sure that they will bring all the expertise to the table that DOE and NNSA have used to run the nuclear weapons complex.

It's better to be lucky than talented because red tape trumps talent any day of the week. And twice on Sunday.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
