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...

I wouldn't worry too much about a freeze-out, however, because by the time they get around to it they'll probably be squeezing employees for 20% contributions just to keep the pensions afloat.

If you're staying around just for the pension, then consider what a freeze-out of the pension might do to your future plans.
Not for long bubba. I wouldn't get so confie my friend.
Doesn't that make you want to vote in the poll on the right of ther home page. I guess only 22 people out of 7000 are dis satisfied with their TCP-1 choice after being lied to. Clearly defines what I already knew about the common person al LLNL. I can only assume they want ULM to understand it's okay to be told false information or no information at all aka the truth.
Not true. It WAS overfunded, valued as of Sept 30, 2007. It is not 2007 anymore. The stock market has tanked. The subprime market has brought down entire hedge funds and even Bear Stearns. No, I can safely bet you no longer have 166& funding. Pray for 100%. The mess isn't over yet either, as there are still a lot of banks to fail. Why do you think the government is hiring bank failure specialists like crazy? For a summer picnic?
