Well in an alternate universe, that works out to about; each of the 50 states - plus DC, Guam, PR, Virgin Isles - getting two national labs the size of LLNL... or the funding of several NASA missions to both the moon and mars all by 2015... or giving every kid in the US, health care and four years at the college of their choice... or building a laser fusion research demonstration power plant 50 times the size of NIF ... or...

Interesting that McCain didn't vote. He's a lame duck already as he knows he damned if does and damned if he doesn't!

It will be Obama but I sure as heck hope Hillary isn't the VP. An interesting letter to the editor appeared, one that I already figured out in advance from the day she opened her mouth.

So that's why Hillary wants to be VP

Hillary has revealed her grand plan to win the nomination and it's a doozy. She'll continue running even though she has no chance of winning, and she'll casually mention assassinations a few times, implying that if someone would just assassinate Sen. Barack Obama (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), why she'd just happen to be available to, sadly and with a great deal of grief, grudgingly take up the mantle of her fallen rival.

Wow! This is enough to make even Slick Willie blush.

Why any uncommitted superdelegates don't wash their hands of Ms. Clinton and rush to endorse Obama after hearing this latest outrage is totally beyond me.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were. Count the number that LLNLs mangers use.  touch base circle back bandwidth - impactful - utilize - table the discussion deep dive - engagement - viral value-add - one-sheet deliverable - work product - incentivise - take it to the ...
