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...

Tis true. The banks didn't let their free market principles get in the way of slurping Fed money from a fire hose. Yet modifying mortgages terms, well hey, there's all that paperwork to do and they promise to get to it after the bonus parties.
The banks and the American tax payers owe you NOTHING, you signed on the dotted line for $XXX,XXX and YOU should be heard accountable for making the payment. If you miss one payment you should be thrown in the streets but only after they take you house, your cars, boats, bikes and any funds in the bank to pay what you owe and then your credit should be ruined for at least seven years to the point where not a single lender would talk to you. Oh and ALL of your credit cards should be canceled and not be able to get one for that same seven years. That's called being responsible for what you signed up for. I have no sympathy for freeloader parasite this new world order society seems to be full of. Can't wait until the games over and the rules change for the good instead of this liberal BS CHANGE some fools vote for.
Right on, I too am tired of paying for social program that support the no loads of this country and the world.
???????
Am I missing something here?
Isn't it time to begin thinking about shutting down this blog, too? It's clear that NNSA and LLNS have won the battle. Why continue any longer with this charade? It's a useless effort that amounts to nothing.
For those not interested in quiting.
The blog should never shut down. That's what DOE/LLNS and NNSA want. They don't want the truth of how they operate disclosed to the public or get out to any new hires that may be considering working for LLNL. It would be a crime to allow this place to become one big secret from society or the new work force. It's bad enough this blog is moderated and censored, we can't afford to lose this blog entirely.
Sorry Bud! This BLOG will continue to be moderated (not censored because I don't judge according to my beliefs but according to BLOG rules).
I removed the moderation for a couple of days last year: bad results!
Note to 8:40: The public and the press (and Congress and Dr. Chu and many, many others) don't care about what is happening at LLNL and LANL. That's the bitter truth, but the sooner you accept that truth, the sooner you can get on with your career.
As far as new hires go, given this dreadful economy, the NNSA labs will likely have no problems hiring young, bright staff no matter how badly they decide to treat them.
