Bogus HSPD-12 thing at NASA

This HSPD-12 thing at NASA is really bogus.

see:

Note that the solicitor general made an, err, "mistatement" which he
does not intend to retract.

The student's story at the top would be funny were it not so sad.
These things are not just happening in DOE. It's good to see the NASA
employees are taking NASA to court.

The link involves a barely coherent blog story about what badges are valid where in the NASA arena. Has absolutely nothing to do with HSPD-12 except as an example of how many people have no clue what HSPD-12 actually says and whose rule it is (not NASA's). Lots of (sometimes intentional) misunderstanding here. Do your homework on HSPD-12 before you fly off the handle, or at least try to fly off the handle at the right folks.

I'm trying and failing to understand your barely coherent response to what you claim is a barely coherent blog story.

Some NASA employees clearly have a clue about HSPD-12, given that there is a lawsuit aimed at stopping its application to NASA employees because of what they see as unnecessary intrusion into their lives.

So what is your point here? Do you feel that the NASA employees are in the wrong? Do you think the USG is justified in imposing these regulations on NASA employees?

It's not just NASA. HSPD-12 applies to all federal agencies and contractors. (HSPD = Homeland Security Presidential Directive.) Why should NASA be the exception? LANL and LLNL are also struggling over how to implement this. There are timelines and required milestones, and no one is supplying money. Talk to someone from your personnel security department to find out what is going on.

Why should NASA employees be the exception? Simple: they're fighting it. And, if they win, they've earned the right to be an exception. I hope they win.

So, if you decide to complain about something that affects everyone, that makes you eligible to be excused from it? Yeah, that worked really well in first grade. Did you learn then that it should work now? If so, turn in your grade school diploma as bogus.

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.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
