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!

Los Alamos, NM – Los Alamos County officials are reporting the fire is now threatening Los Alamos. They are ordering a mandatory evacuation which will begin and proceed in this order: Group 1: Western, Quemazon, Ponderosa; Group 2: North Community, Barranca Mesa, North Mesa; Group 3: East of Diamond and the remainder of the town site. White Rock is NOT being evacuated at this time. Residents in Los Alamos should NOT go to White Rock to stay in case it is later evacuated.
It raced toward the town site covering over 8 miles during only 24 hours. I have never seen a wildfire grow so large so quickly!
This doesn't look good. If we get any strong S-SW winds, the town may be lost to the fire.

I saw Knapp speeding home one Friday evening in his Porsche Cayenne shaking his fist at a slow old man. Mr. invincible even looked old and haggard. Poor fools never read the story of King Midas.
Lot's of inaccuracies in these POGO claims, however, the poor Time readers will never know it:

What was inaccurate? The man is entitled to his opinion. I do notice that MacMillan and Terry really do downplay the risks when interviewed. I guess I'm, getting tired of hearing that there is "nothing but gloves" in the TRUPAC shipments to WIPP. It's really insulting for those of us that work on the WDP at Area G to hear those kind of "elementary" descriptions of the work we do.
Employees will likely use "report pay" for time & effort, but where will the real money come from to pay the salaries over all this time?

Pattiz is going to pay for it out his bank account. Incidentally, did anyone take notice that Pattiz was completely "absent" during the fire? I mean not even a whisper. Not surprising!
Unlike with the Cerro Grande fire, it looks like LANL is going to get little financial help from NNSA for this one.
Figures.
