And the bad news just keeps on coming. Poor Charlie. Another IG report on LANL on his watch. How much more can he take?

No amount of lawsuits will help LANS manage LANL. It looks as if though this is another failed attempt to operate LANL. Nice try LANS....but it's not working out.

If this report is not a work of fiction, there is some explaining to be done over more than 400 million in cost spread over several years. A million here and a million there, pretty soon you are talking about real money. This sure looks like real money.

LANS will simply cover these cost by raising the already high overhead taxes on staff labor rates by 2000%.

Problem solved.

What a little over $400 million in illegal expenditures among friends, huh? Besides, everyone knows that building contractors like Bechtel like to "pad" their costs estimates a bit.... sorta like they did with the now canceled CMRR.

Unallowable Costs??,, what really is `unallowable'?..this is possibly just a big misunderstanding among friends. A dozen roses, bottle of nice wine, quiet dinner, and we can all work this out.

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.

Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem

By scooby
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 ...
