Unm dude, 6 years is like ancient history. Take your tea-baggery to your own LANL blog. Oh you don't even know what that term means huh you old fart. You and other know-nothing-say-nothing are at the receiving end of getting tea-bagged on a daily basis for your irrelevance. Heck, you probably enjoy getting tea-bagged. You are the Costco reject carpet to be walked on and thrown away. Like, get an education, mister tea-bag.

The worst these LANL losers can say about Bret Knapp is that he drives an expensive car and that he goes to California. And they keep saying it over and over like a broken record. The guy is LANL topic. Take it to your own rant blogs.

They are just unhappy that they are getting tea-bagged by Charlie and Bret.

Someone is in love with himself for discovering that the term "tea bag" has a semi-disgusting definition in one context. Congratulations. You probably don't feel smart very often.

In case you haven't been paying attention to anything other than your pathetic EOS data, this IS our rant blog. We usurped it years ago, in exchange for LASL designs and other good stuff!

I do love this blog! And especially this thread. What starts out as "Happy New Year, I hope 2013 will bring a more positive outlook, a fresh attitude of tolerance and optimism to everyone.
Together, let us uses this BLOG more constructively!" degenerates to the same old stuff within 15 posts.

To return to the main point: Thanks, Scooby. I'll do what I can to make your hope come to pass.

There are a number of topics in the pipeline that will generate high quality (and extremely painful from the pov of LLNL management) technical discussions. So hope is not lost regarding things degenerating. It is just a matter of time for these topics to come to the forefront after LLNL and NNSA make their "moves."

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.

tcp1 looking good

By scooby
I just received my annual TCP-1 letter from LLNS and a summary of the LLNS Pension Plan. Looked in pretty good shape in 2013. About 35% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 134.92%). This was a decrease from 2012 where it was 51% overfunded (funding target attainment percentage = 151.59%). They did note that the 2012 change in the law on how liabilities are calculated using interest rates improved the plan's position. Without the change the funding target attainment percentages would have been 118% (2012) and 105% (2013). 2013 assets = $2,057,866,902 2013 liabilities = $1,525,162,784 vs 2012 assets = $1,844,924,947 2012 liabilities = $1,217,043,150 It was also noted that a slightly different calculation method ("fair market value") designed to show a clearer picture of the plan' status as December 31, 2013 had; Assets = $2,403,098,433 Liabilities = $2,068,984,256 Funding ratio = 116.15% Its a closed plan with 3,781 participants. Of that number, 3,151 wer...
