It's good to have a full list of facilities that we can mull over when thinking about which ones to cut funding to.

Curious that for his first big meeting with the Labs he picked ORNL to host.

Would not call it "curious", but would say that it is quickly sending a very loud and very public message about the relative importance of various parts of DoE to the new Secretary.

Now that most of Tennessee is gentrified and most have a full set of teeth, ornl can be put forward as a modern post-prohibition lab.

They still have to do something about the rope belts before they can invite city slickers over fer a hoe down.

They better remove possum and squirrel off of the cafeteria menu. Mcmillan's refined California palatte can't handle such backwards nonsense.

Another waste of the taxpayers money with a bunch of "suits" slapping each other on the backs for "a job well done".

I'm surprised they also didn't invite all the former and future Lab Directors. Anastasio and Knapp never "turned down free food and wine".

Yeah, I'll never forget that Anastasio made a guest appearance at the Service Award Ceremony for those with 25-years or more of service. At the end of the ceremony, there he was, Anastasio, first in line for food. What a disgrace! The guy is nothing more than a Staten Island "con artist".

100 percent of LANS managers drank Kool Aid in 3rd grade.

No worries! Norm Pattiz will fly in fresh caviar and a case of the best champagne in the world for McMillan; for a job "well done".

Who in the hell is paying for this extravagant junket? IRS get's caught on a similar junket and these guys just thumb their noses to this, what a bunch of cocky bastards.

It's only a junket if the low level masses of mindless drone employees attend. Since the lab directors are invited to the hoe down it's not so bad. Plus it's oak ridge, guys. You can't have a junket to oak ridge. That is what you call punishment.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
