Where is the gun?

It has been a week since a LANL guard lost their gun and the search goes on. Where could it be?

Let's just remember that the security officers are not LANL but SOC. Thanks to privatization, everything now is run by some company. This is what you get, when you think private companies can do it better.

This (privatization of the security force at LANL) predates by many years the transition from UC to LANS. Don't blame it on Bechtel.

I would prefer to see them close LLNL and ship all the work and the people to NM by the end of 2014.

You might want to "invest" in a "better" congressional delegation!

Could you please point out to me where in my comment on November 8, 2013 at 5:32 PM I blamed Bechtel?
Does functional illiteracy ring a bell?

My guess is however that you must be from Bechtel, otherwise why would you be so defensive?

I wonder where LLNL is going get the chemo for LANL's cancer.

They won't get it and they will die from it. As is fitting. However, LANL will survive, as it always does.

Have the police looked in Jessica Quintana's trailer, next to the drugs? That's where they found the big batch of classified material a few years ago.

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.

tcp1 looking good

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...
