It is just the day in and day out safety and security issues at LANL that keep on coming.

Insignificant. Unfortunate but not unexpected in the confusing, often imprecise world of classification. People trying but failing to follow complex practices is different than treason.

Fix it. Move on.

Wow! Would hate to see what 7:46 PM calls 'significant.' No reasonable person in the area would call repeated release of classified information 'not unexpected.' The investigation found that LANL had numerous such lapses. Therefore commonplace for LANL; however, hardly 'insignificant.'

Yeah, well, no one held accountable, the guy got to retire at full pension, no questions asked. Obviously LANS and NNSA think it is "insignificant."

Errors happen. Overall, Dan probably made fewer than most.

Errors happen. But when they do, they should be reported, not covered up by lying, by deleting files, and by bypassing the proper clean-up procedures. Its all in the report. And, management knew he was doing this and continued to let him hold the Classification Officer position.

Yeah, or by hiding them (i.e. hard disk) behind a copier in X-division in the old Administration Building.

Nobody "hid" a hard disk behind the copy machine. Get your facts straight.

Ok, it was "placed" behind a copier for everyone to find it.

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 ...
