LANL whistle blower publishes book on lab

This should make for some interesting reading over the summer, as the contract re-compete gets into full swing.

My general opinion of Chuck was that he was extremely arrogant, egotistical, and expected all his findings (while he worked in Audits/Assessments) to be addressed immediately regardless of the risk. Also, its ironic he can't speak to the amount of his monetary settlement with LANL. He loses all credibility until he comes forward (i.e. public) on this. Does he have now have something to hide?

The anti-nukes in Santa Fe will salivate over this book. To anyone who actually knows anything this is a very blatant attempt to suck money out of people who don't know anything, using innuendo and half-truths. Very blatant.

Chuck is an egomaniac. His 15 minutes of fame were up years ago.

Chuck lost much of the community's' support many years ago when he got the DOE all riled up with his claims that the "Topper Man" mural in the Los Alamos gym was showing a secret "white power" hand signal. DOE forced the mural to immediately be repainted based on Chuck's bogus complaints of racism.

There is a lot wrong with LANL. Unfortunately, Chuck Montoya was one of them. He has a rather pathetic history of crying wolf far too many times.

The book will make good fire-starter when winter returns.

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 ...
