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...

A student at a reputable college or university with an academic achievement of 60% would not be eligible for retention in college and/or graduation. It would result in an F.
But at LANL, 60% meets the leadership criterion. 60% should have resulted in a does not meet. Gee, if that's all it makes to make the leadership grade at LANL, then all the whining and complaints about the LANS managers being C students was almost right, just a whole lot worse.
I think it means a big fat F. As in failure. And now NNSA has confirmed it in writing. No wonder LANS did not want this evaluation to be reported.
So fellow Labbie's, the next time a LANS manager harasses you because YOU DO KNOW MORE THAN THE MANAGER, try to refrain from smirking, rolling your eyes, clearing your throat, etc. etc.
Now you know the rest of the story.
Agreed Sandia Corp is 100 to 1000 times bigger, more complex, subtle, elegant, and intricate that some cesspool like LLNL. It may be not be legally criminal but if there was a God he/she would be offended that humans have sunk such low levels to compare the magistracy, historical significance, and impact of Sandia to the non-entities that are LANL and LLNL. I have to say that some of the posters on this blog have to on par with the worlds greatest thinkers, from now on 9:22 AM should be referred to as the short bus Socrates or SBS. I can just picture SBS, unemployed and being forced to use the public library ssh connections just so he can get access to the blog to share his dialogues on how LLNL and LANL must suck. True genius, brilliance and clarity of thought. 9:22 AM you are a effing gift to the world, thank you so much for your wisdom wit, and insight, that made sooo much sense that it just boggles the mind. Please do whatever you can to keep your access to the web so that we may be graced wit your wisdom.
