Judge rules against NSTec and Honeywell in Leidos case

As expected, this was over fast and went against the intervention. Next up is likely to be the Court ruling against DoE and in favor of Leidos.

"Contractor teams looking to plead their cases on a contract dispute between Leidos Holdings Inc. (NYSE: LDOS) and the Department of Energy won’t be able to, with a federal court denying their motions to intervene last Thursday, according to court documents filed Tuesday.

Court of Federal Claims Judge Loren Smith ruled that the contractor teams looking to get in on the dispute “have no real interest in this dispute, as 'interest' is legally understood,” according to court documents."

Someone here either loves Leidos or hates NNSA.

Or, it could have been decided on the legal merits. Imagine.

Well everyone hates NNSA so that does not narrow it down very much, so I would guess a Leidos lover.

The decision had nothing to do with the Leidos protest. It was a narrow ruling addressing the standing of other bidders to intervene in the case (effectively allowing them to support the Department of Justice with free legal services). Because the case centers on the rescission of the contract, the judge ruled that the other bidders do not have standing.

False, this meant that DOE was wrong and Leidos should get the contract plus extra money for any inconvenience. This is how I want to see it, this is how I need to see it, and this this how I will see it. I have no interest in reality and do not recognize it's authority. I have my vision of the world and that is that.

SO you obviously realize that your vision isn't real.

My guess: NNSA wanted to award the contract to the LLC now owned by Leidos, knowing that ownership had changed or was in the process of changing. Then one of the other bidders threatened to sue because they found out that Lockheed did not follow the official notification rules. NNSA rescinded the award because their lawyers told them to, Leidos sued, NSTEC and Honeywell sued, and now it's in the courts. But NNSA still wants to award the contract to Leidos as the best of the "anyone but NSTEC" crowd.

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 ...
