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...

Remember when the husband of the deputy director was caught billing the lab for the time he had spent enjoying the Santa Fe Opera? Remember all the ethics training you had to take in the aftermath?

Several other former employees and independent contractors of PodcastOne also say that Pattiz’s remarks about women’s bodies or looks sometimes made them uncomfortable. One woman, 23-year-old Ji Min Park, said she left the company in August after a year in large part because of too many sexually inappropriate comments.
At other times, Park said, Pattiz didn’t seem to understand that his remarks were offensive. He once joked that if he left his wife for her, she could have her name on a recording studio, she said.
He also told her in front of others that she looked like a schoolgirl and then said he’d watched “too many videos” featuring schoolgirls. She and others assumed he was talking about porn.
“Everyone was stunned, and I walked away,” Park said.
Some months ago, she said, he told her she was the “hottest Asian” he’d ever seen and said, “If I wasn’t married, I’d be chasing you down a hallway right now.“
Raymond Hernandez, who worked as a producer at PodcastOne for two years before he was laid off in July, said he frequently witnessed Pattiz making comments about women’s breasts and bodies. He said he was shocked when Pattiz walked up to employees several months ago and asked if anyone wanted to see revealing photos of a PodcastOne female executive on his phone.

Good to know.
Once Prince Charmingly starts warming up the charm he's as foolish a sight as a poor beast can be. An old one must be a laughingstock.
When I was courting, I often cringed at my own blundering foolishness. Fortunately my wife to be took mercy on me with some kind bemusement.
So the law's the law and potent chemistry, the Bolt, can enfoolish the most sober victim.
I don't recall ever asking. And still friends with dozens I've nuzzled. You too?
