I would rather see this kind of news than the unprofessional bickering which dominates the blog.

You were under the impression that this is a professional blog populated by professional lab people? Wrong.

Actually, its mostly populated by concerned lab employees and Lab retirees. Do you think a blog like this would last as long as it has if the LLNS LLC over these many years were not a catalyst for its continuation? If want to read articles about solar go to the web for such publications. If want to read about programmatic activities at LLNL, read the Newsline. Or if you wish, you can submit your opinions and concerns as a Lab employee worry free in the LLNL Newsline "letters to the editor". HaHa.

If you have any data supporting that, provide it. I don't believe it for a second, unless lab employees and retirees have somehow all become illiterate, psychotic, and just plain dumb.

You a blog commenter yourself being a clear exception to your negative evaluation of all others of course. Thanks for the educational moment. Be nice.

Let's hope that the research pans out. But I have two concerns if it does:

1. The US taxpayers fund the research and China gets it for free.
2. In order to keep manufacturing costs to an absolute minimum, we ship the manufacturing to China.

If you want control over your own destiny, keep it in your own hands.

In case you have not been to University STEM department or a DOE lab let me fill you in, all STEM scientist, podocs and graduate students are already from China. So if they do they work they should get the tech.

Most solar panels and wind turbine blades are already made in China, with huge carbon footprints.

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.

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...

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 ...
