Time to actually do something

Can some update update this LANL page? The following are incorrect or out of date: LANL's mission, logo, science pillars, and most of the numbers in the "Institutional statistics" section. The correct numbers are on the Lab's linked 'facts and figures' page. 15:26, 8 Jun 2022 (MST)

If no one objects, I'm going to remove the mentioned section tonight. There was some discussion of this the better part of a year ago, but nothing was done. Maury 13:05, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Missing topics

I added a "missing" tag as a range of pertinent topics were not adequately covered in this article:

Activities of peace advocates. See "Peace activists descend on Los Alamos, but residents remain indifferent", New York Times, 2015; "Hiroshima Los Alamos protest planned", Washington Times, 2014.

Wildfire. See "LANL under siege from raging wildfire" The Telegraph, 2011.

James Doyle. See "Did Los Alamos fire a researcher for questioning U.S. nuclear doctrine?" LA Times, 2014.

General topics. See "In the shadow of Los Alamos", American Scientist, 2007; Joseph Masco, The Nuclear Borderlands: The Manhattan Project in Post-Cold War New Mexico, Princeton University Press, 2006. Johnfos (talk)

In the press somewhere

I am not paid. For UN weapons inspectors.

"So Ra social memory complex has been averaging Texas State Troopers and federal agents as material. This is not a problem for me on any actual basis. As you head towards the border, these people gain polarity in their averaging. I am willing to let that polarity hit levels that exceed Agent Smith. I am not going to take credit for the border crisis due to this averaging, but the Texas Governor is certainly hailed by Ra social memory complex and some of the most intelligent parts of Creation. Only because I refuse to learn Spanish from Mexico against my genetic predispositions. I don't care if you send paddy wagons south of me. It isn't my problem. Somebody wants it to be my problem. But my business is always public record as here.

I am letting you know the Sun is hailing police south of me to increase enforcement action. I don't care. The police have always been the Sun. Just know it will give badges to anyone as reserve police or Agent Smith if need be.

I have done my paperwork here.

RA SMC HAILS WHY TEXAS RANGERS GHOSTS STORING OUR POLARITY FOR WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR OVER A CENTURY IN OUR COMPLEX :)

Police are universal retrieval agents. A posse can extend across dimensions.
