DC Makes Lab Operations Dicey

From the San Francisco Chronicle we learn that Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory with 6,500 employees is due to shut down due to the federal government shutdown if a DC deal isn't reached by October 21.  It is one of the labs administered in part by UC under a contract with the Dept. of Energy.  However, no shutdown plan is reported for the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
