ATLANTA -- A federal judge ignored a former Coca-Cola secretary's plea for mercy Wednesday and sentenced her to eight years in prison for conspiring to steal trade secrets from the world's largest beverage maker.

Interesting, and disturbing, juxtaposition.
Come on, that was probably 20 to 30 year old coke. Not the really good new stuff. She probably was overworked and took it home to drink.
Pinko -
More like *80* year old Coke!
The Coke "Swastika" is from the 20s and apparently had no Nazi Party implications at the time, but with this new story, what an apropos symbol for this current vengeful response.
After the New-Coke/Pepsi wars of the (late?) 80s, I think everyone implicitly understands that branding and marketing and a lot of other things may matter much more than the specific formula. With modern mass spectrometry (and many other sophisticated, if blunt techniques), it seems highly unlikely that a rival company cannot reproduce the taste of Coca Cola without stealing the formula.
JQ was clearly ignorant and foolish about her work and her security responsibilities, but it doesn't seem she was pre-meditating anything. She was (apparently) not "stealing" secrets nor was she deliberately trying to cause a security incident to smear our names.
While punishing her seems necessary in the scheme of things, the real tragedy in my mind is that nobody around her noticed she didn't understand the importance of what she was doing. I hold her supervisors during that period much more accountable in some sense. And to those who question the clearance process, I have to agree to some extent, though nothing about the clearance process I see really selects for good common sense, I think that is assumed to be the responsibility for the hiring and supervising authorities.

Come on Darko, let go of the bleeding heart. How can someone take classified documents out of the barbed-wire fence, and purposefully download classified to a thumb drive, and you say it's not premeditated. The meth whore knew exactly what she was doing and she knew it was wrong. There is a big difference between a mistake and willful misconduct. JQ should deserved some serious jail time. The message this sends is very unhealthy. Either classified information is important or it's not. There is no grey area here. Until we have accountability, we will continue to have egregious conduct.
I don't get it. When I got my Q, I actually paid attention and understood the basic rule of "don't take stuff out of the fence that doesn't belong outside the fence." We're not talking brain surgery here - heck, operating a scanner is a harder task than understanding that documents with big red markings don't go outside. What could possibly justify defending someone who couldn't comprehend one of the most basic facts about those little blue badges? It's not that hard. All this proves is that she's an idiot, yet isn't being treated as if she did anything that serious. What sort of example does this set? This is highly irritating - DOE and LANL are subjecting us to aggressive tests (urine, polygraph), yet clearly if we pass both yet blatantly violate the basic rules of having a clearance, very little punishment is imposed? Uhm. You'd think the penalty for actually transporting material outside the fence would be stiffer than doing some drug yet not potentially damaging national security.
Bottom line: the Quintana case makes no sense.
Anyone read Calvin's profile? A 21 year old postdoc? Really? He's a genius! Or a liar. In any case, he certainly has a way with word.
Could he be a genius and a liar?
Maybe he's just having some fun with us.
Maybe he's Mike Anastasio!
On the other blogs, there have been questions to the effect of "Where's Calvin?" various speculations have been posited and bandied.... my response?
Nah...
I'll bet Calvin's just a lazy little twit that would rather spend his days on his life's work, and his nights in the outdoors playing and chasing "the girls of summer".
Actually sounds like a good plan to me!
As for May 27 and June 4. Sure, string her up by her short hairs at the entry gate for eternity. That might make a good example of her for "being an idiot". I don't doubt she is "an idiot" of some sort. What I'm calling for is some responsibility for her co-workers (and especially supervisors).
While she may be guilty as hell of willful misconduct and as you say "idiocy", she wasn't alone in this and using (I don't say "making" since she is apparently quite guilty) her as a scapegoat serves to do little more than satisfy your dark little vengeful hearts and to draw attention AWAY from all of the others who might have been complicit and from the procedures that might be faulty and from the environment under which they were being exercised.
Just a thought. But go ahead, string her up, I'm sure that will really solve the problem all by itself. It might even get Dingle and Stupak off our back (hah!). Maybe POGO and LASG will turn their attentions elsewhere (hah!)
Not!

This conclusion leads us that there is elephantine hot after English-speaking tutors, who are specializing in teaching English.
