I was driving up Rt 7 today and passed the old Hazelton Lab's location where I took my first job out of college. It is all knocked down and abandoned. They could have left the barn up. It was sad. I have some really fun times there in the late 80's. Anyone else here work there?

Yeah I did a couple shifts at the Ebola factory.

Oh, we ALL worked there, numbnuts. And we all wonder why dimbulbs of a certain sort keep bringing the place up over and over and over again . Fucking morons.

For decades, the gray industrial laboratory complex off of Leesburg Pike attracted animal rights activists calling for an end to the testing of drugs, cosmetics, pesticides and other chemicals on monkeys and dogs kept there.

In 2012, the property’s owner was hoping to attract a very different crowd —prospective buyers — as it marketed the Vienna facility for sale.

Built in 1954, the 113,000-square-foot property, a mile north of the Wolf Trap performing arts center, helped Hazleton Laboratories become the nation’s largest tester of pharmaceutical products, food additives and industrial chemicals by the 1980s.

Hazleton later became Covance, now one of the nation’s largest drug development companies, based in Princeton, N.J. It has more than 10,000 employees and reported $2.1 billion in 2011 revenue.

The Vienna laboratory, for which the company bred its own rhesus monkeys and beagles as testing subjects, later became a target for roadside protests by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and other activists.

Fears about laboratory animals in the county exploded after a shipment of 100 monkeys to a separate Hazleton facility in Reston contracted the Ebola virus — setting off a panic among government officials and residents chronicled in the book “The Hot Zone .”

Covance opted to close the Vienna laboratory and shelved plans to build a new $175 million lab in Prince William County.

“In October 2010, Covance announced that we would close our facility in Vienna because of continued weak demand in the toxicology market,” Melissa Thompson, a Covance spokeswoman, said in a statement. “We have transitioned work and service lines to our other sites to leverage existing capacity and infrastructure, and plans are to sell the property.”

In May 2012, Fairfax County issued Covance demolition permits for the buildings — a sign that the company was preparing the site for other uses. When the laboratory’s closure was announced, the site was discussed as a possible senior living facility, according to Fairfax County Board Supervisor John W. Foust.

Since then, Foust said, “the silence has been deafening” in terms of what might happen to the site.

“We try real hard to keep commercial from coming on that side of Route 7 in that area, so I think it’s likely to be a residential use,” Foust said about the site. Offices or retail would be a concern to residents already bombarded by traffic, he said.

“But there might be things that someone could propose that could increase the density but provide public amenities that may be found to be acceptable,” he added.

The Reston property, site of the Ebola outbreak, became condominiums and a child care facility.

I think he means the Covance facility. They received a demolition permit some time back.

dimbulbs??

They paid for my Masters in Biochem.

Left to start a Navy Program based on my Hybridoma/Monoclonal experience I gained there. The Navy paid for PhD.

Left that program after my PhD to start a Biotech company in 1998 with three partners. I have 70 employees and no corporate debt. I also have two more start ups going.

I did not wash cages. Those who work, work. Those that achieve, achieve.

If I am a dimbulb, what are you???

I am a fucking Moron. I guess. I own two houses in the 22032 Zip. River cabins in WW. Whatcha got?

You sound bitter? Guess you did not take advantage of employer paid college.

Ya think? What a dumbass.

I don't think he means people who worked there were dumb. I guess he's just tired of the topic being brought up over and over.

Coffee? And the expansive windows with the beautiful grounds? If not Your a LOOSER! So Dont Ever Brag Here on FXU!

i fucking hate people from NJ

it was a gov owned facility they are trying to change the paperwork - likely to hide a shitload of theft in NJ books

the italians went into Deleware in a court and claimed they owned the Chrystler corporation

chrystler was bailed out by the USA taxpayers a few times (not italian - they were buisy shutting down fiat at the time)

they didn't pay back the loans which in effect were from the USA families. they built farrari factories never paid the loans then just filed fake paperwork in a courthouse saying they were the true owners

full of shit. drop a bomb on them.

hey. how is italy enjoy selling america's plans to our sky scrapers to , ie, china ?

the very expensive data from chicago and NY about american infrastructue (cost allot of money to design sky scrapers)

which somehow "got out" through NY,NY "partnership" of sharing students books and technology with a "sister college" in italy

-----------------------------
pizza i owe you

whatever

guess what ???

i can shuffle old papers and sign shit too

i own chevrolete you idiots

Gee, that's exciting news. Apparently, you started yet another version of this thread simply for purposes of resumé-reciting? Do you think anyone cares, dimbulb?

For starters, more sense than to care how big you claim your penis is.

Took advantage of college-paid college actually. But I don't go around starting threads about it.

I don't need a resume d-head. Oh yeah, in science it's not called a resume. What a dumb F. Look it up. Resume??? LOL. I have not sent out a CV in 20 years. I just get CVs asking for jobs. I was just pointing out to a moron that it was a great place to work in the late 80's and use Hazleton as a jumping board for a career. My original post was looking for people who liked working there then. But, I had to deal with a dumb ass and now two.

I worked as a technical report writer for a little less than none or ten months at Hazleton in the late 1970s, from 1977 -1978. Hazleton paid for absolutely none of my additional college work. I found the atmosphere to be highly demeaning, especially having worked for "Der Obergroupenfuhrer" there. I was paid only 25 cents per hours more than those who worked with the monkeys and dogs doing inhalation studies. It was my first job out of college, but it did not serve as a springboard for anything at all which was positive for me. It way have been a source of academic identity theft which has plagued me now for over the past thirty years. I later paid for other degrees out of my own pocket, a two year degree in medical technology which led to employment at three times my former salary at Hazleton, followed by subsequent graduate work in the fields of education and biology. I do not have a degree in biochemistry, but two M.Ed degrees in education, almost a third mater's degree in biology, and 95th percentile scores on the National Teachers' Exam Test of Biology and General Science, a score of 760, and complete inability to obtain any kind of position teaching high school science for the past thirty years. I have been a college adjunct laboratory instructor three times, as well as have had part-time work for over a decade as a home-bound teacher, and that is about it. Also, I have been a past American Mensa IQ Test Proctor. I joined America Mensa using my score on a Miller Analogies Test which I took back in 1986. I am no dim bulb, but I have been trying to figure out the source of my academic identity theft, I do not know whether or not it traces to Hazleton labs or subsequent employment at the American Red Cross in Washington, D.C. where I worked initially as a med tech, and then as a technologist in blood banking for 5 1/2 years before trying to obtain employment as a high school science teacher which actually would have paid more money! I am also registered BB(ASACP) in blood banking and MLT (ASCP) in the general laboratory, both ASCP registrations I acquired post-Hazleton lab days after receiving subsequent training in the medical laboratory science field. I am still trying to figure out what happened. I also understand that there may be a lot of manufacturing of false academic credentials in the DC Metro Area. None of my credentials are fake. I do not know what gives-- other than to say it's a man's world. It does not surprise me that Hazleton would pay for a man to obtain a Ph.D. in biochemistry. My immediate boss , a Georgetown University grad who used to play in the Army Reserves on the weekends, and in my opinion got the federal government to pay for a whole lot of his education and just about any kind of crap he wanted was probably able to successfully "game the system" there-- and also would help to pay for the subsequent education for any man who worked there. The lab in my opinion was a "old boy system" for men, jocks, and folks with military credentials, not for women in the field! However, I am not a detective and i cannot trace down these things. To me, getting Hazleton to jump start a career in the Navy or whatever all falls in the line of $300 toilet seats and over other government cost overruns which I have read about in the newspaper. There appears to be a network of high testosterone crooks with military contracts as well as the right connections to research labs which also have government contracts which is abundant in the DC metro area. However, in the meantime, people like me have to pay for it which we can least afford to do because we are scammed left and right with identity theft, and other crap which keeps us unemployable, regardless of whatever wattage our light bulbs happens to be. Incidentally, addition to having Mensa membership, I had had a past membership in Intertel also, the 99th percentile high IQ society, and I am collecting social security early, today because I cannot get any kind of employment commensurate with my academic training or previous work experience. I feel that none of this is my fault, either. Also, I cannot find pro bono legal representation to help me to trace this down, either.

I just Googled Hazleton labs over the internet because someone from the state of Virgnina helped me to re-veamp my resume three years ago; I used it, complete with a misspelling of Hazlton labs in it which I just now notived. So, I decied to Google hazloton to try to figure out why this state offical changed my orignal spelling of the lab in my resume docments, and found this discourse on Hazleton. I have had all sort of Bozos change my orignal spelling of a lot of things both interms of job applcaitons, reseumes and so forth. I donot know what the deal is with that either. Fro some reason, I keep running into theses pedeantic Bozoz who bleive that I donot know how to spell my own name, much less spell correctly any anme of former employers. However, I sincerely doublt whether the misspelling of Hazlton labs is responsible for the diffiuclty I have had in seeking subseuent emplyment fowlling my 5 1/2 year emplyment at the greater Washgiton metropoltican Blod baki of the American red cross when it used to be lcoated at 2025 E Street, NW in Washignton, D.C.

I am still trying to figure out exactly what happened. I also had my academic transcripts evaluated by OPM in 2000, and was given a rating as an entry level statistician, and could not parlay that into a federal job, either. I had subsequent to my employment at Hazleton one year's worth of graduate level bio-statistics in my academic transcripts as well as numerous courses in tests and measurement in both education and psychology. I could not get into grad school in psychology either or in educational psychology after having made a score of 700 on the GRE in psychology, also.

Again, I do not know what gives. I also have had gradate courses in not only biology but in graduate medical technology taken at the MCV campus of VCU. My graduate course work in education was taken at GMU, VCU as well as the University of Virginia, from which i have one of my two M.,Ed degrees. In addition, I have graduate psychology course work from GMU, JMU, as well as from Lynchburg College. I have undergraduate work from GMU, Marymount (Arlington, Va) Mary Washington, and NVCC.

I can not say where the problem lies. I do know that I appear to have an academic identity mix-up with another "Carol Shumate" who used to work as an Event programmer at George Mason University in the past as well as was a special educator in the Northern Virginia area and has an M.Ed. in Special Ed obtained in 1977 from George Mason University, listed in the same alumnae book which lists my first bachelor's degree from GMU. ( I obtained a second bachelor's degree, a B.S. rather than a B.A. nine years later.) I met her for the first time in October of 2003 in Richmond Virginia where she was passing out a CV which listed her M.Ed as coming from the University of Virginia where I obtained one of my two M.Ed. degrees.

Sp I do not know what gives. I really need pro bono legal representation at this point in time. I do not know how to get it. No one in VA government will tell me how to obtain it. Also, I was told that the state of Virginia will not sue the state just in case that the problem lies at George Mason University with one of GMU's former employees. I was told this over the telephone when I last talked to one of the state attorneys long distance in Richmond while I was still living in Northern Virginia around 2003 or 2004. I cannot recall what the guy's name was, but I think that he later committed suicide. He was an acquaintance of Mr. William Henry Hurd, Esq, with whom I have had difficult dealings in the past. In addition, I do know pretty much for a fact that m nemesis in identity theft was involved in the pro-life movement which was also championed by Mr. William Henry Hurd, and was a special educator. I do not know whether or not there is any cross-over between pro-lifers and PETA people who were beginning to picket Hazleton labs when I worked there. I also had a PETA nut in one of my graduate biology classes which I wound up auditing at GMU, which I was taking at the same time I was employed at Hazleton labs. This PETA activist nearly drove me crazy the entire time I was employed at Hazleton by calling me up on my lunch break and telling me to quit my immoral job.

I did not quit due to the instigation of anyone at PETA. I quit really because I found the work environment a little be too toxic. I was unaccustomed to hearing the F-bomb hurled at me constantly. Later, I adapted to that language, but it took me twenty years to develop some insensitivity to hearing it expressed. Those in the military are probably more accustomed to hearing it.

My late father was a high ranking civilian DoD engineer, who retired from the Department of the Navy. I never heard such crude words bounced around when my parents were entertaining other civilians in the DoD as well as Navy brass; however, I guess I was exposed to more genteel circumstances than the average Hazleton employee with a military background. Also, prior to college I spent a number of years in a Friends' School in Moorestown, NJ, but wound up graduating from a public high school in Louisville, KY after my father was transferred to KY. No one I knew threw around the F-bomb in common parlance until I came to work at Hazleton labs in 1977. I never circulated with Naval enlisted men, or other enlisted people, nor military officers who would swear at me in the mixed company before I was employed at Hazleton. However, I found such language also when I was a graduate student at VCU, 20 years later, and encountered some other faculty/staff who had former military reserve backgrounds, also, and tended to employ similar expressions. In addition, I heard a wide variety of found f-bomb laden epithets uttered by the nonprofessional laboratory staff by when I worked on a mixed racial shift during the evening and later overnight in the Drew Center at 2025 E Street, NW in Washington, D.C, where I was employed as a med tech from 1982- 1987, before the blood bank was mo relocated to suburban Maryland. The blood bank was relocated after I quit and returned to college to train full time in a teacher certification program under the auspices of Lynchburg College. My education there was partially financed by a Pell grant.

At any rate, for whatever it is worth, here is my take on the matter. I hope that someone may be able to uncover where my academic identity theft first began.,

I apologize for the typos. I am married and having to deal with a whole lot of domestic issued at home, which has prevented me from proof-reading my original post.

Should anyone wish to have a typed and proofed correction of all of the above, please contact me, and I will be glad to edit it.

When I worked as a tech writer, I did all of my writing in longhand, and the departmental secretary would type it.

Admittedly I am a poor typist. I used the Columbus method, i.e. I find a key and land on it-- and look at my fingers when I type. I never had a tying or keyboarding course in my life. All of my high school and college education was academic. Unfortunately, none of it also included courses in computer programming. Much of the programming used at Hazleton was in-house written analysis of variance and covariance written in basic, as I understand it. i was told to take a programming courses while I worked there; however I was interested in obtaining an advanced degree, and more undergraduate work. I already had graduate courses work in research and design as well as SPSS when i went to work there. I had divided my a post-graduate academic work between courses applicable to ward an M,S in experimental psychology and those applicable towards completing my second bachelor's degree in biology which I completed nine years later, when a B.S. was required for career advancement at the ARC. Also, I needed a BS, in order to sit for the BB (ASCP) exam. My former boss at Hazleton also accused me of miss-representing my degrees when I told him that my graduate work was applicable towards an M.S. at the time. I was enrolled not in an M.S. program but in extended studies so that i could take both graduate and undergraduate courses simultaneously. However, my boss, the brilliant Georgetown graduate and assh_le never understood. I think that he had too many expectation for the paltry pay of $4.25 per hoor which I was making.
I I later helped my mother start a retail florist while I was re-training in medical technology. My mother had to pay her employees $5.00 per hour to get them to work for her. I simply do not know why my boss at Hazleton was such a cheapskate as well as a real s.o.b.. At any office Christmas party in 1978 one of the lab techs said that my boss was so mean that he had to jerk off each morning just to get his heart started! Actually, before I left, I thought that such was probably true!

^^ Thanks for the update Shumate...

Jesus, the OP is a blowhard. Who fucking cares about your career or your education. I'm sure the internet is really interested in all of this worthless fucking drivel. And same to Carol Rae whoever the fuck. Jesus, for a technical writer, you sure do write like a complete moron.

This thread is even more worthless than any of the Arthur Treacher's threads. At least those make me chuckle. OP, next time post on a forum where people actually give a flying fuck what you have to say.

Hey, Boring Moron:

Maybe I was writing for the benefit of the State Attorney General's office, or other state offices.

I really do not give a flying f-ck what you think about me or my fine prose, or what you say or what you do! You do not pay my bills, and you do not have my particular IQ, nor the IQ of the other individual who obtained an advanced degrees in biochemistry.

Also, your writing style reveals a gtrat deal about your character and overall intellectual development.

Write some more to let the world know exactly how many standards deviations your IQ is below normal, "retard!"'' I hate to resort to calling people names; however when dealing with writers like you and other cretins, one has to be blunt in order to make a point.

It is my profound hope that some intelligent being will be able to utilize this information produced in this manner in a useful and constructive matter.

It is unfortunate that Hazleton labs closed, and that Covance or whatever laboratory assumed the same testing function does not have a comparable testing facility in Northern Virginia. Northern Virginia would be an excellent location for such a facility because it is close to numerous universities as well as the National Institute of Health. It is my hope that eventually another facility may be open up in the Northern Virginia 'burbs. Right now, many testing labs are located in suburban Maryland., Virginia ought to be a suitable location for similar businesses, not just in the field of biological research testing but in the field of medical laboratory testing, also. There is a need for many different kinds of testing laboratories. Competition tends to keep prices down in terms of medical testing, as well as product In ADDITION, REFERENCE LABS ALSO ARE NEEDED TO TEST A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF DRUGS.

My guess is that you really are not cognizant of the field of drug, product and OSHA testing, as well as for what LD-50s are used. In addition, I doubt very seriously if you are a member of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists Board of registry. However, members of this august group of registrants, as well as those who writ and publish in a variety of different scientific fields , even those who are members of the American Chemical Society tend to be more cognizant of the necessity of biological testing, as well as having numerous different kinds of testing laboratories as well as reference labs.

Also, there are a wide number of different kinds of psychometric and educational tests on the market. I suggest that you take one, not just an IQ test, but something like the MMPI, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Test.It is a psychiatric screening instrument, I think that the results of such testing in you case would be most revealing.

Get help! You need it!

Beltway bandit contractors don't even supply coffee free to their workers, much less advanced college educations to better a low level employee's chances of getting a better job.

With the uncertainty now about how healthcare institutions will lose funding due to government budget changes in the future, labs and healthcare may also not be hiring. And, these are the jobs that they like to hire cheap labor from developing countries to do.

You have to know somebody or have family to get a job with the gubermint, if you do not have a military background. That is one of the prerequisites just to get through the door. There are plenty of military people available around here so you will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list and will always be having new "more qualified" people placed ahead of you.

You might take a look at all the jobs that you actually have the qualifications to do now, then apply in parts of the country that are needing people with these qualifications.

The job market is changing rapidly. Everything is getting automated now, and just to get a job will soon require going through new training. You may not get the dream job you always wanted to do, but if you can get a job that pays for your expenses with enough left over to enjoy life with, you han pursue other things that you really like to do in your off time, ie be a professional student if you wish.

Also try for jobs at many of the state university libraries. They love to hire people with research and technical training backgrounds and you will be able to assist people doing research.

If you can get a full time job at a state university in the US, many of them have benefits that you can get for free, ie. the pursuit of a degree in a desired professional program while you are a full time employee. I got through college for free this way--but if you do it this way, you can't be in a big hurry to finish.

I worked on the Marijuana study

hi all.. worked there in the accounting dept early 1982. worst job i ever had. omg..one woman named sandy was just the nastiest %%$#$$ you'd ever meet. made everyday a living hell for me. theresa. katie and betty were all so sweet...the big boss e.o was like a harvey weinstein. i quit after a couple months
