From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
  
      (LLNL) A research organaisatin operated by the
      {University of California} under a contract with the US
      Department of Energy.   LLNL was founded on 2 September 1952 at
      the site of an old World War II naval air station.
  
      The Lab employs researchers from many scientific and
      engineering disciplines.   Some of its departments are the
      National Ignition Facility, the Human Genome Center, the ASCI
      Tera-Scale Computing partnership, the Computer Security
      Technology Center, and the Site 300 Experimental Test
      Facility.   Other research areas are Astronomy and
      Astrophysics, Atmospheric Science, Automation and Robotics,
      Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Energy Research, Engineering,
      Environmental Science, Fusion, Geology and Geophysics, Health,
      Lasers and Optics, Materials Science, National Security,
      Physics, Sensors and Instrumentation, Space Science.
  
      LLNL also works with industry in research and licensing
      projects.   At the end of fiscal year 1995, the lab had signed
      agreements for 193 cost-shared research projects involving 201
      companies and worth nearly $600m.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Lorenz attractor
  
      (After {Edward Lorenz}, its discoverer) A region
      in the {phase space} of the solution to certain systems of
      (non-linear) {differential equations}.   Under certain
      conditions, the motion of a particle described by such as
      system will neither converge to a steady state nor diverge to
      infinity, but will stay in a bounded but chaotically defined
      region.   By {chaotic}, we mean that the particle's location,
      while definitely in the attractor, might as well be randomly
      placed there.   That is, the particle appears to move randomly,
      and yet obeys a deeper order, since is never leaves the
      attractor.
  
      Lorenz modelled the location of a particle moving subject to
      atmospheric forces and obtained a certain system of {ordinary
      differential equations}.   When he solved the system
      numerically, he found that his particle moved wildly and
      apparently randomly.   After a while, though, he found that
      while the momentary behaviour of the particle was chaotic, the
      general pattern of an attractor appeared.   In his case, the
      pattern was the butterfly shaped attractor now known as the
      {Lorenz attractor}.

   lawrencium
   Symbol: Lr
   Atomic number: 103
   Atomic weight: (262)
   Appearance unknown, however it is most likely silvery-white or grey
   and metallic. Lawrencium is a synthetic rare-earth metal. There are
   eight known radioisotopes, the most stable being Lr-262 with a half-life
   of 3.6 hours. Due to the short half-life of lawrencium, and its
   radioactivity, there are no known uses for it. Identified by Albert Ghiorso
   in 1961 at Berkeley. It was produced by bombarding californium with boron
   ions. The name is temporary {IUPAC} nomenclature, the origin of the name
   comes from Ernest O. Lawrence, the inventor of the cyclotron. If sufficient
   amounts of lawrencium were produced, it would pose a radiation hazard.
