Bill Would Clean Up,
Recycle Water
At a recent press conference, Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Pete Domenici introduced legislation to create a federal water technology program. During the press conference Berkeley Lab scientists Jim McMahon and Camilla Dunham -Whitehead (Environmental Energy Technologies) conducted a mini-exposition of their research in water technology. The new program seeks to expand and coordinate water technology research around the country to improve water quality and quantity; it would include research on new methods of saving water and energy simultaneously. Go here to read a Tri-Valley Herald story on this legislation.

Hiroshi Nikaido, a UC Berkeley and Berkeley Lab biochemist who has spent his career studying antibiotic resistance, has received a national award for his contribution to infectious disease research. He will be honored with the 14th annual "Freedom to Discover Award for Distinguished Achievement in Infectious Disease Research" from Bristol-Myers Squibb during a ceremony in October. The award includes a cash prize of $50,000. Nikaido was recognized for "groundbreaking contributions" that have helped scientists better understand why some bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. His work has led to the design of more effective antibiotics. Full story.

SANS Workshop
In Early August
The
Department of Energy is hosting a SANS Security Essentials,
Track 1 workshop at Livermore Lab from Monday, Aug.
2, through Saturday, Aug. 7. The course covers the most
important topics and skills for an information security
team and offers the language and underlying theory for
computer security. The Cyber Security Office will pay
for the cost of this training. Enrollment is open to
DOE employees and contractors. Go here
for more information and to register.
Computer Protection
Works to Secure Logins
As
part of an ongoing effort to secure logins and comply
with RPM and DOE requirements, the Lab's Computer Protection
Program will disallow inbound telnet connections, starting
Aug. 1. If you use telnet to remotely access Lab machines,
you'll need to switch to secure shell (ssh) or some
other program that encrypts each password that is entered
(ssh is built into many Linux and Unix systems). Go
here to obtain
free versions of ssh for other systems. Go here
to learn more about the Lab's computer and network security
policies.
