(R-Arkansas) and Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) will meet
with senior management and hear about Lab programs,
including NERSC and advanced scientific computing, the
supernova satellite project (SNAP), the Advanced Light
Source, and the proposed Molecular Foundry. |

| Center
for Aging To Hold
Saturday Colloquium
The
Center for Research and Education on Aging (CREA) will present
a public colloquium and health fair tomorrow. Berkeley Lab and
UCB are among the sponsors of the event, which is designed to
provide exercise and nutrition strategies for remaining healthy
as we age. Judith Campisi of Berkeley Lab’s Life
Sciences Division will open the talks and participate in a panel
discussion. The fair will feature nutritional analyses, body
fat and calcium measurements, Tai Chi and Qigong demonstrations,
and resistance and strength training tips. The cost is $5 and
includes refreshments. The event will be held from 10- 2 p.m.
on campus at the Valley Life Sciences Building, Room 2050. For
further details or to register go here. |

It’s
Not Thanksgiving,
But Turkeys Are Here
Lab
employees might have been surprised to see a small number
of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallapavio) wandering
around Building 90 and the Cafeteria. The first to be
seen in the area, these birds are not native to this region.
Guide books note that the Southwestern turkey, which can
flock in groups of about 60 birds, is now found much further
west than ever before. Laboratory staff is currently seeking
information on possible impacts on native species, including
the typically sedentary California Quail (photo courtesy
of Dennis Kincy). |

| Blackberry
Gate Reminder:
Have ID After Hours
To
increase security on the Hill, a new card reader has been installed
at the Blackberry gate. All employees entering the Lab after
hours or on the weekend will be required to use their ID Proximity
Badge as they enter. For those entering with a valid ID badge,
the card reader will display a green light; invalid badges will
result in a red light. In addition, a reminder that any passengers
or guests will be required to show valid ID and sign in upon
entering. Questions or comments can be sent to Sue
Bowen, or Jim
Breckinridge. |

Strong Enough?
Put it to the Test
Weak
(guess-able) passwords remain one of the main causes of security-related
incidents. The Computer Protection Program offers a free test
of the strength of your password(s). To arrange for such a
test, send email to [email protected].
