Northeast
Blackout Prompts Calls to Lab Energy Experts The
massive power blackout that struck the northeastern United
States and parts of southern Canada yesterday brought a high
volume of phone calls from the media to Berkeley Lab. Experts
here in our Environmental Energy Technologies Division, such
as Joe Eto, program manager for the Consortium
for Electric Reliability Solutions (CERTS), were asked
to explain how power grids work and how a single failure event
can cascade into a series of failures on the scale experienced
yesterday. Among the callers was Ian Hoffman, science reporter
for the Oakland Tribune. The story can be read here.

Berkeley Beginning Layoffs
With
the state budget finalized, UC Berkeley will begin implementing
some employee layoffs as part of an overall strategy
to meet an estimated $25.5 million cut in state funding
for fiscal year 2003-04. The number of people who will
be laid off or face involuntary reductions in time is
not yet fully known. It is anticipated that the campus
as a whole will be eliminating the equivalent of more
than 200 full-time positions. Many of these are vacant
positions that have been left open in anticipation of
state funding cuts. Full
story. |

Arborist Launches Campus Tree Fund
The
lofty trees and lush greenery of the University of California,
Berkeley, campus make a lasting impression on visitors
and students alike, but what people don't see are the
many empty niches left by trees that have died and not
been replaced. Now, a campus arborist has launched the
Tree Fund, a grass-roots campaign to raise money to
buy and plant trees to replace those lost to disease,
and to take more intensive care of the campus's oldest
and most cherished trees. Full

On Line for Micron Software Compliance
The
Desktop Support Group often gets this question: "What
software and hardware was purchased with my Micron PC?"
It’s a good question, because organizations often
obtain computers that have been passed down from other
users or picked up from excess property, and it's important
to ensure that only software licensed to that computer
is being used on the system. Check out this recent article
in Computing
and Communications News to learn how to get
information about your computer and ensure your software
is in compliance. |
