Tributes
to ALS, NCEM
Scheduled for Next Week Berkeley
Lab employees are invited to celebrate the milestones
achieved this year by two of its most distinguished
national user facilities. To honor the 20th anniversary
of the National Center for Electron Microscopy
(NCEM) and the 10th anniversary of the Advanced
Light Source (ALS), the Lab will hold a special
program of talks next Tuesday at noon in the Building
50 Auditorium (with live videocast in Building
66 Auditorium). Employee tours of both facilities
will be offered between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. A full
schedule, plus commemorative section, can be found
in tomorrow’s issue of The View.

Extremely
Urgent Warning to Windows Users! A
message generated by the Mimail.L worm, seemingly
from someone named Wendy; contains an attachment
purported to be a sexually explicit picture. Opening
this attachment will infect your Windows system.
Some versions of this worm encrypt this attachment
(helping it escape detection) and include a password
to decrypt it. Delete any version of this message
immediately -- do not forward it! Still another
version of this worm tells recipients that are
being billed $22.95 for CDs that they
have allegedly ordered, but that they can cancel
their order by sending credit card information
to [email protected]. Don't fall victim
to this ploy-- just delete the message immediately.

| Director
Optimistic
About UC Contract

In
light of media coverage in recent days of a provision
in the FY04 budget bill that would require competition
for the management contracts of all DOE labs,
including Berkeley Lab, Director Charles Shank
has cautioned employees not to be overly concerned.
"I remain optimistic that the University
of California will be in a strong position to
continue its management of Berkeley Lab. Our historic
relationship with the University and our decades-long
record of scientific excellence will serve us
well when future considerations are given to contract
management." He noted a statement in this
week’s DOE report by the blue-ribbon panel
on competition, which said “scientific and
technical output should have the greatest weight
in evaluating contractor performance.” Shank
promised to keep Lab employees informed of all
developments that may impact future operations.

the Management and Operations Contracts for DOE’s
National Laboratories, here.

UC
Faculty Stunned
By Berkeley Lab Bid Plan
By
Keay Davidson
UC
Berkeley faculty shuddered Wednesday at the prospects
that the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,
their longtime neighbor and a veritable factory
for Nobel Prizes, could be run by an out-of-state
university or even a for-profit corporation. "This
would be a major disaster, a really major disaster
on top of everything else we have to deal with now"
in the financially strapped UC system and state
of California, said Randy Schekman, a professor
of cell and developmental biology. Full
story.
