Lab
Device Helps
Berkeley Monitor Air
An invention
by Berkeley Lab Environment, Health and Safety nuclear engineer
Al Smith may be a valuable monitoring tool in the event of
"dirty bomb" terrorist attacks in the Bay Area. Smith's
air filter retrofits in City of Berkeley police cars, featured last
Friday in John Fowler's KTVU Channel 2 report, can detect radiation
residue and determine its nature and volume. Retired nuclear scientist
Gordon Wozniak, a Berkeley City Councilman, was also included
in the report, which can be viewed with RealPlayer software here.

Janos
Kirz, credited with being the "Father of STXM"
(scanning transmission x-ray microscopy), will spend
a 10-month sabbatical at the ALS this year to perform
soft x-ray diffraction experiments at Beamline 10.0.1.
Kirz, a Distinguished Professor of Physics at Stony
Brook University in New York, is the recipient of numerous
honors and awards. Full story.

2001
Energy Scare's
Impact Possibly Still Felt
By Ken Sheinkopf
Remember
the news reports in the summer of 2001 that predicted terrible
energy shortages in California? However, when the situation
never got as bad as feared, many people said that the media
had scared everyone unnecessarily. Now there's a report from
the Environmental Energy Technologies Division at Berkeley
Lab that suggests the opposite happened: the media reports
got consumers to change their behavior, and the resulting
energy conservation actions reduced peak demand by 3,000 megawatts
to 5,500 megawatts. Full
story.

FY02
DOE Grades In:
Lab Was 'Outstanding'
Official
results from the Department of Energy's annual Performance Evaluation
and Appraisal of management and operations at Berkeley Lab for
Fiscal Year 2002 have been delivered to Director Charles
Shank. Dick Nolan, Manager of DOE's Berkeley Site
Office, conveyed the Lab's fourth consecutive "outstanding"
rating to the Director, noting, "You and the entire staff
and management of the Laboratory again deserve great credit
for this sustained accomplishment." The full report, with
details on all assessed areas, can be read here.

Oakland
Schools Ask
For Help, Volunteers
The Oakland
Chamber of Commerce, of which Berkeley Lab is a member, has been
asked by the Oakland Unified School District for help in addressing
some of the financially-strapped system's needs. It asks companies
and individuals to volunteer time or services in the following areas:
payroll and payroll processing, purchasing and inventory control,
budget process and monitoring, and interview policies and practices.
The District is also seeking advice to achieve overall efficiency
cost savings. Lab employees who wish to volunteer should contact
Reid Edwards, Head of Public Affairs, at x6601 or [email protected].

Stop
Unwanted
Fax Calls
The two most
common questions Telephone Services receives are how to stop fax
machines from calling their extensions and how to remove "spam"
faxes from a voice mailbox. Although Telephone Services cannot control
unwanted fax calls, it makes every attempt to contact the sender
to have the Laboratory's extensions removed from the sender's call-out
list. Click here
to get directions on eliminating fax calls.
