National
Lab Workshop
Coming Here This Week The
National Academies, through their Committee for
the Workshop on National Laboratories and Universities,
will make a stop at Berkeley Lab tomorrow to talk
about ways to strengthen the bonds of collaboration
and partnership. Director Charles Shank
will play the host’s role to a distinguished
visitors’ group that includes Robert Berdahl,
UC Berkeley Chancellor, and Jeff Wadsworth, new
Director of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Discussion
will take place in the Building 66 auditorium,
and will continue Friday at UC Berkeley’s
Haas School of Business. See the project charge
here. |

City Will Name Liaison for Lab Matters
The
Berkeley City Council passed a resolution last
night that directs the City Manager to identify
a "lab liaison" who will be responsible
for coordinating relations between the city and
Berkeley Lab. It also directs city planning and
environmental staff to conduct preliminary analyses
of all major planned development projects here
and to provide a written summary of land use and
environmental issues. In his recommendation, Mayor
Tom Bates said the action will help the city to
evaluate lab proposals and coordinate city-lab
connections "from land use review to fire
safety." |

Today’ Features
Marnay on Microgrids
Chris
Marnay, a researcher in the Environmental
Energy Technologies Division, is featured
in this week’s edition of the
CBS news program "Science Today."
Produced by the University of California,
the one-minute reports appear daily
on dozens of radio stations across
the country, including KCBS in San
Francisco. To hear (with RealAudio)
Marnay’s views on reducing the
overall load of energy demands on
the utility grid through the potential
marriage of microgrids and fuel cells,
go here. |

Computing Edges Into the Mainstream
By
Darryl Taft
The
Globus Project has announced the official
release of the Globus Toolkit 3.0,
which melds the worlds of grid computing
and Web services, and helps bring
grid computing into more mainstream,
commercial applications. Grid computing
is the practice of using computers
in the way utilities use power grids—tapping
the unused capacity of a vast array
of linked systems. Users can then
share compute power, databases and
services online. The Globus Project
is based at Argonne Lab, the University
of Southern California and the University
of Chicago. (Berkeley Lab is
a partner in the project). Full

Decode
Gamma-ray Burst Mystery
By
Christopher Watjen
Scientists
have pieced together the key elements of
a gamma-ray burst, from star death to dramatic
black hole birth, thanks to a March 29 explosion
considered the "Rosetta stone"
of such bursts. The results are described
in the June 19 issue of Nature, in
an article coauthored by Stan Woosley of
the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Woosley and his graduate student, Weiqun
Zhang, created computer simulations of a
gamma-ray burst using one of the fastest
unclassified computers in the world, at
Berkeley Lab. Full
