Science
Committee:
Supercomputing Essential
To U.S. Competitiveness
Members
of the House Science Committee, meeting yesterday
to review federal policy on supercomputing, heard
a litany of concern from industry and government
officials regarding the state of the nation’s
computing infrastructure. "Supercomputers
help design our cars, predict our weather, and
deepen our understanding of the natural forces
that govern our lives, such as climate,"
said Committee Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY).
"So when we hear that the U.S. may be losing
its lead in supercomputing, that Japan now has
the fastest supercomputer, that the U.S. may be
returning to a time when our top scientists didn't
have access to the best machines, that our government
may have too fragmented a supercomputing policy
- well, those issues are a red flag that should
capture the attention of all of us." Boehlert
urged Ray Orbach, Director of DOE’s Office
of Science, to undertake a "coordinated,
concerted" approach to maintaining U.S. dominance
in supercomputing. For more information go here. |

Regents
Panel VotesTo Raise Student Fees
Acting
to prevent ever-deeper state budget cuts
from damaging the quality of the student
instructional program, the Finance Committee
of the University of California Board of
Regents voted yesterday to raise 2003-04
student fees 25 percent above their current
level. The committee also gave UC President
Richard C. Atkinson authority to increase
the fee hike to 30 percent if the state's
budget situation requires. For resident
undergraduates, a 25 percent increase would
be $960 and a 30 percent increase would
be $1,150. The full Board of Regents will
act on ratification of the committee actions
today. Full
story. |

Wave
Goodbye
To Java Wave
Due
to a shortage of patrons and a dwindling
economic bottom line, Berkeley Labs
mobile refreshment service "Java Wave"
will discontinue operations after Friday.
The coffee van, which also offered breakfast
and lunch items along with a comprehensive
drink service, was an experiment that attracted
loyal customers at stops across the hill,
albeit not enough of them. |
