SNAP
Might Become
Part of NASA Mission
Physicists
are shooting for the stars in a bid to understand the
mysteries of dark energy —the enigmatic force behind
the Universe's accelerating expansion. In a ground-breaking
collaboration, the Department of Energy (DOE) has teamed
up with NASA to plan a series of launches that will
explore this exotic area of astrophysics. The proposed
Joint Dark Energy Mission could reach the launch pad
around 2014 and, although it is not yet funded, it has
strong political backing. And although an instrument
such as Berkeley Lab's SuperNova Acceleration Probe
(SNAP) would not automatically be selected for the mission,
it would be a strong contender. Full
story.

Those
who lost homes in the Southern California wildfires
now face the task of recovery and rebuilding, an ordeal
that can last years and strain every resource, victims
of the 1991 East Bay hills fire said Tuesday. "It's
a profound experience," said Howard Matis
of Oakland, a nuclear scientist at Berkeley Lab. Matis
was a 1991 fire victim who moved into his new house
on the same spot 30 months after the disaster. Full
story.

Lab's Main Web Server
Offline for Maintenance Tonight
The
Lab's main web server, www.lbl.gov, will be
down for emergency preventative maintenance
tonight, Thursday, 10/30/2003, from 7:30PM to
10:00PM. This outage will affect various services
directly hosted by www.lbl.gov, such as the
web interface
to IMAP email, and the web
interface to Calendar. NOTE: Desktop client
access to IMAP email and Calendar will not be
affected. Department and division web servers
that are not hosted by www.lbl.gov will not
be affected, though links to them from the main
Lab web server will be unavailable.
'Edge'
Students to
Visit Lab Saturday
The
Berkeley Edge Conference, an annual meeting
designed to encourage underrepresented minority
students to consider UC Berkeley for graduate
work, will include Berkeley Lab in this
year's program. On Saturday morning in the cafeteria,
about 54 students and their sponsors from throughout
the nation will visit the Lab to interact with
scientists and administrators, present a poster
session, and participate in a discussion on
funding for graduate students. Go
here for more information.

'Wonderfest'
Dialogues
Address Science Topics
Wonderfest
2003, a Bay Area Festival of Science, will take
place at UC Berkeley on Saturday, Nov. 1 and at
Stanford on Sunday, Nov. 2. Sponsored in part
by Cal's Physics Department, Wonderfest features
a series of 90-minute dialogues between pairs
of distinguished researchers about timely scientific
topics. For example, the Berkeley sessions, in
Pimentel Hall, are entitled "Is the Universe
Infinite?", "Will We Ever Go to the
Stars?", and "Do We Understand Human
Emotion?" Tickets are $9 per session, or
$20 for a day pass, with discounts for students.
Go here
for more details.
