Berkeley Lab's incoming Director, Steven Chu, was introduced to the University of California Board of Regents in San Francisco yesterday, and he wasted no time in getting down to business. Taking a few moments to praise the scientific quality that he said he has found at the Lab, Chu told the Regents that sustained excellence will depend heavily upon adequate space, both on the hill and on campus. Full story.

Holiday Schedule Has
Been Revised
The winter holiday shutdown schedule for this year has been revised. The Lab has designated Thursday, Dec. 30, and Friday, Dec. 31, as the two New Year's holidays. Previously, Thursday had to be taken as either a vacation or leave-without-pay day. This change means employees will only have to take one vacation or leave-without-pay day (Wednesday, 12/29) during the calendar year 2004 shutdown. The rest of the 2004 schedule remains the same. The Lab reopens on Monday, Jan. 3. In addition, the holiday schedule for calendar year 2005 has been posted. Go here to view both schedules and an explanation of the holiday, leave, and vacation options.

Attosecond, Mold, Smog
Stories in Science Beat
The latest issue of the Lab's webzine Science Beat is now posted online. In it, you'll find stories on an artificial parasitic virus that promises to interfere with HIV, while multiplying in competition with it; scientists who are learning the secrets of breaking water into oxygen molecules and hydrogen ions; the affect of moldy buildings on health; why the weekends are getting smoggier in California; and the attoseconed slicing of x-rays. Go here to read the latest issue.
A Revamped SNAP
Website is Launched
The
Lab's SuperNovae- Acceleration Probe, or SNAP, website
has recently been redesigned, and now includes new features,
including Powerpoint slide presentations detailing the
science and the technical concepts behind SNAP, and
a spectacular new animation of the proposed satellite
done by Zach Radding and Robin LaFever.
Go here to view the
new website and here to view the animations,
one of which may require a software download (instructions
included).

Don't Miss Today's
Summer Lecture
Environmental
Energy Technologies' Jim McMahon
will present the last installment of the Lab's Summer
Lecture Series today at noon in the Building 50 Auditorium.
He will discuss "The Energy-Water Connection: Can We
Sustain Critical Resources and Make Them Reliable, Affordable
and Environmentally Sound?"
Vehicle Custodian:
Watch Those Plates
Important pieces of aluminum hang on each GSA vehicle — the Federal license plates, also referred to as "tags." Federal tags are symbols of government authority and accountability. Because they are not locked to the vehicles, they can fall off, or be removed.Vehicle custodians should routinely check to ensure that the tags are in place. If one or both are missing, notify Fleet Operations (x5475) so the proper authorities can be alerted and new license plates obtained.
