Office
of Science Director Ray Orbach will make his annual pilgrimage
to Berkeley Lab today to assess programs present and future
in a day-long "On-Site Review" in Perseverance
Hall. Orbach and several of his program managers from
Washington will hear a series of presentations by the
Lab's scientific and operational leadership reflecting
the laboratory's priorities and research plans. Lab Director
Charles Shank and his senior staff will host the
program (Attendance is invitation-only).
Conferees Discuss Wide-Field Space Imaging
A
conference on Wide-Field Imaging From Space is being
held today and tomorrow at Berkeley Lab. Some 150 scientists
from around the world are focusing on the scientific
opportunities afforded by imaging in the optical and
near-infrared. In addition to invited presentations
on subjects like dark energy and matter, galaxies, quasars,
and supernovae, there will be a number of contributed
talks as well as prominent poster sessions in the Building
50 Auditorium and the Cafeteria. Rocky Kolb, a physicist
from Fermilab, was last night's dinner speaker, and
Office of Science Director Ray Orbach will give this
evening's reception remarks. More than 100 collaborators
on the SuperNova Acceleration Probe (SNAP) project will
have a follow-on conference Wednesday and Thursday.
Go here for
more information on the conference.

Host A Teacher
This Summer
Industry Initiatives for Science and Math Education (IISME) has provided funding for a group of teachers to work at the Lab during the summer to gain useful skills in math and science education. The Lab's Center for Science and Engineering Education is looking for research groups that can provide an eight-week internship for one or more of these teachers. The IISME program uses industry-education partnerships to provide teachers with the experiences and tools they need to prepare students to be lifelong learners, responsible citizens, and productive employees. Go here for more information.

Inventory Scheduled
At Central Stores
Facilities
Stores will be conducting a wall-to-wall inventory
starting at 11 a.m. this Friday through Wednesday,
May 26. To conduct the inventory without interruption,
the stores counter in Building 78 will be closed
to walk up customers. Those needing project-critical
material during this time can call x5087. Customers
requiring material from Metal Stores should call
x5497. Every effort will be made to minimize the
impact to customers. Questions or concerns can
be directed to Don Prestella at x4224.
It is anticipated that normal Stores operations
will return on Thursday, May 27.

Scholarship Created To Honor Lab Employee
A scholarship fund has been created to honor the
memory of Ruth-Mary Larimer, who passed
away last fall. Many considered the long-time
Lab employee a pioneer for women in science. She
worked with various research groups here from
1954 to 1991, including the Nuclear Science Division.
The scholarship will support students in UC Berkeley's
Physics Department. Contribution checks (payable
to "UC Regents") can be sent to Virginia
Rapp, 366 LeConte Hall, campus, MC 7300.
Baseball Ticket
Sale Continues
Tickets are still available for the 6 p.m., Saturday, June 26 baseball game between the A's and the Giants in Oakland. They will be sold between noon and 1 p.m. in the cafeteria all this week. Payment must be made by check.
