Chu Supports ARPA-E,
But Not at Cost of DOE
In his testimony before the House Committee on Science yesterday, Berkeley Lab Director Steve Chu explained why the National Academy of Sciences report "Rising Above the Gathering Storm" recommended a funding agency (ARPA-E) for supporting out-of-the-box transformational energy research. However, he cautioned, it should "not jeopardize the basic research supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Science," and rather should come from new funding. Go here to read the full testimony.

Sunday Outage
Impacts IT Services
A regularly scheduled maintenance outage will impact the following Information Technology Division services this Sunday from 8 a.m. to noon: e-mail, Calendar, LDAP directory, and web, as well as BLIS and other business applications. E-mail will be queued during the outage and delivered when the servers are back in operation. IT maintains a standing maintenance outage on the second Sunday of each month. This Sunday's work will ensure the continuing safe operation of IT's Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems. For questions, contact the IT Help Desk (x4357).
