Energy Labs Test Grid
For Monster Downloads
Two Energy Department laboratories, along with a number of universities, tested a grid network that will eventually distribute experimental data from the CERN particle physics laboratory in Geneva to multiple research laboratories around the globe. While electronically shepherding large amounts of information from one location to another is a difficult problem in itself, the task grows even more complex with multiple recipients. This demonstration showed such bulk transfers are possible, using grid software. For instance, Fermilab, which will serve as a node for distributing data, uses Storage Resource Manager, grid middleware developed in part by Berkeley Lab. Full story.

Physicist Helped
Discover Particles
While Lina Galtieri, with the Lab's Physics Division, has not won a Nobel Prize, she was there alongside Luis Alvarez when several new particles were discovered during bubble chamber experiments. She and other members of the Alvarez group accompanied him to Stockholm for the Nobel ceremony. In addition to finding particles, she has also contributed to their demise, debunking the "split A2" experiment conducted at CERN. More recently, Galtieri was among those who contributed to the discovery of the top quark, as part of the Collider Detector at Fermilab group. An avid traveler, she has trekked Mount Kilimanjaro in Japan, the Inca Trail in Peru, and the Baltoro Glacier in Pakistan, among other exotic locales.

President's Office, Cal
Closed for Chavez Day
The University of California's Office of the President and the Berkeley campus will be closed today in observance of Cesar Chavez Day. Both will reopen for regular business on Monday
Applications Sought
For Technology Award
The University of California is seeking applications for the Larry Sautter Award for Innovation in Information Technology. The award is open to faculty and staff from all UC campuses, the Office of the President and the three UC-managed national laboratories. The honor recognizes information technology innovations that have the potential to improve UC administrative or academic processes. Application information can be found here. Deadline is 5 p.m. May 15. Last year, the Lab's Scientific Cluster Support Group won a Silver Award in this competition.
Spring Forward
On Sunday
Sunday marks the start of Daylight Savings Time, so don't forget to set clocks forward by one hour before going to bed Saturday night.
