State Bike Commute
Week Starts on Monday
The 12th California Bike Commute Week is next Monday through Friday. Berkeley Lab, including the LBNL Bicycle Coalition and the EH&S Division, encourages all employees to participate in this annual event celebrating safe bicycling and increased bicycle use. See the California Bike Commute website for more details. Remember that, in addition to all applicable California Vehicle Code requirements governing bicycle riders, current Lab policy requires approved bicycle helmets be worn at all times. A web-based survey is available to remind riders of the Laboratory's Bicycle Safety Policy and to solicit feedback on how to make the Lab a better place to ride a bike.
Get to Know Molecular
Foundry at Workshop To celebrate the inauguration of the Molecular Foundry, a workshop will be held May 25-26 to introduce prospective users to the staff, current research, and capabilities of the Foundry, as well as the procedures involved in applying for free use of the facilities. Go here to register for the workshop.

Office of Science Budget
Gets Subcommittee OK
The House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee yesterday voted to report its FY07 spending bill to the full committee. The House Full Appropriations Committee is expected to consider the bill next week and possible House floor action is expected shortly thereafter. According to the release, the bill would fully fund President Bush's American Competitiveness Initiative, bringing the Office of Science funding to $4.132 billion — approximately $500 million over last year's appropriation. Go here to read a press release issued by the subcommittee. The full text of the bill may be available within the next few days.

PG&E Electrical
Work on Sunday
On Sunday, PG&E will perform equipment service on one of the 115Kv-transmission lines to Berkeley Lab. The procedure will be transparent to the Lab community and it is highly unlikely that an interruption of power will occur. However, the possibility of an electrical power interruption always exists. Take all necessary precautions. For questions or additional information, contact Dennis Nielsen (x4055) or Larry Domansky (x5262).
Parking Near Cafeteria
Limited On Monday
Due to several activities taking place at the Lab on Monday, parking will be limited in the cafeteria lot and the "Z" lot, just south of the cafeteria. Drivers who use these lots should park in other areas or use public transportation. Information about the Lab's shuttle service is available here.
Venture Capitalists Talk
At Tech Transfer Session
Representatives from venture capitalist groups will be on hand to discuss transferring technology to the marketplace on Monday at noon in the Building 66 Auditorium. More information on the event is available here.

A sharp-eyed reader, physicist Robert Cahn, correctly pointed out that in Thursday's edition of "Today at Berkeley Lab," a story about former Lab senior scientist Neil Bartlett misstated the outcome of his honored research. Bartlett proved that "noble gases" — neon, helium, argon, etc. — are not inert. The word "not" was mistakenly omitted from the text.
