Smoot Receives City
Of Berkeley Proclamation
Berkeley Lab physics Nobel Laureate George Smoot was honored by the City of Berkeley on Tuesday with an official proclamation. The document recognizes Smoot's groundbreaking 1992 discovery of temperature fluctuations that were consistent with Big Bang predictions and are believed to be "the primordial seeds from which our present universe grew." Said Mayor Tom Bates to Smoot upon bestowing the proclamation: "It's a wonderful award and we're really very proud of you." Go here to watch a video of the presentation (see 10/24/06 meeting), and here to read the proclamation.

Four Berkeley Lab earth scientists have recently received awards for their research. Karsten Pruess was given the O. E. Meinzer Award from the Geological Society of America. The award recognizes his work in multiphase and multicomponent flow and transport in complex geological media. Go here to read more about Pruess's research. Jonny Rutqvist, with co-authors Chin-Fu Tsang and Yvonne Tsang, have been honored by the American Rock Mechanics Association with a Case History Award for his analysis of coupled thermo- hydro-mechanical processes within the Yucca Mountain Drift Scale Heater Test. The test is the largest-scale and highest-temperature field experiment to date, with the objective of studying physical and chemical processes associated with a potential nuclear repository.

Correction on Open
Enrollment Dates
As part of this year's Open Enrollment period, the Lab's Benefits Office will host a vendor fair on Thursday, Nov. 2, from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in Perseverance Hall. The first of four Open Enrollment employee presentations will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 10 to 11 a.m., in the Building 50 Auditorium.
Calendar Data Purged
And Terms Updated
To ensure good system performance, the IT Division will be purging Calendar data older than 24 months beginning Sunday. To this aim, Calendar will be available for login, but unresponsive, for the following hours over the next six months: Monday - Saturday, 2 to 5 a.m., and Sunday 1 a.m. to noon. After initial purges, IT will continue to delete all records older than 24 months each Sunday as a standard maintenance practice. This means that the previous two years of data, plus all future data, will be kept in Calendar on a continual basis. For instructions on how to export your old Calendar data and DOE requirements, go here. To read Calendar's updated Terms of Service, go here. Reminder: 'Fall Back'
On Saturday Night
Employees are reminded that this weekend marks a Daylight Savings Time adjustment. Before going to bed on Saturday night, set your clocks back one hour.
