April 25 Briefs Excerpts:

Email Migrations into New System Ongoing
The CNI group is continuing to migrate staff and some users into the new email and calendar suite, Zimbra. These migrations are going well, with nearly 300 staff and users migrated into Zimbra and about 250 still left to migrate. These migrations are occurring overnight, and you will receive an email around noon on the day you are scheduled to be migrated. For more information, see the article in the March 16 OnTarget newsletter: http://wwwold.jlab.org/news/OnTarget/2012/2012-03/BelowTheFold.html#item7

Education Seeks Projects for Summer Honors Interns
JLab's Science Education team is seeking ideas and suggestions for projects, and project and mentor volunteers, for the lab's 2012 High School Summer Honors Program, June 25 to Aug. 3. Students chosen for the program will have a strong academic record and a strong desire to learn about the lab's science and technology. Lab scientists, engineers and other technical managers who are interested in serving as a mentor to these high-achieving high school students and have a project, or number of projects, to be accomplished this summer, are asked to send a description of the work to be assigned to Brita Hampton, x7633, by May 1.

Colloquium: From Quarks to Baseballs - The Evolution of a Physicist
Alan Nathan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will address some interesting and practical questions of baseball from a physics perspective. In this talk, he will discuss some of the ways that a physicist analyzes the game of baseball. The talk will be organized around two broad topics: The physics of the ball-bat collision and the aerodynamics of a baseball in flight. The goal is that all will enjoy this talk, whether your interest is physics, baseball, or the intersection between them. The colloquium will take place May 2 at 4 p.m. in the CEBAF Center auditorium.

RadCon Seminar: Anticipating Radiation Damage: Calculation of Relevant Quantities
Even non-biological matter can suffer serious consequences from radiation, both natural and artificial. Francesco Cerutti, Emerging Energy Technologies Section of the Engineering Department at CERN, will review the macroscopic quantities associated with different types of damage, such as absorbed dose, displacements per atom, high-energy hadron fluence, and silicon 1 MeV-equivalent neutron fluence. The calculation of these quantities will be discussed in the context of the Monte Carlo description of the radiation-matter interaction, with particular reference to the FLUKA code. The seminar will take place Friday, May 4 at 1:30 p.m. in CEBAF Center Room F113.

Tracking Thomas at JLab
Congratulations this week go to John Fischer, Dan Moore, Harry Fanning, Narciso Gomez, DeAnn Maddox and Karen Bartek, who were the first to correctly identify the April 18 location. Honorable mentions go to Casey Heck, Debra Brand, Ron Bartek, Angie Thomas, Subashini De Silva and Mike Martin. Check out the Tracking Thomas webpage for a better view of his last location and this week's new mystery photo.
