April 30 Briefs Excerpts: 

Open House Volunteers Still Needed 
Jefferson Lab is weeks away from the 2014 Open House scheduled for Saturday, May 17. The key to the event's success is our volunteers. You and your co-workers, members of our user community, students, and family members over 13 years of age are needed to fill the variety of volunteer taskings for the event. We need scientists and non-scientists, engineers and non-engineers, and technical and administrative staff. You can work the whole event (eight hours) or a four-hour shift (morning or afternoon). Non-exempt employees will be paid, with advance approval from their supervisors. To volunteer, sign up as soon as possible. If you have any questions, contact Open House Volunteer Coordinator, Tina Menefee, 768-4030. Volunteer signup: https://misportal.jlab.org/ul/apps/volunteer/form.cfm?id=165 

Monthly Tornado Siren Test Set for Friday 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m on Friday, May 2. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. If this were an actual Tornado Warning, this message would direct you to take cover immediately in a Severe Wind Take Cover area. 

Jefferson Science Associates Minority/Female Undergraduate Research Assistantship 
Jefferson Lab is seeking candidates for a research assistantship. JSA will provide funds to support the student at the university during the 2014-2015 academic year. This project is supported by the JSA Initiatives Fund Program, a commitment from the JSA owners, SURA and PAE Applied Technologies. Initiatives Funds support programs, initiatives, and activities that further the scientific outreach, promote the science, education and technology of the Jefferson Lab and benefit the lab’s extended user community in ways that complement the lab’s basic and applied research missions. Nominations will be accepted through May 2. For more information, visit the website: https://www.jlab.org/jsamra

RIM Trivia Question of the Week 
Congratulations to Carlos Ayerbe-Gayoso, who was one of the many who correctly guessed the answer to last week's question. He was randomly selected as the winner of a Starbucks gift card. The correct answer to last week's question was LCDR Ben Finney. This week's trivia question (and the final question): In the film Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan Kenobi visits the Jedi Archives in search of a planet. After examining maps, he has a conversation with the Jedi Archivist, who tells him, "If an item does not appear in our records, it does not exist." What is the name of the planet Obi-Wan was looking for? All responses must be received at kindrew at jlab.org by noon on Friday, when a random drawing will take place of all correct answers. One person will win a Starbucks gift card! (Winners will be notified via email no later than 5 p.m. Friday following publication. Limit one gift card win per person.)

Student Projects, Volunteer Mentors Needed for High School Interns 
Six outstanding high school students have been selected to participate in the lab's High School Summer Honors Program, which will be held June 23 - Aug. 1. Critical to the success of their internship experience are projects for the students and mentors who can oversee one or more students as they carry out their work. The students are currently in the 11th and 12th grades and have expressed interest in pursuing scientific and technical careers. Lab scientists, engineers and other technical managers who are interested in serving as a mentor to high-achieving high school students and have a project, or any number of small projects that can be accomplished over the summer, are asked to contact Brita Hampton with a description of the work to be assigned. If you have questions email or call her at x7633. She needs ideas or proposals by May 1. 

Tracking Thomas at Jefferson Lab 
Little Thomas is helping the lab prepare for the Open House. He'll be back after the event. Last week, he could be found staying close to home: https://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffersonlab/14073034352/
