May 7 Briefs Excerpts: 

JSA Sabbatical and Research Leave Support at Jefferson Lab 
The JSA/JLab Sabbatical and Research Leave Support Program enhances research opportunities for faculty through access to Jefferson Lab facilities and interaction with Jefferson Lab researchers and users, strengthens the teaching and research capabilities of universities through faculty involvement, and strengthens the research programs of Jefferson Lab by attracting "new blood" and integrating university faculty members in the lab's programs. JSA will award living expenses up to $1,500 per month for up to twelve months to qualified faculty members to relocate to the Hampton Roads area to conduct full-time research at Jefferson Lab while on an approved sabbatical or research leave. For eligibility and application information, see the JSA website. Application deadline is June 2. Link: http://www.jsallc.org/IF/Sabbaticals2014.html 

See Jefferson Lab Researchers Speak at Particle Fever Debut 
Three researchers affiliated with Jefferson Lab will give presentations at a local showing of "Particle Fever." The film gives audiences a front row seat to a profound scientific breakthrough as it happens - the confirmation of the existence of "the god particle." Particle Fever follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. Directed by Mark Levinson, a physicist turned filmmaker, and edited by Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient), Particle Fever is a celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind this epic machine. The film will be shown on May 14 at the Naro Expanded Cinema in Norfolk. The post-film discussion will be led by three researchers affilitated with Jefferson Lab: Charles Hyde, a professor of physics at ODU who is working to understand how the interactions of quarks and gluons generate the 98 percent of the mass of ordinary matter that is not generated by the Higgs field; Larry Weinstein, a professor and eminent scholar in physics at ODU and author of "Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin," and Todd Satogata, a senior scientist at Jefferson Lab who has designed, built and operated particle accelerators for 25 years. 



Parking Lot Closure 
The parking lot on the northeast side of the Test Lab, Bldg. 58, will be closed May 8-11, so that the surface can be seal coated and striped. No vehicles will be allowed in the area during that time. All will need to use other parking lots. If you have any questions about this project, contact Suresh Chandra, x7248. 
Open House Volunteers Still Needed 
Jefferson Lab's 2014 Open House is 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 

Records and Information Management Month Ends 
Thanks for playing the Weekly RIM Trivia Questions during RIM month in April. The winner of the final Starbucks gift card was Katherine Wilson, whose name was randomly selected from those who answered last week's trivia question correctly. The answer was "Kamino." Until next April, remember, "Records management is everyone's responsibility!"
