November 5 Briefs Excerpts: 


Thanksgiving Buffet in the Quark Café 
The annual Quark Caf é Thanksgiving Feast is set for Thursday, Nov. 6, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. This year's buffet will feature roast turkey with cornbread sage dressing, gravy, fresh orange-cranberry sauce, wild mushroom ravioli in a Boursin® cream sauce, carved peppercorn-crusted tenderloin of beef, Yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green beans almondine, maple-walnut Brussels sprouts, dinner rolls and assorted pies. The buffet is $10.13 (plus tax) and includes a medium fountain drink. Buffet items will be available for a la carte purchase. 


Brief Internet Outage Set for Thursday, Nov. 6 
There will be a brief interruption in the lab's internet connection Thursday, Nov. 6, at 5:30 p.m. The total outage time is expected to be no more than 10 minutes. This outage is being scheduled to accommodate equipment upgrades. If you have any questions or concerns about this outage, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at x7155 or helpdesk at jlab.org. 


Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for Friday, Nov. 7 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. Individuals planning to be in the Central Materials Storage Area (where the siren is located) while the test is taking place must have with them and wear two layers of hearing protection. 


Colloquium: Neutron Stars in the Multi-Messenger Era: Extreme Matter and Extreme Phenomena 
Neutron stars are some of the most extreme astrophysical phenomena. In this talk, Sanjay Reddy, University of Washington, will discuss how the properties of matter at extreme density shape observable aspects of these phenomena. He will highlight the role of nuclear and neutrino physics in core collapse supernovae, neutron star mergers, nucleosynthesis, and transient phenomena observed in accreting neutron stars and magnetars. Quantitative predictions for future multi-messenger signals (photon, neutrino and gravitational wave) are within reach, and these predictions rely on combining advances in theory, simulation and terrestrial experiments. The colloquium is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Nov. 12 in the CEBAF Center auditorium. 


Order Thanksgiving Desserts from Quark Café 
The café will start accepting holiday dessert orders on Thursday, Nov. 6, during breakfast, lunch and Wednesday snack hours. The café is offering a selection of whole pies, including pumpkin, southern pecan, french silk and fruits of the forest. Pumpkin cheesecake is also available.
