Holiday Safety Tips from Fermilab's Fire Department | ||
| ||
|
The following are just a few tips from the Fermilab Fire Department
to keep the holidays safe:
If purchasing a live tree, cut the base at a 45-degree angle and place in water. The needles should be hard to pull off and should not fall off when tapped on the ground. The branches should also bend easily. Place the tree in a wide base that would be difficult to tip over. Keep the tree away from all heat sources that may dry the tree out or start a fire. When the tree becomes dry, discard it immediately. Keep the tree well watered. If using chemicals in the water, keep pets and children away as these may cause vomiting. When decorating a tree inside or out, always use U-L approved lights. Do not over load the outlets or plugs. A GFCI is a good idea when hooking up multiple cords to an outlet. Check for broken/cracked sockets and frayed or bare wires. Replace these immediately. Only use approved lights and cords outside. NEVER use real candles on trees, and avoid smoking near a live tree. Keep small children away from small ornaments as well as glass type ornaments. Use caution around fireplaces. Keep screens and doors in place to avoid sparks or "popping" from logs. NEVER burn wrapping paper in fireplaces. Paper may throw off dangerous sparks and flash fires may result.
On behalf of the Fermilab Fire Department, we wish you a safe and happy
holiday.

December 17 - December 20 - During this 48 hour period, Operations established two stores that combined with an existing store provided approximately 19 hours and 48 minutes of luminosity to the experiments. - TeV loses two stores moments after they were established and one store just before is was to be established. - The Antiproton Source losses 4mA due to an emittance problem - Separator sparks still plague the Tevatron - The Antiproton Source suffered from Lithium lens trips

FYI: AIP Bulletin of Science Policy News, December 20, 2004 Policy Insiders on Political Involvement in 2004 As explained in FYI #160, the American Association for the Advancement of Science sponsored a morning seminar earlier this month on the impacts of last month's election. Three speakers discussed the involvement of scientists in the political process, providing their thoughts on topics ranging from negative reactions to this involvement to strategies for the coming year. This FYI is a transcript of selections from these thought-provoking presentations. read more |

From Chicago Sun-Times, December 19, 2004 State hopes to land giant science project by Jim Ritter Illinois is rolling out its big guns to land one of the grandest science labs on the nation's drawing boards.
Jim Thompson, the former governor, and Bill Daley, the former U.S. commerce secretary, this week were named to co-chair a task force that's trying to land the $1 billion Rare Isotope Accelerator.

Good Morning!
The review went extremely well. The committee found that BTeV had an achievable schedule with sufficient float. They suggested only very small changes in the cost estimate. They recommended approval of CD-2 (Approval of Performance Baseline) and CD-3a (Approval of Limited Construction), which would allow the start of construction. Baseline reviews are very serious milestones for DOE projects, and the BTeV project team made a very strong showing. Congratulations to the DOE project leadership, the collaboration, and the large number of people at the laboratory who have been working to achieve this stage of readiness. BTeV has now successfully passed all of the physics and technical reviews conducted by the Office of Science before the start of a project.
The Office of Engineering and Construction Management next conducts an External Independent Review which it needs to validate the Performance Baseline. We are hoping to receive approval of CD-2 and CD-3a for BTeV early in 2005.
