Farewell to Jane Monhart
She says that what she will miss most about Fermilab is the people. "What stands out in my mind is what a pleasure it was to work with everyone here at Fermilab," Monhart said. "I'm very, very impressed with the quality of people, and their dedication to the Fermilab mission couldn't be stronger." After leaving Fermilab, she plans to spend more time with friends and family, as well as taking time to travel. She's looking forward to a trip to Australia and New Zealand, as well as going skiing. A reception for Monhart will take place at the Kuhn Barn on January 14 at 11:30 a.m. Please RSVP by Monday, January 10th to Phyllis Metelmann, or call at 840-2522. The cost is $15 per person, and includes the retirement gift. |

From Physics Web - December 23, 2004 Highlights of the Year As the physics community gets ready to celebrate the centenary of Einstein's papers on relativity, the quantum theory of light and Brownian motion, many of PhysicsWeb's highlights of 2004 can be traced back to what Einstein did in 1905. Other highlights include evidence for ancient water on Mars, advances in low-temperature physics and the world's smallest atomic clock. read more
From Newhouse News Service - December 27, 2004 In just seven months, the scientific legend produced theories that still underpin modern physics, and that ultimately made possible such developments as the atomic bomb and global positioning technology.
To mark the 100th anniversary, the United Nations has declared 2005 the
International Year of Physics. Over its course, historians will try to breathe
life into an icon who is often reduced to caricature, while scientists struggle
to explain his impact on the modern world.

| Layering | |

What is layering? It's a good way to stay warm in cold weather. Basically, you put on a number of light- to medium-weight articles of clothing topped with a breathable shell. For times when you are less active, you can put on a heavier layer to stay warm. If you heat up, you can remove a layer to cool down.
In general, synthetic materials work best. They either wick perspiration away from your body to outer layers, or keep you reasonably warm when wet. For the first layer, you should avoid cotton. When cotton gets wet, it chills your body and dries slowly. Instead, select undergarments made from a fuzzy polyester material. The second layer usually receives the greatest use at times when you're active outside. Pants and tops made of polyester fleece should be your first choice. Fleece comes in various weights - from light (100) to dead of winter heavy (300). Wool can also be used for a durable second layer, but it tends to be heavy and less wickable. For the top layer, consider something that is both windproof and waterproof. Inexpensive nylon or vinyl is usable, but these materials trap moisture that can cool your body. The best choice is breathable waterproof rainwear. For hats and gloves, polyester fleece is again the best choice. These can be purchased with a breathable waterproof layer that provides extra protection from the elements.
Have a great day and let's work safely all week!
