Planting and Music at Memorial for Carmenita Moore | ||
| ||
|
A Princess Diana Serviceberry tree was planted on May 5 during a memorial ceremony
for Carmenita Moore, a Fermilab employee of 18 years who died on
March 21 after a long struggle with cancer.
Moore was a foster parent for two young children. She was especially active in the lab's Graduate Engineering for Minorities program, and in the Summer Internships in Science and Technology program for minority students.
Moore, who began working at the lab as an intern prior to her career in the Computing Division, was a lover of flowers and music. The memorial service included vocal performances by Pierrick Hanlet of MINOS ("Crossing the Bar," based on a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, set to music by Tennyson contemporary Joseph Barnby) and Karen Owen of the Fermilab Singers ("Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"). Mike Becker of Roads and Grounds recommended the Princess Diana Serviceberry and supervised the planting, and Roads and Grounds will maintain the tree.

May 14 - May 17 - During this 72 hour period Operations established three stores. Those stores, along with an existing store, provided approximately 44 hours and 58 minutes of luminosity to the experiments. - Booster had two serious problems with ORBMP - Two TeV stores suffer from a multi-house quench and an abort due to a vacuum problem. - Pbar stacking halted due to a target shutter getting stuck and due to a power supply problem.

From the New York Times, May 17, 2004 A Visa Quagmire Security measures enacted after the 9/11 terrorist attacks are impeding the inflow of scientific talent that helps energize American universities and industries. Heightened security reviews required before visas can be issued to foreign students, scientists and engineers have generated massive backlogs of applications and discouraged some of the best and brightest. If the red tape is not untangled soon, it could cause long-term harm to America's universities and high-tech industries. read more |

From Stanford Daily, May 17, 2004 Caltech physicist brings relativity to packed Braun The waves of the future are gravitational, physicist Kip Thorne told an audience of physicists and the public last Friday night. He explained that new detectors of gravitational waves will soon allow scientists to understand the beginning of the universe and intricacies of relativity Einstein never predicted. read more |
Good Morning!
The U.S. first became the world's scientific leader in the 1930s when it welcomed the best scientists from around the world. Unless a better process for reviewing visas is developed, we will see an adverse change in the research environment here and at laboratories and universities across the country.
Some say that we should solve this problem by influencing more of the
best American students to become scientists and engineers. That
is a good thing to do, but we must also return to a more open
international research environment. For the U.S. to remain
the world's leader in science, we must compete successfully for
the best scientific talent around the world and get
more of the best American students to become scientists and engineers.
