"Great People Working Together for Great Science" is the motto of today's
lab-wide party, which starts at 3:30 p.m. in Wilson Hall. To win
one of the door prizes, please bring your invitation (the orange postcard
or a printout of the email to users) and drop it in the drum
for the drawings near One West. Drawings will be held every half
hour beginning at 4 p.m., and you need to be present to win.
Displays with plenty of photos will highlight achievements of the
past year as well as life at the lab over the last 35 years. The
party, sponsored by URA, will feature food provided by Buona Catering,
and Eurest Dining will serve beverages. The Chicago Hot Six and DJ
Paul Gentry will take turns playing music until 6:30 p.m. The members
of the party committee hope to see you in the atrium!

ICFA Announces Launch of Technology Recommendation Process for Future
Linear Collider
Batavia, Ill.--The International Committee for Future Accelerators,
chaired by physicist Jonathan Dorfan, director of the Stanford Linear
Accelerator Center, yesterday (November 19) announced the membership and
chair of the 12-person International Technology Recommendation Panel.
The ITRP, with four members each from Europe, North America and Asia, is
charged with recommending which of two leading accelerating technologies
will form the best choice for a future international linear collider. A
technology decision is required in order to commence an international
design for the future accelerator.

From AAAS R&D Funding Update November 19, 2003
Energy Bill Authorizes Increased DOE Science Funding
On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate
agreed to final passage of the $27.3 billion Energy and
Water Development Appropriations bill for FY 2004. The legislation
is now cleared for the President's signature. With an increase of
4.3 percent for DOE's Office of Science, the bill provides
$3.2 billion for non-defense science research and development,
about $131 million above the President's budget request.
The energy bill authorizes $3.785 for the Office of Science for FY2004,
but the actual money appropriated is $333 million less. The bill authorizes a
funding increase of 76 percent from FY04 to FY08, but this only represents
suggested funding levels. Actual funding will be determined year by year.

Recreation Holiday Tip of the Day
Holidays are times when people remember important or happy occasions,
while looking forward to the future. But if there's been a death in
the family, serious illness, or other concerns, the holidays can
magnify feelings of isolation, loss, and loneliness. Realize it
isn't going to be easy; just do the best you can. Be sure to take
care of your needs by getting enough rest and exercise.
