Updated 5/9/08 Symposium focuses on solar energy A symposium focusing on solar energy is scheduled for May 20 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Albuquerque. The event includes several short courses, a poster session, talks, vendor presentations, and a tour of the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies facility at Sandia National Laboratories. Note: the CINT tour is limited to U.S. citizens. Tom Bowles of the principal associate directorate for science, technology, and engineering (PADSTE), and science adviser to Gov. Bill Richardson is the keynote speaker at the symposium. Abstracts for contributed talks (solar related) and student posters (all topics) should be submitted by to jfulghum@unm.edu or ndshinn@sandia.gov by email, either as a MS Word file or in the body of the e-mail before May 14. See the Web page for more information or contact Geoff Brown of High Explosives Science and Technology (DE-1) at geoffb@lanl.gov by email. Updated 5/7/08 Diamond Drive construction continues Laboratory employees and other motorists will encounter additional possible delays on Diamond Drive as work continues on a construction project. Traffic is reduced to one lane in each direction the length of the project, from south of the Baptist Church to east of 35th Street. Left turns are now allowed within the work zone, but will require split phase traffic control at the Diamond Drive-Arkansas-38th streets intersection. North and southbound traffic on Diamond Drive will get a green light in only one direction at a time to enable left turns without having to wait for a break in oncoming traffic. This approach will reduce the intersection capacity and will most likely increase traffic back up and delays on Diamond Drive. Motorists are urged to plan for additional commute time. Employees and other motorists should follow posted speed limits and use caution when driving through the work zone. More information is available from the Los Alamos County Public Works Department Web site. Or call the Public Works Department at 662-8150, or by write to lacpw@lacnm.us by email.
