Homestead High Takes Regional Science Bowl2009 champs Homestead High School of Cupertino retook the Department of Energy Science Bowl regional championship during the tense climax to Saturday's competition, a hard-fought two-game match against last year's winners, Palo Alto High School. Crystal Springs Uplands School of Hillsborough took third place. The win earns the Homestead team a trip to the National Science Bowl competition in Washington D.C. from April 28 to May 2. Twenty teams from around the Bay Area competed at the event, which was hosted by SLAC and staffed by a dedicated group of volunteers from both SLAC and Stanford University. The participating students were also treated to a pizza lunch and SLAC tour, and appearances by two of SLAC's Nobel Laureates—Martin Perl, who presided over opening ceremonies, and Director Emeritus Burton Richter, who presented the awards. In an aside, Richter pointed out that both the first and second place teams were from public schools—an indication that public schools are still capable of providing an excellent education. During his closing remarks Richter acknowledged how much fun the day had been, and stated the true joy of science was not in learning the answers to already-solved problems, but in finding the answers to new questions. "If you stick with this career," Richter said, "I hope you have the pleasure of discovering something no one ever knew before." New Security Building Open for BusinessOver the weekend, SLAC's Security & Emergency Management Department completed their move to the new Security Building—Building 235—just inside the lab's Main Gate. If you need assistance for badging, vehicle and parking registration, new employee training, keys and more, please come by the new location, just across Loop Road from the Kavli Building. Please note that the parking lot in front of the new Security Building, nearest the Main Gate, is not yet open; finishing touches are being completed this week. If you can, please walk over from your workplace, or park in the lot behind the new building. Supply Chain Management
