Laboratory Moves into Normal Work Mode
As of Monday November 15, the Laboratory has moved from a
‘restricted work’ status into a ‘normal work’ mode.
By Jonathan Dorfan
Following the serious electrical accident on October 11,
2004, I created restrictions in the workplace. These restrictions have now
been lifted and this past Monday the Laboratory staff resumed ‘normal
work’ activities.
In resuming normal work, there are revised processes and
procedures that govern the way we carry out electrical work and
hoisting/rigging. These processes and procedures are designed to ensure
that SLAC will continue to have a safer workplace and strong ownership by
the full ‘line’ for safety in the workplace.

Anthrax Hijacks Its Way into Human Cells
By Heather Rock Woods
 X-ray images taken at SSRL have revealed how anthrax
hijacks important cell machinery to enter and destroy human cells. The
results give a clearer picture of how anthrax works and bring researchers
closer to developing a therapy against anthrax infection as well as a new
cancer therapeutic.

ILC Team Building Starts at KEK Workshop
By Neil Calder
Over 200 physicists and engineers from Asia, Europe and
the Americas, including 21 people from SLAC, met at the KEK High Energy
Physics Laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan, to explore rapid development of a
conceptual design of the International Linear Collider (ILC).
Originally conceived as a meeting for some 30 people,
the organizers were overwhelmed with requests to participate. The
enthusiasm for this new project was clear throughout the meeting.
