Please congratulate Dr. Demos Kazanas for his election to Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS). The
citation reads "For diverse contributions to Astrophysics, ranging from a
1980 independent resolution, of the cosmological horizon problem using the
vacuum energy of spontaneously broken gauge theory -- to the recent idea
that AGN appearance depends on the properties of MHD winds launched from
their accretion disks."

Plans for the second annual science jamboree on June 2nd are progressing well. Please keep this day open on your calendars and avoid scheduling other meetings the same day! This will be a great opportunity to mix and mingle with your colleagues and see all the exciting science we lead at the center.
Last fall, September 12, 2008, Dr. Elihu Boldt passed away. Dr. Boldt was the first head of the X-ray Astrophysics Branch in the Laboratory of High Energy Astrophysics. Some who worked with him are honoring his memory with talks on subjects that he worked on or to which their work has evolved in a half day symposium on the morning of Nov. 6.
