Hi Everyone, Many thanks for the welcoming emails I have received. I already know some of you quite well and I am sure we'll all get to know each other much better in the coming weeks. I would also like to thank you and the committee for picking me for this very exciting and interesting job! I would like to take this opportunity to convey my appreciation to Paul, Tim, and several of you for a number of illuminating discussions. Paul and Tim will (most likely) organize an all-hands meeting next week and we can have the first of many conversations then. All the Best Salman On 1/22/19 8:31 AM, Stevens, Rick L. wrote: All, I want to provide you an update on the CPS Division Director search. The committee did an excellent job interviewing and evaluating all of the candidates. It was great to see such an excellent range and diversity of candidates come forward for the role. After reviewing all of the input and meeting with the finalists, I decided to offer the position to Salman Habib and he has accepted with an official start date of February 1, 2019. Salman will continue to support the PSC ALD in his interim role as the Deputy Division Director of HEP for transitional period as well. Official announcement will be coming out shortly but I wanted to alert you to this in advance of the lab wide announcement. Please join me in welcoming Salman to the CELS ALD as our newly selected CPS Division Director and thanking Paul Messina for his leadership as the CPS division director since taking on the role. His more than 30 years of service to Argonne is impressive and greatly appreciated. --Rick

20th Annual Procrastinators' Christmas Party
by Hovland, Paul 15 Jan '19

15 Jan '19

Finally getting this announcement out. Sorry for the delay… Laurie, Emma, and I invite you to join us for this year's Procrastinators' Christmas Party, to be held Sunday, January 27th at 2:00pm. We'll have the usual assortment of snacks and holiday sweets, along with nonalcoholic beverages (juice, soda, etc.), wine, and (seasonal and non-seasonal) beer. Children and spouses/friends are welcome. We'll have the usual grab bag (w/ stealing) gift exchange, so please bring one wrapped gift (approx. $15) per person participating in the exchange. If possible, let us know that you're coming, so we know how much food to prepare (not to worry if you don't—I always make too much anyway). We'll also have a small gift exchange for the kids not participating in the "adult” exchange. Guidelines are below. We're at 733 Metropolitan Ave, Bolingbrook. Directions are below. Google Maps and Apple Maps also know the way. Hope to see you there... Paul --- Guidelines on the kids exchange: please bring a (wrapped) gift (<$10) that would be appropriate for your own child(ren) and label it with the suitable age range and gender, e.g., Boy 10-16yrs or Boy/Girl 1-3 yrs. We'll do our best to shuffle the gifts around so your kids leave with something other than what you bring, but we'd hate to have the lone infant end up with a box of legos or a teenager end up with a baby toy. ---- Directions: From I-55: I-55 to the Weber Road exit (1st exit south of 53) North on Weber Road to Rodeo/119th St Left (west) on Rodeo to Madison (about 1 mile) [Madison is not well marked as such; there is, however, a big sign for Southgate Park; it's just past a church; if you get to the golf course, you've gone too far.] Right (north) on Madison to Park Place (road tees) Left (west) on Park to Metropolitan (1st right) Right (north) on Metropolitan to 733 733 is a grey house with burgundy shutters on the left with a 3 car garage [you might see our neighbor's mailbox, #734; ours is behind it]
