ANNOUNCEMENTS 



October Shutdown 

After discussion with several faculty members, we have scheduled the week of October 11, 2010, for our semiannual shutdown. Please note that this will not be a major shutdown like we performed this spring – that was the five-year shutdown. We expect the laboratories and cleanroom to be down for three days – Tuesday through Thursday. The ultrapure water, however, may be down all week. 

Thank you for your cooperation during this necessary preventive maintenance activity.
