Gilbert G. Weigand of ORNL's Computing and Computational Sciences Directorate has received the inaugural James R. Schlesinger Award from Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman for his "passion for excellence along with his ability to foster and implement the practices and values that are necessary for the protection of our nation." Weigand is credited with conceiving and implementing DOE's Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative, which pooled government programs and national laboratories to build the world's best high-performance supercomputers. High-performance computing and simulation at the ASCI level now pervade all areas of science and engineering. For significant achievements on behalf of the department, Secretary of Energy Bodman selected ORNL's Dave Felde, Ron Miskell, Jon Kreykes, Jim Sumner, Duane Starr and Alan Parker to receive the Secretary's Achievement Award. ORNL's Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence team was recognized for work in DOE's nuclear nonproliferation programs "to mitigate the risk of nuclear proliferation and international terrorism." Peter Blau has been elected a fellow of the Society of Tribologists & Lubrication Engineers, who study friction and wear in materials. Tommy Phelps has been elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, which includes basic researchers, applied researchers, teachers, university faculty, as well as public health, industrial and government service professionals. Patrick Mulholland received the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program Project of the Year Award in Washington, D.C. His project, titled "Riparian Ecosystem Management: Impacts, Restoration and Enhancement Strategies," was cited Dec. 4, 2007, at the 13th annual Partners in Environmental Technology Technical Symposium & Workshop. Edgar Lara-Curzio has been elected a fellow of the American Ceramic Society. At the 110th annual meeting of this scientific society to be held Oct. 5-9, 2008, in Pittsburgh, Pa., Andrew Wereszczak will receive the 2008 Richard M. Fulrath Award, which recognizes "outstanding academic and industrial ceramic engineers/scientists and efforts to honorably promote technical and personal friendships between Japanese and American professional ceramic engineers/scientists." Also at that meeting ORNL Corporate Fellow Paul Becher will be named the recipient of the 2008 John Jeppson Award of the American Ceramic Society, which recognizes "distinguished scientific, technical, or engineering achievements in ceramics." The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Review, ORNL's research magazine, received an award of excellence (second prize) in the magazine category of the International Technical Publications Competition of the Society for Technical Communication.
