April 6 Briefs Excerpts:

Safety Reminder from Radiation Control
To minimize the intake of radioactive material by personnel, smoking, eating and chewing are not permitted in radiological areas. This is documented in the RadCon Manual, the General Access RWP and Radiation Worker I training. In addition, there are signs in work areas stating this fact. Disregarding this and similar requirements may lead to your training and authorization to work being revoked and can lead to unnecessary and possibly harmful radiation exposures.

CCPR from Anywhere
The Information Technology Division is pleased to report that the CCPR system (Computer Center Problem Reporting) is now available from offsite. This is one of the steps in an ongoing effort to improve service for the JLab community and to fully address JLab community requests that have been received both before and during the IT survey. The CCPR link can be found in the Work Request menu at the top left corner of the Computer Center webpage: https://cc.jlab.org/

Free Stock Has Furniture and Materials Available
Check out Free Stock before you order office furniture, supplies or materials for small jobs, or if you run short during a bigger job. Free Stock is located adjacent to the Stockroom in Bldg. 90, the Experimental Equipment Lab. The Free Stock inventory currently includes a variety of excess office furniture items, wiring, cabling, switches (resistors, connectors and other electronic items), fasteners (nuts, bolts and washers), and some general office supplies. Individuals with purchase accounts may access the list of Free Stock items in WebStock. In Webstock, click the Adv Search button and enter a search term.

Refresher Session: Getting Your Paper Approved for Publication
Getting ready to have a journal article published or preparing to present results from JLab research at a conference or workshop? If so, plan to attend the Publications Refresher information session on Tuesday, April 12, 9-10 a.m. in CEBAF Center Room L102/104. The session will provide attendees with an overview of the process authors follow to have their papers reviewed and approved before public distribution. The process isn't difficult, but may be confusing for new staff and students as well as for individuals who haven't submitted a paper or other type of publication in recent years. Information sessions are held quarterly. Staff, users and students are invited to attend. Email Kim Kindrew to sign up for the session. Capacity is 40.

Tracking Thomas at JLab
Congratulations to Jason Willoughby and all honorable mentions (see Briefs) for correctly identifying Thomas' location last week. Little Thomas is in a new spot this week; even if you haven't been there, you could probably still guess the location. Check out his new digs and email kcarter at jlab.org if you think you know where he is: http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/trackingthomas.html
