October 12 Briefs Excerpts:

*Computer System Maintenance Scheduled for Tuesday*

The CNI group is planning a computer systems maintenance period for 
Tuesday, Oct. 18, 5-7 p.m. During this time, patches will be released 
for Microsoft Windows, Redhat Linux and Macintosh computers. Plan to 
reboot your systems sometime on Wednesday, Oct. 19, to finalize patch 
installation. For further information, or any time you experience 
problems with your JLab computer systems, contact the IT Division 
Helpdesk, x7155.

*JLab Hand Sanitizer Available in Public Areas and for Distribution*

To minimize the spread of flu this season, large bottles of hand 
sanitizer have been placed in JLab public areas and conference rooms. In 
addition, bottles of hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes for 
disinfecting hands and common-use workplace surfaces, such as phones and 
keyboards, are also available for staff and users. These items can be 
picked up at Freestock in Bldg. 90, 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday-Friday. If you 
have any questions, call x6297, x7225 or x7233.

*United Way Campaign Pledge Forms Available Online*

The United Way annual fund-raising campaign is underway and will 
continue through Nov. 2. The lab's goal is 100 percent participation by 
staff. This is a great way to give back to our community, to help make 
our community a better place and to say "thank you" for the support this 
region has given to the lab over the years. Forms are available online, 
at the VARC, ARC and CEBAF Center front desks, in Building 85 and at the 
CEBAF Center raffle ticket table. Send your completed form and direct 
questions to Brandye Rogers, x7628, in CEBAF Center, Room B214, Mail 
Stop 12-B, by Wednesday, Nov. 2. Pledge form link:

*United Way Campaign Raffle*

A United Way fund-raising raffle for each of two 16 gigabyte iPad2 
devices is underway. Raffle tickets are $1 each and tickets may be 
purchased at the table in the CEBAF Center lobby, noon-1 p.m. on 
workdays through Wednesday, Nov. 2. Only one iPad2 may be won per 
person. The winning ticket for each iPad2 will be drawn during the JAG 
Beam Kickoff Tailgate Picnic on Nov. 2. All money collected through the 
raffle will go to the United Way to support community services.

*Informal Reception on Oct. 25 to Honor JLab's Founding Director*

JLab is celebrating the contributions and achievements of its founding 
director, Hermann Grunder, on the occasion of his 80th birthday. All 
staff, on-site users and friends are invited to join in recognizing the 
man who transformed the original concept for CEBAF from a modestly 
designed, medium-energy accelerator into a world-leading, precision 
superconducting machine capable of delivering an unparalleled nuclear 
physics research program. The celebration will begin at 3:30 p.m., with 
cake and light refreshments to follow, in the CEBAF Center atrium on 
Tuesday, Oct. 25.

*Tracking Thomas at JLab*

Congratulations this week go to Dick Owen, Connie Adams and Lamont 
Williams, who were the only people to correctly identify the Oct. 5 
location! Check out the Tracking Thomas webpage for a better view of his 
last location and this week's new mystery photo and email Kandice Carter
