The Computing and Networking Infrastructure group (CNI) has come up with a way to manage the energy settings on Windows desktop systems. On March 23, the laboratory will begin reducing its power draw (without impacting its mission) by putting Windows desktop computers into standby or sleep mode when they are not in use for long periods of time or not used after work hours. Many computer users already do this themselves both during and after hours, but now the CNI group is going to make the process easier and the results of the power management program measurable.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The program will work like this: after 5:30 p.m. everyday, if there is no mouse or keyboard activity for 30 minutes on a Windows desktop system, the computer will automatically go into standby mode. The computer can be awakened by either mouse movement or pressing any key on the keyboard. To minimize impact on those who choose to log in to their systems remotely after hours, users will still have offsite access to their computer systems. These users can log in to <a href="https://cc.jlab.org/wakeonlan">https://cc.jlab.org/wakeonlan</a> to wake their systems before attempting to remotely log into their onsite desktop. All systems in standby mode will be awakened for overnight patch installations and virus scans.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">For the next few weeks, the JLab CNI group will implement these power management settings on select systems for testing and evaluation. They will implement the program for all Windows desktop systems sitewide, excluding mission critical systems and servers, on March 23.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">For more information, visit the website: <a href="http://cc.jlab.org/docs/services/windows/PowerManagement.htm">http://cc.jlab.org/docs/services/windows/PowerManagement.htm</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">*******************</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">To access the full version of the JLab Weekly Briefs, visit: <a href="http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/index.html">http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/index.html</a></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">March 10 Briefs Excerpts:</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Physics and Forensics Colloquium and Public Lecture Today</span></font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">A colloquium on the connections between physics and forensics will take place today at 3:30 p.m. in the CEBAF Center auditorium. John A. Reffner, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, will show how physics underlies many of the tools of the trade that are used in forensic science. He will give a general introduction to the forensic science field, with examples drawn from his personal experience solving cases.</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;"><br></span></font></div><div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">Education Seeks Mentors for Summer Programs Participants</span></font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">The Science Education staff is seeking summer projects appropriate for a high-achieving high school student or for a small group of dedicated science teachers.
