[Cuga] JLab Weekly Briefs - a message from Kandice Carter

October 7 Briefs Excerpts:

Pager System Update
Contract coverage for the current, 158-MHz pager vendor will end this  
year; there will be no pager coverage in the tunnel or halls after  
Dec. 31. Everyone with a pager will be moved to either a new 900-MHz  
pager for above-ground paging or a Sprint texting device before the  
end of the year. Sprint's texting, push-to-talk and cell phones  
already work in the halls, and CNI staffers are working to get Sprint  
coverage in the tunnel as soon as possible without impacting the  
accelerator schedule. Until Sprint is operating in the tunnel, the  
accelerator public address system will be used to contact workers in  
the tunnel. More information on the transition will be posted as the  
changeout nears.

Change in Main Phone Number for SURA Residence Facility
Effective immediately, the main phone number for the SURA Residence  
Facility is 757-223-1167. The fax number, 757-223-5430, remains  
unchanged. Users of the old number, x7460, will be transferred to the  
current Residence Facility phone number until Dec. 31. The Residence  
Facility offers overnight room accommodations for the JLab user  
community, visitors and guests. For information regarding room  
reservations, visit the facility's website.

American Red Cross Blood Drive Results
A total of 36 people signed up to donate blood, falling short of our  
goal of 56. Several people were deferred for various reasons, however,  
the Red Cross still collected 31 pints of whole blood and six  
donations of red cells using the Double Red process. Jefferson Lab  
donors made a significant contribution to the American Red Cross.  
Occupational Medicine staffers extend a sincere thank you to drive  
participants and congratulate everyone on a job well done!
