May 21 Briefs Excerpts: 


Open House Photos, Please! 
Jefferson Lab’s Public Affairs staff took many photos during this year’s Open House, but we couldn’t be everywhere at once. If you took photos of the event, we’d love to see your best shots and share them with staff, users and the public. If you’re willing to share your photos, email Public Affairs at photo at jlab.org with your favorite Open House photos attached. 


New Montage 
The latest Montage by Lab Director Hugh Montgomery is now available. In this article, Mont focuses on the changes that have taken place over the last two years at Jefferson Lab. You can read it here: https://www.jlab.org/montage/latest 


Training Sessions for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing 
The Mechanical Engineering Group is developing a series of "Lunch-and-Learn" training sessions for Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) per the ASME Y14.5-2009 Standard. At this point, the group is planning to hold the sessions on Wednesdays, noon to 1 p.m. If you are interested in attending these sessions, send send an email to Tim Michalski, michalsk at jlab.org, indicating your interest in participating in the training, as well as any comments you might have. This activity will commence in the next couple of months, pending the level of interest. 


Pressure Systems Awareness Training Offered 
A training session for SAF130A, Pressure Systems Awareness, will be held on June 10 at 2 p.m. in CEBAF Center room F224-225. Registration is available through the Learning Management System. If you need this training, register and make plans to attend. LMS link: https://misportal.jlab.org/training/home.seam 


SmartCard Renewals 
If you have a Jefferson Lab SmartCard, you must renew your SmartCard by visiting the IT Division Helpdesk between June 2 and July 11. For security reasons, Jefferson Lab SmartCards expire every three years, which means they must be renewed to continue functioning. In addition, the CNI group is making other changes to the SmartCard system that will require all cards to be renewed (even if issued recently). To avoid problems and delays, be sure to have your card renewed between June 2 and July 11. Once the expiration date passes, the card will no longer work, and the user will not be able to log in to Jefferson Lab systems using the card. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155. 


Maintenance Period Scheduled for Tuesday, May 27, 5-7 p.m. 
During the maintenance period, there will be a short network outage for devices in the CEBAF Center atrium, auditorium and business offices. Network connectivity will be restored by 6 p.m. There will be a short outage of Wiki's served from wiki.jlab.org, while some underlying libraries are updated; any outage will be brief (about 5-10 minutes). Additionally, updates to Firefox, Thunderbird and Adobe Flash and Acrobat Reader will be sent out. Finally, the CNI group will release Windows and Linux patches to the site. Plan on rebooting your desktop systems on either Wednesday or Thursday, May 28-29. If you have any questions or concerns about the tasks scheduled for this maintenance period, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.
