August 5 Briefs Excerpts: 

Cryptocard MP-1 Token Change 
The CNI group is working on an upgrade to the Cryptocard token software currently in use at the lab. The upgrade should be complete by Thursday, Aug 6. All currently supplied hardware and software tokens should continue to work after the upgrade; however, the MP-1 (software) tokens will begin to require the use of the "-" (dash) in the generated one-time password. So, for example, if your MP-1 token on your smartphone generates a one-time password of 123-4567, then currently you can type 1234567 when using it to login. After the upgrade later this week, you must type the generated password with the displayed dash included. So, in our example above, you would type "123-4567" instead of 1234567. If you have any questions or concerns about the Cyrptocard changes, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 

Tornado Warning Siren Test Set for Friday, August 7 
Jefferson Lab's tornado warning siren will undergo its monthly operational test at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, August 7. Don't respond to the siren; this is a test of the siren system and not a personnel response exercise. Individuals planning to be in the Central Materials Storage Area (where the siren is located) while the test is taking place must have with them and wear two layers of hearing protection. 

Virginia’s Sales Tax Holiday 
Virginia will hold a Sales Tax Holiday over this weekend, Aug. 7-9, for school supplies (including some types of clothing), hurricane preparedness items, and Energy Star appliances. An overview of the exempt items may be found online: http://www.tax.virginia.gov/content/sales-tax-holiday 

Feds Feed Families Local Campaign 
The Department of Energy is again participating in the "Feds Feed Families" food drive this year. At Jefferson Lab, the Thomas Jefferson Site Office will be collecting donations from its federal employees to benefit the Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula. There is no expectation of Jefferson Lab employee participation in this program, although anyone wishing to contribute may do so. Marked donation boxes for non-perishable food items will be located in the CEBAF Center lobby August 10-31. For more information, visit the Feds Feed Families website or contact Steve Neilson at x7215. Feds Feed Families website: https://powerpedia.energy.gov/wiki/Feds_Feed_Families
