June 17 Briefs Excerpts: 

Central File Server Outage Set for Friday, June 26, 6-10 p.m. 
There will be an outage of the /home (J: drive) file server on Friday, June 26, 6-10 p.m. During this time, this important file server will be undergoing a major operating system upgrade, and many services may be unavailable. In particular, access to all of the login servers, including login, jlabl*, publ*, and other login servers will have issues while the home directory is offline. Note that CUE (Common User Environment) level 1 Linux systems may need to be rebooted after the outage to clear up any lingering mount issues, so plan your work accordingly. If you have any comments or concerns, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 

Personal Dosimeter Change Out Set for Wednesday, July 1 
Jefferson Lab's semi-annual personal dosimeter change out will take place during the afternoon of Wednesday, July 1. This includes the dosimeters of all staff, students, users and subcontractors. Be sure to put your dosimeter in its assigned place in the dosimeter racks no later than 2 p.m. on July 1. If you need to use your dosimeter during the change out period on July 1, you may exchange it that morning in the Radiation Control Dosimetry Office located in the ARC Library between 8 a.m.-1 p.m. If you are leaving for an extended Independence Day holiday break, be sure to put your dosimeter in its assigned rack before departing. If you have any questions about the change out, contact Becky Mosbrucker at becky at jlab.org or x7236. 

Jefferson Lab Prepares for Hurricane Season 
Hurricane Season is June 1 - Nov. 30. Jefferson Lab observes the season by elevating its preparedness level to Hurricane Preparedness Condition 1 (HPC-1) on June 1. Everyone at the lab has a basic preparedness responsibility: Ensuring that their work area is kept free of hazards and that housekeeping is a priority each work day. This helps us to more quickly prepare the lab for a hurricane or any other severe weather event and also gives us more time to prepare our families and homes. Understanding and being prepared for a hurricane can saves lives and property and reduce injuries. The linked All-Staff Memo has important information about personal and Jefferson Lab hurricane preparedness planning. Take a moment now to review the material so that you are ready before the next big storm: https://www.jlab.org/memo/jlab-prepares-2015-hurricane-season 

Graduate Students Sought for Tour Program 
The Public Affairs office is seeking graduate students who are interested in working as tour escorts during lab tours. In addition to learning about other areas of the lab, meeting new people and practicing your public speaking skills, students can receive payment for assisting as tour escorts and/or tour subject matter speakers. For more information about this program, see the All-Staff Memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/grad-students-sought-lab-tour-program
