August 17 Briefs Excerpts: 

New Web Traffic Protections Launch on Tuesday, Aug. 23 
Jefferson Lab uses several automated protection systems to scan web traffic for malware and viruses. The protection provided by these scans has become increasingly limited by the expanding use of encryption for web traffic on the Internet. To provide continued security for Jefferson Lab systems, starting on Tuesday, Aug. 23, Jefferson Lab will begin decrypting some web traffic for desktop systems connected via the Desktop 1 and Business Services networks. This will allow the automated processes that the lab has in place to scan this traffic and remove identified viruses and malware. Traffic from known medical and financial institutions, however, will be exempted from being decrypted, as these are generally not sites from which malware and viruses are deployed. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, the CNI group is holding two, one-hour informational meetings in CEBAF Center room F113 at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18, and Friday, Aug. 19. If you have general questions about this process, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. More specific questions should be reserved for the meetings in F113. To determine if your desktop is linked via the Desktop 1 network, visit this link from a web browser on your desktop system: https://cc.jlab.org/WhatsMyIP 

Volunteer Opportunity: United Way Day of Caring 
The 2016 United Way Day of Caring for the Peninsula will be on Friday, Sept. 9, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Jefferson Lab is offering employees the opportunity to volunteer a day of their time to work on a project for one of the participating, local health and human services organizations in Hampton Roads. Typical volunteer positions consist of community enhancement projects that encompass a myriad of activities, such as painting, landscaping and food bank assistance. If you are interested in volunteering your time on Sept. 9 or have questions about the event, email Krystina Serafini at serafini at jlab.org. To volunteer, copy your immediate supervisor on the email, who must concur with your participation, no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 26. 

Reminder: Hall C Safety Awareness Training Updated 
Due to the new configuration of Hall C, the Safety Awareness Training for the hall, SAF112, has been updated. This training will expire on Sept. 1 for anyone who last completed this training before May 1, 2016. To take the updated training, first read the document. Then, sign up for a walk-through, which is conducted on Tuesdays at 2 p.m., by contacting Joe Beaufait at x7131 or beaufait at jlab.org. 

Pick Up a Free Book or Magazine! 
Information Resources has added new library books to the free book cart. Remaining books will be disposed on Sept. 1. The library is also offering a selection of older (2005-2015) copies of scientific journals and science-related periodicals on a first-come, first-served basis through the end of August. If interested, stop by, take a look, and feel free to take what you want. A list of the available titles is published online: https://www.jlab.org/div_dept/cio/IR/library/freebies.html
