There will be a systems maintenance period on Tuesday evening, 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. During this time, there will be a brief (about 10 minute) phone outage in CEBAF Center wings A, B, and the second floor of F wing. All computers connected through the phones will continue to work. Patches for all managed Linux and Windows systems will also be released. There will also be short outages of system services overnight while systems are rebooted to finalize patch installation. Finally, plan on rebooting your desktop computer no later than Friday, May 20, by close of business. If you have any questions or concerns regarding these outages, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155. 

Workshop: Strategies for Planning, Developing, and Writing Large Team Grants 
Karen Eck, Assistant Vice President for Research in the Office of Research at Old Dominion University, will address issues faced by researchers in transitioning from smaller group or individual grants to larger team grants, which offer unique challenges and are more complex to plan, develop and write. Learn about strategies for developing competitive partnership proposals and about project management essentials, such as starter templates, the elements of a successful narrative and "red team" reviews, as well as scheduling and task assignments for proposal planning. The workshop will take place Friday, May 20, 10 a.m.-noon in CEBAF Center room F224-225. No advance registration is required. 

Run-A-Round T-Shirts Available for Distribution and Special Order until May 20 
This year’s winning design was submitted by the Diversity Committee and is titled “Diverse in Community, United in Science.” Run-A-Round volunteers — you worked hard — don’t forget to redeem your vouchers at the front desk of CEBAF Center for your free T-shirt. Users and staff who participated in the run are also encouraged to submit their bib T-shirt coupon (eligible if there is a colored sticker with the word “rainbow” attached). Also available for purchase, at very reasonable prices, are T-shirts in sizes XS to 4XL in styles for men, kids, women v-neck, and hoodie sweatshirts (zip and non-zip). Come by the front desk to see samples and fill out an order form. 

Last Chance to Provide Your Feedback on the 2016 Jefferson Lab Open House 
The efforts of hundreds of volunteers, exhibitors and subcontractors enabled more than 12,000 visitors to experience the science, technology and research that Jefferson Lab has to offer. These record-breaking crowds stretched the site to the limits, and we appreciate all of the efforts that our volunteers put into helping the crowds negotiate the site. We're looking for your feedback on your Open House experience, so that we can improve it for everyone for future events. The anonymous survey is available via SurveyMonkey. It's available to anyone associated with Jefferson Lab staff, Users, family or friends who volunteered for or attended the event. Link:
