JLab has contracted with MXLogic to filter viruses and spam out of incoming e-mail. There are several methods you can employ to further curtail the amount of spam that reaches your inbox. The simplest method is to forward spam messages to <a href="mailto:spam@mxlogic.com">spam@mxlogic.com</a> - this trains the filters at MXLogic to recognize such messages as spam; it may take a few forwarded e-mails to work. Additional, more involved steps can be found on the JLab E-mail Filtration Services webpage: </span></font><a href="http://cc.jlab.org/services/email/spam.html"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">http://cc.jlab.org/services/email/spam.html</span></font></a></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; "><br></span></font></div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Performance Appraisals Update</span></font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">Supervisors have until Tuesday, Oct. 27 to meet with employees to discuss FY10 expectations and self-assessments and complete draft evaluations.

One 8-ounce bottle of hand sanitizer and 10 disinfecting wipes are available for each individual. These materials are for use in the workplace; they are not meant to be taken home. Use only as indicated on the product label. If you didn't pick up your personal allotment last week, you can obtain them from the Technical Stockroom, Bldg. 90, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday-Friday.
