The period has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 24, 5-10 p.m. During this maintenance period, Windows and Linux patches will be released to all systems and desktops. This may cause web and system outages as these servers reboot to finalize the patch installation. Plan on rebooting your desktop Windows or Linux system by Friday, Feb. 27, to finalize the patch installation, as well. Also, Firefox, Thunderbird, PuTTY, JAVA, and shockwave updates will be released. Finally, there will be short outages around 8 p.m. to all Management and Information Systems applications as servers are rebooted to finalize patch installation. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IT Division HelpDesk, x7155 or helpdesk@jlab.org.<br><br><strong>Symantec Anti-Virus Software Update On Feb. 24</strong><br>On Tuesday evening, Feb. 24, starting at around 5:30 p.m., the CNI group will be sending out an update to the Windows Symantec client on all desktops. Be aware that this Symantec update will reboot your desktop once it completes installation. For this reason, the group recommends that you log out of all Windows desktops prior to leaving on Tuesday evening. The actual installation and reboot time of your desktop will be between 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday and 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 25. If you have any questions or concerns about this update, contact the IT Division HelpDesk, <span data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: #ffffff;" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; display: inline !important; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">x7155 or helpdesk@jlab.org</span>.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div><strong>JAG Dog Training Club Class Start Date Postponed to Feb. 24</strong><br>The Jefferson Lab Activities Group Dog Training Class scheduled for Feb. 17 has been postponed to Feb. 24.

This is the time of the season for you to review and, if necessary, modify your benefits options. The enrollment will remain a default benefits enrollment, which means that if you are not changing benefits, selecting a medical option outside of the default health plan, and do not enroll in a Flexible Spending Account, you do not need to re-enroll. If you plan to make changes to your current benefit elections; to participate for the first time in a Medical Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account Plan; or continue your enrollment in a Medical Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account Plan, you will need to access the Employee Self Service System. You can find updated information on all of your enrollment options on the Human Resources Benefits webpage. Additionally, Benefits Enrollment Training and Q&A sessions are being offered. All of this information and links can be found in the All-Staff Memo: https://www.jlab.org/memo/2015-benefits-online-open-enrollment-period-jefferson-lab-underway</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;" data-mce-style="color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div><strong>JSA Accepting Applications for 2015-16 Graduate Fellowships</strong><br>Jefferson Science Associates is currently accepting applications for graduate fellowships at Jefferson Lab for the 2015-16 academic year.
