A Holiday Reminder from Fermilab's Computer Security Team | ||
| ||
|
When the holiday season approaches, we often see an increase in
attacks against our computers. These attacks range from wasteful chain
letters and hoaxes to viruses and network attacks and even so-called
"social engineering" attacks. Your computer security and incident
response teams would like to take a moment to offer a quick refresher
on digital self-defense.

Good Morning!
The effort to use the access time well made special demands on people from many parts of the laboratory, just as happened recently during the annual shutdown. For example, a team of five technicians and one welder from the Technical Division replaced all ten of the conning towers in the warmed-up C-1 sector in less than three days. The alignment group from the Particle Physics Division was called on to work through a long list of urgent jobs throughout the accelerator complex. Various Tevatron experts worked with CDF operations to develop quickly a plan for moving magnets near the experiment in order to move the beam closer to the center of the detector. The magnet moves were done over the weekend, in time to start up the Tevatron today.
Many other people responded quickly to the crisis and the
opportunity it provided to get critical work done. Thanks to all of them.

Long Term Parking Reminder Employees or Users who are going out of town, or are for any reason, leaving their vehicles on site for several days or longer, are asked to park in the long term parking lot in the Village. This lot is the gravel lot located between Shabona and Blackhawk. Snow removal efforts are much easier during the night when these vehicles are not scattered throughout our parking lots. The long term parking lot also frees up valuable parking spaces during the day. Contact Roads & Grounds at x3303 with any questions. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. |

From the Chicago Sun-Times, December 16, 2003 Coalition's work to bring in federal money is crucial ...Formed in 1989, the power players at the coalition -- corporate CEOs, university presidents and entrepreneurs -- quietly work behind the scenes to make sure federal science and technology investments show up in Illinois. That means funding for places such as Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab, and grants for our local universities. The labs alone employ about 5,400, from clerical employees and maintenance workers to Nobel Prize laureates.
Those jobs are the tip of the iceberg. The inventions coming out of the labs can be an economic elixir for Chicago if we transform them into new products and businesses.
