Mini
Electric Vehicle
Getting a Test Run
Lab
citizens may have noticed a toy-like two-seater humming
around the hill this week. The mini-car is actually
an “NEV” – neighborhood electric vehicle
– being evaluated for possible addition to the
Lab fleet. The Italian “ZAP L.U.V.” plugs
into a standard 110-volt outlet for recharge. For more
information, contact Carol Earls at 6960. The
ZAP web site can be checked
out here.

Health Services
For SARS-Area Travel
Employees planning to travel to regions that have been
impacted by the SARS virus epidemic should contact Health
Services prior to departure for a discussion of potential
precautionary actions. The World Health Organization
maintains a list of affected regions on its web site
here.
In general, the Laboratory is following guidelines established
by the Centers for Disease Control and encouraging employees
to postpone trips to or through SARS-affected regions.
The CDC guidelines are here.
For questions, contact Connie Grondona at 6951. |

| Backup
Rates Reduced
For Large Data Volumes
The
Lab's centralized computer backup service has reduced
it rates for backing up large amounts of data. The new
rates are $10 per gigabyte for the first 50 gigabytes
per month, then $2 per Gbyte after that. Previously,
the cost was $10 per gigabyte regardless of the amount.
There is also a $10 per month service fee. For more
information, go to the ITSD Backups Web
