Berkeley Lab scientist-engineer Tony Hansen and his
frequent research trips to Antarctica are featured in this
month's edition of the Engineering Division's "Significant
Events Report." The issue also includes a story on the
dedication of the Coherent Scattering Chamber at ALS Beamline
12.0.2 and a message from Division Director Jim Triplett on
how the division is coping with reductions in force. The on-line
newsletter, which highlights news and features from division
staff, can be read here.

Beware
of New “Fizzer” Worm
A
new Windows- targeting worm called “Fizzer” has
made its way into Lab computers. "Fizzer" not only
damages the computer’s systems, it also uses those infected
systems to install backdoor programs, including a mail engine
that sends infected messages to other machines. “Fizzer”
can also spread via KaZaA and chat channels. "We now
have reports from multiple Windows machines here at the Lab
indicating that Norton AV has detected and eradicated “Fizzer,”
says Gene Schultz of the Lab’s Computer Protection Program.
“Notify your system administrators to update the anti-virus
software on Windows machines immediately. Go here
to get information concerning how to clean up a machine infected
by “Fizzer.” |

| National
Threat Level
Rises to Secon 2
As
the country moved yesterday to a national threat level
of orange --high risk of a terrorist attack -- Berkeley
Lab moved its own security condition (Secon) to Level
2. This means emergency personnel have been put on alert,
security patrols will be increased, identification at
the gates will have to be verified with parking permit
or employment badge, and random vehicle inspections
will be conducted. The Office of Homeland Security's
announcement yesterday can be read here. |

Personnel
Policy Changes
Posted for Comment
The
Laboratory proposes to modify several of its personnel
policies to clarify language in several areas,
delete provisions that are no longer applicable,
and conform to recent changes in the law. A summary
of these changes may be found here
with links to each of the proposed changes. These
changes affect nonrepresented employees only.
Represented employees should review their union
agreements or contact their union representatives
for information regarding their situation. Those
who wish to comment on these changes must do so
by e-mail or in writing by June 20 to Mary Bishop,
Policies Analyst, at MS 937R0600, or [email protected]. |

Encryption
Course
To Be Offered June 12
Due
to popular request, Berkeley Lab's Encryption Fundamentals
course will be offered again on June 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
in Bldg. 50B-4205. A description of the course can be found
here.
There is no charge for attending, and employees can enroll
on-line here. |

| Traffic
Note Clarified
In
the traffic safety brochure distributed to employees yesterday,
reference was made to potential congestion due to the movement
of truckloads of dirt at the proposed Molecular Foundry. Though
excavation for the building will involve a significant amount
of soil, all of that soil will remain and be re-used on-site. |
