Therefore, all time cards are due in Payroll by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, 5 October. Please estimate hours (including overtime) for Thursday, Friday and Saturday (6Ð8 October). This timing will be crucial. The payroll accrual process will divide the payroll period in half, so any hours that should be FY 94 only (25Ð30 September), or FY 95 only (1Ð8 October) should be communicated to Ken Perrone, Finance (FL1). Please do this via a copy of the time card with an explanation of the request to charge differently than an automatic 50-percent split (for example, completed grants or beginning grants). Pay day will be Friday (14 October), as usual. Finance appreciates your help and thanks you in advance. -----Departures Rashid Akmaev, 6 September Jack Bell, 24 September Colin Bulthaup, 13 August Varaprasad Calmidi, 15 August Wendy Edwards, 16 September Jack Good, 16 September Pavel Groisman, 24 September Carla Kegley-Owen, 24 September Young Rhee, 15 September Amy Solomon, 20 September Catherine Stack, 22 September -----UCAR Fitness Centers / October 1994 Class Schedule This calendar includes all classes endorsed by the Wellness Advisory Committee.

HTML is the standard document-formatting language that the World Wide Web (WWW) uses for creating and recognizing hypermedia documents. It is related to (but not technically a subset of) the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a device-independent markup language. With the rapidly increasing popularity of the WWW browser Mosaic, HTML is becoming an important tool for personnel who produce, maintain, or distribute on- line information. Upcoming classes will be held as follows. To sign up, call the SCD course enrollment line, ext. 1225.

The shutdown will begin at 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning and continue until approximately midnight on Sunday evening. The extended shutdown hours are needed due to the extensive upgrades being done in the mechanical room (1A) of the computer room. All Mesa Lab and Fleischmann Building occupants can expect intermittent electrical, power, air circulation, water, heating and air conditioning interruptions at any time on Saturday, 8 October. On Sunday, utility system interruptions will be limited to the computer room and mechanical room 1A. All other offices, labs, and common areas will be up and functional for staff who need Sunday access. For safety reasons, access for the general public will be denied during the entire shutdown time (both Saturday and Sunday). Thank you for your cooperation and compliance with the shutdown limitations. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact John Pereira, maintenance and construction supervisor, ext. 1128. -----Cafeteria Gallery Now Open on Weekends In addition to its usual weekday hours, the Mesa Lab cafeteria art gallery is now open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays (the same hours as the ML lobby).
