Learn to say when
Chip turned the rented four-wheel drive Chevy Blazer off the road and into an open field. The three of us, Chip, Andy, and myself, were in Florida on a spur-of-the-moment road trip. We had met Andy at the drop zone, where he'd been trying out for a skydiving team. Now the three of us were on our way to Orlando. It had rained the day before. We started to tear through the field, when the right wheels slipped into a ditch.
Chip rocked the truck, backward and forward. The right wheels sunk deeper. Andy hopped out of the truck, looked around, and then climbed back in. "We're stuck," he said.
"I've got my cell phone," I said. "I'll call for help...."
Chip and Andy stared at me.
"You said you wanted an adventure," Chip said. "Well, this is it."
We all got out of the Blazer. The right wheels were entrenched in a ravine, and a large log was jammed into the underside of the vehicle. Andy had a plan. We'd each try to find boards or wood that could be placed under the wheels. We returned twenty minutes later. The guys propped the wood under the tires. Chip got in the truck. The engine revved. The wheels spun. Mud sprayed. The truck didn't move.
"I could call a tow truck," I offered again.
About one-quarter mile away from the field was an intersection that promised,at least eventually, some passerby. We tromped to the intersection and waited. Before long, we flagged down an old cadillac with a man and a young woman in it.
The man promised to return in a few minutes with his truck and his brother.
About fifteen minutes later, the two men and the woman appeared in a truck. They hooked a chain to the Blazer. Then they got in their truck and drove slowly away. They revved their engine. Mud sprayed. Then snap, the chain broke.
We looked at their truck. We looked at the stuck, muddy Blazer. We looked at the broken chain.
"Sorry," the two men said.
"Thanks for trying," we said. "Try calling a tow place," the taller of the two men said. "They'll come and get you out."
Andy, Chip, and I got back into the stuck truck.
"Well," I said. "Are you ready to call a tow truck now?"
The truck arrived. The professional tower had us out in fifteen minutes, and we were on our way to Orlando. We had been stuck for more than six hours. The entire time, we all knew what we had to do to get out: call the tow truck. For a variety of reasons, we didn't want to do that until we got tired of being stuck.
Sometimes, getting stuck is the adventure at hand. We might not know what to do to move forward. Or we may be enjoying the drama of being stuck. We may be stuck in a grinding situation in a relationship. We may be at a plateau in our career. We may be stuck in our spiritual growth. We may have at one time liked and wanted to be where we've found ourselves, but now it's time to move on.
Learning to say when-- whether it's when we want something more, or something else, or when we've had enough-- is an important part of using the language of letting go.
God, help me remember that I have the power to say when.

Say when it's enough
"Say when," my friend says as she refills my glass, meaning she wants me to tell her when I have enough juice.
Saying when is a simple idea that we can use in our daily lives, as well. Sometimes there is no visible end to the troubles that beset us, and all we can do is seek shelter from the storm. But often, it's up to us to decide when we have had enough. An irritant might be just a minor inconvenience for a while, but the longer it lingers, the more irritating it becomes. Say when. Say that you have had enough, and refuse to let the irritant into your life anymore.
A draining person can latch on to a sympathetic ear. Know when that person is starting to take more than we are willing to give. Say when. The same can also be true of good things. Some of my friends like to make five, seven, and even ten or more skydives in a single day. I don't. I love the sport, but I also know when it becomes too much of a good thing for me. I say when.
Be aware of how much your cup can hold. When you have had enough, say when.
God, help me know and respect my limits.

Say when it's too much
I was sitting at the bus stop many years ago watching impatiently for the bus. I had been patient for so long-- taking the bus to the grocery store, lugging big bags of groceries home. Whenever I found myself feeling irritated about not having a car, I'd be grateful. I'd be grateful that I was sober and that I could get around. I'd be grateful for all the good things in my life.
Yet, it was getting harder and harder to be grateful.
The bus finally arrived, and I bustled my way on with my heavy bags, then lugged them the two blocks to my apartment after the bus dropped me off. I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't help it that day.
"God, I'm getting sick of walking and taking the bus," I said. "I'm tired of this. How much longer do I have to wait to get a car?"
Within two months, I was driving an automobile.
It's important to be grateful. But sometimes, repressing our emotions and not saying how we feel about a situation is a form of trying to control the situation,too. We think if we hold our breath, don't complain, and do everything right, the universe will just benevolently give us what we want.
Is there some situation in your life that you've been hoping would magically get better if you bit your lip and wished long enough? If you've started playing the waiting game in a particular situation, tell yourself how you really feel.
Maybe it's time to say when.
God, help my forgive myself for having needs and desires.

Know when to say no
Saying no is another way of saying when. For some of us, the hardest word in the language to speak is the short, simple word no. Instead of saying no, we toil on. What will he think if I say no? Mary won't be my friend if I don't do this. The project won't get done unless I do it. I'm not a team player when I say no. A good Christian needs to sacrifice himself. Saying no is selfish. And the list goes on. We abuse ourselves, take on more than we want, and find ourselves bitter and resentful. And we've done it to ourselves.
Know your limits. Know when to say no. There may be a few people who are offended by the limits that you set, but usually those are the ones trying to control or manipulate you. Some well-meaning colleagues may tell you that you're being selfish, but your ultimate responsibility is to yourself. That responsibility includes knowing how and when to set limits.
Look at your schedule. Are you so overloaded or booked that you can't see when you could have any time for fun, relaxing, or your own personal growth? It may be time for you to start setting limits. Remember, you get to decide what's best for you.
Learn to say no and stand by your choice.
God, help me to have the strength to set reasonable limits for myself and to tell others when I cannot help them. Help me learn to say no.

Learn when to say no or yes
Read the following sentences out loud.
"No, this doesn't work for me."
"No, thank you. This doesn't feel right for me at this time."
Now try this.
"I have to think about that first, before I can decide, I'll get back to you later."
"I've thought about it, and the answer is no."
Now, read this.
"I know I said yes and that this was what I wanted. But I've changed my mind. This isn't working out for me. It's not right for me anymore. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I might have caused you."
Now, this.
"Go away and don't call anymore."
See, you can say all those things you thought you couldn't.
Now, read these sentences out loud.
"Maybe, but I'm leaning toward no."
"Maybe. It sounds interesting, but I'm not sure."
"Yes. That would be nice."
"Yes, I'd love to."
"Yes, but the time isn't right for me now."
Those are your basic choices, with a few variations. Learn them. Memorize them. Then ask yourself when each answer applies.
Learn to honestly tell people what your real answer is. Look into your heart to decide when a thing is, or isn't, right for you.
God, help me trust myself about when it's right to say no, maybe, and yes. Then help me express myself in an honest, loving way.
Activity: Do you have a difficult time expressing yourself? What is the most difficult thing for you to tell people-- no or yes? Try giving yourself permission by writing yourself a permission slip, then carrying it around in your purse or wallet. It might read something like this: Dorothy has permission to say no whenever she wants. Or it might read: I have permission to say no ten times this week, and yes five times. Then sign the slip, and let it be a reminder to you to own your power by saying no, yes, maybe whenever each of those answers is right for you.

Say when it's worn out
Throw it away when it wears out.
John and Al were talking one day about a mutual friend, someone they both knew and liked. "Mark thinks he has to be in pain all the time," John said. "He defines himself by his resentments. He's always angry, always upset, and so deeply concerned about how terrible and tragic life is that he's always pulling out his hair and wailing about life. I'm worried about him," John said.
"Let him go," Al said. "People need to wear things out. They need to take their time wearing out their beliefs and attitudes before they're ready to throw them away. You've needed your time to do this. So have I. Give Mark the time he needs-- however long that is-- to wear his beliefs out too."
Are you attached to any beliefs that are sabotaging your life-- beliefs about your ability to be happy, joyous, and free? Life is a journey through places, through people, and through our beliefs. We wear these beliefs out one by one, shedding them and making room for a little more light.
Give other people the time and freedom to wear out their beliefs. Give yourself that freedom,too.
Right now, this moment, you're wearing out a belief. Look around at your life. Trust where you are. Trust what you're going through. Some belief is wearing thin right now, as you read this. Say when it's time to throw out that belief.
You are loveable. You are beautiful, just as you are. You have a purpose. There's a plan for your life. You can take care of yourself. You can think, feel, and solve your problems. Sometimes life is hard, but it doesn't have to be a struggle. And it doesn't have to hurt that much and that long. Not anymore. You can detach, and you can detach in love.
Look in the mirror for a few minutes. Instead of just being honest with yourself about what you see, be honest with yourself about what you believe about who you see.
God, help me let go of my limiting and sabotaging beliefs.

Say when it's time to stop coping
In her book Recovering from the Loss of a Child, author Katherine Fair Donnelly writes of a man whose infant daughter Robyn, died from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).The child had died in the stroller, while the mother was out walking her. Th father had stopped to get a haircut that day and was given a number for his turn.
"It was something he never did again in future years," Donnelly wrote. "He would never take a number at the barber's and always came home first to make sure everything was all right. Then he would go and get a haircut. It became one of the ways he found of coping."
I hate "coping." It's not living. It's not being free. It reeks of "surviving."
But sometimes it's the best we can do, for a while.
Eight years after my son died, I was signing the papers to purchase a home. It was the first home I had bought since his death. The night before he died, I had also signed papers to buy a new home. I didn't know that I had begun to associate buying a home with his death, until I noticed my hand trembling and my heart pounding as I finished signing the purchase agreement. For eight years, I had simply avoided buying a home, renting one less-than-desirable place after another and complaining about the travails of being a renter. I only knew then that I was "never going to buy another house again." I didn't understand that I was coping.
Many of us find ways of coping. As children,we may have become very angry with our parents. Having no recourse, we may have said to ourselves, "I'll show them. I'm never going to do well at music, or sports, or studies again." As adults, we may deal with a loss, or death, by saying, "I'm always going to be nice to people and make them happy. Then they won't go away." Or we may deal with a betrayal by saying, "I'm never going to open my heart to a woman or man again."
Coping often includes making an incorrect connection between an event and our behavior. It may help us survive, but at some point our coping behaviors usually get in our way. They become habits and take on a life of their own. And although we think we're protecting ourselves or someone we love, we aren't.
Robyn didn't die because her father took a number and waited to get his hair cut.
My son didn't die because I bought a new house.
Are you keeping yourself from doing something that you really want to do as a means of coping with something that happened to you a long time ago? Cope if you must, if it helps save your life. But maybe today is the day you could set yourself free.
God, show me if I'm limiting myself and my life in some way by using an outdated coping behavior. Help me know that I'm safe and strong enough now to let that survival behavior go.

Say when something triggers you
How do you defend yourself when you feel angry and hurt?
When Sally was a child, she lived with disturbed parents. They said mean, hurtful things to her much of the time. She wasn't allowed to say anything back, and she especially wasn't allowed to say how angry and hurt she felt.
"The only way I could deal with anger was by going numb and telling myself I didn't care-- that the relationship wasn't important," Sally said. "Then I carried this behavior into my adult life. I learned to just go cold when I felt angry or hurt. I automatically shut down and pushed people away. One hint of feeling hurt or angry, and boom-- I was gone."
It's important to know our boundaries. It's even more important not to allow people to be reckless with our hearts. It's also important to know how hurt and anger trigger our defenses.
Do you have an instant reaction, not to other people, but to your own feelings of being betrayed, hurt, or angered? Do you shut down? Lose your self-esteem? Do you "go away" from yourself or others? Do you counterattack?
Feelings of hurt and anger will arise in the course of most relationships. Sometimes when we feel that way, it's a warning that we need to beware. Other times it's a minor incident, something that can be worked out. You may have needed to protect yourself once, a long time ago. But now it's okay to be vulnerable and let yourself feel what you feel.
Say when something triggers you and learn how you defend yourself.
God, help me become aware of how I protect myself when I feel hurt, angry, and attacked. Give me the courage to be vulnerable and learn new ways of taking care of myself.

Say when it's too much compassion
Sometimes, it's easy to step across the line and have too much compassion for the people in our lives. Although compassion is good, too much compassion can cripple the people we're trying to love. We understand so clearly how they feel that we don't hold them accountable for themselves. Too much compassion can hurt us,too. We can wind up feeling victimized by and resenting the people we're experiencing too much compassion toward. We're so worried about their feelings that we neglect our own.
Too much compassion means we don't believe in others enough to let them do what they need to do to help themselves. It's a way of telling them, "You can't." You can't handle your reality. You can't learn your lessons. You can't handle the truth, so I'll treat you like a helpless child.
Too much compassion can leave us prey to victimization and manipulation. We're so worried about how the other person feels that we neglect to take care of ourselves.
Here are some guidelines about compassion.
. If we're creating a problem for ourselves to solve someone else's dilemma, we've probably crossed that line.
. If we're so worried about another person's pain that we're neglecting our own wmotions, we've probably over-involved.
. If guilt is the underlying motive for our behavior, maybe what we're practicing isn't compassion.
The lesson here isn't to stop caring about others. Instead, we need to respect other people's right to learn their own lessons.
Too much of anything isn't a good thing. If we've crossed that line into too much compassion, we can step back into the safe zone and use a lighter touch.
God, show me if I'm harming someone in my life-- a parent, child, or friend-- by smothering that person with too much compassion.

Say when it's time to stop sabotaging yourself
Jenny sat down in the comfortable armchair in the small, pleasantly lit office. The man sitting across from her looked like a normal, friendly man-- not at all like she imagined a psychic would look. She relaxed and began to tell him why she was there.
"I don't usually visit psychics, but I'd like some information and guidance about the relationship I'm in now," she said. "The guy I'm seeing is a great guy. I'm really in love with him."
The psychic didn't have to be psychic to know that a "but" was coming next. He had heard the story many times before.
"But," Jenny said, " he's a drug dealer. But it's only marijuana. And he doesn't use himself. And he's just doing it long enough to make enough money to start his own business. Go legitimate, you know."
After rambling for a while, she stopped. "So," she asked the psychic, "what do you think?"
"You don't need a psychic to tell you to get out as fast as you can," he said, giving her money back. "It's obvious. The relationship is doomed."
As in Jenny's situation, it's easy to see the ridiculously obvious faulty thinking in our friends and people we're close to. Sometimes it's harder to see our own faulty thinking and blind spots.
"I love her, but she's married." "I love him, but he's a cocaine addict." "I love him, but I know he sleeps around a lot."
While many people enjoy the benefits from seeking intuitive spiritual guidance at some time in their lives, there are many times we can easily tell our own future. Stop sabotaging yourself. Listen to what you're saying. Listen to the but's, to the words that come out of your own mouth. Yes, some drug dealers do reform. Yes, people recover from cocaine addiction every day. Yes, people with long histories of infidelity do stop sleeping around. And some married people do get divorced and marry those with whom they had affairs.
Some people win the lottery-- every day. But more people never win the lottery.
Sometimes we're blindsided by events that couldn't possibly be foreseen. Sometimes it's easy to predict trouble. Whenever possible, save yourself the pain and heartache inevitably coming around the bend.
Stop sabotaging yourself. Be your own psychic. Listen to what your saying, and give yourself the same basic advice you'd give to a friend. You may be the exception to the rule, but probably not.
God, help me let go of my blind spots, the ones that cause me to sabotage my own happiness and well-being.

"The PC is dead!" We've heard that message a lot since the birth of Apple's iPad, but when one of the creators of IBM's first PC added his voice to the chorus, people took notice.
On the 30th anniversary of the IBM PC running Microsoft's MS-DOS, IBM CTO and PC co-designer Mark Dean said PCs are "going the way of the vacuum tube, typewriter, vinyl records, CRT, and incandescent light bulbs."
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
IN PICTURES: Evolution of the PC
While that seems a bit far-fetched, or at least premature, Network World was able to get a second opinion from another IBM luminary during this week's LinuxCon event in Vancouver, British Columbia. Irving Wladawsky-Berger, a 41-year veteran of IBM and one of Linux's biggest champions at Big Blue, said he agrees that the PC is dead -- but only in the same sense that the mainframe is dead.
The mainframe still makes tons of cash for IBM, but it's no longer the center of innovation. IBM sold off its PC business in 2005, but the PC does and will continue to make tons of cash for other companies, even though it will no longer be the center of innovation, Wladawsky-Berger said during an interview.
"I've thought a lot about it, and it depends what you mean by dead," he said. "This is very important. If you ask me, 'Are mainframes dead?' I would say, well we just announced the new z10 last year, and look at IBM's earnings. For a dead product it's making a lot of money. However, if you ask me, 'Are the mainframes the center of innovation for the IT industry?' I would say that would be lovely but we lost that years ago, at least in the late '80s when client servers came in."
IBM ditched its own PC business -- a move HP is making as well -- in part because it saw that the PC was becoming a legacy platform, Wladawsky-Berger said.
"We saw this coming, that PCs would become more of a legacy platform where you can still make tons of money but the bulk of the innovation will now happen in the mobile platforms, smartphones and tablets, and things like that," he said. Luckily, the advances in mobile platforms could apply to PCs and improve them.
"As happened with mainframes, you can integrate those innovations back into the legacy platforms," he said. "Mainframes run Java, mainframes run Linux, mainframes became IP-enabled."
HP said "the tablet effect is real" in explaining its willingness to leave the PC business.
Still, Wladawsky-Berger said there's no reason to feel sorry for Microsoft. "[Microsoft] will continue to be a gigantic cash generation machine for many years to come. It's just not dominant," he said.

Day One: Edinburgh to Loch Ness
We leave Scotland's capital and head past the historic Stirling, home to legends such as William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and scene of many of Scotland's most famous and bloody battles in the Wars of Independence. We continue north through dramatic Glencoe, the "Weeping Glen" and site of the infamous massacre of 1692. Continuing north to the Great Glen and under the shadow of Ben Nevis we arrive at Fort Augustus on the shores of Loch Ness.
Day Two: Isle of Skye
Today we explore the 'winged isle' or 'Isle of Mist' with its ruined castles, awesome scenery and home to the legendary MacLeod and MacDonald Clans. Immersed in Celtic myths and Viking legends, hear tales abound with faeries and fights, we explore the windswept landscape and brooding Red and Black Cuillin Mountain ranges. There is also the chance for a hike through this stunning environment before we return to the mainland past the beautiful Eilean Donan Castle.
Day Three: Loch Ness to Edinburgh
We follow the entire length of Loch Ness, searching for a glimpse of the legendary beast. Journeying on through Inverness, capital of the Highlands, we head for the sweeping and eerie Culloden Moor, sight of the defeat of Bonne Prince Charlie's Jacobite uprising. Heading south we make our way to Dunkeld with its mighty Cathedral and through Macbeth country before crossing the Forth Road Bridge and our return to Edinburgh atapprox 5pm.

A 26-year-old rape victim continues to fear for her life. The young woman says although her perpetrator is behind bars, she still feels like a target.
"He put the cover over my eyes and my nose," said Brittany Washington. "He told me he was going to rape me and he did so in front of, at the time then, my one year old baby."
Victim Brittany Washington says she was sexually assaulted back in May when 27 year old Jonathan Lee Smith broke in to her home in the middle of the night. In June, Jackson Police arrested the man charging him with rape.
"Being a victim of sexual assault, it's very hard to deal with," said Washington. "So many women don't tell their stories because they are afraid that the person might come back and kill them. 85 percent of woman who are victims of sexual assault, it's always somebody that they know."
Washington has known her perpetrator since they were in the sixth grade. She led me to his Facebook page.
Washington says she continues to fear for her life because she believes she is now the target of a social media attack by Smith. Washington recalls the most recent post made she believes is aimed at her.
Washington recalls the Facebook post, "A "B" put a charge on me. I beat the charge, it was common sense. I didn't even need a lawyer. If I see the "B." If he sees me what he's going to do to me. And then once he does that to me than he can sit down."
On that same page Washington points out where the most recent post allegedly made by him was just this week.
"He's behind bars, he's not supposed to be anywhere near a cell phone," said Washington. "Whoever is bringing the cell phones and all this in, I feel like something should be done because you know, this is scary."
Washington says she is speaking out and wants to be a voice for not only herself, but those victims who remain silent.
There is no confirmation Smith has actually made these posts from jail or if someone is posting on his behalf.

Discover which diseases and conditions pose the greatest health risks to women. Find out how to minimize your risk.
Do you worry excessively about developing breast or ovarian cancer? Your anxiety may be misplaced. Although these cancers can cut your life short, your risk of having either one is far lower than is your risk of having ¡X and dying of ¡X cardiovascular disease.
That's not to say you should forgo regular mammograms or ignore symptoms that may suggest ovarian cancer, particularly if you have a high-risk family history. But it does mean you might benefit from a realistic appraisal of your true health risks ¡X if only to put your mind at ease. Better still, understanding your top health risks is the first step toward reducing them.
To that end, the leading causes of death for women in the United States are listed below, in order of prevalence. Of course, every woman is unique, so you should always discuss your personal risk profile and preventive plan with your own doctor. These figures serve as a frame of reference for that discussion.
No. 1 ¡X Heart disease
Heart disease is responsible for more deaths in women than all forms of cancer combined. Heart disease is the most significant health concern for women in the United States today, causing nearly 350,000 deaths each year.
The good news is that heart disease is one of the most preventable health conditions. You have the power to reduce some of your risks:
"X Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke and limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

Student Computing Support Center
Help Desk Call Center
Instructional Tools Support Center
Classroom and Event Technology Support
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) provides technology-based solutions and services that support the academic, service, and administrative activities of Indiana State University (ISU). We partner with constituents in all areas to enable the efficient and effective use of campus resources, to promote innovation in research and teaching, and to foster the growth and success of our students.
OIT is the campus leader in identifying, implementing and supporting technologies, services and practices that support the strategic priorities and daily operations of ISU.
It is the responsibility of the CIO (or the CIO's delegate) to review major decisions with the senior leadership of impacted areas, and with senior administration and/or President's Cabinet. These discussions provide the final guidance on enterprise initiatives and expenditures.
OIT also relies on several formal input and advisory mechanisms, as described below. These governing bodies provide valuable insight into desirable approaches, customer needs and probable reactions related to many operational, tactical and strategic areas. They also represent a driver for the broader, forward-leaning discussion of technology directions for Indiana State University
In addition to these formal committees and discussions, it is the intent and the practice of OIT personnel, from the CIO down, to operate in an environment where a variety of inputs and discussions are invited and welcomed, and their results are used to improve our efforts and services. The OIT staff is caring, talented, and professional in their planning and execution of our many services; however, given that our work impacts the daily success of almost every campus operation, we must be open to the assessment and input from others in everything that we do.
Sister Alma Anderson, Chairperson
The Information Technology Advisory Committee is made up of faculty and staff to provide consultation and advice to the Associate Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Chief Information Officer. ITAC is the institutional advisory committee. As such its members consider and provide input regarding the activities of OIT generally, and also discuss specific decisions and recommendations produced by the other committees described below that address more specific areas of IT service and support.
ITAC members are intended to represent the needs of their constituents in these discussions, and to provide OIT with input from their constituents on the efficacy of existing OIT services. ITAC members are also asked to assist in providing guidance on how to communicate changes and actions planned by OIT, and to help OIT leadership understand the impact of a proposed change or action on OIT's customer base.
ITAC meets three or four times during the academic year, as scheduled by the CIOs office, with electronic communications to handle interactions between meetings. Deans are asked annually to propose membership from the colleges, and ICSC is asked to name members to participate in ITAC.
April Hay, Chairperson
The Institutional Computing Steering Committee membership is composed of one or more members from each of the major offices supporting or using administrative systems. The purposes of the Institutional Computing Steering Committee are: to provide guidance for recommendations to higher administration relating to the direction of Institutional Computing at ISU; to seek group consensus for matters relating to Institutional Computing that affect multiple offices; to discuss and make recommendations to higher administration for priorities relating to Institutional Computing which affect multiple offices; and to be used as a vehicle to distribute information to the ISU community concerning matters relating to Institutional Computing members.
The committee chair is an elected position. The Committee meets at 8:15 a.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. The agenda for each meeting is distributed in advance. Members are asked to submit items be added to the agenda. Action items that are agreed upon are documented back to the committee.
ICSC is represented on ITAC for input and discussion related to our major administrative systems, and to IT policy and governance overall
Kristie Bigler, Chairperson
Under construction. This advisory committee will provide guidance for OIT's support of Blackboard and other instructional tools. OIT is currently working with Colleges to identify members for this committee, and the first meeting will be held by the end of Fall semester 2012
Mark Ford, Chairperson
The advisory committee meets periodically to receive guidance related to OIT's support of student academic and personal use of technology on campus. The committee is currently made up of students from multiple student organizations:
Evan Myers – Commuter Services
Kali Watler – Commuter Services
Sara Young – Females in Technology
Miguel Lewis – IFC Secretary (Tri-Council)
Kirk Moore – International Student Organization
Samantha Hyten - Pan-Hellenic VP of Administration (Tri-Council)
Ishann Vadhera – Student Government Association
Miguel Delarosa – Student Government Association
Rachel Leshinsky – Student Government Association
Jessica Neff – Tri-Council, Sorority Life Intern
Philip Ulrich – Union Board Committee Chair
The first meeting of 2013 was conducted on Friday, February 15th at 3:00pm.
The formation of an advisory committee to provide guidance on the logistics, technology and physical environment relative to ISU's classrooms is under discussion with the Provost at this time
Lisa Spence, Facilitator
These meetings occur monthly, and are an opportunity for OIT directors and managers to share information about current and upcoming OIT projects with other IT professionals on campus
These discussions also offer an opportunity for this group to share information on needs in their areas with OIT, and to raise concerns about service levels, current problems, approaches, or other items of operational or tactical importance. It is also an opportunity for IT professionals from all areas to talk about the larger environment for IT and where campus efforts needs to be directed. IT professionals from all units are invited to attend.

Carnegie Mellon University and President Kagame: A venture capital romance
by Rebecca Cech
Whether you are claiming undying love or revealing plans to produce a "university community open to the exchange of ideas" together, forgive us if we notice that this partnership appears to have been forged in publicity stunt heaven and reads like a trashy venture capital romance novel. Perhaps it was fate.
When you take Kagame's Rwanda, with its clinical orderliness, access to bucketloads of no-questions-asked international aid and unchecked state power, entrepreneurs like CMU are bound to come a-courtin'. I believe it was Jane Austen who said, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that an African war criminal in possession of a presidency must be in want of a Western institution whose reputation can lend him international credibility."
The plot is painfully familiar. Quick, someone pop the cork and think of an appropriate toast for the new couple that sounds sincere. And, as CMU throws her arms around Kagame in an exaggerated show of public affection, for godsakes, don't be gauche and mention the dirty money she is coincidentally fingering in his back pocket or point out the embarrassing way she's twittering on about what an international, adventurous and humanitarian character this new African commitment proves she is.
CMU and Kagame went public about their relationship on Sept. 15, 2011, just a day before the president arrived in Pittsburgh to deliver a commemorative speech at the university and take part in a ceremonial signing to celebrate their dewy, contractual bliss. We know, however, that the romance began years earlier when they met in 2007 at the Connect Africa Summit.
Suddenly, CMU looked across the board table, admired how the light fell across Kagame's general hat and felt strangely "impressed by Rwanda's remarkable growth." Kagame, for his part, enjoyed the salon-fresh smell of CMU's hair and the expansive effect the institution promised to have on his country's "knowledge hub."
Before you could say "hail to the cupid of convenient wedlock," the president was down on bended knee, gazing longingly into CMU's prestige, asking "will you open a CMU branch campus with me in Kigali, if I underwrite all your operating costs, paying you nearly $100 million over the next decade?" Swoon!
Despite four years of private courting, CMU's press release about its collaboration with Kagame had the public timing of a shotgun wedding. With less than a week to respond, letters of concern went out from CMU faculty and from the African Great Lakes Coalition too late to influence any discussion surrounding the contract. The deed was irrevocably done by the time anyone with a cautionary opinion could respond.
On the day commemorating the happy union, 40 protesters, including some students from the university, held signs and shouted, "CMU, shame on you," for the duration of the president's visit. This can be a mood-killer, as CMU's honeymoon-is-over tone soon reflected.
Before the event, the university's fawning publications put Kagame in the front and center, crediting him with a large part of Rwanda's "success story." Afterward, when criticism and curiosity began to mount, CMU changed its assessment of Rwanda's status to "it's complicated," dodging questions about the many indictments against the Rwandan president, including the fact that he's considered by Reporters Without Borders a "predator of the press," by BBC and Scotland Yard a would-be assassin of critics abroad, by the UN Mapping Report of 2010 a war criminal responsible for massacres that may prove in court to be genocide, and by the Spanish Court a criminal implicated in mass murder and terrorism.
I wish someone could sit with CMU over a cup of something steamy and deliver this warning: "Yes, he is powerful. Yes, he is monied. Yes, he is intelligent. I'll take your word for it that he has a huge investment territory. It's good to have things in common: You're both entrepreneurial, you both receive an obscene amount of money from the U.S. government, and your Western allies seem to get along.
"However, I would gently urge you to consider the fact that this man is most certainly, besides all the things that make you go gaga, an accomplished war criminal in a region positively littered with the bodies of his victims. CMU, you have signed up for the trials of a mob wife. I know that you're determined to make this relationship work and that you think his 'business' elsewhere won't affect what you have together privately on your campus.
"However, even if you never look directly into the trunk of his car, it's a safe bet you will hear and see things that will trouble your conscience. From what I gather, Kagame does not tolerate open and free spaces for inquiry, dissent or criticism of any kind. He's gifted at keeping people quiet through legal shams, disappearances, assassinations and plain, old-fashioned intimidation.
"What will silence you, if you ever get up the gumption to say something? And how long are you prepared to pretend you don't see victimization, in the face of evidence, to protect Kagame's name – a name that is now associated with yours? I hope you know what you're doing. Claiming ignorance or looking strategically the other way has a nasty habit of coming back to roost. Just ask Penn State."

How are you people…what's wrong with you who bewitched you…you are so stuck in hatred to the point that your eyes are too blind to see the light. Rwandans and other African people are going to benefit from that University. I mean youth…students…not Kagame lol. If that's not enough for you to realize a positive side of the story then you are simply filled with a bunch of crap. I'm so sorry for you because this type of politic no longer works.↓
Rebecca Cech…whatever the f* you are just leave Rwanda and It's people alone…In Rwanda nobody cares bout your sh*t anyway…..!!!!↓
Hey Rebecca I have a better Idea for you. Why can't you spend more of your time talking about how your non-functional congress can create jobs in America or about your new presidential candidates who are not even close to a half way of looking presidential or about your dead healthcare…or PROTESTERS IN NEW YORK…or at least about Too big to fail companies that are shipping all your jobs overseas…huh….I guess you don't have guts for that..do you?????????????↓
Bosco Habimana
Rwandan children are have a opportunity to attend one of the best universities in the world. The university is there for that purpose. Those who want to oppose everything good about Rwanda have their own agenda. At the end Rwandans are going to win.↓
Very well put Rebecca! I am a Rwandan who saw with my own eyes many of the innocent women, children, and elderly who brutally butchered by General Kagame's forces. I like the style in which you expressed the embarrassment that CMU will face in the future when General Kagame is brought to trial for his war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.↓
I agree with the comments directed at the writer of this article.
The US is a hypocrite for bashing the any leader that has a notorious background that involves brutality towards it's own people but if your Gov't ( the US) is supporting of this……
Then how can you go on writing articles about a man you is not only back by the US to include England. I agree, yes leave Paul Kagame alone↓
opps who is not only↓
I think Rebecca and I are both most of all concerned about our own government's involvement in this. The CMU administrator for university/government relations is centrally involved and Carnegie Mellon is one of the biggest academic military contractors in the country, so much so that it's been nicknamed Carnegie Military University.↓
Ann and Rebecca your so wrong, and i promise your wasting your time. you will never win, just keep supporting FDLR .↓
@Mukamwezi: Did Rebecca and I say anything about the FDLR? I didn't and I didn't read anything Rebecca wrote about the FDLR. Do you really think that, as American citizens, we have no reason to be concerned with what our own government is doing, here, in Africa, and elsewhere in the world? If so, you're not going to get far with that argument, not with us or many other Americans I can think of, even those I disagree with.↓
I just finished reading George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty Four where the English writer describes expertly behaviours of authoritarian regimes towards their citizens. According to his writing, they have a sickening obsession of their subjects' minds and what the latter think that they do anything in their power to control peoples' thoughts.
As far as I am concerned, I find that those who cannot accept that people can have differing views on some subjects must have something not operating properly in their minds.↓

New statistics show domestic violence is on the rise in the Roanoke Valley.
According to Turning Point, a domestic violence shelter run by the Salvation Army in Roanoke, domestic violence is up 22 percent in the Roanoke Valley compared to 2011.
Turning Point Executive Director Evelyn Jordan believes some of that spike is attributed to more victims speaking out for the first time.
"What we see is that as people are getting more confident to speak about (domestic violence)," she said. "they learn how to overcome and get self-confidence back and that more and more people will be divulging."
Jordan asked us not to identify the location of the shelter 60 bed shelter in order to keep the victims safe.
if you are a victim of domestic violence call 540-345-0400 for help.

The new iPad's LTE option, which allows access to fast 4G networks, has also shocked some customers who found they can eat up an entire month's worth of data watching just a couple hours of streaming video.
For a long time, analysts and even carriers have urged customers to download videos and other large files over Wi-Fi to avoid the high price of using a cellular connection.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Cell-to-Wi-Fi roaming is on the way -- but may come with a price. | Stay ahead of advances in mobile technology with InfoWorld's Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
But that hasn't stopped owners of the new iPad and some recent LTE Android-based smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus from leveling renewed criticism at carriers like AT&T and Verizon Wireless for imposing high data fees.
In December, Computerworld illustrated the problem by downloading a single 128-minute HD movie over LTE to a Galaxy Nexus. The 3.7GB movie file took less than two hours to download.
The new iPad adds a whole new level of temptation, since it features a high-resolution 9.7-inch Retina display with 3.1 million pixels, making it a great way to view everything from movies to online games to televised sports. A fast LTE network offers a consistent connection for streaming video and faster download capabilities than 3G networks.
Data price plans for tablet users start at $30 a month for 3GB of data on AT&T or 2GB on Verizon. Using that pricing model, a single HD movie download would cost $50 over Verizon (the $30 plan for 2GB, with two $10-per-GB overage charges) or $40 on AT&T.
As a result, some customers are asking: Why have a great new smartphone or tablet running over LTE if you can only watch video for such a short amount of time?
"People aren't going to stand around forever and just deal with limitations on data usage, and it's not incumbent on the user to monitor his own bandwidth consumption," wrote Erik Fecher in a comment on Computerworld. "It's completely the responsibility of the service provider to accommodate it."
The Wall Street Journal this week also found new iPad customers who quickly zipped through their respective data plans, with the issue generating similar comments.
Neither Verizon or AT&T wanted to comment about data usage costs. However Verizon did offer up a number of "tips" via email for consumers seeking "to manage their data allow allowance on...any mobile device."
The Verizon tips, not surprisingly, include using "Wi-Fi to help extend the life of your data plan" at home or elsewhere. "Checking email is not a huge use of data, but streaming video is, so you may want to use Wi-Fi when streaming video," Verison said.
The carrier also has a data calculator, and urges users to download a data widget for Verizon LTE tablets running Android. The widget is currently not available for the iPad.

For the past three weeks, I've written about the school district, which not everybody likes.
In fact, one of our friendly Internet readers posted a comment informing me "this horse is dead."
The web comment didn't surprise me, but two things did surprise me this past week.
The first surprise came on Sunday from my pastor, who made a startling statement to the congregation. He said that in these progressive times he's come to terms with the fact that adults are going to
Yes, that adults are actually going to look at their cell phones during the sermon.
That's because, as you may know, there are many fine Bible apps on the market and it's so much easier just to type that morning's verses into the search box on Bible Gateway or whatever Scripture site you happen to use than it is to hoist up your giant family Bible and flip through the gilded pages.
Bible apps are a good thing, my pastor said, and very convenient, and he gave everyone his blessing to use them.
You could hear a collective sigh from the congregation. I mean, you don't want your pastor to look at you reading the Bible on your phone and think you're checking your email or playing solitaire.
And you definitely don't want your pastor to look at you checking your email or playing solitaire on your phone and think you're checking your email or playing solitaire.
So that was the first surprise.
The second surprise came on Tuesday night in front of a thousand people at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts.
Somebody cried at the Page One awards.
Last year, it was outgoing Muscogee County superintendent Susan Andrews who wiped away tears after Spencer High School students won three out of the first seven awards.
This year, Andre Carter, a 285-pound defensive tackle from Spencer High School, won the Page One award in the category of athletics.
Everybody knew Andre was a 285-pound defensive tackle because he was wearing his green-and-gold letter jacket (letters in football, wrestling and track) with "285" and "DT" patches sewn on one of the sleeves.
Earlier in the evening, Andre had stood on the RiverCenter stage with 17 other nominees.
Now he stood there alone, the winner, under hot lights and in front of a thousand people.
Our publisher, Rodney Mahone, told the audience about Andre's accomplishments, how he'd overcome a tough situation, how he'd succeeded in the classroom and on the playing field, how he'd mentored middle school students.
And big Andre bowed his head and wiped tears from his eyes.
A thousand people cheered.
It was a nice surprise.

Thread: Vikes & Trotters Agent Talking
Vikes & Trotters Agent Talking
KFAN.COM had the following to say:
Jeremiah Trotter, released last week in a salary-cutting move by Washington, and ex-Steeler Jason Gildon are the highest-profile free agent linebackers available.
A team source confirmed to the FAN late Monday afternoon that Trotter's agent, Jimmy Sexton, has contacted the Vikings about his client.

Fallout from fight arrests begins for Vikings
Kevin Seifert and David Chanen, Star Tribune
June 8, 2004
Repercussions of a Saturday night brawl began being felt Monday at Winter Park. Vikings officials made plans to release tight end Steve Farmer, two team sources said, and they also are expected to sign veteran linebacker Keith Newman as an insurance policy for starter E.J. Henderson.
Farmer, Henderson, linebacker Mike Nattiel and Nattiel's uncle were arrested early Sunday morning outside a Minneapolis nightclub.
After an internal investigation, the team sources said, the Vikings determined that Farmer instigated the fight and that Henderson and Nattiel joined in to defend Farmer.
Farmer's release could become official as early as today. Newman likely will be in uniform for development practice today at Winter Park.
Coach Mike Tice said he could not talk about the legal circumstances, although he acknowledged the team's newfound desire to upgrade its linebacking corps.
Tice met Monday with Farmer, Henderson and Nattiel. Farmer, whose face was swollen Monday, denied his suspected role, but the team sources said the Vikings' investigation corroborated that of Minneapolis police -- who witnessed the four men beating Troy Lamont Jones, 32, of Brooklyn Center. A representative of the players disputed the results of those investigations.
The fight between Jones and the Vikings players and Nattiel's uncle started when one of the players -- the Vikings believe it was Farmer -- bumped into Jones' wife outside the nightclub Tabú, sources with knowledge of the case said.
Jones allegedly told one of the players to apologize, words were exchanged and a fight ensued, the sources said.
First Precinct Inspector Rob Allen said police were patrolling the area in front of Tabú and witnessed the fight. The officers saw three or four men stomping a man who was on the ground and unconscious, Allen said.
The two officers tried to pull the Vikings players and the man off Jones and used a chemical irritant, Allen said. The officers called for backup and eventually were able to arrest the men.
Bill Mauzy, who is representing the three Vikings players, said eyewitness statements from defense investigators agree that Farmer didn't initiate physical contact and that he was "assaulted by the purported victim and others."
"Farmer was properly defending himself because he was being attacked by several people," he said. "It was a chaotic scene outside the bar at closing time."
Mauzy said the Vikings denied that they hit or stomped Jones after he was on the ground. He also said the Vikings players hadn't been interviewed by police.
Lt. Mike Carlson, head of the department's homicide unit, said police plan to present the case to the Hennepin County attorney's office today.
Tice has banned players from Tabú since the arrests, the team sources said. It is likely that Henderson and Nattiel will face some sort of financial penalty from the team. If convicted, they also would be subject to a fine or suspension from the NFL or both.
On the field, Henderson and Nattiel remained in the starting lineup during development camp practice Monday. Tice indicated he will accelerate the competition between Nattiel and second-round draft choice Dontarrious Thomas at weak-side linebacker.
Neither Nattiel nor Henderson started a game last season, and their recent troubles -- both players have been arrested for drunken driving within the past year -- have given the Vikings cause to reconsider their depth at linebacker.
Newman, who is entering his sixth season, would provide veteran stability and could push Henderson if he falters or has a setback in his recovery from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Newman played in 12 games for Atlanta last season, finishing with 40 tackles and two sacks. He was released in April.
Farmer, Henderson and Nattiel refused to speak with reporters Monday.
• The Vikings have scheduled a Friday workout for would-be defensive lineman Brock Lesnar, the ex-Gophers and WWE wrestler who is attempting to launch a football career. The workout will take place at Winter Park. Coaches and scouts remain skeptical of Lesnar's football aptitude but are willing to give him a chance.
• Former Gophers quarterback Asad Abdul-Khaliq worked out for a second time Monday with the Vikings. Tice said the Vikings will not sign him.
• Former St. John's receiver Blake Elliott will need at least nine and as many as 12 months to recover fully from the broken left leg he suffered Friday, trainer Chuck Barta said. Doctors inserted a pin into his left fibula during surgery Saturday, and Elliott also has several torn ligaments in the ankle.Hupo oe ke kau ana i ka waiupa a ma kou pa o & Hupo na Po o waiupa a
Vikes & Trotters Agent Talking
This would be a solid signing if we get him, but i'm not gonna be all that upset if we don't. I'm confident that our LBs will get the job done and Trotter may be expensive.

Who in the heck is this Newman guy?

RENSSELAER, N.Y. – The case of a Rensselaer man charged with rape after having sexual relations with two young teen girls will be dismissed on Wednesday due to a mistake in paperwork.
In February, the Rensselaer City Police Department arrested 23-year-old John Halacy after detectives determined he had been sexually abusing a 13-year-old female and a 14-year-old female in the City between December 1, 2012 and February 8, 2013. Police also say they believe Halacy supplied the girls with prescription drugs.
Since Halacy's case was not presented to a Grand Jury in a timely fashion, his right to a speedy trial was violated, leading to a dismissal of the charges. He is expected to plea to an endangering charge on Wednesday in full satisfaction of the charges now pending, according to District Attorney Richard McNally.
The paperwork, which was supposed to be filed by Laura Krueglar who handles sex crimes for the DA's office, was never submitted.
The mother of the one of the victims spoke to NEWS10 ABC and says "He's getting let go because someone couldn't do their job."
The mother's daughter was 13-years-old at the time of the abuse. "This is a slap in the face having him released on a technicality," she continues.
Halacy was charged with Use of Child in a Sexual Performance, five counts of Rape 2nd-degree, eight counts of Criminal Sex Act 2nd-degree, five counts of Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance, Sexual Abuse 2nd-degree and Sexual Abuse 3rd-degree. He was released from county jail earlier this week.
At 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, family members furious at the paperwork fumble will attend court as Halacy makes his appearance.
The mother who spoke to NEWS10 ABC says she's concerned for her daughter's safety.
"This is completely unacceptable. He's supposed to be behind bars to keep girls safe, these girls have come forward it's all for nothing," she continues, "I lost all faith in our justice system right then and there."
That mother has contacted Stephen Coffey, a lawyer in the area, to
see how she could move forward. He says "There is a failure to monitor these
cases inside the DA's office," he says, "the case was waived to Grand Jury, it
got into the main office, no one paid attention to it or it got lost and the
defense was smart
enough not to say anything."
The DA's office was not available for an interview, but they did say they take full responsibility and apologize to the families.
Police say this is not the first time Halacy has been in trouble with the law. He was charged with Aggravated Harassment in early January 2013 for making a Facebook post which threatened bodily harm to an East Greenbush resident.
He was also charged with burglary and grand larceny for breaking into a home on the Fourth of July 2012 and stealing the homeowner's computer and iPad.

It's a daily occurrence that a college student emails me asking how they can get involved in the Boulder startup community or any startup ecosystem. This gets me both excited and sad – excited that another young soul is ready to put their energy into the fray and sad that opportunities for them to do so are not readily available or visible to them.
For those students looking to get involved in Boulder and in Denver, I always point them towards Startup Summer, a program out of Startup Colorado.
I like to describe the program as a 10-week immersion program into this startup community. Just as being complete immersed in a culture is the best way to learn that culture's a language, being immersed in a startup community is, well, the best way to be a part of that startup community. The program does this through placing a cohort of students at various startups as an internship region, giving these students exposure to the top entrepreneurs and mentors, and providing a set of crash courses on entrepreneurship that allows the students to truly understand the discourse. A sample of companies participating are Gnip, TeamSnap, SendGrid, and Revolv. You can find the full list here.
Startup Summer is in its third year. For the first time, there will be two programs – one in Boulder and one in Denver. All the internships are paid. Application close on February 28, 2014 - go get the last few positions while you can.
Oh, and if you're a company in Boulder or Denver that wants to participate, ping me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll see if we can fit you in this year. If not this year, then the next.
I'm excited to announce the launch of the Colorado Startup Community Fund. This is a $200,000 fund for providing financing to support activities, events, and organizations in the Colorado startup community. It's part of the Startup Colorado initiative and is going to make the first round of grants at the end of Q3.
The Startup Colorado Community Fund from Startup Colorado on Vimeo.
One of the four principles of my Boulder Thesis (discussed in my book Startup Communities) is that you need to have activities and events that engage the entire entrepreneurial stack on a continual basis. If you look at the activity in Boulder and Denver, there is at least a one activity every day at this point – sometimes as many as five. It's amazing to observe and experience – this super-saturation of activities and events around the startup community is awesome.
Many of them are entrepreneur-driven events that are free to participants. Many are done in a bare bones, scrappy way – which is awesome. While many have contributed venues, there's always some minor cost, especially as they scale up. Beer and pizza isn't free.
As a result, many of these entrepreneurs run around rounding up small amounts of sponsorship from local service providers. $1,000 here, $2,500 there. Or they start charging a modest fee – say $10 / event.
Our goal with the Colorado Startup Community Fund is to eliminate the need for the entrepreneurs putting on these events to have to scramble to raise a small amount of money. Or charge the other entrepreneurs who are participating. Instead, we'll be giving grants each quarter, ranging from $1,000 to $25,000, to underwrite the costs of these activities and events. We'll be funding activities and events across Colorado, with a focus on Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins.
I've personally contributed $25,000 to the Colorado Startup Community Fund. Other founding contributors include Jim Franklin, SendGrid; Ryan Martens, Rally Software; Nancy Phillips, Viawest; Steve Halstedt, Centennial Ventures; Libby Cook, Founder, Sunflower Markets; Jim Deters, Galvanize; Bob Ogdon, SwiftPage; and Dan Caruso, Zayo Group.
If you are interested in participating in the Colorado Startup Community Fund, either as a financial contributor, or as a grant recipient, feel free to email me.
