Three years ago today (it doesn't seem like it could have been that long ago! ) my nephew was hit by a car while waiting for the school bus. He suffered multiple broken bones and brain injury and spent many months in the hospital. He is now able to attend school, rather than be tutored at home, but he ends up in the nurse's office often as he tires very easily. He suffers seizures on occasion and his recently his speech became slurred. Neurological tests are going to be done to find out why this is happening. He is hoping to attend college next year as his younger sister will be graduating high school and going off and he wants to keep up with her. The fine folks at the Connection prayed for my nephew three years ago and I know that helped him survive his injuries. I wish to ask for some more prayers for him that he continues to improve and be able to fulfill his dreams of becoming an engineer. Thank you.

On the top of a tall building in a large city, there was a bar. In this
bar, a man was drinking heavily. He would ask the bartender for a tequila
shot, then walk out to the balcony and jump off. Minutes later, he would
appear in the elevator and repeat the entire process. This one guy
watched this happen a number of times until curiosity got the better of
him. Finally, he went up to the man and asked, "Hey, you keep drinking,
then jumping off the balcony, and yet, minutes later, you're back again.
How do you do it?" Well, the shot of tequila provides buoyancy such that
when I get near the ground, I slow down and land gently. It's lots of
fun. You should try it." The guy, who was also quite drunk out of his
gourd, thought to himself, "Hey, why not?" So he goes to the bar, drinks
a shot of tequila, then walks out to the balcony, jumps off, and
whooooooooooooo, SPLAT! The bartender shakes his head, looks over at the
first guy and says,
"Superman, you're an a$$h0le when you're drunk."

After selling his car and making a good profit, Steve is shopping for a new motorcycle. He finally finds one for a great price. The motorcycle is missing a seal, though, so whenever it rains Steve has to smear Vaseline over the spot where the seal should be.
Steve's girlfriend is having him over for dinner to meet her parents one evening. He drives his new motorcycle to his girlfriend's house.
She is waiting outside for him when he arrives. "No matter what happens at dinner tonight, don't say a word. Our family had a fight a while ago about doing the dinner dishes. We haven't done any since... and the first person to speak at dinner has to do them."
Steve sits down for dinner and soon notices that his girlfriend wasn't exaggerating. It is just how she described it. Dishes are piled up to the ceiling in the kitchen and nobody is saying a word. Steve decides to have a little fun. He grabs his girlfriend, throws her onto the table and has sex with her in front of her parents. His girlfriend is a little flustered, her father is obviously livid, and her mother is horrified. Yet, when Steve and his girlfriend resume their places at the dinner table, nobody says a word.
A few minutes later, Steve grabs his girlfriend's mom, throws her onto the table and does a repeat performance. Now his girlfriend is furious, her father is boiling, and her mother is a little more pleased. But still, there is complete silence at the table.
Suddenly, there is a loud clap of thunder and it starts to rain. Steve remembers his motorcycle outside and so he jumps up and grabs his jar of Vaseline.
With a look of terror in his eyes, the girlfriend's father backs away from the table and exclaims, "Okay, enough already, I'll do the damn dishes!"

A wealthy man decided to go on a safari in Africa. He took his faithful pet dog along for company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long he discovers that he is lost. So, wandering about he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the obvious intention of having lunch. The dog thinks, "Boy, I'm in deep doo doo now." Then he noticed some bones on the ground close by, and immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap, the dog exclaims loudly, "Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"
Hearing this the leopard halts his attack in mid stride, as a look of terror comes over him, and slinks away into the trees. "Whew", says the leopard. "That was close. That dog nearly had me."
Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes. But the dog saw him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figured that something must be up.
The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The cat is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine."
Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and thinks," What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet. And just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's that monkey. I just can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

The present Ebola crisis in the world is frightening. I have submitted the following letter to the editor of the Lewiston Morning Tribune:
Editor, Lewiston Morning Tribune:
If I wish to import a horse into the United States from Liberia or any African country other than Morocco , the horse needs to undergo a 60 day quarantine period at a USDA approved quarantine facility prior to mingling with the general population of horses in this country. Africa has a disease called African Horse Sickness that does not exist in the US ; this is the way we have kept it out of this country. African Horse Sickness does not cause disease in people, only horses; our government has determined that it would be devastating to the US horse industry if it were to come here.
The United States (and virtually all other countries ) require a myriad of tests and often quarantine prior to bringing in a foreign animal.
I can't legally cross state lines in the United States with a horse or cow without a health certificate signed by a USDA accredited veterinarian stating that the animal has been inspected and found free of infectious disease. In most cases blood tests are also required. In fact I can't legally cross the Snake River and ride my horse in Idaho without a health certificate and a negative blood test for Equine Infectious Anemia.
I'm not complaining; the United States of America , the States of Idaho and Washington as well as the other 48 states take the health of our livestock very seriously, and we have a very good record at keeping foreign animal diseases out of our country. I am happy to do my part to maintain biosecurity in our animal population.
If I am a resident of Liberia incubating Ebola, to enter the United States all I need to do is present a valid visa, and lie when asked if I have been exposed to Ebola. Within hours (no quarantine required ) I can be walking the streets of any city in the United States .
I feel very fortunate to live in a country that values our animals so highly.

I am not worried about Ebola. I even travel to West Africa but not ones with Ebola cases. I am more worried about the flu which kills many thousands in this country. A flu shot offers partial protection. Don't allow the news media to scare you. CNN covers this too much and Fox less but they also hype this. Remember they need people viewers.

How smart is Your Right Foot?
Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon............
This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain.
1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY...... ) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with you right hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.

Would you believe that I sent this to the one person, out of suspected thousands, who draws a 6 from inside the circle up - so she thought this was a fraud : )

Richard the Pourer
Years ago there was a baker's assistant whose sole job was to pour the dough mixture for making sausage rolls (apparently the royal family loved sausage ). Because people were identified by their professions, he was just called Richard the Pourer.
One day Richard ran out of some key ingredients, namely a secret spice he used in the batter. He called his apprentice and sent him to the store to buy more spices.
When the apprentice arrived at the store, he found that he had forgotten the name of the ingredient. Hoping that the storekeeper might be able to figure it out, he described it to him . . . it's for Richard the Pourer for batter for wurst.

Date of Stay: August, 2006 - $36.00
Need to camp by the road. Sites in the timber are too tight for anything but a pop-up. Roads are rocky and tight, plus some sewers at the sites have too small of opening for your hose. Restrooms are old and dirty. Price is very high for this place. Store is OK. Canoeing was fun. Good place for a day or two tops if you want to canoe or tube. We camped at Dawt Mill in a Fifth Wheel.

For this project, create a seasonal feel using non-traditional colors and an unexpected yet comforting scent blend. It's a great way to welcome the colder months!
This kit includes:
This kit is a little different than our other kits in that you can remove or get extra of each item in your shopping cart (and the price will adjust accordingly) before you check out. So you can just get what you need. Also please note that there are no printed instructions included with this kit, learn how to make this soap on the Soap Queen Blog here.
If you have never made soap from scratch before, please check out Anne-Marie's four part series on cold process before trying this recipe. It is really important to understand how to work with sodium hydroxide (lye) so that you are soaping on the safe side.

I am attempting to write C functions with these two prototypes:
int extract_little (char* str, int ofset, int n);
int extract_big(char* str, int ofset, int n);
Now the general idea is I need to return a n byte integer in both formats starting from address str + ofset. P.S. Ofset doesn't do anything yet, I plan on (trying) to shuffle the memory via an offset once I figure out the little endian, for the big.
I'v trying to get it to output like this; for little endian, based off of
0xbf 0xa3 0x61 0xf2
int main()
int i = 0xf261a3bf;
int ofset = 1; // This isn't actually doing anything yet
int z;
for (z = 0; z < sizeof(i); z++){
printf("%x\n",extract_little((char *)&i,ofset, sizeof(i)));
return 0;
int extract_little(char *str,int offs, int n) {
int x;
for (x = 0; x < n; x++){
return str[x];
I'm not sure what else to try. I figured out the hard way that even thought I put it in a for loop I still can't return more than 1 value from the return.

Lohan's Vegas Party Still On, Pure Is Very Proud
Lohan's Vegas Party Still On, Pure Is Very Proud
Lindsay Lohan may be in rehab, but her 21st birthday party plans are powering on without her -- Pure nightclub is making damn sure of it. The party was supposedly at one point sponsored by Svedka Vodka, but the beverage company denies ever signing on for the event. What, you don't want your brand associated with a party celebrating a starlet becoming legal to drink, which takes place only days after said starlet gets out of REHAB for, among other things, underage drinking? I can't see the problem there (note: sarcasm). Today, Pure released this invitation to the event on their website showing, what else, photos of Lindsay with a cigarette dangling from her lips collaged with some personal pics (in which she looks kinda wasted). This whole party, especially if Lindsay doesn't bail which I think she still might, just reeks of bad idea already.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
U.S. health officials say West Nile Virus is here to stay. The state of Kansas is already preparing for West Nile.
This year, the State Health Department will find out much sooner if you have the disease. They'll be testing in Topeka instead of the CDC in Atlanta.
The KDHE is asking for your help. When you're outside, it wants you to report dead birds once again. If you have any horses, ask your veterinarian about vaccinating them.
Last year when Keith Kinley heard about vaccinating horses against West Nile Virus he ignored the recommendation.
Keith says, "I thought it was another way for people to get money"
But it almost cost him his horse Cody's life. Last year hundreds of horses in Kansas contracted West Nile Virus. Cody was one of them.
Keith says, "At that time she was about 8-9 months pregnant and I thought there was something wrong with the pregnancy."
State Epidemiologist Dr. Gail Hansen says, "Can we get all the mosquitoes gone in Kansas? No, but can we keep it down. Can we prepare ourselves and be as ready as possible? Sure."
The mosquitoes that carry West Nile Virus usually don't hit Kansas until July. But the state is already testing them for the disease, and asking you to minimize your exposure tot hem.
Dr. Hansen says, "We're going to do everything we can to keep the west nile away from here."
Cody survived West Nile Virus, and almost four months ago gave birth to a colt, appropriately named Niles.
Keith says, "We've already got the first shots, we're getting the boosters here in another couple of weeks, and all the mosquito repellant we can find."

What advice do you have for CLA-OIT constituents who are intimidated by technology? If I could go back in time and tell the twelve-year-old John Fite anything, it would be, "You can find a solution to almost any problem in a book somewhere." Technology is quickly reaching a similar position and will then surpass it in ways that we cannot predict. For most people I know, the time investment required to learn and stay current with technology is more than repaid in the leverage it gives them in solving more and more of life's problems.

The issue in brief:
Turnitin (a Moodle assignment management tool) is not working properly, brought on by a recent update
The University's central Moodle Support team is working on the issue with the vendor
Faculty and other instructors should discontinue using the Turnitin GradeMark feature for commenting or annotating student submissions and entering grades
Instructors needing help with this issue should contact UMN Technology Help at 612-301-4357 (1-HELP) or firstname.lastname@example.com
If you would like to discuss this issue more in-depth, please contact your CLA-OIT Relationship Manager
The issue at length:
A couple of weeks ago we became aware that many of our CLA faculty were having problems with Turnitin (a Moodle assignment management tool). When we learned of this issue, we contacted those most affected by it - CLA language programs - and tried to better understand the issue. Most of the problems seem to be centered around giving feedback (i.e., commenting or annotating) on students' submissions, as well as on the grade book part of the tool. In most instances, students were not able to view graded/commented papers; in other instances, faculty-submitted grades in Turnitin were not properly channeled into the appropriate Moodle grade book.
During this time, we were also in close contact with the UMN Moodle staff, who are responsible for supporting Turnitin. They are aware of the issue and are in on-going consultation with the Turnitin vendor. They are also trying to find ways around the issue so that faculty and students can conduct their teaching and learning as close to normal as possible while the vendor designs a solution.
The UMN Moodle team is also actively working on short-term solutions. In the meantime, the UMN Moodle team recommends users experiencing problems contact them, and that all faculty discontinue using the GradeMark feature for commenting or annotating student submissions and entering grades until further notice.
Updates on the progress and issue resolution will continue to be shared through Moodle Announcements, MoodleTalk, and the Category Support group channels in Moodle.

Dear Colleagues,
Greetings! We hope your semester is off to a good start. Please take a few moments to read these important announcements from H-1B staff at ISSS:
Information sessions for departments: See the ISSS website for a schedule of training sessions related to the processing of non-immigrant and immigrant visas (J-1, H-1B, PR) for U of MN scholars and employees. These sessions are intended for department administrators who are involved in the visa application process for international faculty, staff, and scholars. Advance registration is requested for planning purposes.
Reporting changes in employment and immigration status: ISSS must be notified of any changes in immigration status, and if a material change occurs in an H-1B employee's job (duties, % time of appointment, title, salary, change of department, change or addition of work sites, etc.). ISSS will determine whether a new petition is required. Please remember that it is critical to include ISSS in your discussion if/when planning promotions or other changes in employment. We expect that some employees may experience changes in employment due to the university job family study.
Contact ISSS if you get a site visit: Contact Mark Schneider if you receive an immigration site visit for an H-1B employee. Most site visits are routine and should not cause concern, but ISSS would like to be notified of such events and will provide instructions on how to respond.
Global Scholar Profiles: ISSS is seeking additional submissions for our new Global Scholar Profiles program. If you know an international scholar who has made significant contributions to the U of MN and/or their field, ISSS would like to join you in recognizing them. Please consider nominating a Global Scholar or encouraging others in your department to do so!
ISSS/GPS Alliance programs and initiatives: As you are important partners in international education, we invite you to take note of these programs and events:
