Ski Resorts & Skiing Vacations
Cheap ski vacations
Whether you don skis or a snowboard, North America offers dozens of amazing destinations in major ski areas throughout California, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Canada and the Northeast. CheapTickets has plenty of great ski vacation getaways. Now it's up to you to pick where.
Featured Destinations
When people think of the best ski resorts in the United States, the first place that usually comes to mind is Colorado. Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado lays claim to some of the best ski resorts in the world for fantastic ski vacations. Whether you want to snowboard in Steamboat or après-ski in Aspen, Colorado has much to offer. Add in world-class ski resorts and spas, in spots like Vail and Telluride, Colorado skiing is a first-class destination.
Vail/Beaver Creek Lift Tickets
Keystone/Breckenridge Lift Tickets
Winter Park Lift Tickets
Aspen Lift Tickets
Located in the western Rocky Mountains, Utah is a bit more laid back than Colorado when it comes to ski resort destinations. With killer ski resorts in Alta, Park City, Deer Valley and the Canyons, Utah's powder is second to none. Take things to the next level and head to Sundance, created by Robert Redford. This ski/cultural destination has helped shine the spotlight on Utah due to its annual Sundance Film Fest. Either way, Utah offers incredible options for ski vacations.
Park City Mountain Resort Lift Tickets
Deer Valley Lift Tickets
Epic Pass
Most people think of sun and surf when they hear California, but the Golden State has some of the best skiing around. Nestled into the Sierra Nevada mountain range, California's best ski resorts are close to both Los Angeles and San Francisco, like Bear Valley or Mammoth Mountain. Or just head straight to a ski resort in Lake Tahoe for world-class snow. Best of all, Tahoe gives you access to Nevada and gambling.
Heavenly/Kirkwood/Northstar Lift Tickets
Mammouth Mountain Lift Tickets
There are lots of things you can blame Canada for, but having bad ski destinations is not one of them. The Canadian Rockies boast some of the best skiing and breathtaking views anywhere in the world while eastern Canada possesses a European feel. Between Banff and Whistler in the west and Tremblant back east, Canada has it all. Throw in towering pines and incredibly-close access to Vancouver and Montreal, and you have one heck of a ski vacation ahead of you.
Skiing in the Northeast isn't for wimps or the faint of heart. If you're used to skiing the powder of the west, you'll be in for a surprise. Northeast skiing, in places like Killington and Stowe in Vermont and Sugarloaf in Maine, is challenging and a bit more extreme. There's a reason the winter Olympics were once held in Lake Placid, N.Y. But the payoff is great: incredible beauty, gorgeous vistas and hot-tubbing apres ski is well earned.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- In November, we told you about Allyn Rose, the DC representative in the Miss America contest. Because she carries the same gene mutation that killed her mother, the 24-year-old will undergo a double mastectomy next month to avoid breast cancer.
Cara Scharf faced a similar dilemma. At age 22, she tested positive for the BRCA 1 gene mutation. A frightening time, but Cara found strength through the healing power of the arts.
Cara is always happiest when she sings. She's passionate about the healing power of the arts. It's what she advocates in her work at the Global Alliance for Arts & Health and it's what helped her come out on top after a devastating diagnosis.
At age 22, Cara Scharf learned she carried the BRCA 1 gene mutation that put her at higher risk for ovarian and breast cancer. Her grandmother died of ovarian cancer; her mom Marcy passed away from breast cancer when Cara was 3.
"I didn't want to be the next Scharf woman to pass away from this disease," shared Cara.
Yet, Cara decided against having a double mastectomy before being diagnosed in order to lower her breast cancer risks. She explained, "I knew there were really good ways to look for cancer and surveillance was a good option and that's what I chose at the time.
But time wasn't on her side. At 25, her first baseline MRI spotted a malignant tumor.
"You hear those words and everything just kinda stops-- a breast cancer diagnosis, you can't think about anything else..." remembered Cara.
The cancer was in one breast, but because of the gene mutation, this time, Cara had a double mastectomy, plus six weeks of chemotherapy.
From the diagnosis in March to the completion of all her surgeries and treatments in December, 2011 was a long and frightening time for Cara. But having music to listen to and being able to sing, even a sad song, helped her survive.
"...thru the music, someone else is singing about their own pain or their own heartache, or whatever they're singing about. So you kinda feel less alone," said Cara.

May 24, 2016
Valdosta, GA - There seems to be a bit of a littering problem in some local areas: Lingering campaign signs two weeks after the election.
Now Valdosta city leaders are asking folks to please take them down. But if they're on private property there's nothing they can do about it according to Georgia state law.
The city and county used to enforce a one week grace period after elections but a change in state law ended it.
"Personally, everybody has their own opinion but I think immediately after the election they should have someone come pick up the signs," said Jeffrey Williams, Lowndes Co. Resident.
City officials say campaign signs are not allowed on public property ever.

As of right now we only have the tank and an Aquamaxx HOB skimmer that I had bought for the 29, but wouldn't fit with the light fixture. Should have plenty of room now though.
We will be relocating the 29 gallon to the spare bedroom to maintain as a frag tank. The 29 has two Koralia Nano powerheads; one 240gph and one 420gph. The 420 will be replaced with a 180 that I have collecting dust. I'll be putting the 420 along with the Koralia 550gph that I have on order into the new tank. I also will be removing the Whisper 40 power filter and placing it on the new tank. I figure that the Remora Nano will be efficient on the frag tank. I'm kind of confusing myself trying to explain all of this, so I'll just place a list, lol.
Current Equipment:
- 36'' AquaticLife T5HO 6x39W fixture
- Koralia Evolution 550gph
- Vortech MP10es
- Aquamaxx HOB Protein Skimmer
- Whisper 40 powerfilter
- ViaAqua 300 watt heater
- Coralife thermometer
- Black Occellaris Misbar Clown
- Purple Firefish pair
- Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
- Mini Maxima Anenomes
- Assorted Snails and Hermits
- Neon Green Trumpets
- Assorted Acans
- Assorted Zoas and Palys
- Green and Purple Favia
- Branching Frogspawn
- Duncans
- Neon Green Toadstool Leather
- Superman Mushroom
- Green and Purple Candy Canes
Still need to head to the LFS for new sand and additional live rock once the rest of the equipment arrives. All of my current live rock and livestock will be transferred into the 40 once I am set up.
I'm pretty excited about this set up and I look forward to all of the extra space we are going to have!
Here is a picture of tank and skimmer (nothing special, I know):

or was the winner from a hand-picked collection of minorities? I believe it was the latter.
in their youth, but if you did, did you notice how Robert Heinlein started out with no particular agenda in the early stories, then became progressively more Libertarian as he aged until finally he was deeply into the Ayn Rand, "the superior man is allowed to do anything he wants" bs which is dangerously close to "the superman (Nietsche) can do no wrong" which characterised much Nazi thinking?
The deeper you get into Randianism, the smaller the allowed group of "superior men" "artists, architects, engineers, heroes" becomes until they seem they're all about to disappear up Ayn Rand's fundament.
That's what is wrong, and was recognized as wrong with self designated elites, and the US has by and large avoided that trap until now. Indeed it is possible that the most recent election and Obama's small but distinct coattails, did provide some fending off of that viewpoint.
Did anyone check the close votes, and how they almost all went Obama's party's way, with a few exceptions. Allan West got his recount, and the margin of his opponent's victory only opened wider, which suggests sloppy tabulation of the vote by the machines or the poll supervisors.
"Can anyone cite an instance in History where the majority has been right?" Robert A. Heinlein.
Majority rule may not be perfect, but it's the best thing we've got, to stave off the tyrrany of small self-appointed minorities.

Even as a girl attending St, Hilda's School, Monk had a habit of telling her teachers about her big plans for the future. She had a penchant for singing and performing early on, but it was not until she hit her teens, that a full-fledged music career opportunity presented itself.

Congresswoman McCarthy won't run again
Long Island politician announces she will not seek a 10th term
1 2 Next page >
Congresswoman Carolyn McCarthy will not seek reelection to a 10th term in 2014, she announced today.
A resident of Mineola, McCarthy was first elected in 1996. She is best known for her stance on gun control, and was in fact moved to run for office after her husband, Dennis, was killed and her son, Kevin, was wounded 20 years ago by Colin Ferguson in what came to be known as The LIRR Massacre.
McCarthy has been battling lung cancer since her diagnosis in June, and has undergone chemotherapy treatments at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
"I have decided not to seek re-election to the United States Congress in 2014," said McCarthy. "I am forever grateful to my constituents for giving me the privilege of representing them in Congress for the past 18 years."
McCarthy has been involved in legislation including historic reforms in the areas of finance, health, education and gun safety. She serves as a senior member of the Committee on Education and Workforce. As Ranking Member of the Early Childhood Elementary, and Secondary Education Subcommittee, the Congresswoman oversees education policy matters from early learning through high school and also serves on the Higher Education and Workforce Subcommittee. She was instrumental in having her Serve America Act signed into law by President Obama in April 2009, which made historic investments in national service programs.
"We'll miss Carolyn in Washington," said Congressman Peter King (R-Seaford). "She was a very hardworking and conscientious member of Congress. Whatever political differences we had never stopped us from working together on issues regarding Long Island and New York. I wish her a very happy and healthy retirement with her family."
"As I plan for the next chapter of my life, I look forward to resuming my role as a citizen activist for the causes and principles that are so close to my heart," she said.
Her National Instant Criminal Background Check Database Improvement Amendments Act was signed into law in 2008. The law is designed to provide states with grants to upgrade information and identification technologies for firearms eligibility determinations. The law also requires all Federal agencies to update the database with information regarding persons ineligible to purchase firearms.
"As a nation, more needs to be done to keep our citizens safe, while simultaneously protecting our Constitutional rights," McCarthy said. "Incidents involving gun violence over the last two years serve as yet another reminder that although modest progress has been made over the years, there is much more work to do."

God Bless you and keep you in His Care! Thanks for trying to make this a better place to live. Some people just don't have a way with words. I'll say a prayer for your speedy recovery.
While I am sympathetic to Ms. McCarthy's illness and wish her the best, I've long felt that her constituents have been without Congressional representation...and when I called her office to explore the fact that she hadn't voted on anything in ages, the intern functionary explained: Well, she's been excused! Not by me...sorry...it's long overdue...and I wish her well...but I need representation.
I just did.
Maybe now Long Island will have a voice we so desperately need instead of just another Washington rubber stamp
I thank Carolyn McCarthy for her years of service. We need more courageous people willing to stand up to the gun lobby. All the other political hacks can think of is their own political parties. She had one issue, and she fought for it - and all of us who believe the same way. Thanks, Ms. McCarthy.

Carolyn McCarthy is a nothing. A one trick pony that exploited the tragedy in her life for political purposes. What specifically has she done for anyone in 18 years? Zero, nothing.
This extremist liberal hack did attempt one thing: she wanted to take away our 2nd Amendment rights. Yes, our RIGHTS, which she tried to trample on instead of what we really need: criminal control.
And like most extremist liberals, she is too stupid to actually even have basic knowledge of a subject. Don't believe me? See for yourself. Watch this YouTube video where she thinks a "barrel shroud" is the "shoulder thing that goes up." http://youtu.be/UmZZVTEz4RQ
This dumb wench does not even know what she is trying to ban!
And further proof that this lying hag is out for herself is the lawsuit she just filed. She wants $70 million for the cancer she had due to asbestos from 40 years ago! Of course, the lawsuit conveniently ignores the 4 packs of cigarettes this lush has been toking on for decades.
But Carolyn McCarthy is not the most stupid person. That honor goes to all of YOU, who continued to vote for this absolute nothing for all these years. How about shutting off the reality shows for a while and actually investigate who you put in office next time.

It's national forgiveness day! We all have something we feel sorry for, and if you feel any guilt building inside of you we want you to clear the air with us!
Lil D apologized to his college girlfriend of 3 years. He was unhappy in the relationship and wanted to end it… he just wasn't sure exactly how he wanted to go about ending it. The result was him cheating on her at a party, in public and on purpose; he wanted her to catch him. He understands that it was a really awful way to end things with her and he's extremely sorry.
Steve apologized to his family and his mom. When she passed he was the only one who wasn't there to say goodbye in person. He had just started a new job and there were horrific weather events that prohibited him from traveling to where she was. But regardless of why he was unable to make it to her bedside, he is truly sorry.
Who do you want to apologize to?
Stay classy!

Since Roe v. Wade..there has been debate ad naseum over when "life" begins. Roe v. Wade essentially holds that society must balance the rights of a fetus to the rights of a mother once the fetus is determined to be viable.
Roe v. Wade recognizes that viability cannot occur before 12 weeks so the rights of the woman's privacy are absolute when it comes to a decision to terminate pregnancy.
After 12 weeks..if I understand it correctly...it becomes a state issue where states are allowed to set their own rules.
This has caused much debate between those who are anti-abortion and those who are pro-choice. Religion has played an enormous role in this debate..with many anti-abortion supporters invoking the Church's rights..and "God's will".
However..it appears that the Catholic Church doesn't always practice what they preach. In 2006, Lori Stodghill , 28 weeks pregnant with twins..went to St. Thomas More Hospital suffering..it turns out..from cardiac arrest. No attempt was made on behalf of the hospital staff to deliver her twins before she died..resulting in their death. Her husband sued the hospital for wrongful death of his wife as well as the twin boys who died with her. The Catholic Church argued that he could not sue for wrongful death of the twin boys since they were not "people" until they were born.
Now..the Catholic Church definition of when life personhood starts goes way beyond science's. No one knows better than I that a baby born at 28 weeks is without question..viable. My son was born at 28 weeks.
While I respect everyone's beliefs and perspectives on the issues..this should serve to remind everyone why religious beliefs should not be the thing on which we base society's laws. Yes..they should inform..but not be the basis.
It's kind of hard to take anything the Catholic Church might say on when personhood begins when they themselves argued that it begins only after birth. I guess their definition of personhood is fluid..depending on how much it may cost them.

GAO Report Finds Gaps in VA Mental Health Care
October 3, 2006
This past week the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report that faults the Department of Veterans' Affairs for failing to fully spend a promised $300 million since 2005 to fill gaps in mental illness treatment for veterans and returning troops. The GAO is an investigative arm of Congress. The report was issued as part of a House Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing on September 28.
The GAO found that the funds were supposed to have been used to improve awareness of mental illness treatment services in the VA and provide increased access troops returning from
Specifically, the GAO found that the VA spent only $53 million of the $100 million it planned to use in FY 2005 on gaps in care identified the agency strategic plan for mental health. Instead, the VA sent as much as $35 million to a VA general fund where it could be spent on a variety of programs – or perhaps never expended. Further, the GAO investigators found that the VA did not inform its hospital administrators and VISN directors that the $35 million was available.
Likewise, hospital administrators and VISN officials were unaware that any specific allocation was to be used for the VA mental health strategic plan. Meanwhile, at least $12 million of the funding was unspent. Similarly, the GAO found that for FY 2006 –which ended October 1 -- $42 million of the $200 million made available by Congress for the strategic plan remains unspent.

Terre Haute, IN (Sports Network) - Jake Odum scored a game-high 22 points and
dished out five assists to lead Indiana State to a 76-57 drubbing of 16th-
ranked Creighton at Hulman Center.
Odum, who finished 7-of-10 from field goal range, has reached double digits in
four straight games. Manny Arop finished with 17 points and seven rebounds and
RJ Mahurin added 13 points for the Sycamores (15-8, 8-8 MVC), winners in three
of their last four.
Indiana State took down then 15th-ranked Wichita State on Jan. 29, but fell to
Drake in overtime on Feb. 2.
Doug McDermott, the Bluejays' leading scorer, struggled from the field all
night. The 2012 MVC Player of the Year converted on just 3-of-10 field goal
attempts and finished with just eight points, his lowest scoring output since
posting just five points on Nov. 14.
Avery Dingman led all Creighton (20-4, 9-3) scores with 13 points while
Gregory Echenique, Grant Gibbs and Nevin Johnson tallied eight points apiece
in the setback.

The AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour, Part NineWritten by on February 27, 2011 Great Crowds, A Wild Party, And Community Support Punctuate The Last Two Stops On The 2010 Tour
It was a long run from our last stop at Eldora to the big state of Texas so we took our time. Making stops in Clarksville, Tennessee, and Hot Springs, Arkansas, made the trip bearable. And we picked an RV park once we got there that was to be one of the most fun out of the entire Tour.
Lakeside RV Resort located on Lake Livingston near Onalaska, Texas, was a place we could rest ourselves. It was a bit out of the way due to the fact that we had to re-align our schedule when we discovered that one of the racetracks near Houston didn't have an event the weekend we needed it. So, we would be camped right on the lake for the next week and this rare time spent not traveling would be well used.
That was OK, because after we visited the U.S. National Dirt Track Championships, we were able to rest ourselves before moving on to the last stop in Mississippi. It had been a long trip spanning more than four months in two segments and covering some 12,000 miles total.
Texas Motor Speedway
We really didn't know what to expect when we arrived at this relatively newly constructed dirt track outside one of the premiere NASCAR facilities in the country. Built similar to The Dirt Track at Lowe's Motor Speedway, I knew it would be a well-built facility, but some aspects of it surprised me.
First off, and I will further explain the significance of this later on, there was no police security on duty at this event. Literally, every race I've been to had local police or sheriff's officers on site to make sure nothing gets out of hand in the stands or the pits.
I know when you go to a large track to watch a NASCAR race anywhere in the country, there are dozens, if not more, of officers on duty to watch over the sometimes-drunk crowd. It only makes sense. Not so here.
What was here in abundance was a huge number of Modified class cars representing two classes and a sprinkling of Late Models, 22 to be exact. The paved pits were full and more cars were parked in the grass pits adjacent.
The three classes were the Limited Modifieds, Modifieds, and the O'Reilly Auto Parts SUPR Late Model Championship. All three main events would prove very competitive and exciting to watch. The Late Model series is mostly composed of teams out of Texas and Louisiana. And most of the Modified teams were Texas-based, although a few teams made the trip from Oklahoma and beyond.
We parked our Tour bus right outside of the asphalt pit gates and right at the entrance to the grass pits where a group parked nearby would bring new meaning to the term "grassroots." I would later on learn how much "fun" this group could generate.
The facility was run much like what you would expect from a primarily NASCAR track, but the attendees made it a dirt event separate and apart from the big track overtone. A crowd of more than 8,000 watched as some of the best racing we've seen unfolded.
The track itself almost looks like it's oiled. The dark dirt, common to this region, is not necessarily clay in composition, but is heavy. Deep ruts developed in the second groove in Turns 1 and 2 and high in Turn 4.
The fast way around the track was through the middle of Turns 1-2 and running high off of Turns 2 and 4. Unfortunately, this is where the track got rough. I soon learned from watching a few of the heats, that if a driver kept the car up high, it was smoother there and he could keep his momentum up.
There were only a few smart ones in all of the races who figured that out. The rest fought the ruts and gained and lost ground to the ones who ran high. The bottom was just not productive for speed although it was smoother there too.
It was interesting to see some of the Modified cars launch off the ruts and to see "daylight" under all four wheels at times. And all of that bouncing around took its toll on the equipment. I saw at least four cars whose radiator hoses came off and spilled all of their coolant.
I thought about that. The weight of the coolant in a large hose must be significant. When the cars hit those holes, the forces would certainly put a lot of stress on the fittings and clamps. I wondered how many of those who lost their hoses had double clamped them?
After the races, we settled into our motorhome while the "grassroots" teams celebrated outside. They celebrated, and celebrated, and...well it went on till about 5:30 in the morning. Along about 3 a.m., one of the drivers fired up his Modified and began spinning donuts in the grass. I told my wife, Karen, "That can't be good!"
The next morning I went outside and the Ft. Worth police were there writing up a report on the five, new port-o-lets that were damaged, one being destroyed, within 100 feet of the bus. And most of the teams had left. I would guess there were more than a few drunk drivers on the road judging from the way the beer was flowing.
The lack of security contributed to the whole thing getting out of hand. And while talking with a vendor at the track I learned that a similar party had occurred in the spring race here, so there was a history of this happening. Oh well, boys will be boys. I hope no one got hurt.
We made our way back to the Lakeside RV Park after a not-so-good night of "sleep" for a much needed rest. Our next race was up the road in Mississippi and we would need an overnight stay on the way there. Meanwhile, we had a whole section of the park to ourselves along with the pool and hot tub.
Columbus Speedway
We rolled into town for the 21st annual Magnolia State 100 race at what is billed as the "Baddest Bullring in the South" just outside Columbus, Mississippi. To say this track was unique would be accurate. From the "cut out of a pasture" feel to the custom, individually erected "sky boxes" that lined the track, you could feel a certain local attachment to the venue.
When a racetrack has a serious connection to the community, it shows. This was admittedly a big event that drew name drivers and teams from the top ranks of Dirt Late Model racing, but it had even more. It had the support of the surrounding community and that is what makes it special.
This track only runs limited local and several major events each year, the biggest being this one. We counted a total of just 10 events on the website schedule. Since racing in this area is shared with Magnolia Motor Speedway, the Columbus Racing Alliance was formed in order to schedule races without conflict between the two facilities.
Johnny Stokes manages both area speedways right now and has been instrumental in making both racetracks a success and removing conflicting goals and scheduling. Johnny is a hands-on promoter and it shows. Everything about this race was carefully orchestrated and overseen by him. Every time I called Johnny, he was either working on preparing the track or on the way to do some other task associated with the promotion or preparation of the event. We rarely see promoters actually work.
A few big name teams arrived hoping to win the $25,010 purse. Names like Billy Moyer (no, we're not following him around on purpose!), Wendell Wallace, Shane Clanton, Chris Madden, and Steve Francis headlined the show.
As I walked around the pit area, I couldn't help but notice individual, elevated, homemade sky boxes, about 20 of them across the backstretch and around to Turn 1. Each one had the name of a team or sponsoring company painted on it.
This is exactly what I refer to as community support. Each of these companies must feel a unique connection to the track. Each has a "lease" on a piece of ground on the speedway property, and a great view of the races.
The races were very competitive and in the end, Mike Marlar from Winfield, Tennessee, bested Shane Clanton, Billy Moyer, and 70 other cars that showed up for the win. Mike has been on a rampage this summer, recording multiple wins and mostly Top 5 results when not wrecked or having engine problems. This is one up and coming driver in the top division of dirt track racing to watch.
The End of A Journey
And so, as we left the Columbus area, we felt several emotions. We were first of all exhausted and tired of traveling. But as we made our way toward Florida and home, we couldn't help but reflect on how unique this Tour has been and the great amount of friends we've made.
What we gained can't be fully explained here and so we will submit a full report on the whole of the Tour in the May issue of CT. But be sure that we took a whole lot away from this experience and were able to take in a ton of information that we still need to sort through. I call it information in the can-there when we need it.
I hope that we can successfully compile all of our experiences and observations into a composite review that will lend some insight into where our sport is and where it's going, at least in this particular region. And most of all, we hope to influence in a positive way where it ends up. Be looking for our final review of the entire 2010 AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour of the Southeast in the next issue.

For many of these racers, it's the first time running a big track like this one. For the Modifieds, making gear changes involves changing out the whole rearend and scenes like this one were common throughout the pits.You're never too young to learn the art of tire prep. This Limited Modified team member took care to dress up this stock tire before the action got under way. This class put on a great show with multiple lead changes through the heats as well as the main event.Simple attention to details like this fence within a fence, make tracks not only more comfortable for the observers, but safer too. The smaller spaced fencing catches the larger chunks that could, and would, tend to knock people out. A few of these dirt clods actually injured a few drivers at Lowe's Motor Speedway Dirt Track earlier this year.This team prepared its setup by putting the car on scales on what was the only hard and flat surface available. Many dirt tracks lack a good place to do this, so this was one more check mark in the plus column for this track.All of the drivers sat at a long table and signed autographs for the many fans at Columbus. This is a nice touch and one that keeps the families coming back. The kids were very excited to be able to get up close and talk with their favorite drivers.

Royals agree to terms with Hochevar on a one-year contract
On Wednesday night, the Royals agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Luke Hochevar on a one-year contract for 2011, avoiding arbitration. Consistent with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
The 27-year-old Hochevar was 6-6 with a 4.81 ERA in 18 games, including 17 starts, for the Royals in 2010. He missed two and a half months with a right elbow strain before returning to the big league club in September. The Royals' first-overall selection in the 2006 June Free Agent Draft is 19-32 with a 5.60 ERA in 69 career Major League appearances, including 65 starts.

Hey y'all,
I wanted to let you know about a program I'm working on with American Express. As an enthusiast of the charge card and a social media user, they've asked for my help in communicating my experiences - good, bad, or in-between - with using the many benefits of their cards.
I was invited to a half-day conference yesterday to learn about these benefits and will be given 50,000 rewards points to utilize for this purpose. And, I'm excited to say they're inviting Kalil + me to the US Open today to watch the ladies' semifinals and the completion of the Rafa/Gonzo match as part of the program! *fingers crossed for a rain break*
I felt it was of the utmost importance to be transparent with you about my work with AMEX. I may be mentioning my experiences with their charge cards from time to time on DtL and Twitter as it pertains to tennis, sports, and just plain life.
Moreover, I'd LOVE to hear about any of your personal experiences with their charge cards and benefits. Feel free to leave your anecdotes in the DtL Peanut Gallery or contact me via Twitter. If you're not following DtL, click here.
Have a great one and enjoy the rest of the US Open!

I was disapointed with their sponsorpship of the open this year as compared to previous years. My biggest complaint is that there was no public viewing in Rockefeller Center or Madison Square park. They didn't offer the TV's with multicourt viewing that they had last year. There were fewer booths to pick up the radios at and the lines were longer. They only allowed one radio per card this year vs 2 last year. They also used to give out free draw sheets to card holders and stopped doing that as well.ReplyDelete

The golden era of the cassette tape has long since passed, being cast aside for newer technologies like CDs, and now, iPods and digital downloads.
Tapes have been experiencing a kind of cult resurgence in recent years, and, just as it did when it introduced the Walkman, Sony may have revolutionized the cassette yet again.
The company unveiled a new cassette tape capable of holding an average of 64.7 million songs – yes, million. Kind of makes your iPod look as obsolete as the Walkman, huh?
Sony debuted the tape this past weekend at the International Magnetics Conference.
According to Gizmodo, the tape can hold 3,700 Blu-Rays' worth of material, or about 185 Terabytes of data.
The technology is most likely going to be used for commercial purposes like large-scale data backups and there is no word on when – or if – the tape will be marketed for home users.
But, it's fun to reminisce about the days when going for a jog meant a cassette and a Walkman.

Crimp-Style Electrical Connectors - SealingWritten by on February 1, 2009 Electrical Connections
If there's one thing most of us dread when driving our old cars around, it's an electrical problem. More than simply an inconvenience, electrical problems can cause safety issues like lights failing to work, the charging system not performing properly, and can even cause ignition problems that will leave the engine inoperable. In the worst cases, electrical issues can even start fires, and we don't need to tell you how badly that can damage your classic Mopar. While electrical troubles can have many sources, we've found a way to fix one of the most common electrical problems, the crimped "butt-splice" connector.
Crimp-style electrical connectors, commonly called "butt-connectors," have always been prone to failure. While easy to install, there are two basic problems with the butt-connector. First, since these connections are simply crimped in place using electrical pliers, there's always the chance that the connector isn't crimped tightly enough and will come loose. Or, even if the connector is crimped properly, the wires may still work themselves loose due to the normal vibrations associated with driving the car. Either way, the electrical connection is lost, causing the circuit to become dead, and rendering whatever electric component fed by that circuit inoperable. Even worse, the exposed wire may ground, leading to electric arcing or even a fire.
The second problem with butt-connectors is that they are not weatherproof. So if the wiring is in an area exposed to the elements, like under the hood, the connection has no real protection from corrosion. Worse yet, the design of the butt-connector can actually trap water, accelerating the corrosion process. Once enough corrosion is in the connector, the conductivity is lost, and again, we have electrical component failure.
Fortunately, SpliSeal has developed a tool kit to address both issues with electrical butt-connectors. Their kit contains a hot sealant gun, sealant, and an aluminum mold, which are used together to seal the butt-splice with sealant that will both strengthen and weatherproof the connection. Follow along and we'll show you how it works.

We've all used crimp-style electrical connectors at some point while working on our cars. Though easy to install, these connectors are prone to corrosion and failure.Thanks to SpliSeal, a kit is available that addresses and corrects the problems with crimp-style electrical butt-connectors.The top of the mold is then installed and held in place with the small C-clamp provided with the kit.After loading the sealant gun with a provided stick of sealant and plugging it into a 110V wall socket, the gun is used to fill the mold with sealant, surrounding the butt-splice.When enough sealant is injected into the mold, some resistance will be felt. Also, sealant will begin to seep from the ends of the mold, indicating it is full.Once the sealant cools, about 60 seconds, the mold can be disassembled to reveal a much stronger connection that is sealed from the elements.After removing the sealed connection from the mold, the excess sealant is simply broken away. What's left is a more secure butt-spice that not only looks better, but will be impervious to corrosion as it is completely sealed. This process is inexpensive and only takes a few minutes to perform, so we feel it's well worth the effort.

COLUMBIA, Md. (WUSA) -- A Columbia family didn't get to stand in long lines with others on Election Day. Instead, they delivered a baby girl at their home.
According to Howard County fire spokesperson Jackie Cutler, Brittany and Joseph Duperre called 911 for help at approximately 3 a.m. on Tuesday. Baby Adrienne was "entering the world from the comfort of her home," says Cutler. A few minutes after the call, firefighters and paramedics arrived to cut the umbilical cord and transport the family to the hospital.
Cutler says that Adrienne is a healthy, 7 pound, 1 ounce baby. At last check, she and mom were doing well.
Adrienne is the second child for Brittany and Joseph Duperre. They have an 18-month-old son.
The family hopes to thank the crew, Lieutenant Danny Dushanko, firefighter/paramedics Chris Harvey and Chris Brown, firefighters Bart Albrecht, Brandon Thibeault and Chris Harvey, Thursday at their fire station.

Management Information Systems
Bachelor of Business Administration
The demand for MIS skills has seen a tremendous resurgence in the past few years. Forecasts are extremely strong with MIS skill sets dominating the top job roles expected to grow in the future. While the MIS careers are expected to expand at an accelerated rate, the mix of skill requirements has changed considerably. With the explosive growth of technology accompanying the usage of the Internet in the late 1990s, the role of application development (programming) dominated the MIS field. Since then, outsourcing has moved many of the low level programming jobs overseas. However, the increased need for higher level technology jobs has become prevalent. Now, the web, communication and database technologies are maturing and their usage has begun to extend throughout every area of business practices. These new information technologies are being employed in expansive and creative ways. The result is that the need for MIS professionals has increased -- but in a different way than decades past. MIS is now a "people skill" rather than a purely "technical skill". Our MIS program now trains "business analysts" rather than "programmers".
The "business analyst" (or "systems analyst" or "consultant") position has become critical in order to make information technology available to more users and solve more business problems. This requires skills in identifying user and consumer problems and translating these needs into technology solutions. The analyst provides this critical connection. This role is not subject to outsourcing because the analyst must be embedded in the organization in order to understand the business user and their needs and be able to design and implement the solution within the confines of the organization's technology infrastructure. After the entry-level analyst role, most MIS professionals become "project managers" (or "senior consultants") where they assume the responsibility for an entire technology project's: planning; staffing; budgeting; implementation scheduling; training and operational maintenance. After this project management level, the MIS professional will transition into senior technology management roles that involve: technology planning and strategy; technology architectures and infrastructures; corporate wide technology staffing; and the management of various critical technology centers. Finally, at the "C" level, the Chief Information Officer (CIO) represents the pinnacle technology role within most corporate environments.
MIS Career Tracks
Our MIS program provides the skill set to enter any of the following general areas within the information technology arena. We have successful alumni who are employed in all of these areas and their success has been based on the skills they acquired from our program.
- Analyst/Project Manager -- As stated above, this is the currently the most common path for the MIS professional and most entry level jobs for MIS majors fall into this category. The two central courses in the MIS curriculum (MIS 3360 Systems Analysis and Design and MIS 4474 IT Project Management) provide the core skill set for the program.
- Database Technologies -- Central to most every technology application is the database where the transaction and archival data resides. The MIS 3376 Database Management Systems course is a required skill (with an advanced course MIS 4397 Database Management II available as a senior elective option). The typical technology role here is the "database administrator" (called DBA). Emerging technology areas in the database arena involve: data warehousing (development of large integrated data storage environments); data mining, data modeling or business analytics (the use of various analysis tools to extract historical patterns and develop projections for the future); and business intelligence (the use of tools to scan external data environments and couple findings with internal data in order to discern trends and opportunities relevant to the success of the business).
- IT Infrastructure -- The role of computer hardware, networking, security and communications technologies continues to expand with "mobile technologies" and "cloud computing" becoming a common part of every corporate computing environment. This area continues to grow and offer new job opportunities for MIS professionals as the existing technologies mature and new infrastructure opportunities are implemented. There are two elective courses (MIS 4477 Network & Security Infrastructure and MIS 4397 Management of IT Security) available to support students interested in these roles.
- IT Consulting -- In addition to roles in traditional corporate MIS environments, consulting firms provide another employment avenue for our graduates. There are many large and small technology consulting firms that provide expertise in all areas of MIS. These firms are often employed to provide: specialized IT solutions; large-scale project development alternatives; and MIS planning and strategic management services. There is a senior elective (MIS 4397 Business Systems Consulting) which covers the roles and skills sets needed for the future MIS consultant.
- IT Audit and Compliance -- New to the MIS arena is the emergence of IT Auditing and compliance. These new roles result from the legal requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley (aka SOX). See for example this. The intent of the law it to assure that publicly traded corporations insure that risks of fraud in financial reporting are minimized. This had resulting in significant internal controls being established for financial reporting and transaction processing systems. Most large public accounting firms offer Sarbanes-Oxley advisory services. Additionally, all publicly traded companies have teams that utilize IT expertise to insure SOX compliance. (The MIS 4373 Transaction Processing III elective course covers the areas of IT Audit and SOX compliance).
The increased demand for MIS skills and the quality of our program are reflected in job hiring statistics from the Bauer College. The table below shows the significantly higher starting salaries for our MIS graduates as compared to other areas of specialization in the Bauer College of Business.

Social Networking (MISSO)
We feel that it is central to the professional development of an MIS major to be involved in campus activities that enhance not only the educational experience -- but also provide a way to develop a professional network of friends and colleagues. The MIS Student Organization is called MISSO. See their web page at www.misso.org. Founded in 1982, the activities of MISSO include: weekly information sessions with corporate recruiting teams; after hour socials; group participation in charitable events; and educational seminars and tutoring sessions that help students with their academic assignments. It is critical to develop these professional relationships while you are a student as they will be an important way to enhance your career in the future.

Cardinal soccer players Mackenzie Wenger '14 of Davis, Ill., and Hannah Magiera '16 of Zion have many memories of time on the soccer field. But perhaps their most vivid experiences as student-athletes aren't from kicking a soccer ball past the goalkeeper, but kicking a football through the uprights.
The prospect of kicking on their respective high school varsity football teams started as a joke for both Wenger (photo, left) and Magiera (right). Eventually, with a little persistence and supportive coaching staffs, the opportunities were there for the taking.

Hi everyone,
I am running 6.0.6_GA_2324 FOSS and have a user with one of the new ASUS Infinity tablets with Android 4.0.3 and the latest firmware (V188.8.131.52)...
When he uses a browser (the built-in one, or Chrome), and specifies the "advanced (ajax)" interface when logging in, everything looks correct. But, when he clicks (touches/taps) on anything, the soft-keyboard pops up. For example, if he clicks on a message to read it, or the Drafts folder, no matter what he clicks on, the soft keyboard pops up.
Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas as to where the problem might be and what, if anything, I can do to fix it?
Thanks to you all in advance,

Royals blogs, Facebook, and Twitter
Back on February 13, we told you about the Royals page on Facebook. We had a few hundred Facebook fans at that point. Needless to say, you found us! Three months later, we're at 59,226 fans (and counting!!!) Way to go, Royals fans! Many of our ATH readers now see the posts on Facebook first. That's great, just remember to stop by and pay us a visit from time to time at http://royals.mlblogs.com/!
In March, ATH joined other MLBlogs on Twitter. Our 'tweets' range from links to our posts to the lineup to the latest Sonic Steal a Slush…check us out at aroundthehornkc! The Royals marketing department also has a Twitter page at KC_Royals. They do a great job of keeping everyone updated on the latest promotions and events at the stadium.
Twitter is a random site…you never know who will start following you. A few days ago, Royals prospect Chris 'Disco' Hayes started following us at aroundthehornkc. We returned the favor (his handle is discohayes). We interviewed Chris for Royals Gameday Magazine during Spring Training. He has a great personality, which you can learn more about in the new gameday which goes on sale TONIGHT at the stadium!
Chris is one of our fellow bloggers on mlblogs.com (http://discohayes.mlblogs.com/). We told him about the MLBlog rankings during our interview. It seems to have hit a competitive nerve as he has mentioned it in a few recent posts!
Other Royals blogs include:
From the Booth with Steve Stewart (http://stevestewart.mlblogs.com/): The Royals broadcaster always has interesting stories and photos from road trips.

Ohio Chautauqua Brings History to Life in Urbana
Johnny Appleseed, frontier aristocrat Margaret Blennerhassett, Iroquois leader Chief John Logan, Lewis & Clark expedition member York, and hero of the Battle of Lake Erie Oliver Hazard Perry came alive this weekend during the annual Ohio Chautauqua held on Urbana's campus and around Champaign County.
Actors/scholars portrayed the historical figures, brought "When Ohio Was the Western Frontier" to life during the three-night family-friendly event. The performances were presented by the Ohio Humanities Council in partnership with the City of Urbana, the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce, The Champaign County Arts Council, the Champaign County Historical Society, the Champaign County Library, Piatt Castles, the Mac-A-Cheek Foundation for the Humanities, and Urbana University.
Performer Jeremy Meier of Sylvania, Ohio is on his third Ohio Chautauqua tour and acts as Oliver Hazard Perry and he believes the event is such a success because it brings history to life. Chautauqua is a pure form of theatre. It gives people a chance to experience the early origins of theatre that began with compelling story telling," Meier stated.
Kevin Fiddler, a junior majoring in education from St. Paris, Ohio, agreed with Meijer and attended all of the Chautauqua events on campus. He said, "This really is something special. Chautauqua doesn't come to Urbana every year. It takes the experience of going to the theatre to a whole different level."
The University felt strongly about hosting Chautauqua and supporting this experience for students and community members. "Our belief in the value of the humanities is really important to Urbana University. History is part of, not only the liberal arts curriculum at Urbana, but the human experience. It makes us more interesting. It makes the community more interesting when we know about historical figures and the humanities. Plus, it's just fun," shared counselor and student development specialist Susie Sassenberg, who served as the Urbana Chautauqua Co-Chair.
More than 1,000 visitors from the Miami Valley attended events and many left praising the unique experience. Urbana resident Penny Berlin exclaimed, "This whole thing has been wonderful! We have been to every single one of the evening shows. All of it is so enjoyable—especially for anyone who is a history buff!"

text: Intermedia Outdoors owns and publishes Game and Fish magazine along with; Petersen's Hunting and Bowhunter, North American Whitetail, Gun Dog, Handgun, Shooting Times, Shotgun News, Guns and Ammo, In Fisherman, Fly Fisherman, Bass Fan, along with the T.V channel the Sportsman Channel. I was a subscriber of Rocky Mountain Game and Fish until today. I learned through their website that they have the Sierra Club and Earthjustice as conservation partners. I find this disturbing considering a company that publishes numerous hunting magazines supports these two groups. Both Earthjustice and The Sierra Club are anti hunting and have contributed huge amounts of money and time to stop hunting and keep wolves on the endangered species list. If you cherish your hunting and shooting heritage I suggest calling and cancelling these magazines. The operator will ask you why and note your reason so tell her you do not support anti hunting groups in bed with so called hunting magazines.

Student Help Desk
Faculty & Staff Support
- I forgot my password. What do I do now?
First, before you go searching for a replacement password, make sure that your caps lock is not engaged. If it is still not working, then you will need to visit one of the following offices:
If you have misplaced your Blackboard password, you can either use the "Forgot Password" feature on the login page or come down to the OIT student help desk and we will be happy to reset your password.
If you have misplaced your Capstone password, you need to visit the Registrar's office with your student ID to have that reset.
If you have misplaced your Group-wise email password, please visit the Student Help Desk, and we will be happy to have that reset for you.
If you have misplaced your network login password, please visit the Student Help Desk with your student ID and we will provide that to you.
- Where is the Student Help Desk?
We are located in the basement of the Ettinger building in Room 003. You can also call us from any campus phone at extension 3375.
- My internet connection doesn't work. What do I do?
Well, first you might want to check and make sure that your Ethernet plug is plugged into the back of your computer and the wall outlet properly. If there are lights next to the plug, are they blinking? If they are not blinking, your computer may not be receiving an internet signal, or the plug may be defective.
If you have a roommate, try plugging your roommate's Ethernet cord into your computer. If you do get internet, then the problem is with the wall outlet. If you don't get internet, then your computer may have problems.
- What do I do if there is no paper in the lab printers or the computers are not working?
Please call the Student Help Desk and let us know which lab and which computers or printers are not working. Please also include any information you know about the problem, like any error messages or details.
- I spilled something on my computer. What do I do?
It would be a good idea call the Student Help Desk at x3375 so we can help troubleshoot what damage has been done. If the hardware has been damaged, and you have a HP or Compaq computer that is not a Pavilion or Presario, we will check to see if the warranty is valid. If it is, we will be happy to do the warranty work here at the college.
- My telephone is not working, who should I talk to?
To fix this, we need to know the extension that you are supposed to have and the extension that is currently connected to the phone. Therefore, you need to call the Student Help Desk from your telephone so we can record the extension that comes up on Caller-ID. Just let the associate who answers the phone know that your phone extension is wrong.
- Will I require a computer?
Yes. Muhlenberg strongly recommends that you bring a computer with you. More than 95% of incoming students arrive on Muhlenberg's campus with a computer. You will use e-mail to communicate with faculty, staff and classmates. You will use a browser to access campus curricular and administrative resources and to perform course research. Word processing will be used for writing assignments and to organize notes. Some courses require the use of a spreadsheet program, powerpoint, or database software (all these are components of Microsoft Office). Your computer will be an essential tool in learning and communicating! Many students immediately begin to accumulate an electronic portfolio of their work. Your computer can also be your stereo and your TV for watching movies.
- What type of computer (desktop vs. laptop) is best?
Laptops are small and light enough to carry to classes for notes, the library for research, elsewhere on campus, or home to work on assignments. Unlike the desktop, portables require less space to use – important at desks in residence halls. Consider where you will want to use your computer when deciding between a desktop and a laptop. Note that there are wireless hotspots on campus, and those spots are certain to expand. Be certain you are comfortable with the video display, keyboard and mouse. Type at least one page of text as a test drive.
Desktop computers are larger and weigh more than a portable, but are generally less expensive. They have more computing power for a given price.
Please note OIT only provides depot service for student computers. Therefore students are required to carry their computers to the Student Help desk if they require service.
- How do I find out what I need to know?
The Office of Information Technology will mail a complete information packet to each incoming student late in July. They also make such information available on the campus website.
- When do I receive my email address?
In the information packet OIT mails in May.
Important : once you receive your GroupWise email information start using this account immediately. Any correspondence from Muhlenberg College will be sent to this email account only. (**see Student Responsibilities)
- When do I receive my Blackboard account?
In the information packet OIT mails in May.
- When do I receive my network account and password?
In the information packet OIT mails in May.
- When do I receive my campus telephone number?
Telephone service is provided to students in College-owned housing Upon Request.
- What kind of computer should I bring?
The College network will support a computer running any version of the Microsoft Operating System and MAC OS. Purchase extended warranties and accidental damage coverage.
- Computer and Software Purchases
Visit the Muhlenberg College Bookstore webpage. Also, see Computer and Software Purchases on this site.
- What should I do with my computer before I arrive on campus?
- To connect your computer to the campus network, a network setting called DHCP must be enabled so your computer will obtain its IP address (network address). For help, go to http://www.muhlenberg.edu/mgt/oit/connect.html.
- Install all applications. The College highly recommends Microsoft Office, including Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. Buy this at discount prices online from the Bookstore web page.
- Bring all installation cds, licenses, and warranty information with you to campus just in in case for any reason you need to have these reinstalled on your pc.
- What happens when I get there?
- If you need a network cable, stop down at the Student Help Desk located in the basement of the Ettinger building Room 003 and we will be happy to provide one for you. If you have wireless, just boot it up, and open up a browser. Enter your Network account and password information that you received in the May Home mailing envelope from OIT.
- You're done!
- Then what?
- Keep your anti-virus software up-to-date. Computer viruses travel through the residence halls faster than colds! You are required to install anti-virus software on your PC and keep it updated. Freeware and Shareware may not be the best choice for this critical task. Configure this software to scan all executable files for viruses before running them. Installing more then one product may cause your pc to run slowly.
- Keep your computer up-to-date. Recent attacks upon computers took advantage of operating system exposures - even up-to-date anti-virus software was not sufficient to ward off these attacks. Configure your computer to automatically download and install operating system updates.
- Turn off or delete unneeded software features, such as file sharing.
If your peer-to-peer file-sharing program is configured to share downloaded files, even greater amounts of bandwidth will be used, since the peer-to peer software will automatically offer that downloaded file to the world. When many others download the file from your computer, even greater amounts of bandwidth is used, slowing things down for all users. Not to mention your legal liability if you share copyrighted material.
- **Student Responsibilities regarding use of email.
Students are expected to access and read their Muhlenberg College email on a regular basis to remain current with College-related communication. Further, routine maintenance of the account content is expected, to avoid exceeding maximum storage allocation. Students have the responsibility to recognize that certain communication may be time-critical. "I didn't check my email", error in forwarding mail, or email returned to the College with "mailbox full" or " user unknown" are not acceptable excuses for missing official College communication via email.
- My computer says it's Safe to ShutDown Now. What does this mean?
Hold in the power button on the PC and it will power off. You may now start it up again.
- I try to login and it says "Tree Not Found".
More than likely your network connection is not good. Reseat your network cable, and if you have a hub, make sure it is powered up and cables connected. There must be green LED lights signifying a connection. Then restart PC to become authenticated to the network.
- I click GroupWise icon and it asks for a password, it doesn't normally.
There is a problem with your Novell login. Logout, then re-Login.
- On a website I see a "send us an email" button and clicking on it opens a dialog box asking for my Net passport login. Why is this happening?
GroupWise is not set as your default mailer. Go into Novell delivered applications (next to Start) and dbl click MailTo Fix. Click next through the steps until Finished. Now a new GW email will open when you click the "send us an email" button.
- On the Techwall, PC is selected but I see a blue screen with no icons.
PC may be in the sleep mode. Move the mouse. If this doesn't cure, make sure the pc is powered on. If you don't see any lights on the pc, try powering it up.
- My print jobs are going to the wrong printer. How do I set the default printer?
Start > Settings > Printers. Find the correct printer. Right mouse click on it, and select Set as Default Printer. A checkmark will now appear above this printer indicating default printer.
- Our Ricoh is not printing, but the copier and FAX functions work.
The sleep mode sometimes disconnects it from the network. Find the power button (left hand side under plastic cover) and turn off then back on. Print jobs should begin printing.
- My GroupWise folders are missing from left side of screen. What did I hit?
Click View > Folder List should have a checkmark next to it.
- How can I save a document (Word, Excel, and Publisher) in PDF format?
If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed you can use the converter function shown on the Adobe toolbar in your application. If not, you may email the file to Support Desk and we can convert it for you.
- How can I leave a voicemail for someone without their phone ringing?
Express Messaging This is a fast way to leave a message in someone's mailbox.
- Dial the Express Messaging number x1000
- Enter the mailbox you want to send a message to xxxx#
- # Record your message then press #
- I think I forgot my Network Password?
Did you really "forget it", did you just "change it", or did it "expire". If it expired and you still know what your password is, we can re-set it. If you don't have clue, we will need to get you a new one and visit your office to set it. Then you will give yourself a new password.
- I can't send departmental forms.
Open Internet explorer, click on Tools, Internet Options, general tab should be in front, click on delete cookies button and also delete files button. Close this up.
Click on the Start button at the bottom of your screen, go up to Settings, Taskbar > Start menu, click on advanced tab, and then click on the clear button.
- I am not getting emails from people on campus.
In Groupwise, click on Actions (at the top), go to Junk Mail, Click on Junk Mail Handling. The settings tab should be selected and remove all the check marks.
- I have a problem with hardware, software, or my telephone.
Call x3566 or email email@example.com.
- My email quota has exceeded my limit. What can I do?
Call x3566 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. The network technicians can increase it.
- What paperwork do I need to fill out when a new employee is hired in our department?
On the Faculty/Staff gateway, click on Departmental forms, and click on New Employee Accounts Requests and fill out the information. This can be done as soon as the employee is hired. There is no need to wait until they arrive on campus.
- How do I get the Message Board back to be my default page on Internet Explorer?
Aside of the Start button at the bottom of your screen, click on the Novell Delivered Applications button to open it up on your screen and look for the W2K User Preferences icon (it has a flame on the top and is fluorescent green) and click on it. Minimize the Novell Delivered Application button and click on IE to see that the Message Board is now your default page.
