 By Mark Nelson, Senior Software Engineer, IBM z/OS Security Server Design and Development Team

 I suspect that everyone who is in information security has, at one time or another heard questions like this: Is it perfectly safe to <insert activity>? It doesn't really matter what activity is. It could be use online banking, creating a web site, skydiving, or posting on Facebook. There's only one correct answer: No, it's not.

 Surprising? It shouldn't be. I'd have the same answer to driving, walking, bicycling, taking a cooking class, reading a blog entry, or pretty much any other activity. Everything has risks. Practicing "good security" means understanding and managing those risks. It's an art as much as it is a science.

 Consider the wise words of renowned security expert Eugene Spafford. To paraphrase something that he said years ago, the only system which is truly secure is one which is switched off, unplugged, locked in a titanium safe, buried in a lead-lined concrete vault at the bottom of the sea, and surrounded by highly paid armed guards. And even then, he wouldn't bet on it.

 So, it's impossible to be "completely safe" (whatever that might mean). It is much easier to approach "completely unsafe". However, for most of us, it makes no sense to be there. :-) Security is the art of picking where you want to be on the "safe" vs. "unsafe" continuum. That's where the art comes in. One first has to understand the risks and the rewards for taking those risks as well as the cost of the counter measures which mitigate the risk.

 The good news is that many times, the cost of the counter measure is dwarfed by the risk that it avoids. It's often better than what the "Pareto Principle" predicts: Sometimes you can get more than 80 percent of the benefit with far less than 20 percent of the work. The key is to find those activities. Fortunately, in security, there are many opportunities to get the "80 for the 20."

 One of these opportunities is the "IBM Security Portal for z". Maintaining your system is a partnership among you and your hardware and software vendors. They should be doing their part by finding and fixing flaws and you need to be doing your part by implementing those fixes and following recommended "best practices". The IBM Security Portal for System z allows a management-designated representative of your organization to access information critical for the secure operation of your System z environment.

By Eysha Powers, Cryptographic Software Developer, IBM

It has always been interesting to me how key strength is affected not only by key size but also by the algorithm.

TDES and AES symmetric keys both provide a means of encrypting and decrypting data shared between two or more parties.

TDES keys can be single (64-bit), double (128-bit), or triple (192-bit) length keys, but even the largest TDES key is considered weaker than the smallest AES key (128-bit). Besides the fact that DES keys have 8 bits of each block on reserve for parity, there are weaknesses in the algorithm due to the nature of the encrypt-decrypt-encrypt operation that is performed on the data. This makes TDES susceptible to meet-in-the-middle brute force attacks.

With a little digging you can find a couple of tables in the NIST Recommendations for Key Management (Section 5.6.1) that show the bit strengths vs key algorithms. It even explains their approach to determining key security by comparing how much work it takes to break a given algorithm relative to others. Key strengths for both symmetric/asymmetric algorithms and hashing algorithms are included in the tables.

A good reference!

Hi everyone !
I am very interested by this forum, as I am learning more and more about homeschooling and unschooling philosophies. Im not yet a mother (trying to conceive our first child one right now, month number 3 is almost over ... should know in a few days if Im pregnant already or not yet :)
I have been interested in what is seen as "alternative" parenting (cosleeping, child led weaning, diaper free, etc.) since I became an aunt a few years ago. My sister is a great inspiration in my life, as is our mother, and they got me interested on the subject of natural parenting. I have always been very interested in natural, healthy and simple living, and of course I hope that these values will help me become the best mother I possibly can be !
Cant wait to read the forums more and to learn from you all !

Helping Students Grow in the Places God Has Planted Them
As we discuss participation in God's mission, we reflect on why it's important to help students grow where God has planted them. Possibly more than ever in the life of the church in North America, we need to understand the church is a missionary community. What does that mean for a seminary?
Rosebud Immersion: A Look at Culture and Participation
Sioux Falls Seminary actively participates in God's kingdom is through its continued commitment to our indigenous neighbors. For eight years, we have partnered with Wiconi International to offer an intensive week-long immersion course on the Rosebud Reservation in South central South Dakota.
Understanding the Needs of Those Around Us
In the fall of 2013, Sioux Falls Seminary launched a Training in Spiritual Direction program. Two cohorts of students (fall 2013 and fall 2014) have joined us on this journey. But what is spiritual direction? Why does it matter? How can we better understand those we walk alongside as we participate in God's mission?
Counseling Students and Participation in the Kingdom
This week as we talk about participation in God's mission and the impact of 1 Corinthians 9:23, we highlight our redesigned counseling program. Not only does the program better prepare students to serve as licensed professionals, it also provides the opportunity for students to join God in mission.
A History of Faithful Participation
There are few passages of Scripture better suited to sum up the passion, the beating heart, of our German Baptist heritage than 1 Corinthians 9:23: I do all these things because of the Gospel, so that I can be a participant in it. This week we're exploring the work of founding professor August Rauschenbusch.
Participating in God's Mission More Than an Individual Experience
President Greg Henson recently had the privilege of visiting Cameroon, Africa, with a few others from the NAB family. They learned about the wider NAB community and how we can partner together to serve God in powerful ways at home and around the world.
Serving Others as Christ First Served Us
Master of Divinity student Jesse Walhof participates in God's mission through a ministry of presence. As the Street Outreach Supervisor with Volunteers of America, Dakotas, he spends many days, nights, and weekends listening to the stories and needs of homeless and at-risk individuals.
Part Two: Disciples or Apostles?
Last week Nathan Hitchcock, SFS alumnus and Associate Professor of Church History and Theology, shared his story with us in the first entry of this two-part series on disciples and apostles. Today, in part two, he reflects upon what it means to participate in God's mission while continuing to learn and grow.
Part One: Disciples or Apostles?
We've been talking about the opportunity to join God in mission. We begin a two-part series by Nathan Hitchcock, SFS alumnus and professor. This week and next, Dr. Hitchcock will share his story and reflect upon what he's learned about participating in God's mission while continuing to learn.
Reflections on One Year as President
It's amazing how quickly a year goes by! I've been President of Sioux Falls Seminary for one year. I'm continually inspired by the people working at the seminary, the students we serve, and the stories I hear from alums, givers, churches, and others who have walked alongside us in our history.

In March 1940 the annual report of the Bridgeport, Conn., Hospital giving figures since the beginning of the century was analyzed to show, among other things, how the cost per patient day had increased from $1.32 in 1899 to $5.04 in 1939.1 The latest report of the same hospital adds another column of data covering forty years of hospital experience. The additional information gives the average hospital cost per patient by years. This cost, which was $44.88 in 1899, then declined irregularly to a low of $25.11 in 1913. Probably much of this decline was due to falling prices during this period. From this point the rise has been general until in 1940 it was $54.88, or more than twice as much as in 1913. Depression conditions probably account for the temporary decline from 1930 to 1935. The steady rise which followed can possibly be best

Cristo Vive 1, 2, 3 & 4 Group
Janes is excited to be taking her third loan with Esperanza after having successfully repaid her previous loan and grown her business. She has been running her business for almost six years. She started investing in selling gasoline in the main avenue from her community. While she was growing her business, she decided to add different products. Now she is selling chickens, like a small butcher, during the day while also selling the gasoline. She will invest this loan in buying chickens (by quintal, 100 pounds) and 10 gallons of gasoline.
Janes wants to reinvest her business´s profits. For her future, she is dreaming to have her own house. She thanks you all for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Information Technology History
The Computer Center at Moorhead State Teachers College, as we were known then, started in 1962 when the first computer employee was hired. During the following years, the Center has grown and now provides service to the campus, the region and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities System (MnSCU). Some of the historical documents are listed below.
Computer Center History
First computer employee - 1962
In1962 Ronald Sonnenberg was hired as the first data processing employee. The department was a data processing branch of the Registrar office. When Ron came on campus to interview, he was a nineteen year old from Vergas, MN. Ron was not familiar with the campus but knew he had to talk to the Registrar. When Ron arrived at the Registrar office, he saw a long line going into the office. When Ron got to the front of the line and said he was there for an interview, he was already 20 minutes late. Ron was told that all of the others in line were waiting to register and that he could go immediately in for the interview. Apparently, the interview went well because Ron became the first data processing employee with the title of Tabulating Machine Operator II and a salary of $1.97 an hour. The main use of data processing at this time was to provide student services such as record keeping and registration for classes. The department was located in the first floor of Flora Frick.
First computer - 1966
The Computer Department at Moorhead State College can probably be said to have come into existence the fall of 1966. Richard Corner was appointed jointly as Director of the Computer Center and Instructor in Business Administration. The data processing equipment at that time (all leased) consisted of an IBM 407 accounting machine, a collator, a sorter, interpreter and a keypunch machine. Victoria Volk was hired as a keypunch operator.
In January of 1967, an IBM 1620/1622 computer system was purchased from the University of North Dakota at a cost of about $30,000. A second keypunch machine (for student use) was leased shortly thereafter. With the acquisition of a computer, there were programming courses offered by the Mathematics and Business department. The development of administration applications expanded from those associated the Registrar office to include financial processes from the Business office. The department had out grown its space in Flora Frick and was moved to the east side of MacLean in the area where the bookstore is now. Most of the campus administrative offices were also located in MacLean.
During the 1967-68 academic year, the Computer Center operated administratively under the Dean of Academic Affairs (in particular, the Assistant Dean of Administrative Affairs, Dr. Robert Hanson), advised by a faculty committee called the Computer Center Committee.
In the spring of 1968, Linda Green (later to become Linda Stulz) joined the department as keypunch operator. In June, 1968,. Marvin (Marv) Klimek was hired as Tab Machine Operator to assist Ron. Sonnenberg who had been promoted to a programmer. Dr. Martin (Marty) Holoien, a mathematics professor was appointed Director of the Computer Center. A grant for federal funds were used to upgrade the computer system.
In February, 1969, Deona Basaraba (later to become Deona Grondahl) was hired as keypunch operator. In July Wayne Hoeshen was hired as the second programmer. It was also in July that the 407 Accounting Machine was replaced by a leased high-speed printer (300 lines per minute) attached to the 1620 computer.
In January 1970 preliminary work was started to obtain a computer system with mass storage (disk and tape) capability. A proposal was also submitted (later funded) to request funds for a small time-sharing computer for academic computing. In January 1971, a Honeywell 115 computer system with two disk drives, two tape drives, and a high-speed printer was installed. In February 1971, a PDP 8/I five-terminal timesharing computer system was also installed. The PDP 8/I was used entirely for academic purposes, i.e., classroom teaching and problem solving in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science, and other disciplines. Besides college departments, time on that system is leased to the three local high schools. In 1971, Glen Guida joined the department as a programmer. Computing continued to increase for administration usage in student records, grade keeping class registration and financial applications.
Also in 1971 the computer science department was created. It had formerly been in the department of Mathematics. Marty Holoien was named the first chair of Computer Science. Marty continued to server as director of the Computer Center.
By 1973, Moorhead State had three computer systems serving the academic computing needs of the college: an on-site Honeywell 115; a remote CDC 6400 (referred to as MERITSS, the acronym for Minnesota Educational Regional Interactive Time-Sharing System); and a remote Univac 1106 located at Mankato. This was the start of remote processing over phone lines. Modems with a maximum speed of 110 baud were used for the first time.
The Computer Science department offered computer courses, in particular the COBOL programming course and advanced courses dealing with computer operating systems were being taught to students.
MERITSS, the timesharing computer system accessible by students and faculty via teletype terminals or CRT terminals had been available at Moorhead State since the summer of 1972. At that time the College had five ports (lines to the compute system) and the associated electronic equipment and telephone lines (communications equipment) needed to make them operational. Early in 1973 changes were been completed which provide the College with nine ports on the MERITTS computer.
The remotely located Univac 1106 at Mankato was a large computer system used for processing programs too large for the other two systems. It first became available for use at this College during July 1973. This computer has been used mostly for performing statistical processing in connection with two Computer Science courses and with research projects conducted by staff members associated with the College. Donna Lyden (later to become Donna Baumhardt joined the department as a data entry operator in 1972.
First computer registration 1974
The first computer registration took place in 1974. Students no longer had to stand in lines to get their classes from departments but would select their courses from the class schedule and turn in their course requests that were keyed on a punch card. The cards were then run on the computer and students were enrolled in the classes and printouts were returned to the registration area where they were handed to the students showing their classes schedules. Richard (Dick) Wentz joined the departments programming staff in 1975. In 1977, Jerry Fuchs joined the departments programming staff.
First on-line real-time registration 1978
In 1978 the first true online registration for classes took place. Punch cards had been replaced with online computer terminals on the local system and the selected classes were keyed in and a class schedule for the student was printed immediately. In 1979 Arne Garness joined the department as the first academic support programmer and Judy Odegard joined the department as a data entry operator. A new area was necessary for the computer department and the second floor of Flora Frick, the gym area, was remodeled and became the home for Computer Science and Computer Services with offices and classrooms.
The Minnesota State University system determined that all computer processing would be done at two central sites. Academic processing would be located in Mankato and administrative processing would be done at St. Cloud. This was the start of remote processing over high speed phone lines with modems. It also meant that the onsite computer was no longer needed and remote terminals were installed. The early 80s saw the introduction of personal computers. Apple IIs and other personal computers started being used for academic classes and labs were being created for them. At first personal computers were used for Computer Science but as time past they were being used for other technical classes.
First computer center director 1983
Early in 1983, the combined departments were split into Computer Science and Computer Services. Les Bakke was appointed as the first director of the Computer Services and Marty Holoien continued as chair of the department of Computer Science.
First Data General computer 1983
During the summer of 1983, the Minnesota State Colleges drafted a request for bid for a new distributed administrative computer system. Data General Corporation was selected to supply the new computer system. Data General was one of the very first computer systems with an electronic office application that included word processing, a spreadsheet, e-mail and a calendar. The initial purchase included the computer and 12 terminals. The terminals were placed in administrative offices. In addition to the electronic office functions, the computer also served as a terminal server for the large computer in St. Cloud. Batch processing to was also done through the Data General computer. Financial aid, business office transactions and other administrative data were the bulk of the batch processing.
Academic Data General computer 1985
In 1985, a second Data General computer was purchased for the academic departments. More and more computer terminals were being used for word processing, e-mail and access to administrative applications by both the administrative departments and academic departments. Jerry Nygard joined the department as an electronic technician to maintain the communications of these terminals.
Computer Center moved 1987
MSU received funding to remodel the library, add two floors to the east side of the building and to create a new Computer Center. During the early part of 1987, we installed cables and other computer communications equipment. In July 1987, the entire Computer Center moved from Frick to the second floor of the library. The move included moving four minicomputers, communications lines, terminal servers, line printers in addition to all normal office furniture and supplies. Computer services were restored to the campus by 4:00 pm. Saturday was devoted to making everything else work. Technicians from DEC and Data General assisted with the disconnection and reconnection of the large computers. Campus staff from the Physical Plant and Computer Center did all of the rest of the work. Changes in computing resulted in more computer labs with personal computers being needed for academic use.
MSUS institutional research project 1989
In 1989, John McCune, Administrative Vice President, Bette Midgarden, Associate Academic Vice President and Les Bakke, Computer Center director developed a proposal for the Minnesota State Universities to develop and manage system institutional research. The System office agreed on a contract for services. Iris Gill was hired as the IR analyst. The University provided research services for the system office and state offices for the next ten years. The computer center continued to provide this service until the merger of the Minnesota State Universities, Community Colleges and Technical Colleges. In June 1989 Jim Williamson was hired as a Electronic Technician to assist Jerry Nygard. Bryan Kotta was hired in 1990 as Academic Computer programmer replacing Arne Garness who retired.
MSUS student records software development 1994
Moorhead State University was awarded a System contract to develop a new student records system for the State Universities. Glen Guida was appointed lead developer for the Minnesota State College System. Kim Voegele and Rolly Vipond were hired as programmers. Bid specifications were developed and released. Four vendors responded to the bid and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) was selected as the hardware and software vendor. Rdb was chosen as the database system and Uniface as the fourth generation client software. User groups were defined in the various student and administrative records. With the formation of MNSCU many computer changes took place with the merger. The independence that each campus had in Computer processing was chance to a cooperative between campuses. Moorhead State University was selected to develop the basic student record, registration, term course, curriculum, recruitment and admissions. Other campuses were selected to develop financial aid, human resources, placement, accounting and other modules. Moorhead was chosen as one of four regional computer centers, along with St. Cloud State University, Mankato State University and a site in St. Paul.
Conversion to semesters 1994-95
Semester conversion started in 1994. The Computer Center developed a database application to manage all of the courses changes, degree requirement changes and various levels of approvals. The catalog (Bulletin) created for semesters was done completely electronically. Data was moved from the curriculum database to Printing Services for printing.
Student computer fee 1995
In 1995, a University advisory committee recommended the adoption of a student computer fee. The fee proposal was approved by Administration, the students and by the System office. Fall 1995 was the first term we collected a student computer fee. Jeanne Alm was hired under these funds to provide student help and to manage the computer labs. Also in 1995, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities was created by merging the Technical Colleges, Community Colleges and State Universities. Curt Brosdahl joined the department in 1995 as a programmer.
MnSCU student records development and conversion
In 1997, JoDee Haugrud joined the department as a programmer and later became MSUs first Webmaster. All student and employee records were converted to the new MnSCU records system. Iris Gill moved to the office of Academic Affairs to serve as campus IR director. Craig Beckerleg was hired as her replacement with additional responsibilities of computer support.
Web registration
MSU became the first college in Minnesota to have a complete interactive web registration for students. The application developed by MSU programmers allowed students to register for the upcoming term on-line, on campus or from any computer with access to the web.
MnSCU computer reorganization 1998
MnSCUs system office reorganized the computer services in the spring of 1998. MSU Moorhead employees who worked for the regional center were transferred to MnSCU information technology (IT) division and reported to MNSCU instead of Moorhead. Marc Holland was hired as a Technical Specialist for the ever increasing use of the Internet and remote communications.
In 1999, Amanda Stegmaier joined our department as web assistant. MnSCU computer programming was reorganized with much of the control transferred to the MNSCU system office in St. Paul. In 2000, Bill Scheffler joined the department providing Macintosh support.
The official name of Computer Center/Computer Services was changed to Information Technology in August 2002. The change is consistent with current naming of offices that supply computer support to an organization. The change also reflects the additional responsibilities of the department.
Department Audit - 1977
Moorhead State University
Information Technology Department Audit
March 9, 1977
At least 100 tapes be added to the number of tapes available
The number of tapes used in tape rotation should be increased to provide for better file back-up. In addition, offsite storage of data files should be provided for systems operational at the administrative computer center at St. Cloud.
Provision should be made for off-site backup of the UNIVC 90/30 files and related operations documentation.
Provision should be made for emergency lighting in the event of power failure.
Night computer operators should be instructed in security and emergency procedures.
Logs should be maintained for software and hardware problems. These logs should include the nature of the problem, date reported and follow-up information.
Installation of the standard accounting system of the State University Board should be completed by July 1, 1977. Applications not currently operational on this system such as as student activities, agency accounting and bookstore accounting should be operational by this date. Duplicate accounting systems such as those arising from the local ADR system should be eliminated.
Program testing procedures should be revised to ensure that "live" data files are not used in testing.
On-line student files should be copied and placed in a secure location after update. Sensitive reports and forms such as grade reports and student bills should not be run by student operators.
The staff complement for Computer Services should be increased to the allocated 8 positions.
Sensitive forms such as check forms should be secured when not in use.
The current documentation standards should be used to document present and future systems. A schedule should be adopted for system documentation which leads to complete documentation by January 1, 1978. Priority should be given to the documentation of system operation ad data input preparation.
Standard forms should be adopted for tape rotations and data entry documentation.
Systems now running in production mode should be controlled by the operations staff. Input-output control, tape rotations and job control language should be the responsibility of operations. A schedule for phasing this responsibility from the programmers to the operations staff should be established.
A review should be made of the present procedures relating to financial aids, NDSL and loan accounting to eliminate check posting, list checking and other unnecessary clerical work. In particular, NDSL accounting should be expanded to include detail record keeping by the computer system so that manual ledger posting will not be necessary. The standard student loan accounting system in use at other state universities should be considered for adoption.
A review of computer room keys should be made to ensure that only authorized personnel have keys.
Unauthorized personnel should not be allowed in the computer room. Doors leading to the outside should be provided with closers and locked to prevent unauthorized access.
Smoking should not be allowed in the computer room.
A review of the financial control of NDSL disbursements and accounting should be made. Provision should be made for the separation of reconciliation of the NDSL account from NDSL disbursement and accounting.
Provision should be made for data entry information to be verified when entered by computer services staff. Routines now being developed for key-disk entry by CRT should be expanded to allow verification of critical fields.
Provision should be made for back-up of transactions as they are processed for update.
Suspense account capability should be added to the student system so that money receipted but not posted to a student account can be identified and corrected.
A review of the interfaces between administrative systems should be conducted in an effort to eliminate unnecessary duplication and clerical work.
External controls of the accounting system should be improved to include label checking by the business office. Other administrative systems should be reviewed for the possible inclusion of similar external controls.
A schedule should be enforced for production to provide for better load leveling and planning.
Reports should be reviewed to ensure that titles, headings and dates are included.
The use of the "amount due" field in the student system should be reviewed.
Program Review - 1973
Support Unit Program Review
Computer Services
Moorhead State College
December, 1973
Provide keypunching service to support administrative functions of the college, in particular, those functions carried out by the Registrars Office, Business Office, Financial Aid Office, and the Office of Student Personnel Services.
Provide computer programming support for both the maintenance and development of automated administrative functions.
Provide equipment and personnel to process the data and programs developed by Computer Services staff in conjunction with the Colleges administrative offices.
Provide systems development support for those administrative and academic services requesting it.
Provide equipment and personnel to meet the computer needs of various academic programs, e.g., Business Administration, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Mathematics, New Center, Physics, Psychology, Sociology and others.
Provide programming and systems-development support for the College Librarys functions.
Provide keypunching, operating and programming support so that the College can meet its responsibilities in connection with the State College Accounting and Personnel System.
Be sensitive to ways in which the available Computer Services staff and equipment can assist in accomplishing administrative and academic functions of the College
Be alert to possible ways in which Computer Services can help solve some of the problems of the community in and around Moorhead, particularly as those problems are related to education or to functions of governmental agencies.
Clientele Served
Substantial support is given to the following College offices:
Registrars Office
Admissions Office
Business Office
Financial Aid Office
Housing Office
Food Services
Development Office
Student Personnel Services
Printing Services
The following academic departments utilize Computer Services considerably:
Business Administration
Computer Science
New Center
Speech & Theatre
Virtually all academic departments utilize the test-scoring services
The following College offices or academic departments utilize Computer Services occasionally:
Graduate Studies
Audiovisual Center
Early Childhood Center
Day Care Center
Faculty Senate
Student Senate
Academic Affairs
Presidents Office
Placement Office
Evident of continued or increased demand for computer services.
Administrative departments are required to produce more detailed reports. Computerizing administrative functions makes such reporting possible with virtually no increase in the staffs of those departments. It does mean continued and, likely, increasing support from Computer Services, however.
Moorhead State College must provide data to the State College Accounting and Personnel System in ever-increasing amounts. This is largely a function of Computer Services.
As academic departments see the need for increasing the effectiveness of their programs, more and more of them find support for such increased effectiveness by applying some aspect of computing to their academic activities. Obviously, this involves Computer Services.
One of the purposes of the Minnesota State College System (as stated in the mission statement) is to "lend assistance to individuals, organizations, institutions, and agencies within the community". It appears that Computer Services may be offered an ever increasing opportunity to help the College fulfill this purpose. The Clay County Treasurers Office and the Auditors Office have already requested the assistance of Computer Services in serving area residents.
Public schools in the geographical area served by Moorhead State will likely be looking to the Colleges Computer Services for assistance in acquiring and utilizing computer terminals. Some area high schools are already being given such help, namely, Moorhead, Borup, Ada, Gary and Twin Valley High Schools. As the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) develops, more and more public schools will be acquiring computing capability.

Planned changes in hardware capability
To support administrative functions
With the installation of The State College System administrative computer at St. Cloud, it would seem that no large change in local computing power is necessary. However, because of new pricing policies at Honeywell, that firm has offered Moorhead State College a considerably more powerful computer system at virtually no increase in cost. It would seem the better part of wisdom to take advantage of that offer. Appropriate action is being taken to implement such a change within the next year if possible.
There are some transaction between the college and students that lend themselves to the use of on-line terminals. Reference here is particularly to registration functions and to business office transactions. Further study will be made of the desirability of utilizing such facilities and the wisdom of requesting additional funds to make their installation possible.
To support academic functions
As the number of students and departments utilizing the computer grows, Computer Services must review the quality of the service it provides and make appropriate changes. This process is an on-going one and has in the past resulted in satisfied users.
Three computer systems presently serve the academic computing needs of the college: 1) the on-site Honeywell 115; 2) the remote CDC 6400 (referred to as MERITSS, the acronym for Minnesota Educational Regional Interactive Time-Sharing System); and 3) the remote Univac 1106 (located at Mankato)
The Honeywell 115 has been operational since February 1, 1971. It is used to support several Computer Science courses, in particular the COBOL course and advanced courses dealing with computer operating systems.
MERITSS, the timesharing computer system accessible by students and faculty via teletype terminals or the CRT terminal has been available at Moorhead State since the summer of 1972. At that time the College had five prots (lines to the compute system) and the associated electronic equipment and telephone lines (communications equipment) needed to make them operational. Within the past month changes have been completed which provide the College with nine ports on the MERITTS computer. However, usage had built up on the five ports to the point that often just the most determined users actually got on-line to the computer. Therefore when more ports were added, a backlog of less persistent users took up the slack almost immediately. It is planned that two more ports will be added during the summer of 1974. Plans also include the addition of three terminals (like the ASR 33 teletypes) to provide access to those ports.
The remotely-located Univac 1106 at Mankato is a large computer system used for processing programs too large for the other two systems. It first became available for use at this College during July, 1973. Up to the present time, that computer has been used mostly for performing statistical processing in connection with two Computer Science courses and with research projects conducted by staff members associated with the College.
No changes are planned with respect to the service presently provided utilizing the Univac computer system at Mankato.
Funding for computer equipment
As of July 1, 1973, the funds needed to pay for the lease and maintenance of all computer-related equipment have been budgeted directly to the State College Board Office. The man responsible for this budget is Mr. Carl Long, Director of the State College Management Information System. The local Director of Computer Services submits his equipment budget proposal to Mr. Long who then reviews it and ultimately combines it with similar proposals from the other colleges. The adjusted combined proposal is submitted to the State College Board for adoption. The reason given for this variation in budgetary procedure was that someone in a Board Office position could more easily bring about coordination in the acquisition and utilization of computers in the State College System.
Staffing Information 1973-74
There are presently 2 keypunch operators, one of whom works three-fourths time. The other one does numerous other secretarial tasks in addition to keypunching. Consequently there is, perhaps, 1.25 full-time-equivalent (FTE) keypunch operators. There is one full-time computer operator and two part-time student operators (.6 FTE).
At the present time there are three full time programmers. Most of the work is applications programming but a considerable amount of systems programming is also done.
There is .4 FTE devoted to administration of Computer Services in the person of the Director. In addition to this he serves as chairman and teacher in the Department of Computer Science, statistical consultant, and systems analyst in the development of computerized systems.
Appropriateness of staff
Both as to training and performance in their positions, all resent employees are excellently suited. All of them have been in their positions long enough so that they are well aware of ways in which preset functions are carried out and come up with ideas about how the department can assist other departments in performing their functions.
It is likely that another computer operator should be hired in order to meet the demands of an increasing work load resulting from more and more local applications as well as from the developing State College Accounting and Personnel System. An additional operator would make it possible to do production runs at hours of the day when program development is not utilizing the computer systems.
For the same reasons given for increasing the computer operator staff, and additional keypunch operator may be needed. This will depend to a great extent on the size of the increased work load produced by the developing State College Accounting & Personnel System.

The Wheat and the Tares, the Parable of the Sower, Christ Our Great High Priest, Christ's Holy Sufferings, the Twofold Use of the Law and Gospel, Enemies of the Cross of Christ, On Faith and Coming to Christ, and Of the Office of Preaching. A sampling of sermons given by Martin Luther (1483 - 1546).
Martin Luther (1483 – 1546) was a German monk, priest, professor, theologian, and church reformer. His teachings inspired the Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines and culture of the Lutheran and Protestant traditions, as well as the course of Western civilization. Luther's study and research as a Bible professor led him to question the contemporary usage of terms such as penance and righteousness in the Roman Catholic Church. He became convinced that the church had lost sight of what he saw as several of the central truths of Christianity — the most important being the doctrine of justification by faith alone. He began to teach that salvation is a gift of God's grace through Christ received by faith alone. As a result of his lectures on the Psalms and Paul's letter to the Romans, from 1513-1516, Luther "achieved an exegetical breakthrough, an insight into the all-encompassing grace of God and all-sufficient merit of Christ."

Dec 9 2009Impressive: Kid Makes Beercan Tab Chain Mail
Knight Neversmiles of the
Round Beerpong Table here went and made himself a coat of chain mail armor out of pull-tabs from beer cans. Although there may have been some pop-tops in there too, that wouldn't surprise me. Anyway, he did a good job but there's just no way you can look like a hard-ass wearing chainmail made out of pull-tabs. I mean I could, but I'd also....

and to poster #35, I would love to see something ten times better.... now i can understand how someone would make something better, but TEN TIMES BETTER? this is coming from a guy comparing beauty to female characters from MMOs....
Hell Yeah! Hes From Edmonton!
I need to meet this Guy.
Ill Marry Him, I swear I will.
And perhaps Ill make a wedding Dress out of those damn PullTabs.
OH MAN Thats an epic Idea now that I think about it.
Holy crap! This is f-ing awesome!!! I wanna know how many can-tabs he used? An excellent feat indeed!
For those who think it's cheap and not solid, here's a true story that happen to a friend of mine in a LARP while whearing a similar chain mail:
She was running away for something and got pushed down in a 4 foot hole and landed right on a small tree stump... and then a 200 pound guy fall on her while her back was still on the tree stump... that would have killed or paralyse anyone, when the ambulance came, they had to slice the chain in two, she was hurt, but not badly and the ambulanceman told her she wouldn't had survive if it wasn't for the chain mail! True story!
And for those who think larping is gay, it doen't always look like the 'lightning bolt' video..., it's actualy pretty fun and relaxing, you can get out of your daily life and try something new! But eh, there's always some close minded people, and I don't blame them ;P
That's hawt.
I'll take him and the tin of chocolates please.
I'm a rider fan, but I gotta hand it to you. If you used Pilsner tabs and replaced the E's with an S, I would be asking you where I can order one.
hey guys! thanks for all the cool comments! im so surprised at how many websites this arour is on now! I could make you a saskatcewan suit but i doubt you'd wanna shell out the cash as a lot of hours go into making a suit like this.
If u look at the closeups on the other pages u can see some parts of the suit are doubled up! i was gonna do the whole suit doubled up but then all the sizes started shifting.....
altogether i used around 5000 tabs and about 7500 rings..... or more.. the hood is about 1500 rings i think.....
lawl what a champ XD
google search earth eternal. they use the same EE gold & green emblem (furry haters beware, its a furry MMORPG)
Just saw the use of the word "ambulanceman"
Are firefighters: "Fireguys" and police: " badguycatchers"?

Head has been shaken.

Christians around the world are marking Good Friday.
WITN spoke to a deacon at St. Paul's Catholic Church in New Bern about Good Friday's importance.
Deacon Michael Mahoney says it's the Catholic's salvation marking the death of Jesus. Mahoney describes the crucifixion as the greatest act of love God's son made on his people's behalf.
"We are celebrating the triduum. It's one celebration in three parts," says Mahoney. "Last night was the mass of the lord's supper. Today is the passion of the lord where we enact his suffering and death. Easter we celebrate his resurrection from the grave. Three parts, one great celebration."

Men are supposed to be strong and never cry, no matter what.
Not even when someone close to them dies (they can be sad but not cry, crying is just going to far)
Crying should stop when you are 12-13 years old. Men who cry are pussies. They should suck it up, man up and set an example for younger boys. Real men are NOT emotional.
This is my opinion, what are your thoughts?
There is NO excuse.
Crying is for the weak.
Most Helpful Girl
Humans feel emotion, why should men have to live their lives as if they don't care about anything. Showing emotion shows passion, it shows you care. Is caring a bad thing? My boyfriend is sensitive and he cries sometimes if someone's hurt, if a friend or family member has died. I would think it odd if he didn't.
Key to a relationship is communication, how do you do that without emotion?75|2
You don't have to cry to show emotion. There are many emotions including anger and happiness. Being sad doesn't mean crying. You can be sad without tears. If a man cries, it shows that he isn't strong enough to control himself. Crying is like basically saying "this is too tough, life is too hard, I need someone to hold me, I can't cope on my own, I'm VULNERABLE". Emotional vulnerability is very weak. You don't have to cry to care about some(one/thing). Men are meant to be strong and supportive.
- Show AllShow Less
Fair enough, as long as your happy.
But I thought girls like their men to never cry and be macho and sh*t. I thought crying was a turn-off to girls.
No I think most girls like to see a guy cry sometimes, you can see the emotion and that they care. Obviously not all the time, but then girls crying all the time is annoying too. Men need taking care of too sometimes ;)

Beaten-down chip stocks are rallying (SOXX +2.9%) thanks to pleasing reports from Broadcom, STMicroelectronics, Altera, and others. Interestingly, many Apple (AAPL -4%) suppliers, off initially on the FQ3 miss, are also gaining - even Cirrus Logic (CRUS +3.5%), which has 60%+ exposure. Two possible implications: the Street thinks Samsung will make up for any iShortfall, and/or it's less bothered by Apple's iPhone shipments per se than its margin and ASP declines. (more on AAPL)

FTP's Midlife Crisis: It's Time to Accelerate Your Production Workflow
FTP has performed admirably for 45 years, and it may be a file transfer solution you still depend on. But as file sizes continue to grow and workflows continue to globalize, your business needs to move faster to compete. Join us to learn how continued use of FTP could place your business at risk and why it's time to consider an accelerated file transfer solution to augment and eventually replace your FTP.
From FTP to SaaS: The Changing Landscape of Large File Transfer
Moving content files safely, reliably and securely has always been mission critical to the media industry. And while the transition to digital format has in some ways made moving and sharing content easier, there are still many challenges. File sizes are growing, teams are more dispersed around the globe, and legacy solutions like FTP are unreliable and increasingly problematic. In this webinar you will learn how the transition from FTP systems to next generation SaaS solutions are not only overcoming these challenges but taking businesses to a new level of productivity and professionalism.
Accelerate Delivery of Files into Cloud Storage
Signiant Flight
Many organizations today are utilizing or considering cloud storage, however one of the biggest inhibitors of adoption has been the challenge of getting data and files, especially large files, into the cloud. And for some initiatives – like time-sensitive workflows, large scale ingest, and near real-time analytics – speed of delivery is an important factor that can significantly impact your ability to hit deadlines as well as manage costs.
Signiant CTO, Ian Hamilton, looks at current bandwidth latency challenges, and how Signiant's SaaS solution, Signiant Flight, can help you quickly easily move your large files into the cloud. Learn about:
-Why and when acceleration matters
Shorten post-production workflows by taking advantage of the cloud: An ENVY Post Case Study
Many post-production organizations like ENVY Post are faced with the challenge of sending and receiving large files to local and international clients, whether this is the transfer of rushes from set, the delivery of final masters or providing a collaborative working space for specific projects.
See how cloud solutions helped ENVY Post improve their workflows and overall business efficiency. ENVY discusses specific projects including how they used Signiant's Media Shuttle to collaborate on over 10,000 assets for the archive-based documentary series The 1990's.
Got FTP? Improve Performance, Reliability & the End-user Experience without Replacing Anything
FTP was once the dominant solution for sharing files among distributed groups and teams. It was perceived to be easy and cost effective for any IT team to implement. Many organizations are still using those same FTP servers, but it's not delivering the speed, reliability, flexibility and simplicity their users need. Today's media operations teams are moving faster than ever, and their content needs to move even faster.
In this webcast, Mohammed Aboul-Magd, Product Manager at Signiant, discusses how media organizations can continue to leverage their existing FTP file system AND satisfy their users by supplementing it with a simpler, faster, more reliable file sharing solution, risk free. Learn how you can:
•Augment your FTP systems instantaneously, without interrupting your business
Three Ways to Simplify Movement of Large Digital Assets
The rise of online file sharing services – like Dropbox or Hightail (formerly YouSendIt) – has given media professionals more choices when it comes to moving their content. However, while the user interface makes it easy to send small files, when it comes to large, high-value assets the limitations of these solutions make file sharing difficult and time consuming.
Media Shuttle from Signiant provides a single cloud-based solution for all your file transfer needs. Join Mohammed Aboul-Magd, Product Manager, for this upcoming webcast where he'll share three ways that you can use Media Shuttle to easily send your large digital files anywhere, fast. See how you can:
Securing Your Digital Workflow in the Cloud
Media enterprises of all types have one thing in common today: the need to share valuable content across the digital content supply chain. Large digital media files are difficult to share with existing solutions. As a result, media operations professionals and other users will look to convenient cloud-based file sharing services that lack enterprise security, visibility and control. Without proper safeguarding and corporate management, employees could be putting your organization's valuable digital content at risk of loss.
This insightful recorded webcast includes our panel of experts who draw from real-world examples and discuss how to identify and overcome key security challenges in your digital workflow. View this recording and hear about:
Extreme File Sharing: Three Secrets to Staying in Control of Your Large, High Value Assets
In today's world the most critical, high-value digital assets such as video content, imaging information, design files, and analytics data sets are some of the largest— often tens or even hundreds of gigabytes in size. Sending or sharing these massive files is difficult, especially when security is paramount as they move across the content ecosystem.
More users are turning to inexpensive file sharing services to move their files from point A to point B, but while these resources are good for smaller files — especially when compared to tools such as FTP or online file sharing services — they are lacking when it comes to sharing large, high-value digital files.
Anyone looking to improve the security, speed, and control of their file sharing efforts should view this webcast from Signiant – the market leader in EXTREME FILE SHARING solutions – to learn about Media Shuttle, software designed to move and share large, high-value digital assets. By viewing this webinar you will learn about:
Scaling Your Content Ingest and Distribution Network with Next Generation File Transfer
FTP was once the solution for sharing files among distributed groups and teams. It was easy and cost effective for any IT team to implement. However in today's world the demand on media operations teams for content development and distribution are stronger than ever. As their roles have evolved, so has their need for more powerful, reliable solutions to help manage content distribution.
In this recorded webcast Rick Clarkson, VP of Product Management from Signiant, discusses how you can leverage Media Shuttle from Signiant to deliver a fast, reliable, and affordable solution for moving the largest media files. View this webcast and hear about:
Using the Cloud to Simplify Media File Transfer and Delivery Spec Validation
Enterprise IT organizations are faced with many challenges especially when it comes to media file movement. One major challenge has been the use point file-transfer solutions that are not centrally managed and create barriers for compliance and operational efficiency. These teams are quickly realizing the payoff of implementing a solution that offers both sophisticated management tools and data storage on their network, coupled with a cloud-based user interface that is suitable for anyone in the organization.
View this recorded webcast Mike Nash, Signiant Product Manager, and see a 30-minute demonstration of these two powerful new solutions from Signiant that can help your organization tackle these tasks with ease, without increased infrastructure support – or busting the budget!
Streamlining Media File Format Compliance for Increased Efficiency and Cost Savings
Today's fast-paced and complex media centers require that files of many formats be properly identified, tagged and managed with lightning speed. It is expensive and time wasting to ingest a file that fails to meet both technical and business requirements. Ensuring file conformance at the input stage is both efficient and cost-effective. View this in-depth presentation with AMWA's Executive Director, Brad Gilmer; Turner Television's Vice President of News Technology, Michael Koetter; and Signiant's CTO, Ian Hamilton. and learn about:
Locking Down Digital Content Security
Top security executives at two of the world's largest and globally dispersed media companies, Fox Entertainment and Deluxe Digital Studios, discuss some of the latest techniques for ensuring authentication, authorization, data integrity, data confidentiality and non-repudiation. Adding to the dialogue is noted anti-piracy expert Richard Atkinson of Adobe who provides background on piracy's impact on the entertainment industry. Also, hear from one of today's leading technology providers, Signiant, on techniques for ensuring advanced digital content security.

Hosted by Post Magazine's Editor in Chief, Randi Altman, this interactive session includes a discussion with Mike Rebel, Manager of Digital Media Operations at Modern Videofilm, on the opportunities of migrating to file-based media transfers. A great session for any post-production facility looking to accelerate and streamline media deliveries. Explore key capabilities of an ideal solution, such as:

Signiant's Rick Clarkson sits down with John Koscheka, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Fulfillment and Digital Services at 20th Century Fox, to discuss the many challenges involved with moves by the media and entertainment industry to a completely file-based world. This is not be a PowerPoint presentation. Instead, the interactive Q&A session includes John's responses to questions posed by Signiant and the audience. Sponsored Signiant and Produced by MESA.
Case Study: National Hockey League (NHL)
Hear from Grant Nodine, NHL's VP of Technology, on their evaluation of file movement solutions, why they selected Signiant and the business benefits they have been able to achieve.
"Video is a central platform for engaging NHL fans, both online where we serve them content they cannot get anywhere else, and in arenas where we highlight all of the exciting plays happening in other markets. We are constantly innovating to super-serve our avid fans, and deploying Signiant solutions is an important part of that strategy." – Grant Nodine
Moving Global Content Exchange to the Cloud
Signiant's CTO Ian Hamilton discusses historical challenges and new hybrid approaches to secure file transfer in the cloud. Presented June 20, 2012 at Broadcast Asia, Singapore. (15:32)

I GLADLY accede to the request that I should write a few words introducing this translation of Monsieur Halévy's 'La Formation du Radicalisme Philosophique'. It is a book which I have long known and admired as the most illuminating work on the English Utilitarians, that remarkable school of thinkers and writers who left their mark so deeply on nineteenth-century England, whose influence still works powerfully in us even when we least recognise it. Of the faults of the school we are nowadays conscious enough. We do not nowadays believe in the inevitable blessings of complete laisser faire or in the felicific calculus. Their virtues are more easily forgotten, their unflagging disinterestedness and public spirit, their noble universalism, their amply justified belief in the solid power of clear and courageous thinking. As Monsieur Halévy has shown us, they owe much to French thought. It is a most interesting episode in the international exchange of ideas -- how the thought of Locke, that most English of all phnosophers, with his supreme commonsense, his acceptance of facts, his toleration and his love of liberty, and along with all this his dislike of working out principles to their logical consequences, fructified in France in clear consistent systems, and came back in its French form to inspire Bentham and his successors -- and none is so well equipped to expound it as a Frenchman who has an intimate knowledge of England.
There are two features in Monsieur Halévy's book which seem to me of especial interest and value to us at present. The first is his convincing demonstration of how deeply the Benthamites were influenced by their belief in the possibilities of applying to the study of man and society the principles and methods of the physical sciences. That is the clue to some of the most curious aberrations of their thought, and to much of their short-sightedness. The belief is still with us. It is curious how often men are still found to argue

State of the Sooners: Oklahoma's quarterbacks entering the 2014 spring game
NORMAN — Wrapping up our unit-by-unit look at the 2014 Oklahoma football team, here is a quick glance at the Sooners' quarterbacks entering Saturday's spring game.
No.; Name; Cl.; Ht.; Wt.
9; Trevor Knight; So.; 6-1; 201
14; Cody Thomas; RFr.; 6-5; 209
4; Justice Hansen; Fr.; 6-4; 215
*6; Baker Mayfield; So.; 6-2; 220
* — Mayfield is ineligible to play in 2014 after transferring from Texas Tech.
Quarterback analysis: The future of this position at Oklahoma was 100 percent settled with Knight's spectacular, MVP performance against two-time defending national champion Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Senior Blake Bell, who started eight games at quarterback in 2013, switched to tight end, clearing up any lingering doubt — if there could possibly be any.
The biggest question facing the Sooners now is this: Who will back Knight up? Although the Sugar Bowl showing was nothing short of fantastic, there are still some health questions with the sophomore, who left two of his five starts last season with injuries. That makes the battle between redshirt freshman Cody Thomas and true freshman Justice Hansen all the more intriguing.
Thomas would seemingly have the upper hand considering the season he has already spent on campus, but Hansen enrolled early from Edmond Santa Fe to get a jump on his collegiate career. With Thomas splitting time this spring between baseball and football, does Hansen have a better chance to earn that backup job?
And if Hansen does take his place as the Knight's backup, what would it actually take for Sooner coaches to burn his redshirt? Would Knight have to be injured and out for multiple games, or would Hansen come in for one play — thereby burning his redshirt — if Knight's helmet comes off and he has to sit one play out? What about the final minutes of a blowout victory? These are all questions that will surely have interesting answers.
Mayfield, of course, might have been the clear backup if he wasn't forced to sit out one season because of his transfer. He was excellent at times last year as a true freshman for Texas Tech, and it's a shame that Big 12 rules stipulate he must not only sit out this year, but also lose a season of eligibility, meaning he can't even redshirt in 2014.
Here's a full schedule for the "State of the Sooners" series:
Wednesday, 9 a.m..: Special teams
Wednesday, noon.: Defensive backs
Wednesday, 3 p.m.: Linebackers
Thursday, 9 a.m.: Defensive linemen
Thursday, noon: Offensive linemen
Thursday, 3 p.m.: Tight ends
Friday, 9 a.m.: Wide receivers
Friday, noon: Running backs
Friday, 3 p.m.: Quarterbacks
