The present invention relates generally to computer networks, more specifically to internet data communications, and particulary to the automatic redirection of a digital send to a web page when sending through electronic mail channels becomes restricted.
The following terms and acronyms are used throughout this document; these definitions are provided for the convenience of the reader; however, no limitation on the scope of the invention should be implied herefrom.
"Client-Server": A model of interaction in a distributed computer network system in which a program at one site sends a request to another site and then waits for a response. The requesting program is called the "client," and the program which responds to the request is called the "server." In the context of the World Wide Web ("www" or "web;" defined hereinafter), the client is a "browser;" a program which runs on a computer of an end-user. A program and network computer which responds to a browser request by serving web pages and the like, are referred to as a "server." Specialized servers, such as dedicated electronic mail (defined hereinafter) servers are also known in the art.
"Electronic Mail" ("e-mail"): The process and software for sending and receiving of textual information and attachments thereto between end-users over a distributed computer network such as the internet; internet access providers often include e-mail service to its customers as part of the access software that allows the end user to dial into the internet.
"Hyperlink": An internet navigational link from one document or web page to another, or from one portion or component of a document or web page to another. Typically, a hyperlink is displayed as a high-lighted word or phrase on a web page that can be selected by clicking a mouse screen pointer thereon, resulting in an automatic transfer to the associated document or portion.
"Hypertext System": A computer-based informational system in which documents or other types of data, are linked together via hyperlinks to form a user-navigable web of network or internet sites.
"Internet": A generic term for a collection of distributed, interconnected networks (ARPANET, DARPANET, World Wide Web, or the like) that are linked together by a set of industry standard protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP (defined hereinafter), and the like) to form a global, distributed network.
"Header": A data string defining the attributes such as size, data format, and the like, of an attached message.
"Hypertext Mark-up Language" ("HTML"): A standard coding convention and set of codes for attaching presentation and linking attributes to informational content within documents; the primary standard used for generating web documents. During a document authoring stage, the HTML codes (referred to as "tags") are embedded within the informational content of the document; when the document is subsequently transferred from a server to a client, the codes are interpreted by the browser and used to parse and display the document. In specifying how the browser is to display the document, HTML tags can be used to create hyperlinks to other web documents.
"HyperText Transport Protocol" ("HTTP"): The standard www client-server protocol used for the exchange of information such as HTML documents and client requests for such documents between a browser and the server. HTTP includes a number of different types of messages which can be sent from the client to the server to request different types of server actions. For example, a "get" message which has the format GET<URL> (defined hereinafter) causes the server to return the document or file located at the specified URL.
"PULL": A technology, commonly used as the basis for web communications, in which the client browser must request a specific web page, such as by a hyperlink, before it is sent by a server.
"PUSH": A technology for information dissemination used by a server to send data to users over a network. PUSH protocols send the informational content to the end user computer, or client, automatically, typically based on information pre-specified by the user.
"Uniform Resource Locator" ("URL"): A unique address which fully specifies the location of a file or other resource on the internet. The general format of a URL is "protocol://machine address:port/path/filename." The port specification is optional, and if none is entered by the user, the browser defaults to the standard port for whatever service is specified as the protocol. For example, if HTTP is specified as the protocol, the browser will use the HTTP default port; <HTTP://WWW.HP.COM> is a URL, where postfix ".COM" is a commercial entity, ".EDU" is an educational entity, ".GOV" is a government entity, and ".ORG" is a non-profit organization. Hyperlinks are often URL designations.
"Simple Mail Transfer Protocol" ("SMTP"): A standard protocol which provides the mechanism for sending e-mail messages; an electronic mail Server can use SMTP to forward messages.
"Web Site": A computer system that serves informational content over a network using the standard protocols of the web. Typically, a web site corresponds to a particular internet domain name, such as HP.COM", and includes the content associated with a particular organization such as Hewlett-Packard Company. The term is generally intended to encompass both (1) the hardware/software server components that serve the informational content over the network, and (2) the "back-end" hardware-software components, including any non-standard or specialized components that interact with the server component to perform service for web site users.
"World Wide Web ("web")": Refers generally to both (1) a distributed collection of interlinked, user-viewable hypertext documents ("web documents" or "web pages") that are accessible via the internet, and (2) the client and server software components which provide user access to such documents using standardized internet protocols. Currently, the primary standard protocol for allowing applications to locate and acquire web documents is HTTP, and the web pages are encoded using HTML. However, the terms "web" and "world wide web" as used herein are intended to encompass future mark-up languages and transport protocols which may be used.
The inter-computer communications system known as the internet and world wide web have become a ubiquitous reality more quickly than most previous technology innovations.
E-mail products, e.g., Microsoft™ Exchange Server 5.5 software, run on dedicated mail servers, e.g., the HP™ E60 NetServer computer, are commercially available. In order to control e-mail traffic, many e-mail servers limit the size of e-mail text "messages" or messages and attachments in the form of digital files that can be sent intact, making it problematic to send via e-mail very "large documents" (i.e., an entire informational content data set including text messages, attachments, and the like). Generally in the state of the art a system administrator will set a specified limit for the data set file size about one megabyte as a threshold for allowing unrestricted e-mail transmission. A document is limited to the smallest unit encountered or the message is partitioned. (Hereinafter, the term "LARGE DOCUMENT" is used to mean any message or document which exceeds an e-mail server specified content limit; no limitation on the scope of the invention is intended nor should any be implied from other uses or conventions for this term.)
Image content files, such as photographs, are often much larger than such a specified limit, thus constituting a LARGE DOCUMENT. Similarly, color documents have embedded code for specifying each picture element ("pixel"), in other words, more data per pixel, and thus greatly increase a document data set complete file size. When a server encounters a message having a header indicating that the message or the message and its attachments exceeds the specified limit, the document is either broken into smaller messages or rejected, issuing an error report. Either action results in a substantial transmission delay for the sender and often frustration for the recipient trying to download the files. At the same time, e-mail, including the process of attaching and sending other files such as photographs with the e-mail text, is a popular, simple communication tool.
Similarly problematical, when e-mail messages are addressed by the client to many recipients on different systems simultaneously, e-mail servers create multiple copies of the document and then separately distribute the copies. This is a memory, disk space, intensive procedure, also delaying distribution. Morever, the latest office tool is the "digital sender," a module that can be used with a document scanning apparatus having an automatic document feeder ("ADF") associated therewith or a hard copy printing apparatus. The HP™ model 8100C or 9100C digital sender apparatus can be employed with a multifunctional computer peripheral ("MFP"), such as the HP™ model C7819A digital sender appliance for an LaserJet™ MFP which includes a laser printer, scanner-copier, and the digital sender, thus having the capability to transmit copies of LARGE DOCUMENTS to a plurality of clients simultaneously, to another LAN (via a network server), to computers, to a fax machine, or the client receivers sitting on the LAN. The digital sender includes options to transfer the copies via facsimile transmission or via e-mail by providing a control panel employing an e-mail addressing user interface.
FIG. 1 (Prior Art) is a drawing of the HP Digital sender. From the end user's point of view, operation is similar to a facsimile machine transmission; from an information technology ("IT") standpoint, administration may be more complex as the data content is sent over a digital network such as a local area network ("LAN"), wide area network ("WAN"), or the like.
FIGS. 1B-1F (Prior Art) show details of the LCD user control panel. An importable, programmable address book feature allows for simultaneous distribution to every addressee in the book.
Thus, either sending LARGE DOCUMENTs or sending documents to many recipients may overly tax the capability of an e-mail server.
One prior solution is to have the digital sending device always break image documents apart at physical or logical page boundaries. This is slow and inconvenient for the end-users. An even less acceptable solution is for the sender himself or herself to break the document into multiple send jobs before trying to transmit.
There is a need for an automatic, user-transparent solution to the problem of sending large data files when the end user is using an e-mail program.
In a basic aspect, the present invention provides process for transmitting a data set over a computer network, including the steps of: predetermining a data set size threshold; determining a data set size; and if said data set size is less than said threshold, transmitting via electronic mail, or if said data set size is greater than said threshold, transmitting to a data storage site.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a system for transmitting data sets over a network including: at least one digital sender coupled to the network, having a plurality of computing devices thereon, said computing devices each having electronic mail and computer network navigation tools; and mechanisms for routing data sets over the network, including mechanisms for determining size of a data set to be routed to a predetermined electronic mail destination, mechanisms for comparing a determined data set size to a threshold, mechanisms for rerouting the data set from electronic mail to a data storage site when said determined data set size is greater than said threshold, and mechanisms for substituting an electronic mail message, including a link to the data site, to the predetermined electronic mail destination when said determined data set size is greater than said threshold.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a multifunctional peripheral apparatus for a computer network, including: a document digitizing subsystem; connected to the document digitizing device, a sending module for transmitting a data set created with the document digitizing device; and associated with the sending module, a routing subsystem for determining if a data set is to be transmitted via electronic mail or via a data storage unit.
In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a computer memory including: a program for routing data sets over a computer networking, including computer readable coded instructions for predetermining a data set size threshold; computer readable coded instructions for determining a data set size; and if said data set size is less than said threshold, computer readable coded instructions for transmitting via electronic mail, or if said data set size is greater than said threshold, computer readable coded instructions transmitting via a data storage site.
Some of the advantages of the present invention are:
it provides an e-mail user with system behavior exactly as expected when sending typical e-mail messages;
it provides transparent, automatic, system alteration when a LARGE DOCUMENT exceeds server specified data file size limits for e-mail handling;
it provides a methodology by which a recipient always receives a LARGE DOCUMENT intact;
the average cost of sending a LARGE DOCUMENT could be significantly reduced by not sending the largest or most widely distributed document through a plurality of e-mail servers;
it provides the recipient with a choice for downloading a LARGE DOCUMENT;
remote end-user recipients can access web located LARGE DOCUMENTs with any browser and eliminate having to download from their e-mail provider; and
environments commonly using complex, LARGE DOCUMENTs are provided with simpler operations and greater confidence in digital sending.
The foregoing summary and list of advantages is not intended by the inventors to be an inclusive list of all the aspects, objects, advantages and features of the present invention nor should any limitation on the scope of the invention be implied therefrom. This Summary is provided in accordance with the mandate of 37 C.F.R. 1.73 and M.P.E.P. 608.01(d) merely to apprise the public, and more especially those interested in the particular art to which the invention relates, of the nature of the invention in order to be of assistance in aiding ready understanding of the patent in future searches. Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon consideration of the following explanation and the accompanying drawings, in which like reference designations represent like features throughout the drawings.

The drawings referred to in this specification should be understood as not being drawn to scale except if specifically annotated.
Reference is made now in detail to a specific embodiment of the present invention, which illustrates the best mode presently contemplated by the inventors for practicing the invention. Alternative embodiments are also briefly described as applicable.
Referring to FIG. 2—an exemplary network implementation—a client or plurality of client stations is on LAN, represented by the line labeled "TCP/IP Network" which includes a plurality of MFP's 101, 102 including digital sender 100 units, and a plurality of workstations 103, 104, and at least one server 105. An e-mail software module for the SMTP standard is shown on the server 105; note that other internet e-mail standards as may be adopted can be employed. The server 105 for this example also includes digital sender software (digital sender module or "DSM") shown as a box labeled "DSM" and other programs for running the TCP/IP Network communications. For this exemplary embodiment, the programmed process in accordance with the present invention is shown as a box labeled "REROUTER" 109. It should also be noted that in the alternative, the digital sender as a standalone apparatus 101, 102 could serve as a network server in and of itself and employ the process of the present invention; and, each workstation 103, 104 can in fact be a personal computer with the appropriate e-mail software on its hard drive. The TCP/IP Network is coupled to the public internet or world wide web shown as element 106 and simply referred to hereinafter as "the internet 106" or "the web 106."
The REROUTER module 109 process in accordance with the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3A-3D. The REROUTER module 109 can be implemented as computer readable, digital code instructions. FIG. 3A is the basic methodology for the process 300, added to the e-mail process on-board the server 105 or, if so configured, on-board the MFP-based DSM itself. The Digital sender 100 starts the data flow, step 301, receiving and formatting a data set, or document, to be transmitted, step 303. The DSM REROUTER module ("DSMR") 109 is supplied by the system administrator with the knowledge of a predetermined threshold, e.g., 2-Mbytes, for the net server 105 transmitting a document intact as a regular, single, e-mail transmission. The DSMR 109 tests the document to determine if it is a LARGE DOCUMENT, step 305; further detail of step 305 decision as to whether the document is greater than the threshold, constituting a "LARGE DOCUMENT," is shown in FIG. 3B, via any known manner decision algorithm. Effectively, the system administrator can set a document threshold, e.g. 1-Mbyte. If such a threshold in fact is set, step 305A, YES-PATH, then the actual size of the next document to be sent is determined, step 305B, and compared to the threshold, step 305C, and the decision routed accordingly, steps 305D or 305E.
Assume for the moment that the document is a LARGE DOCUMENT, viz., greater than the system administrator's predetermined threshold for e-mail documents, step 305-NO path. Since the LARGE DOCUMENT can not be sent intact over the threshold restricted e-mail channel, the DSMR reformats certain content of the LARGE DOCUMENT and reroutes it, step 307. Further detail of step 307 is shown in FIG. 3C. In accordance with the present invention, the LARGE DOCUMENT is directed to a web site for temporary storage intact. Thus, in order to do so, the DSMR 109 now must make the LARGE DOCUMENT and make it compatible with web sites which, as noted in the Background section above, use different protocols for formatting and locating information data set.
First, the LARGE DOCUMENT is provided with HTML coding, attaching presentation and linking attributes to informational content within the LARGE DOCUMENT, step 401. This is known as providing an HTML "Wrapper."
Next, step 403, the LARGE DOCUMENT and its Wrapper are copied to a predetermined directory, namely, a web site. The web site can be any manner of virtual courier service, e.g., United Parcel Service's commercially available web site at http://www.ups.com, or a virtual document escrow service, or virtual document storage site set up by the sending or receiving LAN themselves, or the like as would be known in the state of the art, represented in FIG. 2 simply as on-line storage 107.
Next, step 405, the DSMR 109 embeds a URL in an e-mail message which is substituted for the LARGE DOCUMENT.
Next, step 407, the e-mail message is sent to all intended recipients. An exemplary e-mail message as might be received by each recipient is shown in FIG. 4. In this example, the URL is "http://architect.com." Clicking on the URL will cause the recipient's workstation to transfer to the web site and, assuming the recipient has Microsoft™ PowerPoint Show™ software, the LARGE DOCUMENT will open automatically or upon command selected from the browser program. The DSMR process for this LARGE DOCUMENT is essentially done, step 309.
Returning to FIG. 3A, as noted earlier, a transmission may constitute more than one recipient so that the document may by within the threshold, but the "job" may exceed the predetermined job threshold for e-mail, where
where document size and threshold values are in standard units such as bytes Mbytes, Gbytes, etc., as current to the state of the art. Therefore, a second test, step 311, is required if it is determined that the document is within the threshold for direct e-mail transmission, step 305, YES-path. The details of step 311 are shown in FIG. 3D. If the threshold is essentially unlimited, step 501, NO-path, the job is determined as being within the threshold, step 503, and the job is approved, step 311, YES-path, and sent to each recipient via normal e-mail, step 313, FIG. 3A. Assuming there is a predetermined job threshold, step 501, YES-path, the document size is determined, step 505, and the TTDS is calculated, step 507. Next, step 509, a determination is made as to whether the job size is less than the job threshold. If so, step 509, YES-path, the entire job is approved, step 503, and sent via e-mail, step 313, FIG. 3A. The job is essentially done, step 309. If not less than the job threshold, step 509, NO-PATH, the job is so designated, step 511, and rerouted, step 311, NO-path (FIG. 3A) to processing and web site delivery, step 307 (FIGS. 3A and 3C).
Thus, the present invention provides a method 300 and apparatus 200 for determining 305-313 if a data set 303 for transmission can be sent directly via e-mail 313, given predetermined thresholds for sending, or whether it is more expedient to reroute the data set to a web site 307. Every time a user sends document to e-mail, transparently the size of the document/job is compared to the thresholds and the system automatically determines the best available routing, reformatting 401-407 if necessary.

About 700 first-time international students came to Iowa City this fall, bringing the international student total to about 3,700. These students represent 111 countries and are a part of every field of academic study available at UI.
For these students, making the move to Iowa City can be nerve-racking, exciting and, at times, a downright daunting experience. For 41 years, the University of Iowa Friends of International Students has worked to make the transition to America easier by connecting international students with members of the Iowa City community — called friends — to help the students feel more comfortable away from home and introduce them to American culture and customs.
Introducing John Cabot University, an American university located in the heart of Rome. Now enter professors from the prestigious International Writing Program (IWP), the University of Iowa's unique residency program for international writers. The occasion for their meeting? The first annual Italy Writes Creative Writing competition for Italian high school students.
University of Iowa officials are expecting to see a rise in international students in the graduate programs this fall, a trend that exists at the national level.
Graduate College Dean John Keller said the UI expects somewhere close to a 12 percent increase in the number of international students in its graduate programs.
Nationally, there was a 9 percent increase in the number of international students attending graduate schools, according to the Council of Graduate Schools.
University of Iowa freshman Yaqiong Wang came from China to Iowa City with competing feelings of nervousness and excitement. Now thousands of miles from home, she signed up for new UI program in hopes of finding her place on campus.
"I was a bit nervous," she said. "We have many things different, different culture. If I signed up for this program I can make friends with American[s], which will help me to understand their culture and also practice my English."
The UI's first Friends and Neighbors Day program paired more than 200 international and U.S. students over the summer as pen pals. The partners were introduced to each other at an event Sunday.
Season four of International Programs' WorldCanvass series begins on Friday, Sept. 21, with a critical look at the life, times, triumphs, and defeats of one of the major figures in European history, Napoleon Bonaparte. Hosted by Joan Kjaer, WorldCanvass explores international topics through lively conversation between scholars and community experts. The program is produced in the Senate Chamber of the Old Capitol Museum one Friday a month from 5-7 p.m., and is distributed widely through television, radio and iTunes. No tickets are required and the public is invited to attend.
Study Abroad in International Programs invites all UI students to discover global education opportunities during the annual study abroad fair Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second floor of the University Capitol Centre.
Stop by the fair to learn about opportunities to study, work, volunteer, or intern abroad. Fair attendees will have a chance to win door prizes, including study abroad scholarships and gift certificates to local travel agencies.
The fall 2012 Proseminar in Cinema and Culture: "The Moving Image Among the Arts" will feature weekly screenings and discussion on Thursday evenings throughout the semester. All screenings are free and open to the public and will begin at 6:30 p.m. in 101 BCSB (Becker Communication Studies Building) unless otherwise noted. The series begins August 23 with "Pictura: An Adventure in Art," which will be the first U.S. screening of the film in 60 years.
Despite an already robust international student population on campus, University of Iowa officials are still looking to bridge the gap between the UI and other countries by hiring someone to focus specifically on recruitment in Asia.
The UI Admissions Office hired Ying Xu over the summer to take on the role of assistant director of Admissions for China and Asian recruitment. Xu told The Daily Iowan she was particularly excited to start working because the Chinese market of students is growing.
Recent UI graduate Brandon Jennings participated in the Critical Language Scholarship Program in Morocco this summer. He shares some of the most interesting parts of his journey in this blog entry.
Given the importance of ensuring that students graduate on time and are equipped to be successful in their careers, and given the emphasis the University of Iowa is giving to student success, my earlier post addressed the connections between study abroad and student success. Since then, the number of students studying abroad has gone up a bit: now over 20% of UI undergraduates study abroad at some point during their time at the University, which is a significant and encouraging number. However, as I noted previously, the study abroad population remains strongly female, and there is still significantly lower participation among minorities than among white students.
A group of University of Iowa professors and local media professionals hope that their summer trip to Turkey was a cornerstone to building further relationships with educational institutions and media entities in that country.
Led by David Perlmutter, director of the UI School of Journalism and Mass Communication, the group visited Turkey June 15-24 to learn about Turkish media and culture. The trip was hosted by the Niagara Foundation, an organization that promotes global fellowship. The Niagara Foundation paid for all costs except for airfare to and from Turkey and the registration fees, which attendees paid for individually.
Special to the China Post --University of Iowa President Sally Mason led a delegation to Taiwan last month, meeting with several local university heads to discuss interschool cooperation and to promote international cultural exchanges.
There is a long history of Chinese students at the University of Iowa, Mason said, adding that two education ministers from the Republic of China — Yen Cheng-hsin and Wu Ching — graduated from the university.
SPAN Magazine: Bridging U.S.-India Relation, a publication produced by the U.S. Embassy in New Dehli, recently released an article on the University of Iowa's India Winterim Program. This 3-week UI course offers students an opportunity to study and participate with grass-roots organizations in India focused on social entrepreneurship, sustainability, public health and more.
The annual report for the Japan Outreach Initiative, which details educational Japanese outreach activities throughout the state of Iowa, is now published. Yume Hidaka served as the UI's Japan Outreach Initiative (JOI) coordinator during her two-year stay in UI International Programs. She completed more than 100 visits in 25 cities to Iowa K-12 schools, libraries, senior centers, and communities, bringing a deeper understanding of Japan to Iowans through interactive presentations about everything from daily life and school in Japan to common greetings and business etiquette.
After spending half of her college career at the University of Iowa studying overseas, Michelle Gin already is an extensive world traveler with a global perspective.
Next month, though, she will see the world from an entirely different vantage: atop her bicycle. The Iowa City woman is one of about three dozen activists from around the world set to pedal across Japan in August on a two-week, 300-mile trek that will take her from Nagasaki to Hiroshima in the name of global peace and the end of nuclear proliferation.
I wake with a start at 7:00 AM to the sound of the Chinese National Anthem through my window. Somehow its melodies seem too grand for a daily occurrence. Nevertheless, it plays faithfully over the school's loudspeakers every morning; waking me like some patriot's alarm clock. I lay in my bed, motivating my body to move while the children of Liewu Public Middle School stand to attention on the other side of the thin wall that separates my apartment building from the school courtyard...
Former Hawkeye athlete and three-time All-American runner Diane Nukuri-Johnson will compete in the marathon for her home country of Burundi on Aug. 5 at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
President Sally Mason says that while University of Iowa officials are not planning to increase student enrollment, the university will continue to pursue international relations and make connections with alumni and prospective students overseas.
The international-student population at UI has increased by roughly 60 percent since 2007. As part of an effort to manage this increase, officials launched an immigration software last month that allows international students to access immigration-related documents online via iHawk — an online service specifically for foreign students.
My stomach growling in anticipation, I follow my nose and compliantly slip out of the drizzle into the bright restaurant to my right. It is astonishingly small, just a few tables packed snugly into a dingy storefront. The menus consist of single sheets of paper with lists of indecipherable Chinese characters, and though I always hope for menus with pictures, a good option for the illiterate eater in China is to find something you like and stick with it. In my case, this is the famous, the magical, Gong Bao ji ding (Kung Pao chicken).
The University of Iowa College of Education may soon offer a shorter, three-week program to education majors who would like to fulfill their student-teaching requirement abroad.
Margaret Crocco, the dean of the education school, said the standard study-abroad program offered to education majors is seven or eight weeks long — roughly half of the 15-week student-teaching period required. She has recently looked into creating a shorter program because the eight-week commitment is a long period of time and quite costly.
Three University of Iowa students and alumni have been awarded Fulbright U.S. Student Program grants to conduct research internationally in 2012-13. This year's UI recipients are Lynne Ann Larsen, Andrea Rosenberg, and Sean Tolentino.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government. It is designed to increase understanding between people of the United States and other countries by providing participants opportunities to study, teach, conduct research, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
This summer I spent six weeks in the village of Jucuapa Occidental, Nicaragua building a footbridge with Bridges to Prosperity and researching how different mixing methods affect the strength of concrete used in the bridge. The trip was a wonderful experience and although I learned a lot about construction and concrete, the lessons I learned from the people I met may be what I end up cherishing most.
I'm not really one to be picky about the authenticity of ethnic food in America. Like all who have experienced its magic, I too was entranced by the bucatini all'amatriciana served up in the street cafes of Rome and Florence, but at the same time I can appreciate Olive Garden for what it is. I can sympathize with the difficulty of re-creating beyond French borders the delicate flakiness of a croissant or the perfect baguette (soft, light interior + crunchy crust), and am equally forgiving of Tex-Mex (my favorite and most dearly missed cuisine when I'm abroad). As a rule, as long as it's tasty, I will accept it with an open mind and mouth. Until China.
University of Iowa and state media experts hope a recent trip to the Middle East will strengthen relations with educational institutions in Turkey — a country they say is not so different from our own.
UI School of Journalism and Mass Communication faculty members, along with Iowa news professionals, visited Turkey June 15-24 to learn about Turkish media and culture. The intercultural trip was hosted by the Niagara Foundation, an organization that promotes global diversity and cultural connection.
While Turkey is in the midst of strengthening its higher-education system, UI faculty found that building connections with Turkish institutions could benefit both countries.

He will not be on the dining plan, but I will be. I have booked a couple of ADRs for 2 people and I am wondering if I move up to the Deluxe plan, will I be able to use 2 of my TS credits at our meals? I'll be paying with my KTTK card, but do they check to see how many are in my resort reservation or do they just check for available credits? I'm not trying to get pull a fast one on the restaurant, but they are my credit to use as I want, no?

Testimonial for one of our Spring 2016 Artists, Patricia Jarrett:
I just want to let you know that I just listened to your video and I just loved it! I haven't really painted for a while and my confidence was at about zero. Also, I am not an artist to say the least, but I have found that I can learn. After listening to your video I felt that my confidence came up a little. I felt that I think I can can do this or at least I can try and at least enjoy it. I just love how you teach. I love that you don't rush through the class. I listen to another class before yours and found it very intimidating. The teacher seamed very good but for me at this time it was too fast. It must be very hard to please everyone. But I love yours. Thank you very much for your class. I look forward to following you and your work. I saw that you are going to be at NET and I am hoping to be able to go and maybe take a class. Thank you Helene

AbstractThere are a number of noise sources on a typical wind turbine, including tower-blade interaction, gust-induced noise, trailing edge noise, and power train noise. Significant improvements in noise reduction and/or noise isolation have been made to many of the mechanical and tonal noise sources, but the turbulence-associated noise sources (gust-induced and trailing edge) remain difficult to control. A physics-based optimization procedure will be implemented to reduce the dominant noise mechanism found on wind turbines. We will add a shape optimization capability to an existing high fidelity simulation platform to understand and minimize the trailing edge noise radiated by the turbine blade airfoil section. Our novel simulation technique will reduce the trial and error character of current design methodologies, and should shorten future design cycles and reduce cost. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: Reduction of the environmental impact of large turbines on its surrounding area is a key challenge that impedes the wide adoption of wind turbines capable of providing a larger fraction of the country

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

New poll finds landslide support for voter ID
There are 57 comments on the The Santa Fe New Mexican story from Mar 5, 2009, titled New poll finds landslide support for voter ID. In it, The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that:While the Legislature routinely rejects Republican efforts to require New Mexico voters to show identification when casting ballots, a newly released nonpartisan poll indicates voters would approve the idea by ...

similarly, as long as the new mexican is touting the pulse of the community, how about a poll on whether santa fe should be a sanctuary city.
it is an on line proposal.
vote and let the mayor, councilors and editorial staff of the new mexican appreciate your perspective on the matter.
#47 Mar 16, 2009
Common Sense,
Your comments were timely and informative. Aside from all the usual Republican/Democrat/Obama nonsensere posted by others; you hit the nail squarely on the head.
Very important issue very important topic.

People like PlacitasRoy never saw a person without the right to vote. Felons, illegals, underage...whatever. Gosh, Roy has been an election judge, and with fellow judges, knows personally all of the voters. Gosh, impressive.
Betcha Mr. Roy is totally in favor of digitally recording everyone's medical records. No ID required of course, just mix his records up with someone else's. Yeah, no problem there.

None of the problems that you mentioned would be solved by requiring photo ID. Photo ID is the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
#51 Mar 17, 2009
Steve, do you have a problem with showing ID when traveling by plane to the U.S. from Japan? Getting on a plane and showing who you are is less important than voting in my opinion.
Aside from that, why would ANYONE have a problem with showing ID? I can only think of one reason.....fraud.
#52 Mar 17, 2009
Placitas, I will make a bet with you. I will bet you that this is a true story and have it verified with the clerks office....you come with me to verify. And then when you get proof in person, you have to post on this blog that you were wrong!
Since: Sep 08
#53 Mar 17, 2009
As I pointed out earlier in this thread, there is nobody for me to show photo ID to. To whom should I show my ID? The Japanese postal clerk who takes my paper absentee ballot? Should I expose my passport to my computer screen when I vote by e-mail? Or should I take a couple of days off work and spend about $500 to go to Tokyo to show my passport and ballot to some official at the American Embassy? Just to get a document notarized costs more than $100.
Most voter fraud takes place with absentee ballots. Nobody shows ID to anyone when they vote absentee. Requiring photo ID only for people who actually go to the polls does absolutely nothing to prevent voter fraud where it actually occurs, which is with voters who don't go to the polls.
If I were required to spend a lot of my own money to travel back to the United States to appear at a poll in Santa Fe and show photo ID to vote, I might be able to do that. But it would be a horrible inconvenience. Many otherwise qualified voters would be totally disenfranchised.
#54 Mar 17, 2009
I ain't making a nonsensical bet or going anywhere to meet someone who isn't going to show up.
What did the newspaper say when you reported it to them? How about those 'investigative' eyewitness news TV reporters? They're always looking for a hot button scandal. What did the DA say? And most importantly what did the REPUBLICAN US Attorney say?
I still don't believe it.

#55 Mar 17, 2009
It doesn't surprise me about the poll. Hell Dubya and the boys got 80% or so of the folks believing there were WMDs in Iraq. Same bunch running the 'voter fraud' propaganda effort. Fat Druggie and the other Reich-wing hate merchants, Foxhole, and the wingnuts.
#56 Mar 17, 2009
All good points, but I still don't see why it is an issue to show an ID when a person is voting at the poles. I know in my case, there was a checkmark nest to my name that indicated I voted at the poles....which is how I discovered someone voted in my place.
#57 Mar 17, 2009
Didn't think you would take the bet. Man, your tirades about the right wing conspiracy is getting tiresome. I am not trying to make a fight with you, just letting you know of MY EXPERIENCE. That's all.

#58 Mar 17, 2009
Your story doesn't jive. If you voted in person at an early voting site, that is printed on the voter roll print out we judges have at the site. If there was a check mark on the voter roll, there is a signature on the other copy of the voter roll.
" When voting early, the voter shall provide the required voter identification to the county clerk or the clerk's authorized representative. If the voter does not provide the required voter identification, the voter shall be allowed to vote on a provisional ballot. If the voter provides the required identification, the voter shall be allowed to vote after subscribing an application to vote in accordance with secretary of state rules. The county clerk or the clerk's authorized representative shall make an appropriate designation on the signature roster next to the voter's name indicating that the voter has voted early." Section 1-6-5.7 Early voting; use of absentee voting procedures; alternate voting locations.

Or they don't have one. There are ID requirements....just no photo ID

"The number of foreign nationals who are voting illegally in local, state, and federal elections has risen over the years. Why? Because the U.S. government continues to lower voting requirements, such as no longer requiring that voters attest to U.S. citizenship. According to an article in The Hill, the Colorado secretary of state indicates that about 5,000 illegal aliens voted in that state in 2010."

LAURA ROBSON had no problem getting into the Olympic groove — after the
Wimbledon crowd belted out God Save the Queen.
The Brit, 18, produced one of the best results of her career to smash Czech
world No 23 Lucie Safarova 7-5 6-4 and set up a second-round clash with
Maria Sharapova today.
Robson, ranked 96 in the world, said: "The crowd started singing God Save the
Queen in my warm-up.
"You definitely wouldn't get that at Wimbledon. It was very funny.
"After every point they were pumping me up and they were so loud. It was like
a US Open atmosphere — it was great."
And Robson was not the only Brit to make it through to the next round.
Heather Watson carried on from her impressive run of form by seeing off
Spain's Silvia Soler Espinosa 6-2 6-2.
Guernsey's Watson, 20, will play Wimbledon quarter-finalist Maria Kirilenko
and knows she's making waves because Roger Federer — who eased into the
third round beating Frenchman's Julien Benneteau — knows her name.
Watson said: "During Wimbledon Roger came into a room I was sitting in
watching the end of a match and said 'Hi Heather, great job so far'.
"I was like 'What? How did you know?' It was so cool he knew how I was doing."
But Elena Baltacha was not able to make it a treble after she lost 6-4 7-6 to
Serb Ana Ivanovic in the second round.
And there was no joy for her in the doubles, either. Along with Anne
Keothavong she crashed out to German pair Julia Goerges and Anna Lena
Groenefeld 6-3 6-1.

School District of the City of Pontiac
The School District of the City of Pontiac (or Pontiac School District, PSD) is a public school district headquartered in the Odell Nails Administration Building in Pontiac, Michigan, United States.[1]
The school district serves all of the city of Pontiac, portions of Auburn Hills, Lake Angelus and Sylvan Lake as well as segments of the townships of Bloomfield, Orion, Waterford, and West Bloomfield.[2][3][4]
The 2015 Board of Education consists of Brenda Carter - President, William Carrington - Vice President, Caroll Y. Turpin - Secretary, Karen L. Cain - Treasurer, Susan Loveland - Parliamentarian, April Hernandez - Trustee, and Sherman Williams II - Trustee. Kelley Williams is the Superintendent.
|This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (May 2014)
In June 2013 the Michigan Education Association's health insurance division stated that it was owed $11 million in premiums from the Pontiac district, so it planned to end benefits for teachers of the district on July 31 of that year; according to a lawsuit settlement, taxpayers in the district were required to pay $7.8 million of it. Administrators, secretaries, and teachers had been paying over 20% of their health care premiums out of pocket.[5]
On Wednesday July 3, 2013 the state of Michigan conducted a preliminary review of the district, and the result was an indication of "probable financial stress". Governor of Michigan Rick Snyder stated that he was going to have a full review of the district conducted by a team appointed by him.[6]

An atypical Guatemala! Similar to a geisha in complexity and very nuanced. Tropical, peachy flavor, with a mix of fruit that reminds us of white wine sangria. Truly a conversation starter, and sure to challenge anyone's conception of what "coffee" tastes like.
This coffee shows a lot of complex fruit characteristics that are varied between melons, orchard fruit, stone fruit and tropical fruit. We love this coffee for its richness, sweetness and overall fruit cornucopia type complexity. Notes of Rainier cherry, melon, papaya, and pear juice.

State warns retailers about roll-your-own tobacco machines
The Wisconsin chapter of the American Cancer Society and other anti-tobacco groups are applauding a letter sent out Friday by the state Department of Revenue warning owners of "roll your own tobacco" machines that they must comply with state law and quit avoiding paying cigarette taxes.
According to state law, if a retailer or the retailer's customer operates a so-called RYO machine on the retailer's premises that makes cigarettes with loose tobacco, the retailer becomes a cigarette manufacturer and distributor.
In that case, the retailer must obtain manufacturer and distributor permits from the Department of Revenue. Under state law, the retailer also must obtain certification from the state Department of Justice to be placed on its approved directory of cigarettes for sale in Wisconsin, and obtain certification from the state Department of Safety and Professional Services that the cigarettes meet fire safety performance standards.
Allison Miller, government relations director for the cancer society, said the self-service machines are out in the open and potentially accessible to underage customers.
"A cigarette by any other name is still a cigarette," Miller said. "Our concern is that these roll-your-own machines are skirting the law just enough to make their deadly products much more affordable and appealing, especially to youth."
Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, also expressed support for the action.
"We applaud Gov. Scott Walker and Department of Revenue Secretary Richard G. Chandler for their leadership in acting to protect health and fairly enforce the state's laws," Myers said.
"The proliferation of cheap roll-your-own cigarettes, which seek to evade higher taxes on regular cigarettes, poses both a serious public health problem that encourages more smoking and a serious budgetary problem that is costing Wisconsin and other states much-needed revenue," Myers said.
Over the last decade, Wisconsin's cigarette tax has increased from 59 cents a pack to $2.52 a pack.
The state estimates there are 50 to 100 roll-your-own machines in the state.
According to the cancer society, tobacco use costs Wisconsin $2.8 million a year in health care costs.

The on-loan Arsenal midfielder limped out of Saturday's 4-0 win at Mansfield with a hamstring injury, but Holloway expects him to be fit for the trip to Brisbane Road.
He said: "Jerome isn't our player, he's Arsenal's and we have to be careful. I took him off as a precaution as his hamstring was tight, but it wasn't the one that troubled him before. He should be fine."
Clark Carlisle should also figure against Orient, after making his first league appearance in 20 months at Field Mill.
Holloway said: "I was delighted to be able bring Clark on after so long out, and very happy with the performance. Once we scored the second goal we were able to relax, and play more naturally. I can't really argue with the result, but that doesn't mean there aren't areas that can't be improved."Reuse content
