Technology news for UMD faculty, staff and students
September 2006
Secure Email
Unless configured to use secure (encrypted) protocols, email programs send your username, password, and email content as clear text that can possibly be intercepted by others - particularly on a wireless network. You should check your email program's settings to make sure your incoming (IMAP or POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers are configured to use secure settings. Beginning January, 2007, only email clients configured to use secure settings will be able to connect to the UMD email servers to send and receive mail.
The Twin Cities campus made the switch to requiring secure settings a while back and UMD is going to require this change at UMD this Fall. We'll be advertising this a number of ways including targeted reminder notes later this semester to those who we notice are still using non-secure settings.
For Mulberry users, the only version of Mulberry that will work after this December is the Mulberry 3.1.6 Secure version we've had available for the past few years. Older versions do not support secure protocols. Mulberry 3.16 does not run on Mac OS9 so those who have not updated to OSX will no longer be able to use Mulberry.
Our secure email instruction pages provide step-by-step instructions for those who are first configuring an email program or who are already using a program and just need to add the secure settings.
Any email program that supports secure settings should work with our UMD email system. We have secure configuration pages for using IMAP with the most recent versions of the following programs:
- Mulberry
- OSX Mail
- Thunderbird
- Mozilla/Netscape
- Entourage
- Eudora 7 for Windows
- Eudora 6 for OSX
- Outlook
Webmail update
This fall we are testing a new version of Webmail. Our email web page http://www.d.umn.edu/email allows you to select either the new version of webmail or the older version. Data such as address books and preferences have not yet been moved from the old version of webmail to the new version. We would like to hear what you think of the new version and have provided an easy way to send feedback to us on the webmail selector page.
The new webmail version significantly speeds up listing email headers in your inbox by a method called caching. This eliminates the need to reread your inbox every time you read or send an email message. Another feature is a "virtual mailbox" which shows only your unread messages. This is handy when all you want to do is watch for new and unread messages as they come into your inbox. There are many other features available for the new webmail systeam and if testing goes well we may add in some of these after the end of fall semester.
Email Blocking
Keeping the bad stuff out, and how to let the good stuff in
ITSS has been blocking email from known spam and virus sites for more than two years now. We use a variety of blocking techniques, including looking at commercial block lists, using greylisting, and making our own checks on sender's servers. If a sender's email coming to UMD is blocked, it is almost surely because the sender's email server is poorly configured or on a block list.
Using email blocking enables us to eliminate between 60 and 90 percent of the email sent to UMD, nearly all of which is spam or viruses. For example, on August 28, 2006, 215,336 emails were delivered to our systems. 139,262 were blocked, and 76,024 were sent to virus checkers and onto customer mailboxes.
We send our email through virus checkers after it passes any mail blocks we have set up. Virus checkers can usually strip off viruses that are not prevented by block lists, but virus checkers need to be updated regularly. If a new virus comes out, it can often take several days before the virus check is available. By blocking known spam and virus sites, we can often protect ourselves from outbreaks of new viruses until the virus check is available.
All of this is a very good thing except in the case where an email message that you want to receive is blocked. ITSS recognizes how frustrating that can be, and we are very willing to work with the remote site to help them remove the blocks to their systems. This will not only be helpful to them in delivering mail to UMD, but it will also help them deliver mail to many other mail providers. Most qualified email providers use these techniques now, including the AOL and the Twin Cities campus. If necessary, we can also set up a bypass for selected senders, but our preference is to help them configure their systems correctly.
If you know or suspect that email from someone you know is being blocked, here's what to do:
- Send an email to the blocked sender. It is quite likely this person
can receive email from you, even though email sent to you is blocked.
- Ask this person to send email to email@example.com. This is one email address at UMD that accepts all email (no blocking). Once we receive an email from the blocked sender, we will have enough information to begin the process of assisting the remote site with their email blocking problems.
- You can also send the blocked sender this url: http://www.d.umn.edu/email/block/
The blocked sender should forward this information to their email provider. It is technical information that the sender's email provider can use to determine what is wrong.
ITSS is working on adding new features to our email system that will enable people at UMD to review lists of email being blocked and alert us to those that you would like to receive. We hope to announce this later this fall. In the meantime, feel free to let us know about any instances by sending mailblock any information you have about the blocked sender.

Voice Mail tip of the month
After conversion to Call Pilot, you still have access to messages in the old voice mail system. To login to the old system you'll have to dial a new number. Dial 6688, and log in using your old 4-digit security code. You may want to check your old mailbox for messages you may have received between the time you left work on Tuesday, August 29th and the following morning.
Both the old system and new Call Pilot system can light the message waiting light on your phone. If your message waiting light remains lit after you have listened to all of your messages in Call Pilot, it's safe to assume you have a message waiting for you in the old system. You should only have to check the old system for message once after the conversion to Call Pilot as all new messages now go to your Call Pilot mailbox. Plans are to leave access to the old system in place through September.
Bonus tip : To bypass a recorded greeting press # or 5. Either option will let you bypass a greeting and go directly to the recording beep.
ITSS completes large summer projects
ITSS completed a number of large projects over the summer. Here are a few highlights.
Working with Qwest Communications, we replaced our old
voice mail system with a new Call Pilot integrated messaging system that went live on August 30. This new system currently supports 3147 voice mailboxes and 40 auto- attendants. Advanced features include:
- Access to voice messages and mail box administration via the web.
- Forwarding of voice messages to your e-mail inbox.
- Speach recognition of mail box commands.
ITSS worked with Dell-Comm, Inc. to reroute major telecommunications feeder cables out of the way of the construction site for the new LSBE building. This included 600 pairs of copper cable for Oakland Apartments, 900 pair for Heaney Hall, and 300 pair for Goldfine Hall. It also included fiber optic cable for networking to these buildings.
ITSS worked with the building contractor to provide telephone and network infrastructure for the new Sports and Health Building. The network in this building also supports 12 security cameras throughout the building.
ITSS worked with Facilities Management and contractors Dell-Comm, Inc. and Mesaba Electric to make Chester Park School ready for more than 100 faculty and staff to inhabit this fall. In order to provide telephone and network connections for all of these people, Dell-Comm needed to run a larger feeder cable from Heller Hall, along University Drive and down College Street to Chester Park School. Then Mesaba Electric did all of the internal cabling for phone and data. All of this work was done after UMD took possession of the school at the end of June.
ITSS and Facilities Management have completed covering all of the residence hall parking lots with 49 security cameras. This was a particularly challenging project, since we decided to use wireless technology to save money on cabling. The equipment we bought from our first vendor did not provide all of the options our site required, so we had to send it back and start over. The new Firetide equipment seems to be working very well. It uses a mesh technology to reinforce signals between the cameras, mounted on light poles, and the base stations, mounted on buildings. In addition, Mesaba Electric installed 17 cameras on building entrances in Burntside Hall, Lake Superior Hall, and Junction Apartments. Cameras are monitored by the Department of Central Security at the Twin Cities campus. We hope they will be helpful in reducing damage to vehicles and increasing safety of individuals.
ITSS staff moved to a new unified wireless system with improved authentication, with work done during the past year and completed over the summer. Wireless access points are now simple devices that take all their instructions from a central controller. This greatly improves the ability to manage the wireless network. One-hundred percent of the installation uses 802.11g technology, with fifty percent supporting 802.11a/g. The wireless network, as well as wired public jacks in classrooms and other locations, use our new Monolith authentication system. The new system no longer requires users to type "net" in a browser to bring up the authentication screen. Instead, it comes up automatically. All of these changes required us to replace 80 wireless access points, convert 98, and add 48, for a total of 226. It also required replacement of 87 network switches.
ITSS staff also upgraded other parts of our network infrastructure this past year. We now have new CPUs in our core routers, a new VPN server, and our link to the Internet nearly doubled in capacity to 150 megabits per second. We are moving to a standard service of 2 gigabits with failover to each campus building. At present more than 20 campus buildings have a gigabit feed as do most of our residence halls. Our network now serves a new facility in Boulder Lake. Our link to the Cloquet Forestry Center has been improved, and our link to NRRI will be improved shortly. The network is becoming more of a utility, as we no longer bill for each network jack. The network, in addition to serving user computers and servers, also supports security cameras, building monitoring systems, door access systems, interactive video systems, and IP telephones.
ITSS also made a number of improvements to our email systems, including an upgrade to our web mail system (see next article).
Desktop Security: P2P File Sharing
Peer-to-peer (P2P) software is generally considered unacceptable to use on the University network, except in rare situations. P2P and anonymous file sharing programs on your computer can inadvertently allow access to your entire computer. P2P file sharing networks have also recently been used to spread viruses and worms.
As a result, OIT Security <http://www1.umn.edu/oit/security/> has started to monitor for P2P traffic on the University network. If your computer is identified as passing P2P traffic, you will receive a notice from ITSS asking you to verify that the usage is legal and directly related to University business, and that it does not represent a potential exposure of protected data (eg. HIPAA, FERPA).
For those few that require file sharing, it is important to understand the risks and responsibilities when using such programs. Legally protected or other important University information should never be stored on a computer that has P2P software installed or file sharing enabled without a strong password.
University faculty and staff can refer to the following materials for more information on this topic:
Student response systems - "clickers"
What are Clickers?
Student Response Systems, or "clickers," are small handheld devices coupled with receiving hardware and presentation software. The system allows an instructor to present questions, usually via a computer projector, and collect student answers immediately during the lecture. The results can generally be manipulated and displayed immediately and can be used to change the course of the lecture.
New Clicker Aliases
Now that the standard has been set and piloted successfully,we have set up two new email aliases to better reflect the administration of the program:
"srs-announce" includes all faculty and staff who have expressed an interest in clickers, been involved in setting the standard, or currently occupy a teaching or support roll. This alias will be used only for major announcements.
"srs-faculty" includes only the faculty teaching with clickers during the current semester plus ITSS support staff. This alias will be used for day-to-day details and minutia of interest to faculty who are currently teaching with clickers. If you would like to be included on either of these aliases, please contact Jason Davis (jdavis).
Clicker Demographics for Fall 2006
Over the course of Fall 2005 and Spring 2006, 14 faculty taught 25 courses with clickers. A total of 2489 clickers were used by UMD students. During Fall 2006, we anticipate 18 faculty will teach 27 courses to 2551 students (1949 of them did not purchase a clicker last year). Chemistry, Math, Education, Business (FMIS), Psychology, Biology, Pharmacy, and Health classes will be taught using clickers.
TurningPoint Software Update
Turning Point has released the latest software update, which can be downloaded at:
ITSS strongly recommends that you download and install the latest version of TurningPoint. You must uninstall previous versions of TurningPoint prior to installing TurningPoint 2006 w/Service Pack.
WebDrop and eGradeBook Clicker Tools
At the request of faculty from last year, WebDrop has been updated in the following ways:
- Once your students have authenticated into WebDrop and registered their clickers, you can sort the list either alphabetically or chronologically before you download it. This means late additions will be easy to track and add.
- When the registration deadline has passed, any additional registrations will not only append to the list, but will also generate an email to you.
- An additional WebDrop box has been created for you to share files with ITSS staff securely.
- The arbitrary number assigned to student clickers to show where they are in a response table can be uploaded into eGradeBook through a semi-automated process developed by ITSS.
Clicker Recall Recap From Spring 2006
The 2500+ clickers sold at UMD last year worked very well for the most part, but there was a manufacturing flaw in all of them: a weak soldering spot meant they could fail. About 5% had failed through Spring 2006. As a result, TurningPoint made replacements available for all clickers.
Any student who had registered a clicker last year received two emails letting them know that they could trade their old clicker for a new one. We got back 1783 clickers during this warranty exchange. This means about 800 students missed their opportunity for a replacement clicker. We'll make one more pass at those students a few weeks into Fall semester and give them another chance to exchange clickers.
No Mac Version, No WebCT Vista... yet
The Macintosh version of TurningPoint software has been a lingering disappointment and actually resulted in an overall lowering of price for us last year, when the vendor fell short of our agreement. While the vendor has still not fulfilled this promise, they are planning to release a beta some time during Fall Semester 2006 and hope to have a fully functional release before Spring Semester 2007.
We also anticipated a "powerlink" that would allow us to integrate most of the administrative tasks into WebCT Vista. OIT was not able to implement this powerlink for us in time for Fall 2006, but will continue to test and may be able to make this work for Spring 2007. We have improved what we can do with in-house tools such as eGradeBook and WebDrop and we will continue to pursue an integrated server solution for the future.
General information and specific instructions regarding clickers can be found on our website: http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/classroom/srs.html
If you have an comments, questions, or concerns, contact Jason Davis (jdavis).
FacultETools: Lots to do and no time to do it?
Information Technology Systems and Services would like to announce a new service for faculty. The ITSS Course Development Service is now available to help faculty members take course materials and content and transfer it to an online environment. As more and more students look to the Web for course resources, using our new service may help save you time!
To take advantage of our ITSS Course Development Service contact Shelly McCauley-Jugovich (smccaule) 726-6862 or Bruce Reeves (breeves) 726-6831 and hire a supervised, student course development designer. This is a billable service. Please visit our website for further details http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/etrg/webct/CourseDevelopmentService.html
Improvements to student computer labs
The Student Computing team has made numerous improvements in the computer labs over the summer months. The ITSS Computer Lab web pages have also been updated. These pages include lists of available hardware and software, maps for the locations of all computer labs, a link to the reservations for each lab, and much more. www.d.umn.edu/itss/labs/
Computer Lab Support Changes
The Student Computing Team has implemented a different coverage model for our computer labs this semester. We are having one consultant "patrol" several labs on a rotating basis. They will spend 5-10 minutes in each lab checking for problems or questions from student users. Each roving lab consultant will have a radio so they can quickly respond to phone calls or emails from lab users.
One of the main reasons for switching to this coverage model is that a majority of the time the lab consultants were waiting for an opportunity to help someone.
The goal of the program is to become more efficient in how we support the labs. The new coverage model will mean the Student Computing Team will be able to provide more funding for the computer labs, which will result in other lab improvements: newer computers, printers and software, comfortable tables and chairs, etc. Please feel free to send comments or questions about the new consultant scheduling program to labmanager
Computer lab hardware upgrades
- The Engr 204 lab now has new Dell computers and 19" flat-panel monitors. The Dell PCs that had been in Engr 204 were moved to the Lib 115 room.
- New 19" flat-model monitors were put into the SBE 17 Mac lab.
- The MonH 209 and 239 computer labs were upgraded with new Intel iMacs with 17 inch monitors.
- The Library 119 Full Access computer lab now has 12 Intel iMacs with 20 inch monitors. This lab is not used for classes so students do not have to worry about being interrupted because of a class reservation.
Lab software changes
The biggest change to software in the computer labs is an application that tracks usage of each computer in each lab. This gives real-time usage statistics so lab users can know what other labs have computers available for use if the one they are in has a reservation or is closing for the day. http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/labs/schedule/
An additional color printer with both 8x11 and 11x17 capabilities has been added to the Lib 118 computer lab. The cost for black & white laser printed pages has stayed the same for this year,
The Student Computing Team tracked SunRay usage. We noticed that at the busiest time of any day, no more than 100 SunRays were in use. Since there were over 250 SunRays in the Library last year, it was determined that many of these computers could be removed. 116 Sunrays were removed from the 3rd and 4th floors of the Library.
In place of some of the removed Sunrays, 28 G4 eMacs have been placed on the 3rd floor of the Library. These are the first Basic Access Macs on campus for many years. An additional 12 PCs were also added to the 3rd floor, increasing the pool of Basic Access PCs in the Library to a total of 66. Any currently registered student can use the Basic Access computers.
For more information on Full and Basic Access computing resources, visit the ITSS computer labs. http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/labs/
Dell and Apple battery recall programs
A number of laptop manufacturers, including Dell and Apple, have discovered that some of their Sony-manufactured laptop batteries may be defective. If you have a Dell or Apple laptop you should visit the links below and compare the serial number of your laptop's battery to the list of affected batteries on the companies' web sites.
Dell Battery Recall Program
15-inch MacBook Pro Battery Exchange Program
iBook G4 and PowerBook G4 Battery Exchange Program
Recommended Technology Solutions updated
The ITSS Recommended Solutions document has been recently updated and is available for review. Recommended Solutions provides advice to the campus regarding acquisition of software and hardware, including computers, PDAs, wireless technology and more.
It is the intention of ITSS to provide guidance for purchase decisions and clarification of support available from ITSS. This document is our attempt to:
- Provide advice to the campus community regarding technology acquisitions.
- Improve the compatibility of information and staff training throughout the campus.
- Increase productivity of ITSS staff by limiting the number of hardware and software platforms we support.
- Help ITSS staff establish priorities for customer support.
For more information, see http://www.d.umn.edu/itss/policies/solutions/
Multimedia Hub
One of the most exciting areas in education today is the integration of multimedia into teaching and learning. Research has shown that higher levels of learning occur when people are presented information via more than a single medium. If you want to incorporate video, sound, images, text, and/or animation into a presentation, lecture, or class the Multimedia Hub in the Audio Visual office of ITSS can help.
Don't have time or inclination to do it yourself? We can do video transfers, taping, editing, slide conversions, and media duplication for you, subject to our staff availability (there is a fee for this service).
Email: mmedia or call: 726-6087, or contact Mary Olson-Reed at 726-8544
info.tech.News is published monthly during the academic year by ITSS. An email digest is also sent to all users subscribed to the infotech.announce, UMD.business.announce and studenttech.announce. The goal is to distribute information useful to the daily routines of the University of Minnesota Duluth campus community in conjunction with computer and telephone technologies. Comments or suggestions may be sent to the editor at: email@example.com.

|Lady Cats linksters finish in sixth place at regional tournament
|From Staff Reports
April 28, 2005 - FORT WORTH - Three of the Sulphur Springs Lady Cats' top four golfers improved their scores on the second round of the Class 4A, Region II tournament on Wednesday as they moved up one spot into sixth place.
After shooting a 392 on Tuesday, the Lady Cats improved by 10 strokes to shoot a 382 and finish with a 774 at the Doral Tesoro Golf Club.
Sulphur Springs finished the first day of the 36-hole tournament in seventh, but leap-frogged North Lamar in the standings.
They were led by sophomore Whitney McDaniel, who followed the 93 she shot on Tuesday with an 86 on Wednesday. Her second-day score was the 13th-best posted, and she finished in a tie for 20th in the individual standings with a 179.
"Whitney McDaniel had a great second day," said coach Kerry Brice, who took over the job after the district meet because of the absence of Rodney Barthelemess. "She got a little frustrated the first day because the pace was very slow. But, at the turn she sort of picked it up a little bit."
Senior Faith Harry also improved her game, shooting a 94 on the second day, one stroke better than her Tuesday score. Senior Brooke Wilson carded a 100-101 for a 201, sophomore Kylie Littlefield shot three strokes better on Wednesday with a 101, and junior Jessica Anderson finished with a 230 total.
"They were all very consistent. It was a good two days," Brice said. "We had two good days. The kids played well. They played better the second day after they got those first-day jitters out of the way, and the pace was a little better the second day."
Highland Park's two teams took first and second place overall to earn state berths, while the individual championship went to Lake Dallas' Lauren Espinosa, who shot a 72-71-143 to win by three strokes.
Wednesday's final results from the Class 4A Region II girls golf championships at the Doral/Tesoro Golf Club:
TEAM - 1. Highland Park ''Gold'' 306-315-621, 2. Highland Park ''Blue'' 317-324-641, 3. Hebron 329-322-651, 4. McKinney 376-357-753, 5. Lampasas 364-400-764, 6. Sulphur Springs 392-382-774, 7. Hewitt-Midway 407-379-786, 8. Waxahachie 399-399-798, 9. North Lamar 387-413-800, 10. Midlothian 420-430-850, 11. Corsicana 473-479-952, 12. Mabank 529-455-984, 13. South Oak Cliff 572-507-1079, 14. A.M. Smith 571-521-1092.
INDIVIDUAL RESULTS - 1. Lauren Espinosa (Lake Dallas) 72-71-143, 2. Lila Barton (Highland Park Gold) 74-72-146, 3. Tiffany Phelps (McKinney) 75-75-150, 4. Brynn Anderson (Highland Park Gold) 78-73-151, T5. Jessica Garza (McKinney North) 78-74-152, T5. Morgan Taylor (Hebron) 76-76-152, 7. Gracie Pack (Highland Park Blue) 74-82-156, T8. Laura Klein (Hebron) 80-78-158, T8. Camille Graham (Highland Park Blue) 80-78-158, 10. Elizabeth George (Highland Park Blue) 77-82-159.

when i'm copying and pasting from word into internet explorer all (') apostrophes get changed into inverted (¿) question marks in the paragraph. what html tag should i put to prevent this from happening. i already put
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" >
but nothing has changed. please what should i add to the head so that i get normal the normal character???please do note that the content is saved in the database as CLOB type.
It's because Word uses the correct apostrophe character, but HTML can only cope with the single or double quote. You could do a find-and-replace to fix the incorrect quote characters with either the basic form or the unicode character reference.
but the thing is this is a web application how can i tell all my users what to do? what do u think is the best solution? u have to take in mind that users copy and paste from word inside the application, i'm sure they won't be using something else and its quite annoying doing DB changes everytime to find and replace the wrong characters.
It's an encoding problem. Word uses Windows-1252, where the typographically correct apostrophe is included. But you declare the encoding as ISO 8859-1, and the code point used for the apostrophe lies in the range reserved for C1 control characters in the ISO encoding.
See the HTML FAQ for more information, including possible workarounds.
so which encoding type should i use to resolve this problem???
The important thing is that the encoding you (or, rather, your web server) declare in the Content-Type HTTP header is the same one as you used when saving your source file.
It looks like you're saving your file as Windows-1252, which is not something I'd recommend on a public web site since it's Windows specific.
Either save the file as ISO 8859-1 or change the encoding declaration on the server to Windows-1252. Note, however, that this apostrophe is not available in the ISO encoding, so if you choose that way, you need to use an entity (') or a reference (').
Probably the best solution would be to use UTF-8. That means saving the file as UTF-8 and making the server send UTF-8 as the encoding declaration. UTF-8 can represent any character in the ISO 10646, which is the character repertoire used by HTML. (It's virtually the same thing as Unicode.)
I've added <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" > but i'm still seeing the inverted question marks. My internet explorer uses Western European Encoding. If i'm copying from a normal word document, should i save that document as a utf-8 web page and then copy paste onto my application? what else is missing u think?
The META element will be ignored if your web server is sending encoding information in the Content-Type header. You must make sure that your web server is sending the correct encoding, or that it doesn't send any encoding information at all (in which case your META element may be applied).
Also, you cannot just change the encoding declaration without changing the actual encoding. The easiest way for you is probably to declare the encoding as Windows-1252, but as I said before, that encoding doesn't really belong on a public web site.
If you copy from Word, you may run into problems depending on which editor you use for your HTML document. You may have to set it to Windows-1252 first, then copy from Word, then save as UTF-8. I don't know if you can make Word use UTF-8; I haven't looked, and I don't have Word available at the moment.

Volume 15, Issue 1: Thema
Douglas Wilson
Our minds do not work very well outside the established grooves. When anyone
begins to suspect that what he has believed for many years may actually be a
truncated form of the truth, particularly when the subject concerns the gospel
and salvation,
the natural temptation is to respond in a decidedly non-Berean fashion. As we
know, the Bereans received the apostolic word with great eagerness, searching the
Scriptures daily to see if what Paul was saying was actually right (Acts 17:11).
They are described
as being noble in this, and there are two aspects to that nobility. First, they
received the teaching
eagerly. They were not sullen about it. But secondly, and just as
importantly, they were not foolishly open to various winds of doctrinethey
carefully checked
what they were hearing against the Scriptures.

A delegation of Australian Muslim sheikhs and scholars, headed by the Mufti of Australia, Dr. Ibrahim Abu Muhammad Salem, is currently touring the Middle East. On December 25, the delegation visited Egypt, and from there went on to the Gaza Strip to show solidarity with the Gazans and to call for an end to the siege. The delegation's next destination is Syria, where it plans to visit refugee camps and areas damaged by the fighting.[1]

Brazilian soundboys Butter Music have a motto: 'keep it greasy'. In the days of over-polished pristine production where everything comes with a high-end sheen, it's a refreshing approach. It works, too: All Good Funk Alliance's "Turn The Sound" is a jittering, sleazy P-funk bass romp while Zamali's "Fast Move" is all '70s moody funk with big trumpets and even bigger beats. Wood N Soo's "Petty Larceny" is the slickest of the set, nodding subtly at the trembling synth sound Get Physical established itself with 10 years ago while retaining heaps of funk in the groove.

Just Kidding, Mitt Romney's Batman Now
"Did you make the suit out of aborted fetuses like I asked? Good, good."
Yesterday, the Internet pissed itself silly after Rush Limbaugh couldn't resist the immediately ridiculous theory that The Dark Knight Rises is a liberal conspiracy to make movie-goers associate Mitt Romney with the villain Bane so they'll vote for Obama. Turns out this really pissed off longtime Batman writer Chuck Dixon who not only created Bane almost twenty years ago but openly describes himself as a staunch conservative. Via Gawker:
"The idea that there's some kind of liberal agenda behind the use of Bane in the new movie is silly," Dixon told ComicBook.com in the aftermath of the Limbaugh segment. "I refuted this within hours of the article in the Washington Examiner suggesting that Bane would be tied to Bain Capital and Mitt Romney appearing. Bane was created by me and Graham Nolan and we are lifelong conservatives and as far from left-wing mouthpieces as you are likely to find in comics."
Incidentally, Dixon himself predicted that Limbaugh would make a big deal out of the coincidence. "I saw it on FB like two hours ago," he wrote on the Dixonverse messageboard on Monday. "Tho' I got a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach that Rush may pick up on this. And [t]hat would be the second time he pegged me and Graham as liberals on his show."
So even Republicans agree Rush Limbaugh is a predictable idiot who'll say anything for ratings. Case closed. Except, oh, wait, turns out Chuck Dixon believes there still is a political message to The Dark Knight Rises only it's that Occupy Wall Street is villainous scum and Mitt Romney is the caped crusader America needs right now. Cue Frank Miller's erection:
"As for his appearance in The Dark Knight Rises, Bane is a force for evil and the destruction of the status quo," Dixon said. "He's far more akin to an Occupy Wall Street type if you're looking to cast him politically. And if there ever was a Bruce Wayne running for the White House it would have to be Romney."
Okay, I think I got it. Bane's Obama, Batman's Mitt Romney and Catwoman's, I dunno, Ron Paul, so that means Commissioner Gordon represents gay marriage which is why he's never allowed into the Batcave a.k.a. Chick-fil-A, and why his protege Joseph Gordon-Levitt is universal health care because only queers would want that shit around. BAM. You've subterfuged us again, Christopher Nolan!

OK, I am laughing. Isn't that like "Catch 22"? If you can't get onto the

WASHINGTON (Mar. 24)
Officials of the State Department today confirmed that many Jews in Palestine who are naturalized Americans will lose their American citizenship if they do not return to the United States to confirm their status as required by the Nationality Act of 1940.
It was pointed out that of the more than 6,000 American Jews in Palestine, some 3,000 have failed to register with the American Consulate there. It is known that the State Department is fearful that in case of emergency in Palestine, in which an attempt would be made to evacuate American citizens, those who have not registered would find themselves in serious straits.
Officials of the State Department also estimated that of the 3,000 American Jews in Palestine who have registered with American Consul, the registrations of more than 1,500 have expired, or there was some doubt as to their citizenship claims. No formal notice of the threatened loss of citizenship will be sent to naturalized Americans living abroad, an official of the State Department explained, but those who keep in touch with the American consulates will be notified.

Good news for employers: A new National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling makes it much more difficult for temporary employees to join the same union as the organization's permanent employees.
In a 3-to-2 vote, the NLRB overturned a Clinton-era ruling that gave temps the new right to join a company's union if they did the same work alongside full-time employees and worked under the same supervision. (M.B. Sturgis, 331 NLRB 1298) That decision in 2000 sent shock waves through the employer community and the temp-help industry.
This new NLRB decision overturns that ruling. It doesn't completely prevent temps from joining a union. But it says that both the temp agency and the organization where the temp works must consent to the bargaining arrangement, which is highly unlikely.
You can read the NLRB's decision and statement on the case (Oakwood Care Center and N&W Agency, Inc., 343 NLRB No. 76) at www.nlrb.gov/ nlrb/shared_files/weekly/w2975.htm.

Illusion knitting is a special a technique that provides you with a secret image when viewed at an angle. It may look complex but is about the simplest form of patterned colour-work going. At heart, its just alternating patches of garter and stockinet.
If you can purl, you can illusion knit.
DNA and illusion knitting could be made for one another. Looking across the scarf, the ladders of the striping pattern twist round those of the helix as purls and knits start to bunch together to display a regular shape (at least for those initiated on how to look).

Kaoru Kurimoto's Guin Saga was inspired by classic sword-and-sorcery novels such as Robert E. Howard's Conan and Fritz Lieber's Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories. Based on an untranslated Guin Saga Gaiden novel, this manga adaptation follows Guin, a fighter cursed with a leopard's head, after his rise to the position of king of Cheironia.
The result means a lot of backstory that isn't explained for the casual American reader - i.e., Who is the demon Jandal-zogg? Who is the magus Velisha? Why is Guin's queen so cold to him, does she not want to sleep with a leopard? In search of a cure for a plague that is afflicting his kingdom, Guin ventures into the Alley of Charms, where he meets monsters, sorcerers, and witches and a number of seedy characters who join his group seemingly on the author's fiat.
The result is a little incoherent; the story tries to keep the reader's attention by throwing out severed heads and scantily clad women, but the plot of the first volume is mostly portentous foreshadowing, and makes for an insubstantial read at 168 pages, even for those who are familiar with the Guin mythos.
The art is standard muscular seinen-manga, with a clear delineation between ugly characters and pretty girls, and unfortunately drab backgrounds - the world of the story feels sadly uninhabited except for our leopard-headed hero and a few women whose eyes are too far apart. The English rewrite gamely attempts to capture the style of 1930s pulp fantasy ("What forsaken, maledict deeds took place behind its closed doors?" "No man's blade can fell that thing!").

Donald Trump: Do Character, Morality and Kindness Still Matter?
By March 21, 2016People have been asking me to write on this, but some will be sorry I did. If this seems too little too late, I get that. If it seems to some irresponsible (I know it will), I still think every Jesus-follower needs to do some real soul-searching. I'm talking about much more than just voting, and the principles here apply to other candidates too, not only Trump. |

GENEVA (Aug. 25)
The new Soviet policies of "glasnost" (openness) and "perestroika" (renewal) have meant little to Soviet Jews, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Pinchas Eliav stated at a recent meeting of the Subcommission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities.
He deplored the prohibitions against Jewish expression and education. "Jews are not even allowed to attend Hebrew courses given in Soviet universities for Christian theological students," he declared. "No Hebrew books can be published and no printed material on Jewish subjects is available in any language apart from the 7,000 copies of the monthly Soviet Homeland."
He said 400,000 Jews have expressed the desire to go to Israel, but that in recent years their emigration has been limited to about 1,000 annually. He welcomed the increase this year to about 4,000, but noted that the current rate would mean another 700 months (58-plus years) for the 400,000 to leave.

chili and Lime Cornby Terry Golson Jalapenos, chili powder, cumin, and lime do a lot to offset the sweetness.
chili peppers were everywhere, drying on mats, on roofs, and in fields.
People will love the 'chili water,' which adds a nice spice to give our Koko Koa a good 'punch.'
Before he poured in the chili peppers, he used to heat it up in a big pot.
Burning a girl alive while her father watches or cooking a severed head into a vat of chili?
He imagined himself back in chili, and for some time his utterances were in the Spanish tongue.
In chili it is hunted with dogs, or, driven up a tree, is easily shot.
To prepare the chili used in this dish: from two pods of dried red chili peppers take out all the seeds and discard them.
The natives of chili, we were told, often catch the puma with the lasso.
Lettuce, French dressing, or tomatoes raw or chili sauce or catsup; sauce tartare; with boiled lobster.
also chilli, 1660s, from Nahuatl chilli, native name for the peppers. Not named for the South American country. As short for chile con carne and similar dishes, attested by 1846.

ANAHEIM – Viktor Fasth stopped 33 shots and Teemu Selanne's first goal of the season proved decisive as the Ducks defeated the Calgary Flames, 3-2, on Wednesday night at Honda Center.
The Ducks (5-1-0) won their fifth straight game and 17th straight at home against Calgary dating to the 2003-04 season. Dustin Penner and Kyle Palmieri also scored first-period goals, but Fasth's goaltending was the story.
Making his first start in 10 days, Fasth shined in the third period to protect a one-goal lead. The longtime Swedish League netminder turned aside a rebound chance by Mikael Backlund and then stoned Lee Stempniak's try with a great left pad save.
Selanne got the 676th goal of his career on a breakaway in the second period as he got sprung by linemate Jakob Silfverberg and beat Calgary goalie Joey MacDonald with a new stick after breaking his other one on the blade that Flames captain Mark Giordano was using.
Jiri Hudler got the Flames (3-1-2) close at 4:15 of the third when teammate Kris Russell's wrist shot glanced off his midsection pasth Fasth.
The Ducks grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first when Penner scored his second goal off a pass from Ryan Getzlaf. Palmieri turned a nice individual play into his first of the season as he intercepted a pass from Calgary defenseman Chris Butler and beat MacDonald with a wrist shot.
Palmieri was on the wrong end of a play late in the first as he couldn't contain a pass at the Flames' blue line, allowing Stempniak to skate down and beat Fasth for a shorthanded goal.
The Ducks were on a five-minute power play as Tim Jackman received a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for using the butt end of his stick to hit Sami Vatanen.

Outta the Park BBQ Sauce Review
Outta the Park BBQ Sauce – Everything in this sauce that can be all natural is all natural. Sugar, brown mustard, ketchup, sea salt, hot pepper sauce, molasses, vinegar, ginger, butter, paprika, apple cider — all of it is all natural. And check out the addition of the butter, which contains some cream. It accounts for the over-the-top silky- smooth richness of this sauce, and it certainly qualifies as one of the most unique ingredients I've ever seen in a BBQ sauce.
I took Outta the Park BBQ Sauce straight to the grill and tried it on pork steaks, chicken, T-bones, and even catfish. Straight from the bottle, I knew this was going to be one of those barbecue sauces that occupied a place of honor on my sauce shelf. My wife tasted it and went as ballistic for it as I did. We're a barbecue family. All of us get together regularly and experiment with different sauces. Some hit the mark and others fall severely short. The name of this one couldn't be more apt. Why? Because this sauce is out of the park. It's a home run any way you look at it.
I painted Outta the Park BBQ Sauce on the meat and it cooked to a nice, clinging consistency. The major problem I had with Outta the Park is keeping my dipping spoon outta the bowl. What was left over after my barbecue session found its way on a roast beef sandwich (divine) and even splashed into some potato salad. If you think that doesn't sound right, give it a try. Two tastes combined that scream backyard barbecue.
Any barbecue aficionado needs to give Outta the Park BBQ Sauce a shot. You won't want to be without it.

Can Tamiflu save us from bird flu?
AMID ominous signs that H5N1 bird flu is acquiring the ability to spread more readily among people, many health authorities are pinning their hopes on Tamiflu, the only available antiviral drug known to block the replication of the virus. But can the drug really help stop an emerging flu pandemic?
Even if efforts to develop a vaccine are successful (New Scientist, 26 March, p 10), it could take many months to produce the billions of doses needed in the event of a pandemic. By then it might be too late. So in the meantime, the World Health Organization is stepping up its efforts to acquire a massive stockpile of Tamiflu (oseltamivir), which it hopes will at least slow any emerging flu pandemic.
Last month the WHO reported that a patient in Vietnam was infected with a strain of H5N1 resistant to Tamiflu
Recent cases of H5N1 in northern Vietnam have caused concern because of signs that the virus is changing. It has become less lethal and is occurring in larger clusters than past cases. Last month studies also revealed that the virus is diverging genetically.
Tamiflu can save lives if it is given early, no more than two days after symptoms first appear. But last month the WHO reported that a patient in Vietnam had a strain of H5N1 resistant to Tamiflu. So could the drug become useless before the pandemic even begins?
Luckily the resistant viruses may be poor at spreading, according to Fred Hayden of the University of Virginia, a leading expert on antiviral therapy. The mutation that made the Vietnam virus drug resistant also occurs in a

I, the scourge-wielder, balance-wrecker,
Smiter with whips and swords;
I, hater of the breakers of the law;
I, legalist, inexorable and bitter,
Driving the jury to hang the madman, Barry Holden,
Was made as one dead by light too bright for eyes,
And woke to face a Truth with bloody brow:
Steel forceps fumbled by a doctor's hand
Against my boy's head as he entered life
Made him an idiot.
I turned to books of science
To care for him.
That's how the world of those whose minds are sick
Became my work in life, and all my world.
Poor ruined boy! You were, at last, the potter
And I and all my deeds of charity
The vessels of your hand.

By Juan Santiago
Looking for another way to make my work easier, I went and spent some money on new products. I remember Jodi Murphy once said: "Laser Lites Wow detangler is the best detangler product I ever used". Been in one of her seminars and own several of her dvd classes, I can testify she is a very honest and humble person, she is very good and successful groomer and the best part she love to share her knowledge with others. I was brave and pass the price shock and got a bottle.
Here is some information about this product.
Laser Lites takes its name from Aust. Ch. Khandhu Laser Litefoot, one of Australia's most successful show dogs in Afghan Hound history.
The products have been developed by Dr Paul Hewitt, who has a Ph D in Physics / Chemistry, as well as thirty years experience in Afghan Hounds, Saluki, and Lhasa Apso.
This unique combination of both chemistry and show dog preparation has resulted in a range of products which is second to none. They are available at modest prices because they are blended and bottled in a small workshop in Vineyard, a suburb of Sydney, Australia, and do not attract large overheads.
All products are extremely concentrated, and consequently the time between repurchase is greatly extended.
There is only two distributors in the USA, one goes only to dog shows, and one for the grooming industry, JodiMurphy.net. The Laser Lites line is more that one product, they have shampoo, conditioner finishing sprays and more. Jodi Murphy only promotes WOW, but if you are interested on any of the other products she can get them for you.
I was looking at the ingredients listed on the label, Distilled water, polydimethicone and food coloring, and this is what i found about this weird word at wikipedia: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds that are commonly referred to as silicones.[1]PDMS is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its unusual rheological (or flow) properties. PDMS is optically clear, and, in general, is considered to be inert, non-toxic and non-flammable. It is occasionally called dimethicone and is one of several types of silicone oil (polymerized siloxane). Its applications range from contact lenses and medical devices to elastomers; it is present, also, in shampoos (as dimethicone makes hair shiny and slippery), food (anti-foaming agent), caulking, lubricating oils, and heat-resistant tiles.
What is so amazing about this product? It works! WOW, is highly concentrated, one full cap on 16 oz of water is all you need, I use it on almost every dog and it last me a full year. At the beginning the price scared me, I used to pay 14.00 for the stuff 16 oz ready to use, well one cap of the WOW makes the same amount and it is less than 50 cents, huge savings. Once the dog is bathed, use a towel to wipe the excess water, then you spray the premixed solution and let it sit for a minute. Power dry as you normally do and you will see it work. Great amount of knots and tangles begin to disappear, it is like using an invisible brush. Once the dog is completely dry, you will see the brush glides trough the hair eliminating the mats left. It is that easy.
I was 100% sure "The Stuff" was the best product for little tangles on drop coat. I decide to put this WOW detangler against the best product on my arsenal, The stuff. Half dog was sprayed with one product the other half with the other. It was a sad moment, when I saw my champion been defeated by the new kid on the truck, that day a new champion was crowned.
