A: While you cannot remove yourself from the courses, you can choose not to display them on the "My UIS" page.
- Click on the gear icon that appears on the top right of your course list box.
- Next, uncheck the boxes for the courses you do not wish to see.
- Once you are done, click "Submit."
Q: I cannot log onto Blackboard. Nothing works. Neither does my email.
Your UIS NetID password may need to be reset. You will need to contact the Tech Support for this issue.

Q: How do I log in to Blackboard ?
A: The UIS Blackboard server is located at web address http://bb.uis.edu. The server is available 24 hours/day 7 days/week. From the bb.uis.edu web page, enter your UIS NetID account information. This is the same account information you use to access your UIS email account. Then click the "LOGIN" button. A successful login will take you to the portal page of the UIS Blackboard server from which you can check your grades, change your personal information, or link to the courses in which you are enrolled. If you experience problems logging into the Blackboard server, visit http://www.uis.edu/cts/netid to check or establish your UIS NetID and password. Contact the UIS Tech Support staff for further assistance. Phone 217-206-7357 or (in Illinois ) 1-877-847-0443.

Q: What username and password should I use for Blackboard?
A: Your username is your UIS NetID and the password associated with it, which is the same as your UIS email account. It does not include "@uis.edu".
If you are staff/faculty and don't yet have a UIS NetID, you may get one from the Campus Technology Services. This also applies to adjunct faculty! Then you must activate it on the web, just like students.
Your password is your NetID password, the same as for all other UIS services, such as webmail or bluestem web authentication. In particular, when you activate your NetID, you will be setting a common password. Note that the NetID common password expires after a year and needs to be changed at https://www-s.uis.edu/netid/servlet/Password.
Q: How do I change my Blackboard password?
A: From the portal page, the page you see after you first login to Blackboard, select the PERSONAL INFORMATION hyperlink located under the TOOLS module on the left hand side of the page. Then select Change UIS Network Password to be directed to the UIS Network NetID page . Your e-mail address in the Blackboard system is set to your UIS student e-mail address.
Q: My password doesn't seem to be working. I get an error message.
A: There are various scenarios. Please read them all.
- You get the error: "No authentication credentials were provided with the request".
This can mean various things: a simple typo, CAPS-lock on, incorrect password, incorrect username (e.g. you may by mistake have included "@uis.edu"), or account missing from Blackboard (but existing in LDAP). Or the problem may be specific to your computer or browser – check out the browser test.
Try loggin in to UIS webmail with the same username and password. If you cannot, try changing your password. If you just recently did that, and have tried everything else on this page, contact us, provide your NetID, and we will create a Blackboard account for you. NetIDs and passwords are usually automatically created prior to the start of the semester. - You just set or changed your NetID password.
Sometimes it takes a while for password changes to trickle down. The change may even have been effective for webmail already, and not yet for Blackboard. Please wait a few hours. Also try the other suggestions on this page first. - You cannot log in using your preferred browser, but can log in using another, such as Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape 7, or Opera.
This is a browser configuration problem, system software problem or spyware infection. See the most common browser problems and solutions below. - You cannot log in on one machine, such as your home PC, but can log in elsewhere.
This could be due to a spyware infection on your PC, the need to update your PC, or a browser configuration problem.- Did you try using a different browser yet?
- Run WindowsUpdate (if you are using Windows) and apply all security updates.
- If using IE 6, refer to MS KB831167 and update it.
- Run a complete computer scan with Symantec AntiVirus (of course after updating your virus definitions).
- Use Spybot S&D to scan your computer for malware and clean it (of course using the most recent spyware database).
- If you are using a software firewall, such as ZoneAlarm, SygatePF, tinyPF, or the Windows XP firewall, try whether temporarily disabling this lets you log in.
- Refer to the browser configuration section below for additional very important steps.If you continue to have trouble, contact the UIS Help Desk at email@example.com or 217.206.7357
If you continue to have trouble, contact the UIS Help Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com or 217.206.7357
Q: What are the best browser settings to use with Blackboard?
A: Required browser settings for logging into Blackboard include the following:
In general, if you are experiencing strange errors while browsing web pages, you should upgrade your web browser.
Download the latest version of your browser: (Most Popular Web Browsers according to Browser Trends)
If your course site uses the Java chat tool, you must be using a 4.x browser or newer and the latest Java Software. If you have problems loading the Blackboard Virtual Classroom, be aware of pop-up blockers, make sure Java is enabled in your browser, and have the latest installation of Java.
See the Software Tools and Utilities for Online Courses page for related software and programs helpful to online courses.
Special Note to Macintosh Users
Macintosh users need to be aware that there is a known compliance issue for Blackboard's Virtual Classroom when using the combination of the Macintosh operating system and a Netscape browser. In essence, this combination will not load the java applet necessary to the Virtual Classroom of Blackboard. Macintosh users will be able to load the Virtual Classroom if they use Internet Explorer as their browser.
Q. What are the most common browser problems and solutions?
A: The instructions below all assume you have already opened the browser's Preferences dialog. This is found via "Edit > Preferences" on Mozilla/Netscape, and "Tools > Internet Options" in MS Internet Explorer.
Caching problems lead to older versions of pages showing up, and are frequently reported as a source of login problems as well. After applying the setting, clear your cache and restart the browser (close ALL windows first, including any file download windows) to make sure the cache is really cleared.
- MS Internet Explorer – General tab > Temporary Files > Settings: Make sure this is set to "Every time". To clear cache, click "Delete Files".
- Mozilla/Netscape – Advanced > Cache: Select "Every time I view the page". Click "Clear Cache".
Much of Blackboard goes through secure connections. SSL must be enabled, and it is crucially important to have the right versions enabled.
- MS Internet Explorer – Advanced tab > Security (near bottom): Check "Use SSL 2.0″ and "Use SSL 3.0″. UNcheck "Use TLS 1.0″.
- Mozilla/Netscape – Privacy & Security > SSL: Check "SSL v2.0 enabled" and "SSL v3.0 enabled".
With cookies turned off, logging in is impossible, as a sessionID cookie is used to identify and authenticate you throughout your session.
- MS Internet Explorer – Privacy tab > Web Sites > Edit: Type in "bb.uis.edu" and click on "Allow" to make sure cookies from bb.uis.edu are always accepted, no matter what your other settings are. Same for "bb.uis.edu:8011″ (for Virtual Classroom).
- Mozilla/Netscape – Privacy & Security > Cookies > Manage Stored Cookies > Cookie Sites: Type in "bb.uis.edu" and click on "Allow" to make sure cookies from bb.uis.edu are always accepted, no matter what your other settings are. Same for "bb.uis.edu:8011″ (for Virtual Classroom).
Much of Blackboard's functionality depends on JavaScript. With JavaScript turned off, logging in is impossible. So is taking quizzes.
- MS Internet Explorer – Security tab > Custom Level > Scripting (near bottom): Choose "Active Scripting: Enabled".
Passwords & form data
There appear to be occasional problems with the browser storing the encoded password for Blackboard and submitting the stored value instead of the current one. While it isn't entirely clear whether this is indeed the source for those users' login problems, we recommend the following as troubleshooting step:
- MS Internet Explorer – Content tab > Personal Information > AutoComplete: UNcheck "Forms" and "Usernames and Passwords on Forms". Click "Clear Forms" and "Clear Passwords". Quit and restart the browser before trying again.
- Mozilla/Netscape – Privacy & Security > Passwords > Manage Stored Passwords: make sure "bb.uis.edu" is listed among the sites where passwords are never stored. Under … > Forms > Manage Sites: make sure "bb.uis.edu" is listed among the sites for whom form data is never stored. Or turn off saving of form data and passwords completely, if you like.
Browser Helper Objects (BHOs)
This is the main hook for malware (spyware, adware, browser hijackers, etc.), so it's very important to turn this off. Malware such as CommonName is a frequent source for login problems.
- MS Internet Explorer – Advanced tab > Browsing (near top): UNcheck "Enable third party browser extensions". Restart the browser after clicking OK.
- Mozilla/Netscape – does not apply (Mozilla/NS are safe)
Allowing popups is necessary to make Virtual Classroom work.
- MS Internet Explorer – If using a third-party popup blocker, make sure it allows popups for bb.uis.edu and bb.uis.edu:8011. If you can't configure your popup blocker to allow popups from certain sites, get a better one.
- Mozilla/Netscape – Privacy & Security > Popup Windows > Allowed Sites: Allow popups for bb.uis.edu and bb.uis.edu:8011.
Offline content
Only needed if your course uses links to content on CDROM. Modern browsers prevent links from remote sites to point to content on local disks/media as a security measure.
- MS Internet Explorer – Security tab > Trusted Sites > Sites: Add http://bb.uis.edu/
- Mozilla/Netscape -
- Using MS Wordpad or Notepad (not MS Word!), create (or edit) "user.js" in your Mozilla profile folder, typically under something like "C:Documents and Settings<yourWindowsUsername>Application DataMozillaProfilesdefault<randomstring>".
- Include the following 3 lines to create a security policy allowing Blackboard to link to local content:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "offlineok");
user_pref("capability.policy.offlineok.sites", "http://bb.uis.edu");
user_pref("capability.policy.offlineok.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess"); - Save the file (make sure to quote the filename, or it will be named user.js.txt and won't work), then restart your browser.
Q: I am behind a firewall. How do I access Blackboard ?
A: This is no longer an issue. Blackboard Blackboard now responds at the default web port 80, which firewalls do not block out.
Q: I got in, but don't see my course(s) listed.
A: There are various possible reasons:
- Your class does not use Blackboard at all.
Ask your instructor whether it does, and whether he has requested a site for this term yet. - Your site has recently been requested, but is not yet created.
Your instructor can tell you so. - Your site exists, but has not been made available to students.
Ask your instructor to change this from his course control panel, under "Settings > Course Availability". - You have not yet been added (enrolled) to the Blackboard site, although you have enrolled to the course.
This may mean the site has the wrong call number(s) (CRNs) listed, leading to wrong/incomplete enrollment. Your instructor can correct this from the course control panel, under "Settings > Course Name and Description".
Or it may mean our record of you is somehow incomplete/incorrect. In that case, the instructor can enroll you manually for quick access to the site, but it is a good idea to contact us anyway so this doesn't happen again.
Q: Once inside Blackboard, why do I get an error page saying "Not Authorized"?
A: Blackboard gives full access to each site only to those enrolled in the respective course. If you entered another course site, you are visiting it as a guest with very limited access.
To see exactly what courses you are currently enrolled in, go to http://bb.uis.edu/
Click the Login button and enter your Blackboard Username and Password. The page that appears will have a listing of all the courses in which you are currently enrolled. If you think you should be enrolled in a certain course but that course does not appear in the list, see your instructor to be added to the course.
Q: I got in and clicked on my course, but got an "Access denied" error.
A: This means your course duration is incorrectly set, or you are accessing it too late or too early. Contact your instructor, and if you are expected to be able to use the site yet, ask them to adjust the course duration in their course control panel, under "Settings > Duration". Typically sites are set to become available to students one week before classes officially start, through one week after finals.
Q: Can I enter a site I am not enrolled in (as guest)?
A: Yes, only if the instructor has this option enabled. Blackboard has a guest access feature, allowing every user on the system to enter all other course sites as guest with limited access.
Instructors can configure how much a guest user can see of their site. You will never be able to access Communications and Student Tools, nor take Quizzes or Surveys.
Even users without any account on the system can enter any site as guest, by simply typing guest as both username and password.
Q: How do I get help for Blackboard ?
A: Students experiencing technical problems should call the UIS Tech Support Hotline toll-free (in Illinois) at 877.847.0443. Outside Illinois, please call 217.206.7357. Hours of operation are available from the TechSupport website http://www.uis.edu/campustechnologyservices/techsupport/ . You may also e-mail email@example.com for after-hours assistance.
Q: I cannot upload a file in the student dropbox.
A: Make sure you are using a modern browser (level 4 or higher). Older browsers do not support http-uploading. Some ISPs also disallow file-uploading (switch!).
Avoid spaces in your filenames and keep your filenames reasonably short (under 20 characters). Obviously, special characters such as forward slashes or colons cannot be used in filenames on the web, as they serve to separate directories on some operating systems.
Tip: stick to letters, numbers, and underscores, and you will never have trouble.
A: In Dropbox or Discussion board click the Browse button. Select a file from your hard disk. (In Netscape you will need to look for Files of type: All Files (*.*) to see more than just HTML files).
Note: The filename should not contain spaces or special characters, be under 20 characters in length, and have the proper three-letter extension indicating the file's MIME-type, so others can open it.
When your browser receives a file from the webserver that it does not have the built-in functionality to handle, it opens it in a plug-in (or in an external "helper application") based on the file's "MIME-type". When the file does not have the proper three-letter extension, the server cannot determine the MIME-type and may not handle the file properly. The server may also not be configured to handle your kind of file, if it is an uncommon type (check the list of configured types). You can zip/stuff it to avoid this problem, but then the others also need to have an archiving utility (e.g. WinZIP, Stuffit) to open it.
Q: I downloaded a file and cannot open it.
A: If the file does not open automatically (i.e. if you get a dialogue-box saying that your browser does not know what to do with this kind of file), simply save it to your hard drive. Then try opening it in various applications, so next time you get this type of file, you know what application to pick in the browser's dialogue box. Use this method in particular if the file does not have the proper three-letter DOS-extension.
If your browser does not offer you the saving option, but launches some application that cannot properly open the file, simply right-click the link to the file that Blackboard provides at the top and choose "Save Target/Link As…"
Q: Why do posts in the discussion forum have questions marks where quotation marks should be? For example, "opinion" appears as ?opinion?.
A: This is a known issue related to copying and pasting from Microsoft Word documents into Blackboard.
By default, Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly (smart or typographer's) quotes as you type.
When these special characters are pasted into Blackboard, they are not recognized, and turn into question marks. Other Microsoft Word characters that turn into question marks in Blackboard are: quotes, apostrophes, double dashes, and 3 periods in a row.
Two Ways to Prevent Question Marks Appearing in Postings:
- Use a simple text editor, such as Notepad,Wordpad, or Textpad, instead of Microsoft Word.
- Change the default settings in Word (on the Tools | Autocorrect dialog box, uncheck all the options under AutoFormat and AutoCorrect, save your file).
Q: I try to take a quiz or survey but it says "Sorry…you already took this assessment on…"
A: If you look at a survey or a quiz, then press your browser's back button, or you start to take the quiz and do not submit it for whatever reason, the next time you try to take this quiz you will get a message from the Blackboard server
Sorry…you already took this assessment on …
For fairness reasons, you are typically only allowed to take a quiz once and you are not allowed to see a quiz before taking it for credit.
If you feel you are getting this message incorrectly, contact your instructor, giving all pertinent details. If indeed you are getting this message in error, your instructor can reset your quiz attempt and you can take the quiz again. Also see the comments under internal server error for important info!
Note: All transactions on Blackboard are logged. All page requests, times and data submitted are recorded and searchable.
A: Situation: you successfully took a quiz and got a grade, but later notice that your grade is gone and only an exclamation mark shows up under Check Grades. This happens when the quiz is set to allow multiple submissions and you later look at it again without submitting it, e.g. because you want to print it. This will establish a new attempt at the quiz, erasing all your previous answers! To see your submitted quiz and compare your answers, click on your grade within Check Grades instead – that is safe.
Q: I tried to upload a file to the Student Dropbox but I got an error "The server encountered an internal error…"
A: Make sure the name of the file you are uploading is not too long (shorter than 20 characters) and contains no spaces. If the problem persists, email your instructor with the exact time the problem occurred, what type of file you were uploading, and what type and version of browser you are using, and what ISP.
Q: I am not seeing what everyone else is seeing in Blackboard…
Try clearing your cache.

Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Brain or spinal cord disease, including hardening of the arteries in the brain, or epilepsy or other seizures—Sparfloxacin may increase the chance of convulsions (seizures) occurring
- Heart rhythm problems or
- Heart or blood problems that could lead to heart rhythm problems—Sparfloxacin can cause heart rhythm problems
- Kidney disease—Effects of sparfloxacin may be increased because of slower removal from the body
- Sensitivity of the skin to sunlight (previous)—Increased risk of severe reactions to sunlight caused by sparfloxacin
Proper Use
Sparfloxacin may be taken with meals or on an empty stomach, or with milk products or caffeine-containing products.
Drink plenty of fluids while you are being treated with this medicine. Drinking extra water will help to prevent some unwanted effects of sparfloxacin.
This medicine works best when there is a constant amount in the blood or urine. To help keep the amount constant, do not miss any doses. Also, it is best to take the doses at evenly spaced times, day and night. For example, if you are to take one dose a day, try to take it at the same time each day.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For oral dosage form (tablets):
- For treatment of infection:
- Adults—400 milligrams (mg) on the first day, then 200 mg once a day for an additional nine days.
- Children younger than 18 years of age—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For treatment of infection:
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
If you are taking aluminum-, calcium-, or magnesium-containing antacids, iron supplements, sucralfate, or zinc, do not take them at the same time that you take this medicine. It is best to take these medicines at least 4 hours after taking sparfloxacin. These medicines may keep sparfloxacin from working properly.
Some people who take sparfloxacin may become more sensitive to sunlight than they are normally. Exposure to sunlight, even for brief periods of time, may cause severe sunburn; skin rash, redness, itching, or discoloration; or vision changes. When you begin taking this medicine:
- Stay out of direct sunlight, especially between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., if possible, while you are taking sparfloxacin and for 5 days after you stop taking sparfloxacin.
- Wear protective clothing, including a hat and sunglasses.
- Apply a sun block product that has a skin protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Some patients may require a product with a higher SPF number, especially if they have a fair complexion. However, wearing a sun block product will not prevent a reaction to sunlight while you are taking sparfloxacin. If you have any questions about this, check with your health care professional.
- Do not use a sunlamp or tanning bed or booth.
If you have a severe reaction from the sun, check with your doctor. Stay out of direct sunlight and artificial light (e.g., sunlamp, tanning bed or booth) for the next 5 days or until the reaction has stopped.
If you get a skin rash or other signs of an allergic reaction, stop taking sparfloxacin and check with your doctor.
Sparfloxacin may cause some people to become dizzy, lightheaded, drowsy, or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or are not alert. If these reactions are especially bothersome, check with your doctor.
This medicine may rarely cause inflammation or even tearing of a tendon (the cord that attaches muscles to bones). If you get sudden pain in a tendon after exercise (for example, in your ankle, back of the knee or leg, shoulder, elbow, or wrist), stop taking sparfloxacin and check with your doctor. Rest and do not exercise until the doctor has made sure that you have not injured or torn the tendon.
Side Effects
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
More common- Blisters
- Itching
- Redness of skin
- Sensation of skin burning
- Skin rash
- Swelling of skin
- Abdominal or stomach cramps and pain (severe)
- Abdominal tenderness

Canoeists and kayakers are boaters too, and they need to follow safe boating practices. A study of paddlesport accident statistics from 1995 to 2000 identifies problem areas that offer the greatest opportunities to reduce canoe and kayak fatalities:
Submersed aquatic vegetation (or SAV) consists of underwater plants often found in shallow areas (usually less than six feet deep). When operating your boat in shallow areas, be careful to avoid damaging SAV, proceed at no wake speed. Do not operate a personal watercraft in such areas.
Non-native aquatic species can increase dramatically under the right conditions, displacing native species, clogging waterways, and impacting navigation and recreation. Once introduced, they are nearly impossible to eliminate. Zebra mussels are nuisance species that can be accidentally transported by recreational boaters when caught in propellers, intakes, or attached to hulls. By cleaning your boat before leaving the launching area, you will prevent the spread of these aquatic nuisance species.
Vessels greater than 26 feet in length and operating on federal waters must display a 4 by 8 inch Save our Seas placard in a conspicuous place outlining waste disposal regulations. Placards can be purchased from most boat dealers and marinas.
Disposal of certain waste or liquids is permitted beyond certain distances from shore, however the boaters may never dump plastic or any garbage mixed with plastic from a vessel.
Oil must be kept on board in a receptacle until it can be properly disposed. If oil is spilled into the water accidentally, it MUST be reported to the Coast Guard immediately.
A typical sanitation system consists of an installed toilet, a waste treatment system, and/or a holding tank. A marine sanitation device (or MSD) is a system that prevents pollution and the discharge of raw sewage. Be sure to check your MSD for U.S. Coast Guard Certification.
No discharge zones restrict the use of Type 1 and 2 MSDs which have the ability to discharge treated sewage overboard.
Meanwhile, a Type 3 MSD collects waste in a holding tank for removal at pump-out stations. The following sign indicates the presence of a pump-out station.

Product Information Menu
Commercial "one-a-day" supplements provide very low potencies. Compared to "one-a-day" products, Life Extension® Two-Per-Day contains up to 50 times more potency. This Two-Per-Day formula is available in tablet or capsule form.
Commercial supplements often contain the cheapest form of nutrients that fail to provide optimal benefits. For example, the 50 IU of synthetic vitamin E contained in Centrum® Silver® Adults 50+ may provide relatively little vitamin E to the bloodstream compared to the 100 IU of natural vitamin E in Two-Per-Day.
Two-Per-Day provides the three most effective forms of selenium which are sodium selenite, L-selenomethionine, and Se-methyl L-selenocysteine, plus alpha lipoic acid.

Pathfinder Module: Carrion Hill (PFRPG)
A dark urban horror adventure for 5th-level Pathfinder Roleplaying Game characters. The strange city of Carrion Hill has long loomed over the surrounding swamps in eastern Ustalav, yet its rulers have shifted many times through the centuries. Often enough that only a few sinister scholars and curious minds know the true nature of the hill's original inhabitants—vile and depraved cultists of the Old Gods. Yet this morning, a dreadful recrudescence rises from the depths of buried nightmare in the vaults below Carrion Hill. A monster stalks the twisted alleys of the city, spreading panic before it and leaving destruction in its wake. Can the Carrion Hill Horror be stopped? Carrion Hill is an adventure for 5th-level characters, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and compatible with the 3.5 edition of the world's oldest RPG. The adventure features a mix of urban and dungeon sites, and draws its inspiration from the popular writings of H. P. Lovecraft. This adventure is set in the sinister country of Ustalav in the Pathfinder Chronicles campaign setting, but can easily be adapted for any game world. Written by Richard Pett Pathfinder Modules are 32-page, high-quality, full-color, adventures using the Open Game License to work with both the Pathfinder RPG and the standard 3.5 fantasy RPG rules set. This Pathfinder Module includes four pre-made characters so players can jump right into the action, and full-color maps to enhance play. ISBN 13: 978-1-60125-206-7 Carrion Hill is sanctioned for use in Pathfinder Society Organized Play. Its Chronicle Sheet and additional rules for running this module are a free download (217 KB zip/PDF). Note: This product is part of the Pathfinder Modules Subscription.

Colorado State University: Students Fight for Rights to Free Speech and Assembly
Colorado State University (CSU) completely revised three formerly unconstitutional speech codes. The changes came after student activists at CSU, with help from FIRE, pressured the university to uphold the constitutional rights of CSU students. Concerned CSU students requested help from FIRE in contesting several unconstitutional policies that restricted students' expression and assembly on campus. FIRE wrote a letter to CSU President Larry E. Penley urging him to change three unconstitutional policies and the CSU Campus Libertarians held a rally in celebration of free speech outside of the designated "primary 'Public Forum' space." CSU then revised its unconstitutional speech codes.
- "2007-2008 Advertising Policy," July 19, 2007
- "2007-2008 Harassment and Hate Incidents Policy," July 19, 2007
- "Victory for Free Speech at Colorado State University," July 19, 2007: In a resounding victory for freedom of speech, Colorado State University (CSU) has completely revised three formerly unconstitutional speech codes. The changes came after student activists at CSU, with help from FIRE, pressured the university to uphold the constitutional rights of CSU students.
- "Current 'Peaceful Assembly at CSU' Policy," July 19, 2007
- "Draft Advertising and Hate Incidents Policies, April 2007," April 18, 2007
- "Students Fight for Their First Amendment Rights at Colorado State University," April 11, 2007: Students at Colorado State University (CSU) will hold a rally this afternoon to celebrate their newfound right to express themselves outside of a designated free speech zone on CSU's campus. This rally was organized by members of the Campus Libertarians, who worked with FIRE to successfully pressure the university to clarify a free speech zone policy that quarantined open expression to one small area of campus. CSU has now clarified that spontaneous assembly is allowed and encouraged at numerous locations across the campus. FIRE, along with concerned students, will continue to petition CSU to reform two other unconstitutional policies that limit students' expression in their own dorms.
- "Satellite Image of Colorado State University," April 11, 2007
- "CSU 'Hate Incidents' Policy," April 11, 2007

Case Materials
- "Colorado State: Revised Policies Still Miss the Mark," by Emily Guidry, June 15, 2007: Colorado State University (CSU) was poised to eliminate two unconstitutional speech codes that restricted freedom of speech and assembly on campus after pressure from FIRE and student activists, but FIRE was disappointed to learn this week that unconstitutional language has found its way back into the final versions of those revised policies. FIRE is asking CSU to revert to the previous drafts of the policies circulated in April, which protected students' First Amendment rights.

text: Jericho returned for a second astounding season thanks to unprecedented and impassioned support from its legion of loyal fans, many of whom sent peanuts (reportedly totaling thousands of pounds) to the CBS offices in New York and Los Angeles. Why peanuts? That was a reference to the Season 1 cliffhanger finale, which ended with a character uttering "Nuts." CBS responded by bringing the series back for this concluding seven-episode Season 2 run in the spring of 2008. In the aftermath of a devastating nuclear explosion, and a battle with neighboring New Bern, the once peaceful town of Jericho begins to rebuild itself as it attempts to communicate with the outside world. The newly formed Cheyenne government strives to establish its stronghold in the region, but Jericho's citizens become suspicious of these new leaders as they question their true intentions.

Our elected representatives in Raleigh are rushing to exclude North Carolina from a deal other states are rushing to snap up. Reasoning on both sides needs closer examination.
Medicaid is the federal/state program that provides care for millions of poor and disabled Americans. In North Carolina, expanding Medicaid could extend coverage to about 650,000 people who have a legal right to medical treatment but lack the resources to pay for it. Often, they find it in emergency rooms, and that cost is borne by hospitals, many taxpayer-supported. Ultimately, it is paid for by our taxes and insurance premiums.
The 2010 Affordable Health Act, upheld last year by the U.S. Supreme Court, obligates the federal government to cover the whole cost of Medicaid expansion for three years, and 90 percent after 2020. That would mean more paying patients and more insurers.
The fly in the ointment, as you may recall, comes from that same ruling, in which the court basically held that the Medicare expansions are constitutionally permissible but can't be made mandatory for unwilling states.
North Carolina is well into the process of making itself a non-participating state.
Those supporting the legislation argue that Medicaid in North Carolina is costly (true), bloated (debatable, at least in relative terms), inefficient (compared to which states?).
Lawmakers conclude that this state is also incapable of administering an insurance exchange. For good measure, the authors would refund the federal millions already received for setting up an exchange, having found no allure in taxpayer money that's laundered in Washington before being redistributed to those who provided it in the first place.
Why does Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, view it differently? Why will Ohio expand its program and accept the money? Probably because his state wants as few uninsured people as possible acting as a drag on medical resources, inflating the costs of health care and burdening taxpayers and premium-payers. And if anyone has asked him about the federal cost-bearing, the most likely response was that he saw no virtue in sending the money back to help states not named Ohio.
The fiscal and human costs are real. This proposal, Senate Bill 4, is about to leave the station. Those with strong thoughts on the matter are running out of time to make them known.

"A day spent as an inpatient at an American hospital costs on average more than $4,000, five times the charge in many other developed countries, according to the International Federation of Health Plans, a global network of health insurance industries. The most expensive hospitals charge more than $12,500 a day. And at many of them, including California Pacific Medical Center, emergency rooms are profit centers. That is why one of the simplest and oldest medical procedures—closing a wound with a needle and thread—typically leads to bills of at least $1,500 and often much more."

News Zogby poll findings on Senator Hillary Clinton's re-election bid.
By Chris Ulanowski
Oswego, NY – U-S Senator Hillary Clinton has a lock on the state democratic nomination as the New York democrat seeks re-election this year.
But a new Zogby International poll found that if she were to face a challenge from an anti-war candidate in the fall campaign, she could find herself in a real battle for re-election.
WRVO's Chris Ulanowski spoke to pollster John Zogby about the poll findings.

If you parse this articles claims carefully you see they are saying nothing. Such terms as "heavy use", "could lead to" and "that resemble changes" tells you what you need to know about this article. As pot becomes more discussed in public, these types of articles crack me up. It does cause short term memory loose, but didn't we already know that? Just saying.
Thx! Also checkout this revolutionary DIY gardening system http://www.99aquaponics.com
I read a version of this on the NHS site that explained that the target group, teenage daily marijuana users, were selected from a pool of people all receiving therapy. Select from a pool of med students and you would get different results. Is this really all the government has to justify their policy. I don't't think the kids are going to be impressed.
Murder changes everything.
As a homicide survivor, I can only feel for the overwhelming grief of the survivors.
The disregard for human life elicits an experience of turmoil, distrust, injustice and helplessness to any normal sense of loss and sorrow.
Wow, great sign and a great Punker!
I have to share the photo on my FB!
Good on you Lenny!
what about u being held accountable for your actions that took the life of another human being.
nothing much of my early childhood and young adulthood was worth remembering anyway !!!!
This long with Mary jane's harmful on schizophrenics is already well documented. This is just another government sponsored bash against her. Why not broach the more interesting facts recently discovered and published to cell(dot)com showing the reason pot hinders your short term memory because it inhibits the cox-2 acidic memory converter in your brain but use of ibuprofen (advil) uninhibits it allowing you to retain your memory no matter how stoned you get. Government sponsored test on pot are usually canned when they do not prove harm, open your eyes.
LENNY RULES! The scripture he guoted was a nice touch. But "I love..." says it all.
Lenny, always loved you when I was in Tucson (my teen years-age 21 in the scene) now I have a heartfelt respect for you. Love that you quoted scripture.
We heard this preacher twice while we were busking on Saturday. Told him he needed better lyrics. Just a troll with a cross.
Closed for the winter? Closed for the busy season? That does not compute.
I had to deal with these guys three days there, they did not like me wearing a Marijuana is Safer than Alcohol tee shirt and collecting signatures for Safer Arizona's cannabis and hemp legalization measure. I studied the bible for years and went to a Baptist college in the 80's they could never give me chapter and verse when asked. They preach hate which is a sin. These people turn more people from god then they turn to god.
Dikes? I can go further and say I'm in favor of all forms of defensive embankments, whether for noise-abatement or weather-related protection.
Keep Tucson Lenny!!!
That God dude had his fly down when we walked by! Pretty sure he's going to hell for that!
He misspelled 'masturbators' too. All that jaggin' off has ruined his eyes.
The Jesus Freak misspelled Atheists on his sign...

There are beer festivals…then there's the Kohler Festival of Beer.
Tucked in gorgeous, tranquil Kohler, Wisconsin, the Kohler Company and The American Club Resort, once a year, play host to quite possibly the greatest beer festival the state has ever seen. The three-day-long Kohler Festival of Beer transpires over one of the first weekends of June and, in addition to unofficially marking the start of beer festival "season", it also sets the bar for the year's other festivals extremely high.
Due to the sheer volume of extraordinary events offered at the Kohler Festival of Beer, it's near impossible to attend each and every one of them, so I'll gladly delve into the ones I was fortunate enough to enjoy:
-Chocolate & Beer Tasting (featuring Anello Mollica of Central Waters)
-Tapping Party
-Beer Summit panel discussion featuring a handful of Wisconsin craft brewers.
-Rhythm & Brews:
Flanked by two refrigerated trailers, the main festival tent in the parking lot of The Shops at Woodlake housed a plethora of beer and excellent food as live music entertained. The feeling of intimacy bread by a combination of lower attendance and a more manageable selection of beers to sample. The small-but-diverse selection offered some rarities and one-offs as well as more classic staples from breweries, keeping the sampling fun and unique but safe and comfortable as well. Some highlights were Founders Curmudgeon Old Ale, Boulder Barrel-Aged Saison, a barrel-aged Belgian strong golden ale from Leinenkugel's / Tenth and Blake, and Left Hand's Smoke Jumper Imperial Porter, to name a few.
-The Horse & Plow Afterparty
-Eggs & Kegs
-Blackwolf Run Beer Challenge Tournament & Million-Dollar Shootout
-Crispin Cider & Cheese Pairing:
I'm embarrassed to admit that, while I love Crispin's cider, the thought of pairing it with cheese never crossed my mind. Well, consider my mind blown. Mike and Katie of Crispin walked us through the origin of cider and it's almost beer-like importance in society while weaving in five different ciders, sublimely paired with artisanal Wisconsin cheese. Katie brilliantly married the cheeses with Crispin's diverse portfolio; a fine way to start the day!
-The Art of Barrel Making:
One of the fundamental aspects of the craft beer revolution is brewers' inclination to age beers in various barrels. This slide-show of vintage pictures, narrated by Gary Hess, grandson of Frank J. Hess, owner of Hess Cooperage, Wisconsin's Largest Cooperage from 1904-1966 dove deeply into the family's rich history while briefly skimming the surface of the barrel-making process. Though Hess' enthusiasm was, without a doubt, apparent, the family photo slide-show went a little long, cutting into the real reason a lot of people attended: learning the art of constructing barrels. That's not to say there was no applicable education, though, as this beer-lover learned enough to grasp the concept and further increase his yearning for knowledge.
-Four-Course Beer Luncheon:
While sitting with Grant Holtakers of Tenth and Blake, my wife and I were able to discuss the varied fare with a like-minded individual. Four different beers were paired with four different plates for an exquisite, succulent lunch that completely satisfied with small, well-rounded portions. Whole Hog's Raspberry Saison mated nicely with our petite green and duck prosciutto salad salad followed by Great Dane's crisp Peck's Pilsner and a fantastic grilled white tuna. 3 Sheeps introduced their new Baaad Boy Black Wheat which went very well with a "two ways" pork, a tenderloin as well as smoked cheeks. Superb! Lastly, we had a grand blend of beer and dessert with Leinenkugel's Big Eddy Wee Heavy Scotch Ale and a mouth-watering dark chocolate sticky toffee pudding draped with malted caramel. Surely, this luncheon, the two years I've had the pleasure of attending, is one of the greatest beer and food experiences around.
-Bourbon Barrel-Aged Beer Pairings:
Little did we know, this pairing event featuring Anello Mollica of Central Waters and their famous bourbon barrel-aged beers, chef Matthew Bauer, and chocolatier Peter Clemens of Kohler would feature full pairings, virtually another meal after our four-course luncheon. I'm tempted to say "Oy", but damn, was this one fine event! Nestled in the breath-taking cellar-themed Winery Bar underground in The American Club, the intimate seemed to fuel everyone's already abundant excitement for the event. Mollica, Bauer, and Clemens walked us through each of their offerings, all paired together, and gave us ample time, as well as an ample pour, to savor them. With no disrespect to Bauer's unique and playful dishes, the showstopper was, besides Central Waters' Fourteen Fourteen, Clemens' near-orgasmic chocolates. Thank God we were able to sample them there, for the following Chocolate & Beer Tasting was sold out far in advance.
-Beers Around the World:
Despite my inability to remember a host of specifics, never before have I seen so many quality, and in some cases, "rare" beers poured at a beer festival, and I even missed the first hour while in the Bourbon Barrel-Aged Beer Pairings! We didn't get to explore as many countries' offerings as we'd have liked, but holy cow did we enjoy some great beer! From a plethora of deep and complex Trappist beers to some great wild and sours, it was hard to move beyond the Belgian table and it's surroundings at the back of the tent. If there were that many good beers in such a small concentration, I can only imagine that the remainder of the tent held equally wonderful beers.
-Homebrewing 101
-Chocolate & Beer Tasting
-Cheers to Beers:
The grand finale of Saturday's already epic beer journey; Cheers to Beers takes place inside the vast and artistic expanse of the Kohler Design Center. A solo singer/guitarist serenaded the crowd with contemporary and classic songs interpreted acoustically. And what would one of Kohler's beer events be without plenty of delicious food displayed directly in the center of it all? The layout has an initial haphazard feel, tucking brewery reps and their beer into every available space, but it's quickly apparent that this flow allows the browsing patrons to explore everything Kohler has to offer in the design center, not just swig down their tasty samples. One of the most enjoyable parts of the festival is that, due to it's prestigious nature, most breweries, especially the Wisconsin ones, have their presidents or brewmasters pouring their beer! It also means that, rather than a huge frat party, Cheers to Beers is a relaxed environment with respectful individuals who come, not only to absorb craft beer, but the surroundings as well.
-Eggs & Kegs:
A little hair of the dog, anyone? After a Friday night of imbibing and a Saturday chock full of walking from one beer event to another, you bet I'll have a beer with breakfast! What could be a better way to start off a Sunday morning than with a plate full of The American Club's tremendous food to go with those suds? It's hard to beat breakfast outside on a patio surrounding a lake. Especially when sausage-and-cheese-infused hash browns accompanied my scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage links, and crispy, gleaming bacon on my plate while a pint of Duvel stood, carbonation heavily streaming, like a golden pillar of refreshment. Come to think of it, I should have made a beer-mosa with it! There's always next year.
-La Trappe Quadrupel Oak-Aged Vertical Tasting
-Shorts & Chefs
With all that the Kohler Festival of Beer has to offer, I find it quite difficult to really encapsulate the weekend into one summarizing sentence, but if there's one thing that stands out among all else, it's that the hospitality and amenities provided by Kohler and The American Club cannot be beat. It makes the fact you're experiencing great beer in an awe-inspiring setting that much more unforgettable.

Weve been watching Gustav develop over the last few days. Ive been hoping that it would somehow blow itself out, but it looks like its only getting stronger as it approaches the gulf coast. Im worried about the people of the region. Im worried about the reporting staff were sending in. I hope the government learned the lessons of Katrina and has systems and people ready to go.
Hurricane Gustav swelled to a fearsome Category 3 hurricane early Saturday with winds of 115 mph as it approached western Cuba on a track to hit the U.S. Gulf Coast three years after Hurricane Katrina.

CT stands for computerized tomography. In this procedure, a thin X-ray beam is rotated around the area of the body to be visualized. Using complicated mathematical processes called algorithms, the computer is able to generate a 3-D image of a section through the body. CT scans are very detailed and provide excellent information for the physician. However, because CT scans expose patients to radiation, they must be used with care.

GM's Archive Offers Glimpse Of Its Past And Future
Originally published on Thu March 14, 2013 8:12 am
After more than 100 years of ups and downs, General Motors has a lot of history. Most of GM's history is in the form of cars — hundreds of actual individual cars. The company tries to keep at least two of each car in storage. NPR's Sonari Glinton went on a walk through GM's attic to find out about the company's past and future.
