Use these customer feedback forms as a general template and tailor them to your individual needs.
By providing customers the opportunity to express themselves, it shows that you value their opinions and want to improve the product or service that you are offering. Taking this initiative can begin to build better relationships with your customers. Even though you cannot please everyone, you can use their comments as tools to build a better business or organization.
Feedback forms can also help you gather marketing information. With targeted questions such as Where did you hear/learn about us? you can get a sense of how customers are finding your business or organization. Also, by providing a space for them to leave contact information it enables to you contact them with future promotional materials such as newsletters or discount offers.
By providing a feedback form you are providing an immediate outlet for dissatisfied customers. The act of writing down comments on paper has been known to neutralize a lot of this emotion, preventing them from conveying their experience onto as many people. If a dissatisfied customer leaves their contact information it is important to follow-up with them so that they know that you have taken their comments to heart.
Did you know that a customer who has a negative experience will tell 12 other people who in turn will tell three others? You now have 48 people who have heard something negative about your business or organization because one person was dissatisfied.
When implementing a feedback system, take the time to plan out a strategy. Know what it is that that you want to learn from the customer and have a process in place to deal with both positive and negative feedback. If you get feedback from even a quarter of your customers but do nothing with it what have you learnt? And, by doing nothing you have devalued your customers opinions. Some simple guidelines are:
Be simple and concise. Be clear and to-the-point with your questions. Keep questions straightforward and easy to answer. It should not take a customer more than a minute or two to complete your feedback form.
Make it easy to find your forms. Your customers should not have to ask for a feedback form, and if they do they are less likely to fill one out. By placing your forms in easily accessible locations you will receive more valuable feedback.
Let your customers know how to return cards. Be it a drop box or a staff member, have a designated place for feedback forms to be turned in to you.
Acknowledge your customers time. When a customer fills out a feedback form and leaves contact information for you, take the time to acknowledge their comments. This is especially important for customers who left negative comments. Adding a personal touch to a response such as a handwritten note is a memorable gesture and could even see a dissatisfied customer return again.
Although feedback forms are a valid and effective means of getting feedback from your customers, do not let this replace having verbal conversations with your guests about their experience at your business or organization.

In-Person Workshop: High Performance Sustainable Buildings Guiding Principles for Existing Buildings
Live Training
The In-Person Workshop on High Performance Sustainable Buildings (HPSB) Guiding Principles for Existing Buildings is a one-day FEMP training session to provide step-by-step guidance on complying with the Guiding Principles. Executive Order (E.O.) 13514 requires at least 15% of each agency's existing facilities and building leases (above 5,000 gross square feet) to meet the Guiding Principles by the end of fiscal year 2015, and that the agency makes annual progress toward 100% conformance with the Guiding Principles for its building inventory. To meet this goal, most agencies must upgrade at least some portion of their existing building stock.
The HPSB Guiding Principles also has been incorporated into the Federal High Performance Sustainable Buildings Checklist (or Guiding Principles Checklist), now available through EPA's ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, an interactive web-based tool that allows users to track and assess energy and water consumption across entire building portfolios.
In this training session, agency and building-level personnel will:
- Gain a detailed understanding of the HPSB Guiding Principles for Existing Buildings.
- Learn the basic steps to use EPA'S Portfolio Manager and the Federal HPSB Checklist embedded within Portfolio Manager to track progress and document compliance.
- Receive guidance and solutions to help agencies comply with the HPSB performance requirements.
- Learn about alternative financing to implement energy conservation and sustainability measures without using appropriated dollars.
- Participate in a building tour scheduled of SLAC
This is a live training offered in-person for Federal employees and contractors only. Note that no webinar or remote access is available.
IMPORTANT Security Clearances: All Federal employees and contractors must show a government issued ID card (state or federal) to enter the building. Non-federal contractors need to show government issued ID. All must be U.S. Citizens.
Location: SLAC- National Accelerator Laboratory, 2575 Sandhill Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025
The workshop will be in the Panofsky Auditorium. Free parking is available.

Georgia QB Aaron Murray tests repaired ACL in a pool of sharks
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoGeorgia quarterback Aaron Murray has found a new way to rehab his torn ACL – by swimming with sharks.
While in Atlanta for an autograph event this past weekend, Murray, who had surgery to repair his torn ACL on Nov. 26, and girlfriend Kacie McDonnell stopped by the Georgia Aquarium to participate in the program. Murray and McDonnell got into a football field-sized pool with wetsuits, scuba equipment and some whale sharks.
Yes, whale sharks.
The Georgia Aquarium was so excited about Murray's visit it emailed out photos and info about it. It even looks like one shark gets a little too close for McDonnell's comfort.
Murray is already walking without crutches and said his goal is to be back on the field to work out for NFL scouts in April. He also plans to attend – though not participate – in the Senior Bowl and the NFL combine.
Guess swimming with sharks is one way to test how much the knee has healed.

Virginia coach Mike London sends recruit a letter that just says: 'YOU'
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoRecruiting has become an art form.
It's not just about buttering up a potential recruit, it's about grabbing their attention. With recruits often having hundreds of letters pouring into their mailboxes, a coaching staff needs to do its best to stand out.
Enter Virginia coach Mike London.
London sent 2014 commit Jeffrey Farrar, a three-star athlete from Upland, Calif., a recruiting letter that just said: "YOU"
So i opened this letter from coach london and I'm not really sure what it means haha. This is a new one coach L #UVA pic.twitter.com/IoydqDAs5j — JF3-ERA (@jeffery_3) December 17, 2013
Farrar actually had to delete the tweet because he was getting some haters on Twitter, but he later acknowledged that he knew what the letter meant.
"You" Stands for me being apart of a good class coming in, so for you fans who live for this stuff. Relax, i know what that letter meant
— JF3-ERA (@jeffery_3) December 17, 2013
London's tactics must be working. He already has two five-star and one four-star recruit on his commitment list.
Former Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe wants to be considered for the Army vacancy
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoBeing the head coach at Army isn't for everyone, but at least one former FBS coach thinks it's the right job for him.
Jim Grobe, who just stepped down at Wake Forest, said he'd be interested in the vacancy at Army if the military academy were to come knocking.
"Absolutely, mainly because I love the academies," Grobe told CBS Charlotte. "I spent eleven years at the Air Force Academy with Fisher DeBerry and those kids are in my heart. I have not talked to them, so whether that's something they would want, it's certainly something I'm interested in."
Grobe spent 1984-1994 as the linebackers coach at the Air Force Academy before becoming the head coach at Ohio. He then spent 13 seasons at Wake Forest before deciding to step down. He was 77-82 with the Demon Deacons and had just four winning seasons, including an 11-3 campaign in 2006 that resulted in a trip to the Orange Bowl.

Betting odds have Louisville's Charlie Strong the favorite to become Texas' next coach
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoWanna bet on who will be named Texas' next coach? Well, you can do that.
Bovada released its odds on who will replace Mack Brown and Louisville's Charlie Strong is leading the pack at 2/1. Baylor's Art Briles follows at 9/2 and Vanderbilt's James Franklin rounds out the top 3 at 5/1.
Here are all of the odds:
Charlie Strong 2/1 Art Briles 9/2 James Franklin 5/1 Mike Gundy 7/1 Bill O'Brien 15/2 Chip Kelly 10/1 David Shaw 10/1 Jim Mora 10/1 Jimbo Fisher 15/1 Jim Harbaugh 20/1 Mike Tomlin 20/1
Franklin was asked about the Texas speculation on Monday and avoided the question by saying he was concentrating on Vanderbilt and its bowl game against Houston.
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly shot down rumors they might be interested in the position.
Who do you think will be Texas' next coach?

Charlie Partridge becomes Florida Atlantic's new coach
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoFlorida Atlantic has found its new coach.
Arkansas assistant head coach and defensive line coach Charlie Partridge has agreed to replace Carl Pelini, who resigned on Oct. 30.
Partridge was in charge of an Arkansas defense that was one of the worst in the SEC, ranking 12th out of 14 teams. Partridge had worked under coach Bret Bielema for the past six seasons, including five at Arkansas.
Florida Atlantic ended the season on an upswing despite being mired in controversy. Florida Atlantic claimed Pelini and former defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis acknowledged using illegal drugs, which prompted Pelini's resignation. It was later determined that Pelini had not used illegal drugs, but failed to exercise control over his staff. His resignation was rescinded and the school decided to fire him.
Offensive coordinator Brian Wright became the interim head coach and went 4-0. FAU won five of its final seven games and led Conference USA in total defense.

Michigan State's Mark Dantonio, Pat Narduzzi brush off interest in other jobs
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday1 day agoMichigan State was supposed to use its first postseason press conference to talk about preparation for the Rose Bowl against Stanford, but coach Mark Dantonio and defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi spent some of the time talking about rumors they were being courted by other programs.
Dantonio's name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Texas opening, but said he has no interest.
Mark Dantonio on being mentioned as a candidate for the Texas job. "I see Michigan State as a destination, not a stop. That's how I see it."

Krystal restaurant in Auburn starts the smack talk ahead of the BCS National Championship (Photo)
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday2 days agoThe BCS National Championship is still a few weeks away, but the Krystal restaurant in Auburn is starting the smack talk.
On Monday, the marquee of the famous burger chain had this message for Florida State:
The Krystal in Auburn pic.twitter.com/nkd7KfMWzA
— The SEC Logo (@SEC_Logo) December 16, 2013
We appreciate the word play with "Krystal" in reference to the crystal football awarded to the national champion. Well done.
This isn't the first time the Krystal Restaurant has taunted an opponent. In October, it told Arkansas coach Bret Bielema to "shut up" after he criticized non-huddle offenses. And the Krystal even turned on the Tigers last year when they added "Tigers Beat Somebody" to the bottom of their marquee during Auburn's 1-7 start.
Apple CEO Tim Cook trolls Alabama during Auburn's Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech (Video)
Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday2 days agoToday's Video of the Day comes from one of the nation's most prominent Auburn grads, Tim Cook.
Cook is the CEO of Apple and was recently awarded a lifetime achievement at Auburn University. During his acceptance speech, he took a moment of his speech to troll Alabama fans.
About a minute into the speech, Cook notes he's going to keep his remarks brief, but says he might ask for an extra second at the end "because we all know how much of a difference that can make."
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, the comment is in reference to Alabama getting one extra second put back on the clock at the end of the annual Iron Bowl rivalry game against Auburn. The Tide attempted a long field goal that fell short and into the waiting hands of Chris Davis, who ran it back 109 yards for the game-winning score.
Cook, who has been Apple's CEO since Steve Jobs stepped down in 2011, grew up in Mobile, Ala., and graduated from Auburn with a degree in industrial engineering in 1982.
Troll Tide, Mr. Cook. Troll Tide.

Developing resources for social enterprise
Practice No. 930
Last modified: 25/03/2011 08:55:56
Institution: University of the West of England
Recently there has been growing interest in an alternate business model, social enterprise. This is a different way of doing business that trades for a social purpose whereby the social or environmental aims of the business are of equal importance to its commercial activities. Consequently the skills required for running a successful social enterprise combine those typical of enterprise activities generally with a strong motivation and passion for social improvement. We have found that this aspect is useful in engaging researchers because at the heart of social enterprise is a strong commitment to achieving a better society, a motivation that resonates with that which typically drives the research agenda and researchers themselves. This collaborative project with Vitae has been successful in developing written and associated video materials to explore enterprise skills with early career researchers. There are plans to disseminate the resources via Vitae as part of the ongoing move to produce development resources that are freely available to HEIs as part of the research skills development agenda, this is likely to be in January 2011. -

Grow Girl!: The Best Products for Thinning Hair
As black women, we take great pride in our hair. We want it to look fabulous at all times. Since the road to 'fabulous' can involves flatirons, curling irons, blowdryers, pressing combs, relaxers, texturizers, haircolor, weaves, and too-tight cornrows, the truth is that our tresses can end up breaking off, falling out, or thinning around the hairline. In fact, 40% of hair loss sufferers in the United States are women. The good news is that hair care brands are finally creating products that address the hair loss epidemic (like Biolustre, the line of hair repair products used by celeb stylist Ricardo Rojas to whip Selita Ebanks' strands into shape). Here, the best product lines to help rejuvinate and revitalize thinning hair.

Bubbles of Magnetism at the End of the Solar System
NASA's two Voyager spacecraft set out from Earth back in 1977 and have been traveling towards the edge of the solar system ever since. They have now reached the heliopause, the edge of the heliosphere where the solar wind and the Sun's magnetic field end and the interstellar magnetic field begins. Scientists had long thought that this transition was orderly, with the Sun's magnetic field lines neatly turning back to reconnect with the Sun. But now NASA scientists are finding that this region of the solar system is far more complex.
Voyager 1 and 2, now about 9 billion miles from Earth, reached this region of odd space in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and started sending back unexpected data. It's taken some time for scientists to realize what exactly is going on, but the Voyagers appear to be traveling through a foam-like zone of magnetic bubbles, each about 100 million miles across.
As the Sun spins, its magnetic field twists and wrinkles and, far away, bunches up in folds. Within those folds, magnetic field lines twist and cross and reconnect, forming the magnetic bubbles (watch the video below).
Scientists are particularly interested in how these bubbles interact with cosmic rays, subatomic particles that originate in outer space and are a source of radiation (we're largely shielded here on Earth, but how to shield future space travelers is still an unanswered question). The foam might let cosmic rays pass between the bubbles, but the bubbles might trap the cosmic rays within them.

The Sun doesn't spin. It stays in one place. Or so I remember that it does.
Spinning is rotation around an internal axis, orbiting is moving around something (like the Earth around the sun). The Earth does both.
Had I the power, I would launch probes ninety degrees parallel to our solar system. Up or down from the plane of our system to escape and realize things from the center of the sun outward, both directions. Gobs of power or trajectory planning would be needed from here, to get there, but once there, it would be like sitting in the center of a merry-go-round or a turntable, from what is understood. Much could be realized from that angle. Thinking there could be a stationary solar system platform to remain within for much observation without the effects of what is known about energy's within the plane.
Amazing. Given the newfound importance of cosmic rays on global climate (see CERN CLOUD etc) these findings are likely to impact future predictions of global climate, once we learn more.
As it stands, what we don't know that we don't know about global climate comprises roughly 90% or more of all that could possibly be known about climate itself. Very difficult to make predictions under those conditions of abject ignorance.
This is pure fantasy. No one has ever properly defined a "magnetic bubble". Think about it, just for a micro-second, if you are a physicist. As for foamy, perhaps the author using this term is not well informed about cavitation of fluids, be they fluid or gaseous from specially blad.es

January 31, 2006 Despite a heavy deployment of a UN peacekeeping contingents in the Democratic Republic of Congo's North Kivu province, insecurity and violence have set the whole region ablaze. In just over one month, heavy fighting in the Rutshuru and Beni regions have lead to more than 80,000 people being displaced either within North Kivu or across the border as refugees in Uganda. Though the fighting has stopped around Beni, and the displaced and local residents have access to basic medical care, the ongoing harassment and insecurity by the armed groups prevents them from moving freely to harvest their fields.
In Rutshuru, the situation is still critical, as combat continues and tens of thousands of people are cut off from any form of help. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams, who evacuated Rutshuru nearly two weeks ago, have been unable to return, yet thousands of people remain trapped in the area with no access to medical care. Since the January 19, fierce combat has erupted in the Rutshuru district of North Kivu province. The fighting which started in the village of Bunagana, has currently spread north on the route to Kayna to the towns of Kibiridzi and Rwindi, where UN peacekeepers have also taken part in the fighting. Government soldiers and dissident groups are now also fighting over the control of Rutshuru town, after the town was taken over by dissident groups more than a week ago. Some 50,000 people from Rutshuru district have fled either towards Kanyabayonga and Ishasha or have crossed the border to neighboring Uganda. Rutshuru town is now empty, apart from 1,000 people who have sought refuge in the general referral hospital since the fighting started two weeks ago. Tens of thousands of other people are hiding in the bush not far from their villages around Kibiridzi. Some have been able to reach Kanyabayonga, but many others have been blocked from accessing the town by the raging battle. Several hundred displaced people are also starting to arrive in Goma. From January 20 to January 29, more than 30 wounded have been taken care of in Rutshuru Hospital and another 20 wounded have been operated on in the Kayna general hospital where MSF teams are working. MSF is worried about the lack of access to relief aid and medical help for the populations in Rutshuru district who have been deprived of any form of assistance for the past two weeks. Upsurge of terrorEven since the official end of the DRC's war in 2002, North Kivu has been the setting of violence, fighting, and looting by a mixture of armed groups operating in the region. Throughout the past year, the population has been subjected to harassment, racketeering, rape, and forced displacement. In 2005 alone, MSF treated more than 1,200 victims of rape in Beni, Kayna, and Rutshuru areas, where men in arms committed most rapes. The territory of Rutshuru has been particularly violent and unstable, leading MSF to open a project in August 2005 to support the surgical, pediatric, and internal medicine wards of the general referral hospital in Rutshuru, and to provide much needed primary health care and a referral system to the population of Katwiguru health zone. However, it has been more than a year since such heavy fighting erupted in the region provoking so much displacement. This most recent upsurge of fighting in Rutshuru comes only a month after military operations in the territory of Beni provoked the displacement of 36,000 people. In December 2005, military operations by the Congolese armed forces (FARDC) and the MONUC (UN peace keeping mission) to flush out Ugandan rebel fighters (NALU) provoked forced displacement along the Beni — Erengetti road. MSF has now returned to work in this area, bringing medical care to the town of Linzo where 2,200 displaced families are residing. Though most of the displaced population in the area is being provided with medical and basic relief aid, they are living in overcrowded conditions and are increasingly finding it difficult to access food provisions. Attacks by armed groups have hindered people's access to their fields in order to start the harvest, depleting their food resources, and increasing prices in the market. The arrival of the displaced also coincides with an outbreak of cholera in the village of Liva, where 950 displaced families have recently arrived. Since December 2005, 42 patients have been treated in a cholera treatment unit set up in the village, with 2 people dying of cholera. Trapped by violence and deprived of assistanceHowever, the situation for the population in Rutshuru is particularly difficult as heavy fighting continues and humanitarian access to the population has been impossible since hostilities started two weeks ago. Looting by armed groups has lead to protests by local youth, however combats have not yet stopped, putting the local population at great risk.
"The population doesn't know who is fighting who or what is going on. They are terrified and completely at a loss," says Frédéric Delmavoisine, MSF field coordinator for Rutshuru. "A man we know who has been displaced in the bush has been calling me several times. He can hear the fighting, the use of heavy weaponry, but doesn't know where to go or how to seek protection." MSF teams who were working in the Rutshuru referral hospital, have evacuated and have only been able to return twice in the past week in order to provide the hospital with much needed medicine and medical material. Before the fighting, MSF and hospital teams carried out an average of 25 surgical interventions a week, and saw over 100 patients a week in the emergency room. Around 80 patients a week were also taken care of in the pediatric and internal medicine wards. Currently, the hospital activities remain stable though lower than average. The MSF team working in Katwiguru health center has also evacuated but has been unable to return. Prior to the evacuation, MSF doctors carried out an average of 300 consultations a week in Katwiguru, with 50 percent of consultations being due to malaria. Nearly 20 patients a week were transferred to the referral hospital due to complications, mostly related to malaria but also for gynecological and obstetrical secondary care. The health center in Katwiguru, which provided care for more than 17,000 people, is now closed due to lack of medicine, and the referral system is not functional. The people who remain in the area are subject to looting and harassment by armed groups. Subject to increased insecurity, unable to work"We are extremely worried about all the people who remain hiding in the bush with no access to care," says Jean Sebastian Matte, the MSF head of mission currently in Kayna. "The population of Kibiridzi is spending its fifth day in the bush, living in terrible conditions. All the 10 health centers on the axis between Kiwanja and Ishasha are not functioning as they have no medicine left, and we are unable to supply anymore. In this zone we used to refer many children for complications linked to malaria, 60 percent of them requiring blood transfusions. The MSF ambulance which was referring an average of 50 patients a week no longer works, which means that people are dying at home without any chance to reach the hospital." MSF teams continue to work in Kayna general hospital and are still receiving wounded. MSF teams have also started providing medical care for more than 25,000 displaced people in Kanyabayonga. The resident population is also under considerable strain, as each household is hosting two to three displaced families in their homes. MSF teams are also providing medical care for 5,000 people who fled to Uganda. But MSF is still unsure when it will be able to return to work in Rutshuru. As Jean Sebastian says, "The situation is so confusing for us that we don't know when we'll be able to bring assistance to the population that is still trapped in Rutshuru. Unfortunately there is no security for our teams to work properly, yet the civilians are at high risk and their situation is dramatic. Currently all we are able to do is to continue to supply the hospital in Rutshuru with medicine and medical material, and bring attention to the plight of these people so that their situation is not ignored". |

One of the core datacenter switches will be taken out of service for maintenance on Sunday, November 24 at 6:00AM. We do not anticipate any interruption to service, as it is part of a fully redundant switch architecture, though some monitor tools may report when the device is powered off.
As of 11:30 am on November 21, Exchange email connectivity is intermittently available. Email messages are being queued and not being lost.
Information Services is aware of the issue and is working to resolve the outage as soon as possible. We will post an update when more information is available.
Primary Contact: Joel Burks, email@example.com
NERO will be performing emergency maintenance today, November 19th, 2013, between 1700 and 1800 to replace a failed optical controller card at the NERO Hub in Salem.
This repair is not expected to affect service.
The ONID shell server will be unavailable on Saturday November 23rd from 8:00am to 8:30am for a software upgrade.
OS security patches will be applied to the ONID shell services (shell.onid.oregonstate.edu). A quick reboot is required, briefly disrupting user shell access between 8:00 and 8:30. The change will be verified before and after rebooting.
Primary Contact: Joel Burks, email@example.com
LS Networks has notified NERO of planned maintenance on Friday, November 22nd 2013, between 0000 and 0200. This maintenance will occur on the Eugene leg of the Eugene/Kfalls/Medford circuit. Traffic between these sites will be rerouted to redundant connections. Additionally, a few NERO customers can expect up to 20 minutes of downtime to occur. NERO affected customers: OSU Extension Service – Coos County OSU Extension Service – Curry County OSU Extension Service – Douglas County OSU Extension Service – Linn County OSU Extension Service – Lincoln County.
Various ONID account management activities, such as changing ONID passwords and signing up for ONID accounts, were failing from 1:08pm to 2:15pm today with an error message "Object class violation". This was due to some internal changes in the LDAP service. After the problem was identified, we were able to re-enter the missing configuration information.
The errors began occurring when a new LDAP server was added to the replication pool, even though the new server was not accessible to LDAP clients. When the new server was added, the LDAP schema was modified and several critical OSU-specific objectclasses were deleted. The LDAP servers automatically replicate schema changes, so I suspect the new server tried to replicate its schema (which did not contain the OSU-specific objectclasses yet) back to the other servers. I resolved the problem by re-entering the OSU-specific schema.
This same process was used a few weeks ago to add a new server without any trouble. There may be a timing issue because this time I was able to cut-and-paste all the changes, performing them more quickly than previously.
In the future, I will bring the new LDAP server online as a consumer (read-only) first, verify the schema is accurate, and then promote it to a master.

Starting at 8:00 AM on Tuesday Nov 19 CWS will be updating hosted Drupal 6 sites to our latest releases. This update contains some important security and bug fix updates to a number of the contributed modules included in CWS Drupal.
In addition is update adds a new administrative theme for sites which are using the Doug Fir theme. The administrative theme is what you see when you are editing content or making configuration changes. Visitors to your site never see the administrative theme. This change make editing content easier than with the default Doug Fir theme. Let us know how you like it.
Although each site will incur a 2 to 3 minute interruption in service to the affected websites, most site visitors will not notice the interruption, as most pages are cached. This will be a rolling upgrade and we cannot say exactly when or on which day a specific site will be affected.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us through our form at http://oregonstate.edu/is/services/cws/contact.
Thank you,
Paul Lieberman Lead Web Developer Central Web Services
The CN-Home file server experienced an outage today from 11:04am to 12:37pm. The cause appears to be the same as similar outages that happened on this server on 9/19 and 10/17, and 10/29. Customers reported inability to access their P: drive and "not responding" errors in applications that were accessing files located on the P: drive.
CN-Home will be taking emergency maintenance this evening (time to be determined) to implement our fix for resolving this issue.
Primary Contact: Joel Burks, email@example.com
NERO will be performing maintenance on the NERO Optical Backbone between Eugene and Klamath Falls during the next regularly scheduled maintenance window on Monday November 18th, between 0400-0600.

The IS Server Support team will performing maintenance on the Exchange mailbox servers this weekend. We do not expect this maintenance to
cause an outage, however users may see a two messages while their mailbox switches to the redundant server(s) and back.
Who will this affect: Each switch-over takes about 5-10 seconds and is mostly transparent to customers.
When will this happen: In order to cause the least disruption to users, we need to perform maintenance on each of the servers at a minimum of 8 hours apart. This means that we cannot specify the exact time that each server will be taken offline. The switchovers will occur on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
What are we doing: Applying current hotfixes and rebooting.
Why are we doing this: To stay current on Windows security and bug fixes.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

On Wednesday Nov 6th CWS will be updating CWS Hosted Drupal 7 sites to the latest version of Drupal 7 and included modules. This will only affect Drupal 7 production sites. Although this will incur a 2 to 3 minute interruption in service to the affected websites, most site visitors will not notice the interruption, as most pages are cached. This will be a rolling upgrade and we cannot say exactly when or on which day a specific site will be affected.
This release includes some important security patches and bug fixes.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us through our form at http://oregonstate.edu/is/services/cws/contact.

Notice of Unplanned Outage
We are experiencing an unplanned outage on CN-Home. We\'re looking into this further and anticipate services to be restored in about 15 minutes.

If you have questions or concerns about this outage, please contact Network Engineering at net (at) oregonstate.edu or call 737-HELP.
The CN-Home file server experienced two more outages today. The cause appears to be the same as similar outages that happened on this server on 9/19 and 10/17. Customers reported inability to access their P: drive and "not responding" errors in applications that were accessing files located on the P: drive.
We believe we have traced the cause of these service interruptions to an unintentional denial of service. The source of the interruption has been stopped, and we are investigating the root cause. We do not expect any more such interruptions.

Incident, resolved: Various Services Behind Affected Firewall Date and Time: 10/29/2013 – 5:50 am
OSU's Corvallis Campus experienced a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack this morning approximately 5:52 am till 6:10 am. The result was unreliable connectivity for several services behind affected firewalls.
This appears to be related to Sunday's DDOS attack that affected the Shared Infrastructure Group. We are working with affected parties to mitigate the impacts of future attacks.

I was not sure what to expect, but museum has a photography exhibit by Vishniac which is amazing and chronicled WWII and 1930's Europe. This artist was also an esteemed microbiologist and took "microimages" which were featured also. The wood exhibit was also very good and worth a stop, especially for those appreciating modern art. I noticed many tours led... More
The Edward Larabee Barnes building is magnificent. A perfect little museum. Bur if you can go to the Met, why waste your time unless you ane seeking local artists.
As another reviewer wrote, "don't just go there - check out their website to see what, if any events or exhibitions are going on. Like all other museums, they have a rotating collection." Call the museum and see which & how many exhibits are open. The gift shop has original & unique gifts, so stop in to shop even if... More
First things first, don't just go there - check out their website to see what, if any events or exhibitions are going on. Like all other museums, they have a rotating collection so the criticisms that other people had that the art there "isn't good" isn't necessarily true for all times. Like I said in the title, the place is... More
The Museum of Art in Ft. Lauderdale has lovely works of Art Works. The Museum is located in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale it has a wonderful ambiance and is located of Andrews avenue. Also, it has a lovely gift section that one can browse through and the works of Art are phenominal
Museum is clean, and the guides are knowledgeable. The exhibits that are brought in as interesting. They also have summer classes for children, and night classes for adults. The area around museum is nice, called River Walk. You can spend the whole day at the museum and the area around it.
In addition to a great permanent showcases, the museum will have temporary exhibits that are worth visiting. Can easily spend a couple of hours here.
A pretty pricey entrance fee ($14) for a very, very small museum, which is only sparsely populated with art. There were some interesting exhibits, but not many pieces in the galleries. The staff was not very helpful, and there were no exhibit maps. Overall, it was nice to spend an hour out of the heat, they had cool, clean bathrooms,... More
We had a long day outside so I ended up here for an hour one hot afternoon. This is a small museum that was really nice but there was not enough here for the $14 admission price! They have some permanent exhibits and some temporary ones, and I understand they switch out the paintings sometimes. There is a really nice... More

Your Council
A summons will be sent if the council's records show that your council tax has not been paid by the due dates. The summons will include court costs which will be added to the amount outstanding.
If the council tax bill is in more than one name, each party to the bill will have received a summons. This means that each party is jointly and severally liable for the whole debt. It is a matter for the liable parties themselves to decide who should pay the debt but where payment is not received, the council can continue to recover the full amount from either party.
If you think for any reason that the amount shown on the summons is wrong, you should contact the council before the court date.
If the full amount, including costs, is paid by the court date, no further recovery action will be taken.
You do not have to attend court unless you have a valid defence against the issue of a liability order. The court will deal with your case in your absence.
If you decide to attend please note that the court cannot take into account your ability to pay. The court is only being asked to say that you are liable to pay.
At the hearing, the council will provide evidence to the court that you are liable for the council tax and that it has not been paid. If the court is satisfied with this evidence it will issue a liability order.
A liability order provides the council further powers to recover council tax including:
A letter will be sent to you after the court date.
Once a liability order has been obtained, the council will write to you and will send you a personal information form. You will need to complete this and advise of your proposal to pay. You can also complete a form online. The council will respond if your proposal is not acceptable. You should pay as offered in the meantime.
The council may not accept your offer of payment if it considers it will take too long to clear the debt.
Find out how to pay.
The issue of a magistrates' court summons for non-payment of council tax will not affect your credit rating. It is a private matter between you and the council and lists are not provided to any credit agency.

12-21-2012 is less than a month away.
Now the neighbors know where to go....
...and by publishing his name, you´ve now made him a target. Brilliant.Here in the U.S., many people are doing likewise *and* they´re well-armed with several thousands of rounds of ammunition.
As someone who also has several thousand rounds of ammunition, I am not sure why there´s all these references to large stockpiles of ammo. I do it because it´s less expensive to get it in bulk, and as availability can fluctuate, I want enough so I can ride out a couple few years.That said, I can´t imagine sitting in my bunker/fortified home, eating MRIs and shooting thousands of rounds at neighbors? inner-city looters? government storm troopers? zombies? who?
People in NY and Jersey laughed about those people that laid up stores of food and water.How that work out for them?
Well we have to ask a question...survive for what purpose? To clean up the mess? No thanks, I´d as soon go with the first blast!
Grasshopper media like to ridicule the ants. Winter is here.
Way down in the article it has this:~~They all feature in PREPPERS UK:SURVIVING ARMAGEDDON which is exclusive to the National Geographic Channel on Thursday 29th November at 11pm or Friday 30th November at 8pmThe show is part of the British version of a series about people preparing for the apocalypse. The date that some believe will bring the end of the world is fast approaching.~~
Learn how to get wild edible plants and protein, someone will kill you for your MRIsPretty easy to smoke you out of your bunkerKnowledge is well hidden and travels light
wow. the only thing not supplied is their google map coordinates. so much for security. names, townships, counties. I´ll bet the neighbors are happy to get this info.´´come on chaps. We´re going to pay old Simon a friendly visit´´...
It is interesting that many feel the need to poke fun and ridicule those who feel they foresee troubled times ahead and try to plan for it. I see many examples of the need to call them fools, crazy people or potentially dangerous people. It seems somehow necessary to put them in a silly light. I suspect so that many who have not prepared can somehow feel better about themselves. How strange!Yet when a real crisis were to happen, and they have happened and will happen again, what are we to make of this? Katrina and Sandy are but recent examples that come to mind. Would it not be better to at least plan a little in advance. Simply following FEMA´s advice to stockpile food and water for at least two weeks? Yet why the shaming of those who would do more. Better yet, why is it considered fashionable to do nothing?What would happen to these extreme stockpilers in a real and prolonged emergency? Would they be called thieves and horders, even they they had planned well in advance without any profiting intetions beyond self preservation? Would their property be taken away for the "common good". Should they fear confiscating government entities or worse their hungry neighbors? It has been documented that prolonged hunger can induce a form of psychosis.Maybe the real answer is for those who do extreme stockpiling to not advertise their efforts. I have heard the term OPSEC. But is that really doing any good or more harm in the long term, making us fearfull of our family, friends and neighbors? Trully strange times we live in.
"The Mayan calendar predicts that the end of the world is less than a month away . . ."When the article begins with hype absurd enough to embarrass most tabloids, there´s really no point wasting time on the rest.The Mayan calendar does not predict the end of the world -- just the end of their "year" (the long period of time called a bak´tun).Maybe it´s not too early to start demented apocalyptic rumors about 1/23/4567...
Sounds like my off-grid cabin. I do need gas or propane to pump water from the well (redundant generators), but I have solar for everything else electric. Year´s supply of food, fuel, clothing, and other necessities: all check. It´s 10 miles off pavement and hard to find.
Wonder how many houses have bunkers under them ?

DECATUR — "Where's my polling place again?"
The number of people asking themselves — and Google — that question before elections can be in the tens of thousands, according to Adam Kravitz.
He would know. Kravitz is the CEO and founder of eVoter, a nonpartisan election information site that can tell voters who is on their ballots, what those candidates say about themselves and what organizations have endorsed them.
"There's still kind of this thought in political campaigns that the Internet is for, you know, young voters … when in fact, it's how you reach everybody," Kravitz said.
The service is accessible through the Herald & Review website, www.herald-review.com.
"It's a good service for our readers and helps keep them informed," said Dave Dawson, Herald & Review managing editor. "They can go to our website and find a lot of information about candidates in our databases and also plug their addresses into eVoter and get a sample ballot. It must be doing its job, because we are getting a lot of traffic going to eVoter."
Candidates and organizations can create profiles and list endorsements on the website for free. Kravitz said they must enter their ID numbers and the profiles are reviewed by staff to make sure they are legitimate.
Illinois was the first state to debut the service during its 2010 primary. Now, Kravitz said eVoter has expanded to all 50 states, although it remains particularly useful in Illinois, where the information online varies from county to county.
Kravitz said the service offers a centralized location to learn about all the candidates on the ballot, including those that do not particularly get a lot of media coverage.
"People are going to come into the booth, and it's going to take them 10, 15 minutes to vote. By the time they get to these races at the bottom they're going to be tired, uninterested," Kravitz said. "… If a local candidate can touch these people at the time they're actually interested, at the time they're actually making their decision, this is a huge opportunity for down-ballot candidates to reach voters."
via Online eVoter aims to enlighten electorate with candidate, campaign information.

Ode To Joy
In the famous Peanuts cartoon by Charles M. Schulz, the character Schroeder is seen playing his piano, often recreating a tune of Ludvig van Beethoven's. Many times, the same song comes out, but somehow, he hits the right series of notes to emphasize his progress or frustration.
As we begin the New Year, we too at Sharing-Books continue to play our music. Our IT department regularly meets to find ways of enhancing the site. Our Classics department scours the globe in search of material that will somehow strike a chord in the minds and hearts of our readers. And of course, our Executive Team meet with those interested in supporting literacy and raising up the next generation of readers.
Our creators have brought you lively illustrations, such as those created by Catherine York and James Stroud, as well as topical written material that addresses the human condition. And that is to only name a few of our creators! Together, we create a global publishing company that has released over 150 e-books and posters in 2009.
So just as a pianist takes a fraction of a moment before beginning the next song, we encourage all of you to consider how truly splendid that feat is! It started with a single note, followed by a second hand on the keyboard, only to be joined by yet more players and more instruments. It seems only fitting of course, to encourage you to listen to this piece by Beethoven, as we ring in the New Year. Please join us in humming, singing and conducting this rendition of Ode To Joy.
