Buffalo inks F Ellis to one-year deal
Sabres sign Matt Ellis
'Ellis now has 20 points (10+10) in 115 career NHL games with Buffalo, Los Angeles and Detroit. The 27-year-old native of Welland, Ont., was claimed off waivers by the Sabres from Los Angeles on October 1, 2008.'
Sabres prospect Myers looking to stick around
'Since being drafted a year ago, Myers has grown another inch and added 10 pounds. He would eventually like to stack on another 10 pounds to help offset some of his lankiness. "Hopefully I'm slowing down here (with my height), and hopefully I can start growing outward," he said with a smile.'
Weber: "This is my year"
'"I've been through the 'should have been there, could have been there' [stage]… Now it's the last year of my contract. Now is the time to get it together."'
Sabres' Kennedy, Gerbe look to fill job openings
'"It helps," Kennedy said. "Last year I kind of knew going into camp that I didn't really have a shot at making the team, but I just wanted to make a real good impression. This year, I know with the season that I had in Portland, if I have a good camp, I'll have a pretty good shot at maybe getting one of those spots."'
Foligno making a name for himself
'"I like to bet on character. I like to bet on genes," Kevin Devine, the team's director of the scouting, said earlier this month. "Everything just pointed to him. And then the fact that the name is Foligno was a bonus."'
Gaustad, Ertle and Stadey Join WAHA Leadership
'The Portland Winterhawks have announced the appointment of current NHL player and former Winterhawk Paul Gaustad as spokesman for the Winterhawks Amateur Hockey Association (WAHA), Mark Ertle as executive director, and Portland hockey coach Ben Stadey as director of hockey operations.'
Kassian riding shotgun
'"I've already learned so much," he said regarding the camp. "Even their work ethic behind the scenes… It's not just on the ice but they work so hard off the ice to get in shape and do the little things to be a good player. I want to get out there as soon as possible. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later."'
Sabres anxious to see Kassian showcase talents
'"Obviously, I like to go into the dirty areas and get the puck and play physical, stand up for teammates," he said. "But (I) also have skill and can put the puck in the net."'
Division foes improve as Sabres snooze
'The Sabres, meanwhile, are selling … well … what, exactly? They finished 10th in the conference last season. They haven't signed Drew Stafford or any other restricted free agents. They haven't made any trades, which is supposedly the plan. To improve they'll need much more than the Craig Rivet-type moves they made last year.'
Sabres' Butler goes to the tape
'"I can still learn a lot," Butler said. "We've got all my games logged on the computer, and I can watch those. But we get an opportunity to watch a lot of other teams' videos, and I can pick or choose what some of the other teams do, kind of dissect what makes them successful."'
Schutz still skating under radar
'"I don't have to be in the newspaper all the time," Schutz said Tuesday. "I'm just trying to do my job on the ice and off it. I don't think it's a great thing that I'm not in the paper, but I don't think it's a bad thing. I guess I'll just deal with it."'
Wednesday's Portland Coverage
Pirates Announce Opponents for 2009-10 Season (PortlandPirates.com)
Sabres getting their answers about Myers
'"I think if you would've asked me (if he could play this season) when we drafted him I would've said very close to zero percent," Regier said. "I think what's happened now is we're going to have to give him a look. … His game has really taken off, really matured."'
Sabres prospect Myers makes sizable impression in camp
'It will become clear over the next couple of months whether the Sabres feel Myers is ready. General Manager Darcy Regier has said he's trying to make trades, and if a defenseman or two depart, it could mean there's room for Myers.'

Lost it direction
Have to agree with previous comments. New mentalist has no continuity and lacks the cohesion that the old team gave it. Change back soon
Jerrycan 9:51pm Tue 22 Apr Report Abuse
if it aint broke don't fix it
the new mentalist format is BORING it lacks the great interaction of original cast. there was a cozy feeling in that old office that the sofa in the new one doesn't make happen. bring back the original cast & ditch the FBI storyline. whole show has no continuity like the old. best part of new show is when the old cast is together. The FBI storyline interwoven is unnecessary. never thought i'd say this but if things don't go back i'm looking elsewhere!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by shan, Apr 9, 2012.
Okay so we're beginning at 8:52 ET according to twitter.
All because of a golf tournament at a club where only men can be members.
Okay, off my soapbox for now.
We can all look at Ernie and Cindy's wedding photos while we wait: http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,20579308_21134684,00.html
Love the lobby of the Rookery there--and the cake topper .
Impressive ceremony site. She looked lovely.
Beautiful pictures! The cake topper is
Beautiful building! My optometrist's office is in there, although you can't see it in this shot. Of course, it doesn't look exactly like that every day.
Interesting to see which other teams made it to the wedding!
Here she is
HAHA! This arguement happened the first season "How could I bump into you if I was in front of you."
The amazing race is repeating itself!
So on the courtship thing, all you have to do is jump for a minute? Why would anyone do the throwing thingy? What did I miss?
Yeah that's what I was wondering.
at one of the redneck guys grinning and jumping, blowing kisses as they left.
The instructions must not mention it is only a minute. They showed the clue, but I can't freeze my screen, so I wasn't sure if the full description were shown to us.
Phil made it sound like "altitude" would make it tough- but wouldn't that make the throwing tough too.
Also- Vanessa on the bike is cracking me up. Anyone else I would feel bad, but I do not like her.
Phil tweeted that it was hard jumping at that altitude. I'd still pick it over the throwing though.
Glad to be in Canada this week where CTV aired the episode on time.
Tanzania was gorgeous btw!
My boot camp instructor says you can do anything for a minute.
Rachel was singing/shouting while she was jumping. If it was THAT hard, she wouldn't have been able to do that.
Perceived exertion tests always do sing/long conversation/short conversation/talking/short of breath/barely breathe/out of breath.
The way they were all finishing it, I wouldn't even put it in the middle of that spectrum.
I'd rather see Rachel and Dave go than Vanessa and Ralph.
ita, i feel like i've disliked brenchel for so long, it's like we're related
Listening to the federal agents whine about how weak they are because they are just women is ridiculous. Do you not need any sort of physical training to be in law enforcement?
I would have done the same thing as those federal agent girls. It's not so often that you'd see elephants in the wild. I would have stopped knowing I was in last place. What's there to loose but to see wild elephants!
Sooooooooooo, I missed the last 15 min. of the episode -- who was eliminated this week?
non elim. leg -- Nary/Jaime were last
I don't know if I need to put in black, but ...
Me too!
It feels like it's been for-frickin-ever since we've had a new episode, so I was super glad for tonight's episode. The fact that it was in Africa was an added bonus. Every time they go there it makes me want to go back
Airport drama... different than the 'scheming' drama from the early seasons... this was just hilarious to watch I loved Rachel's faces with each insult Vanessa doled out. If I was traveling through Nairobi at that time I would have grabbed a seat and had myself a great afternoon watching all of that.
Jumping for 1 minute? I know it's at altitude, but if Pukey could make it through, everyone could.
I figured it was NEL once they had them constructing a tent in which they'd sleep in for the night. That looked like a super complicated set up.
-Airport drama wasn't as bad as I thought it would be
-LadyGents STILL won't admit they are...you know LadyGents?? Come on!!
-When Jamie told us her "I accidentally shot my leg and Nary was with me the whole time" story, I knew they were toast (and since they were my pick for this week, I almost panicked).
-Detour: I'd choose Courtship ANY day. I'm very bouncy (some people say)...wait, that didn't come out right
-I knew it was a non-elim as soon as they were told to build a tent
-Mark's "Don't fart on me Bop" had me for a while. Still does
-What else? Oh, Tanzania is gorgeous.
For next week: I wonder which team(s) will be double U-turned?? Brenchel Rachel said "shocker" in a sarcastic tone which could mean:
a) THEY were U-turned by another team (which could be anyone, since they don't seem to get along with anyone), or
b) they U-TURN another team...that team being Ralph and Vanessa (because they hate them).
We'll see what happens
To be fair, they never said they were "weak" and they didn't look weak. But, it did help to have both height and upper body strength in that task. And, realistically, most of the other teams did have at least one guy who had that advantage.
I'm glad it was a NEL leg because there are other teams I'd prefer to see go before the "teachers."
I fecking hate Angel - she is just a vile person. Thank you TAR editors for giving me the schaudenfreude I so desperately needed with the endless bike crashes
Of course, I despise AJ and Whatsisname too, and there's two of them so maybe I hate them twice as much.
Pretty obvious this was going to be an NEL, so I'm kinda glad it wasn't Angel saved. But dayum the She-Feds make me I'm glad they stopped to watch the elephants though. What an incredible moment
I wish Mark and Bopper had had their shower together. It would have been nice to have a new team come in first.
Change of subject: This was actually one of my favorite episodes in awhile. And I'm not even sure why!
oh PML!!!! er, freudian slip?? :
seriously though, I DON'T have any desire to see that
About as good a Freudian slip as this one:
Since we watched Dr. Gates' latest Genelogy series on PBS, and I'd missed fifteen minutes due to my sister and bil leaving after Easter Supper, I decided to catch tonight on HD in the rec room on Seattle CBS and...
So very glad I did. Tanzania is one drop dead gorgeous piece of this planet. Count another who would have also stopped to see the elephants. Good for them!! I also didn't get any "whining" from them when putting up the tent and shower. Just stating the obvious that due to the other teams all having at least one guy, they had a wee bit of an easier time of getting the thing up.
Still loving Mark and Bopper and the "Don't fart Bop!!" line nearly had me falling out of the chair I was LOL so hard. Loved them at the Courtship thing and they were just so into it, couldn't help but grin watching them. Also for someone who has Slavery just a couple of generations back in their Family History, I can't even imagine what being able to just go to any part of Africa period, would mean to that person. What a really special moment for the both of them.
Is it just me or does there seem to be more teams to not cheer for in the home stretch this go round than in previous Seasons past?
Angel? Is that Rachel or Vanessa?

Memo to CNN's Brown: Evidence supports Soros's claim that Iraq war is a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda
On September 28, CNN host Aaron Brown accused philanthropist George Soros of making a statement as unfounded as the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign's claim that "Al Qaeda would like to see Mr. Bush defeated" in the November presidential election. Referring to Soros's September 28 speech [1], Brown claimed that Soros couldn't know that "the war in Iraq had been a great recruiting tool for Osama bin Laden ... any better than they [the Bush campaign] know what they said."
But the fact is, there is evidence that supports Soros's claim that the Iraq war has aided Al Qaeda recruitment, while evidence contradicts the Bush campaign claim that Al Qaeda wants Senator John Kerry to win.
From the September 28 edition of CNN's NewsNight with Aaron Brown:
BROWN: I think -- it is true that the Bush campaign and its surrogates have said in one way, shape, or form, that Al Qaeda would like to see Mr. Bush defeated. It's also true I think that in your speech today, you [Soros] said the war in Iraq had been a great recruiting tool for Osama bin Laden, which is just the flip side of the same coin. And you can't know that any better than they know what they said.
EVIDENCE: The Iraq war has been a successful recruiting tool for Al Qaeda
The International Institute for Strategic Studies [2] (IISS), a British-based think tank that focuses on political-military conflict, stated in its 2003-2004 report, The Military Balance [3], that the "war in Iraq has probably inflamed radical passions among Muslims and thus increased Al Qaeda's recruiting power and morale and, at least marginally, its operating capability," according to an October 15, 2003, Reuters article [4].
As the Center for American Progress noted [5], IISS found:
Iraq has become the new magnet for Al Qaeda's recruiting efforts. Up to 1,000 Islamic fighters from foreign nations have infiltrated Iraqi territory, where they are co-operating with Iraqi insurgents. "In counter-terrorism terms, the intervention has arguably focused the energies and resources of al-Qaeda and its followers." Progress against Al Qaeda "is likely to accelerate only with currently elusive political developments that would broadly depress recruitment and motivation."
According to an article [6] in the July/August issue of Mother Jones:
Vincent Cannistraro, a former chief of counterterrorism at the CIA under presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush, said the Iraq war has "accelerated terrorism" by "metastasizing" Al Qaeda. Today, Al Qaeda is more than the narrowly defined group that attacked the United States on September 11, 2001; it is a growing global movement that has been energized by the war in Iraq.
Many newspaper and wire reports further support this claim:
- The Christian Science Monitor, "Al Qaeda may be rebuilding: US has captured key operatives, yet the war in Iraq may spawn a new army of recruits [7]" May 5, 2003: "There is also evidence that Al Qaeda's remaining leadership believes the war in Iraq will produce a new stream of recruits disenchanted with American actions, perhaps allowing Al Qaeda to create a new front of international jihad."
- Associated Press, "Iraq War Boosts Militants' Recruiting [8]," April 1, 2003: "Muslim radicals are feeding on anger over the war in Iraq to regroup and revitalize, raising the threat of more anti-U.S. terrorism around the world. ... Analysts say the Iraq war is emboldening militants, who believe the United States is distracted by the fighting. 'Militants know that the United States is fully engaged in Iraq and that has diluted their focus on the war on terror,' said Riffat Hussein, a political analyst."
- Los Angeles Times: "Al Qaeda Seen as Wider Threat [9]," September 26: "Officials say the terrorist movement has benefited from the rapid spread of radical Islam's message among potential recruits worldwide who are motivated by Al Qaeda's anti- Western doctrine, the continuing Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the insurgency in Iraq. The Iraq war, which President Bush says is necessary to build a safer world, has emerged as a new front in the battle against terrorism and a rallying point for a seemingly endless supply of young extremists willing to die in a jihad, or holy war."
EVIDENCE: Al Qaeda does not want Kerry to win
As Media Matters for America has noted [10], there is a conspicuous lack of evidence to support the claim that terrorists want Kerry to win in November's election. There is, however, evidence [11] suggesting terrorists would prefer four more years of the Bush administration.

Gifts For Your Artistic Friend
Think middle school is too early to start your college search? "No way!" says The College Board's April Bell. "Starting early allows you freedom." While you don't have to start actually going on tours or applying yet, start asking around to cousins, siblings, and friends about their schools, and find out what they like about their universities.
When you start your search, consider your likes, dislikes, and goals, and then search accordingly. If you know what major you want to study, search by that, but don't let that be the only filter you use, warns Bell. Search by all types of factors, like location, cost, extracurricular activities, sports, setting (urban or rural), and student-to-teacher ratio. Oh, and of course male-to-female ratio!

thanks for the compliments
K, so, since I'm bound to a TON of project wait lists until, oh, say when I DIE, how's about I contract you to paint the updates for my boy! (my manny that is) Cuz I'll never be able to reap the upgrade bennies of my own stuff if I don't find someone else to do it I'll be stuck in 4 yrs past, whilst everyone else goes "What's up with Fettpride's display?"
Again, great worl man, seriously ! Are those Lee's colors? Perhaps it's the camera, but the yellow around the damage looks a bit too mustard?
Thanks for the compliments....
man I feel like a padawan being told by his master he did something good!!!
Lees colors except for the yellow..I used UP Armor yellow mix...maybe a little off...i might have to make some adjustments
me paint your stuff??....man that would be like Davinci asking somebody else to paint his house for him..HA HA
fettpride said:

"My young padawan"
thanks buddy

I need you to look at my yellow on the armor and tell me if it needs to be changed
FP pointed out it may be a little off...the flash made it a little brighter on the pics but FP may still be right on this. i have a feeling I am going to have to change it
Spideyfett said:
PM Sent
I am currently working on the shoulders..the biggest problem I am having is finding good pics of the left shoulder. I have the ref CD but it seems most of the pics the shoulder is covered up with the cape. if anybody has a good pic AOSW version I would love to see it

I am about 80% done with left shoulder

I will be working on my new FETTPRIDE cod and back plate next week and also I plan to finish my jet pack
Dang nice weathering and paint job. I smile in admiration!
I especially like the weathering job you did over the bantha skull!
Great looking armor DM.. You do your armor weathering like your doing your jp? Topical?
yep...everything topical
I decided that on my new Fett I would paint everything myself and do it 100% topical
I am still going to keep my MS bucket painted helmet by MS himself but I am also going to do a MS3 painted by me 100% topical
I have found that topical is so much easier than anything else I have done before and to be honest its coming out much better than I could have ever dreamed
Caomhanach said:
Topical is a nice way to go, you have a lot of control and if done right, you cant tell its not topical.
Cant wait to see the new pad DM!!!
Only 8 hrs? LOL! That great work in 8 hrs.
It took me way more than that and I am no where close to you. I am even using yours as a reference.
Still looking fantastic DM.
DarthMiller said:
Outstanding as usual bro!! What color is the silver? I am using Testors chrome silver. Once you wash it, it dulls it just enough.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Your gut is telling you something is not right, go with it. Have the test done so you can either look to start effective treatment, keep looking for other causes or accept that possibly your dog's body type is lean. Without the test you won't know any of the above.
I have had 2 dogs with EPI, neither had the same symptoms and some were not typical of EPI and others were classic. I can say that once diagnosed, treatment was relatively easy.
You are in a tough spot since finances are an issue. I would go talk with your vet on Monday and discuss your concerns. Maybe print this article on Antibiotic Responsive Diarrhea (ARD) for your vet to see if he thinks this could be a possibility? Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) in Dogs
I am trying to think what I would do in your situation.
I would want to know if he has EPI or not, so I would run the TLI test if nothing else. If it comes back positive you can go from there.
You can buy enzymes from Diane that would save you a lot of money. Enzyme Diane -
B12 injections you can do at home, much cheaper than at the vets. Once he is stable you can try the B12 pills to see if it keeps his levels up. They didn't work for Nikki so she gets a weekly injection.
B12 - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Read the page on SIBO from the EPI group below that should answer a lot of your questions. SID (SIBO) - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
If you did need to treat for SIBO with Tylan it seems to be cheaper online from KV Vet Supply, I pay $115 for a bottle at my vets. Tylan Soluble Powder - 100g | KV Supply
I hope this helps a little bit...wish I could do more
We would definitely do all three at once. That's the current plan. We haven't talked about SIBO at all, other than that we'd do all three tests at once. I'll definitely ask though. Im not sure if I have the right idea here, correct me if I'm wrong.... If he has EPI he will usually automatically test positive for SIBO and so we'd start treating for both? But it's possible for him to only test positive for SIBO and not have EPI? If that's the case we might as well do the tests.
I have been feeling like he would test positive but as soon as I made the appointment I started second guessing myself. I just know that I'm in no way shape or form made of money and if that panel of tests come back normal I don't know how much more testing we could afford to do. And I don't like to think about what that alternative could be.
Thanks for all the information and being so supportive. I've definitely needed it!
That's a tough one since none of use are veterinarians. I am not sure what else you can do without running some sort of test. There are many different GI issues dogs can suffer from. The EPI test would actually be one of the cheaper diagnostic tests compared to lets say a biopsy.
In the past when Nikki had unexplained diarrhea our vet runs this RealPCR diarrhea panel but that's not cheap, I think we paid around $160. IDEXX Announces RealPCR Canine and Feline Diarrhea Panels
Has your vet ever mentioned SIBO at all? Relative IgA deficiency and small intestinal bac... [Res Vet Sci. 1991] - PubMed - NCBI
Low B12 can cause lethargy and other issues. Cobalamin: Diagnostic use and therapeutic considerations - Texas A&M Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences
I would just talk to your vet, I have no idea if he is willing to treat him for EPI without running the TLI test. If you do decide to test him for EPI I would also run the Cobalamin/Folate at the same time. Sorry I wish I had better news for you
Maybe you guys here can help with my decision....
I went ahead and scheduled the blood test for Monday morning but now I'm slightly hesitant just because of the price tag. Obviously I want to know for sure what it is but there's always that nagging feeling that it could be something else and it would be wasted money.
What would you do, knowing what I've said about Tego? My biggest concern is his activity level, or lack there of. My vet said that is completely out of the ordinary. He doesn't run and play like a normal puppy. He'll bound around after the big dogs for a couple of minutes then he's done and comes back to lay at my feet and nap. If I throw a ball too far, over 15-20 feet, he'll trot a couple steps and then stop and watch it roll away and come back to me. But when he was on steroids he would bound and pounce after it until he got it.
Also, I think his situation is slightly different in that he's a growing puppy, or at least trying to grow. I can't mark any weight loss because he is developig, albeit slowly. Is there anything else I should look into before making the plunge on the test? He's been checked for worms and dewormed just in case, checked out negative for giardia... and honestly I'm not sure what else would be a possibility.
What would you do? I'm sorry, I just need a sounding board!
Here is a post from the EPI group that describes how a person with EPI feels, I thought you might like to read it. When Nikki had surgery last year I spoke to the vet tech taking care of her and she also has EPI. She told me it was extremely painful, these dogs really suffer a lot
Topic: MY RECENT STAY IN HOSPITAL WITH AN EPI PERSON - EPI * Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
I hope you get it all figured out soon!
|Harry and Lola
That makes me so happy to hear.
It is wonderful forums like this and the epi4dogs website can help people and their suffering dogs find a solution to medical issues as well as get people thinking and talking about similar experiences.
Good luck with your EPI management, it is not too difficult at all and your GSD will finally start to feel much better with replacement enzymes - imagine eating all the time but feeling like you are starving to death at the same time.

The people on the EPI group have already been wonderful! I'm so grateful to have been able to spend some time searching it today. If I hadn't, I probably wouldn't have gone to my vet today and gotten the answers that I did. It's still not conclusive but we're headed in that direction!

|We went to the vet this afternoon and the vet started him on treatment for EPI. He got a b12 shot and will start enzymes with dinner here shortly. We didn't do the blood test since we didn't go until late and Tego had eaten already. So we're going to see how the next week goes and then do the test. He said if I start seeing any improvement that will pretty much tell us it's EPI. We're just going to see how it goes. Thanks for the input, and the other forum that was suggested has been extremely helpful. Now it'll be a bit of a waiting game.

Dr. William Sturtevant ('Bill') Sargent II, a professor at the University of St. Thomas Cameron School of Business for more than 20 years, died on Friday, June 20, 2011 after suffering a traumatic head injury from a fall at his home in The Woodlands, Texas.
A memorial service will be held at 4 p.m., Friday, August 26, at the Chapel of St. Basil, 3802 Yoakum. A reception following the service will be held at the Ahern Room located in the Crooker Center , 3909 Graustark.
Sargent was born in Mount Pleasant, Michigan on May 22, 1942, to William Sturtevant ('Bill Sr.') Sargent and Nancy Chase Fuller. He is preceded in death by his father, Bill Sr., his mother, Nancy, and his sister, Ann Merrill Sargent Gibson. His family moved to Houston in the 1950's and he graduated from Lamar High School.
Sargent went on to Texas A&M University where he received a Bachelor of Business Administration in 1964. He subsequently received a Master in Business Administration at Miami University in Ohio and a doctorate at Ohio State University. He moved back to Texas in 1975, and lived in The Woodlands until he died.
Prior to joining the Cameron School of Business faculty in 1987 as an associate professor, Sargent taught at Stephen F. Austin State University, the University of Houston, Ohio State University and Miami University. He retired in 2008. He is survived by two sons, William Sturtevant ('Will') Sargent III and Mark Dixon Sargent, and his brother, Deane Fuller Sargent. Additional family include Will's wife, Kymm Johnson Sargent, Deane's wife, Cora Janet Sargent, brother-in-law, Albert Sheridan Gibson, nephews James Andrew Sargent (wife Tiffany), Clint S Gibson (wife Shauna), Lucas William Gibson (wife Tiffany), and nieces Elizabeth Ann Sargent and Laura Ann Gibson Podach (husband Josh). Sargent married Carol Jean Eging in 1967. They were divorced in 1982.
Sargent touched the lives of many students as he taught introductory courses in marketing, sales management, and statistics, as well as retail management, market research marketing strategies and consumer economics. He also served as Faculty Senate Secretary and on many campus committees. He co-founded with Dr. Anne David the Students in Free Enterprise team.
His dry wit has enlivened many classrooms and meetings on campus. Dr. Anne Davis worked with Sargent in the Marketing Department for 15 years.
"Everyone will smile when they think of Bill and his irreverent sense of humor, but he will always be admired for his many years of service as secretary to the faculty senate, mentor to the SIFE team, and advisor to his marketing students," Davis said.
He was an active member of the Grogan's Mill Village Association, serving as an elected member of the Village Association Board, in addition to being a committee member and event volunteer. Bill was elected the first President of the Grogan's Mill Village Association shortly after moving to The Woodlands in 1975.
Family will commemorate Sargent's service to the university with an engraved plaque. In lieu of flowers, gifts will support student scholarships. Checks should be made out to University of St. Thomas (Memo: Bill Sargent Scholarship Funds) and mailed to the Office of Institutional Advancement, 3800 Montrose Blvd. Houston, TX 77006.

text: The only "effect" it had was getting Saunders to take Wallace out of the game. It was not successful at any point in ANY game in getting MIA a win whereas they would have lost had they not hacked Ben. As a matter of fact, no team has won a game where they used that strategy to try to get the ball back. Hell, Dunleavy invented the damn strategy and HE's never won a game trying to do it. Doc Rivers tried it relentlessly against us, when we had Ben, and failed repeatedly. Dozens of teams have tried it against Shaq every season and lose every time they try it. As far as I'm concerned, even if all you "odds" people found a game in which it worked...the "odds," as you like them, are far and away NOT in favor of using this strategy as it results if far more losses than wins (if any).

Brian Trainor spent 15 years in the corporate communications and performance improvement industries before starting a career in education. This enables him to bring a "real world" perspective to the high school learning environment, where he teaches design theory, brand/logo design, traditional illustration, digital photography, and design for print. He maintains educational licenses in Marketing Education, Design and Visual Communications, Assistant Principal/Principal, and Vocational/Technical Superintendent.
Trainor serves as the cochair of the committee responsible for the Massachusetts Design and Visual Communications (DVC) curriculum framework, the required guide for all DVC teachers in the state. In 2008, he created a series of professional development workshops that address their unique needs. The DVC workshops focus on the combined skills reflected in the curriculum framework and the Adobe Certified Associate learning objectives. They enable teachers to share best-practices experiences and lesson plans and have resulted in high success rates for students who take the Adobe Certified Associate exams for Visual Communications and Rich Media.
The DVC workshops led to the creation of a recognition event for Massachusetts DVC students. The DVC Honors Night, developed in partnership with Adobe, will provide creative high school students throughout the state with a venue to showcase their talents and technical skills once a year at Adobe's facility in Waltham, Massachusetts.

The editors of PUBLIC WORKS thank the 1,254 readers who completed our online survey, and congratulate the 10 who were randomly selected to receive $25 gift cards.
You'd been paying more for less medical coverage and fewer benefits for at least two years when the economy took the biggest dive since the Great Depression, adding wage and promotion freezes to the list of casualties from cities, counties, and states struggling to balance their budgets.
Anomaly or not, more respondents to our annual survey of wages and benefits are experiencing more pay and pension cuts, furloughs, and reduced benefits than ever.
A National League of Cities survey of finance officers early last year warned that conditions were only going to get worse. But the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 brought hope by designating almost $200 billion to public works. So in addition to asking how the economy is affecting your operation, this year we wanted to find out if the stimulus package is saving jobs and salaries.
We'll get to that in a minute.
First, have we hit bottom?
We query readers for this exclusive editorial package every January. Last year at that time, 70% of respondents said their city, county, or state had enacted budget cuts. This year that percentage increased to 80%. The amount of people reporting layoffs almost doubled, jumping from 17% to 29%. And at 8%, reported cuts in pension benefits are nearly triple last year's 3%.
And while 16% of last year's respondents said benefits had been cut, this year 27% say the same.
The percentage of participants who received neither a raise nor a promotion jumped from roughly one-third to a little more than half. Thirteen percent — more than double last year's rate — have had their pay cut. More than a quarter have been required to take unpaid days off compared to 8% a year earlier. Additionally, one-quarter are getting less overtime pay.
More than half (56%) don't anticipate a pay increase over the coming year, and a little less than a quarter (24%) expect a 1% to 3% increase. Last year, the percentages were 38% and 43%, respectively.
Quite a few commented that the anticipated wage increase doesn't cover the effects of inflation. Many didn't receive a cost-of-living allowance last year to help compensate and don't expect one this year, either. (For a breakdown of median salaries by title and department, see the charts on this page.)
"When your pay stays the same and everything else goes up, how can you keep doing this time after time?" questions a Midwestern municipal inspector, who has taken on a part-time job to make ends meet. Plus, he says, "healthcare continues to climb; we pay more and get less."
Another thought that keeps respondents wary: there seems to be no end in sight.
Says a public works director in the Great Lakes region, "A one-year pay freeze is understandable and acceptable. The concern is if it goes into multiple years. Municipal revenue is down and the future is unsure."
Nonunion employees are often the first to feel the pain as unions such as the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees work to hold the line on members' compensation packages. Survey comments from managers/supervisors (who make up the majority of respondents at 24%) suggest that wage and benefits packages of non-union management are hit hardest. But unionized respondents indicate that time has run out for everyone.
In the Northwest, one water/waste-water/stormwater technician facing monthly furloughs and a pending pay cut doesn't believe her union is doing enough, while a highways, streets, roads, bridges foreman is waiting to see what benefits he'll lose since his union is currently in contract talks.
Although the commercial building sector is showing slight signs of growth, property values are still low. Expect to face fiscal constraints for at least two more years, warns Elizabeth K. Keller, president and CEO of the Center for State and Local Government Excellence. Human resource managers provide more detail on how public agencies are belt-tightening in the sidebar in the slideshow.
Recovery conundrum: more work, fewer workers
As usual, the involvement of the federal government in state and local infrastructure affairs has been a mixed blessing.
Although the one-time windfall from the stimulus package accelerated some scheduled projects, many operations lucky enough to be approved for funding were short-staffed and are now scrambling to meet the legislation's requirements with fewer personnel resources. Twenty-one percent of respondents attribute increased workloads — by creating more administrative work in applying for funding, for example, or by bringing in more projects without adding positions — to the legislation.
When asked what impact the package has had on departments, most respondents (66%) say there's been none. That said, though, 5% report that it staved off additional layoffs, 3% used it to ward off position cuts, and 2% actually created positions.
On a more hopeful note, a water/waste-water/stormwater manager in the Southwest, who has yet to see stimulus monies reach his department, expects the funding lag to change in the future. This may well be true. As of press time, fewer than a dozen states had obligated all of their money, but the rest were expected to do so by the March 2 "use-it-or-lose-it" deadline.
Benefit blowback
More than half (56%) of respondents are paying higher insurance premiums and more out-of-pocket costs this year. Several mentioned they're also receiving less coverage than in the past.
Nevertheless, more than half (53%) feel that their benefits are better than those offered to colleagues working in the private sector, while an additional 22% say they're comparable. Only 14% feel that private-industry benefits are more competitive than their own.
Additionally, nearly 7 of every 10 respondents are somewhat (36%) to very (33%) satisfied with their benefits packages, and more than a third (39%) say they will stay in their jobs because of those benefits. When asked how benefits impact job satisfaction, 15% say they don't. Overall, a little more than half (51%) say they have better benefits than most and enjoy their jobs.
In a time when, as a West Coast survey participant reminds us, we're lucky to have work, job satisfaction and a still-decent benefits package just may lessen the sting of doing more with less while living on frozen wages.
Cutting into the bone
Trimming expenses doesn't necessarily save money.
The Center for State and Local Government Excellence recently asked human resources managers what their employers were doing to balance expenses with dwindling tax revenues during the economic downturn. More than three-quarters of respondents reported that hiring freezes had been enacted, and more than 60% reported pay freezes.
A little more than 40% had lain off employees, while 30% had ordered furloughs. When asked if the unpaid time off achieved the level of savings public officials had estimated, 61% of respondents said yes and 39% said no.
Twenty-one percent also reported changes to retirement plans, while half said healthcare plans had been reconfigured:
Increased employee contributions (69%)
- Added number of years required to vest (25%)
- Added wellness programs, 24-hour nurse lines, or onsite clinics (25%)
- Reduced benefits (23%)
- Tiered benefits (15%)
- Decreased employer contributions (10%)
The online survey was conducted among members of the International Public Management Association for Human Resources and the National Association of State Personnel Executives from November through December 2009; 396 members participated. For more information, visit www.slg.com.
The benefits package
Based on PUBLIC WORKS' 2010 Salary & Benefits Survey, those entering the public works profession can expect to see:
Paid holidays (96% of respondents are offered this option by employers)
- Paid vacation days (95%)
- Health insurance/benefits (95%)
- Sick leave (92%)
The majority of respondents also receive:
Dental insurance (82%)
- Life insurance (79%)
- Pension plan (76%)
- 401(k), 403(b), 457(k), or other savings plan (72%)
And more than half of those surveyed receive:
Paid training — CEUs/PDHs, other (64%)
- Accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance (61%)
- Disability leave (61%)
- Vision insurance (60%)
- Flexible spending accounts (59%))
- Paid professional registration/association memberships (56%
- Tuition reimbursement (52%)
- Cell or other phone allowance (51%)
Yet less than half of those surveyed receive:
Compensation time (43%)
- Retirement health insurance (35%)
- Company car or car allowance (31%)
- Overtime pay (29%)
- Training/certification incentives (26%)
- Flexible scheduling/work hours or telecom-muting (25%)
- Fitness room onsite or support toward private fitness club (23%)
- Monetary bonuses (9%)

University of Delaware Mens Lacrosse Aims to Extend Win Streak, Heads to Hofstra for CAA Opener Saturday
Related Links
The game will begin at 3 p.m. at Shuart Stadium. Links to live stats and video are available on the University of Delaware athletics website www.bluehens.com on the men's lacrosse schedule page.
Delaware (5-2) enters the game riding a four-game win streak, including a thrilling 10-9 win at Binghamton last Saturday when the Hens scored the game-winner on a goal by Brian Kormondy with just one second left. The win streak is the longest for the Hens since the NCAA Tournament season when the Hens won five straight late in the season.
The Blue Hens earned votes in this week's Warrior Media Top 20 poll and in the Lacrosse Magazine Top 20 poll.
Hofstra (3-2) has also put together a nice win streak as the Pride enters having won three straight games, including wins of 9-7 over Fairfield, 9-8 over Georgetown in overtime, and most recently 7-5 over Ohio State. All five of Hofstra's games this season have been decided by two goals or less. The Pride is also earning votes in the USILA Media Top 20 poll and is ranked No. 17 by Lacrosse Magazine and No. 18 by Warrior.
Delaware is led offensively by Kormondy (10 goals) and freshman Logan Aunon (10 goals) and defensively by James Connelly and goalkeeper Conor Peaks (7.71 GAA, .603 save percentage). Junior Tyler Barbarich leads the country in faceoffs, winning 69.5 percent of his draws, and ranks 24th in groundballs with 6.2 per game. Peaks ranks No. 7 nationally in save percentage.
As a team, Delaware ranks No. 3 in faceoffs, No. 5 in man-down defense (.800), and No. 11 in scoring defense (8.00 goals allowed per game).
Hofstra is led by Sam Llnares (10 goals and 10 assists) and Torin Varn (seven goals) while goalkeeper Chris Selva has allowed 8.50 goals per game and posted a .517 save percentage. The Pride rank No. 10 in turnovers (12.8 per game) and No. 18 in scoring defense (8.60 goals allowed per game).
Delaware is looking to snap a two-game losing streak to Hofstra, including a 10-5 setback last year at Delaware Stadium and a 13-5 loss at Hofstra in 2012. The Hens swept the Pride in 2011, winning 7-6 at home and 10-9 in the CAA semifinals.

Hi all,
I was wondering do we have a thread showing all the variants of Boba Fett with pictures?
There are loads of different types to Boba Fett, not just the films.
Thought with the vast knowledge in this forum. Thought it would be good to show to new members what Boba Fett they wish to do.
I know there are the Pre-Pro's 1-3, Special Edition, A New Hope SE, Empire Strikes Back, Return of The Jedi and Return of the Jedi SE, (think thats all of them).

Inspired by Rotoreliefs of the unique film by Marcel Duchamp, "Anémic Cinéma", 1926. Half-container, semi-spheres nested, as they are vertical totems, like iris. Far from the "Uncanny Valley", they become familiar. They watch us and we seem to place on us an eye tracker, "le Regard de la Nature." Ready to make us "round eyes", as masters comforting. And to welcome us in the palm of their eye-belly, we aspire to in a movement like Alice falling in the hollow of the tree, going on a journey salutary.

Choose Your Plastic Surgeon Carefully
Remember, any licensed physician is legally allowed to advertise as a "cosmetic" surgeon, even if he or she has no formal surgical training. Your body is nothing to take chances with, so avoid the risk. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon from this list is your assurance that your doctor has the highest quality training and advanced surgical skills.
ABPS Certification and ASAPS Membership Matters
The ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the specialty of plastic surgery. Following medical school, ABPS-certified plastic surgeons must have completed a minimum of 5 years of surgical training, including an accredited plastic surgery residency program. Members of ASAPS must be in at least their third year of active practice following ABPS certification.

Accuracy will suffer. Buckshot does not do well in a rifled barrel either. If you shoot the shells the barrel is designed for you will be pleased with that 1100. Slug barrels are usually cylinder but you can shoot full choke if that's all you have. For more research check out shotgunworld.com. Best site around for shotgunners.

Concord arts center recognized with 'championship' award
By DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader | July 18. 2013 8:53PM
CCA was selected as a Champion in Action by Citizens Bank, an honor that carries much more than just a title for the winners. Only nonprofit organizations are eligible for the award, which includes a $35,000 grant from the Citizens Bank Foundation.
"I've always wanted to be on this side of one of these," Clarke quipped during the formal announcement at the Kimball House, the stately mansion on South Main Street that houses the arts center's administrative offices.
"I cannot accept this award without stopping to acknowledge the people who make up our championship team," Clarke said. "Starting with the founders and early volunteers — those amazing individuals who believed you could make a vibrant performing arts center out of a derelict theater and a historic mansion and convincing the community to go along on the journey."
Those two qualities have been essential in creating and developing the arts center since it opened in 1995, bringing back to life the former Capitol Theater six years after the once-grand venue closed in 1989.
Gov. Maggie Hassan also attended the event, congratulating CCA for the recognition it has earned.
The remarks were all kept brief, then the formal part of the event ended with a preview of this weekend's production of "The Little Mermaid Jr.," a production of one of CCA's youth programs.
"Experiencing it live — there's nothing better. We really try to promote that," Clarke said.

Clinical research in humans and animals has demonstrated that GPC (l-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) helps support higher brain function, mental acuity, and the release of human growth hormone. GPC is a precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and the membrane constituent phosphatidylcholine. Research suggests that it is more bioavailable than other forms of choline for the maintenance of learning and memory.
Suggested Use: 2 capsules twice daily for the first 4 weeks, thereafter 1 capsule twice daily.
Other Ingredients: gelatin (capsule), cellulose, magnesium stearate, and colloidal silicon dioxide.
Contains soy.

By Rob Kelly
Carl Jenkinson believes he has matured a great deal since making his Premier League debut against Liverpool in August.
The 20-year-old full back played the full 90 minutes against Kenny Dalglish's men as the 10-man Gunners were beaten 2-0 at Emirates Stadium.
Jenkinson has since gone on to establish himself as an important squad member and he admits that the past six months have changed him.
"I feel like I have matured a lot on the football field," he told Arsenal Player. "As a young player it is only natural to feel that the more minutes you get under your belt, the more you will adapt and show what you can do.
"That game at home to Liverpool seems like a long time ago now. It was a disappointing day all around.
"It was a game I didn't think we deserved to lose. I am as hungry as anybody to make sure we turn the tables at their place. I am really looking forward to Saturday and getting out there at Anfield."
Jenkinson grew up as a passionate Arsenal fan and he says he is relishing the chance to play at a ground that holds a lot of significance for the Club.
"Anfield is known around the world for its fans and I am sure it is going to be a fantastic stadium to play in," he said.
"It is a very traditional stadium with a lot of history to it and Arsenal have a lot of good memories there, like winning the title in 1989. It will be fantastic for me to get out there and play."
Watch the full interview with Carl on Arsenal Player.

Vikings set deadline for training camp site
Many NFL teams are facing upcoming deadlines in regarding where their training camp sites will be held due to the ongoing lockout. Some have them in their practice facility, but many have them offsite at nearby colleges.
The Minnesota Vikings released a statement Wednesday discussing the deadline to have their camp at Minnesota State University.
"The Minnesota Vikings continue preparations for hosting the team's 2011 training camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato. In respect to the University and the Mankato community, we have informed school officials that July 18 is the latest date to officially determine whether having training camp at Minnesota State University this year is feasible. The Vikings will maintain contact with University officials moving forward, and we remain hopeful we will practice in front of thousands of Vikings fans in Mankato later this summer."

Email - Office365 Frequently Asked Questions
Email - Office365 Frequently Asked Questions
Jump to: General FAQ Inactive Student Opt-In FAQ Email Upgrade FAQ
General FAQ
- What is a HuskyID?
A student HuskyID is your full email address, i.e. email@example.com. Please check the HuskyID Account and Password information page for full details. Please note that HuskyIDs become inactive after approximately 8-9 months after a student last attends at which time a student loses all access to Bloomsburg University systems and their student HuskyID account is deleted. However, there is a 1 month opt-in period where a student can request to keep their email account. A student that opts in will have their email account converted to an alumni Office365 account, and their username and email address will change to @alumni.bloomu.edu, though they still retain past and future messages addressed to @huskies.bloomu.edu. Separately, all inactive students, whether they opt-in to keep their email account or not, have the ability to activate a MyHusky Alumni Account at https://www.bloomu.edu/myhusky/alumni.
- How do I change my HuskyID password?
There are two supported ways to change your HuskyID password:
- Using a web browser from anywhere you have Internet access, go to https://reset.bloomu.edu/ and select Change Password.
- Change your password from a lab computer on campus that you are logged in to, by pressing Control+ALT+Delete and selecting Change Password.
- Where can I get specific help about the email system including setting up an Exchange account in Outlook, POP or IMAP in any other email application, or setting up access to your account on your mobile phone?
Click on either the "Mobile Device Email Config" or "Email Software Config" link on the right or go directly to http://www.bloomu.edu/technology/student/email/config
- What address do I go to in my web browser to use my email account on the web?
- What web browsers are recommended to connect to my email account on the web?
While any modern web browser should work at this point, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox are the recommended browsers for PC and Apple Safari or Mozilla Firefox are the recommended browsers for Mac. Past problems have been seen when using Google Chrome, so it has been left off our recommended list.
- I can view my email on the web, but why won't it let me send email from my account?
This has been seen when students/alumni attempt to send email through their email account on the web when using either Google Chrome or Internet Explorer with an outdated Skype plugin. It is recommended that you update, uninstall, or disable the Skype plugin or just use Mozilla Firefox instead.
- Can I also access Office through my Office365 email account?
Yes, Bloomsburg University is currently also able to provide the following Office options for students:
- Office Web Apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote) and OneDrive, a cloud storage solution, both of which can be accessed through the App Drawer in the upper left corner of your student email account webmail. For more information and a walkthrough for accessing these for the first time, please see the Introduction to Office365 Office Web Apps and OneDrive.
- Microsoft Office Pro Plus software installations to students free of charge for personal use on up to five devices. This software can be downloaded from the software section of Office 365 app settings located on the gear menu in the upper right corner of your student email account webmail. Microsoft Office ProPlus Installation and Activation walkthrough: PC | Mac
- I received an email claiming I need to respond to confirm my account to receive additional disk space, to upgrade my account, or to prevent my account termination. Is this a legitimate message and should I reply with my password or click a link to confirm or validate my account on a web form?
NO! Please be aware Bloomsburg University technology support will never ask you for your password or other confidential information through email. There have been malicious phishing emails that look legitimate coming from off campus telling you to reply with your password to receive additional disk space, to upgrade your account, or to prevent your account termination. These emails did not come from Bloomsburg University and you should never respond to them. Please keep this in mind and never send a password through email. Phishing spammers will attempt to use your account to send out spam to millions of recipients. Please don't give them your password. If you are ever not sure, please contact the Bloomsburg University Technology Help Desk at 570-389-4357. If the phishers succeed and use your account to send out spam, people all over the world will receive spam that says it's coming from you. This will result in many replies and non delivery reports (bounces from email addresses that reject the spam due to spam content or due to "User Unknown") coming in to your account. Ultimately it will also put our student email servers on spam blacklists and it will be hard for other students to get legitimate messages through to legitimate outside email addresses because other email servers will stop trusting our email servers. This is a very serious matter - be sure to never give your password out. If you have received a questionable message, please forward the entire message as an attachment to email@example.com. BU Technology staff can then look at the headers and use the information to protect other students that will try replying to the message in the future. Please check our Phishing information page for more information.
- Why am I receiving hundreds or thousands of replies or Non-Delivery-Reports to messages I never sent that look like they were spam?
You have likely responded to a malicious phishing email and given your password to spammers who are using your account to send out spam. If your account has already been compromised, the very first thing you should do is change your password (do so at https://reset.bloomu.edu/) so the spammers no longer have access to your account. After you change your password, you may still receive many Non-Delivery-Reports and replies for up to about 3 days. Also please report the incident to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to never, ever set your password back to the one that was compromised so there is no chance the spammers can use your account again. Last but not least, spread the word that you should never give your password out in response to an email no matter how legitimate it looks. Please check our Phishing information page for more information.
Inactive Student Opt-In FAQ
- How do I opt-in?
Assuming your HuskyID is inactive and scheduled for deletion (you are notified via email 1 month in advance), you can find the opt-in button link on the Alumni Email Information page. Prior to clicking the button, you will need to check off the checkbox confirming that you have read and understand the "Inactive Student Opt-In Process" section. Once authenticated through HuskyID Single Sign-On (SSO) we know who you are and you have the ability to complete the opt-in process on the page your are taken to. Be sure to document your one-time password and effective date that is provided to you after successfully opting-in. You will not be able to retrieve your one-time password after your effective date because you will no longer have the ability to sign on through SSO.
- Why won't my one-time password work to log on to my brand new alumni email account?
Please understand that you will not be able to use your one-time password until the effective date given when you opted-in. This is the same day that your HuskyID is removed from all other systems. It is at that time when your Office365 account is converted from a student account to an alumni account. It is not converted immediately when you opt-in and therefore not ready for immediate logon.
Additionally, if you've previously used your browser to access a non-BU Microsoft account, your browser may remember the non-BU username and only prompt you for a password. Since it's not asking you for your BU password, the one-time password will not work. In this case, you will need to click on "+ Use another account" to specify your new alumni.bloomu.edu username and then your one-time password will work as expected.
- What time is my account going to be converted on the effective date?
Unfortunately we can't pinpoint an exact time for you. The process begins at 5AM but depending on the number of accounts that need to be processed on the given day, the process could take an extended period of time. Rest assured, you will not lose access to your account while you are waiting. Up until the moment your account is converted, you will still be able to log on through the "Log on as Student (@huskies.bloomu.edu)" link using your @huskies.bloomu.edu username and the same password you've been using. As soon as your individual account conversion is processed, you will then be able to log on through the "Log on as Alumni (@alumni.bloomu.edu)" link using your @alumni.bloomu.edu username and your one-time password.
- What if I forgot my one-time alumni email account password or the effective date?
Prior to your scheduled deletion date, if you go to the Alumni Email Information page and Opt-In again, you will be able to retrieve your one-time password and your effective date. If your account is already deleted and therefore you cannot sign in to the opt-in page, but you previously opted-in, please contact the technology helpdesk at 570-389-4357.
- During my first logon to my newly converted alumni account, which password do I use where?
This is a page where you are forced to change your password. During the conversion process we set your account password to the one-time password, so "Old Password" refers to your one-time password. "New Password" and "Confirm new password" is where you type in the new password of your choice. It must be a strong password as determined by Microsoft's "Password Strength" bar. After you click successfully click "Save", the new password you entered is the password for your alumni account and you no longer need to remember or retain documentation of your one-time password. You are taken to a page that says "Please re-enter your password". This is the first time you use that new password of your choice and signing in with it will take you to your mailbox on the web.
- Why did my email account on my mobile device or email software stop working after the conversion process?
Since your username changed from @huskies.bloomu.edu to @alumni.bloomu.edu, you have to change the configuration of your device or software and update the username. In some cases, in order to update the username, you may be required to remove the account completely and re-add the account. Instructions for configuring your account can be found at http://www.bloomu.edu/technology/student/email/config and remember to specify your username and email address as @alumni.bloomu.edu.
- Why do I need to opt-in and why can't I just use my previous password to log on the first time?
Because of changes Microsoft implemented when they upgraded Live @ EDU to Office365, students could no longer continue using their password once the account was converted to alumni, so we needed a mechanism to provide a new password that would work with alumni accounts once converted. The opt-in process gives us the ability to provide a one-time password. At the same time, most accounts that were converted to alumni accounts in the past are sitting in the system unused and dormant. By initiating an opt-in process 1 month prior to deletion, this gives us the opportunity to only keep accounts which are actually requested to remain in the system and provide a password securely by requiring the inactive student to sign in to HuskyID Single Sign-On while their HuskyID credentials still work.
- What happens if I re-enroll at BU after I have opted-in and have been converted to @alumni.bloomu.edu?
Your account will be automatically converted back to @huskies.bloomu.edu the business day after you pay your deposit (undergrad) or are scheduled in a class (grad). This means you will have to once again use the "Log on as Student (@huskies.bloomu.edu)" logon link and use your @huskies.bloomu.edu username. Your password will be set back to an initial password that has been communicated to you as your Applicant HuskyID Password (undergrad) or has been provided through the grad office (grad). If you do not know the password, you can reset it immediately by using the HuskyID Password Reset page at https://reset.bloomu.edu/. Also, you get to keep all the email already in your mailbox and future email addressed to your @alumni.bloomu.edu address still comes to the account.
Email Upgrade 6/10/13 FAQ
- What do I need to know about the student/alumni email system upgrade that finished 6/10/13?
Please check the Live @ EDU Upgrade to Office365 page for details on how the upgrade affected you.
- Am I using the correct login page to get to my email account on the web?
Always use http://mail.huskies.bloomu.edu/ or links found on the BU website to get to the student/alumni email login page. We have control of this address and will make sure it is always going to the correct place for login. If you find other addresses that work, please know that they are subject to change. For instance, outlook.com, hotmail.com, live.com may have used to work, but they do not work now. If you find similar addresses that work to get you to the current office365 login page, it is subject to change in the future. Always use http://mail.huskies.bloomu.edu/ or click on email system links found on the BU website.
- What should the login page look like?
Students should be seeing the HuskyID Single Sign-On login page (image). Alumni should be seeing a login page branded as Office 365 (image). If you are receiving a page branded as Outlook (image), this is not the correct page and you should not attempt to log in to it.
- Why am I receiving the error message "You're currently signed in with an Office 365 email account, which can't be used with Outlook.com. Please click here to sign out of your Office 365 account" when I try to access my email account?
This message comes up if you've logged in to an incorrect web page address such as outlook.com (or perhaps an outdated bookmark) during your current web browser session. If you receive that particular error, you should indeed click that outlook/live sign out link and then if you go back to the correct login page at http://mail.huskies.bloomu.edu/, you will find that the Student/Alumni logon links direct you to the proper login page that will get you right into your mailbox after successful authentication. Remember, if you are considered an alumni account (see below for help to know for sure), you must use email@example.com to log in successfully. Always use http://mail.huskies.bloomu.edu/ to access your email account. This is the only web page address we've ever given out and has always been linked from the BU website.
- Why does it seem like my browser is not directing me to the correct login page or consistently get an error message when I try to log in to HuskyID Single Sign-On?
In rare cases, you may need to try one of the following to resolve or work around the issue:
- Close all web browser windows and start a new browser session. If your browser is set to restore the previous session upon startup, you will need to change that option in your browser options so you truly start a new browser session.
- Clear your browser's cache/history, cookies, and/or active logons.
- Try using an alternative browser, such as Firefox if you were using Internet Explorer (PC) or Apple Safari (Mac).
- Try starting the private mode of the browser to obtain a new session to check if it works in a new session.
Once you try one of the above recommendations, you should go directly to http://mail.huskies.bloomu.edu/ and try to log in again to see if your issue has been resolved or worked around.
- Is my account considered to be Student or Alumni?
Please check the bottom of the login page at http://mail.huskies.bloomu.edu/ where figuring out if you are considered a student or alumni for the purpose of your technology account is described in detail, which will affect how you log in to your Office365 email account.
- I have what is considered an alumni account and I decided to re-enroll at BU and now I can't access my email account. What do I need to know?
Once you re-enroll and can no longer log in through the alumni page, this is because your account was converted back to what is considered a Student account. No worries, you get to keep all the email already in your mailbox and future email addressed to your @alumni.bloomu.edu address still comes to the account. You will now need to log in through the student logon link, and you now need to use your default HuskyID password. This was sent to you (it is your Applicant HuskyID Password), but if you don't have the password and want to gain immediate access to your account, you can reset your HuskyID password by going to https://reset.bloomu.edu/.
- I am a student and I am getting to the HuskyID Single Sign-On Page as I should be, but why isn't the password I used successfully to access my email before the upgrade not working anymore?
If for some reason your Live @ EDU student email password (Windows Live account) was not in sync with your HuskyID password, be aware that the HuskyID Single Sign-On page requires you to use your HuskyID password, which is the password that logs you in to all campus systems. If you don't know your current HuskyID password, go to https://reset.bloomu.edu/ to reset your forgotten password.
- I'm having trouble accessing my SkyDrive, what do I need to know?
Students/Alumni that had an active HuskyID account between 5/13/09 and 6/08/13 received a Windows Live account and a SkyDrive. They should be able to access their SkyDrive by going to https://skydrive.live.com/. Remember, to log in you must use your Windows Live account rather than your HuskyID account, and these accounts became separate accounts on 6/8/13. Alumni need to remember that their username for their Windows Live ID is still email@example.com. The Windows Live ID passwords for both students and alumni are still set as the password that was used to access their Live @ EDU email account (and therefore, their Windows Live account password) at the time of upgrade on 6/8/13. Students should understand that changing their HuskyID password after 6/8/13 has not changed their Windows Live ID account password and therefore has not changed the password used to access SkyDrive. Likewise, Alumni should understand that changing their Office365 password after 6/8/13 has not changed their Windows Live ID account password and therefore has not changed the password used to access SkyDrive. Beginning 6/8/13, the Windows Live ID is a completely separate account from a HuskyID and student password changes do not sync to the Microsoft Live system. The reason you still use your HuskyID password to log into Office 365 is because it's configured to use what is called Federation so you authenticate locally at BU using HuskyID Single Sign-On and this allows access to your email account without the need to technically sync a password to Microsoft.
- Prior to the upgrade from Live @ EDU to Office 365, there were links at the top of my mailbox that I used to use and now I'm not sure where those pages are located, can you provide the link addresses?
