Listening to XM Deep Tracks this morning at work, GTM introduced this group as being well known because GE Smith (of SNL fame) played for them. They evidently do a good job doing covering other bands hits.
My lovely alma mater has screwed me. I received this e-mail yesterday. Someone's inept management of a server has resulted in the exposure of personal information for over a year. A Year!!! This amounts to criminal negiligence. This will impact the universities ability to raise funds for many years.
Alumni and friends are among Ohio University's greatest assets and our most valued constituents. Because of this, it is with regret that I inform you that Ohio University recently became aware of a system compromise that occurred on a computer system housing alumni and giving data.
The compromised system contained biographical information for more than 300,000 individuals and organizations, including the Social Security Numbers of more than 137,000 individuals. The data did not include credit card or bank information.
The record associated with the e-mail address to which this message was sent does contain a Social Security Number.
The breach dates to March 1, 2005 or prior but was not discovered until April 24, 2006. We know that during this period intruders had control of the system and uploaded and downloaded large quantities of data. Most importantly, the FBI currently is conducting an investigation.
We have created a Web site to answer questions you may have regarding this incident (visit www.ohio.edu and follow the link to our data theft Website). We also have designated a special, toll-free phone number (800.901.2303). Local callers may call 740.566.7448. We are happy to assist callers; however, to protect you, Ohio University will not give out personal information to individuals who call these numbers.

In response to this attack, Ohio University is taking every precaution to protect the data on its live servers, including hiring an outside consultant to perform a comprehensive risk assessment of our entire environment to ensure that such a breach does not happen again.
As you may have seen in recent news headlines, computer intruders have targeted servers at several colleges and universities across the United States. The University of Texas at Austin, the University of Connecticut, Stanford University, Boston College, Iowa State University, California State University: all have experienced security breaches during the past 12 months.
Ohio University deeply regrets this breach of our data security. If you have concerns about your personal information, we will be happy to help you. Again, please contact us (800.901.2303) if you have any questions or concerns.
Cordially,
Molly Mayo Tampke

Jeff Lynne with the Move band before he formed ELO performs the classic "Do Ya" commonly associated with ELO. The original has a different guitar sound with an added set of percussion.
An interesting article on Macedonia as it relates to Bulgaria. I've not had a chance to read the remainder of the articles on the web site but it looks interesting.
Dad sent this interesting link. A 'secular' woman is really going at it - challenging how the Muslim faith operates. The snippet challenges both my preconceived notions regarding uniformity of thought amongst the Muslims but also the idea that if you challenge the faith you are killed. This woman must have some courage.
Listening to XM's Fine Tuning station today (a guilty pleasure™) and I heard my first piece of ethnic music on the service. Because of my background - I love the discordant melodies. Sadly, I can't understand a single word of it - but I love it nevertheless. I've purchased the CD box set off of Amazon for Dad.
A nice instrumental with familiar themes from some of their more popular songs.
During a work related Christmas party one of the participants talked at length about underwater hockey. He was earnest about it and after some effort I finally accepted that there was such a thing. But I have found since then that if I try and repeat that conversation to others I am not taken seriously. They think I'm spinning a yarn and because I haven't seen it myself I have a hard time contesting the notion that I've been duped.
After a very quick Google search that there is such a thing. There is no end to the different ways we can find to compete.
