2.) IT Password Policy change coming
Do you realize most people use names, personal info or easy keyboard combinations for passwords? Do you use “cards” or “louisville in your university password? Hackers feast on easily discovered info to gain access to secure data. Information Technology is taking improved measures this fall to prevent password theft with new guidelines for changing a password. Beginning October 9, a new policy will go into effect for creating stronger passwords that work across all university systems.

“Mr. Jefferson and the Giant Moose: Natural History Early in America” involves Thomas Jefferson, Count and naturalist George-Louis Leclerc Buffon, and a large, dead moose. Jefferson obsessed over this moose to help quash French arrogance that claimed that life in America was degenerate, weak and feeble. Jefferson showed that the fledgling America republic was equal to well-established Europe. Natural history took on political overtones. Supported by Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society.
