MESSAGE FROM TSS
Re; PREPARE FOR DST (DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME) CHANGES
In August 2005, the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act, which changes the start and end of DST as observed in the United States. As a result, DST will start three weeks earlier on March 11, 2007, and end one week later on Nov. 4, 2007.

This will affect your calendar items created before updating the DST setting on your computer.Calendar items created after updating DST setting on your computer should be fine. TSS has updated DST settings on all computers running Windows recently. There is no need to update DST setting on your computer running Windows manually. However, calendar items on this extended DST period are not automatically updated. Individual calendar owners are the only ones who can validate that calendars are correct or  not. To minimize confusion during the DST shift, follow these simple steps:

1. Open your calendar and check all meetings scheduled between March 11, 2007 and March 31, 2007, and between October 28, 2007 and November 3, 2007.
2. You have to reschedule single calendar items if the meeting time is not correct.
3. If they are recurring appointments, you will have to delete them and recreate them if the meeting time is not correct. They will then adjust according to the new DST settings.
4. When organizing a meeting invitation during the extended DST period (4 weeks), type the correct meeting time in the subject line or body of the message - not necessary but recommended because your guest's computer may not be updated with new DST setting.
5. If your department has check-out laptop computers contact TSS (Ext.5872). Manual DST adjustment on those laptops may be required.
6. Information for MAC computers will be posted later.

little as 10 minutes, and we will keep the exercise open until February
3rd (although sooner is better).

ROBBIE FULKS COUNTRY MUSIC PERFORMANCE
Saturday, February 17, 7:30pm, Shoreline Campus Theater/1600 Building
Robbie Fulks country music performance. Robbie Fulks still writes songs that make you think and feel and sometimes laugh out loud, while most current country recordings seem calculated to serve as inoffensive background music. He's back with a new album Georgia Hard, aimed at country fans that wondered where their music went. Eighty years ago, when country music was first recorded, it was rude, funny, soulful and political. Robbie Fulks takes us back to those forgotten values and reintroduces us to the literacy and warped humor of songwriters like Shel Silverstein, Bob McDill and Roger Miller. i.z@mastersofbeat.com
