MINUTE WRITING WORKSHOP:

you to be an especially skilled writer. If you have difficulty distinguishing
between a colon, semicolon and ellipse, attend this 10-minute training

ENERGY SAVINGS: A typical
PC CPU uses between 40 and 150 watts of power. In addition to the monitor,
which uses 75-100 watts a laser printer uses 50 watts. With the number
of PCs on campus, UNI could save as much as $50,000/year in utility
costs assuming half the University is not following the conservation
practices listed at the link below. http://www.uni.edu/its/us/faqs/PCenergytips.htm

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU
CARE ABOUT! We see them nearly every day, e-mails with headlines
like that telling stories just begging to be passed on. The vast majority,
however, are hoaxes and urban legends. Passing them on to your friends
and relatives clogs the Internet and e-mail servers. Before sending
them on and contrib - uting to the problem, please check the site below
for reputable resources to verify or debunk the stories.
