Triathlon set for Saturday
The Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, NC Jaycees and Set-Up, Inc. are sponsoring the Duke Blue Devil, an iron distance triathlon that will include a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. The race will start Saturday at Beaverdam Recreation Area at Falls Lake at 7 a.m. and finish on the Chapel Quadrangle. A finish-line party on Main West Campus will begin at 3 p.m. and continue until midnight.
Middle East expert
to speak
Joel Beinin, a professor of Middle East history at Stanford University, the current president of the Middle East Association of North America and a member of the editorial committee for the Middle East Report magazine, will speak on campus Sept. 18 at a time and place to be announced. The internationally-respected scholar has titled his talk "The Israel-Palestine Dilemma: Why the Oslo Peace Process Failed."
Edens lots opened
Off-campus, Central Campus and East Campus residents with parking permits will have card access to the Edens B and C lots for the weekends, beginning today at 7 p.m. Cars must be moved by midnight Sunday or they will be ticketed. West Campus residents with Blue Zone permits do not have access to the lots.
E-mail encryption
access changes
Beginning Sunday, all e-mail processed via acpub accounts must use encrypted access mechanisms, which help protect NetIDs and passwords from being stolen. Because most e-mail clients already support encrypted access technology, compliance with the new policy will mostly be a matter of changing settings in e-mail clients. Duke community members can view instructions at www.oit.duke.edu/helpdesk/email. Duke acpub mail users with their own e-mail clients may need to reconfigure their clients' settings to use encrypted access. Freshmen and others using the latest version of the University-provided e-mail client Mulberry should not need to change settings because this client has been pre-configured for encrypted access by default.
