Message-ID: Whitman College Technology Services will be hosting a three week filmmakers bootcamp, June 14th through July 1st, 1999. The camp will focus on shooting and editing films through hands on experience with video editing technology including Avid Cinema. This is a good opportunity for technology staff and others to get some great hands on experience producing and editing video tape. If your institution has Multimedia Specialists or other staff, faculty or students who might be interested in receiving more information about the bootcamp, please send me their names and mailing addresses and I will mail out posters and brochures. Information can also be found at www.whitman.edu/filmmakers/ I have also included a copy of a press release below. Thanks Rich Hinz Director, User Services ************************************************************************ SECOND FILMMAKERS BOOT CAMP AT WHITMAN COLLEGE Whitman College hosts its second digital film production program this summer. It will run from Monday, June 14 through Thursday, July 1. The Filmmakers Boot Camp teaches basic filmmaking skills in a unique "immersion" technique, and this year it will be expanded to handle more students in an even more intimate learning environment. Applications should be accompanied by a short screenplay (2 pages or less) or a prose treatment (up to 1 page) for a film. The deadline for submissions is May 14. As Executive Producer, Jeffrey Townsend will work with a team of facilitators, who will serve as Producers in the program, from Whitman College Technology Services (WCTS). The Producers will support and coach the participants, working in groups of four to six and guiding them through all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production on their projects. Townsend will provide lectures and on-set advice, as well as editing tips. There will be an evening film series on weeknights during the program, covering Hollywood classics and neglected gems, from silent films to the present. The film series will include an informal discussion after each film. Negotiations are under way to secure a commitment from a major film producer to speak on the final night of the Boot Camp and meet privately with participants. All three of the Whitman seniors who attended last year's program moved to Los Angeles after completing the program and have been working in the movie business. The director of the summer program, Jeffrey Townsend, is the director of the award-winning PBS drama, 'Landscape With Waitress,' and an Emmy-winning writer of Nickelodeon's 'Rugrats.' He is also the production designer of more than a dozen feature films, including 'Sleepless In Seattle,' 'The Fabulous Baker Boys,' Martin Scorsese's 'After Hours,' and many others. Townsend is currently the Director of Custom Services for Coffey Communications, Inc., in Walla Walla. Want to know more?

From krupicka at pacificu.edu Thu Apr 29 08:10:53 1999 From: krupicka at pacificu.edu (Ted Krupicka) Date: Fri Jul 16 16:34:36 2004 Subject: Area Code changes Message-ID: Hi all, I have been asked to check with my peers at other institutions to see if anyone has found areas of concerns about the Oregon PUC's decision to overlay a new area code here in the 503 region. Have any of you found major areas of concerns for data or voice systems on your campuses? -Ted Krupicka ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 16:32:39 -0700 Subject: Adverse PUC Decision --------------------------------------------------------------------- As you may have heard, the Telephone Company is running out of phone numbers within the Portland area (503 area code) and needs to implement a new area code. At least two methods, as described below, were discussed to implement the new area code. The Public Utility Commission (PUC) voted on April 20, 1999 to implement the SECOND method below effective July 11, 1999: 1. Replacement Method -- the existing area code is replaced by a new area code for a specific geographic area and the area remains a "7-digit" dialing area. This method is the one generally used when implementing a new area code. 2. Overlay Method -- changes every 7-digit number within the 503 Portland area to a 10-digit number by requiring the area code to be included when dialing a phone number. As new phone numbers are issued in the Portland area, the new numbers are issued the new area code. The Portland area becomes a "10-digit area" comprised of two area codes. To place a call within the area, ALL 10 digits must be used for EACH call. This method is more costly to implement and live with. EVERY phone line within the Portland area is affected. Some negative effects of the PUC decision are: · Each phone call will require 10 digits. · Every phone book, directory, phone list, brochure, flyer, business card, etc., must have all 10 digits printed for each phone number. · Home phone and extra lines within the same home could have different area codes. · Phone lines within a business or organization could have different area codes. · Every computer modem, speed dial phone, voice response systems, etc., will need to be changed to dial the 10-digit number. · The field size for displaying phone numbers in phone books, directories, phone lists, etc., may need to be expanded to show the 10-digit number. · The field size for displaying phone numbers on computer screens, etc., may need to be expanded to display the 10-digit number. · Takes more time to dial, input, write down, and speak 10 digits than 7 digits. What can you do to change the PUC decision? Please contact the PUC immediately at 1-800-522-2404 to register a complaint and request an appeal to change the decision to the Replacement Method. Also, forward this information to appropriate individuals and ask them to contact the PUC, too, to register a complaint and request an appeal. Once the PUC decision is "written up", we have only 35 days to register complaints and request an appeal to overturn their decision. Since the decision has been made, it should be written up soon and then the 35-day time period will begin. Thanks for your help and support. ******************************************************** Bill Ray, Assistant Vice President for Financial Affairs Pacific University 2043 College Way, Forest Grove, OR 97116 E-mail: raywb@pacificu.edu Web: http://nellie.pacificu.edu/finance/ Office: (503) 359-2786 Fax: (503) 359-2250 From bnelson at willamette.edu Tue Apr 6 09:17:36 1999 From: bnelson at willamette.edu (Bill Nelson) Date: Thu Oct 5 10:00:21 2006 Subject: online registration Message-ID: Greetings wise NW-HEATers, My administrators have asked me to come up with a plan to implement on-line, real-time self registration for students to register for courses.

Could someone pass me the info on this news feed. The link that Raney posted is the one I was going to pass on. PLU is the school currently using this mechanism. So far, we have been very pleased although we have relatively low utilization of Usenet currently. Feel free to call if you have any questions or want any additional information. > I'd also like a list of the attendees if possible. I exchanged some > cards but didn't get everyone's. This would be helpful for me as well. Maybe this could be posted on the NW-HEAT site? David P.

Hinz) Date: Thu Oct 5 10:00:21 2006 Subject: Whitman College Hosting Filmmakers Bootcamp... Message-ID: Whitman College Technology Services will be hosting a three week filmmakers bootcamp, June 14th through July 1st, 1999. The camp will focus on shooting and editing films through hands on experience with video editing technology including Avid Cinema. This is a good opportunity for technology staff and others to get some great hands on experience producing and editing video tape. If your institution has Multimedia Specialists or other staff, faculty or students who might be interested in receiving more information about the bootcamp, please send me their names and mailing addresses and I will mail out posters and brochures. Information can also be found at www.whitman.edu/filmmakers/ I have also included a copy of a press release below. Thanks Rich Hinz Director, User Services ************************************************************************ SECOND FILMMAKERS BOOT CAMP AT WHITMAN COLLEGE Whitman College hosts its second digital film production program this summer. It will run from Monday, June 14 through Thursday, July 1. The Filmmakers Boot Camp teaches basic filmmaking skills in a unique "immersion" technique, and this year it will be expanded to handle more students in an even more intimate learning environment. Applications should be accompanied by a short screenplay (2 pages or less) or a prose treatment (up to 1 page) for a film. The deadline for submissions is May 14. As Executive Producer, Jeffrey Townsend will work with a team of facilitators, who will serve as Producers in the program, from Whitman College Technology Services (WCTS). The Producers will support and coach the participants, working in groups of four to six and guiding them through all aspects of pre-production, production and post-production on their projects. Townsend will provide lectures and on-set advice, as well as editing tips. There will be an evening film series on weeknights during the program, covering Hollywood classics and neglected gems, from silent films to the present. The film series will include an informal discussion after each film. Negotiations are under way to secure a commitment from a major film producer to speak on the final night of the Boot Camp and meet privately with participants. All three of the Whitman seniors who attended last year's program moved to Los Angeles after completing the program and have been working in the movie business. The director of the summer program, Jeffrey Townsend, is the director of the award-winning PBS drama, 'Landscape With Waitress,' and an Emmy-winning writer of Nickelodeon's 'Rugrats.' He is also the production designer of more than a dozen feature films, including 'Sleepless In Seattle,' 'The Fabulous Baker Boys,' Martin Scorsese's 'After Hours,' and many others. Townsend is currently the Director of Custom Services for Coffey Communications, Inc., in Walla Walla. Want to know more?

From krupicka at pacificu.edu Thu Apr 29 08:10:53 1999 From: krupicka at pacificu.edu (Ted Krupicka) Date: Thu Oct 5 10:00:21 2006 Subject: Area Code changes Message-ID: Hi all, I have been asked to check with my peers at other institutions to see if anyone has found areas of concerns about the Oregon PUC's decision to overlay a new area code here in the 503 region. Have any of you found major areas of concerns for data or voice systems on your campuses? -Ted Krupicka ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 16:32:39 -0700 Subject: Adverse PUC Decision --------------------------------------------------------------------- As you may have heard, the Telephone Company is running out of phone numbers within the Portland area (503 area code) and needs to implement a new area code. At least two methods, as described below, were discussed to implement the new area code. The Public Utility Commission (PUC) voted on April 20, 1999 to implement the SECOND method below effective July 11, 1999: 1. Replacement Method -- the existing area code is replaced by a new area code for a specific geographic area and the area remains a "7-digit" dialing area. This method is the one generally used when implementing a new area code. 2. Overlay Method -- changes every 7-digit number within the 503 Portland area to a 10-digit number by requiring the area code to be included when dialing a phone number. As new phone numbers are issued in the Portland area, the new numbers are issued the new area code. The Portland area becomes a "10-digit area" comprised of two area codes. To place a call within the area, ALL 10 digits must be used for EACH call. This method is more costly to implement and live with. EVERY phone line within the Portland area is affected. Some negative effects of the PUC decision are: · Each phone call will require 10 digits. · Every phone book, directory, phone list, brochure, flyer, business card, etc., must have all 10 digits printed for each phone number. · Home phone and extra lines within the same home could have different area codes. · Phone lines within a business or organization could have different area codes. · Every computer modem, speed dial phone, voice response systems, etc., will need to be changed to dial the 10-digit number. · The field size for displaying phone numbers in phone books, directories, phone lists, etc., may need to be expanded to show the 10-digit number. · The field size for displaying phone numbers on computer screens, etc., may need to be expanded to display the 10-digit number. · Takes more time to dial, input, write down, and speak 10 digits than 7 digits. What can you do to change the PUC decision? Please contact the PUC immediately at 1-800-522-2404 to register a complaint and request an appeal to change the decision to the Replacement Method. Also, forward this information to appropriate individuals and ask them to contact the PUC, too, to register a complaint and request an appeal. Once the PUC decision is "written up", we have only 35 days to register complaints and request an appeal to overturn their decision. Since the decision has been made, it should be written up soon and then the 35-day time period will begin. Thanks for your help and support. ******************************************************** Bill Ray, Assistant Vice President for Financial Affairs Pacific University 2043 College Way, Forest Grove, OR 97116 E-mail: raywb@pacificu.edu Web: http://nellie.pacificu.edu/finance/ Office: (503) 359-2786 Fax: (503) 359-2250
