The Word of Beer meeting turned out to be extremely enjoyable. We were joined by USF Sarasota-Manatee’s rowing club members.

WOB  has an interesting arrangement with restaurants near by. They do not server food. If you want to eat there, you have to place a phone order with Casa D Pizza or Pita Republic. A small tip for future visitors: If you ever order from Casa D Pizza, never order the buffalo chicken wings. I placed an order last night at 7:00 p.m. Fifty minutes later a delivery girl shows up with my cold wings wanting full price for them. No way I was going to pay for late wings. What a bummer!

Just to clarify, this does not have anything to do with WOB. They were great!

We had a great time at the Bonefish Restaurant.

Thanks to all that made it out, and we missed all who could not make it, see you at the next one!

Not many students know about the many wonderful technology offerings at USF.  Today I would like to focus on one of them. I am referring to the USF Application Portal. The portal offers many applications published via a Citrix server. All of these are made possible by the “Student Technology Fee.”

Navigate with your favorite web browser to http://apps.usf.edu . You will need your netID in order to register. Follow the “Enroll” link to register.

Sign in and agree to the terms of use. You will receive a confirmation page.

After registering, go back to the main page and follow the sign-in link. You will then be presented with the portal’s sign-in window.

Enter your netID and password. The next screen will show all the applications available via the portal.

These folders are jam pack with many useful applications. In particular the Adobe CS4 and Adobe CS5 folders.

In here you will find applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, and much more.

Good luck!

Dear Members,

We deeply regret to inform you Dr. Lodwig’s husband, John, passed away on June 28th. The funeral will be held tomorrow in Illinois. Our group will be sending her flowers or donations to a charity when we learn which one is preferred. Jessica Daniels, our treasurer, will be sending an email next week for those who want to contribute.

If you would like to send a private condolence, you can do so at the website of Farley Funeral Home in Venice or send a card to them and they will forward it to her. Farley Funeral Home will be holding a memorial service for friends and family in Florida once a date is determined.

I will send out another email when our group has sent flowers/donations to charity. If you would like to contact me, please feel free to do so.

Best,
Ana
