Protecting all that data at the Uni- versity is an important job, one that falls in part to Matt Bing and Maria Sheler- Edwards, specialists at Information Technology Security Services. They've shared several tips to keep your computer safe and your data out of the wrong hands. QUOTES OF THE WEEK CC Mr. President, you exhibit all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator" - LEE BOLLINGER to Iranian presi- dent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when the leader spoke at Columbia "Jesus said heaven is a place for people of all nations. So if you don't like Clarkston, you won't like heaven" - PHIL KITCHIN, a reverend of Clarkston Interna- tional Bible Church, on how immigrants to the area have changed the town. If you don't need it, delete it. Question whether or not you really need to store Social Secu- rity numbers or bank details on your computer. If it's not there, it's not there for anyone else to find. One of the common myths is that Macintoshes are somehow inherently more secure, and that's just not the case. The threat is still there.-You still have to choose a good password. You still should still install anti-virus software. On places like Facebook and MySpace, we recommend that students think twice before they post personal information, especially addresses and cell phone numbers. It could putyou at risk if someone wanted to profile or target you. Make sure you have good backups. You can just copy your data to your AFS space or to a flash drive. Back up anything you'd miss if it was deleted, like school documents, for example. TALKING POINTS Three things you can talk about this week: 1. Protesting monks in Myanmar 2.

The answer - throw a party at the Big House. After University students raised money to fly a Ron Paul banner over the Notre Dame game, they docu- mented the fervent Paul support of maize and blue clad Michigan fans en route to the stadium. The pro-Paul cameramen gar- ner a remarkable number of yells, high fives and "Yeh-haw"s in favor of the Texas congressman. A lot of people seem to genuinely supporta Paul candidacy. He is winning The Michigan Daily's very unofficial poll for reader's favorite Republi- can candidate. Take a look, you're likely to see at least a classroom acquaintance. You know that super liberal hippy guy from the dorms? You might be surprised to see he's a Ron Paul supporter now. Actually, you might be surprised to see that you are a Ron Paul supporter now. - JESSICA VOSGERCHIAN See this and other YouTube videos of the week at youtube.com/user/michigandaily Pick a good password that's a reasonably complicated mix of numbers and letters, and don't put it on a post-it note. Use different passwords for different resources, with one for e-mail, one for bank- ing and so on. F Phishing e-mails are usually attempts to steal your username, password or PIN number. If you get an e-mail with alink or an attach- ment from someone you don't recognize, delete it. No legitimate business is going to ask you for personal information via e-mail. Use anti-virus and automatic- update software on both Windows and Mac computers. Updates ensure that the latest security patches are downloaded and installed to your computer.

TheStatement@umich.edu WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE OF THE WEEK "Thomas More Law Center" The Thomas More Law Center is a conservative Christian, not-for- profit law center based in Ann Arbor, Michigan and active through- out the United States. Its stated goals are defending the religious freedom of Christians], restoring "time honored values" and protect- ing the sanctity of human life. Its motto is "The Sword and the Shield for People of Faith." The center characterizes itself as "Christianity's answer to the ACLU". The center says its lawyers maintain "the highest moral and ethical standards of our Christian faith and our legal profession." The center considers its work "ministry" and states it was inspired by what it calls a "cultural war being waged across America" against "Christians and their faith." The center is most widely known for its loss of the Dover, Pennsylvania intelligent design case, and its strong pro-life litigation. The Center is named after Thomas More, the 16th century Lord Chancellor whose decision to refuse to accept King Henry VIII's claim to be the supreme head of the Church of England ended his political career and led to his execution as a traitor. Thomas More is also the patron saint of lawyers in the Roman Catholic Church. The Center was founded in 1999 by Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino's Pizza, and Richard Thompson, the former prosecutor known for his role in the prosecution of Jack Kevorkian and who now serves as the center's President and Chief Counsel.
