Using the Internet Safely and Wisely

The Internet has really expanded our op ons for researching, communica ng, sharing, shopping, and storing informa on. It gives us open access to informa on about people, places, and things. For be er or worse, this open access can be a two-way street and allow others access to you and your personal informa on. As you access, or post, things on the Internet, you could be exposing informa on about yourself to those that seek to do harm. Whether you are downloading things from the Internet or just pos ng informa on, the poten al for nega ve consequences is ever present. How can you best protect yourself from the dark side and s ll take advantage of all the good things on the Internet? An ‐Virus An -Virus so ware will protect you from many of the common threats that try to install things on your computer as you surf the web or read your email. Once this so ware is installed, it will con nually keep upda ng itself to try and keep up with all the new threats that turn up every day. All University owned computers already have an -virus so ware installed on them. To install it on your personal computers, you can buy this

so ware from many sources, both local and on the web. If you don’t have the cash to purchase it now, there are free versions that are available online. To read about these free versions, check out h p:// www.pcmag.com/ar cle2/0,2817,2388652,00.asp An virus so ware provides good protec on, but it does not catch everything. So, don’t get a false sense of security just because you have this so ware running on your computer. Emails Many bad things can get at you through your emails. Do NOT click on links or open a achments in suspicious emails, even if the email appears to be from someone you know. The bad guys like to hijack your friends’ address book and send emails like they are someone you know. If you click on links or open a achments in these emails, this can allow viruses to install themselves. One of the worst types of virus that you can get in this manner is one that encrypts your personal files so you can’t read or view them. If this happens to you and you want to recover the files, you will have to pay a ransom to them for a key to unlock the files or recover the files from a backup which was taken previously. To protect yourself from iden ty the , do not send personal or confiden al informa on in emails. This includes informa on about yourself as well as others. Birthdate, social security numbers, username/ passwords, or credit card numbers are very dangerous to send. Always, assume that the bad guys can see everything you send through email. If you get an email asking you for personal or account informa on, do not respond. Legi mate companies that might need this informa on will not ask for it in an email. Also, be alert and concerned about the possible consequence of the wrong person reading what you send in an email.

TU TECH CONTINUED Backups One way to protect your data is to backup it up to a safe place off of your computer. Even if you are very careful and have every protec on in place, there is s ll the possibility that something bad will get on your computer. If it does you will need to clean the bad stuff off of your computer. You may need outside help to do this. For University owned equipment, the Help Desk can do this for you. Also, for Tiffin students, faculty, and staff, ITS does offer Fix-It Fridays where you can bring in your PC and we can help clean up your computer. If things are bad enough, there may be no choice other than dele ng everything on your computer and star ng over. This may include dele ng all personal files. If you have your personal file and pictures backed up, these can be restored back a er the computer is rebuilt. If you don’t have a backup, you will probably be out of luck. It is well worth your me to at least buy a cheap USB thumb drive and copy your personal files to it periodically. Keep it stored in a safe place, not connected to your computer. If the worst happens to your computer, you should be able to restore your files from this thumb drive a er the computer is cleaned up. There is no foolproof way to protect yourself and your computer as you do things on the Internet. The things men oned above can increase your survival odds and help you recover if you do get hit. Overall, the best defense is to be alert and suspicious. Always remember the Internet is open to the world and assume that the world is watching everything you do on the Internet.

Dr. Lu Edits Textbook

Tif in University Professor Dr. Fang‐ Mei Law will present her research paper entitled “Hope, Thinking and Coping: Factors Affecting the Ability to Cope with Temptation among Substance-Involved Female Inmates in Taiwan” at the 2015 Academy of Criminal Justice Science Annual Meeting, March 3 -7 in Orlando, Florida.

TU Professor of Philosophy and Chi‐ na Program Coordinator, Dr. Zhaolu Lu has edited the textbook entitled Practical Moral Problems: An Introduc‐ tion to Ethics published by Linus Publications. This textbook introduces students to ethics through a critical examination of various moral problems present in contemporary society and involved in various professions from the perspectives of different ethical theories. The book is divided into eight parts, each dealing with one distinct topic involving practical moral problems including: World Poverty, Abortion, Euthanasia, Human Cloning, Legal Punishment, Distant People, Gender Equality, and Af irmative Action. Dr. Lu joined TU in 2000 after having taught in China, Canada and Massachusetts. He has become instrumental in the development of programs between TU and Beijing Normal University that recruits their students and faculty members. To purchase the book visit: http://linusbooks.com/? wpsc-product=practical-moral-problems-anintroduction-to-ethics. For any other information, contact Dr. Lu at luz@tif in.edu. Brad Rees, music department director, has been in demand as a guest conductor, clinician, adjudicator and presenter throughout the spring 2015 semester. In January, he conducted the Louisville Chamber Choir as they provided the background vocals for rocker Ben Folds' performance with the Louisville Orchestra. This was the ifth time Rees has been part of Folds' orchestral performances, having sung background vocals for the Pittsburgh, Indianapolis and Columbus Symphony concerts. The Louisville show was the irst time he was invited to serve as con-

This study aims to examine the impact such factors would have on the temptation-coping ability of female drug offenders in Taiwan. In the presentation, Dr. Law will introduce the theoretical framework and indings of the study and discussion of policy implications. “Temptation-coping refers to the responses with which people react when they encounter temptation for substance usage.” Dr. Law remarked. “The results of this study point to the value that strengthening knowledge of the recovery process, positive thinking, emotion regulation, and hope has in increasing ability in temptation-coping to open the pathway toward recovery.” Dr. Law’s co-author and co-presenter of this study was Dr. Gwo-Jen Guo of the National Changhua University of Education in Taiwan.

In February, Rees served as a presenter and presider for the Ohio Music Education Association's Annual State Conference, leading a session designed to help music teachers effectively use sound reinforcement and recording technology in the classroom, and presiding over vocal jazz and contemporary a cappella performances. In March, Rees will serve as guest conductor for the Putnam County Honors Choir, a select ensemble of the top students from nine Ohio high schools. In March, he will also serve as adjudicator for two choir competitions in Ohio and Indiana.

Sports News Track and field Tiffin University completed a banner weekend at the GLIAC Indoor Track and Field Championships held at Saginaw Valley State University, rallying throughout day two to finish 2nd on the men's side while finishing 4th in the women's bracket. Grand Valley State won the men's side with 155 points but the Dragons finished in 2nd with 107 points for their best finish ever, edging out Findlay with 102 points. On the women's side, the Lakers had 156.5 points while Ashland was next with 107, Hillsdale was 3rd with 86, and TU was 4th with 76.5. TU's excellent showing was reflected in the Championship Awards, where Lamar Hargrove was named Running Athlete of the Year, Running Athlete of the Meet, and High Point Athlete of the Meet. Hargrove won his second consecutive GLIAC championship in the 60 meters and the 200 meters. His 6.70 time in the 60 shattered the GLIAC record and was an NCAA automatic qualifying number. His 20.93 time in the 200 also broke the National Division II record and the GLIAC record and gave him another AQ to Nationals. To top it off, he teamed with Michael King, Joel Johnson, and Reginald Mortel to obliterate the GLIAC record in the 4x400, setting the fastest time in the nation so far this season and earning another NCAA automatic mark in 3:10.90. TU wasn't done winning postseason awards; however, as Theo Mancheron was named Field Athlete of the Meet after winning the pole vault championship with a provisional mark

of 5.10 and also winning the heptathlon title with a GLIAC record and NCAA automatic mark of 5300 points.

With the men's highest finish ever at the GLIAC Championships, Head Coach Jeremy Croy was also named GLIAC Men's Indoor Coach of the Year. TU had an amazing showing in the 60 meters, where they placed five of the top 8 finishers. Reginald Thomas was 3rd with a provisional mark of 6.85, while Stephon Goodwin was 4th, David Hatchett was 6th, and Omar Lane was 8th. In the 200, Lane was also 3rd with a provisional mark of 21.72. Joel Johnson was 2nd in the 400 with a provisional time of 47.93, while Reginald Mortel was 6th. Dragan Pesic was 3rd with another provisional mark of 4867 points. Kevin Roberts was 4th in the triple jump (provisional mark of 14.84), Carlton Watkins was 6th in the high jump, and TU got two more provisional marks from Jay Feuerstein (9th in shot put with 16.47) and Davion Bowers (12th in shot with 16.31).

Baseball It was a tight game until Rockhurst University scored seven late runs for the 9-3 victory over the Dragons on Sunday at E.S. Rose Park - Nashville, TN. Larson got it done on the hill for Rockhurst, going the distance on the way to a win. He allowed three runs, struck out 11, walked one, and gave up 12 hits. Rockhurst University's Jones, Baker and Stacks combined for four hits and five RBIs. Wyatt Myers was charged with the loss. He lasted just 1 2/3 innings, walked none, struck out none, and allowed one run.

Sports News continued to left center field and a double down the left field line plated a pair of runs in the 4th, and a bouncing ball through the right side of the infield in the 5th, pushed the Illinois-Springfield lead to 4 -0. The Dragons had no problem putting runners on base, out hitting IllinoisSpringfield 8 to 4, but finding that timely hit plagued them, as they stranded a total of seven runners. But in the 7th inning they found their stride. Garret Vernau pushed the first Dragon run to the plate on a fielder's choice. With runners at every base, Alex Hartley laced a ball into left field, scoring two more runs to pull the Dragons within a run, at 4-3. Steven Gonzalez came on in relief of Ward, and pitched outstandingly. Gonzalez threw 5 shutout innings, not allowing a hit, and struck out 3. The Prairie Stars' staff held Tiffin in check in the final two innings, leading to a 4-3 Dragon loss. Brady Ward took the loss on the mound for the Dragons. At the plate, Alex Hartley, Cody Spires, and Noah Heard each collected two hits, and Hartley knocked in two runs. The Dragons fall to 1-3, and will be back in action this Friday, March 6th, in Kentucky to tangle with the Bellarmine University Knights.

The Dragons darted out of the box in game one, scoring on a Jena King rocket into left field to give them a 1-0 lead early. The runs just kept coming, as in the 2nd inning the Dragons plated another run on a Cassandra Brown double to deep left center field. Brevard tied the game with two runs in the 3rd, but the Dragons continued to rattle the bats, pushing across two runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning on a Delaney Mixer single to right field. This pushed the Dragon lead to 4-2. The score remained this way until Mixer stepped to the plate in the 5th inning, and again she delivered, rifling a single to right field to plate the final Dragon run.

Madison Yanek, Delaney Mixer, and Kailee Flowers all collected 2 hits for the Dragons, and Tiffin struggled to get the hits when it counted, stranding 8 runners on base. Mixer ended the day 4 for 6 with 2 RBI's. The Dragons are 1-3 overall and will be back in action March 8th, in Florida on their spring trip.

Wrestling

Early in the game, the iron was unkind to the Dragons. Tiffin's shooting percentage sank to as low as 12.5%, but on the other side of the floor, the Panthers were capitalizing on TU turnovers. ODU had 39 points in the 1st half, 12 coming from turnovers, and 14 came in the paint. Ohio Dominican finished the half shooting 46.4%, but the Dragons were able to catch fire and closed the gap quickly. At the 10:18 mark in the 1st half, the Panthers held a 20-4 lead, but Tiffin never gave up, outscoring ODU 31-19 the rest of the half. The Dragons used a Kaylee Patton layup to cut their deficit to two points, but the Panthers rattled off 10 straight points to create some separation. The Ohio Dominican lead stayed at nine or more points for the majority of the half. That all changed at the five minute mark, as the Dragons went on an 8-0 run to get within two points. ODU was able to regroup and sank a jumper to lead by four, but the Dragons did not go down without a fight.

Tiffin University had an exciting finish at the Midwest Regionals, advancing four grapplers to NCAA Nationals while finishing 5th of 14 teams overall. But the highlight on the day had to be the Dragons' first ever Regional Championship, won by Garrett Gray at 285 pounds. Gray dominated the heavyweight division, posting another pin in 3:40 in his semifinal match before winning the title 6-4 over Shorter College.
