Release Notes 

• Added the Campus Events RSS feed to provide a 3-day view of the Campus Events from the Ohio University Front Door.
• Added The Post Twitter feed.
• Added the Alden Library Twitter feed.
• Added the Library's Video Help feed.
• Added the Provost's Blog RSS feed.
• Added the Ohio University Bobcat Athletics Twitter feed.
• Added the City of Athens Twitter feed.
• Changed the link to PeopleSoft to be deeper within the Student Center.
• Improved the Blackboard portlets to tolerate when the Blackboard service does not respond. We are still working on the Blackboard portlets, so you probably cannot yet use them.
• Fixed the "Perferences" typo in the News Reader Portlet. We cannot believe other people did not see the beauty of this alternative spelling.
• Fixed a JavaScript error that Internet Explorer users might have noticed. (script.parentNode is null or not an object)
• Removed the redundant Home link from the top of the interface.
• Fixed a missing image problem in the default skin.
• Moved the portal to a /portal multi-level context to support the Identity Management project's single sign-on efforts.
• Implemented a DB server check utility that will keep the portal from coming up before the database services are available. In a race, the portal always comes up before the database, leaving the portal in a lonely, quivering, and unresponsive state.
• Changed 'Username' to 'OHIO ID' on login forms.
• Changed PeopleSoft URL.
