How Do I Keep Up-to-Date With This Issue and Your Site?

We make this as simple as possible. There are two primary ways:

First, sign up for our notices. We have broken them down into various categories so that you have control over what kinds of notices you wish to receive. In order to receive these, you first must register with our site. After registering, you may select your notices. Click here to learn about those.

Second, through the use of RSS feeds.

 
How Do I Use the RSS Feeds on Your Site?

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time in two ways. First, by not needing to visit each site individually. Second, because a new entry in your RSS reader will show up only when there is a change in content. So, you no longer need to visit a site and look around for new content. If new content exists, you will know through your RSS reader, because you have a new entry.

How to Retrieve Your Password

Click on the menu Register/Logon on the top menu on the right.

At the logon module, you will find a link called "Forgot Logon". Click it.

Though we have configured the site so that you can log on with your email address, which people remember more easily, the system still requires a "user name". If you have forgotten your password and you do not know your user name, you must retrieve your user name first. After that, your password.

In each case, just type in the information, and the system will email you the information.

We encourage you to change your password to something easier to remember. Here is how you do it:

After logging in and clicking on the Register/Logon menu, you will see the User Menu on the left. Click Your Profile. Once there, click Edit and Update your profile. There you will be able to put in a new, more memorable password for future logins.
