==== Dans Guardian ==== I have heard several complaints about dans guardian. I tried to get to CNN.com or deseretnews.com and all of the pictures are broken. I think that it really slows down access to everything too. Do we need this in the department when the university does filtering? You cannot access the following Web address: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/TECH/science/02/19/saving.right.whales/art.whalewatch.woman.cnn.jpg Reason: Banned Regular Expression URL found. We are using our own filtering that is separate from OIT's filtering. We have the freedom to set our own policy.
