A customer called this morning to ask if there is an easy way to import items into your Outlook calendar. My response was, "Sure. Are you trying to add holidays?", to which she responded, "Uh, Yea." Apparently, many don't know that you can display national holidays in Outlook with a few mouse clicks. Here's how you do it:

1. On the tools menu, click Options and then choose Calendar Options.
2. Under Calendar Options, choose Add Holidays.
3. In the window that appears, select the appropriate countries and choose ok.

If you are still using Outlook 2003, and you still don't see holidays in your calendar, check this article for instructions for updating your holiday schedule: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/924423

Once we got that straightend out, she quickly added "That's great, but isn't there a way that I can add the football shcedules for the Saints and LSU." She was pleased to know that there's a better solution than typing in all of that information. For the benefit of Saints and Tiger fans everywhere, here's two links to downloadable schedules:

Interactive Information Systems was selected in late 2004 to develop and deploy the Web Based Juvenile Offender Information Network (JOIN) for the State of Louisiana. This system is actually several components of a much larger Information System referred to as the Integrated Juvenile Justice Information System (IJJIS). The JOIN Data Exchange Interface may eventually become the foundation for other IJJIS components. The goals of the IJJIS-JOIN project are as follows:To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the processing of delinquency, traffic, and formal FINS cases by juvenile justice agencies at the local level through automated data sharing and case management.To provide management information for statewide reporting, coordination, strategic planning, benchmarking and evaluation of the juvenile justice system by the Children’s Cabinet, the LCLE, the Supreme Court, and other bodies involved with juvenile justice reform and restructuring.To provide a catalyst for the development of a comprehensive IJJIS.For specific information relating to IJJIS-JOIN, call us at (504) 365-1500.
