<Title>Blackboard Down for Maintenance from 10 pm Wednesday,...</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Full Title: Blackboard Down for Maintenance from 10 pm Wednesday, Nov. 9 - 12 am Thursday, Nov. 10The UMBC Blackboard server will be down for two hours of maintenance from 10 pm Wednesday, Nov. 9 to 12 am Thursday, Nov. 10 in order to replace a failed RAID controller.  DoIT staff have determined that a delay in this repair runs the risk of a system-wide degradation in performance, and therefore it can not wait until the <a href="http://www.umbc.edu/blogs/oit-news/archives/2011/08/blackboard_week.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">scheduled maintenance</a> window on Friday night.
    
    We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconveniences that this down time may cause.</div>
