I am seeing once again a large number of events loaded as internet calendar into MS-Outlook via an iCal link default to the same day:

Taken almost straight from the BB_Voice_Troubleshooting_Guide.pdf:
When using the Voice Recorder, first click the (0) blue “Record” to load the recorder. You may have to accept a security warning.
Then click the (1) red record button
IMPORTANT: Click the (2) black STOP button to save your recording. (If you do not click the stop button, your recording will NOT be saved and your instructor will not be able to hear your voice). When you stopped, the timer in the upper right will change from showing “time remaining” to “time recorded”.
Click the (now not grayed out, but ) green PLAY button to confirm your voice was recorded. If you do not hear anything, check your microphone and the volume controls on your computer.
If you wish, to re-record your voice,
1. click the red record button again.
2. Click YES when asked if you want to Override Current Recording.
3. Re-record and again click STOP. and play to Playback your recording.
When finished, Click Submit for Grading to submit the recording to your instructor for review.
