Co-workers use defibrillator to save employee
Chili, N.Y. - 58-year-old Steve Hamlin doesnt remember having a heart attack on the job at Sydor Optics in Chili but it was all captured on video cameras in the ceiling of the plant.
The video show Steve falling off his chair to the floor. Workers then rush to his side, cutting his shirt off, performing CPR and then activating the defibrillator they had never used before.
They were also on the phone with 911, the operator guiding them and telling them steps they had already taken to help Steve Hamlin.
By the time the ambulance arrived, Hamlin was alert and breathing.
He said he didnt need to go to the hospital but was taken there and had surgery.
Steve is back to work and thankful for his co-workers and the defibrillator company owner Jim Sydor invested in four years ago.
Sydor credits a worker who has since retired. He urged him to get the machine. And after it was used to save Steves life, Jim Sydor emailed that employee to tell him he helped save a life.

"I just got my invitations and they were better then I expected. I was so nerovus about them turning out the way I wanted. It was so easy to order and make and changes with the custom proof. I orded the silver shimmer envelopes and had the invitations done in the pearl shimmer.....BEST UPGRADE EVER!!!! The shimmer really brings these invitations to the next level. LOVE THEM!!!! Can't wait to mail them out."
"This card is absolutely beautiful. I was able to use a custom color and the designers got it right on the first review. The review process was very simple and the cards looked just as wonderful in person as in the proof."
"I chose this design because it not only fit my rustic spring theme but because of the overall design. The color and the writing combo is perfect. I love the shape and size of the invitation, it's also unique and different from a lot of other invitations I have looked at. I would definitely recommend the purchase of this invitation suite."
"My finacee loves this card I would you this as the save the dates cards because the template lets everyone knows to expect something but elegant and nice."
"The invitations were beautiful! I had ordered samples from here and about 5 other places. When I asked friends to help me choose, they always narrowed it down to WPD cards only. Everyone called me to tell me how pretty the invitations were. Having the stylist to check everything and make necessary changes was also really helpful. The invitation was a little pricey, but well worth the cost."

How to Calculate a pH
Two Methods:Calculating the pH of a Strong Acid or Strong BaseCalculating the pH of a Weak Acid or Weak Base
The pH of an aqueous solution is the measure of how acidic or basic it is. Use these tips to learn how to calculate a pH.
Method 1 of 2: Calculating the pH of a Strong Acid or Strong Base
1Understand what pH is. The pH scale is used to indicate whether a substance is acidic or alkaline. It operates by measuring the potential of the hydrogen ions contained in a substance. The formula for calculating the pH of an aqueous solution is defined by UC Davis as "the negative of the logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions."[1] This can be expressed as:
- pH = - log[H3O+]
- The pH scale ranges from the number 0 to the number 14. An aqueous solution with a pH below 7 is defined as an acid, while a solution with a pH above 7 is a base. The number 7 itself is neutral.[1]
2Understand what defines strong acids and bases. A strong acid or base is a compound that becomes almost completely dissociated in water. This means that the concentration of the acid is easily calculated, as it is equal to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.
3Find out the concentration of the strong acid or base. To calculate the pH of a strong acid or base, you must first determine the concentration of the hydronium ion of the solution in moles per liter.
- If the solution is purchased, the molarity will be indicated on the container.
- If the solution was created in a laboratory, the number of hydronium ions in the products of the reaction can be determined from the balanced chemical equation for the reaction, and molarity can be determined for the quantities of products to the reaction.
4Use the pH equation to calculate pH. The pH is equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value. For example:
- Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an example of a strong acid. The pH of a 0.01M solution of HCl is equal to −log(0.01), giving a pH = 2.
Method 2 of 2: Calculating the pH of a Weak Acid or Weak Base
1Understand what defines a weak acid or weak base. Calculating the pH of weak acids and bases is a little trickier. This is because weak acids and bases do not completely dissociate in water, so the number of dissociated hydronium ions is not an accurate representation of the concentration value of the solution. To overcome this, you must use what you know about equilibria.[2]
- Finding the pH of a solution containing a weak acid requires the solution of a quadratic equation.
- Finding the pH of a solution containing a weak base may require the solution of a cubic equation.
2Consider the equilibrium. Make a note of the equilibrium involved in your specific problem, along with the expression for the equilibrium constant.[2]
3Create a table of values. This should outline the concentration of all substances involved in the equilibrium.[2]
4Fill these values into the equilibrium constant.[2]
5Solve the quadratic equation. The solution will be the pH value of the weak acid or base.Ad

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

One thing i learned from this is that someone who fell in love with you maybe also gets over it before you do..
I am not sure if it has only positive aspects but its actually really worth a try if you are doubtful. it made me a lot more self confident but maybe i became a bit snotty, too =/
wow! I am taking as much photos as never before. A big kick was my new dslr-camera which took me to places i have never been before. It's about the "stop doing what you do and start taking photos".
i think we don't have to comment on this …... ;)
I havent't cleaned up my room for a too long time and i feel how it makes me be unsatisfied. Its just awesome to come home and have everything looking fine… hrgh i really have to do this
Its always difficult if two people fall in love but in different ways … for example one looking for a long term realtionship and the other one just looking for some happiness-to-go for one summer
He's a highway going nowhere,
he's a story with out end.
As he rides the lonely
journey of the night
He's an ocean without water,
he's the night without the stars
He's a race without a finishline in sight
by Mandy, a friend of mine
Its great! Sometimes I want back that sweet doin-nothing, but at all im happy about this decision.
Firefox is a great browser, but it's not all to just make it your default browser. Firefox becomes even better if you install the right plugins, like AdBlocker, Mouse Gestures, SessionSaver, Google Preview, Greasemonkey and Google Suggest.
I know its really nothing about computers. But i'm 17 and I have all the possibilities I could ever dream of. I just have to do it. But … what?
I've been to a couple of places in europe until now … and i must say that it's really worth it. But i'd never say that i saw europe. I want to do this for a longer time than only 3 or 4 weeks. But I think this thing is something to do in a few years. Maybe 8…
Its just something really general. To do things more concious instead of existing on and on in our boring lifes..
I think taking pictures is really something worth doing it. I love to let others just take a look at the world like they never did before. I took less pictures in the last weeks because I just found my self so boring taking pictures all the time instead of talking to the people around me
even though, some adverstising here:

Product Review - Pantry Butcher Block Bin with Towel Holder
I have always had to have the trash can out in plain view but now it is hidden away and yet convenient to use. - Elspeth
It is a Good Worktop with Adequate Storage. I love this bin, it works perfectly in my kitchen. - Jane
It is very well designed!! This cart is just the right size for a smaller kitchen LIKE MINE. - Liam
The assembly directions are outstanding and super easy to follow. The unit is beautiful when finished, and is so useful with the paper towel holder and wheels for manuevering. The only complaint - and it's not really a complaint - is that I can't find a garbage to fit the way I want. They are either 2 inches too tall, or 4 incehs too small for my liking. - erinkeefe

Hi, I have found a recipe for caramel mudcake that is (in my opinion) perfect. Sweet, but not too sweet with a lovely caramel flavour and just the right amount of muddiness :) I made white chocolate BC to go with it and everyone loved it! So I thought I'd share the recipe. I originally found the recipe on Taste . com . au I will look no further for my perfect caramel mudcake recipe because this is it. And I might add, it makes your house smell amazing! I was swooning.
- Melted butter, to grease
- 200g butter, cubed
- 200g white chocolate (Nestle brand), chopped
- 200g (1 cup, firmly packed) dark brown sugar
- 180ml (3/4 cup) hot water
- 1 tbs golden syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 150g (1 cup) plain flour
- 150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
- 1) Preheat oven to 160°C. Brush a round 22cm (base measurement) cake pan with melted butter. Line base and side with non-stick baking paper.
- 2) Place butter, chocolate, sugar, water, golden syrup and vanilla essence in a heavy-based saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat with a wooden spoon for 5 mins or until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 20 mins to cool
- 3) Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift combined flours over chocolate mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- 4) Pour mixture into pan and bake in preheated oven for 50-60 mins or until a skewer comes out almost clean. Stand cake for 20 mins before turning onto a wire rack to cool.

Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group (ALCTS) Community
ALCTS Tech Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group Midwinter 2011by Dracine Hodges on Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 02:22 pm
The ALCTS Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group presents the following Midwinter program:
Outsourcing Practices in Technical Services
Monday, January 10, 2011, 1:30pm - 3:30 pm
San Diego Convention Center - SDCC Room 30 A
While not a new trend, the outsourcing of technical services work is an increasingly ubiquitous presence in library operations and the management of resources. Many libraries are contracting out to vendors or external organizations as a solution to budget limitations, shrinking staff levels, and shifting priorities. Common areas of outsourcing include cataloging, digitization, and selection. Today, we refer to services like shelf-ready, patron-driven acquisitions, and the Google Books project. Our panel will share aspects of their library's outsourcing profile, costs, benefits, comparative service quality, and assessment tools.
Please join us for a lively session. Our panelists are:
Judy Garrison
Head of Electronic Acquisitions & Serials Control, University of Texas, San Antonio
Ann Miller
Head, Metadata Services and Digital Projects, University of Oregon
Lynette Schurdevin
Library Administrator, Thomas Branigan Public Library (New Mexico)

Are We Still Doing This? Streamlining Workflows in Collection Management
Regina Koury, Idaho State University library
In 2013 Idaho State University instituted campus-wide Program Prioritization process, based on Robert Dickeson's model and initiated by the Idaho State Board of Education. As part of this process, ISU library have been tasked to identify key processes, number of personnel assigned to the key processes and key processes that can be streamlined or eliminated.
This dynamic, full of real examples presentation will describe how library's Collection Management workflows have been re-evaluated. How library strategically streamlined acquisitions, cataloging, electronic resources and government documents management workflows, which processes were relevant and which no longer applied, which technology we used to help us to be efficient and creative and how Collection Management navigated through changes.
Keeping Up Connections: Managing Change in Technical Services Through Collaboration at Atkins Library
Shoko Tokoro, Atkins Library, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Joseph Nicholson, Atkins Library, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
In 2011, a reorganization of Atkins Library at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte resulted in the disbanding of Technical Services. The functions of each unit of Acquisitions, Cataloging, Electronic Resources, Serials, Collections Development, and Government Documents were physically separated, and personnel from some units were annexed to different departments. In July 2013, the library adopted a new ILS that has added more complications to the roles and workflows of staff. This presentation will describe how librarians and staff at Atkins have collaborated creatively across redrawn organizational boundaries and devised agile workflows to ensure that both traditional technical services tasks and new responsibilities are handled effectively during a period of organizational change. A particular focus will be the migration of library data to the new ILS at Atkins, an effort that required close cooperation among staff and a nimble rethinking of traditional staff roles and responsibilities.
Moving from print-centric to e-centric workflows: a reorganization of the Technical Services Group at the GMU Libraries
Meg Manahan, George Mason University Libraries
Nathan Putnam, University of Maryland Libraries
In 2010, the George Mason University Libraries Technical Services Group (TSG) underwent a massive reorganization in order to update for new workflows and demands. After a year of research, targeted focus groups, and departmental meetings, a new TSG emerged. The hallmark of the reorganization was flexibility, particularly with regard to format. The two new TSG departments - Resource Acquisitions and Resource Description & Metadata Services - are format blind. Job descriptions are also format-neutral, to allow all staff to work with any format. The focus on flexibility is embodied most significantly by an E-resources Team that crosses departments and even bridges other library divisions. Membership on the team is fluid, so that over time the team can expand or contract as needed. This presentation will focus on the impetus for the reorganization, the team model and the improved electronic workflows within this team, and the other changes, such as cataloging on receipt, that allowed us to allocate additional staff to electronic resources.

Session one:
Title: Using MarcEdit and Excel to Identify Bibliographic Problems with Batchloaded Records
Presenter: Michael Winecoff, Associate University Librarian for Technical Services, UNC Charlotte
Synopsis: MARC records provided by vendors are often batchloaded without regard to checking for quality control. These records could have unknown problems that would otherwise go undetected making them inaccessible. This session shows one way using MarcEdit and Excel to quickly pull out key fields and scan for issues.
Session two:
Title: Adding XSLT to the cataloger's toolbox: efficiencies for transforming and analyzing bibliographic data.
Presenter: Annie Glerum, Head of Complex Cataloging, Florida State University Libraries
Synopsis: MarcEdit is extremely handy for editing and analyzing MARC files, however another useful program that can be tossed to the cataloger's toolbox is EXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). XSLT, which can be used in conjunction with MarcEdit, works with any XML-based metadata and can be customized for local needs. This introduction to XSLT covers metadata transformation to MARC21, quality control of vendor batch files, and XSLT code snippets.
Session three:
Title: A technology solution to process management: leveraging a Duke/IBM partnership
Presenter: Jacquie Samples, Head, Electronic Resources and Serials Cataloging Section, ERSM, Duke University Libraries
Synopsis: In the summer of 2013, a joint team involving the Duke University Libraries and IBM spent three months deploying and developing IBM's Business Process Manager application framework (BPM) in the Libraries, showcasing the application's capabilities by transforming the way the Duke University Libraries manage subscriptions to online databases. The Libraries' successful collaboration with IBM and the BPM platform has become a foundational experience for developing a suite of workflow tools in the Libraries, one that will help transform other operational processes and improve the Libraries' quality of service in nearly every area. This presentation will describe the processes and problems that led up to this transformative project, will provide a brief overview of the BPM solution in action, and will discuss the broader potential of BPM as a process management solution for the Duk

Selection Manager is a new centralized system that manages the communication and work related to the review and selection of electronic resources. It tracks and manages technical services workflow for product inquiries, price quotes, vendor communications and dispenses product and trial information to targeted selectors. The presentation will include an overview of the system and how it is being used to manage selection workflow at Kent State University. It will be followed by a discussion on topics such as 1) primary advantages of using an centralized system to manage technical services workflow and communications related to product inquires 2) the reclamation of costly staff time by automating the workflow and eliminating numerous inefficient email communications; 2) the application of standard methodology for coordinating discovery, review and selection of new resources. Speakers: Kay Downey, Collection Management Librarian and Rick Wiggins, System Programmer from Kent State University.

With constant budget cuts libraries are focusing on digitizing their unique and special collections. More metadata is now being created in house by staff that formerly only did traditional cataloging. The panelists will discuss their approaches to transitioning staff away from traditional cataloging and towards metadata. Learn from this panel how libraries have trained traditional cataloging staff to create metadata for their digital collections as part of their normal cataloging workflows and any obstacles or lessons learned during the transition to this new type of cataloging. The digital collections discussed will include institutional repositories, oral histories, museum collections and archival collections of all shapes and sizes.

Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group at ALA Annualby Catherine Grove on Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 10:20 am
At ALA Annual, the ALCTS Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group will be hosting a discussion to explore how the economy and budget cuts are affecting libraries, the strategies being employed to deal with the economic down-turn, and new priorities and initiatives that have emerged. Two panelists will join us: Lisa Barricella of East Carolina University and Mary Konkel of College of DuPage. Below you'll find some of the questions we'll be considering. Please join us on Monday, July 13 from 1:30 to 3:00 at the Chicago Hilton, Conference Room 4C.
- What strategies have worked in your library to cope with the economic down-turn and the accompanying reduced and unpredictable budgets?
- What has not worked?
- What priorities have changed?
- Are there initiatives moving forward at a quicker pace because of the crisis?
- What projects or processes have you had to abandon because of budget crunches and shifting priorities?
We're looking forward to hearing about your experiences and ideas on this topic.

The ALCTS Technical Services Workflow Efficiency Interest Group* presents the following program:
Sharing the Shelf : A Look at Print Retention and Shared Archive Initiatives
Monday, June 27, 2011, 1:30pm – 3:30 pm
Morial Convention Center room 342 (MCC- 342)
Shared print archive initiatives are on the rise nationally. Many leading libraries and consortia view the long-term stewardship of print journals as an important part of electronic migration and preservation for future research and scholarship. Additionally, libraries benefit from shared costs and cooperative management and storage of these materials. Consortia are particularly well-placed to coordinate strategic and economical efforts to archive and manage critical print serial collections.
Please join the group as we host a panel discussion to explore issues and challenges related to the cooperative planning and implementation of these vital initiatives.
Our panelists are:
Aisha Harvey, Head, Collection Development, Duke University (ASERL)
Karen Wilhoit, Associate University Librarian for Collections, Wright State University (OhioLINK)
*Please also consider serving as the next vice chair for this interest group.

Efficient rejection of scattered light enables deep optical sectioning in turbid media with low-numerical-aperture optics in a dual-axis confocal architecture
2008; 13 (3)
Miniature endoscopic microscopes, with subcellular imaging capabilities, will enable in vivo detection of molecularly-targeted fluorescent probes for early disease detection. To optimize a dual-axis confocal microscope (DACM) design for this purpose, we use a tabletop instrument to determine the ability of this technology to perform optical sectioning deep within tissue. First, we determine how tissue scattering deteriorates the diffraction-limited transverse and vertical responses in reflectance imaging. Specifically, the vertical response of a DACM to a plane reflector is measured at various depths in a scattering phantom and compared with diffraction theory and Monte Carlo scattering simulations. Similarly, transverse line scans across a knife-edge target are performed at various depths in a scattering phantom. Second, as a practical demonstration of deep-tissue fluorescence microscopy that corroborates the findings from our scattering experiments, 3-D fluorescence images are obtained in thick human gastrointestinal mucosal specimens. Our results demonstrate efficient rejection of scattered light in a DACM, which enables deep optical sectioning in tissue with subcellular resolution that can distinguish between normal and premalignant pathologies.

Offer may not be ready for AMCU voteComment on this story
Johannesburg - The Association of Mineworkers of South Africa (AMCU) President Joseph Mathunjwa told Reuters on Thursday he was not sure if the revised wage offer from the world's top platinum companies was ready to take to members.
"I don't know at this stage," he told Reuters as he entered venue where talks were still being held in Johannesburg.
Members of AMCU downed tools in January at Lonmin, Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum, demanding a more than doubling of the monthly wage to R12 500 to be achieved in four years.
"Today is the last day for negotiations, tomorrow we will report back to the members," AMCU shop steward Siphamandla Makhanya told Reuters.

Probabilistic Characterization of Missing Data in Noncancer Risk Assessment. S. J. S. Baird, 87 Rockland Place, Newton, MA 02164; A. I. Shlyakhter, Harvard University, Department of Physics, Cambridge, MA 02138; and J. S. Evans, Harvard School of Public Health, Department of Environmental Health, 665 Huntington Ave., Building I-1308, Boston, MA 02115
We have developed a new approach for characterizing the uncertainty in the population threshold dose (Baird et al., Human and Ecological Risk Assessment, 1996, 2:79-102) where uncertainty factors are represented as probability distributions instead of point estimates. Here we describe approaches for the probabilistic characterization of the Data Quantity/Quality factor that accounts for missing bioassay data. Noncancer risk assessment methods rely on the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) of the most sensitive or critical effect. Thus, all possible effects need to be studied to be certain that the true critical effect is identified. A complete dataset commonly includes a rat chronic, mouse chronic, rat developmental and rat reproductive bioassays. However, frequently a complete dataset is not available for the compound of interest. In this case, regulatory agencies have accounted for the chance that the missing studies would have yielded a lower NOAEL by using an point estimate uncertainty factor, often called a Data Quantity/Quality factor. To fully account for the uncertainty in the population threshold, the uncertainty in how much lower the missing NOAEL(s) might be should be characterized probabilistically. Using the complete datasets for 35 pesticides, we developed 3 approaches for estimating the probability distribution of the ratio of the estimate of the missing NOAEL to the true minimum NOAEL. Because the missing NOAEL is only important if it is lower than the existing NOAELs, the estimate from each approach only replaces the existing NOAEL if it is lower. The three complimentary approaches include a simple method, taking the ratios of the minimum of the available bioassays and the minimum of the complete set of bioassays, the true NOAEL; a standard regression method, regressing the minimum of the available studies on the true NOAEL; and a constrained regression method, where a penalty term is added to the regression equation to decrease the likelihood that the estimated NOAEL is greater than the available NOAEL. The advantages and limitations of each approach will be discussed in relation to risk assessment and risk management goals.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Wild have traded defenseman Greg Zanon to the Boston Bruins for defenseman Steve Kampfer.
The deal was done Monday right before the NHL's trading deadline. Zanon was the third Wild defenseman dealt in the last four days. Marek Zidlicky went to New Jersey and Nick Schultz was sent to Edmonton.
The 31-year-old Zanon will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. Kampfer is 23, with five goals in 48 career games with the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruins, who were looking for another gritty veteran on the blue line.
The Oilers sent defenseman Tom Gilbert for Schultz, and former Wild defenseman Kurtis Foster was reacquired from the Devils in the package for Zidlicky. Kampfer will report to Minnesota's AHL affiliate.

Man featured as this week's Manhunt Monday arrested
Thursday, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office Criminal Warrants and Extraditions Deputies said they were given information on Victor Hernandez, 40 who they said had been on the run for some time.
Hernandez was wanted for allegedly running a scheme where he used his construction company called "Hernandez Home Remodeling" to take money from clients needing construction work done. Deputies said Hernandez would agree to do the construction work, take money from clients to start the project, and would then abandon the project or start it and not finish.
Deputies arrested Hernandez in the west El Paso.
Hernandez was arrested and booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility under an $81,500 total bond.

Travel | Purchase Card | SmartData OnLine | Miscellaneous
Travel Questions
Can an employee rent a car for short-term transportation?
Although we prefer employees use their own vehicles for local transportation, Oakland University will reimburse for car rental when needed for university business purposes and it is the most economic alternative. A rental vehicle should not be used when the business trip is combined with personal side-trips. Fuel related to the rental will also be reimbursable, mileage will NOT be reimbursable while using a rental vehicle.
Does Oakland University have any corporate rates for renting vehicles?
Yes, the Accounts Payable Department has specific charge cards for Avis, Budget and Hertz. These cards may be signed out from the A/P office for business travel only, and the university will be billed directly for the particular rental contract.
How do I obtain a cash advance for travel?
Cash advances may only be obtained for athletic team travel, student group travel, and foreign travel. To obtain a cash advance for any of these scenarios, an e-mail must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com by the employee's supervisor authorizing the travel advance. The e-mail must include the traveler's name in the header and have the dates, destination, purpose and fund number to be charged. Please see OU AP&P #1200 for more information.
If you have two or more pages of a TES for one trip, does it require signatures on each form?
No, the authorizing signatures must be on the first page that shows the total cost of the trip.
Purchase Card Questions
Who determines if I should have a Purchasing Card (P-Card)?
The need for a card is based on a person's job function. Deans, Assistant Deans, Managers and Unit Business Managers determine who has the need for a Card within their organizations and the number of cards that can be effectively managed. Not everyone who travels or purchases will receive a card.
How do I get a Card?
Complete the Purchasing Card Application found on the Accounts Payable website (choose Forms, then choose Purchasing Card Forms). Have your supervisor sign the completed application and then forward to Accounts Payable. Allow two weeks for processing by OU Accounts Payable and Comerica.
What purchases are to be made with the card?
The PCard is used to make purchases of goods, repairs and maintenance, overnight shipping services, conference registrations, purchases from most of our preferred vendors (see below for exceptions), and travel related expenses (excluding food, incidental expenses, and fuel for your personal vehicle). Please see OU AP&P #1020 for more information.
What purchases are excluded and/or prohibited?
What are the card limits?
Individual purchases (single transaction) must not exceed $5,000. Card monthly cycle limits will not exceed $10,000. If you have a single transaction limit of $5,000, please note that use of the P-Card does not give departments exemption from the competitive pricing requirement for purchases between $2,500 and $5,000. Refer to OU AP&P #1000 Procurement for more information on this requirement. Retain all competitive pricing documentation and attach to the monthly P-Card statement.
How does my bill get paid?
Our card is administered by Comerica Bank. On the fourth business day of each month, Comerica automatically withdraws the total amount due from the prior month. Cardholders never process a payment request for the purchasing card charges.
When will I get a statement?
You will receive a statement from Comerica Bank around the seventh day of the month if you have made purchases in the prior month. For example, if you make any purchases in June, you will receive a statement in the mail about July 7th. You will not receive a statement if you did not have any transactions. If you do not receive a statement when expected, please contact Accounts Payable to determine if the correct address is in the Comerica system.
What are the cardholder responsibilities?
Cardholders must keep the card in a secure location, never share the card, and monitor all activity on the card. The cardholder must never use the card to make personal purchases. Additionally, purchases must support the mission of the department and comply with all OU policies, state, and federal laws. If the cardholder notices fraudulent activity, the cardholder must call the 800 number on the back of the card and work with Comerica's fraud department to clear the charges. Each month when the statement arrives to the department address, the cardholder must review the charges on the statement and attach all original invoices, receipts, packing slips, etc. to the statement. The cardholder then signs the LAST page of the statement and forwards the complete package to the supervisor for approval. It is highly recommended that the cardholder makes a copy of the entire package before sending it on. Finally, the cardholder, or a designee, must utilize SDG2 or submit a Journal Voucher to ensure that the expenses are allocated to the proper expense account codes. Please see below for more information on SDG2.
What are the cardholder supervisor's responsibilities?
The supervisor must review the statement and receipts, then sign the LAST page of the statement to verify that the purchases are in compliance with OU policy. The completed package is forwarded to Accounts Payable no later than one month past the statement date.
What happens when a cardholder changes departments?
When a cardholder transfers between departments at the University, he/she must notify the Accounts Payable Department before the transfer occurs. If the transfer occurs mid-way through a calendar month, the transactions that post for that month must be reviewed and properly redistributed.
Why do we have to sign the LAST page of the statement?
The last page of the statement contains the total spend for the month. By both individuals signing the last page, we have an acknowledgment on record that both parties agree to the total spend for the month.
What is the difference between the statement address, the billing address, and the shipping address?
Statement Address: The statement address for the PCard should be the user department, and must include the user department's name and address including the building and room number, city and zip code. The financial institution will mail the PCard statement to the cardholder on the last day of each month. If the cardholder does not receive a monthly Card statement from the financial institution, he/she should contact the Accounts Payable Department. It is the responsibility of the cardholder to notify Accounts Payable Department of any changes in address.
Billing Address: The address and phone number used for address verification when completing a transaction is: 121 Vandenberg Hall West, Rochester, MI 48309 (248) 370-4395.Using a different billing address may cause the card to decline.
Shipping Address: Use the department address and contact person for the shipping address. The Receiving Department cannot deliver the packages addressed to Oakland University, Receiving Department, or Accounts Payable Department.
SmartData Generation 2 ("SDG2") Questions
What is SDG2?
SDG2 allows cardholders, or designees, to allocate their PCard expenses online in lieu of a Journal Voucher.
How do I get set up with access to SDG2 for my P-Card?
Contact our PCard Specialist, Karla Brown, at firstname.lastname@example.com and request access. We offer at least bi-monthly trainings so please visit the UHR Current Training page and sign up for a date once you are ready to begin using SDG2. In the Business Systems section click on "Smart Data OnLine for P-Card Reclassification".
I allocate the transactions for several cardholders each month, how can I do this through SDG2?
When requesting access, indicate the cardholders in which you need access. Advise the PCard Specialist or the Accounts Payable Manager whenever you need to remove or add cardholders from your access.
How does my supervisor approve the transactions I process in SDG2?
Your supervisor can request access to your account in SDG2 but their approval is not required. Their approval is only required on the actual statement itself each month. A best practice we suggest is to allocate your transactions in SDG2, then print out the Accounting Code Detail report through SDG2 and attach it to your statement each month for your supervisor's review.
What if I need to modify any of the allocations I previously entered in SDG2?
If it is BEFORE the 15th of the month following the statement end date, you can modify as much as necessary. AFTER the 15th, you will need to submit a Journal Voucher to the Accounting department to process the change. Please note that SDG2 will allow you to make changes after the 15th, however, they will NOT be processed and uploaded to Banner.
What if I do not want to use SDG2?
While the use of SDG2 to allocate your P-Card transactions is strongly encouraged due to the general efficiency of the process for all departments involved, it is not currently required. If you do not use SDG2 to allocate your transactions, you must submit an Interdepartmental Journal Voucher form to the Accounting department by the 30th of the month following the statement end date.
Miscellaneous Questions
Can I purchase non-Pepsi brand beverages? Does it matter if I buy it myself and request reimbursement? And can you tell me what beverage brands are owned by Pepsi?
Pepsi is the exclusive beverage supplier for Oakland University.
According to OU's agreement with Pepsi, products manufactured by Pepsi are to be the only beverage products of their respective types sold, distributed, advertised, displayed, sampled, or otherwise made available on OU's campus. This means that even when it comes to reimbursements, you must purchase Pepsi products either directly from Pepsi or from a vendor who sells Pepsi products.
Aquafina is Pepsi's bottled water brand. For a comprehensive look at all of Pepsi's beverage brands, please visit their website here.
How do I get set up for direct deposit for my business expense reimbursements?
Login to SAIL. Click on Employee Services, then click on Direct Deposit - Non-Payroll. You should see your Grizzly ID and your name followed by a note telling you that you are not currently set up for direct deposit for non-payroll reimbursements. Click on the link directly below that to enter your bank information. Follow the instructions on the next page (you will only need your routing and account numbers) and you will be set up in minutes.
How do I change the bank I have set up for my business expense reimbursements?
Login to SAIL. Click on Employee Services, then click on Direct Deposit - Non-Payroll. The screen should indicate your current bank information on file and ask you to verify it or if you want to update it. Click on update and your information will be updated in minutes.
Does a student have to be set up for non-payroll direct deposit to receive a reimbursement?
No. The direct deposit initiative is currently limited to employees.
I want to recognize my staff with gift cards as a special reward. How do I pay for that from my university budget?
You don't. The Internal Revenue Service considers gift cards the same as cash and any cash award would have to be added to an employee's payroll records for FICA withholding and reported as income.
I am the receipient of an REU stipend/scholarship - is this taxable and will I receive a 1099-MISC at year-end?
REU – Research Experiences for Undergraduates program is designed to promote and advance scientific and engineering progress in the United States and is federally funded by the National Science Foundation. This program provides awards to thousands of undergraduate students who participate in the research experience.
REU stipends, or scholarships, received by participants who are degree seeking students are NOT reportable to the IRS by Oakland University based on the following:
(1) IRS Form 1099-MISC - The instructions and corresponding regulations allow for these type of items to be classified as scholarships which are NOT required to be reported on 1099-MISC
(2) IRS Notice 87-31 - All amounts paid to U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens in the form of scholarships, fellowships, grants, and financial aid are NOT required to be reported to the IRS by the payors.
That does not mean the award is non-taxable, some may have to pay taxes on a portion of their stipends, however, the recipient is responsible for reporting.
The IRS Publication 970 has more information http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p970.pdf.
