[Sorry, Admins. I typed this out before I discovered that you cant post replies in threads that have been archived. So, seeing as I went to the bother of composing it, I have decided to start a new thread so that I can post it. But, I was wondering if it was possible for one of the Admins to retrieve the thread of the same name ( http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?36858 ) from the archives and merge this thread into it. If so, I would very much appreciate it, as it would make the discussion easier to follow. CaroLiza_fan ]
When I saw that we now have a thread about the sexiest programmes ( http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?39719 ), it reminded me about this comment that I wrote after the Cup of Russia, BACK IN NOVEMBER(!!!), but forgot to actually post. Oops!!!
Right, here are the first 10 names that came into my head, in the order they came into my head! Which probably says something in itself!
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva: I am totally smitten!
Carolina Kostner: Well, she is the reason I fell in love with skating.
Akiko Suzuki: Still can't believe that she's older than me - she looks so young! And her playful personality makes her even more beautiful!
Alena Leonova: Talk about a body to die for!!!
Nathalie Péchalat: She may be one of the older skaters now, but she still exudes sexiness!
Elena Ilynikh: When you put aside my personal tastes and biases, Elena is without doubt the most beautiful skater on the circuit. What I want to know is: are all Kazakh girls this stunning???!!!
Kiira Korpi: A very beautiful girl, but an even more beautiful skater.
Kim Yu-Na: OK, so she may be far too cocky for my liking, but boys she is beautiful! And, like Kiira, she is even more beautiful as a skater.
Mao Asada: While Yu-Na wins on the sheer beauty stakes, there is one factor that Mao has that Yu-Na never will - cuteness!
Katy Perry (Sorry Tessa, I couldn't resist!): Come on, how could you not include Tessa Virtue in this sort of list?! She is the best Katy Perry lookalike that I have ever seen!
To be honest, I could have made a very long list, as there are so many pretty skaters about. Like, I could have included:
Practically all the Oriental girls (I have always had a thing for Oriental girls But, some of the younger Chinese girls look ridiculously young, so that is why I have not said "all the Oriental girls");
Practically all the Russian girls (sorry Julia, but you're still too young. But all the older Russian girls could have been on it );
All the Italian girls (see my comment for Anna Cappellini, below);
Most of the French girls (well, I do have Huguenot blood deep within me )
Most of the North American girls
But, so that the list doesn't go on forever, I have instead selected 13 that I wanted to make specific comments about!
Adelina Sotnikova: I know I've been complaining about her wearing revealing outfits at her age. But, the reason I am so concerned is because she is growing up to be a wee stunner!
Ashley Wagner: A beautiful girl to start with, but the way she is always so happy is infectious. You can't help but smile when she appears!
Vera Bazarova: Very beautiful, but she really needs a good feed. That sort of figure is fine for a girl of 14 or 15, but on a 19 year-old, it just does not look healthy.
Ekaterina Pushkash: As beautiful as Bazarova, but without looking skinny.
Ekaterina Riazanova: Although Ekaterina was quite pretty when I first saw her back in 2009, I never dreamt she would grow up to be as stunningly beautiful as she is now!!!
Vanessa James: OK, so I do tend to find black girls attractive. But this one is particularly nice!
Elika Březinová: To be honest, I'm biased because I've always had a soft spot for Czechs and I'm a fan of her brother. But, she is a beautiful wee girl!
Valentina Marchei: Is it just me, or does Valentina look a bit like Carolina?
Anna Cappellini: There's just something about Italian girls, and boys but Anna has it!
Anastasia Martiusheva: A very pretty wee girl, but she would be even more beautiful if only she knew how to smile! I first noticed it on her Facebook photos, but now Simon Reed has pointed it out while commentating on the Cup Of Russia.
Daria Popova: I know Daria is very good at the sultry look (just see her modelling photos) but, like Anastasia, she would be even more beautiful if she just smiled more. But, unlike Anastasia, at least I know Daria can smile!
Gracie Gold: Never heard tell of her until Skate Canada, but she really impressed me. She's a wee stunner, and a very good skater. One to watch for the future.
Agnes Zawadzki: Same as Gracie, really. Except, that it was the Cup Of Russia that I first saw her, of course!

The final round of the Master's begins today.
Rory McIlroy extended his lead during the third round. He will begin tomorrows round at 12-under-par, giving him four shot clearance over Jason Day, K.J. Choi, Charl Schwartzel and Angel Cabrera.
If the 21-year-old McIlroy wins his first green jacket tomorrow, he will be the youngest player since Tiger Woods to win his first green jacket back in 1997.
It will be no easy task to win tomorrow. McIlroy has veteran presence within striking distance. That presence coupled with the pressure of Sunday at Augusta, may prove to be too much for the young gun.
We'll be here all day providing updates and analysis on what is happening at Augusta National Golf Club.

A Letter to the Editor published in the Aug. 20, 2013, Tomahawk Leader:
Soon the Friends of Lake Mohawksin will be conducting the annual meeting. Undoubtedly, again the Association will express the desire to change the organization from a "Lake Association" to a "Lake District."
When you lakefront property owners are eventually asked to vote on this proposition, please remember the ramifications. If it would pass, you will probably be receiving a "special assessment" on your real estate tax bill, based on fair market value of your property. Also, please remember that lakefront property owners are already taxed excessively on our real estate.
The Association, at the annual meeting, will present the successes they have had in fighting the spread of Eurasian water milfoil, among other improvements and we greatly appreciate the hard work that's been done. Let's also report that the association has been a success. Again, a success. Why would we, as taxpayers, want to create yet another bureaucracy, and yet another potential form of taxation without representation, by forming a lake district when the Association is successful.
We realize the Association requires funding. Certainly, the Wisconsin DNR has been helpful and should continue to be demanded to be involved. It is our belief that the Association, and the community, need to find more creative methods of funding the fight against invasive species. Our personal boats, etc., do not leave Lake Mohawksin. Maybe the boaters launching at the lake boat landings, for recreational or tournament enjoyment, should be contacted? Perhaps the businesses located on and off the lake that are benefiting from the lake traffic would have some input?

This is a discussion on Samba 3.0.25rc1 Available for Download - SMB ; -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ================================================== ============ Port 80 is the new HTTP. -- Jeremy Allison on Web Services ================================================== ============ Release Announcements ===================== This is the first release candidate of the Samba 3.0.25 code base and is provided ...
Hash: SHA1
================================================== ============
Port 80 is the new HTTP.
-- Jeremy Allison on Web Services
================================================== ============
Release Announcements
This is the first release candidate of the Samba 3.0.25 code
base and is provided for testing only. An RC release means
that we are close to the final release but the code may still
have a few remaining minor bugs. This release is *not* intended
for production servers. There has been a substantial amount
of development since the 3.0.23/3.0.24 series of stable releases.
We would like to ask the Samba community for help in testing
these changes as we work towards the next significant production
upgrade Samba 3.0 release.
Major features included in the 3.0.25 code base include:
o Significant improvements in the winbind off-line logon support.
o Support for secure DDNS updates as part of the 'net ads join'
o Rewritten IdMap interface which allows for TTL based caching and
per domain backends.
o New plug-in interface for the "winbind nss info" parameter.
o New file change notify subsystem which is able to make use of
inotify on Linux.
o Support for passing Windows security descriptors to a VFS
plug-in allowing for multiple Unix ACL implements to running side
by side on the Same server.
o Improved compatibility with Windows Vista clients including
improved read performance with Linux servers.
o Man pages for VFS plug-ins.
Off-line Logons and AD Site Support
Winbind's capability to support offline logons has been greatly
improved with the 3.0.25 release including support for locating
domain controllers asynchronously using Active Directory Site
New IdMap Interface for Winbindd
The 3.0.25 release of Samba will include a rewritten IdMap interface
for winbindd which replaces the "idmap backend" parameter. The
initial design document may be found at
Please refer to the "idmap domains" description in the smb.conf(5)
man page for more details.
Dynamic DNS Updates
The "net ads join" command is now able to register the host's DNS
A records with Windows 2000 SP4 and 2003 DNS servers. This
feature must be enabled at compile time using the --with-dnsupdate
when running the ./configure script. There is also a related "net
ads dns" command for refreshing a host's records which could be
launched from a dhcp client script when a new IP address is obtained.
Support for Additional ACL Modules
Samba's POSIX ACL support has been moved inside of the VFS layer
which means it is now possible to support multiple ACL implementations
on the same server including NFSv4 and GPFS ACLs.
VFS ReadAhead Plugin
Windows Vista introduces pipe-lined read support for improved
performance when transferring files. The new vfs_readahead plugin
allows Linux file servers to utilize additional Kernel buffers
for caching files in order to avoid Disk I/O wait time when serving
Vista clients. If you experience poor read performance between
Linux servers and Vista clients, please test the vfs_readahead
module by adding the following lines to the share definition
in smb.conf:
vfs objects = readahead
Note that this plugin will result in additional RAM requirements
due to the increased amount of kernel buffer caches used by smbd.
Please refer to vfs_readahead(8) for more information.

Treasure-Hunting Family Finds $300,000 in Spanish Gold
Rick Schmitt and his family struck gold over the weekend, uncovering an estimated $300,000 worth of chains and coins off the Florida coast from Spanish ships struck by a hurricane hundreds of years ago.
Schmitt's family, along with friend Dale Zeak, were photographed with their discovered treasures: a 64-ft. gold chain, five fold coins and a gold ring.
"This is like the end of a dream," Schmitt, of Sanford, Fla., tells the Sun Sentinel.
Brent Brisben, co-founder of the company that owns the rights to dive on the wreckage site, says, "To be the first person to touch an artifact in 300 years is indescribable. They were there 150 years before the Civil War. It's truly remarkable to be able to bring that back."
Before their discoveries, the Schmitt family was a group of "world-class recyclers," their daughter Hillary said with a laugh.
Rick's wife Lisa acknowledged the experience has been valuable for more than just money reasons.
"The greatest treasure is time with the family," she said.

by Jessica Winkworth October 19, 2007
A Gibson, or Gib, is commonly used as a adjective to descride a creeper. A Gibson can be found lurking beneath shrubbery, outside of windows, or underneath your beard. Gibsons are quite rare and can only emerge in their true form on July 24th at sunset. But beware, the nature of the Gib can cause it to become quite aggressive when provoked. Highly flammable and allergic to Dillers. BEWARE OF THE LURKING GIB.
I swear I could've seen a small Gibson scurry underneath my mustache.

The best little town in the World. Only a 40 min ferry ride outside of Vancouver, BC. Made popular by the TV series 'The Beachcombers' filmed in this wonderful town. Contrary to popular belief, Gibsons is not an island, but actually part of the mainland. It is just impossible to get to without taking the ferry becasue the mountains are impassible.
Also, because it is on the Sunshine Coast, the weather is wonderful for all kinds of sports, especially sailing and powerboating.

If South Carolina doesn't pass a law to ban texting while driving, Charleston County should be prepared to create its own, County Councilman Joe Qualey said.
County Council's Finance Committee will hold its first discussion on a texting ban tonight, but the group isn't expected to vote on the matter.
Most people have either sent a text message while driving or have watched a car swerving on a highway as the driver was texting, Qualey said. "It's time to do something about it."
South Carolina is one of only a handful of states that doesn't ban or limit texting while driving. Efforts to pass such a bill failed in the General Assembly last year after lawmakers expressed concern about personal liberties being taken away and the difficulty in enforcing such a ban.
In the Lowcountry, only the city of Beaufort has approved a ban.
State Rep. Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston, filed another bill for a statewide ban late last month. Gilliard said he was shaken after running a red light while reading a text. That's why he sponsored a bill to ban it.
Under Gilliard's plan, a first-offense conviction would bring a $250 fine or 30 days in jail, and would suspend the driver's license for 30 days. A second offense would cost $1,000 or 60 days in jail and license suspended for 60 days, with two points on the driver's license.
Qualey said he ran the idea of a countywide ban past Sheriff Al Cannon, who was open to a discussion. It's important that officials who would enforce a ban are included in the discussion on creating one and putting in place, Qualey said.
Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Brady said Wednesday that Cannon didn't have a comment on the matter.
Numerous studies have determined that texting while driving is a common and dangerous practice.
A new study by AT&T, which was released late last month, found that contrary to popular perception, texting while driving isn't just a problem among younger drivers.
According to the study, nearly 50 percent of adult commuters of more than 1,000 surveyed stated that they had sent a text message while driving, and 43 percent of them said they did it habitually.
That means that commuters are texting and driving even more than teens. In a separate study conducted by AT&T, 43 percent of teens reported texting and driving.
Qualey said a ban would serve as a deterrent for a behavior that has become commonplace. "We can tell our kids that not only is it dangerous, it's illegal."

LINCOLN, Neb. - It's Penn State versus Nebraska, of course there would be controversy.
That's just how things have gone throughout the rivalry between two of college football's traditional powers.
A costly and questionable fumble in the fourth quarter hurt the Nittany Lions on Saturday, but the players acknowledged afterward that's not the reason they lost the game, 32-23, to the No. 18 Cornhuskers before 85,527 fans at Memorial Stadium.
Article Photos
Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin walks off the field after losing Saturday at Nebraska.
"You can't leave the game in the referees' hands, and we all know that. ... That's just on us, man," PSU cornerback Stephon Morris said.
The Lions (6-4, 4-2 Big Ten) played a strong first half and appeared to be in control up 20-6 at the break. That lead vanished in a hurry in the third quarter, though, as Nebraska (8-2, 5-1) scored two quick TDs to pull even.
Penn State regrouped with a field goal for a 23-20 edge, then Nebraska found the end zone with 10:57 to play for its first lead, 27-23.
Then came the play that had Penn State fans, not to mention quarterback Matt McGloin, all fired up.
The Lions took over at their own 25 with 10:57 left, got a 17-yard run by Zach Zwinak and a 38-yard pass from McGloin to Allen Robinson down to the Nebraska 17. Penn State got a break on third-and-6 from the 13 when McGloin was sacked and the Cornhuskers' Eric Martin was flagged for a face mask.
That gave PSU first-and-goal at the 7, and on second down from the 3, McGloin dumped off a pass to Matt Lehman.
The big tight end tried to fight his way through several defenders into the end zone, and as he attempted to stretch the ball over the goal line, it was ripped out of his hands and ruled a fumble on the field. Nebraska's Daimion Stafford recovered in the end zone for a momentum-changing touchback.
The play was reviewed, though, and TV replays appeared to show the ball crossing the goal line for a touchdown before the fumble.
But the replay officials didn't see it that way.
The fumble call stood, Penn State fans erupted with outrage on Twitter and the Lions didn't threaten the rest of the way, even though there was still 7:39 left to play.
"I felt like it was over the goal line but ... they didn't have enough evidence to reverse it," Lions coach Bill O'Brien said.
Big Ten official John O'Neill gave this explanation after the game: "The ruling on the field was it was a fumble short of the goal line. It went to replay, and the replay official said the play stood, based on the views he had. It's ultimately his decision."
ABC broadcasters Sean McDonough and Chris Spielman both said on the air they thought it was a touchdown.
Mike Pereira, former vice president of officiating for the NFL, tweeted, "It's a close play in PSU/NEB but if it was me I would've reversed it to a touchdown. Seems to have control when the ball broke the plane."
Nebraska went three-and-out on the ensuing series, then punter Brett Maher delivered one of the game's biggest plays when he booted a 69-yard kick down to the PSU 2.
McGloin was flagged for intentional grounding from the end zone on the Lions' next series, resulting in a safety that gave Nebraska a 29-23 lead with 5:02 to go.
Penn State got one more shot, taking over at its 20 with 3:44 left, but went four-and-out as McGloin threw four incompletions. Nebraska ran three plays and got a 33-yard field goal from Maher with 23 seconds left to seal it.
"We had opportunities to win," Morris said. "We should have won. That was a game that we should have won. Could have played better."
The controversial call on the fumble might dominate the discussion about the game, but as Morris and others said, the Lions had plenty of other opportunities to win that had nothing to do with that call.
"I think there was a lot more to it," Robinson said. "You can't go to one play in the whole second half and say that won or lost the game. They were in the same situation; they fumbled on the goal line. So you can't say that that lost the game. [Our offense] got off to a real slow start in the third quarter, and our defense stayed on the field a lot. So I think that was a big part in the second half."
Nebraska rolled up 438 yards of offense, rushed for 267 yards and easily won the time of possession (34:19 to 25:41). Most importantly, the Cornhuskers scored 26 points in the second half and held Penn State to three.
Furthermore, Zach Zwinak ran for a career-high 141 yards and a 50-yard TD, but he also lost a fumble at the Nebraska 5. McGloin was just 18-of-37 and threw a costly interception on PSU's third offensive play of the second half -- just like in the loss to Ohio State -- and Nebraska returned it to the Lions' 4 to set up a tying touchdown. Penn State also was flagged eight times for 80 yards.
So there was plenty of blame to go around, not just for the refs.
"Losing's a terrible feeling," O'Brien said. "It's miserable. It's absolutely miserable. It's like part of you dies."

Late last week over in Vatican City, our recently minted Holy Father – Pope Francis – commenting on the occasion of the "World Environmental Day" sponsored by the United Nations, spoke to the crowd outside his balcony in Saint Peter's Square urging them to take some personal responsibility for care of the environment , commenting that "nurturing and cherishing creation is a command that God gives not only at the beginning of history (in the story of creation in the book of Genesis) but to each of us…it is part of his plan; it means causing the world to grow responsibly, transforming it so that it may be a garden, a habitable place for everyone."
I reflect on these wise words of our Holy Father regarding the upkeep of a good garden as I sit here in my Office while the remnants of the first tropical storm of the 2013 hurricane season quickly approaches a city that in many ways is still struggling to recover from some of the devastation wrought by one of the final storms of last year. Of all of the many lessons that Sandy has taught those of us living in the metropolitan area, one of the greatest is just how dangerous an over-abundance of water can be, even to the most modern of cities. Many folks who live outside the city sometimes fail to realize that most of the City of New York is actually composed of a series of islands (in fact – the beautiful Bronx is the only area physically connected to the mainland United States). I think that living in places surrounded by water which, at the time, seemed to always stay within the concrete, wood and steel covered banks that contained it, inured many New Yorkers to the inherent power and danger of both storms and the sea: disastrous floods were something that happened to other people, in other places, far more vulnerable to the vicissitudes of Mother Nature… New York was too big –too modern – to have such worries. Hurricane Sandy changed all of that thinking, if not permanently, certainly for the lifetimes of those of us who lived through her most unwelcome visit to our otherwise welcoming city, and I assure you: I am not the only person in these parts who take the bleating "severe weather alerts" on my smartphone which now precede the approach of any major storm just that much more seriously.
The natural world can be a very fickle place, and just as it is often said that one man's trash is another's treasure, a natural element like water, for example, that in one place in overabundance can be a pestilence, can – in another circumstance- be as precious as gemstones. In a few days time, I will be traveling down to Tucson, Arizona for a work conference focused upon Catholic Teaching and migration. In making this journey from here in the Archdiocese of New York down to our sister Diocese on the Mexican border, I will be traveling down from an area in which many victims of storm and sea are still struggling seven months later to rebuild their lives, to a hotter and drier place being impacted by a drought so severe it covers over half of the continental United States (much of it exacerbated by growing agricultural, industrial and urban demands in those water stressed areas.)
Too much or too little – feast or famine –water, heat, storms, sea level…. it seems that in almost no place in our time of extremes do we ever anymore hear of anyplace where weather and living conditions are – in the comforting words of the fairy tale read to us as children – "…just right."…. and perhaps in all this there is a lesson.
As some of you readers will be aware, this blog post has been a long time in coming; the reason I know that some of you are aware of this is because several of you have been kind enough to contact me and let me know that you appreciate reading some of my musings on here, as well as very appropriately chiding me that, to use your own words, "February 7th"– the date of my last posting – "seems like a longgg time" to be silent….and certainly you are correct in this observation. It's not that things have been quiet either here or around the globe over the past quarter of a year, and certainly not for me personally or professionally. In the past three months I have – in no particular order – become an uncle for the second time, celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, led delegations to Washington and Albany in support of the dignity of the human person, and had yet another of my increasingly significant number of birthdays. Just as certainly, in Church circles, things have not been "business as usual" either, as Pope Benedict XVI's s once in a millennium resignation, and Pope Francis's now three month reign of successive "Papal firsts", easily demonstrate. No, in all of this time there has been such a succession of items worth comment on that my lack of commentary on any requires not just an apology, but also an explanation.
You see, despite being inundated with waves of information, of activity, of responsibility and experiences, inside – where the words come from – I was feeling at many times not deluge, but drought. The reasons for this are many, but I think a significant magnifier of this parched feeling for me came from a reluctant recognition on my part of the intransigence of wickedness in our world. It was caused by no particular event I can point a finger at but instead was cumulative, born of the litany of any of the recent affronts to human decency and dignity, be it the grisly horrors that Dr. Kermit Gosnell – and those like him – visit upon vulnerable women and their unborn children in a houses of horror euphemistically advertized as places of healing, to our increasingly sclerotic government's failure to enact legislation which could help to keep personal "weapons of mass destruction" out of the hands of those who would wreak havoc on the lives of the innocent in the now 6 month aftermath of Sandy Hook, to the return to these shores of the fundamentalist terror that plagues to many places in this world, blasphemously profaning the name of God for whom it has been allegedly committed. All of these – and several more – brought me to a place where for a time I felt a terrible surrender, where the words could not form, where my "glass is half full" worldview felt very, very empty.
Nature as they say abhors a vacuum, and just as the parched earth longs for the rain to restore to life to its hardened and cracked surface, as a Christian I knew that I could not remain in a dry, dead place: Jesus is Risen! He is alive and our well-spring! As Scripture reminds us, He came into the world so that we "might have life and have it more abundantly". The place that we are called to occupy as Christians is not a life-threatening place of drought, but a life-giving place of hope. It's not that – like in those stories told to us as children – the world around us, and everyone living within it, are going to all be forever "just right", and live "happily ever after". The Gospel is not a fairy tale, and Jesus came not to sugar-coat the world, but to redeem it. What the Resurrection means is not that wickedness and death have ceased to exist; it's that they cannot – and do not – have the final say: goodness and life and truth win in the end. It is in this belief that Christian hope is born and sustained, and the markers of this hope are made manifest all around us every day if we only take the care to notice. God is always present in our lives; we only have to take a closer look. In the past couple of months while I was in that place where the words would not come, God was there with me, reminding me the whole time that He makes all things new with the birth of my beloved nephew, that He is forever faithful in the Fifty years of marriage that my parents just celebrated, and that He is and remains my friend in the wonderful camaraderie I shared on my birthday with many friends, from many places, who call God by many names.
Liturgically in the Church, we are right now in what is known as "Ordinary Time", when the Easter Season commemorating Jesus' death, resurrection and ascensions into heaven is completed. I think that another way to see this period of Sundays leading up to the season of Advent is as a "season of Pentecost" , and extraordinary time when God's Holy Spirit – promised by Jesus prior to His Ascension and received by the disciples that first Pentecost Sunday – is alive and active in the world, allowing we Christian – and indeed all people of good will – to live in a climate of hope. It is up to us – despite the wickedness that we may still see around us – to recognize this, and – in the words of Our Holy Father Pope Francis that opened up this blog post – to bring water to the parched earth and cause "the world to grow responsibly, transforming it so that it may be a garden, a habitable place for everyone."
Chat more with you soon when I get back!

1. Students who will be attending Hamilton in the fall;
2. Graduated Hamilton students who will be attending graduate school in the fall;
3. Dependent children of Hamilton employees who will be attending college in the fall;
4. Dependent children of employees who are age 16 or over and attending high school;
5. Students attending other colleges in the fall.
In general, dependent children should not be hired to work in the same office or department as his/her parent. Under no circumstances should a dependent child be hired to work in an office or department where there is a direct reporting relationship through his/her parent or other relative.
International students who graduate in May and plan on working on campus in their field of study during the summer must have Optional Practical Training approval before beginning employment. See Allen Harrison in the Dean of Students office for details.
Students will be paid according to the Student Wage Guidelines. The goal of the wage scale is to recognize that some positions require more or less skill and/or effort and should be paid at a higher or lower rate. The appropriate salary grade for each position will be worked out between the hiring department and Human Resources. Please note: Hamilton students will continue to be paid bi-weekly during the summer, with FICA taxes withheld.
During the summer, all temporary summer employees who work for the College will be paid on the weekly staff payroll based on the grey Staff Time Sheet or Physical Plant time card submitted to payroll weekly.
All authorization forms and necessary payroll forms must be completed and submitted to Human Resources no later than the first day of a student's employment. In order for a student to be paid in a timely manner, paperwork must be submitted to Human Resources and timesheets/cards to Payroll by the dates listed on the Summer Employment Calendar.
In order for a summer employee to be paid, the following documents must be completed and submitted to Human Resources no later than the first day of work. Links to the forms can be found at "Forms on the Web" under Employment and Payroll or from Human Resources, x4302.
New payroll forms (Items 1 through 3) are required if the employee did not work for the College within the last year. New forms are also required if the employee wants to change their tax withholding information. Incomplete or missing forms will result in the entire packet being returned to the supervisor for completion and may delay timely payment of wages earned.
Summer employment forms are available at the links above or from Human Resources, x4302.
Housing is not allowed to be provided as part of an individual's compensation package. The only exception will be Summer Hosts and Resident Advisors who are hired to provide oversight of the residence halls during the summer. Information regarding summer housing availability and rates is available from Residential Life, x4023.
Meals are not allowed to be provided as part of an individual's compensation package. Summer Programs will attempt to provide housing that includes kitchen facilities whenever possible. All summer students must pay for meals that are eaten in the dining halls.
Exceptions to the guidelines above will only be approved in extreme circumstances and must be approved by the Vice President of Administration and Finance.

Black Friday is turning into Black Thanksgiving.
Retailers, in their never-ending effort to pump up their all-important holiday sales, are starting their Black Friday sales earlier than ever this year, with a growing number of sales spilling over into Thanksgiving.
If you want to snag a doorbuster deal at Target or Walmart, you'd better plan on skipping your Thanksgiving dessert, because both of those retailers announced last week that their Black Friday deals will begin on Thanksgiving evening, punching a huge hole into Thanksgiving's traditional role as a family holiday.
And if shoppers wolf down their turkey dinners and show up in droves to snag that $149 Xbox 360 bundle that's part of Walmart's 8 p.m. doorbusters, or the $349 Westinghouse 50-inch LCD television that Target will start selling at 9 p.m., you can bet that the holdouts who aren't kicking off their own Black Friday sales until the stroke of midnight will be thinking long and hard about opening on Thanksgiving evening next year, too.
"Thanksgiving is turning into a shopping holiday where retailers are opening their doors earlier and earlier every year," said Dan de Grandpre, chief executive of online deal site dealnews.com.
"Because of the timeliness of Walmart's Black Friday release, it's too late for other retailers to play catch up," he said. "However, expect retailers in 2013 to copy what Walmart is doing in 2012."
In the hunt for holiday sales, nothing is sacred, not even Thanksgiving.
You could see it coming, too. Walmart started its doorbusters last year at 10 p.m., its first encroachment on Thanksgiving. Other retailers, from Macy's to Kohl's to Target and Best Buy, stayed closed on Thanksgiving, but pushed their opening time to midnight to squeeze every last minute of shopping time out of Black Friday.
Last year, 24 percent of Black Friday shoppers were at stores by midnight, compared with just 9 percent in 2010, when most retailers waited until the wee hours of the morning (3 a.m. to 5 a.m.) to open their doors, said Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for the National Retail Federation.
This year, the action starts on Thanksgiving. Sears, for the first time, is opening its stores at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, joining its sister company, Kmart, the granddaddy of Thanksgiving shopping, which has opened on the holiday for the last 21 years.
Toys R Us once again will open on Thanksgiving, throwing its doors open at 9 p.m. More than 1,100 Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic stores will be open on Thanksgiving. Michael's craft stores are opening at 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
In Niagara Falls, the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, is opening at 10 p.m. for the second straight year and hosting a tailgate party in its parking lot beginning at 9 p.m., said Julie Clark, the mall's marketing manager. Shoppers planning to take a catnap for a couple of hours after dinner can even sign up to get a wake-up text message from the mall.
"It's become such a traditional event," Clark said. "We're calling it our fashionably late sale."
Meanwhile, a number of big retailers – from Kohl's to Macy's to Best Buy – are sticking with what they did last year by opening at the stroke of midnight.
Walmart also is upping the ante on Black Friday doorbusters this year by guaranteeing that shoppers who are in line for three of its electronics doorbusters between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving are guaranteed to get them. Even if a Walmart store runs out of the $38 LG Blu-ray player or the 32-inch Emerson LCD television for $148 or the $75 Walmart gift card that comes with the purchase of a 16-GB Apple iPad 2, shoppers still will be able to pay for those items and have them shipped to the store in time for Christmas.
But there's no denying that Thanksgiving is becoming a more significant day for holiday shopping. Last year, almost 29 million people shopped on Thanksgiving, according to the National Retail Federation. That was only a third of the 86 million people who shopped on Black Friday, but it's a big increase from just three years ago, when Thanksgiving foot traffic was less than a quarter of Black Friday's horde.
So retailers are scrambling to get a head start on what ShopperTrak, which measures retail foot traffic, says is the busiest shopping day of the year, with consumers spending an estimated $11.4 billion last year, almost 7 percent more than in 2010. The Saturday before Christmas is the second-busiest shopping day, and six of the top 10 sales days during the 2011 holiday season fell during the eight days prior to Christmas.
Even so, retailers have been dangling more and more sales before consumers throughout November in an effort to get them to start buying earlier. More than 40 percent of consumers say they start their holiday shopping before Halloween, the retail federation said.
"Consumers are increasingly viewing Black Friday as irrelevant: They start looking earlier and buying later, and are moving online," according to a report by consulting firm Booz & Co. "As a result, retailers are discounting even earlier, seeking to convert these early shoppers."
That's especially apparent online, where Internet retailers are offering a steady stream of "pre-Black Friday" sales, and those deals often are just as good as what shoppers will find in stores on Black Friday. Dealnews.com found that 70 percent of the in-store deals at Target and Walmart on Black Friday last year were available online, either on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, for the same price or less.
"Stores are having sales year-round," said Arun Jain, a University at Buffalo marketing professor. "For the average customer, I'm not sure if Black Friday is the best time to shop."
Not to mention that you'll get to enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner and some family time, too.

Affordable Sleeper Chairs & Ottomans
Although we looked at the Best Sleeper Sofas of 2012 a couple weeks ago, there are small spaces where even a sofa bed won't fit. In those instances, sleeper chairs and ottomans may work in a pinch. While they may not be comfortable enough to sleep on every night, convertible chairs and ottomans expand for quick and easy small space guest rooms.
• Cushy Sleeper Sofa from PB Teen $899
Although described as a sofa, this sleeper measures only 47" wide - just small enough to be considered a chair.
• Tia Convertible Leatherette Daybed from AllModern $507.99
This modern chair, reminiscent of the Twilight Sleeper Sofa from DWR, unfolds to create a bed.
• Abbyson Living Cosmo Convertible Chair from BJs $579.99
This simple gray chair includes a click-clack mechanism, allowing the back to be adjusted to multiple angles and also to lay flat to create a bed.
• Castro Convertible Ottoman $699
By day it's a simple unassuming ottoman, perfect for propping up your feet and watching TV. By night, it unfolds to create a bed, a welcoming respite for a last minute guest.
• Futon Chaise Lounge from FutonCreations $549
This futon looks stylish as a chair and, folded flat, creates a dashing little bed.
• Hippo Convertible Chair from FutonCreations $399
Slouchy and overstuffed, this chair would bring a casual comfort to a small space – whether as a chair or, when unfolded, as a bed.
• PS LOVAS from Ikea $209
With casters for ease of use and a low price tag for bargain shopping, this offering from Ikea is sure to be a favorite. Make it your own by creating a DIY slip cover for the mattress.
• Sleepy Twin Sleeper Chair from JCPenney $600
Of all the sleeper chairs we've seen, this model is the most unassuming. It has also gotten rave reviews, both on the Penney's website and here on Apartment Therapy.

Project management: Don't run the risk of being unprepared
Imagine your business has taken on a major project — let's say to install wooden fencing around a new subdivision. You've planned everything out: your budget, your schedule and the resources you'll need. Sounds like a fool-proof plan — what could possibly go wrong?
Therein lies the problem: if you haven't planned for what could possibly go wrong, if something does go wrong, the results can be problematic. What if your lumber supplier has a lumberyard fire just before your delivery date? The odds of this happening are slim; however, managing risks to your project is about preparing for possible occurrences that are outside your project plan.
This is not to suggest that you fireproof the lumberyard. You want to prepare for the possible outcome: a problem with your supplier that ends up causing issues with your schedule and budget. How quickly can you get a new shipment of lumber, and how much will it cost you? What will you do with your displaced workers? One setback can often disrupt your entire project.
That's why it's vital for you to prepare for risk when you plan your project. By mapping out the potential problems that could arise during the course of your project and deciding how you will deal with such problems should they arise, you will be going in well-prepared.
You will want to tackle this task with all the major players involved in your project. If you're working with knowledgeable suppliers and skilled tradespeople, you can draw from their wealth of valuable experience. Try holding a group brainstorming session. By bringing everyone together, you can probably plan for many of the obstacles you might face. Once your group has listed all potential risks, the next step will be to determine how to deal with each problem.
A solid risk management plan can help you move forward with your project, confident in the knowledge that you won't easily be caught off guard. Keep in mind that risk management is just one of several important aspects of project management. For more information on managing your projects, visit our Project Management page.
This is so true. Well said!
So many people jump headlong into projects without considering risk. Glad you made this point.
As a project manager, I whole-heartedly agree that managing risk has to be a top priority on every project, no matter how big or small. Unfortunately, most of us (myself included) learn this the hard way before we take risk management seriously. Any tips or advice you can pick-up from helpful websites, suppliers, subcontractors, etc. can keep you ahead of the curve so you are prepared when problems arise.
Some great info here, thanks!
Project Risk Management is one of the key area out of nine knowledge areas.
Risks should be considered as Opportunities and Threats for positive and negative outcomes respectively. There should must be a proper risk management plan developed through various techniques & experts handling before the execution of project. More risks considered before execution, more confident will be the project manager and more successful will be the project.
Thank You

The agreement, which was signed Monday by the heads of the two hospitals, will enable WCA Hospital to retain control of the institution and the services it provides while giving the Jamestown community access to the expertise and resources of UPMC Hamot, which is part of an academic medical center.
"The greatest benefit of our affiliation is keeping high-quality care close to home," said Betsy Wright, WCA Hospital president and chief executive officer, in a statement released Tuesday.
"Community hospitals across the nation are facing extraordinary challenges in today's uncertain health environment. We are very excited to work alongside UPMC Hamot to provide greater opportunity moving forward into the future of health care delivery, including our ability to recruit physicians and provide additional local specialty services to the benefit of everyone we serve," Wright said.
The hospitals will begin working immediately on collaborations in a number of support and clinical areas, hospital administrators said.
WCA Hospital, which services much of the population of Chautauqua County, is a 342-bed facility and is southwestern New York's largest nonprofit health care provider.
UPMC Hamot is a 412-bed facility and a Level II trauma center. It has a 400-member medical staff and 3,100 ancillary employees.

In April of 1984, at age 49, I had a routine annual physical that showed an elevated protein level in the blood. I felt great and had no symptoms whatsoever. However, my family physician was able to detect a tumor in the lymph system in my right axilla, the pyramidal space between the upper lateral part of the chest and the medial side of the arm. My childhood best friend was a doctor at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center so, of course, I called him right away. He arranged for an appointment with a surgeon, and I was scheduled for a biopsy.
The biopsy revealed that the mass was a plasmacytoma in the family of multiple myeloma. The recommendation was to shrink the tumor with radiation, then remove it surgically. After six weeks of radiation, a CT scan revealed that the tumor size had not diminished. In August of 1984, I was scheduled for surgery. All the nodes in the axilla were found to be involved but there was a distinct single tumor that was quite large, about the size of a golf ball. The surgeon removed 40 to 50 nodes but said to me, "I didn't get them all." We realized that, although the presentation was at a single location, the disease was systemic.
My doctor informed me that a case such as mine had never before been seen at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and he recommended that I go to Mayo Clinic to see Dr. Robert A. Kyle, who was known to follow these kind of tumors. A month after my surgery, I traveled to Minnesota to see the wonderful Dr. Kyle. He looked at me and said, "You have monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). You've never had a symptom. You've had radiation, which I would have recommended as well because it normally works. Now, there's nothing to treat so I wouldn't do anything." I asked, "You mean that I should just live with this?" "Absolutely," he said, "Go home!" So, that's exactly what I did.
But I am just not the kind of person to go home and do nothing. I didn't know why I got cancer but I knew that there must be something I could do to improve my health. One obvious change I could make was to improve my diet. So I became a macrobiotic eater, eliminating all animal products, caffeine, refined sugars, and alcohol. From that point on, my diet has consisted primarily of grains, vegetables, and fruit.
Between 1984 and 1992, I saw Dr. Kyle at Mayo every 18 months and, in between visits, I would mail him a serum sample every 6 months. Over the years, my IgG levels continued to creep up but I still had no symptoms. In 1992, a CT scan revealed another soft tissue tumor adjacent to the right axilla in the super-clavicular area. My IgG levels had reached 3200 and Dr. Kyle decided that it was time for chemotherapy. I was very reluctant to start treatment but Dr. Kyle said, "If you were my brother, this is what I would recommend."
Dr. Kyle put me on 7-day cycles of melphalan and prednisone, followed by 6 weeks off treatment. The chemotherapy worked brilliantly! The protein numbers went down to 1500 and the tumor size shrank a bit. I had no side effects other than losing some sleep due to the prednisone. Actually, I felt even better during the chemo because the steroid made me feel quite pumped!
After the eighth treatment, my blood counts were no longer rebuilding fast enough for Dr. Kyle's liking, so he started me on another round of...doing nothing. Once again, with the passing years, my blood counts gradually climbed higher and my tumor increased in size. Other tumors appeared and, in 2000, one of the newer tumors began to grow at a rapid rate. Once again, I traveled to Mayo Clinic to see Dr. Kyle, and I was scheduled for surgery. The tumor removed at six in the morning, and I was out walking along the street of Rochester by noon.
Although Dr. Kyle has since retired from clinical practice, I continue to see him in the lab, and Dr. Philip Greipp has taken over my care. I've developed another tumor at the base of my neck that's quite large but it doesn't impair me, although it is beginning to interfere with my neck movements, such as when I drive and need to look over my shoulder. My M-spike is at 4.2 and my IgG is up to 4000.
Dr. Greipp noted that my numbers would normally indicate treatment but because I am such a healthy patient, and the Mayo approach is to treat each patient individually, he has opted to repeat the protocol of melphalan and prednisone that had worked so well for me in 1992.
It has been almost 22 years after my initial diagnosis. I am now 70 years old and I lead a normal, active life. I work every day as a structural engineer in a business I started 40 years ago. I exercise. I do a lot of cooking and food preparation for the family. Before the diagnosis, my idea of lunch was a slice of pizza in a phone booth at 3 o'clock in the afternoon while making business calls. Now, when I prepare food, I consciously think that I am doing something good for my health. My wife has made some adjustments to my new way of eating but she still enjoys a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. We have now been married for 50 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren.
I give tremendous credit to Mayo Clinic for the excellent care I have received and for their approach to each patient as an individual, not a statistic. I am fortunate to have found Dr. Kyle and Dr. Greipp. And it was through Dr. Kyle that I found the IMF, which has been a wonderful educational resource. I know that I am very lucky to not have a typical presentation of myeloma. I also know that there are more and more long-term myeloma survivors out there. It's important to know that you can lead a good life—and a long one—even with myeloma.

The Monuments Men actor whisked his new girlfriend, British lawyer Amal Alamuddin, off for a jaunt to Tanzania to watch wildlife.
Exclusive photos in the new issue of PEOPLE show the couple on one of their first trips together after romance rumors swirled when they were spotted dining together back in October.
Clooney and Alamuddin have also been spotted vacationing together in the Seychelles.
The couple recently turned up together for a special screening of Clooney's latest movie on Feb. 18 at the White House alongside President Obama.
When they had a nightcap at a local hotel afterward, "his arm was around her shoulder and she had hers around his," an observer told PEOPLE at the time. "They just seemed very, very together."
"He's with someone who is a very accomplished attorney. She isn't someone who is pursuing a career in acting or entertainment," says the source. "She's on his level."

October is upon us, and with the arrival of cooler temperatures and the leaves assuming their bright array of fall colors, it's also time to remember that the 2011 municipal election is just over a month away, set for Tuesday, Nov. 8.
On the ballots for Mifflin, Juniata and surrounding counties are a number of Democratic and Republican candidates vying for a wide array of countywide and local municipal offices, including: county auditor, county commissioner, county coroner, district attorney, prothonotary, magisterial district judge, and school board directors.
The Sentinel urges all Juniata Valley residents who are eligible to vote to exercise their civic responsibility by casting ballots in the upcoming election. I also encourage area residents to take advantage of the opportunity to submit election-based Letters to the Editor and Open Line comments to The Sentinel. With that said, I also would like to offer some guidelines to our readership regarding these letters and Open Line comments.
Article Photos
Frank Jost
First, the deadlines regarding the Nov. 8, 2011, municipal election are as follows:
Oct. 25 - deadline to submit election-based letters to the editor,
Oct. 25 - deadline to
phone in election-based Open
Line comments,
Oct. 29 - last date of publication for election-based letters to the editor,
Oct. 29 - last date of publication for election-based Open Line comments,
Nov. 1 - deadline to submit election-based rebuttal letters to the editor,
Nov. 1 - deadline to phone in election-based rebuttal Open Line comments.
Nov. 5 - last date of publication for election-based rebuttal letters to the editor, and
Nov. 5 - last date of publication for election-based rebuttal Open Line comments.
Second, I'd like to offer some clarification on what The Sentinel views as appropriate content for election-based letters and comments.
Letters and comments from the general public supporting a particular candidate or expressing an opinion on a significant election-related issue will be considered for publication. Letters pertaining to the election submitted by the candidates themselves typically are not eligible for publication.
Any letter or comment containing personal attacks or unfounded accusations against a candidate will not be published; The Sentinel reserves the right to determine what constitutes a personal attack or unfounded accusation.
Regarding rebuttal letters and comments: These should be limited to readers presenting a different or opposing point of view on an election-related issue previously addressed by an election letter or comment published in The Sentinel. Rebuttals are not intended to be a means by which an individual can simply criticize one candidate and then express their support for another - rebuttals are to focus on the issues, not the candidates.
Again, The Sentinel reserves the right to determine what constitutes an appropriate rebuttal letter or comment.
Letters- preferably typed - must include the author's name and address as well as a telephone number for clarification and confirmation purposes. Telephone numbers are not printed, unless requested by the letter's author.
The suggested length for letters is 250 words. This limit may be waived, space permitting. The letter writer must live within The Sentinel's coverage area, read the newspaper online or have a local connection that is identified as part of the letter.
Submit letters one of the following ways:
Mail - Letter to the editor, The Sentinel, P.O. Box 588, Lewistown, PA 17044;
Virtual Newsroom at www.lewistownsentinel.com;
Deliver - corner of Sixth Street and Summit Drive, Pleasant Acres, Lewistown.
Questions regarding these guidelines should be directed to me via email at email@example.com, or by phone at 248-6741, ext. 119.
Frank Jost is managing editor tor of The Sentinel.

This part is well known as the most beautiful and peaceful residential district of central Prague with a great choice of restaurants, bars and shops in the vicinity. It is away from
the crowds of tourists, but close to all the important city sights by foot, also by public transport. A tramway, bus and subway stops are nearby.
Houses in the district of Vinohrady were built as residences between 1900 - 1940, including our house which was built by our family in 1936. After the communists usurped power in 1948, the house became the property of the state until the "Velvet Revolution" in 1989. Shortly after this time, a general reconstruction of the building began and the apartment for tourists were established.
This modern apartment is now furnished in a charming wood motif, and includes a bathroom and WC, a kitchenette with basic cooking utensils provided, together with a refrigerator, cooker, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, pots and pan, bottles and cans openers, tee, koffee, sugar, spice...
Satellite TV and computer connected to internet. Wi-fi available, too.

We are the family with two kids and stayed by Michal for one week. We think it is ideal place for staying in Prague. The apartment is very close to metro and tram station. If you (as we) like to walk it is only 15-20 minute to the historical center.
This part of Prague is very quiet and beautiful. It was just nice to walk through the neighborhood. The nearest park is less than a ten minute walk.
The apartment is very comfortable, clean and surprisingly quiet, equipped with all you need. We immediately felt at home. Michal was ready to help us in everything that we needed.

Thank You, Michal!

Michael Preston last played for Heidelberg in 2010, but the star receiver hasn't stopped keeping tabs on his school.
Preston, now a member of the Tennessee Titans' practice squad, said he was so nervous for Heidelberg's game with Baldwin-Wallace last week that he couldn't follow it.
"I got so nervous during the BW game, I shut it down," Preston said.
He found out what happened later on Twitter, with players and others writing about the finish. Preston was proud of the win, but also proud of Quentin Rembert, who blocked the Yellow-Jackets' potential game-winning field goal. Rembert and Preston were not only teammates at Heidelberg, but also at Euclid High School.
"When I saw Rembert blocked that kick," Preston said, "I lost it."
Preston keeps a close eye on his school, all while trying to fulfill his dream of playing in the NFL. He has been on the Titans' practice squad for the past two seasons, still waiting for his chance to be activated for a regular season game.
"I'm taking it one day at a time, leaving the rest of it up to my agent," Preston said. "I'm going to go in next year in training camp, be more confident and more prepared."
As a member of Tennessee's practice squad, Preston simulates opponents' top receivers.
At Heidelberg, Preston was the top receiver.
Preston was one of those athletes who doesn't come around often. There were times, in his junior and senior years at Heidelberg, where he made catches and routes look effortless. They weren't and that was the key to his success. I don't think coach Mike Hallett or anybody else knew what they were getting when they recruited Preston, but what they got was one of the best receivers in program history. He had more than 2,700 yards receiving and 27 touchdowns, combining with quarterback Andrew Miller to create a connection that kept coordinators awake at night. Assuming that coordinators sleep in the first place.
But for all Preston accomplished, the teams he was on never did better than .500 in a season. His final season, 2010, saw the Princes go 5-5. I asked him if he wishes he could play in Saturday's playoff game with Wittenberg.
The answer was a quick "no."
"I feel like I did my part; this is these guys' journey," he said. "I will be proud to be there and watch."
Because the Titans are on a bye week, Preston said he's planning on coming to Frost-Kalnow Stadium Saturday for the Wittenberg game, returning to a stadium where he had a number of huge games.
But Preston said he will keep his distance, out of respect to the players.
"I don't want to be a distraction," he said. "Those guys have their own leadership."
