"Each state wants its allocation," Papp said, adding that the Coast Guard has become "the treasury," and it keeps running out of coin.
As the crew spotted globs of oil about noon, just a couple hundred yards off Orange Beach near Perdido Pass, Papp said the overall plan is to attack as much of the oil as possible offshore. Boom provides a second layer of defense.
Orange Beach officials said a patch of oil, likely the one that was spotted, made its way onshore at Perdido Key about 3 p.m.
To keep track of the Gulf of Mexico oil slick, visit www.skytruth.org or follow its Twitter feed.
To see updated projection maps related to the oil spill in the Gulf, visit the Deepwater Horizon Response Web site established by government officials.
How to help: Volunteers eager to help cope with the spill and lessen its impact on the Gulf Coast environment and economy.
HOW YOU CAN HELP will appear daily in the Press-Register until there is no longer a need for volunteers in response to the oil spill disaster. If you have suggestions for a story, or if you belong to an organization in need of such help, please call Press-Register Editor Mike Marshall at 251-219-5674 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Forecasts showed Tuesday that persistent southerly winds are moving the oil slick toward the coastline, with Dauphin Island east to Freeport, Fla., likely continuing to have globs of oil and tarballs coming ashore.
"I'm wondering if there's ever been anywhere in the world that's been boomed off this much," Papp said through a headset as he flew over Fowl River, which was double-boomed in some areas, even triple-boomed in one spot.
"Not that I'm aware of," replied Capt. Steve Poulin, who is overseeing oil spill response at the Sector Mobile command center for Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida Panhandle. "And we're still not finished."
So far, Poulin said, 1 million feet of boom has been deployed in the three states. And every day, more comes to a staging ground in Theodore and is distributed.
"We already tried to boom off this," Poulin said as the Jayhawk flew over the Dauphin Island bridge. "It didn't work."
There is a finite amount of the coveted bright orange and yellow boom, which has been placed along estuaries and other sensitive areas, such as marshes. The beaches remain mostly bare.
Gov. Bob Riley has complained to federal officials -- including Obama and the Coast Guard's National Incident Commander, Thad Allen -- that Louisiana is getting the bulk of the boom.
Oil has been inundating Louisiana's coast for weeks.
On Tuesday, Riley praised federal officials, saying Alabama has received 330,000 more feet of boom over the last couple of days, exceeding the needs outlined in the state's contingency plan.
The state went from 329,100 feet of boom deployed by Thursday to 436,900 feet of boom deployed now. Another 258,025 feet is now staged, which Riley said is more than enough to meet the plan and add an extra layer around sensitive estuaries.On Tuesday, Papp reiterated the Coast Guard's assertion that it's more important to boom off estuaries and wetlands than beaches, which are easier to clean.
"They would love for us to boom off everything," Papp said during the flight. But that's not practical. Rivers push boom outward and rough water topples it.
"The real challenge is that once you get the boom set, you have to be out here constantly monitoring it."
"It was never meant to stay out there for weeks at a time," Papp said.
Barges have now been stationed at Dauphin Island's Katrina Cut and Baldwin County's Perdido Pass to monitor boom that was recently put out. Officials have said it has been difficult to seal off those vital areas because of rough currents.
Skimmer boats were operating Tuesday within the Katrina Cut -- where the island was sliced during its namesake hurricane -- and off the public beach area of Dauphin Island to sop up reported tarballs.
And the Coast Guard Cutter Opal was about 35 miles off Gulf Shores skimming oil.
About an hour into the two-hour helicopter flight, a line of small patches of mousse-like oil and oil attached to seaweed were spotted about three miles off the coast of Orange Beach. A smaller patch was even closer to land, just a couple of hundred yards out, near Perdido Pass.
Officials on the helicopter radioed the coordinates in and asked that skimmer boats be directed to the sites to clean it up.
"Our general theory is that we want to pick up oil, as much as possible, with skimmers. Some of it's going to get through, though," Papp said. He said it's not a total "defeat" when oil comes ashore, but it is disappointing.
He said 170 vessels, including local boats hired as part of BP PLC's Vessels of Opportunity program, were performing skimming operations Tuesday.Aside from the Perdido Key landfall, Baldwin's beaches, where cleanup crews have become ubiquitous, appeared mostly clean Tuesday. Cleanup workers were stationed at tents erected every 500 feet or so along the beaches, and with no oil to remove, spent their time shoveling up sargassum that washed ashore throughout the day.
Meanwhile, Baldwin County residents are complaining that miles of coastline from Point Clear to the mouth of Weeks Bay are exposed.
Wayne Dyess, the planning and zoning director for the county, said officials have prioritized the use of boom, with wetlands and marshes having priority. Open beaches got second priority, with bulkheaded areas considered last.
Riley was in Robertsdale on Tuesday, meeting with about 150 members of the Alabama National Guard, which has been deployed from Ashland to assist residents and businesses with claims related to the ongoing spill.
The governor said relatively few people, so far, have made claims. For example, out of 1,000 charter fishing boats on the Alabama Gulf Coast, only 70 claims have been filed, he said.

When you receive your confirmation by email, the details must be carefully checked. If there are any typographical errors you should inform the owner or its agents within 24 hours by email or by telephone on 315-789-1144. This does not however, absolve you from your obligations under the terms of this agreement.
Please note that there is no cooling off period in NY State for this type of business transaction. Once our online reservation system or the owner or its agents otherwise issue a written confirmation to you, this signifies that the owner or their agents have entered into a contract with you, which is subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and creates a legally binding e-commerce contractual agreement between you and the owners or their agents.
2. Paying for your property.
When you book your property you will be required to pay the amount due by credit card preferably by using our online reservation system. Your reservation is then confirmed in real time. Your credit card will only be charged 50% of the rental amount as a deposit and the balance of 50% of the rental amount will automatically be debited to the same credit card 6 weeks prior to the commencement of your vacation. Note: Short stay rentals of up to 6 nights are subject to any applicable sales tax at the prevailing rate which if we are required to collect for the Inland Revenue is already included in our advertised rates.
A 3% occupancy tax is added to all reservations as required by Ontario County. Reservations may also be made over the telephone by calling 315-789-1144 but in any event subject to the exact same terms and conditions as contained herein. Therefore, telephone reservations are only accepted with your explicit verbal consent to these terms and conditions of booking and hire on which we rely.
Important Note:
The pricing structure for our largest properties (Canadice Log Home and Canandaigua Log Homes) are formulated on an inclusive occupancy of 6 people sharing throughout the year except our Peak Season rates which are based on an inclusive occupancy of 10 people sharing.
Above the included number there is an additional daily charge of $39 per extra adult or $210 per week (18 years of age or over) or $30 per extra child or $140 per week (5-17 years of age) up to a maximum of 12 people sharing including use of a double futon with all linen, sheets and towels provided.
The pricing structure for our larger properties (Seneca Cottage, Cayuga Cottage, Keuka Cottage, Conesus Log Home and Otisco Log Home) is formulated on an inclusive occupancy of 4 people sharing throughout the year except our Peak Season rates which are based on an inclusive occupancy of 6 people sharing.
Above the included number there is an additional daily charge of $39 per extra adult or $210 per week (18 years of age or over) or $30 per extra child or $140 per week (5-17 years of age) up to a maximum of 8 people sharing including use of a double futon with all linen, sheets and towels provided.

Above the included number there is an additional daily charge of $39 per extra adult or $210 per week (18 years of age or over) or $30 per extra child or $140 per week (5-17 years of age) up to a maximum of 6 people sharing.

Please understand that our pricing structure is formulated to be fair and equitable and is based on our guest's honesty and trust. Therefore, should the occupancy be increased without our prior consent and it is subsequently discovered that you have increased the number of people staying in the property during your stay, you will be charged the additional observed occupancy for the whole rental period.
We believe that our pricing structure is highly competitive compared to other accommodation providers in the region and this helps both couples, small families and groups achieve their budget and offers exceptional value for money compared to the cost of a suite at a local hotel and at Cobtree, you get to stay in a fully equipped deluxe home.
3. Cancellation or changes to your booking by the owner or its agents.
Neither the owner nor its agents expect to make any changes to your reservation, but occasionally problems occur and reservations have to be changed or canceled. If this does happen, the owner or its agents will contact the party leader by telephone, e-mail or letter to advise of any such changes or cancellation. In the event of cancellation, you will receive a full refund. Whilst every endeavor will be made by the owner or its agents to secure for you alternative accommodation, the owner's and agent's liability will be wholly restricted to $100.00 in full and final settlement of such an eventuality.
The management of Cobtree reserves the right to provide our guests with an alternative cabin / cottage on site to the one they have originally reserved should there be any unforeseen circumstances that renders the property inhabitable. If this results in an upgrade, there will not be any additional charge to our guests. However if this results in a downgrade our guests will be refunded the difference in rental.
4. Circumstances beyond the control of the owner or its agents. (Force Majeure)
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these conditions, the owner or its agents shall not be liable, jointly or individually, for any changes, cancellations, effects on your vacation, loss or damage suffered by you or for any failure by the owner or its agents to perform or properly perform any of their respective obligations to you which is due to any events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of either the owner or its agents referred to as "Force Majeure" in these conditions. By way of example only this includes, fire, flood, exceptional weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics destruction, or damage of the property by any cause other than negligence by the owner or its agents. No compensation, expenses or costs of any description will be payable in such circumstances by the owner or its agents to you in the event of "Force Majeure".
5. Advertised details

6. Agricultural Lands
It is the policy of New York State and the Town of Geneva to conserve, protect and encourage the development and improvement of agricultural land for the production of food and other products and also for its natural and ecological value. This notice is to inform you that the property you are renting lies in an agricultural area and that farming activities occur within the district. Such farming activities may include, but not be limited to activities that cause noise, dust and odor. Furthermore, the properties being located in a rural area there exists the inevitable, unavoidable, occasional incidence of insects, flies, rodents and other wildlife infestations that manifest themselves from time to time as well as the potential for an infestation of Cimex lectularius Linnaeus. Such incidents are immediately addressed by the owners when such occurrence is brought to their attention and you agree to hold the owners or their agents harmless in such circumstances.
7. Liability and Indemnity
You acknowledge that the use of the properties without continuous on- site owner supervision presents inherent risks. You agree to provide supervision for all members of your group, including without limitation minors in your group and minors who might be guests or invitees, and to take due care to assure that the premises and the personal property used in connection therewith are occupied and used in a safe and careful manner.

No liability or responsibility for any theft or damage to any vehicle whilst parked on the owner's private property will be accepted by the owner or its insurers.
8. If you change or cancel your booking
If you want to change or cancel your booking once the confirmation has been made, you must contact the owner or its agents immediately you become aware of the need to do so.

Any credit card collection or refund charges that we incur for the transaction will also be deducted from any refund to be made.
Important Notice:
The only exception to this policy is for reservations that are made for one single property booked and in the event of a verifiable bereavement in your immediate family or member of your group the owners or its agents may consider the issue of a "rain Check" redeemable against a future reservation to be taken within 12 months from the date of the original booking providing that such event occurs within 4 weeks prior to your arrival and, it must be stressed that they are under no contractual obligation to do so.
In the event of cancellation of a booking made for more than one property that is to say, multiple properties reserved together, a refund of any monies paid will only be made if we are able to on-sell the reservations made for each separate property, to other customers in whole or Pro rata for the original period booked less an administration charge of $50 per property being deducted from any refund made together with any credit card collection or refund charges that we have occurred for the transaction.
In any event, the owners or their agents will not accept the cancellation or curtailment of the paid rental after check in or in the event of a no show.
We therefore highly recommend that you consider taking out suitable vacation/trip/cancellation insurance from the recommended providers that we have provided links to from our web site or please contact your insurance broker.

Real estate values in the Charleston area have largely rebounded on the residential side.
And if a recent large transaction in East Cooper is any indication, values on the commercial side also are on the mend.
A company affiliated with a California real estate investment firm snapped up Patriots Plaza shopping center in Mount Pleasant for $24.6 million, a 16 percent premium to what the seller paid before the last recession, Charleston County property records show.
The buyer was SCG Patriots Plaza LLC, which is affiliated with San Francisco-based Stockbridge Capital Group. A company representative did not respond to requests for comment about the deal last week.
Patriots Plaza is one of the town's busiest community shopping centers. Its main anchor tenant is the region's only Whole Foods Market, followed by a Staples office supply store
The seller of the 116,868- square-foot property was Patriots Plaza Inc., which was backed by an unidentified New Hampshire-based pension fund that, in turn, was represented by Hart Realty Advisors of Connecticut. It had owned the center since mid-2006, when it paid $21.25 million.
Situated off U.S. Highway 17 at Houston Northcutt Boulevard, Patriots Plaza is more than 25 years old and mostly occupied. The property has changed hands several times, fetching $4.1 million in 1984, $8.7 million in 1999 and $13.5 million in 2004.
Smells like team spirit
If wearing school colors isn't enough for Clemson and University of South Carolina fans, now they can smell like their favorite in-state places of higher learning.
Masik Collegiate Fragrances recently teamed up with the two public institutions to create their official school scents, which were inspired by on-campus characteristics.
Masik said it developed the men's and women's fragrances and university officials tested them to choose which ones became the official perfume and cologne of each.
Scents for USC were inspired by the Horseshoe, the Gamecocks, roses, apples and "the Southern charm of Columbia," said company CEO Katie Masik.
Clemson's scents reflect the school's orange and purple colors, with ingredients such as mandarin and orange blossom.
"I wanted to create a fragrance line which is different than what's out there," Masik said. "Scent is really closely linked to memory, and I thought if we could link a smell to a very memorable life experience, it could spark memories of the past. And for me, a very memorable life experience was college."
The fragrances are sold online at Masik.com, and locally at Belk in Citadel Mall and Northwoods Mall. A 1.7-ounce bottle fetches $39.50.
Business zone
Any time a Fortune 500 company asks to change the land use for several parcels of property, it raises an eyebrow. Such was the case with MeadWestvaco recently.
The packaging giant and mega-real estate owner and developer wants Dorchester County to rezone nearly 1,000 acres along a rail line near U.S. Highway 78 and S.C. Highway 27 to industrial use.
"We have requested a change in zoning to restrict it for business uses," said Jennifer Howard, spokeswoman for the company's Summmerville-based real estate development division. "We don't have any users identified. It's just a step in the process as we market and develop industrial campuses - to secure zoning which is compatible with the intended use."
Name game
Craneous Maximus sounds Latin for some prehistoric creature. But it's actually a 67-foot-tall blue and white crane that picks up and sets down shipping containers at the State Ports Authority's new "inland" port in the Upstate.
The machinery moniker comes courtesy of Fermin Redondo, a fifth-grader at Crestview Elementary School in Greer. Fermin was among 200 Upstate students who entered a port-sponsored contest to name five pieces of lifting equipment at the SPA facility.
The other winning entries:
Atlas, from Ashley Sell, a fourth-grader at Woodland Elementary School.
Billy Bob Blue, from Annika Smallwood, a fourth-grader at Skyland Elementary.
GRRRR, from Levi Turner, a third-grader at Chandler Creek Elementary School.
Iron Spider, from Amelia Cowart, a third-grader at Buena Vista Elementary School.
The names will be painted on the equipment, and the winners were awarded $500 from the SPA for their schools.
It's a longstanding tradition for the state maritime agency to recruit students to name its symbolic cranes.
Some examples at the Port of Charleston are Big Momma Blue, Captain Hook, Daddy Long Legs and Wando Work Horse.
Back in business
South Carolina's former top insurance regulator has retuned to the private sector.
Starr Insurance Holdings Inc. said it has hired Eleanor Kitzman as vice president with "broad regulatory, management and operational responsibilities across the company's domestic and international businesses."
During her time in South Carolina, Kitzman was best known as the TV pitchwoman for her Driver's Choice Insurance business.
She went on to become director of the S.C. Department of Insurance and executive director of the state Budget and Control Board. She left the state in 2011 to become insurance commissioner in Texas for Gov. Rick Perry.
"I look forward to utilizing both my public and private sector experience to assist the company in continuing its remarkable growth and performance trajectory." Kitzman said in a written statement.
Her boss at New York-based Starr is well-known among Wall Street types: Maurice R. "Hank" Greenberg was CEO of American International Group Inc. from 1967 until March 2005. The feisty 88-year-old insurance veteran named his new venture after AIG's founder, Cornelius Vander Starr.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
In the spirit of this wonderful day, here's a letter from a reader symbolizing how even those with the greatest challenges can often find ample reason to take stock of themselves and give thanks for what they do have.
Bill McGurk says he has "never forgotten a significant lesson that I learned about 'helping the handicapped' way back in the middle of WWII when I was riding a civilian train crosscountry from the east coast to the west coast during a military transfer.
"At one point during the transfer, an obviously wounded and crippled soldier on crutches entered the car at the far end where I was sitting.
"Without hesitation, I jumped up and ran to assist him to a seat. Much to my surprise, he did not appreciate it and seemed upset, saying, 'I can handle it. I'm OK.'
"To this day, it's a lesson I've never forgotten. Many people who are disabled or injured are determined to do everything they can to take care of themselves — and that is a blessing that we must respect!
"Regardless of our good intentions, we should be available, but not overbearing."
I did some random noodling around online trying to find poems with Thanksgiving overtones. The American Academy of Poets has a post (Poets.org) referencing verses that reflect the essence of Thanksgiving. In one of the poems cited, "The Pumpkin," 19th century poet John Greenleaf Whittier sings about remembrance and return, a celebration of abundance, sustenance and love (in part):
And the prayer, which my mouth is too full to express,
Swells my heart that thy shadow may never be less,
That the days of thy lot may be lengthened below,
And the fame of thy worth like a pumpkin-vine grow…
Longfellow's poem, "Harvest Moon," captures the ethereal mystery of autumn as a suitable backdrop for Thanksgiving:
It is the Harvest Moon! On gilded vanes
And roofs of villages, on woodland crests
And their aerial neighborhoods of nests
Deserted, on the curtained window panes
Of rooms where children sleep, on country lanes
And harvest-fields, its mystic splendor rests!
Gone are the birds that were our summer guests,
With the last sheaves return the laboring wains!
All things are symbols: the external shows
Of Nature have their image in the mind,
As flowers and fruits and falling leaves;
The song-birds leave us at the summer's close,
Only the empty nests are left behind,
And pipings of the quail among the sheaves.
Contemporary musical artist Neil Young celebrates part of the spirit of the season in his love song titled, aptly enough, "Harvest Moon" (in part):
But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high;
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again;
Because I'm still in love with you
On this Harvest Moon.
Finally, whereas everybody recognizes it, most probably don't understand that the American Gospel song "Bringing in the Sheaves" was inspired by Psalm 126:6; "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
The lyrics to the song were written in 1874 by Knowles Shaw and are usually set to a tune by George Minor, written in 1880 (in part):
Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontime and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Selective Hiring and Welfare Analysis in Labor Market Models

IZA Discussion Paper No. 6294
Firms select not only how many, but also which workers to hire. Yet, in standard search models of the labor market, all workers have the same probability of being hired. We argue that selective hiring crucially affects welfare analysis. Our model is isomorphic to a search model under random hiring but allows for selective hiring. With selective hiring, the positive predictions of the model change very little, but the welfare costs of unemployment are much larger because unemployment risk is distributed unequally across workers. As a result, optimal unemployment insurance may be higher and welfare is lower if hiring is selective.

This policy describes the appropriate use of email and the mass emailing lists.
This policy applies to all users of the Hamilton College email service.
Last revised, December 2014.
By special permission, college departments and student groups will be granted a single account to facilitate connections between the department or group and interested parties. The department or group must identify one person to be responsible for the account and to act as the contact person. In addition, student organizations must be registered with the Office of Student Activities before an account will be granted.
Hamilton strongly recommends that e-mail not be used for confidential communication. E-mail is now considered a formal written record that carries the same legal weight as a formal memorandum. Users of e-mail should remember that e-mail messages become the possession of the receiver and can be easily duplicated and redistributed by recipients. Messages that have been deleted can unintentionally be retained on system backup files. In addition, even secure passwords are not completely confidential. When a private message needs to be conveyed between two individuals, a conversation is the best way to accomplish it, and messages that should not be preserved should be deleted immediately.
College policy prohibits certain types of e-mail. These include mail that may be perceived as harassment, political campaigning, chain mail or commercial solicitation. Violators will be subject to loss of computer access privileges, as well as additional disciplinary action as determined by the Hamilton judiciary procedures. Certain types of e-mail, including but not limited to harassing e-mail, may also subject the sender to civil or criminal penalties. In spite of College policy, e-mail can be abused by malicious users who know the owner's computing ID and password. Users are responsible for protecting their own passwords.
ListServ is a commercial software product in use at Hamilton. It is designed to provide an easy way to create and maintain large E-mail mailing lists. These lists can be used for the one-way distribution of information, for E-mail based discussion, questions and answers, etc. Lists are created and "owned" by an E-mail user who manages the list's behavior.
Any faculty, staff, or student member of the Hamilton College community is entitled to become a ListServ list owner. Campus-based organizations and departments are also entitled to own lists, but an individual within the group must be designated as the list owner. Students must be in good standing with the Dean of Students office and student organizations must be registered with the Office of Student Activities.
All lists must be approved by the LITS ListServ administrator prior to creation, but the following general guidelines apply:
To apply for list ownership or find documentation that will help you send a mass message or manage your listserv list, please visit our Listserv Resources web page.
As a service to the Hamilton College community, several e-mail based mass mailing lists have been created. These are designed to facilitate the timely and cost-effective distribution of information to the campus community. E-mail now reaches all faculty, administration and staff and students. Participation in the mass mailing lists is voluntary.
In order that these lists remain a reliable means of communication, it is important that members of the Hamilton community abide by a few guidelines. These guidelines are not designed to limit free speech but are intended to keep your mail volume at a reasonable level.
Most importantly, anonymous mailings are prohibited. The sender's real name must be identified (in full) within the body of the message - not just at the top in the "from" line.
There are two sets of mass mailing lists, one for announcement of events and the other for general campus notices. The guidelines for use of these lists are explained below.
Please note: When composing your announcement, please be considerate of those who are visually impaired. People of all ages may struggle to read small text. In addition, it is strongly recommended that you avoid using images (such as posters) as the sole content of your announcement. Software designed to read text aloud cannot interpret words contained in an image. If you must include an image that contains the important details of your event or notice, please repeat the details as normal text somewhere else in your message.
The mass e-mail lists for posting events are:
a. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent to all current students)
b. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent to students in a particular class year, where xx is the last two digits of the class year)
c. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent only to members of the faculty)
d. email@example.com (sent only to members of the staff)
e. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent only to members of the administration)
f. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent only to members of Maintenance and Operations)
g. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent to all current employees - faculty and non-faculty)
h. email@example.com (sent to both students and employees)
By an "event" we mean an activity (meeting, performance, lecture, etc.) that takes place on- or off-campus at a specific date, time and place and is sponsored, or co-sponsored by either an academic or administrative department/program or a student organization recognized by Student Activities. Sponsorship means that the chair of a College department, program or organization indicates that the organization supports the event and that members of the College are actively involved in organizing the event (e.g., as speakers). If someone other than the organizer(s) makes the event announcement, they share in the responsibility for adhering to the guidelines.
Date and time of the event
Sponsor of the event
Name of the event
Location of the event
The remainder of the message should be a short description of the event. [Note that if your message includes large graphics you may exceed the Listserv "line limit". Such messages will be rejected. Contact the LITS Help Desk for assistance at 859-4181.]
Clarification: Posting a message to an inappropriate list is a violation (e.g., posting a message to events-all that is intended only for students or posting an event to one of the notices lists)
The mass e-mail lists for posting notices are:
a. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent to all current students)
b. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent to students in a particular class year, where xx is the last two digits of the class year)
c. email@example.com (sent only to members of the faculty)
d. email@example.com (sent only to members of the staff)
e. email@example.com (sent only to members of the administration)
f. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent only to members of Maintenance and Operations)
g. firstname.lastname@example.com (sent to all current employees - faculty and non-faculty)
h. email@example.com (sent to both students and employees)
By a "notice" we mean information that is meant to inform the campus of details not related to an event. A notice will be limited to no more than two posts to the mass mailing lists regardless of who sends the message. Corrections count as one of the two messages.
As a general rule, notices will not reference a place to which readers are encouraged to go, whereas an event will almost always include a time, date and a place. The notices mass e-mail lists will be used only for the following general categories. A non-comprehensive bulleted list of examples is provided for each category.
Student organizations recognized by Student Activities can submit surveys directly to the student lists. These must be surveys that will only be given to students.
Surveys related to college business or faculty research may be submitted directly to the lists.
Notices from members of the senior staff directly related to their areas of responsibility
Please consider your audience carefully (e.g., do not send a mailing to "all" if you only need to reach students).Examples of inappropriate uses include, but are not limited to:
A message that contains no actual announcement (e.g. does not meet the criteria listed above for an event or a non-event) is a violation.
Messages that fall outside the guidelines, or from senders not approved for mass mail: Any individual wanting to post a message to the mass e-mail lists that falls outside of the guidelines, can request that the message be posted by sending a request for an exception to: email@example.com. The request will be directed to the appropriate member of the senior staff for approval. Approval or denial will be communicated to the person making the request. Requests for exceptions should be sent at least two business days in advance of the time the posting is to take place.
A violation consists of any message that fails to meet the guidelines published above.
Violators may appeal their penalty by submitting their reasons in writing to the chair of the Committee on Libraries and Information Technology. The Committee will review the appeal and generally return a decision within 5 business days. During the appeal process the penalty will be suspended.

Johanna Spyri
|Johanna Louise Heusser
Johanna Spyri, about 1870
12 June 1827
Hirzel, Switzerland
|7 July 1901
(aged 74)
Zürich, Switzerland
|Short story writer, Novelist
|Children's literature, Adult literature
|Notable works
Johanna Louise Spyri (née Heusser) (German: [joˈhana ˈʃpiːri]; 12 June 1827 – 7 July 1901) was a Swiss-born author of novels, notably children's stories, and is best known for her book Heidi. Born in the rural area of Hirzel, Switzerland, as a child she spent several summers in the area around Chur in Graubünden, the setting she later would use in her novels.
In 1852, Johanna Heusser married Bernhard Spyri. Bernhard was a lawyer. While living in the city of Zürich she began to write about life in the country. Her first story, A Note on Vrony's Grave, which deals with a woman's life of domestic violence, was published in 1880; the following year further stories for both adults and children appeared, among them the novel Heidi, which she wrote in four weeks. Heidi is the story of an orphan girl who lives with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps, and is famous for its vivid portrayal of that landscape.
Her husband and her only child, named Bernard, both died in 1884. Alone, she devoted herself to charitable causes and wrote over fifty more stories before her death in 1901. She was interred in the family plot at the Sihlfeld-A Cemetery in Zürich. An icon in Switzerland, Spyri's portrait was placed on a postage stamp in 1951 and on a 20 CHF commemorative coin in 2009.
In April 2010 a professor searching for children's illustrations found a book written in 1830 by a German history teacher, Hermann Adam von Kamp, that Johanna may have used as a basis for Heidi. The 1830 story is titled Adelheide - das Mädchen vom Alpengebirge—translated, "Adelaide, the girl from the Alps". The two stories share many similarities in plot line and imagery. Spyri biographer Regine Schindler said it was entirely possible that Johanna may have been familiar with the story as she grew up in a literate household with many books.[1]
The following is a list of her main books:
- Heidi (1880)
- Cornelli (1892)
- Erick and Sally (1921)
- Gritli's Children (1885)
- Mäzli (1921)
- Moni the Goat-Boy (1897)

The Rochester Americans sure do follow in their parent's footsteps.
Like the Buffalo Sabres in recent years, the Amerks have spent nearly as much time filling out injury reports as score sheets. They recently had five key forwards out of the lineup, including center Cody Hodgson, and were playing defensemen upfront.
The lineup departures have cost them on the ice and in the standings. Rochester started 6-2-1 but has fallen to 11-9-2 heading into tonight's road game against Lake Erie. The Amerks are 10th in the American Hockey League's Western Conference.
"We've been up and down," coach Ron Rolston said by phone Wednesday. "We had the injury bug hit and just haven't had a lot of consistency lately. We're still trying to get over the hump.
"Guys are playing out of their role when there's that many injuries, and it's hard to get the chemistry and the continuity that you want."
Only seven Amerks have skated in all 22 games, but a few are finally regaining their health. First-round draft pick Zemgus Girgensons and bruiser Nick Tarnasky returned for Tuesday's 3-2 shootout victory over Abbotsford. Hodgson, who's been out since Nov. 3 with a broken hand, might play Saturday when the Amerks host Toronto.
Rochester has gone 5-7-1 without Hodgson, who will center one of the Sabres' top two lines when the NHL lockout ends.
"Obviously, you know how good Cody is and what he can mean to a team in more ways than one with his leadership and his offensive ability," Rolston said. "It's been a day-to-day thing [with the hand]. I think now it's more of the strength of it and the functionality of what he can do out there. We're hoping on Saturday, but we'll see how it goes."
When Hodgson returns, he'll join a lineup that has offensive firepower and an unstable defensive system.
The Sabres' minor-leaguers rank seventh in goals (3.27) and shots (32.23) per game among the AHL's 30 teams. They rank 16th in goals allowed (3.0) and 23rd in shots against (32.05).
"We were able to score last year. We've been able to this year," Rolston said. "Defensively, that's an area we want to strive to get better at. That's again been a combination of things. We have been injured, but we also have a pretty young defensive corps right now, but I think a very talented, promising defensive corps."
T.J. Brennan, who played 11 games for the Sabres last season, remains the go-to defenseman. He ranks fourth among AHL blue-liners with 18 points and is tied for the team lead with nine goals.
"Offensively, he's always had that ability," Rolston said of Brennan, who totaled 32 goals the previous two seasons. "That's a gift of his, his shot, his vision, his ability to make plays and make things happen offensively with his instincts and tools. He's becoming a better defender."
Forward Marcus Foligno, another player who will be in Buffalo should the NHL return, leads the Amerks with 21 points. He's recorded six goals and 15 assists.
"He plays a major role on the team in terms of asking him every night to produce offensively but also be a physical presence for us," Rolston said. "In this league, that takes a lot of energy in the way he plays, the physical nature that he plays with. Whether he's got the puck or he doesn't have the puck, we want him to be an attacking player."
The numbers for goaltender David Leggio, who earned AHL victory No. 99 on Tuesday, have slipped from last season while the Amerks struggle to keep pucks away from him. His goals-against average is 2.85, up from 2.63, and ranks 29th. The Williamsville native is 25th with a .910 save percentage, down from .917 last season.
"Our defensive corps has gotten better, but it is young and we're still learning," Rolston said. "I just think that's going to get better as the season goes on, our ability to defend and be tougher to play against."
Jochen Hecht, who had been skating in Buffalo while waiting for the NHL to start, has returned to his homeland and hometown team. Hecht has rejoined Adler Mannheim, which recently signed former Sabres teammate Jason Pominville.
Hecht, an unrestricted free agent, has an out clause that would allow him to play in the NHL if the lockout ends. The Sabres opted not to re-sign the oft-concussed Hecht, but have a hole at center should play resume. The 35-year-old said he's healthy.
Hecht played for Mannheim from 1994 to 1998 and helped the team win two German titles.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – In effort to get out of an offensive funk that has plagued Ohio State during its three-game losing streak, senior point guard Aaron Craft said the team has taken more shots in practice than he remembers at any previous point in his career.
It's not the first time Craft has said that. And this is not the first time Ohio State has struggled to knock down shots.
But it is the first time in Craft's career the Buckeyes have had a losing streak this long.
"This is tough," Craft said Sunday. "You go down the line of guys on the team, and I don't think any of us have ever lost three games in a row at any level … This is different – kind of uncharted territory for everyone."
In Ohio State's slumps of the past – like last slide in early February when it lost three of four – coach Thad Matta has found a simple solution: make more shots. That's why his response, as it has been again this week, has been to shoot more in practice.
That seems reasonable considering Ohio State's 35.3 field goal percentage in its loss at Minnesota last week was the coldest of the year. Craft said that was a byproduct of bad shooting in the Buckeyes' previous two losses to Michigan State and Iowa.
"I think we're not playing with very much confidence right now," Craft said. "That shows when we get into games and we miss a shot or two and then you don't want to shoot the next one or you look at one guy and say, 'alright, he's going to shoot the next (one).' That's definitely not when we're at our best."
The Buckeyes are still looking for another scorer to rely on outside of LaQuinton Ross, but it would be unreasonable to expect Ohio State to see drastic changes in characteristics from any single player on the roster. Nobody is going to turn into Deshaun Thomas overnight.
It's better to hope everyone comes around a little in their own ways.
Ohio State has seen glimpses of productive scoring ability from Sam Thompson, but Matta said he sometimes lacks the aggressiveness or confidence to take shots when good looks present themselves.
Lenzelle Smith Jr., a senior guard that was supposed to raise his scoring averages this year, particularly from long range, has instead struggled immensely. Since Big Ten play started, Smith has made only 2-of-19 attempts from beyond the arc.
The list goes on.
But shooting isn't the only reason the Buckeyes have lost these three games, falling to 2-3 in the Big Ten standings and down to No. 17 in the latest Associated Press Poll.
What has been the most frustrating for Matta is that the Buckeyes haven't been taking care of the ball, which seems odd considering Ohio State's backcourt of Craft and Shannon Scott is made up of two natural point guards.
In Ohio State's first two Big Ten games – both wins – Craft and Scott combined for only four turnovers. In the past three games – all losses – they have turned it over 26 times.
"Obviously we have to take better care of the basketball," Matta said. "Just being more sure, being more confident in what we're doing, is the answer for us."
Maybe Monday night's road game at Nebraska comes at the perfect time for a Buckeyes team trying to earn back confidence, a team simply trying to make shots and protect the basketball.
The Cornhuskers have played better as of late – their last two games were close losses to Michigan and Purdue – but they have still dropped all five of their Big Ten games and haven't beaten the Buckeyes in the last nine tries.
And sometimes the best remedy for turning around a losing streak is simply ending it.
"There's gonna be peaks and valleys to it and as I told the guys the other night, we're at the bottom – we've lost three games in a row," Matta said. "There's only one way we can go up and there's only team that can change that, and that's us. But just because we say we're ready doesn't mean it's going to be easy. That's kind of where we are."

It has been assumed by many, based on previous studies,1,2 that there is a linkage between hospital cardiac surgical case volumes and outcomes, whereby improved outcomes are associated with high-volume centers. Regionalization strategies and recommendations, adopted by state certificate of need regulations and health care industry consortia (eg, the Leapfrog Group), are largely predicated on these assumptions in that they espouse concentrating bypass surgery procedural volumes in the interest of improving quality and outcomes. Findings from this article suggest that such traditional volume-outcome tenets may be overly simplistic and inaccurate in assessing current CABG practices. In an analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons' National Cardiac Surgery Database, DiSesa et al3 recently reported that, although certificate of need regulations have been successful in increasing hospital CABG volumes, their effect on procedural mortality or morbidity seems to be negligible. There is growing experiential evidence that hospital-based quality control, monitoring, and best-practice programs may have a more significant effect on outcomes.

DeChellis Q&A: "That was a special moment"
March 13, 2011 - Cory Giger
Penn State coach Ed DeChellis discusses what it means to reach the NCAA Tournament. Plus, he describes the funny details about how he had to cut his celebration short because he had to use the restroom.
On getting in and as 10 seed: "You're sitting there and you see some other names pop on the board and you're certainly hoping your name's gonna pop up. But I wasn't really comfortable until I saw it pop up. I thought we'd be in the tournament. I didn't know where we would be. But it's nice to see your name pop up on the board."
Have you thought about Temple yet: "I've got Danny Earl on that. He's thinking about Temple. I'm gonna try to take at least an hour, hour and a half until we get home and try to relax on the plane. They've got some stats for me to look at, and I'll do that on the plane. But I just need an hour to wind down. It's been a long five days.
On what it means to the seniors: "Very, very happy for them. Very proud of them. They stayed the course. We've had some tough days, we've had some disappointing losses. But those kids have always stayed the course. They've been great kids for me, they've been great for the university and wonderful student-athletes. I'm very proud of them."
On the loss to Ohio State: "I thought the play of the game was Diebler's 3 at halftime. … Diebler hit that big shot and kind of took the wind out of our sails. … They're a very good team. I can't stress that enough. … Playing the fourth in four days, we didn't have it the second half."
On the run to the Big Ten title game: "It was really important for us. Our kids have done a great job. Our staff did a great job preparing the kids. … I thought the kids executed, had great focus, were attentive to detail."
On Selection Sunday process and anticipation: "When names start popping up and you get to the second bracket, you start to get that little feeling in your stomach in the sense that I hope this goes the way I think it's gonna go because I'm not sure what I would say to my team [if they didn't make it]. We had a pretty good indication that we were in, but until you literally see it pop up there, you never know. Stranger things have happened. I've had good friends today who I thought were definitely in the tournament and I find out today on the bus ride back did not get in the tournament. It's a hard feeling to explain."
On how team developed: "It's a long year, a long race, things happen. … For our team, we've all tried to express the attitude 'stay the course, just do what we do.' And there was times where it was very challenging. We lost a game that maybe we shouldn't have lost. We had an injury or two in the Big Ten season where I think really we probably would have won the game."
On what are goals now: "I've got to think about that on the way home, how I want to approach it. We want to win. I'm gonna grind 'em. But I think they need some air tonight. I mean, I've been on 'em since we left. This has been a two and a half, three-week deal. Not just this weekend. It's been tough the last two and a half, three weeks. Winning the games we had to win, putting ourselves in position to beat Northwestern at home, to beat Minnesota at home, and on and on. … And we get to the tournament where we've got to win, I thought, at least two, maybe three games. After we beat Wisconsin, Brian Siegrist and I huddled a little bit and looked at some things, and we both kind of thought we were gonna have to beat Michigan State to really solidify things."
On scrimmaging Temple in preseason: "Fran Dunphy's a great coach, and he runs an unbelievable program. What I took away from that was we needed to get better very, very quickly because I didn't think we played very well. I thought they were a stronger and tougher team, both mentally and physically, back in November when we scrimmaged. I haven't really seen them play on television because I'm so consumed with our games. But I know they've had a great year, I know they've had a couple injuries. But I'll focus on them tomorrow and try to enjoy this day as best we can. Maybe we should meet in Harrisburg rather than Tucson."
On what Talor has meant: "You coach for a lot of different reasons. Obviously you're a competitive person, you want to win. But the smiles and the joy on our kids' faces when our name popped up there and they jumped off that couch and Bubby leading the parade there is very, very special to me. That's why we coach. I just love to see the joy and the excitement that all their hard work and dedication to Penn State has paid off and now we've got ourselves in the tournament, and it's because of those seniors. And I've got to throw this out there. I got about a million texts here from people, the kids who played here in the past few years -- Jamelle Cornley and Stanley Pringle and Danny Morrissey -- who really took us to the NIT run, really set the stage for what we did this weekend, as well. Because we went through that NIT run several times the last few days, and those kids were very instrumental and very important in the development of Talor and Jeff Brooks and Drew and D.J. and Steve."
On what it means for him and the program to be in tournament: "It's not about me. It's all about our players, it's about the university. I'm very, very proud of our kids and what they've been able to accomplish. I never really, it's just all about them. As a staff, we try to prepare every game the same and give them an opportunity to be successful. … They've had a great run. They really have. They've had a great year. We were so close on a couple games that we didn't get that we thought we could have. But again, they were very resilient the whole year and I'm just really proud of the efforts and what they've been able to accomplish."
On if this is validation for work over the years: "I don't know validation. It has been challenging at times. There's been some things that happened to us -- injuries we weren't obviously expecting. We've had some crazy luck. We've really had some crazy luck, as well. And so there's always challenges for everything you do in life. I've always tried just to tell our kids just to keep fighting and get up off the floor when you get knocked down. We've been knocked down several times, but one thing about our staff and our players, we're always gonna get back up."
On whether it would have been unfair for Battle not to get to tourney: "There are some things in life you hope really work out, and this was one I was just praying for to work out. I went to Mass this morning, and I never pray for wins or for losses; I never have in my entire life. I pray for the Lord to watch over our kids so they can compete at the highest level and not be injured. I pray for that. I pray for giving them strength and courage to do what they have to do. The little guy has courage. He's a competitor and he has courage. I think that there are two great qualities that he will be successful in life, whatever he decides that he wants to do."
On being a 10 seed and thinking Big Ten got a lot of respect after seeing Michigan getting an 8: "I thought they were. We're tied with Michigan and with Illinois, as well, Michigan State. We were jammed in there together. I thought we played pretty well over the weekend. That didn't really shock me. Nothing shocks me with the NCAA Tournament and seeding. Anything can happen. So the seed is what it is. I think it's very fair. I think it's a very, very fair seed for us. And now, when they toss that ball up this week, all that seeding, it doesn't matter where you played, doesn't matter what league you're in. It's all about the next game, and the next game is the most important game."
On being concerned about playing Thursday so far away: "I am concerned. In a perfect world we'd like to play Friday. That's not gonna happen. So we're gonna meet tomorrow afternoon as a team and try to focus them and practice Tuesday and Wednesday and play Thursday. They need a day off. I can't practice them tomorrow. We'll watch some videotape maybe. But they need a day off mentally as well as physically. They're a drained group right now.
On if there were tears after seeing their name in the bracket: "They were very happy, and there was a lot of hugging. I gotta be honest with you: I had to go use the restroom. As soon as we came up on the board, I kissed my wife and my kids and shook hands with everybody in the room and my staff, I needed to go to the restroom. And that was the end of the party for me. … It's not about me. It really isn't. It's about our players. I'm happy for them and got a chance to visit with them after so we could kind of just be to ourselves. That was a special moment."
On the pressure of getting in the tournament this year with experienced team: "I thought our best chance was gonna be this year, for right now. I thought if we could be injury free we'd have a chance, and we did give ourselves a chance. … I thought it we just kept our nose to what we were doing and try to convince them to defend and rebound, I thought we could score enough somewhere along the way to win some games and be successful and get these kids in the tournament."

Hello my name is Tiffany and I am the proud owner of Crafty Chick Crochet. I not only crochet but cross stitch, scrapbook, make floral wreaths, and knit (although knitting is new to me).
Crafty Chick Crochet was born when my husband and I got married. We didn't have much money and I had one particular type of scarf I made my "Best Selling Lacy Scarf," so my husband took a few to work and his co-workers loved them. I even sold my first queen sized blanket.
Now after 6 years of marriage and 2 children later Crafty Chick Crochet has blossomed into much more. I make hats with animal faces, sports themes, and whatever your heart desires. I also make blankets, stuffed animals, and many different kinds of scarves.
I put lots of love into each piece and hope your gift is something you will treasure.
As a small business my number one concern is making you, the customer, happy because without you there would be no Crafty Chick Crochet.
As much as my family and business has grown and continues to grow, I still make my "Best Selling Lacy Scarf." Get yours and take home a piece of Crafty Chick Crochet History!

Troy University safety Sherrod Martin was the second player with state of Alabama connections picked in Saturday's NFL Draft, going in the second round to the Carolina Panthers.
Martin was the 59th pick overall in the draft, which will conclude on Sunday.
Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith was the sixth pick overall by the Cincinnati Bengals.
The fact that Martin can play both safety and cornerback and his size - 6-foot-1, 198 pounds - was attractive to NFL scouts.
Here is a link to Martin working out at the NFL Combine.

Amyloidosis (AL) is a deposition disease of particular interest for internists given the variety of organs that are involved and the difficulty of the diagnosis. The deposition of slight chains of immunoglobulins in primary AL, similar to the deposit of amyloid protein in secondary AL, may affect any organ. Nevertheless, in primary AL there is a higher incidence of symptoms related to the heart, skin, lungs, and joints. The peripheral nervous system is also commonly affected in both types of AL, although the cranial nerves are rarely involved.1,2 We hereby report the case of a patient with AL in whom, in addition to the usual signs (cardiac, renal, and cutaneous), there was also peripheral facial paralysis and an intrahepatic cholestasis that developed into fatal liver failure.

Welcome to Kimo's Vegas ... the player's edge! Last weekend John Mayer and Keith Urban headlined tiger jam 2011 in Las Vegas. the annual fundraiser raised about $750,000 for the Tiger Woods foundation that helps kids in need. as usual, people overpaid for unique items in tiger's auction book - like a backstage meet and greet with woods, mayer and urban that sold for $80,000.
Also last week, speed: the ride, the sahara's roller coaster, took its last spin. the hotel will close its doors monday (may 16).
The Las Vegas monorail's last trip may not be far behind ...
Right before the pacquiao/mosely fight, the odds were 7 to 1 in favor of manny ... that means you had to put up $700 to win $100.
Ex-isle resident and iconic rock photographer Robert Knight has closed his gallery in the Las Vegas Hilton after a successful year. his images will remain on display throughout the hotel and in the tremolo bar inside the hilton theater. also out: Carlos Santana wrapped up his two-year residency at the hard rock ... it's a lock that the man named rolling stone's 15th best guitar player will land another Vegas gig.
Cirque du soleil and Mandalay bay confirmed the longtime rumor that the next cirque show will call the Mandalay home. the Michael Jackson immortal world tour opens DEC. 3 in a theater modeled after his neverland ranch. in addition, there will be a Michael Jackson lounge, museum and souvenir shop. auwe ... the cosmopolitan said, "we apologize to the individual guest and welcome her back to the resort anytime," after it issued a trespass warning and banned a transgendered guest from the premises for using the women's restroom ... so much for its approval rating from the travel alternatives group. go vegas a lot? now you can leave your lucky underwear where you need 'em the most. check out vegas box, where for less than a benji a year you can leave up to 70 pounds of stuff ... no more extra bag or overweight fees if your significant other is an overpacker. best of all, they'll deliver your box to your hotel so your stuff is where you need it when you need it. if you like this idea, get the link for the hookup at kimosvegas.com.
Tony bennett pulls a one-niter july 24 at the palms. no one has been on the Columbia records roster longer than Bennett, and he's also won 15 Grammys and a lifetime achievement award for a career that's spanned six decades.
Howie Mandel, Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan and the hardest-working man in show business nick cannon checked into the planet Hollywood for the sixth season of America's got talent. Clark and Bonneville avenues downtown are now one way ...
It's good to be king ... the Las Vegas sands reported that they paid big kahuna Sheldon Adelson, venetian and palazzo ceo, $11.4 million last year including salary, options, performance bonuses and perks.
For 500 of Steve Wynn's closest friends, the royal wedding was his nuptials to Andrea Hissom. i hope he was feelin' lucky ... his best man was Clint Eastwood.
