Miami
February 2005 stay in Miami Beach at the Lily Leon Hotel Contact information: Address: 835- 841 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139; Manager: Chris Rollins, Tel. 305.673.3767. I like Miami Beach. Yes, a bit of a tourist trap, but beautiful weather, pristine public beaches ad infinitum, temperatures in the 70s mostly, lots of beautiful people.

Student Hiring
[2004-11-17]
Instructions on hiring students using interactive online database service. Mike and Sharon from ITS (?) or Project X gave presentation. Technique: start with SFAS Home Page. Select Student Employment Home. Select On-Campus Employers, and then Log On to Your Control Panel. To see jobs already posted start with Job X Home. Select the Find a Job link.
Supervisors can enter "write-in candidates", since students don't need to apply on line. Need to have students NetID. Immediate validation is provided regarding citizenship and payroll status, and helps supervisor decide if I-9 also needs to be submitted.
PAF equivalent also here. Really need students date of birth as secondary identifier in database, also middle name is importnat. Left hand panel has "Student List Checker" which retrieves things like student date of birth.
6-digit "Home org number", part of PTAO no., can be obtained from business office. Beginning work date is critical. Make sure to put in real date student began work. If not sure, err on side of caution and put earlier date.
"New" flag remains on link until application is first opened. Use stationary to respond. First to say that you've received application. Then, if interested to say what times and days I'm available for an interview.
Click "Manage Job" link, to "clean up data. E.g., "Storage" mode to delete obsolete items from system. Or "storage" mode, so job can be reposted in subsequent semesters. Or "Listed" mode to get job description back on public site. "Review" mode stops system from receiveing more jobs.
Manon: What about dept headings signing off of JD's? Answer: assumption now is that these are pre-approved, but need to follow up.

YaleInfo
YaleInfo Portal, customizable gateway to all kinds of Yale information. Easy way to check which books are currently checked out of library, for example. Or launch pad for Yale publications such as Nota Bene, the Yale Bulletin and Calendar, Light & Truth, etc. But doesn't link to any issues of the Library Gazette, nevermind the glorious April 1931 issue, which was fully digitized (including graphics). See also Library Staff Directory. and Yale News Releases. Yale University Library -Staff Front Door. Yale Alumni Directory.

Tenth of Av (Karaites)
Karaites observe a day of mourning on the tenth, not ninth, of Av, based on the the text of Jeremiah 52:12 Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzar-adan, captain of the guard, who served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem and he burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burned he with fire. This is JPS translation, one of 26 versions compared line-by-line in the Online Parallel Bible. Cf.: Igeret Tokhehot nehamot ve-Sefer Iyov (2003 or 2004) [10/14/04]
