As part of attracting new faculty members, now, more than ever, it iscritical for Colgate to be an attractive employer. First and foremost, wewant to enhance the intellectual home pr of essors find on our campus. Second, we want to encourage new members of the faculty to establishtheir family homes in Hamilton in order to foster their participation inthe life of the university outside the classroom.
We are working energeticallyto help enhance village life, with a focus on the Hamilton schoolsand daycare, as well as cultural and economic vitality. Our conversations on campus about the faculty of the future are trulyexciting and hold the promise of advancing this great university.
Thisprivilege is due in great part to the continuing support of alumni whorecognize that maintaining and enhancing the excellence of the facultymust always be the central priority at Colgate.

Jewish author adds flavor toFaith WeekHaving worked as a peace activistin Israel, Merle Feld is well suitedto facilitate controversial yet eyeopeningdiscussions. Aself-described writer and teacher, Feldhas published a play, a memoir, andmost recently, a book of poetry, all of which pertain to her deep connectionwith her Jewish faith.
Feld chose a passage about preparingthe Sabbath, or Shabbat, meal. She described her process, emphasizingthe interplay between food andprayer, and conveyed the sacredness of the weekly ritual through hercareful attention to the details of itspreparation.
She also reflected on heridentity in connection to making themeal, musing on the seeming disconnectbetween her feminism anddomesticity. To the contrary: accept and excel at everything in front of you, no matter how medial or tedious — and you will excel in life. And if things get really tough,call a Colgate friend for a beer.

The project started with conductingresearch in the archives, assistedby university archivist Sarah Keen,who laid out sample materials includingphotographs, yearbooks, andletters to give students an idea of what was available.
Carefully combing through thebelly of the archives was a goodexercise for potential history majors,Cooper explained. Dick BroussardFor the backbone of each video, thestudents narrated scripts that theyprepared. Once the narration was inplace, they could focus on the visualand audio details needed to create afilm. Sarah Kunze, instructional technologyanalyst, helped the studentswork with the editing s of tware FinalCut Pro to compose their videos.
After creating their videos, studentswrote a page research paper— something that Cooper said wasmade easier because they had to identifythe heart of their stories whenwriting succinct scripts. The Colgate researchers examinedthe factors that make a location mostfitting for an NHL team.
At the time of their research, rumors were circulating of a possible relocation of eitherthe Atlanta Thrashers or the PhoenixCoyotes to Winnipeg, Canada, becauseboth teams at the time had the lowestpotential to generate revenue.
As anative of Winnipeg, Poplawski wascurious to study the prospects of anNHL team moving to his hometown. The Coyotes were considered thefavorite to relocate, especially becausethe team had been a longstandingfranchise in Winnipeg before movingto the Southwest in But aftermonths of speculation, True NorthSports and Entertainment formallyannounced at the end of May that itwould purchase the Thrashers andmove the team north.

Utilizingsabermetrics, a field of advancedstatistical analysis of baseball, Levittand Raymond worked with physicspr of essor Ken Segall in compiling data,creating and testing various models,and ultimately writing papers analyzingtheir results.
Levitt, a mathematical economicsmajor, found that the revenue-sharingprogram, which redistributes localrevenue from the large-market teamsto the smaller ones in order to theoreticallycreate competitive balance,creates a disincentive for smallmarketteams to spend money onteam payroll. Using a model based onthree expectedly positive relationships payroll spending and winning, winningand attendance, and attendanceand team revenue , Levitt deducedthat several underlying factors weredamaging these positive relationshipsfor the teams they were designed tobenefit.
Raymond, a political science major,noticed that the correlation betweenpayroll spending and winning hasbeen decreasing steadily over thepast decade. Because this is the relationshipthat the revenue-sharingprogram focuses on, he decided toexplore why this wasoccurring. He foundthat the currentsystem of rewardingteams that losefree agents withpremium draft pickswas outdated. Raymond usedsabermetric statistics to quantify in amore definitive way the relationshipbetween the value of free agents andcorresponding draft picks in terms of wins.
His findings suggested that thecurrent system significantly overcompensatesteams that lose a player t of ree agency, which encourages teamsto spend less money on free agentsand focus more on developing youngplayers.
Both Levitt and Raymond hope thatowners and players will avoid a playerlockout, and reach a new agreementbefore the current pact expires inDecember.

When I was only 15 years old, I worked as a photographer for thelocal newspaper. In college, I was a photographer for Hubert Birkenmeier, goalkeeper forthe New York Cosmos, when they were playing at the Meadowlands and drawing 60,people to a game. That gave me amazing access to the soccer world, which was relativelynew back then. What was your first soccer-playing experience? They asked me if I would play, but I needed a player pass. How did you get into coaching? I enjoyed it, and started coaching my own teams.
When I was 18, I startedmy own camp, and it just took of f from there. In college, I coached high school teams, clubteams, and in the Olympic development program.

I like drills that revolvearound goal scoring and goal tending.

New s and views for the Colgate community Six months later, after she hadworked every job from the production floor to deliveryroutes, Bud gave his daughter an of fice and madeher his customer service manager. Together, they bought and refitted a plant thatmore than tripled their space, modernizing AmesLinen Service and ensuring the business would stayin Cortland.
And in , father and daughter agreedto a sale that would keep Ames Linen in the familyfor at least another generation. A lot has changed since great-grandfather HarryAmes started his laundry business in Ithaca, makingdeliveries by horse and buggy.
In what serves essentially as the engineroom of the operation, water is s of tened, heatedto degrees, and recycled, and a maze of tubingdelivers chemicals to the washing machines in carefullymeasured, computer-controlled amounts.
In the adjacent production space, an operatorfeeds sorted linens onto a conveyor to begin a fullyautomated washing and drying operation, not tobe touched by human hands again until they comeout the far end, clean, dry, and ready to be sorted,pressed, folded, packaged, and prepared for shipping.
The plant can process more than a ton of laundry per hour. In a business where shesays annual turnover rates of to percent arecommon, most of her staff have been on the payrollfor years. The newplant allowed room for a bright and well-equippedarea for employees to take a break.

As otherresorts in the south central Adirondacks have comeand gone, Covewood has operated continuously,with only three owners over its history. The hospitality business has changed duringthose years, and Bowes and his wife, Diane, haveadapted to keep pace. The American plan with itsthree meals a day in the dining room has given wayto housekeeping cottages where guests have morecontrol of their schedules. The hotel no longer doesits own laundry. Summer crews once staffed byU.
But Covewood now is run bybuttons — the website, online reservations, and thelike — and Diane takes care of that. During his undergraduate days, Colgate pr of essorssometimes joined him there on hunting trips. He fellin love with the mountains. Ninety percent of his guests arerepeat visitors. Andthey were not alone. During the winter of f-season in those early years,Bowes ran natural history tours in Cuba, the Caribbean,and Central and South America.
He and Dianestopped giving tours in the s when the first of their two daughters was born. That was when Covewood started its winterbusiness, beginning by renting a couple of cottagesto snowmobilers. That evolved to serving snowshoersand cross country skiers, some 50 to 60 of whomwould gather at the hotel most winter weekends.
Now the season runs from May through October,with peak business in June through September. Bowes is an advocate and proactive defender of the Adirondacks. Major television networks,as well as Sports Illustrated, reported on the project. It worked, but was such a massive undertaking thatthe project was abandoned.

Cardboardboxes of samples arranged onmetal shelves nearby make upthe library of Najarian designsacross the years. As a teenager, L. By, he had begun manufacturinghis own ribbons on twolooms in a rented barn. Jack oversaw the weavingin those days, and Dick managed the businessaffairs.
After their father sold the business in , Dickstayed on to help the new owners fine-tune theirlooms and relocate their operation to Pennsylvania. A career move to Montreal followed, to manage amill for the largest ribbon maker in Canada. He, his wife, andhis nephew were the original workforce, but thebusiness grew steadily and he was soon up to a staff of 10, working two shifts.
He bought more looms and in began makinghatbands for a mill in Alabama. With three peopleworking one shift, Najarian said he was out-producing28 people working two shifts at the Alabamaplant. The Alabama mill bought Najarian out in apr of itable arrangement that assumed his loan andallowed him to continue managing the operation.
I told them we stay smallbecause we cater to small markets. So in , for the secondtime, he bought back the familybusiness and started L. Najarian, Inc. This time, he was literallystarting from scratch.
Then ribbon manufacturersfollowed the apparel millsto Taiwan, Korea, China, andeventually into Thailand andVietnam. As his traditional marketsmoved of fshore, he adaptedby selling specialized ribbonsand labels such as those on hislooms today. He took time away to regroup, andwhen he remarried in , he left the day-to-daymanagement of the business and moved to HiltonHead, S. But the market continued to decline, bottomingout a year ago, Najarian said.
Last fall, it becameclear that the only way to save the business was todownsize. And the only solution he saw that wouldallow a reduction in staff and still keep the skills necessaryto operate was for him to return to what hehad been doing at the mill 15 years earlier.
So he committed to return toGreene for three weeks each month through the end of 20 11 to redirect and reenergize the company. The same optimism that motivated Najarianthe first two times around is evident again today.
