NY TIMES BLOG ON FANTASY FOOTBALL FEATURES INSIGHT FROM YOUNG
Kimberly Young, professor of management, was quoted
in a story on fantasy football that appeared on The Fifth Down: The
New York Times N.F.L. Blog on Nov. 27, 2012.
The story, "When Fantasy
Football becomes an Addiction," is posted at http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/when-fantasy-football-becomes-an-addiction/
and focused on the addictive nature of fantasy points, pretend rosters,
and fantasy league statistics that make fantasy football leagues so
alluring.

MAJORITY OF E2CAMPUS USERS TO EXPIRE SOON
On Nov. 30, 2012, the accounts of more than 1,700 of the current 2,900 users on SBU's e2campus emergency text alert system will expire. You should receive a text alert from e2campus over the course of this month telling you the same thing. But in case you do not, or you happen to ignore the text thinking that it's just spam, don't worry. Updating your expiration date is easy.
1. EVERYONE with an e2campus account should go to https://www.e2campus.net/my/stbu/. This link can also be found on the my.sbu.edu page under the "Health & Safety" header.
2. Log in with your username and password.
3. If your expiration date is Nov. 30, there will be a yellow window that appears that says "Your service is active, but will expire on Nov. 30, 2012." Next to that, there's a button that says extend service period.
4. Clicking that button will automatically extend your expiration date by 2 years, to Nov. 30, 2014. (Unfortunately, the only time you can pick the specific end date of your service is when you first sign up for e2campus. If you prefer to delete your account and create a new one so you can pick a more specific opt-out date — e.g., you graduate in May — you can do that.)
5. EVERYONE with e2campus should log in to see if their expiration date is approaching at the end of this month. If you DO NOT see an "extend service period" button, then you are not about to expire. (NOTE: e2campus only allows you to extend your expiration date WITHIN 30 days of the expiration date.)
6. If you believe you have signed up for e2campus — and more than 300 people did early this week in advance of the storm — but DID NOT receive the text messages concerning campus preparations for the storm, then it's possible your account did not get properly validated when you signed up. There are almost 300 unvalidated users in SBU's e2campus system. The likely reason is that when you signed up, you should have received a validation.
7. To check the validation status of your account, log in as in steps 1 and 2 above.
8. If you ARE UNVALIDATED, you should see a bold-face red message telling you to go to the Services page. Click on the Services tab above in the orange menu bar.
9. If you have the original text from e2campus from the day you signed up, find it and enter the code. If you need the code again, click the Resend Validation Code link.
If people are still having difficulties, please email Tom Missel, director of marketing and media relations, at tmissel@sbu.edu.
The St. Bonaventure University Faculty and Staff Wellness Committee will host two seminars in November and December.
The first seminar is a Holistic Health Seminar on Finding Balance and Relaxation to be conducted in the Doyle Dining Hall from 12 to 1 p.m. Nov. 29.

Please e-mail the Wellness Center (ccsbu@sbu.edu) to confirm your desire to attend either or both seminars.
Refreshments will be served.
