5) Click on Register at the bottom and your information will then be available to me for me to “approve” as a user of this web site.
6) Once I approve you (it will be a few hours, or a day at most (once I receive your dues check)), you will then be able to use the web site.

The program will list all of your assigned games and you may see additional information on a specific game by clicking on the number to the left of the individual game. This will give you all information for the game/school assigned. We will be assigning all of the games by the end of November, so it is important that you either approve or turn back all individual games by 11/30.
10) If you have any questions or need to contact the AD, you may contact the AD/School via e-mail by clicking on their e-mail address or by phone.
11) Now let’s look at some of the other features.

13) Change Password is to be used immediately so that we know you have successfully entered the database and have checked in. Just go to OLD Password, type ccsoo and then go to New Password and enter your own. Make it all lower case and keep it simple. Type again on verification line and enter by clicking on key at bottom.
14) Availability Calendar: If you know days you cannot work, simply place cursor on that day’s date and click to change box to red. This closes that date and you will not receive any games that day. If you have a specific time you can work, type that in the box within that date. Be sure to click on update button at bottom.
15) Concierge is a “Map Quest” program that tells you the location of the school.

17) Questions: call Bob Gottschall at 610-692-9668. The 610-692-9668 is also the line for faxing so if that is busy, either e-mail (rhgott@comcast.net) me or wait for a short period of time to try to make contact. I would suggest e-mail (see refs’ list and my e-mail address).

Thanks for your cooperation, and again, Welcome to the new CCSOO assigning system!

Photo - Orcus of the Outer Solar System

via: Astronomy Picture of the Day

Explanation: A newly discovered object in the outer Solar System moves like an anti-Pluto. 90482 Orcus was first discovered in 2004 and is slightly smaller than Pluto, although still one of the largest Kuiper belt objects known. Orcus may one day have the same IAU designation as Pluto: a dwarf planet. Orcus and Pluto have similar orbits: each achieves nearly the same maximum and minimum distances from the Sun, each orbits on a similarly shaped ellipse, and each orbital ellipse is tilted toward the other planets' orbital ellipse by roughly the same angle. The great mass of Neptune causes each to circle the Sun twice for every three Neptune orbits. Orcus is like an anti-Pluto, however, because the two objects always remain across the Solar System from each other. Orcus can be found as the spot near the center of these discovery frames moving slightly down from the top. Until the end of next week, the discoverers of Orcus ask for your help in naming its newly discovered moon.
