Mattresses, for student comfort, are extra-long twins, measuring 80"x36". To help avoid the frustration of purchasing linens that do not fit, Residential Life has arranged with a reputable company to provide linens at a reasonable cost that are specially made for extra long mattresses. Information regarding linen will be mailed directly to you later this summer or you can order on-line at: Residence Hall Linens
Where can residents do laundry? What is the cost?
Each residence hall has a laundry room. Laundry machines have been provided at no additional cost.

The Office of Residential Life is responsible for the overall operations of the residence hall system, including housing assignments, programming, hall opening, hall closing, etc. The Office of Residential Life works closely with the Facilities Management to provide students with a comfortable living-learning environment. The Office of Facilities Management is responsible for the maintenance and housekeeping for our buildings.
Does the College insure a resident's personal belongings?
No. The College is not liable for damages to or theft/loss of personal property, for the failure or interruption of utilities or for injury to persons. Students must provide their own personal property insurance or make sure they are covered under their parent's homeowner's insurance policy. The College will not issue refunds for the failure or interruptions of utilities. For your convenience, National Student Services, Inc. is the premier student personal property insurance provider in the United States. Visit the website by clicking here or view the 2014 NSSI brochure.
When do the residence halls open and close?
Please check out the Residential Life calendar.
Are room changes permitted?
Yes, following the first two weeks of each semester room changes are permitted. Residents, however, first must speak with their roommate and Resident Assistant or House Manager about their concerns. Typically the staff member can assist the residents by mediating and helping the students communicate with each other. If the problem persists or is deemed irreconcilable by staff, then the student may come to the Office of Residential Life to complete a room change form. A change will be approved only if housing vacancies warrant.
What types of safety and security measures are provided in/around the residence halls?
All residence hall exterior doors are locked 24 hours a day. Students are encouraged to always lock their room doors. Room/hallway smoke detectors and building fire alarm systems help to ensure the safety of our residents. Campus Security routinely patrols campus and common living areas within the residence halls. Campus Security can be contacted 24 hours a day at 407.646.2999

High Throughput Screening (HTS)
Enabling researchers to conduct carefully planned drug discovery research that would otherwise be prohibitively expensive for single laboratories.
The Cancer Center HTS Laboratory allows members of the Cancer Center to use the techniques of high-throughput screening (HTS) of compounds or genomic siRNA libraries. The compounds identified in such experiments can be used as research tools to understand the complex molecular relationships that cause or prevent cancer as well as possible candidates for eventual drug development. The genes identified in HTS experiments may become eventual targets for compound screens leading to novel therapeutics.

Young Adults on Economy: We Need Help
Survey finds that young adults struggle as they learn tough lessons.
Young adults in their mid-twenties are stressed out, and not just because of the typical dating/career/school angst. They are so worried about the future of the economy, according to a new survey from Charles Schwab, that they say making better choices about managing money is more important that strengthening family relationships or improving personal health and nutrition. They also said financial education in schools is even more important than sex education or physical education.
"They wish their parents taught them more about budgeting, saving, and investing. Few parents have those conversations," says Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz, chief strategist for consumer education for Charles Schwab. Young adults also said they wanted the Obama administration to create a media campaign to encourage parents to talk to their kids, as well as provide incentives to encourage employers to educate their employees.
In the long-run, today's twenty-somethings might end up being better off than the previous generation, Schwab-Pomerantz adds. "This is a moment when younger Americans are learning lessons that perhaps their parents missed," she says, such as living beyond their means. "They're going to learn early that that's not sustainable." The survey found that young Americans have started eating out less, going on less expensive vacations, and otherwise cutting back.
But at the same time, they were also engaging in less-than-ideal behavior. One in four eligible workers do not participate in their workplaces 401(k) plan, and respondents carried an average of $14,020 in debt (excluding mortgages).
Last year's survey revealed that parents would rather talk about the birds and the bees than money with their children.

Quack Fix: Ducks in the All-State Sugar Bowl, Nike Having "Fun" with the NFL, Bryan Bennett and Playoffs
Coleman, who enrolled early and has been participating in drills this spring, was arrested late Saturday for interfering with officers and for being a minor in possession of alcohol. The short version appears to be that he was walking around campus with a Four Loco, got stopped by police on bikes, couldn't produce an ID, and booked it with the officers giving chase. Chip Kelly, through a spokesman, said he was "deeply concerned in regards to how the events unfolded" and didn't comment further. Time to reset the incident counter.

Lawmakers moving to give more rights to gun owners
By Daniel Kraker
Flagstaff, AZ – Arizona has some of the most lenient gun laws in the country. Last year legislators passed a law allowing people to carry a concealed weapon without a permit. This year, lawmakers are looking to go even further. KNAU's Daniel Kraker spoke with our Capitol Correspondent Howard Fischer about the legislature's gun-rights agenda.

Are Banks Really Special? New Evidence from the FDIC-Induced Failure of Healthy Banks
Article Citation
Ashcraft, Adam B. 2005. "Are Banks Really Special? New Evidence from the FDIC-Induced Failure of Healthy Banks." American Economic Review, 95(5): 1712-1730.
Recent bank failures are followed by significant and permanent negative declines in real county income. These declines are larger for small failures than for large failures per dollar of assets, are larger for bank failures than thrift failures, and are larger for bank closures than assisted mergers. More interestingly, the failure of even healthy banks has significant and permanent negative effects on economic activity.

Cod wallop: So long, New England fishermen?
Last week, the New England Fishery Management Council cut the cod quota in the Gulf of Maine by 77 percent and off Georges Bank by 61 percent. Some fishermen will be able to fish cod for only a day, or less, this year. The South Coast Today newspaper quoted John Bullard of the National Marine Fisheries Service as saying, simply, "The fish aren't there."
But fishermen say the cod have moved north, and these catch limits will devastate the industry for no good reason. There is scientific evidence to support their claim.
Cod do migrate to colder waters when their native waters warm.
In 2005, Institute of Marine Research scientist Kenneth Drinkwater wrote in the ICES Journal of Marine Science that a temperature increase of 4 degrees celsius would lead to collapse of the cod fishery off Georges Bank and sharp decline in the Gulf of Maine as the cod migrated north. "It is quite clear that, with future warming, there will be a northward migration of cod," he wrote.
In the past year, the temperature in the Gulf of Maine reached record highs. "At some point, (the gulf) is going to be inhospitable to cod. We're getting close to that now," said Jeffrey Runge, biological oceanographer at the University of Maine. In the past four years, the surface temperature in the gulf has risen between 2 and 3.5 degrees fahrenheit a year, more than enough to cause the near-collapse due to migration that Drinkwater predicted in 2005.
The government acts as though the only issue is overfishing. So it does what it always has done: it cuts the quotas. This approach is so inflexible and burdensome that even politicians like Carol Shea-Porter and Jeanne Shaheen, reflexive supporters of empowering government to control industries through the regulatory process, have expressed opposition to it.
Maybe last week's action, which could decimate the New England fishing industry, will finally open the eyes of those who assume that bureaucrats always know, and do, what is best.

GREENVILLE — The Commerce Police Department is reporting a murder occurred in the city overnight, with the victim a man from Greenville.
The department released the following information this morning:
At 12:23am on 11-28-2012, Commerce Police Department received a call from Hunt Regional Community Hospital advising of a stabbing victim that had been brought to the Emergency Room. Officers arrived and found a 20 year African American male that had a single stab wound to his upper left chest. Hospital personnel were performing life saving measures, but were unable to revive the victim.
Justice of the Peace Jennifer Reeves was called and pronounced the victim dead a short time later. An autopsy was ordered. The victim is identified as Jamal Stanton, 20 years old of Greenville, Texas. Investigators with Commerce PD and the Texas Rangers were called in to investigate this death. A person of interest in the case has been detained.
Just before the call was received from Hunt Regional Community Hospital-ER, an anonymous call of a fight in the Cul-de-sac at Tarter apartments was received by CPD Dispatch. The caller told dispatch of a fight in the "circle" and a person was being taken to the Emergency Room. Investigators have determined that the two calls are related.
More details will be made available at a later time.

speaking about delivery only. food is good but not great. Definately pricey, but takes time for delivery and won't be anything better than average. Never, i repeat never order the "fried chicken," especially delivery, but i can't imagine its good even dine-in... it is almost exactly like bodega chicken except worse because soggy from delivery.
Posted by Liat S on 12/15/2012
I've been here several times, the food is always a very high standard, the service is warm, the place is buzzy. It's pricy, no doubt (we just spent $128 for brunch for 3 with only 1 alcoholic drink) but the food is consistently excellent and we will come back...
Posted by WestVillageMan on 07/27/2011
The most unappetizing fried chicken I have ever put in my mouth. I hail from the South so I try not to be a snob about fried chicken. I mean, how hard is it to batter and fry up a chicken? Not very. If chains can get it right every. single. time. how can someone make a mockery of such a simple dish, put it on their menu and charge people for it. I ordered it for delivery and afterward I read here to never do delivery. I won't ever again. But I have ordered plenty or fried chicken delivery from other places that is flawless when it gets to me so didn't see them harm. This was just someone not knowing what they were doing. The chicken was totally under cooked, the crust was barely done and the entire thing was super soggy from being delivered. There is nothing worse than having your mouth set on something and it ends up being totally disappointing, ruining your dinner and, well, night. Thanks for ruining my night, Delicatessen. I shan't be retuning.

I went to Delicatessan on a Monday night at 7 with no reservation. My boyfriend and I were meeting a friend so we would be a table of 3. We walked into a pretty empty restaurant, told the hostess, and told her we'd have a drink at the bar while we waited for our friend. Our friend showed up and we told the hostess. She was going to seat us by the door but we said we preferred to sit elsewhere since it was pretty cold out. She said it would be about ten minutes because she had other reservations. A few other people showed up and were seated in the back but she just let us continue waiting and ignored us. After about 20 minutes, we decided we would go elsewhere since we didn't feel like dropping our money at a place that so obviously didn't care about our business. When we complained, she said she didn't want to overwhelm the waiters with too many tables at the same time. Why we could have sat at the cold front table and gotten service but not sat down at another table was not explained. We ended up a Lucky Strike and it was so warm and welcoming! No wonder Lucky Strike has been in business for so long.! Passed by Delicatessan in a cab on the way home and it was still pretty empty.

I love this place. Lively and fun. Great great salads
Posted by Keeks on 05/23/2010
the food will definitely come cold! i ordered for delivery twice from them and it took them about an hour each time! they simply are horrific when it comes to that. the food is OK but the service simply blows.
Posted by Lindsay Luv on 01/22/2010
i am not even sure if i spelled that write but seriously this is the hands down BEST ceaser salad ever in the history of the salad lol- the lettuce is fresh and crisp, tons of hard parmesan cheese flakes, delicious homeade croutons and a PERFECT dressing! plus i put the seared tuna on top and OMG YUM! so fresh and NOT fishy! -- amazing-- and a side of parmesan truffle fries just sets the whole thing to perfection! The grilled veggie pita sandwich is amazing too! go go go- other then the ridiculous 'model lounge' downstairs, I love this place and the friendly staff who told me i have a cool voice and even remembered what i order... the SALAD! haha

Thank you for voting on Election Day. Participating in the electoral process is the cornerstone of democratic government and community action. That being said, I am especially grateful for those who voted for me, recognizing that my actions as your Assemblywoman are driven by a love of community, a strong belief in our governmental system, and compassion for those in need – which frankly cuts across all demographics.
I have always believed that hard work, some sacrifice, persistence coupled with patience will help us achieve the goals we want for ourselves, our children and our New York State.
With the impact of Hurricane Sandy still being felt throughout our area as families still struggle to recover I appreciate that my constituents took the time to go to the polls.
As always, please feel free to contact my District Office at 516-482-6966 if I can be of any further assistance. I will continue to work each day with you always in my thoughts.
Michelle Schimel, D-Great Neck, represents the 16th Assembly District.

The year 2012 was a big one for change. Some landmark stores saw the end of many decades, and some large chain stores shut their doors due to pressures from a changing market. Here are some stores that closed around the area this year:
Bad Dawgs: Serving gourmet hot dogs and knishes in Huntington Village, Bad Dawgs closed in July. A takeaway spot called "The Chicken Coop" is reportedly going to open in its place from the same owners as Fado. They will serve rotisserie chicken and family-style sides.
Mangiamo: This Huntington Village Italian eatery on New Street closed in the beginning of year and recently became La Notte.
Dragon Gate: One of two Huntington locations, Dragon Gate on Main Street closed and was replaced by Daisho Ramen. Dragon Gate has moved around the corner to a takeout-only location.
Gemport: Northport's Gemport jewelry and rare gem store closed its doors in May after 43 years as a Northport mainstay.
Waldbaum's: Waldbaum's Huntington Station location closed in March. It was one of six Long Island stores described by its parent company as underperforming. It was replaced with a Best Market in May.
Blockbuster: Blockbuster closed hundreds of stores nationwide over the past few years in a move from brick and mortar to online business. The Huntington Station location closed in February, the Northport location closed last year.
Toys 'R' Us: Toy's 'R' Us in Huntintgon Station closed in January and became Nordstrom Rack a few months later. The closure followed on the heels of Barnes and Noble Books in Huntington Station a month earlier.
The Northport Tasting Room and Wine Cellar: This local wine-lovers destination closed abruptly in the spring and became The Wine Cellar on Main in June under new ownership.

I purchased two of these chandeliers for my entryway and hallway. For my previous home (a condo), I had ordered this line from Overstock in other styles and was very happy with them - received numerous compliments from guests. This style was slightly larger than I had expected, but after installing them, they looked great. Given the design, they were slightly harder to hang straight than the other lights we had purchased. My husband was a little annoyed, but I was so pleased with the final product, that it was worth the extra work. Also, I was happy that the crystals were pre-installed on this light. On the previous lights I had ordered in other styles, I had to put on all the crystals. That saved a ton of time!
Don't hesitate! I purchased this to go above our kitchen dining area table as the ceiling is relatively low and a standard chandelier would hang too close to the table. This semi mount is perfect! The chandelier looks beautiful turned off and magical when lit - just the right amount of "bling". The metal and crystals play off of each other lending itself to an updated look. The crystals are quality glass and come attached so mounting is as simple as any other light fixture. Very high end at a fraction of what you would pay at other retail stores. I've had many compliments and made a few people new Overstock customers because of the quality and price. So happy with this purchase! Thanks again Overstock!
This is soooo pretty. All the crystals were attached. We hung ourselves which was probably more challenging for us than it would be for a professional or experienced person. I used 15 or 20w bulbs and love it. As others say it glistens when you look directly at it, it has a little crystal attachment at the very bottom that was a little bit of a pleasant surprise as it makes it look pretty even looking up directly at bottom. Good weight. Feels good quality. Gorgeous. In my entry. 6x8' space
Up close this is not a super expensive looking light fixture. The metal is not very heavy and some of the parts are cheap looking. However, once you hang it and it is a couple feet away, it looks like a very expensive light fixture. The rest of my fixtures are from another site and it blends right in with them. I used this is our entry with a turquoise ceiling above it and I think it's my new favorite part of the house.
I have this hanging in my hallway. When I received it, I was afraid it might be too large for the space but we hung it anyway. Thank goodness, because once you get it up, it is absolutely beautiful. Because it uses 60 watt bulbs, the lighting isn't overwhelming but is enhanced by the crystals surround the lamp. If I had another appropriate space, I would order another!
I don't know who so distracted packed this product it came without all the necessary screws and nuts to secure the handle to the shade. I can find another, but it si not that easy. they should pay more attention.
We put this in our Master Bedroom and love the look and ambiance it creates. I wanted a chandelier to create a romantic look but my husband did not, this was our compromise, and even he commented on how nice it is once it was put in. When lit in the evening it reflects the pattern on the wall, so it would be best in a foyer or Bedroom where you do not require a well lit room. I cannot comment on the installation as an electrician put it in during the building process.
I was not expecting this light to be so elegant. The crystal really sparkles; the picture doesn't really show how beautiful this light really is. I'm completely satisfied with my purchase. When you consider the price, I definitely feel the quality is well worth every penny. Someone will easily think you spent much more than the asking price. I would buy again.
I bought this for our new home master bedroom. We have charcoal colored walls and the light bounces off beautifully. I looked around other stores and the prices were much higher for something of this quality and style. I am very happy with my purchase.
My husband and I have been looking for a light for our entryway for 6 months and we finally found this one! I wanted something that would cast a neat design on our walls and ceilings and this is definitely it! The only difficulty installing it was making sure it was straight but other than that it was a breeze for my husband and I to do together (and we're still speaking to each other!). I'm not too crazy about the clear plastic piece on the bottom of it but when the light is on no one will pay attention to it and the greatness of the rest of the light makes up for it. I would definitely recommend this!

Celebrating losses of democrats while opposing a progressive indy in chafee. You are an enigma inside a riddle wrapped in a quim.
on a comment on Senate Outlook a week out over 3 years ago
Ha ha. You think anybody who voted for Obama now regrets it, and would instead have voted for McCain/Palin? Don't be a fool.
Or perhaps you're speaking of the primary. I don't think Clinton would now be doing any better, as Obama's team is largely drawn from the same group of Clinton sycophants.
comment on a post Getting radical change over 3 years ago
So, Obama's numbers are similar to what Clinton's (and probably Reagan's) numbers were at this point?
TeH sky iz falling!
Seriously, though. Obama wins...Another democrat is nominated and wins/loses, a republican wins. It DOES NOT MATTER AT THIS POINT. I am going to support democrats who deserve my support (including president Obama) and oppose democrats who do not deserve my support...largely concentrating on upcoming races, such as my gubernatoral and congressional (and state house and senate) races.
Jesus, man...the annointed one loses a democratic nomination and you come totally fucking unglued. Seek help.
on a comment on Just Desserts for Chocolate Carter over 3 years ago
Fair enough. Perhaps I was mistaken. Your last paragraph smacks of PUMA-ism at it's worst. Bordering on racially insensitive, I am sad to see such drivel grace the front page of this once reasonable place.
I guess I still pine for the primaries of 2004, before Jerome went off the deep end, and dragged this place with him.

Did you really write this, Jack? You seemed to be one of the decent front pagers here.
It seems MyDD has jumped the shark entirely.
on a comment on Presidential Address Thread over 4 years ago
Others here are saying the same thing as you because this place is a wasteland, fit only for PUMAs and republiclan trolls, such as yourself. A pox on this site (not that it is necessary)
Dunno about DU. That place is a cesspool. Sure was fun watching the hillarites' heads assplode at the end of the primaries, though. 15% of teabaggers are PUMAs.
The government was corrupt all through the Bush years. It took a black man as POTUS to invigorate the teabaggers. Militias are up 300% over the last year. It isn't corrupt government that is spurring this bullshit. It is frank racism and stupidity.
Police found that the bullet had been fired INTO THE AIR, and entered the (abandoned) office at a trajectory that put it on the floor just inches from the window, not even breaking through the shade.
You should really pause before you post.
"center right"
Um...not at all. At least not by any objective criteria. You are now repeating talking point used by ollie north, Glen Beck, Shaun Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh.
Not that you ever had credibility, but you might just want to cool it, because the "center right" meme is for fools.
Okay, so you are propagating outrageous and unsubstantiated claims as if they are facts.
Comparing rumour to fact is not legitimate.
At the very least, everybody here should know that I don't give a flying fig about the opinion of a conservadem/republican applogist/puma.
Not. one. whit.
Smiley's claims....never corroborated. You're propagating lies.

Autumn Grasses
In fields of bush clover and hay-scent grass the autumn moon takes refuge The cricket's song is gold Zeshin's loneliness taught him this Who is coming? What will come to pass, and pass? Neither bruise nor sweetness nor cool air not-knowing knows the way And the moon? Who among us does not wander, and flare and bow to the ground? Who does not savor, and stand open if only in secret taking heart in the ripening of the moon? (Shibata Zeshin, Autumn Grasses, two-panel screen)

Decatur County officials have confirmed that no homes were lost during a large grass fire in northwest Kansas.
The fire started south of Oberlin Tuesday afternoon. Fire spread to the Nebraska, Kansas border around 7:00 p.m., and several fires popped up south of Oberlin.

A large fire in Decatur County has destroyed several homes, farm equipment, and scorched as many as 7 fields.
The Oberlin Herald says the fire spread 7 miles west of Oberlin and north of U.S. Highway 36. The fire likely started when an overheated car pulled off into a ditch close to the KFNF radio station on Tuesday afternoon.
Decatur County Emergency Management says agencies from Nebraska, Colorado, and surrounding counties have gone to assist. Homes in the area were being evacuated. No injuries have been reported.
Fire spread to the Nebraska, Kansas border around 7:00 p.m., and several fires popped up south of Oberlin. It is reported to be about 90% contained.

hi all i picked up a set of rs6 wheels that are marked 5x112 but wont fit.i have rs4's on now which are also marked 5x112 and they do fit. /??????????????????????????????
hi all i picked up a set of rs6 wheels that are marked 5x112 but wont fit.i have rs4's on now which are also marked 5x112 and they do fit. /??????????????????????????????
in what way dont they fit?
bolt holes or the depth of the tyres?
Or is it the centre bore that doesn't fit?
Probly 5x100 reps
Hello,yes they are reps ,its the bolt holes that don't line up but there clearly marked 5x112 i'm not that bothered tho i only bought them because the were cheap and when i say cheap i mean i got the set with 4 tyres witch are 90% for the price of one tyre so i'm now on the look out for a nice set of 19S
i have rs4 reps and they fit mine
get a picture of the back with a measurement between the bolt holes
ah way to far away,
i ment a picture of the holes with a ruler or messuring tape if there reps they could have been stamped up wrong, and might be 5 x 108 rather then 5 x 112
Last edited by boost-addict; 6th June 2013 at 20:29.
is it center to center i need to measure
no not on a 5 bolt
you draw an imaginary line round the bolts as a circle. or you can actually do it if it makes it easier. and messure from one bolt directly across the circle to the line as below
make sure you do this as acuratly as possible as 108 and 112 pcd is very close im unsure why vw/audi even bothered with the slightly diffrent sizes
Are there just 5 bolt holes or more? I had a set of reps which were multifit 5X110 or 5X112
don't know if you can see this...ahh posted before checking back here so i have measured them wrong,either way they wont fit so at least i have a cheap set of tyres.

Crash claims life of Newberg High School junior
17-year-old dies Saturday afternoon in single-vehicle crash
May 20, 2013 | 1 Comment
News-Register Staff
DUNDEE — A 17-year-old Newberg High School junior was killed about 5:15 p.m. Saturday in a single-vehicle crash on Northeast Fox Farm Road near Hidden Springs Road.
The Yamhill County Sheriff's Office identified the victim as Alex Neel Weiler of 949 Seventh St.
Capt. Tim Svenson of the sheriff's office gave this account:
Weiler, who was driving a 2001 Chevrolet Suburban, was southbound on Fox Farm Road toward Highway 99W. He lost control as he was negotiating a sharp "S" corner.
"He went off the side of the road, overcorrected, shot across the road and sideswiped a tree," Svenson said. "When he did that it caused a fuel line to snap and there was a fire.
"Witnesses, a passerby and a Newberg-Dundee police officer arrived within minutes and reported smoke and fire coming from the vehicle," Svenson said. "Attempts were made to get him out."
The rescue attempt included breaking windows out of the vehicle, but responding individuals were driven back by the heat and smoke of the fire, according to the captain.
Speed and slick road conditions contributed to the crash, Sheriff Jack Crabtree said.
In addition to the sheriff's office and Newberg-Dundee police, the Newberg and Dundee fire departments and Oregon State Police responded. The county's Victim and Witness Services Program handled family notifications.

YORK — The York Comprehensive High School football team used their open date last week in a positive way.
"The extra week of practice allowed the coaches to re-evaluate personnel and to work on the things we saw in the Chester game," coach Bobby Carroll said. "We also were able to devote more time to the fundamentals of the game. Football is all about the basic fundamentals."
Even coming early in the season, the rest week is beneficial, he said. "We have some minor bumps and bruises but should be OK injury-wise for Friday's Boiling Springs game," said Carroll.
Because of the open week, Carroll made the trek to Columbia last week to watch the South Carolina Gamecocks defeat the North Carolina Tar Heels to open the college football season.
He saw Jadeveon Clowney, the Gamecock All-American defensive end. Carroll coached Clowney while he spearheaded the South Pointe defense.
With the extra week of practice and the Columbia trip behind him, Carroll shifts his focus to Friday's clash with the offense-minded Boiling Springs Bulldogs.
He accompanied other Cougar coaches in scouting Boiling Springs, witnessing the Bulldogs' 40-13 thrashing of Nation Ford.
"Boiling Springs has an explosive offense," he said. "They execute extremely well."
Though nine YCHS defensive starters graduated, the Cougars are ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press South Carolina High School football poll.
And there are weapons in the offense.
Senior Jerome Pettiway and junior DeShaw Andrews rotate at the quarterback position. Each is big and physical, with a strong throwing arm.
Ryan Moore, a 200-pound bulldozer who has grit and speed, is a premier running back.
Markel Castle and Daurice Simpson are wide receivers who often move the chains after the catch.
While still looking for improvement on both sides of the ball, Carroll lauded the players for meeting the challenge against 3A powers Union County and Chester, ranked No. 4 and 6, respectively, in the state poll.
"We have young players who've bought into the system," he said.
Carroll said the second game of the season is pivotal.
"There's a well-known cliché among coaches that says how much improvement is made from week one to week two is vital to a team's success," he said.

A 19-year-old man playing with a remote control helicopter in Brooklyn lost control of it while trying to perform a trick, sliced off the top of his own head and died Thursday afternoon, law enforcement officials said. Brynn Gingras reports.
A 19-year-old man playing with a remote control helicopter in Brooklyn lost control of it while trying to perform a trick, sliced off the top of his own head and died Thursday afternoon, law enforcement officials said.
The helicopter enthusiast and his father were in Calvert Vaux Park at Shore Parkway and Bay 44th Street in Gravesend. Witnesses told detectives the teen, identified as Roman Pirozek Jr., was performing a trick with the model helicopter when something went wrong, and the aircraft boomeranged and sliced the top of his head, according to law enforcement officials.
Pirozek also sheared off part of his shoulder, officials said. He was killed instantly.
"I'll never forget it," said a shocked young witness. "It was scary."
Pirozek's father, Roman Pirozek Sr., broke down in tears as he returned to his Woodhaven, Queens home Thursday night. He declined to speak to reporters.
Neighbor Ralph Maisonett said, "It is the worst nightmare, to watch your son die."
Pirozek's neighbors said he worked at Kennedy Airport and was a world-recognized flyer who choreographed routines with the model helicopters.
Just days ago, he posted on his Facebook page that it was a "great day for flying."
Pirozek was a member of the Seaview Rotary Wings, a Brooklyn-based club for model helicopter enthusiasts, of which his father is also the vice president. The two of them flew model helicopters almost every weekend, sometimes traveling to competitions.
"It was their big hobby, and it's just very tragic to see and think about it," said neighbor Ken Marchisella.
"It's just an unreal event, that someone that young, that full of life, enjoying something, is gone," said family friend Dino Spadaccini. "It's an unbelievable tragedy."
Pirozek also had a YouTube page that documented his model helicopter flights.
"Every moment he had off from work or school, he'd be at the field with his friends," Spadaccini said.
Pirozek graduated in 2012 from the High School for Construction, Engineering and Architecture in Queens, according to his Facebook page.
No permits are necessary to operate RC helicopters, but it's recommended that hobbyists take extensive lessons before flying one, according to Dennis D'Annunzio, an expert with the company Rotomotion, which specializes in making and designing such helicopters.
When the proper precautions are followed, he says accidents are rare.
"People might burn themselves on a hot muffler or nick themselves on a blade but I've never heard of anything this tragic before," he told NBC 4 New York.

Martella's Pharmacy manager Chris Pfeil took a Renegade approach to his three pick-up selections for the 69th AAABA Tournament.
Pfeil used three Berkley Hills Renegades players to bolster his offense, add some speed and shore up his defense and pitching on Tuesday.
The Johnstown playoff runner-up added second baseman Dylin Brooks, pitcher Zachary DeTillio and shortstop Ricky Jones, who earned the local league's Ken Horoho Award as top rookie position player.
"We're adding more guys to do multiple things," Pfeil said. "We added two infielders that hit well. We've had solid pitching most of the season. We felt to add one pitcher would help with our depth.
"We felt we needed some offensive punch. Both of these guys (Brooks and Jones) run very well and fit into the type of game that we play."
Brooks batted .360 (36-for-100) and scored 30 runs for the Renegades during the regular season. He plays collegiately at Pitt-Greensburg.
"Dylin is a versatile athlete," said Pfeil, whose team will play the afternoon games at Point Stadium on Monday and Tuesday. "He had a great season at the plate.
"He hit close to .400. He's just a tough out. He only struck out three times all year. He gets the ball in play and runs very well," Pfeil added. "He's been in the league for three years and he brings some tournament experience. We felt it was important to get a guy in there who can run and move on the bases as well."
Jones had a .367 average (40-for-109) with 25 runs scored and 19 RBI.
He and DeTillio both play at IUP.
"Getting Ricky is another great option for us because he can play anywhere in the infield," Pfeil said. "He was even used in the closer role for the Renegades.
"He hit very well during the season. He's going to add some punch in the middle of the order. We struggled at the plate with runners on base, and we feel he's the type of guy who can drive in some runs."
DeTillio had a 4-1 record and 3.79 earned run average in 272⁄3 innings pitched.
The right-hander struck out 17 and walked 14.
"We didn't see Zach during the regular season. He came in relief against us in the playoffs," Pfeil said. "He throws hard. We were very impressed with how sharp his breaking ball is. We feel he can be another guy to give us starts or he could come out of the bullpen for us."
Pfeil said Martella's roster is at 20. The manager and his coaching staff opted to use only three of the available four pick-up selections.
"We're comfortable with where we're at," Pfeil said.
Regular-season and playoff champion Delweld made its pick-ups on Monday night.
Manager Chris DelSignore added outfielder Nate Campbell and left-handed pitcher Nate Spohn, both of the Renegades; and right-handed pitchers Chris Nolan and Ryan Bills of Laurel Auto Group.

At the AHR Expo, Las Vegas, NV, January 31, 2011 - Available in both standard and high velocity, with or without a removable cover, the 4900AD Series air and dirt separators lengthen the life of hydronic system components.
The scrubber system - with stainless steel PALL rings and basket assembly, easily removed by a single person � were developed with safety and ease of maintenance in mind. Each 4900 unit is designed, constructed, tested and certified to Section VIII Div. 1 of the ASME code.
The unique and patented PALL ring technology removes system water micro-bubbles and separates-out dirt particles from the flow. Dirt that is trapped settles to the bottom of the separator where it can be removed through a factory provided blowdown valve.
The 4900 Series is available for pipe sizes ranging from two to 36 inches. Designed to increase system efficiency, the 4900 Series helps to reduce system pressure drop so that smaller pumps can be used.
About Taco
Taco, Inc., headquartered in Cranston, RI, is a leading manufacturer of heating and cooling equipment, systems and accessories for hydronic-based applications in residential, commercial and institutional buildings worldwide.

Daily Item
---- — Movie director Quentin Tarantino dismisses the argument that movie violence is to blame for a spate of gun violence, including a movie theater shooting allegedly perpetrated by a gunman dressed like a movie character.
Of course, Tarantino knows very well how profitable movie violence can be and with his latest film coming out this holiday season, he may have a stake in making an argument diminishing the psychological damage of cinematic carnage.
Concern about the insidious effect of repeated, prolonged exposure to images of violence and how it may desensitize fragile or angry or isolated individuals has prompted a renewed national discussion. The National Television Violence Study found that nearly two of three TV programs contained some violence, averaging about six violent acts per hour.
Websites including kids-in-mind.com have begun to try to fill in the perceived shortcomings of the official moving ratings describing violence in the movies. The kids-in-mind.com site uses temperature gauge-style measures to describe the levels of violence, sexual imagery and profanity in the movies.
There is a general sense of skepticism about the will of elected officials to have the courage to stand up and expose themselves to the lobbying of the National Rifle Association. It will take something special to motivate the entertainment industry to make meaningful changes.
It can happen.
The anger and outrage of John Walsh after his son's kidnapping and murder spurred national action to develop more rapid and organized responses to child abductions. Mothers Against Drunk Driving helped move the national consciousness to recognize the danger of consuming alcohol or other drugs before getting behind the wheel. The same model has been employed to target other social needs.
Let's agree that society ought to explore ways to mitigate the likelihood that socially-isolated individuals may be influenced to commit wanton violence. What America needs now is an individual or organization to step forward to lead the crusade to encourage a more responsible attitude toward the presentation of violence in the media.

moreGood listening skills are vital to learning and to everyday life. Educational research shows a direct link between the ability to listen effectively, and measurable intelligence. If we improve listening skill, we improve IQ. Yet though we often complain about students' listening skills, do we apply focused teaching to improve them? The Learning To Listen series increases student ability to sustain retentive listening over time. Each book consists of 20 appealing, high-interest stories to be read to students. After listening to each story, students complete a related listening comprehension activity. These require students to retain specific information from the story to answer given questions. Details requiring recall relate to such details as colour, order of events, sounds, sights and characters discussed in the story. Activities can be completed as a class, in groups or individually. Initially, as written or aural clues, students are given particular information to listen for before the story is read. As their listening ability develops, memory cues are reduced. Creative expression extension activities accompany each story. Don't just talk about how students should learn to listen. Do something about it. less

Linguine with sausages
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
2 medium garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 can (28 ounces) peeled whole tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 hot Italian sausages, each about 4 ounces and 1 inch thick (I used turkey sausage)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil leaves
1 pound linguine (I used whole wheat fettucini)
1 cup toasted bread crumbs (optional)
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat 350 to 450 degrees, or heat grill pan. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion and garlic. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrot and oregano. Cook 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Over a large bowl, crush tomatoes in your hands and add them, along with all the juices, to the saucepan. Season with the salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to break apart any large pieces of tomato. Brush the cooking grates clean. Cook sausages until no longer pink in the center, 6 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Thinly slice them crosswise and then roughly chop them. Add the sausages and basil to the saucepan. Stir. Keep warm. In large pot of boiling salted water, cook linguine until tender. Drain the linguine and return it to the pot. Add the sauce. Toss to combine. Cover the pot for 1 minute to allow the pasta to absorb some sauce. Sprinkle toasted bread crumbs on top, if desired. Serve warm. Yield: 4-6 servings.

RAY BROOK — The new chief counsel for the Adirondack Park Agency is a familiar face.
Former APA commissioner James P. Townsend has been hired to replace John Banta, who retired in April 2012 after three decades with the agency.
The position is salaried; Banta earned $105,694 in 2008, according to the New York State Public Payroll 2008 Times Union database.
The incoming counsel's salary was not announced in a statement issued by APA, which operates with a $5.7 million annual budget, reduced by $105,000 for this fiscal year because of union concessions made with the onset of the current contract.
A Rochester attorney, Townsend previously served 11 years on the APA's Board of Commissioners.
He was appointed to the post by Gov. George Pataki in June of 1999 and held the seat until May of 2010.
In that time, Townsend chaired several APA committees: Legal Affairs, Regulatory Programs and State Land, and he also worked on high-profile issues as part of the administrative, enforcement, and Local Government Services committees.
The hire was recommended by APA Executive Director Terry Martino and approved by the Board of Commissioners.
Townsend will begin working at APA on Jan. 29.
He is currently a partner with the Rochester law firm Remington, Gifford, Williams & Colicchio LLP.
"APA staff eagerly looks forward to Mr. Townsend assuming the helm as agency counsel," Martino said in the statement issued as APA met on Thursday.
"As we enter the 40th anniversary of the APA, we are poised to undertake a meaningful review of our regulatory programs to ensure we effectively address our statutory mandate. Mr. Townsend is the right person to guide us forward."
APA Chairwoman Leilani Ulrich said in the news release that the APA was delighted to welcome Townsend back.
"For more than a decade, Mr. Townsend worked tirelessly on complicated Park issues and has a proven track record of accomplishments on behalf of the Adirondacks," she said. "His unique skill set will be a tremendous asset for the Agency."
