Housing Policies
Adherence to the following policies is vital to a safe, fair and enjoyable community within the residence halls. Any violation of the policies listed here and in the Housing License Agreement may result in administrative or disciplinary actions of varying severity up to and including removal from university housing.
Air Conditioning
Students are not permitted to bring air conditioners without permission from Housing Services. A student may request the installation of an air conditioner for medical reasons only. A student will need to provide documentation as specified below under Housing Disability Accommodation Procedures and Rates. Once the need is documented and approved, students approved for an air conditioning unit must contact their Facility Coordinator about the air conditioning unit they plan to purchase. Students must purchase the air conditioning unit themselves and get the unit to their room. The air conditioning installation and removal process must be completed by Housing Services through a submitted maintenance request.
Housing Services offers the opportunity for the student to select into a room with air conditioning during the Room Selection and First-Year Assignment processes. If a student is not successful with selecting into a room with air conditioning at their designated time of selection or assignment, please contact the Housing Services Assignments Team to initiate a room change or to install air conditioning. In the event of a room change, roommate requests or hall preferences may not be guaranteed during the placement process.
Bicycle racks are provided in residential areas where appropriate. No bicycles shall be parked or stored in such a manner as to block entrance/exit from any building, to impede the normal movement of wheelchair users or others with special mobility needs, and/or to any interior or exterior stairway or railing. Storage of bicycles should not violate fire safety regulations. Such violations in residential buildings will result in removal and storage of the bicycle. Students may be charged a fine and storage costs. While every attempt will be made to not damage a bicycle while in the process of removal or storage, the university is not liable for damage to a bicycle removed because of a violation. To claim a bicycle removed from a residential building, contact Campus Police. Bicycles are to be "walked" inside any residential building. This information is in addition to the university policy on bikes.
Bulletin Boards and Posting Notices
The posting of notices, announcements or posters on bulletin boards in residence halls is restricted to recognized student organizations or to individual Carnegie Mellon students. Bulletin boards in the living areas of residence halls are regulated by the Residential Life staff, while bulletin boards in other public areas are regulated by Student Government. Bulletin boards in individual living units are under the direct control of the Resident Assistant (RA) and the members of that living unit. Students or recognized student organizations wishing to disseminate information through these bulletin boards should make a request to the Residential Life staff to distribute notices to RAs for posting.
Cancellation of Housing & Refund Policy
In general, housing cancellations and refunds are not issued unless a student is leaving the university, due to leave a leave of absence, suspension, withdrawal from the university or studying abroad. Any student who is released from their housing contract will be assessed a $400 housing cancellation fee, which is a non-refundable fee, unless the cancellation request is made during the Open Cancellation period in the spring semester immediately following Room Selection (see below.) It is the student's responsibility to contact Housing Services if they will not be returning to the university, or if they are a current resident taking a leave or withdrawing mid-semester.
Students who participated in Room Selection have an opportunity immediately following Room Selection to cancel their housing assignments within the timeline of the Open Cancellation Period. As long as the cancellation request is made during the open cancellation period window of time, students will not be assessed the cancellation fee. Please visit Room Selection - Housing Cancellations Web page for more information.
Christmas Trees and Decorations
Natural Christmas trees and greens are not permitted in university housing because of the significant fire hazard they create. Holiday decorations are permitted, but they may not use electrical lights or other devices that have not been approved by Underwriters Laboratories.
Common Area Painting
In recent years, student mural projects in residential facilities are making a return. Students desire to paint a common area (lounge/study/recreation room/hallway) of a residential building must receive permission from Housing Services. Students will work to coordinate any project through their housefellow. All proposed projects will be reviewed and approved/denied by their housefellow and Housing Services. Students must receive, review and complete the Common Area Painting Guidelines and Registration Form available in the Housing Services office. This information is to be completed and presented to residential life staff and Housing Services along with a detailed drawing of the proposed design. Once approved, the painting may begin. Appropriate creativity is encouraged and some communities have sponsored contests to identify designs. Contact a Housing Services or residential life staff member for details and support.
Common Area Responsibility
As stated in the Housing License Agreement, each resident is responsible for any damages or losses that occur in the assigned living areas or to any of the furnishings therein and the residents may be charged the cost of any repairs, replacement or reasonable custodial service. Each student is, with the other residents, jointly responsible for whatever damage may occur, for any cause, to public and semi-public areas in the residence halls. All residents may be charged a prorated share of the cost of repairing public areas.
Cooking in residence hall rooms is strictly prohibited for health and safety reasons. It is permitted only in areas specifically provided as kitchen areas, such as apartment kitchens and common area kitchens properly equipped by the university. (Exception: "compact" microwave ovens under 700 watts are permitted in residence hall rooms.)
Electrical Appliances
No electrical appliances that incorporate unshielded heating elements and/or draw more than 700 watts may be used in campus residence buildings, including student rooms and all building common areas.
Prohibited items include (but are not limited to) any pressure cookers, hot plates, toasters/toater ovens, coffee pots, electric kettles, rice cookers, induction cooktops, and any appliance that uses more than 700 watts. Microwaves, refrigerators, and Keurigs are only permitted if they are 700 watts or less. Electric irons may be used only in areas where special utility outlets are provided, such as in designated utility or laundry rooms. If you are uncertain about whether or not an item is prohibited, please contact Housing Services prior to purchasing.
Fire Safety
Residents incur a penalty fee of $200 for violating fire-safety guidelines. Furniture left in corridors that cannot be identified will be returned to storage by Housing Services facilities crew to avoid fire hazards.
In Case of Fire...
- Close all windows within your area to prevent cross drafts from entering the building.
- Keep all interior and exterior fire doors closed to prevent cross drafts from entering the building; this will help retard the spread of fire.
- Avoid any unnecessary running. Any action that might cause others to panic must be carefully avoided.
- Avoid using elevators for evacuation. Power failures can cause the elevator to stick between floors; smoke and fire can travel up through the elevator shaft.
- Travel downward on stairwells unless your area offers no other means of exit.
- Approach stairwell entrances with caution; you may be merging with evacuees from other floors.
- Familiarize yourself with the locations of all available exits. Should an exit be blocked by smoke or fire, you will need to go to the next available exit.
- Look back at your building after you've cleared the exits; someone may be signaling for assistance from a window. Don't interfere with rescue efforts, but do alert firefighters to the person's presence; you will help speed the rescue.
Large concentrations of smoke can be produced during even small fires, depending upon the type of material that is burning. The smoke and toxic gases developed by fires cause more fatalities than the actual flames.
Although the probability of becoming trapped by flames before an evacuation can be made from an area might be low, the possibility of having an exit route rendered impassable by heavy smoke and toxic gases can be greater.
These instructions should help anyone who finds his/her ability to safely evacuate an area suddenly cut off by smoke or flames. If you suspect a fire is located outside of your immediate area (smoke creeping under the door or a sudden increase in room temperature), do the following:
- Do not touch any part of the door with your bare hand. Instead, use your coat, shirt, skirt or some other material to protect your hand on the door and only partially open the door while standing behind it for protection. Quickly survey the conditions existing within the corridor or outer area. If flames are close by, or if the area is filled with dense smoke, you may not be able to safely evacuate.
- Close the door and use any available material (towels, shirt, blouse, etc.) to seal threshold openings in an attempt to prevent smoke from entering the room. If a water source is available, soak the materials before packing them into place.
- Contact Campus Police at 412-268-2323. Tell the dispatcher your name, telephone number from which you are calling, your exact location and that you are confined in that area by smoke or fire. Firefighters and Campus Police will be immediately notified in order that a rescue attempt may begin.
- Open a window partially and stay near it, keeping low and breathing the fresher air from outside. If you are in an area in which the windows cannot be opened, carefully break the glass near the bottom of the pane by standing off to one side of the window and striking the glass with a heavy object.
- Signal your location using a coat, shirt, sheets of paper taped together or other available material by holding onto and waving the item outside of the window. (At night make certain that room lights are on so that you are clearly visible from outside.) People evacuating the building will quite naturally look back and see your signal, then alert rescue teams.
- Remain as calm as you can, breathing normally only the fresher air supplied by the open window. Once your location has been determined, rescue efforts will begin.
Guests and Visitors
Visitors and guests are allowed in residence halls. This permits students to conveniently meet for academic, personal and social reasons. At all times, residents are personally responsible for the actions of their guests. As a result, residents are responsible for any damage, physical or otherwise, to the community caused by their visitors. If the guests are Carnegie Mellon students, then they also accept responsibility for their actions.
All visitors or guests to a room are subject to the approval of all room residents. Overnight guests are not permitted for more than two consecutive nights. Overnight guests who are not university residents should register with the residential life staff to ensure knowledge of their presence in case emergency situations arise.
Henderson Wellness House
Henderson House is designated as a wellness community promoting holistic health and well-being within a traditional residence hall setting. House residents are expected to maintain a substance free (no alcohol, tobacco or other drugs) lifestyle and environment for themselves and guests.
Housing Disability Accommodation Policy
Carnegie Mellon University does not discriminate in the provision of housing to students with disabilities. Carnegie Mellon will provide reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities who need special housing accommodations to ensure that students with disabilities receive comparable, convenient and accessible housing at the same cost as to other students. Carnegie Mellon will make reasonable modifications to its housing policies, procedures and practices when such modifications are necessary to avoid discrimination, unless such modifications would fundamentally alter the nature of the housing services provided by the University.
Housing Disability Accommodation Procedures and Rates
All students requesting a housing accommodation must complete and submit a University Housing Accommodation Request Form. Requests for accommodations will be reviewed by a committee led by the Office of Disability Resources with representation from Housing Services, University Health Services, and Counseling and Psychological Services. This committee will initiate an interactive dialogue with the student as necessary to determine the student's needs and appropriate reasonable housing accommodations. For both First-Year Students and Upper-Class Students, Housing Services will assign students a specific room as necessary to provide a reasonable accommodation (Accommodation Room).
Housing Accommodations are reviewed on an annual basis. Accommodations based on temporary disabilities may not continue into future semesters if the accommodation is no longer medically necessary.
Upper-Class students receiving housing accommodations may opt to decline the Accommodation Room assigned and select a different room that would also satisfy the accommodation, if available, through the room selection process. In such cases, the Upper-Class student will be responsible for paying the full cost of the room selected.
Housing Services uses the following principles to determine the room assignment and rate charged to students with disabilities who receive a housing accommodation.
- General Rule – For students who require a specific room or specific type of room as an accommodation (e.g. single room, room with kitchen or bathroom), the student will be charged no more than the Base Rate representing the most common type of room assignment for individuals who do not have housing accommodations. Students whose housing accommodation requires a specific type of room that is more expensive than the Base Rate will not be charged more than the Base Rate, except where an Upper-Class student opts to decline the assigned accommodation and select a different room.
- Base Rates – Base Rates represent the most common type of room for students without a housing accommodation. The room type used for the Base Rate is the type of room the student most likely would have received if the student did not receive a housing accommodation.
- First-Year Base Rate = Standard Double
- Upper-Class Bass Rate = Prime Double
- Air Conditioning and Portable Fixtures – Students who require air conditioning or other portable fixtures as an accommodation (e.g. refrigerator, fan, air filter, no carpet, etc.) will not be charged extra for the installation or removal of such fixtures. Housing Services will perform all air conditioning installations. In the event that air conditioning cannot be installed in a particular room, the student will be reassigned to a room with air conditioning.
- Declined Accommodations / Upper-Class Room Selection – Upper-Class students may opt to decline the room assigned as an accommodation (Accommodation Room) and select a different room, if available, through the room selection process. In the case where a student declines the Accommodation Room and selects a different room, the student will be responsible for paying the full cost of the room selected.
- Mid-Semester Room Transfers – In cases where a student is currently living in university housing (Original Room) and requests a transfer to a different room as an accommodation for a disability, the student will pay the lesser of the rate of the Original Room and the room provided as an accommodation.
As a general principle, students with disabilities who receive a housing accommodation will be charged the same rate for the room in which they would have lived but for the accommodation. In most cases, the Base Rate represents the rate of the room the student most likely would have lived in if an accommodation was not necessary. However, there may be unique circumstances where a rate lower than the Base Rate is appropriate. As such, Carnegie Mellon reserves the right to make modifications to these procedures on a case-by-case basis when such modifications are necessary to avoid discrimination.
Hoverboards (temporary ban)
In consultation with Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S), Housing Services has decided to immediately issue a temporary ban on hoverboards from being present in all university-operated housing (including all residence halls, apartments, fraternities and sororities). This ban will remain in effect until further notice while we await governmental review regarding the safety of these devices. At that juncture, if a permanent policy on hoverboards is deemed advisable, we will certainly involve the student body in its development and implementation.
Students found in violation of this policy may be subject to community standards review. If you currently possess a hoverboard, we recognize that you may need assistance making shipping arrangements (due to postal regulations) or storing it until a later date. Should you find yourself in this situation, please contact your Housing Services Facility Coordinator (FC) as soon as possible. Your FC will work with EH&S to assist you toward ensuring that your device is safely shipped or stored.
Illegal Possession of Keys
Students are responsible for access gained through the use of their keys. Swapping keys is not permitted as your name data is embedded in each key card. Students found using or having in their possession keys to any university doors or facilities that they are unauthorized to use or possess will be subject to disciplinary action.
Improper Use of University Facilities
Improper use of facilities will be construed as the occupation, alteration or use of university facilities that would create a potential fire hazard, safety hazard to any person or property, or potential danger to any person or property.
Inspection and Privacy
Authorized representatives of the university may enter resident accommodations at any time to inspect facilities or to carry out repairs and maintenance. The inspection of facilities will be conducted with at least 24 hours prior notice in writing whenever that notice can be reasonably given. If any Housing Services or residential life staff member enters a student room without a prior request or written notice, the student will receive a report documenting the time and purpose of entry. The university may authorize entrance to an accommodation if convinced that a clear and present danger or a violation of the university's regulations requires such entrance. (This regulation applies to campus housing as well as other university space).
Microwave Ovens
Residents may bring their own compact microwaves to campus as long as they are under 700 watts.
Open Flames and Burning
Open flames or burning materials of any kind, including candles, incense and other combustibles, are absolutely prohibited in university housing.
Outdoor Poster Policy for Residential Areas
No signs, posters or banners of any size shall be hung outside or around any residential building, except upon special request. This applies to all residence halls, apartment buildings and houses as well as fraternities and sororities. Special consideration may be given, on request, for groups to use outdoor postings during university-wide special events. Requests for exceptions to this policy should be made to the Director of Housing Services.
Animals and Pets
Except as set forth below, pets and other animals are not permitted in any university housing facilities, including fraternities and sororities.
- Fish in an aquarium no larger than twenty (20) gallons are permitted in university housing facilities.
- Service animals are permitted inside university housing facilities but may be prohibited from accessing certain environments where the presence of an animal presents a health or safety risk (e.g. kitchens, laboratories, sterile facilities, etc.). Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Student residents who wish to maintain a service animal in their dormitory should notify the Office of Disability Resources.
- Emotional support animals may be permitted within a student's personal living space in a university housing facility, with prior written approval from the Office of Disability Resources. An emotional support animal is an animal that is necessary to afford a person with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling when there is an identifiable relationship or nexus between the person's disability and the assistance the animal provides. Requests for accommodations regarding emotional support animals should be submitted to the Office of Disability Resources.
In addition, the following standards apply to service animals and/or emotional support animals maintained in university residence facilities:
- Any emotional support animal or service animal must be healthy and free of communicable disease. If appropriate for the animal, documentation of all veterinarian recommended vaccination must be provided to the Office of Disability Resources. New proof of vaccination must be provided before the previous proof of vaccination expires.
- Dogs must be properly registered with the City of Pittsburgh: http://www.pittsburghpa.gov/animalcontrol/dog_licenses.htm. Registration documentation must be submitted annually to the Office of Disability Resources.
- Emotional support animals are only permitted in the approved student's private living space. Animals are not permitted in any public or common spaces within the residence facility, except as necessary to bring the animal into and out of the building as needed. Housing Services or the Office of Student Life may establish reasonable restrictions on how an emotional support animal is transported into and out of the building.
- Emotional support animals approved by the Office of Disability Resources for university residence facilities are not permitted inside other campus buildings. See The Word.
- Emotional support animals are not permitted in the private living spaces of other residents of the facility.
- The student is responsible for any damages caused by the service animal or emotional support animal in the student's private living space or elsewhere.
- The student is responsible for the behavior of the service animal or emotional support animals, even when the student is not present in the living space.
- The student is responsible for providing appropriate care for the service animal or emotional support animal at all times, including the clean-up and disposal of any waste. Animal waste or bags containing animal waste cannot be placed in garbage chutes or common area trash cans.
- The service animal or emotional support animal may not be disruptive to the community. Disruptive animals may be removed.
- Emotional support animals must wear collars and identification tags at all times.
- Carnegie Mellon reserves the right to remove any animal that is not appropriately cared for. To ensure that appropriate care is available at all times, students are encouraged to establish a plan to care for the animal in the event the student is unable to do so (e.g. due to illness or emergency).
- Carnegie Mellon reserves the right to establish other reasonable expectations or restrictions at any time to ensure the health or safety of the community.
Individuals with concerns or complaints regarding animals in residence facilities should contact a Resident Assistant or University Police.
Personal Property and Insurance
Students are responsible for insuring their own own personal property, including for losses due to fire, smoke, water and theft. The University is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage to the Student's personal property and does not provide any property or liability insurance coverage for Student's benefit. The University reserves the right to store at no liability for a limited period of time (for a period not to exceed 30 days), discard or donate personal property or any other belongings remaining in an accommodation after the accommodation has been assigned to another student or has not been vacated by a prescribed time. The University reserves the right to charge the Student a fee for any storage of personal property or other belongings provided by it.
Privacy and Behavior Standards
All residents have the right to determine the private activity that takes place in their assigned rooms. Members of the floor also have the right to determine community standards for the floor. Roommates have equal voice in determining the private activities of the room, and one roommate's rights must not infringe upon another roommate's rights.
Public Lounge Facilities
At the beginning of each academic year, a layout of each lounge area and its contents will be inventoried and may be posted in the lounge. The furniture and contents of the lounge facilities should not be removed from the lounges under any circumstances without the expressed authorization of the building's Facility Coordinator. In addition to disciplinary action, student(s) found with common area furniture will be charged the standard hourly labor rate to return each piece to its proper location.
Quiet Hours
Quiet hours for all residential areas are 8 pm - 8 am on Sunday through Thursday nights, and Midnight - 9 am on Friday and Saturday nights. During finals week or reading days, 24-hour quiet hours will be in effect. For long vacation weekends, weekend hours will be in effect until the night before classes resume. Courtesy hours exist at all other times, during which the right of residents to live in an environment free from bothersome noise should be respected.
"Quiet" is defined as being unable to hear any noise at a distance of 10 feet from a room with a closed door. During "courtesy" hours, noise can be considered bothersome if it can be heard at a distance of 50 feet.
Keep in mind, though, that the notion of "courtesy" more broadly involves structuring your activities, so that other people in your living unit are not adversely affected by noise. In particular, all residents are encouraged to carefully plan their use of sound equipment (such as stereos and TVs) or their social gatherings so that the noise produced by them does not infringe upon the rights of others.
The established quiet hours stated above are the minimums for every residential area. If you or anyone in your living unit believes that quiet hours should be extended, contact your Resident Assistant (RA) or Student Dormitory Council representative. That person has the authority to conduct a vote of the people living in your area and, pending unanimous approval, extended quiet hours will be implemented.
If you have concerns in relation to quiet hours or courtesy hours in your living area, please feel free to consult your RA. The RA is your primary advocate in situations involving noise violations and can assist you by addressing any questions or concerns you may have.
Quiet Living Areas
Designated university operated apartments in the Oakland Community and other designated residence hall buildings or floors offer quiet living, a particularly desirable alternative to traditional on-campus housing for undergraduate students. One of the greatest advantages of these apartments and residence hall rooms is the quiet, mature environment they provide.
This designation provides an assurance to all residents in these buildings, and to all residents in the surrounding area, that resident students will act with the highest degree of common courtesy and respect for others in maintaining a particularly quiet and unobtrusive environment.This designation includes a provision for an extension of the university's current quiet hours policy to 24 hours. As such, residents will be responsible for ensuring that the noise generated within their apartments or residence hall room is not audible at a distance of ten feet from their apartment or residence hall room. Common courtesy will be expected; residents should respond to any request from a fellow resident to reduce the noise level from their apartment or residence hall room, even if already within this guideline.
The following specific guidelines will also exist:
- Stereos, televisions and radios will be permitted but must be used only in accordance with the general policy.
- Use of musical instruments will not be permitted.
- Social events and private gatherings will be permitted; however, they must be very small and are subject to the above standards.
It is hoped that this designation of a quiet living area will allow students choosing this area to maintain a residential environment which will enhance the academic atmosphere and support the important goal of maintaining these special off-campus housing options in the Oakland Community and the special living environments offered on-campus.
Residents may bring their own mini-refrigerators to campus as long as they are smaller than 4.5 cubic feet and operate on 110/120 VAC. Residents who do not remove personal mini-refrigerators upon checking out will have their student accounts charged $40 per hour for removal and $160 for refrigerator disposal.
Right to Housing Privileges
In signing a Housing License Agreement, each resident agrees to abide by whatever regulations may be established by the university, Housing Services, the Residential Life staff, the Student Dormitory Council or the individual living units. Any resident student whose conduct does not meet the standards established for the university community may be denied the privilege of campus residency.
Room Condition Responsibility
All residents of a room or apartment are equally responsible for the accommodation and its furnishings. At the end of each academic year, any damages to a student's room will be charged to the occupants of that room.
Room Painting or Alterations
Students are not permitted to paint rooms or other residential areas. Housing Services maintains a rotation schedule that allows for all residential areas to be painted on a regular basis. Students who paint their room without authorization will be charged the cost of having the room professionally painted.
All residential areas within the university housing system except for Fairfax Apartments and Webster Hall are smoke-free living environments. This policy prohibits the smoking of tobacco or any other substance in residential areas. In accordance with Housing Services policies, residents must also abide by policies prohibiting the use of any open flame for any reason, including but not limited to the burning of candles, incense, etc. This designation not only includes the actual residents of the area, but also extends to their guests. As such residents will be responsible for ensuring that any violation of this policy will be reported to the proper authorities and any violations of this policy will be appropriately enforced. The Smoke-free Living Policy was developed through the efforts of students, faculty and staff to assist residents and their guests to maintain a residential environment, which minimizes their exposure to second hand smoke and its impact on the health of others. Smoking is permitted in Fairfax Apartments and Webster Hall as long as all the residents of the room agree.
Solicitation and Sales
Unauthorized door-to-door sales and/or solicitation are expressly prohibited in any residence area. "Solicitation" is defined to mean any effort to ask for donations or contributions of money, goods or services. "Sales" are defined to mean any activity of offering a product or service in exchange for money, goods or other services. In exceptional cases, an individual or group seeking permission to be in the residential areas for the purpose of soliciting or selling must receive an expressed, written authorization from the Director of Housing Services or his/her designee. In most cases, those recognized groups or individuals that receive permission to be in the residence halls will be restricted to tables reserved for such purposes in public areas or lobbies.
Swimming Pools and Hot Tubs
Swimming pools and hot tubs are prohibited because of the hazards associated with drowning, electrocution and the weight of large volumes of water. Because we cannot guarantee that all necessary safety precautions will be taken, students are not permitted to have or use swimming pools and/or hot tubs. Reducing the size of the pool or tank does not remove the hazard.
University Furniture
Unwanted room furniture cannot be stored during the academic year. Closet doors in rooms and apartments also may not be removed. Do not, under any circumstances, leave furniture in the hallway corridors. Rooms with missing furniture at the end of the academic year will be charged the full replacement cost for each missing item. This also applies to summer housing residents.
Waterbeds are prohibited in university housing because of the potential for significant damage to the residence halls and to students' personal property if a waterbed breaks or is vandalized.
Window Screens
Students are not permitted to remove screens from their windows. Missing screens or screens that have been removed from windows will be reinstalled at the student's expense.
Wires and Utility Lines
No wire may be strung outside any living unit or any alterations made to any university residential building without the express permission of Housing Services. This includes satellite dishes, radio and television aerials.
In addition, no student or student organization may alter or tap into university utility lines, television antenna wires or cable lines without the express permission of Housing Services (in the case of resident facilities) or Facilities Management Services (in the case of other campus buildings).

Titans preparing for next season
Mon, 14 Apr 2014 01:33:31 GMT —
The Albany Tech Titans basketball team is entering the offseason from a productive year, but that was then and this is now.
The offseason gives coaches time to think about who they have on the roster and what spots need to be filled.
Over the weekend Albany Tech hosted an open tryout for the 2014-2015 basketball season.
Titans head coach Sylvester Patterson has been busy signing the big guys in the paint all last week, so this weekend was about the long range scoring.
Coach Patterson said, "we are looking for guards and point guards who can score and handle the ball for us."
Locals with and without college experience spent the afternoon in HPER Gym on Albany State's campus to try and earn a spot on the Titans roster.
Patterson was leading the young players in different shooting drills and checking out what kind of ball handling skills each player had.
Although Patterson has a history of signing kids on the spot, today was about grabbing his attention for a future signing.

What To Bake: Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Brad McDonald's Pecan Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting
Makes 12-14
100g softened unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
200g light soft brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 quantity of Muffuletta dough (see below)
200g pecan nuts, chopped
For the muffuletta dough
30g fresh yeast?(or 15g dried yeast)
480ml warm water
2 tbsp sugar
600g plain flour
300g strong bread flour
50g lard
2 tsp sea salt
For the cream cheese frosting
450g cream cheese
110g butter
900g icing sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
To make the muffuletta dough, mix the yeast with the water and sugar and leave until frothy. Put the flours and lard in an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. With the machine on medium speed, gradually add the yeast mixture to form a fairly soft dough, adding more flour if it is too wet. Knead for 4-5 minutes, then add the salt and knead for another 3-4 minutes.
Combine the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon and use a fork to mix.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 30x40cm rectangle. Spread the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the pecans on top. Roll it up tightly, then, keeping it seam-side down, cut it into slices about 2.5cm thick. Nestle the lot in a greased 30x45cm baking tray, cover loosely with cling film and leave to rise for 20-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
Place in an oven heated to 180?C/gas mark 4 and bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile, beat all the ingredients for the frosting together, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
When the buns come out of the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then spread generously with the cream cheese frosting.

The Big Showcase Of Online T-Shirt Stores
- By Callum Chapman
- November 20th, 2009
- 99 Comments
T-shirts, as you'll surely agree, play a big part in the design world. Sometimes, we designers don't get the kinds of projects we want, and so we are left to apply our creativity in some other way, many of us opting to submit graphics in t-shirt competitions or printing them ourselves and selling them through shopping cart systems such as BigCartel. In this post, we bring you a showcase of online t-shirt store Web designs, all of which serves as a great source of inspiration for Web designers, graphic designers and even illustrators.

Multicriteria Evaluation of National Entrepreneurship In Newly EU Countries
When evaluating entrepreneurship at the national level, the influence of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) on the state economic development is analyzed. Also, the impact of significant factors (goods and services competitiveness, innovations, diversification, clusterization, creating social value, etc.) on SMEs working effectiveness (respectively improving the entrepreneurial efficiency) is investigated. When focused on the national economic competitiveness as a general criterion, the principles and models for consolidated quantitative estimation of national entrepreneurship development level are applicable for newly admitted EU countries (on account of some of their specific factors). The results of assessing the entrepreneurship level in 2009-2010 and the nearest future are presented in this study using Lithuania's data as a typical case. The multicriteria estimation process includes the identification and expert examination, in addition to quantifiable assessment of essential primary indicators. Moreover, the pillar indexes underlying them and entrepreneurship development index using the significance parameters of primary indicators are determined by the authors. The relative impact of the different primary and partial criteria is taken into account by calculation of the integrated criterion–level index, which allows us to evaluate more adequate differences in newly EU countries. To improve the (World Economic Forum) WEF methodology, the authors are using various, not predetermined, weights of primary indicators, also indexes of performance and propose a more adequate differentiation of significances for the pillars. The complex evaluation of the primary indicators influencing business may be used for the strategic solutions reasoning.

Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia
My friends have been divorced for 10 years and the wife remarried. In their divorce decree it specifically states that the wife forfeits all rights as a beneficiary of 401k. The husband never changed the beneficiary information and the wife went up and took his 401k. Can the children get it back from her?
Asked on 8/02/13, 11:19 am
1 Answer from Attorneys
Paul B. Ward Law Offices of Paul B. Ward
The answer probably hinges on whether the 401(k) was a Federal plan or a private plan. If it was a Federal plan, the children may be barred from recovering from the former wife.

Baylor College Bowl Team To Compete For National Title
Contact: Lori Fogleman (254) 710-6275
After sweeping through the Region 12 tournament in February, Baylor University's College Bowl team will compete for the national title April 21-23 at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. This marks the second time in three years that Baylor has advanced to the College Bowl national tournament.
Baylor's team is composed of team captain Seth Paul Boutin, a senior University Scholar from Keithville, La.; John Solter, a junior entrepreneurship/finance major from Prairie Village, Kan.; Erik Ellis, a senior University Scholar from Catoosa, Okla.; Stephanie Bialko, a junior anthropology major from Dumont, N.J.; and Garrett Phillips, a senior University Scholar from Round Rock. The team is coached by Dr. Brent M. Froberg, a lecturer in classics who competed in College Bowl himself when he was a student at Indiana University.
For decades, College Bowl - known as "The Varsity Sport of the Mind" - has provided the arena for the fastest minds in school to demonstrate their great skills under the fire of varsity competition. The world-famous game of questions and answers played by two teams of competing students was first featured on the NBC radio network from 1953-57, and then on TV as the "GE College Bowl" from 1959-70.
In 1977, College Bowl in conjunction with the Association of College Unions International (ACUI), organized official competition at the campus, regional and national championship levels. The first College Bowl National Championship Tournament and World's Championship were held in June of 1978, won by Stanford and a team of British all-stars, respectively.
With 15 teams competing, the Region 12 College Bowl tournament was one of the largest in all of the 15 regions. The competition featured a modified round-robin format with a seven-team division and an eight-team division. Each team in a division played all of the other teams in its division, and at the end of the round-robin, the top two teams in each division played a four-team double elimination tournament to determine this year's champion.
The Baylor squad rolled undefeated through the regional tournament in Houston, outscoring teams from Midwestern State, SMU, Texas A&M-Kingsville, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Rice, Arkansas and Harding University in the first part of the competition. In the double-elimination round, Baylor defeated Harding University 330-190, Rice 330-90 and Harding again 285-245 for the championship.
Solter led balanced scoring from the Baylor team with all players ranking high in individual statistics.
"This team plays exceptionally well together and has an excellent sense of anticipation when it comes to recalling specific information quickly from a wide variety of specific academic disciplines and areas of general knowledge," Froberg said. "They are extremely quick. It astonishes me."
Baylor, as well as 14 other regional champions and a wild card team (selected by random draw among the second place regional teams), will compete in the National Championship Tournament. The main tournament is a full round robin, with games to be played Friday night and all day on Saturday. The NCT playoff format is a four-team double-elimination, which will be held on Sunday.
College Bowl is organized on three levels. Each school's Campus Program (CP) features a Campus Tournament open to all students. The best players from each school (four players and an alternate, with a limit of one graduate student) compete in the Regional Championship Tournament.
The Association of College Unions International (ACUI) has been College Bowl's educational partner since 1976. ACUI provides significant volunteer leadership in the overall management of the College Bowl Program. ACUI coordinates the planning and execution of the National Championship Tournament (NCT) with the College Bowl Company.

By Anish Puaar email@example.com February 22, 2013 1:05 PM GMT The latest approach by global regulators to establish a framework for margin payments against non-cleared swaps will eliminate some unnecessary costs but still fails to address the core concerns of banks.A joint consultation last week from the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) proposed an exemption for initial margin payments on the first €50 million of bilateral swaps deals. Variation margin would need to be posted, based on the mark-to-market value of a trade on a daily basis.As per their responsibilities under the Group of 20's 2009 mandate, US and European regulators are implementing rules that require OTC derivatives to be standardised, traded on exchange-like venues and centrally cleared. Swaps that cannot be standardised, and therefore remain bilaterally traded, would be subject to higher capital charges, to reflect the added risk they carry and incentivise the use of products that can be cleared.While the margin for cleared swaps will be held at central counterparties, many industry participants are questioning the need for banks to exchange collateral with each other for privately negotiated deals."Margin for non-cleared products has been a huge stumbling block for the Basel working group dealing with this issue," Alex McDonald, CEO of the Wholesale Markets Brokers' Association (WMBA), told theTRADEnews.com. "The idea of banks paying each other initial margin to each other could be inefficient and potentially fraught with operational risk."Rather than mandating the use of margin for non-cleared swaps, some brokers believe the best approach is to hold capital based on the risk-weighted exposures banks hold with one another."The most efficient way to manage the risk of non-cleared swaps is to use pillar one risk-weighted asset charges that already existed under Basel I and work perfectly well if calibrated correctly," added David Clark, chairman, WMBA. "This could be 2% for cleared products, as is the current direction of regulatory travel, but needs to be dynamic for bilateral swaps so it reflects the variety of risk profiles associated with these instruments."While the BCBS-IOSCO principles still impose initial margin requirements, the €50 million threshold still appears sensible, according to Clark."By waiving margin for the first €50 million of exposures, you eliminate the need for small ticket corporate and bank hedging activity which generally net out and do not constitute a substantial risk," he said. "This appears to be a sensible trade off for the time being."The initial margin requirement for non-cleared swaps was criticised by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, which conducted analysis that showed it would cost an extra US$1.7 trillion – US$10.2 trillion in collateral, depending on whether internal models or standardised schedules are used.The buy-side is expected not to be as concerned with margin for non-cleared swaps, given the phase-in period and thresholds that apply to when initial margin must be posted.The IOSCO-BCBS paper states that in 2015, any "entity belonging to a group whose aggregate month-end average notional amount of non-centrally-cleared derivatives for the last three months of 2014 exceeds €3.0 trillion" will have to pay initial margin, which is not likely to cover any institutional investment firm. After 2019, the threshold drops to €8 billion on a permanent basis, which will cover many more asset managers. In lieu of the punitive margin regime for non-cleared swaps, buy-side firms are already preparing for changes to the instruments they trade."The long phase-in period is welcome and will mean we will not have to post initial margin in the next few years," said Emmanuel Rolland, COO, derivatives management team at AXA Investment Managers, multi-asset client solutions department. "However, from that date onward, we will have to pay around four-to-five times more in initial margin for non-cleared swaps using the standardised initial margin, compared to cleared swaps, so we may look to more standardised instruments as an alternative given that currently the majority of our OTC derivatives trading would likely fall into the non-cleared bucket."The IOSCO-BCBS consultation – described by the two bodies as 'near-final' – will be open for comment until 15 March. related articles most popular most e-mailed FROM THETRADENEWS.COM DerivativesTradeweb launches swaptions trading on SEFDerivativesABN Amro Clearing to distribute Fidessa's derivatives EMSDerivativesFirst electronic inflation swap traded on Tradeweb DerivativesITG to form new derivatives execution and tech businessDerivativesCBOE to launch 10 S&P sector optionsRegulationFirms call on ESMA to review large-in-scale trading obligation FROM THE TRADE TVLCH Innovation in Clearing Award 2017 FROM THETRADENEWS.COMRegulationFCA lands ex-BAML trader with market abuse fineSell sideGoldman Sachs to trade equities for Bloomberg TradebookRegulationEurope's short selling rules up for reviewSell sideBNP Paribas teams up with market maker for US TreasuriesTechnologyTechnology chief at JP Morgan departs for role with analytics firmSell sideJP Morgan establishes SI for all fixed income products FROM THE TRADE TVLCH Innovation in Clearing Award 2017 FROM THETRADENEWS.COMRegulationEurope's short selling rules up for reviewTrading VenuesTRADEcho's smart report router links up to Cboe's APASell sideBNP Paribas teams up with market maker for US TreasuriesFixed incomeBlackRock, ICE and Pimco among first SEC fixed income committee membersTrading VenuesSGX to use blockchain for bond tradingDerivativesEuronext expansion puts investors in reach of Hong Kong FROM THE TRADE TVLCH Innovation in Clearing Award 2017

How will the CFL East be won in 2013?
Sure, it's still two months before free agency opens up, but given what happened last December, it's a question worth investigating.
It's been just over a year since the Toronto Argonauts swung a deal with the Edmonton Eskimos for Ricky Ray, the franchise quarterback that would lead the Boatmen to the promised land in his first year wearing double-blue.
During the same off-season, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats obtained Henry Burris in a trade with the Calgary Stampeders and all he did was put up several franchise records and bring the Tabbies offence to life.
When it came to elite quarterbacks residing in the East, Anthony Calvillo finally had some company.
As many had expected, Calvillo opted against retirement last week and is returning for a 20th CFL season and 16th with the Montreal Alouettes.
That news had most Alouettes supporters jumping for joy, but leaves a significant question left to be answered.

Bone-shaking tackles, ankle-turning stumbles and sometimes even a few loose teeth - there are all kinds of mishaps waiting to happen on the football field or the soccer field.

Or the basketball court. Or the track.
The nature of sports often leads to injuries, and school districts require students to offer proof of insurance along with the results of a physical before they're allowed to play.
But there's a loophole in the procedure, and it's a problem coaches and athletic directors say isn't easy or even practical to fix - how to track if a student loses his or her insurance coverage during the course of a season.
"It could be anything - from a parent outright lying and saying a student has coverage to mom or dad being laid off, or the company going belly-up," said Jon Ward, athletic director at Clarke Central High School. "It is a concern; it's something that you're conscious of, and it's something that we're really trying to stress to parents that the information needs to be accurate."
The concern about students who lose their insurance coverage during the course of the season came up at a meeting of the Clarke County Board of Education's policy committee over the summer.
But coaches almost uniformly admit there's no procedure in place to monitor such changes, and the time and record-keeping required would be prohibitive, when coaches already are running practices, teaching classes and dealing with other responsibilities.
That kind of bureaucratic venture would almost require creating a database of the type used by police officers to check motor vehicle insurance during traffic stops, Ward said.
Like Ward, many coaches and athletic directors stressed that parents need to keep them updated on insurance status to avoid problems. Although most schools don't provide individual insurance coverage, many do work with insurance companies to provide access to policies for families who have students or student athletes. At Clarke Central two years ago, booster clubs were able to provide premiums for three athletes who didn't qualify for Medicaid coverage but couldn't afford their own policies, Ward said - a football player and two soccer players.
"I know in my case, if a mother or a father came to me and let me know there was a problem, I would do my very best to help," said Keith Smith, assistant principal and athletic director at Oconee County High School. "But the bottom line is, I do not want any student athlete stepping onto any field, any court, any track - anywhere - without an insurance policy.
"You just hope and pray that something like that doesn't happen," he added.
It's more than a theoretical scenario for Randall Owens, head football coach and athletic director at Madison County High School.
Owens was working in different school district when a player there was injured on a weight machine, breaking his jaw and knocking out a tooth.
After taking the boy to the dentist and an oral surgeon, that school district discovered that the player's mother, who provided his insurance coverage, had changed jobs without getting temporary insurance until her new benefits kicked in, Owens said.
Her attempt to sue the district, despite the complimentary and discounted services provided by the medical staff involved, still gets Owens up on his "soapbox," he said.
"At some point, we need to hold parents responsible. They have to take partnership in this thing," he said. "And I'm saying this as a parent. A parent needs to say 'If we don't have coverage at some point, I ought to tell them that.' "

The offerings in 7mm include 120gr, 130gr, 140gr, 145gr, 150gr, 160gr, and 175gr in various types, including spitzer sp, spitzer btsp, a 140gr trophy bonded bear claw, 160gr trophy bonded bear claw.
What's missing from the list of pure bullet weights is the fact that most factory 7mm-08 firearms have a twist rate that won't stabilize bullets heavier than 150gr and/or shorter chambers that require heavier bullets to be seated so deep that performance is sacrificed. Most bullets lighter than 120gr are meant for smaller animals or varmints. What you end up with, in 7mm-08, is one or two basic choices in factory ammo bullet weights. With the vast majority being 139/140gr.
For the handloader, there are more choices, such as Barnes excellent TSX line with bullets as light as 110gr for deer and a number of other choices that are appropriate that are just not loaded in factory ammo.
The 6mm/.243 bullets are the same. For the handloader, bullets down to at least 80gr (again, in the Barnes line and others) are perfectly suited for deer. While the heaviest weights (over 105gr) will not stabilize in many guns.
Also, "perfect shot" requirements are a myth. The 243 is ENTIRELY adequate for elk, with a proper bullet choice, and is used as such regularly. It's certainly fantastic for Mule Deer and anything smaller than elk.
A heavier, slower bullet that is .041" wider is not going to turn a bad shot into a good one. Good shots are good shots, bad shots are bad. The difference between a 375H&H Magnum and a .243Win will almost never turn a bad shot into a good one. Those 1%ers? Sure, but should we base are cartridge choices on that, particularly when we consider that flinching from increased recoil and bad shooting from lack of practice with higher recoil guns has caused more bad shots and lost animals than any increase in power has ever saved?
I'm not knocking the 7-08, I have one and have sung it's praises for quite some time. I'm just saying, trying to differentiate from that list of cartridges based on one being a better killer over the other is silly.
Still happily answering to the call-sign Peetza.
The problem, as you so eloquently put it, is choice.
