“First off, one of these guys, Brad ‘Mr. Tony’s doppelganger’ Childress, was the most recent coach for Minnesota. Secondly, I'm not shocked that they'd be talking about Tebow’s style of play like this. They’ve talked about how Tebow needs to adjust his style of play, especially transitioning from a primarily shotgun QB to the more traditional under-center QB, for the pros since he was still at Florida - which, to the kid’s credit, he’s been working on. He’s also had the timing of his passes heavily questioned, and that’s something else he’s been working on. Tebow has a full year of pro football under his belt now, so it will be interesting to see how he's progressing as a pro QB.”

“This summer, JCCC added more recycling containers around campus, and shifted to ‘single stream’ recycling for most indoor containers. That means that if the material can be recycled – whether it’s plastic, paper or cans -- it can go in the container. No sorting required.The single stream recycling containers can be found inside buildings across campus, and are easily identified by the Saturn-like opening in the top. A circle accommodates cans and bottles; the straight line that extends through the circle allows paper to slip through.
What goes in the container? All types of paper, aluminum and metal cans and nos. 1 through 7 plastic. Cardboard can be recycled, too, but should be flattened and placed next to the bin instead of inside it.‘It’s proven that more people will recycle if it’s easy for them,’ said Michael Rea, JCCC’s recycling coordinator. Eliminating the need to sort materials should increase the volume of material that’s recycled instead of sent to the landfill.
The domed containers for cans and bottles that once dotted indoor hallways have moved outside next to trash cans.In addition to the single-stream recycling opportunities, JCCC students, visitors and employees can recycle a variety of materials at the school. Read more about recycling at JCCC here.”
