Recipe by Manx
"Savory oriental pork roast recipe for the barbecue. Use this Chinese spiced pork alone, in stir-fries, or in soup. Serve sliced with veggie fried rice, Asian coleslaw, and grilled pineapple. This pork is tasty sliced and stir-fried with snow peas and onion. It's supreme in pho and excellent sliced into wonton or udon noodle soup. Best summer adaptation: in buckwheat or soba noodles for a cold oriental-flavored salad."

2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 whole star anise pod, crushed
1 pinch Chinese five-spice powder
1 tablespoon aji mirin (sweet rice cooking wine), or more to taste
1 (1 pound) boneless pork loin roast
I've marinated it for two days, it tastes nice, but nothing like Char Siu - the easiest correction Icould think of would be, add much more honey into the marinade.
Didn't have anise or aji mirin, or dark soy sauce. I substituted white rice wine and normal soy sauce instead. I doubled the sauce so that the pork was completely covered in a tub and marinated for 2 days. Hubby loved it!

Not even close...
I quadrupled the marinade to do a couple of pounds of pork tenderloin. Next time I will let it marinate for 2 days, but after one day it was very good. Thanks for sharing!

Ways How To Burn Fat and Lose Weight
Losing weight encompasses so much more than just improving your physique and appearance. Weight loss will give you increased energy and greatly improve your quality of life. This article aims to give you some working tips to help you lose weight and keep it off in a healthy manner.
Weight loss always begins in the mind… In order to lose weight quickly you must have knowledge on what works and what doesn't, and a solid plan to follow. This will help increase your willpower and keep you motivated to stick to your goals even when you're having a tough time.
In order to lose weight effectively and permanently, it is important that you do not miss meals. Skipping meals seems like the ideal solution to lose weight, but in fact it will have the opposite effect as your body will think food is in short supply and go into storage mode. When this happens all extra calories and energy are stored as fat. Try to eat at least three meals a day, or if you don't feel hungry opt for four or five small snacks at regular intervals.
Sleep is very important for successful weight loss… You should aim for around eight hours every night. Sleeping less can cause weight gain, as well as leading to other conditions such as depression. If you are not sleeping well, try to relax for a few hours before you go to bed with some calming music and a good book.

Recipe by Joanna
"Pureed mango teams with orange and lime juices to make a refreshing beverage."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 mango - peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
2 ice cubes
1 1/4 cups club soda
Very good and refreshing! I used seltzer water instead of club soda because I already had some. Next time I will use a little less lime and a lot more ice. Thanks!
I made this exactly as written, except I added a few more pieces of ice. The lime was very overpowering. It tasted like a really sour orange juice drink with really no mango flavor, or any enjoyable flavor at all. None of us liked it at all.
8 Ratings
I liked this as a great base. I used fresh mango and 1/4c mango juice because I only had about 1/2C of orange juice. I did cut the lime by half but I crushed the lime and sugar together at the bottom of the glass sort of like a mojito but used lime instead of mint. Instead of club soda I used diet ginger ale. I also added a little Brazilian rum and 1/2 oz of simple sugar. It was a big hit! Thanks for the base recipe.
great idea for a hot day. As I had no orange juice in the fridge I used: one mango, a lot of ice, juice from half a lemon and lemon flavored water. I love the combination of lemon & mango!
Very limey. My mango tastes a little odd, but I guess that's bc I bought some jarred mango in syrup--what you buy in the refrigerated produce section--and have never had it before. fresh mango is definitely better. But it worked to try it. I agree with Sunny--the lime is very strong, so I'd cut that down. I actually didn't use any ice bc I only have my food processor and I've been told not to use ice in it. I suppose I'll have to get a blender one of these days and try it again. It was good even without the ice. thanks for the recipe!
Nice and fresh beverage. The lime is a bit strong, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut it down some (perhaps by using a bit more orange juice in its place). Definitely one to repeat for sunny and cloudy days alike. :o)
I'm sorry I just don't think this is a good recipe. Imho, mango cannot be distinctive when put up against the strong flavor of orange. To me, this tastes almost like plain orange juice, if you were to buy a brand that has added sugar (like Donald Duck brand, which I used to love as a kid lol). I did reduce the lime by half, so the lime was not overpowering. However, the mango flavor still didn't come through. I tasted my mango before I pureed, so I know I had a good one with flavor! This recipe is too much effort for what amounts to sweetened orange juice. I have one mango left; gonna try a smoothie instead. After I tasted the finished recipe I added more ice, thinking that would help. It didn't, but I decided to freeze the whole thing so I'll have a kind of granita or gelato or whatever it's called. Not a total waste, but I definitely won't make it again.

Sometimes things move pretty quickly around here ŌĆō almost too quickly to catch up and fully appreciate what has transpired. One day weŌĆÖre ushering in the winter sports season while the high school Super Bowls have yet to be contested. The non-stop nature extends to all seasons and sports, and we here at Blackstone Valley Sports have no choice but to hop aboard the next train or run the risk of being left behind.
PAWTUCKETŌĆöCasting a Grinch-like mood over City Hall, Fitch Ratings announced Wednesday that is has downgraded Pawtucket's general obligation bonds by two notches and has removed the city's rating from a ŌĆ£watchŌĆØ status to a ŌĆ£negative rating outlook.ŌĆØ The downgrade to ŌĆ£BBB-ŌĆØ from ŌĆ£BBB+ŌĆØ affects three categories of general obligation bonds: $6.38 million, series 2001; $3.46 million refunding bonds, series 2002B; and $11.05 million, series 2005. The new bond rate is just one notch away from ŌĆ£junk bond status.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö ŌĆ£Santa to the StarsŌĆØ Brady White is now a screen star in his own right with a new music video that is appearing on YouTube. Called ŌĆ£Santa's Wrap,ŌĆØ the video features the Pawtucket resident performing a rap-style song that he wrote himself. Since it made its debut earlier this month, ŌĆ£Santa's WrapŌĆØ has garnered over 31,000 hits on the Internet video site. The easiest way to access the video is by looking up ŌĆ£Santa's WrapŌĆØ on Google or by visiting YouTube and searching ŌĆ£Santa's Wrap.ŌĆØ
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō ŌĆ£Of course, we had a Christmas party every year at the Boys Club,ŌĆØ Mike Pappas was saying earlier this week. ŌĆ£There would be presents for all the kids. And we made sure to hand out a Christmas basket to a needy family. That was important to us.ŌĆØ The Christmas Party tradition still exists at the Pawtucket Boys & Girls Club, an organization Pappas first became aware of as a Depression-era youngster living up the street in a three-story tenement. As an adult, Pappas would spend 41 years working at the club, the last 26 as its Executive Director.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Tiverton put the brakes on Shea HighŌĆÖs offense during a 72-53 romp over the Raiders on Thursday night. Shea, coming off a 94-92 up-tempo win over North Providence on Monday, contributed to its own demise with a variety of missed layups and close-in shots that prevented the Raiders from turning to their pressing defense following a made basket. ŌĆ£If we had made our layups, we could have used the press,ŌĆØ Shea coach Matt Pita said after the game. ŌĆ£But we shot poorly all night. The bottom line is we have to rebound the ball and make our layups and we did neither tonight.ŌĆØ

JOHNSTON ŌĆö You know things are looking up when the opposing coach pulls his starters ŌĆō with 1:25 left in the first half! Yes, Johnston head coach Dan Mazzulla did reinsert his starting group for the second half. By that point, though, it didnŌĆÖt matter. Tolman was still up big and still playing tenacious defense, the latter the major reason why the Tigers handed the Panthers their first league loss on Tuesday night, 45-33.

EAST PROVIDENCE ŌĆö The top selling Christmas gift for basketball coaches is a point guard who can handle the ball, run an offense, get his teammates good shots and make a few key baskets when the game is on the line. Santa passes these things out every five or 10 years. They donŌĆÖt grow on trees. St. Raphael Academy coach Tom Sorrentine got such a gift last Christmas in freshman Charles Correa, a Pawtucket product who has developed into an emerging sophomore with the potential to open some eyes around the state before he graduates in two years.

I Like the weight of the drill the power seems pretty good. I have used it quite a few times and the motor seems pretty pretty consistant. Like any tool, only time is going tell about durability. At this point the chuck is working for me and gets my jobs done.

This drill is terrible. The chuckless option does not work. The drill will not hold the bit due to the vibration and it just wobbles it's way out. I would not recommend this item at all.

Battery dead or low on charge. This Drill performs in the pinch. The handle is located in a convenient spot and can stay installed even if you don't need it, without getting in the way. The keyless chuck is not overbearing and tightens on the bit without ripping apart your hand. Pro and Con that the chuck will release the bit if it gets stuck. But Tighten it up, put the drill in reverse the drill bit will back out of the hole. Check your convenient levels and redrill the hole. Overall a simple and always ready drill. This is a neccesity if you have ever found yourself near the end of a job without charged drill. Well priced with the power to finish the job.

This is my second Craftsman drill--first one still works, was purchased in 1986 and getting a little cranky(needs new motor brushes). Found a new one to be cost effective. Really pleased with the purchase, corded, no batteries to charge or wear out. Like the alloy gear case and built-in levels. First time with a keyless chuck, not an issue. Hard case a bonus for travel. Could have spent a lot more but feel like this is a great tool for my application(household use). In it's first few uses have found nothing negative to report. Sears is a great place to shop!

There was an emotional scene on a football field Friday night when Taylor Stuart was introduced as a member of the Southwest Georgia Academy homecoming court.
Taylor suffered two broken vertebrae in a crash near her home in Seminole County August 21st. She came home from the Shepherd Spinal Center in Atlanta just for homecoming.
She's got one more week of therapy in the day program there before she's home for good. Her family says folks at SGA and even some rival schools have been extremely supportive.
There is a fund set up in Taylor's name at First State Bank if you'd like to donate to help with medical bills.

Take a seat around the campfire and share your individual story, videos and pictures from your survival during 2007 and the breakdown afterwards. *No Roleplaying*
Members: 47
Latest Activity: Apr 20, 2013
This group is designed to collect stories from individuals during the 2007 unrest and following breakdown around the World. We want your own personal realistic accounts no matter how gritty or candid. Feel free to create a discussion below for your own story and document your survival within that thread.
This is not a roleplaying group, roleplaying is available on the separate site END OF DAYS specifically put aside for that purpose. Roleplaying within the group will be subject to removal.
If you're not sure where to start, base your story within the Lost Zombies Timeline it's pretty crucial if you want your work to be used in any of the Lost Zombie projects such as the Scrapbook, Short Story book and of course the final film.
Try to be realistic, the best stories don't normally involve Rambo style shootouts or hero Hollywood style moments. Try to show how you personally would overcome problems and write/film as if you are actually living the life, not just writing a novel from a comfy chair in 2011.
Also no links please. Embed your videos and pics in your thread and if you already have a pre-written story, while new ones are preferred so we are not just rehashing old material in a new place, paste the text into your thread to create a running theme throughout your story thread.
If you want to be really awesome, record your story with a video camera. Just you talking into the camera, no music no effects just you telling your story. This type of footage will be invaluable to the final film.
If you have any questions feel free to message me anytime.

I think my story is kinda gonna be unbelievable....
it was around 4 years ago me and my sister were planning to sneak out and go to a concert .. but sadly didn't have the chance to because it got late, it goes on that we were waiting for our friend in our neighborhood ally that night, as we were waiting we got comfortable on a old broken bench under a tree .. don't even ask me how it got there !! anyhow we were seated at the end of that ally and i noticed at the start of the ally there was a moving branch at least i thought it was a branch ... i wasn't wearing my glasses so yeah i can't see objects that far .. we go on talking for half an hour or so when suddenly my sister was like are u seeing what I'm seeing? i was like yeah a moving branch -,- ... shes like no that's not a branch !!! at that moment i realized there was no wind causing the branch to movie .... both of us went quiet for exactly 10 minutes just staring at that thing ... it looked like a short man with really long arms scratching his back ... it stopped and then started to look more like a dog and it was staring at us o_o
it stared at us for about 2 minutes and jumped up the tree looking like a monkey .. at that moment we were both speechless and were getting up to actually check what on earth is that ..... T_T as soon as we got up it charged full speed at us and funny thing is we didn't move XD i was the only one screaming !!! as soon as it got close to the tree that is exactly beside us it jumped to the next house !!!! i almost peed my pants from how scared i was !! i was like thank god it was over !!!! but wishes sometimes turn backwards ... it peeked at us from the the house's roof looking like a black cat and ran away ...
believe me that was the most scariest moment in my life and I'm not kidding it really happened ...........

Celebrating Your Small Business Accomplishments
by kmurray, Community Moderator
- Created: February 19, 2014, 7:08 am
Have you celebrated your small business' accomplishments lately? In a few weeks, we'll be tuning in to watch the Oscars – the Academy Awards – an occasion that acknowledges the finest achievements in the film industry in the last year. If you haven't had the chance to step back and celebrate what you've achieved, here are a few ways this popular event can inspire you.
From the movie business to small business…
The Oscars feature categories that award many aspects of films – from the costumes that each filmgoer can easily see to the "behind-the-scenes" work that may not be as apparent to viewers once a film hits theatres. The same can go for your small business.
Think about the parts of your business, for instance, that are readily apparent to customers – like your website or store displays; then there are those elements that are just as crucial to success – like HR or the finance department – that may operate in a "behind-the-scenes" fashion.
And the award goes to…
Here are a few ideas about translating popular award categories to your business.
- Best Supporting Actress/Actor – Acknowledge your team and the roles they've had in helping the business achieve success and reach goals. Maybe there was one project that stands out where someone went above and beyond what was required. Or perhaps another employee took on a task that didn't involve his primary skillset, but he stepped up and got it done. These are great supporting actors to have – and they should be celebrated!
- Best Foreign Language Film – Language is tough – even when you're speaking the same one! Take this award as a chance to make note of achievements when your business faced communication challenges, either internal or with a customer, and overcame them. Misunderstood client made happy? Tension among a project team mediated? Translating those challenges into successes and learning opportunities is a great accomplishment.
- Best Visual Effects – Did your agency deliver some stunning creative pieces to a client? Did your landscaping business create yard art from a formerly dead patch of grass? Think back to what you've made possible over the last year thanks to your and your team's creativity and vision.
- Best Costume Design – Costumes are extensions of characters, conveying who they are with a unique look and feel, accessories, etc. Similarly, your storefront or website does the same for your business – a visual representation of what your business is. Have you had a favorite window display over the year that attracted a lot of customers? Did you redesign your website or freshen it up? Here's your chance to really make note.
- Best Picture – Ah! The coveted Best Picture Award ultimately celebrates how well everyone collaborated – from directors, producers, writers, actors – to produce the best possible product. Take a look at the big picture of your business. How well do you think you fared? How well did your team come together to deliver and succeed? Did you connect with your target audience as you hoped? It's a great opportunity to reflect on a job well done, so congratulations!
"I'd like to thank the Academy…"
Well, you probably don't – but thank the people who've made your business successes possible by celebrating some of these achievements and acknowledgements with them. Maybe you can make an evening out of it, which could also be a great team-building occasion. If not, a spirited email or presentation over morning coffee can help you get your message across and jazz people up. After all, you're celebrating not only a great year that's just gone by – but a bright future built on a solid foundation of success.

You can prevent heart disease by following a heart-healthy lifestyle. Here are five strategies to help you protect your heart.
Heart disease may be the leading cause of death for both men and women, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it as your fate. Although you lack the power to change some risk factors — such as family history or age — there are some key heart disease prevention steps you can take.
Take steps to avoid heart disease — don't smoke, get regular exercise and eat healthy foods. Avoid heart problems in the future by adopting a healthy lifestyle today. Here are five heart disease prevention tips to get you started.
1. Don't smoke or use tobacco products
Smoking or using other tobacco products is one of the most significant risk factors for developing heart disease. When it comes to heart disease prevention, no amount of smoking is safe. Smokeless tobacco and low-tar and low-nicotine cigarettes also are risky, as is exposure to secondhand smoke.
Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,800 chemicals. Many of these can damage your heart and blood vessels, making them more vulnerable to narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis can ultimately lead to a heart attack.
In addition, the nicotine in cigarette smoke makes your heart work harder by narrowing your blood vessels and increasing your heart rate and blood pressure. Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke replaces some of the oxygen in your blood. This increases your blood pressure by forcing your heart to work harder to supply enough oxygen. Even so-called "social smoking" — only smoking while at a bar or restaurant with friends — is dangerous and increases the risk of heart disease.
Women who smoke and take birth control pills are at greater risk of having a heart attack or stroke than are those who don't do either. Worse, this risk increases with age, especially over 35.
The good news, though, is that when you quit smoking, your risk of heart disease drops dramatically within just one year. And no matter how long or how much you smoked, you'll start reaping rewards as soon as you quit.
2. Get active
Regularly participating in moderately vigorous physical activity can reduce your risk of fatal heart disease. And when you combine physical activity with other lifestyle measures, such as maintaining a healthy weight, the payoff is even greater.
Physical activity helps you control your weight and can reduce your chances of developing other conditions that may put a strain on your heart, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also reduces stress, which may also be a factor in heart disease.
Guidelines recommend that you get at least 30 to 60 minutes of moderately intense physical activity most days of the week. However, even shorter amounts of exercise offer heart benefits, so if you can't meet those guidelines, don't give up. You can even break up your workout time into 10-minute sessions and still get the same benefits.
And remember that things like gardening, housekeeping, taking the stairs and walking the dog all count toward your total. You don't have to exercise strenuously to achieve benefits, but you can see bigger benefits by increasing the intensity, duration and frequency of your workouts.
3. Eat a heart-healthy diet
Eating a special diet called the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan also can help protect your heart. Following the DASH diet means eating foods that are low in fat, cholesterol and salt. The diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy products that can help protect your heart. Legumes, low-fat sources of protein and certain types of fish also can reduce your risk of heart disease.
Limiting certain fats you eat also is important. Of the types of fat — saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and trans fat — saturated fat and trans fat increase the risk of coronary artery disease by raising blood cholesterol levels. Major sources of saturated fat include beef, butter, cheese, milk, and coconut and palm oils. There's growing evidence that trans fat may be worse than saturated fat because unlike saturated fat, it both raises your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol, and lowers your high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good," cholesterol. Sources of trans fat include some deep-fried fast foods, bakery products, packaged snack foods, margarines and crackers. Look at the label for the term "partially hydrogenated" to avoid trans fat.
Heart-healthy eating isn't all about cutting back, though. Most people, for instance, need to add more fruits and vegetables to their diet — with a goal of five to 10 servings a day. Eating that many fruits and vegetables can not only help prevent heart disease but also may help prevent cancer.
Omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat, may decrease your risk of heart attack, protect against irregular heartbeats and lower blood pressure. Some fish are a good natural source of omega-3s. However, pregnant women and women of childbearing age should avoid shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tilefish because they contain levels of mercury high enough to pose a danger to a developing fetus. But for most others, the health benefits of fish outweigh any risks associated with mercury. Omega-3s are present in smaller amounts in flaxseed oil, walnut oil, soybean oil and canola oil, and they can also be found in supplements.
Following a heart-healthy diet also means drinking alcohol only in moderation — no more than two drinks a day for men, one a day for women. At that moderate level, alcohol can have a protective effect on your heart. Above that, it becomes a health hazard.
4. Maintain a healthy weight
As you put on weight in adulthood, your weight gain is mostly fat rather than muscle. This excess weight can lead to conditions that increase your chances of heart disease — high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
One way to see if your weight is healthy is to calculate your body mass index (BMI), which considers your height and weight in determining whether you have a healthy or unhealthy percentage of body fat.
BMI numbers 25 and higher are associated with higher blood fats, higher blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.
The BMI is a good but imperfect guide. Muscle weighs more than fat, for instance, and women and men who are very muscular and physically fit can have high BMIs without added health risks. Because of that, waist circumference is also a useful tool to measure how much abdominal fat you have. In general, men are considered overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 40 inches (101.6 centimeters, or cm). And women, in general, are overweight if their waist measurement is greater than 35 inches (88.9 cm).
Even small reductions in weight can be beneficial. Reducing your weight by just 10 percent can decrease your blood pressure, lower your blood cholesterol level and reduce your risk of diabetes.
5. Get regular health screenings
High blood pressure and high cholesterol can damage your heart and blood vessels. But without testing for them, you probably won't know whether you have these conditions. Regular screening can tell you what your numbers are and whether you need to take action.
Prevention pays
Heart disease is often avoidable. Following a heart-healthy lifestyle doesn't have to be complicated. Find ways to include heart-healthy habits into your lifestyle — and you may well enjoy a healthier life for years to come.

Fat Elephant Coloring Pages
This elephant's belly is dragging the ground. Some would say he is overweight. There are many plump animals in the animal coloring pages. Fat elephant coloring pages is not a good description because elephants are simply large creatures. Using free printable coloring pages and this description, we can demonstrate that some words are hurtful to others. Labels such as fat elephant coloring pages or fat people can make them sad. Teaching a lesson of acceptance is important as well as learning about the animals.
We hope you enjoy coloring your page that you have selected! Remember to check out more of our Wolf Coloring Pages and share them with your friends. If you are a parent or a teacher, print as many as you'd like and use them for extra practice and fun activities!

Your twins' organ systems are fully developed and in place, although their lungs will be last to reach maturity.
The average singleton baby is about 51cm (20in) long from head to toe and weighs approximately 3.4kg (7.5 lb) at birth. However, anything between 2.5kg (5.5lb) and 3.8kg (8.4lb) is a healthy weight for newborns. Twins tend to be lighter than singleton babies. This is because they grow more slowly during the last month of pregnancy. Around half of twins are born by the end of 36 weeks, which is considered to be normal for twins.
One of your twins will gradually move into your pelvic cavity, which is protected by your pelvic bones. This will clear some much-needed space in the upper part of your uterus for your babies' growing legs and buttocks.
Most of the downy coat of hair (lanugo) that covered your twins from 26 weeks has disappeared. Most of the greasy whitish substance that covers their skin (vernix caseosa) has also been shed. Your twins will swallow their lanugo and vernix caseosa, along with other secretions, and store them in their bowels. They will become your baby's first poo, which is a blackish substance (meconium).
Your babies' amniotic fluid, once clear, is now pale and milky. The outer layers of their skin are also sloughing off as new skin forms underneath.
Light, usually painless contractions (Braxton Hicks) may start during the last two months of a singleton pregnancy, but can start much earlier if you are expecting twins. The pressure of a double pregnancy opens the neck of the uterus (cervix) much earlier, preparing you for labour and birth.
Find out what to expect from the early weeks with your babies.

Rider University is a private, coeducational and nonsectarian university located chiefly in the Lawrenceville section of Lawrence Township in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. It consists of five academic units: the College of Business Administration, the College of Liberal Arts, Education and Sciences, the College of Continuing Studies, and the Westminster College of the Arts. In addition to regional accreditation, the undergraduate and graduate programs in business are accredited by AACSB, and the professional education graduate programs are accredited by NCATE. With an acceptance rate of 72%, Rider University is considered selective and is ranked #18 in the Regional Universities North category by U.S. News & World Report.[7] Rider University is also listed in the Princeton Review The Best 376 Colleges 2014 edition, where it is also ranked #18 Least Happy Students.[8] There are 5,982 undergraduate and graduate students attending.[9]
At the conclusion of the Civil War, Henry B. Bryant and Henry D. Stratton, operators of a chain of business schools decided to open a school in New Jersey. On October 1, 1865, The Trenton Business College was established in Trenton, New Jersey, located in Temperance Hall at the corner of South Broad and Front Streets. Andrew Jackson Rider became its first president.[10] President Rider was also known as a leading force in the cranberry industry, as he owned 500 acres of cranberry bogs near Hammonton, New Jersey. (One of the school colors is cranberry, incidentally.)
President Rider steered the business school through a period of growth, and the school continued to move to larger quarters. In 1896 women were admitted to the school. In 1897, the school was renamed The Rider Business College. President Rider stepped down the following year. In 1957 Rider introduced liberal studies leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree.[10] The institution officially became known as Rider College upon its move to East State Street in Trenton in 1921, and the following year the New Jersey Board of Education granted Rider College permission to confer the degrees of Bachelor of Accounts and Bachelor of Commercial Science. Gradually growing in size and scope through the first half of the 20th century, Rider began its move to a more spacious, suburban campus in 1959, when the first offices and classes moved to a 280-acre tract of land on Route 206 in Lawrence Township, N.J. in the minutes of the Board of Trustees' meeting from November 15, 1961. President Franklin F. Moore '27 made it known that night to the Board that Rider College would be reorganized to include five separate schools, each with a dean who would report to the provost, beginning with the 1962-63 academic year. Among these five schools would be an entirely new academic unit: the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences.[11]
Rider College affiliated with nearby Westminster Choir College located in Princeton, New Jersey in 1991 and merged with it in 1992. In 1994 Rider College became Rider University when it officially received university status on April 13, 1994.[12] In 2007 President Rozanski announced the creation of the School of Fine and Performing Arts to integrate the Lawrenceville and Princeton campuses and expand programming for the arts.[13] Today, Rider's Lawrenceville campus is home to its College of Business Administration; College of Liberal Arts, Education, and Sciences; College of Continuing Studies, School of Education, and part of the Westminster College of the Arts, which is also located on the Princeton campus. In recent years President Rozanski announced new academic programs and new financial aid resources that will help students be able to afford to attend Rider.[14]
Rider has invested more than $125 million since 2004 for construction of new buildings and renovations of older facilities, including academic buildings, residence halls, and dining facilities.[15] In 2005 Rider completed its 63,000-square-foot (5,900 m2) Student Recreation Center (SRC), a 186-bed residence hall, and three-story additions to Ziegler and Hill Residence Halls. The SRC contains locker rooms, a 3,600-square-foot (330 m2) fitness room with cardiovascular and strength training equipment, two group-exercise studios, three multi-purpose courts, a 3-lane elevated track, and a game room.[16] In 2009, construction was completed on an environmentally-friendly 150-bed residence hall on the Lawrenceville campus. In 2011, the University built a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver certified, 21,250-square-foot (1,974 m2) academic building next to Moore Library and an 11,000-square-foot (1,000 m2) expansion of the Bart Luedeke Center Theater. The expansion includes dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, a black box theater, and a dance studio.[3][17][18] Fundraising continues toward the completion of other projects including a new performance complex on the Princeton campus, set to break ground in July 2013.[14] That building will be named Marion Buckelew Cullen Center after the philanthropist who has contributed a planned gift to Westminster and to the overall project. The performance space will be named the Hillman Performing Arts Center in honor of Westminster alumna and philanthropist Elsie Hillman.[19] Fundraising and planning are also underway for a new athletics arena.[20]
The 280-acre (1.1 km2) Lawrenceville campus is in a suburban area three miles (5 km) north of Trenton and five miles (8 km) south of Princeton. Facilities are clustered and within easy walking distance of one another on the large park-like campus.
The Westminster campus is in Princeton, New Jersey.
Academic programsEdit
Traditional liberal arts programs of study are offered on the Lawrenceville campus, as well as undergraduate business and education studies. The Westminster campus offers music-based curricula.

The Department of Graduate Education and Human Services offers five master of arts degrees and 25 certification programs. MA degrees are offered in Counseling Services; Curriculum, Instruction, and Supervision; Educational Administration; Reading and Language Arts; and Human Services Administration. Among the many certification programs is a Graduate-Level Teacher Certification program. In addition, two educational specialist degrees are offered: an Ed.S. degree in Counseling Services and an Ed.S. degree in School Psychology.

- 4,100 full-time undergraduates representing 41 states and 72 countries

Academic buildingsEdit
Memorial Hall, the Science and Technology Center, the Fine Arts Center, Joseph P. Vonna Academic Annex, the Stephen A. Maurer Physical Education Building, Anne Brossman Sweigart Hall (Business Administration), North Hall (History & Philosophy) contain the classrooms and laboratories for all curricula. A general access lab containing terminals, microcomputers, and laser printers is located in the Fine Arts Center; other computer labs are located in Anne Brossman Sweigart Hall, Memorial Hall, and at Westminster Choir College. Central VAX systems provide electronic mail, conferencing, and Internet access tools.
The Franklin Moore Library supports the academic programs with a collection of more than 481,000 volumes, 2,000 periodical titles, 650,000 microforms, 134 online databases, electronic access to 42,000 journals, and an audiovisual collection. Materials are cataloged in Library of Congress classification and are accessible through an online catalog, part of the library's automated catalog/circulation/acquisitions system. Online database searching is available to complement the library's on-campus holdings. Westminster Choir College's Talbott Library has specialized music resources including 75,000 books, music scores and periodicals, a choral music reference collection of more than 80,000 titles and more than 31,000 sound and video recordings
Publications and mediaEdit
- The Shadow Yearbook
- first published in 1923 two years after the institution officially changed its name to Rider College. The yearbook continues to be published each year by a student staff. The staff writes all the articles, designs the pages, comes up with its theme and takes many of the pictures. The 2010 yearbook marked its 87th volume. The book is primarily made for senior students, but can be purchased by any Rider student. Seniors that sit for a portrait receive a yearbook free of charge. The book typically is shipped to students in November. As of 2010, Herff Jones publishes the book for Rider.
- The Rider News
- the school's student newspaper, founded in 1930. It is published weekly between September and May, during the academic term.
- WRRC-FM 107.7 The Bronc[21]
- Venture
- literary magazine which welcomes submissions of students' art and literature focusing on any topic
- The Rider University Network (R.U.N.)
- student organization that produces television programs in the Department of Communication and Journalism's Television Studio. Programs are regularly broadcast on the campus network and are available everywhere online.[22]
Student lifeEdit
Currently on Rider's Lawrenceville Campus, there are twelve social Greek organizations which are members of the Interfraternity Council, the Panhellenic Council or the Intercultural Greek Council. There are four fraternities, and eight sororities. In addition to these social Greek organizations, there are numerous professional and honorary fraternities. About 10% of the Rider community is involved in fraternity and sorority life.[23]
- Alpha Xi Delta
- Phi Sigma Sigma
- Zeta Tau Alpha
- Delta Phi Epsilon
- Delta Sigma Theta
- Lambda Tau Omega
- Lambda Theta Alpha
- Zeta Phi Beta
- Sigma Alpha Iota
In the Spring, the Greeks hold "Greek Week". During Greek Week, the Fraternities and Sororities compete in a variety of events which change from year to year; however, every year there is a philanthropy event. Past events have benefited St. Jude's Juvenile Cancer Center, as well as paralysis research, neurological disorder research, and various other causes.
On March 30, 2007 18 year old student Gary DeVercelly died of alcohol poisoning after a night of heavy drinking at a Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house.[24] The incident was tied to a longstanding, hazing tradition involving the use of dangerous quantities of alcohol as part of a big brother - little brother ritual.[25] The Two Rider University officials, including the dean of students, and three students were indicted for aggravated hazing;[26] the charges were dismissed for lack of evidence.[27] Settlement of the civil lawsuit resulted in major policy concessions by the University and the incident had a deep impact on Greek Life on campus.
Professional, Service, and Honorary FraternitiesEdit
Athletic teams are nicknamed the Broncs. The school competes in the Division I Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. As the MAAC is a non-wrestling conference, Rider's wrestling team competes as a member of the Eastern Wrestling League.
The intercollegiate sports program at Rider was started by coach Clair Bee in the 1920s. Two of the school's most famous athletic alumni are former Notre Dame basketball coach and current ESPN sportscaster Digger Phelps, who played basketball at Rider from 1959 to 1963 and Jason Thompson who played basketball at Rider from 2004 to 2008 and was drafted by the Sacramento Kings with the 12th pick of the 2008 NBA Draft while never winning a MAAC championship or appearing in the NCAA Tournament.
The university competed in football until 1951, when the football team was disbanded. A common myth is that the NCAA asked the school to discontinue the football program after an investigation into allegations of paying recruits, as well as improper benefits for players on the team. However, according to the University, Rider chose to stop sponsoring a football team for financial reasons.[28] Rider students often proclaim their football team "undefeated since 1951".
The University has recently redesigned the sports logo.[29]
The current president—Dr. Mordechai Rozanski—became Rider's sixth president on August 1, 2003, following the retirement of then-president J. Barton Luedeke.
Rider has had six presidents:
- Andrew Jackson Rider (1866–1898)
- Franklin Benjamin Moore (1898–1934)
- Franklin Frazee Moore (1934–1969)
- Frank N. Elliott (1969–1990)
- J. Barton Luedeke (1990–2003)
- Mordechai Rozanski (2003— )
