I am hosting a New year's eve party and serving roasted porkloin. I would appreciate suggestions where I could find reasonably priced porkloin for 8-10 people. Also, would 5 pounds be enough?
This is my first "adult" hosting so any advice is much appreciated :)

There has been talk about relocating the Police Training Institute to Western Illinois University but it appears those plans have stalled.
The facility would have replaced one in Urbana. The University of Illinois was preparing to close it June 30 because of the operational costs, which it shares with the state.
The U of I questioned the expense of more than $600,000 a year on something that isn't part of the school's academic mission or geared toward students.

Byline: Jim Feehan The Register-GuardI saw Zoe kissing Santa Claus.
There was no mistletoe in sight Sunday, and Zoe was a 4-month-old Welsh Corgi and wire-haired terrier mix. Perched on Santa's lap, Zoe surprised St. Nick with a peck on the nose.
"He just likes men in red suits," said Janelle Douglass of Springfield, whose mother, Debi Douglass, owns the affectionate pooch. The Douglasses were among about 100 pet owners whose animals had a "photo op" with Santa on Sunday at the Greenhill Humane Society.
For $12, visitors and their pets received a sitting with Santa and a digital photo suitable for framing. For an additional $5, they could have the photos posted online.
Proceeds from the two-day fund-raising event, which included a raffle of a pet gift basket, will go toward feeding and caring for Greenhill's animals, said Theresa Iverson, shelter manager.
Attendance more than doubled from last year's event, which drew fewer than 50 people over three weekends, organizers said.
A menagerie of pets, including several dogs, a cat, a guinea pig, two rabbits and a hamster, lined up to be photographed with Santa. But St. Nick drew the line when it came to a pet snake.
Waiting patiently in line was Karen Creighton of Eugene, who brought along Wilbur, a 9-month-old hamster, and Picasso, a border collie and blue heeler mix. She decided not to bring her orange tabby, Mr. Daisy, because of his penchant for eating hamsters.
"He's my killer kitty. But I must say the dog is very protective of the hamsters and tries to ward off the cat," Creighton said.
Santa cradled Wilbur in a white-gloved hand while Picasso and Creighton nudged next to Kris Kringle on a small sofa. Two of Santa's helpers used a squeaky toy and a clicker to help them strike a pose.
"I'm going to e-mail the photo to relatives because I'm always talking about my animals," Creighton said.
Eric Potter of Springfield already has plans for his photos of Santa and his two dogs - Buster, a 7-year-old dachshund-Yorkshire terrier mix, and Junior, a 2-year-old Jack Russell-Pekingese mix.
"It will be our Christmas card; after all, they're our kids," he said.
Santa would not divulge if the pets were naughty or nice this year, but he did tell some of his more unusual requests.
"The cats asked for catnip. One dog asked for a cat to chase, but that's not appropriate," Santa said. "And the hamster, he asked for a big bag of carrots."
"Zoe" surprises Santa with a kiss on the nose Sunday at Greenhill Humane Society during a portrait session.

Yeah several of us did. This one is a 4" however but in my research I learned that the 4" barrel in this model, while not rare, seems to be uncommon, especially one with the full underlug.
I will however have to pay it off over a couple of months. I'm actually reconsidering leaving it at 4" now though because I really do like 4" barrels for ease of shooting. I started another thread asking about what to holster it in because it's only 1/16" longer than my 686, and truthfully the N frame doesn't feel gigantic to me at all. I've been playing around with my 686 in a Mika's IWB Holster to see if I could carry a 4"er. I found in that in weak side cross draw carry it's actually tolerable and almost comfortable in that cheap holster. I began to wonder, if I spent that $110 it would cost me to shorten the barrel on some good gunleather(or kydex maybe) instead, could it work?
I think a good holster in lieu of altering the gun itself might work well here. This is really not going to be my main CCW as my lifestyle just doesn't support it. I was looking for something I would like to carry two days of the week and for when I go visit the relations out in the sticks, and the rest of the time it would just be a lot of fun to have.
If it ever became workable for me to go armed in more places more often, I'll invest in something else that's not so off the wall. Plus the barrel on this one is the full underlug design like my 686 has, and in addition to looking good I bet it's easier to shoot. It might not work out as a carry piece but truthfully as a self styled revolver guy I need a decent .44 Magnum anyway.
If nothing else it'd be a great gun if I can ever find some events I'd like to participate in because 4" is the maximum length anyway in most of this stuff. It can be loaded mild or hot, and it's got a few little touches only someone who pays attention to guns could fully appreciate. The forged trigger is something I like just for its cool factor.
I'm a walking contradiction. I hate having so many different calibers to keep up with but I like so many different calibers.

This is a great video of what seems to be a really good kid who has cerebral palsy and got to meet his hero Rob Gronkowski. That, in and of itself, is the usual nice story, but watch what he tells Gronk at 10:58 of the video. "Project S.W.A.G.G." Tawfiq's Story & A Surprise from Rob "GRONK" Gronkowski - YouTube Way to go, Tawfiq! I hope you got through to him!
Huge props to Dan and Rob. They took their time and made a lifelong memory for that kid. Not everyone would give back like that, but they did. Inspiring for sure.
Great Vid, Gronk has the chance to be the greatest player ever at his position and the kid is 1000% right.
In that vein just saw this: Nick Underhill @Nick_Underhill ŌĆ£@ProFootballTalk: Pats TE Rob Gronkowski's back surgery is completed, and it is believed that it went well.ŌĆØ
I know this comment sounds so boring, rehearshed, and cliche---but seeing something like this always makes me instantly forget about all of the stupid things that concern me throughout the day that somehow seem so important. We really should make an attempt at being more grateful for what we have.
good luck with that, Supa....I definitely hear ya' but the throngs of ADHD riddled, wingnut twitterers are too focused on posting the next big lie to be concerned about any poignant public interest story. My first job when I was 17 was working in dietary at the IMH in Cranston....feeding every ward meals twice a day...you know what I found out early?...the ones people call crazy aren't....WE are.
I can honestly say that I'm not 100% sure that I'd be able to make it through the day like this fine young kid is doing. Kudos to him for having brass balls and a heart of steel, because as much as I'd like to pretend I could do it---I'm not just sure.

I think my grandmother is in this photo.
Do you have any additional info about this photo and is it labeled at all? If you can e-mail me a higher resolution copy, I think I can identify everyone in the photo. My theory is that this photo was taken in Mar 1895 at RJ Brush Baxter's funeral (I have a copy of his obit that says all 7 of his living children were present). If this is correct, the baby in the photo is my grandmother Bessie Baxter, aged 2 and a half.

Recent environmental features Employing shame for environmental change (03/03/2015) Anyone who has ever felt the sting of shame, knows its power. Shame has long been used by societal institutions—families, communities, governments, religions—for making individuals tow the line of the majority. But a new book explores another—arguably more positive—side of shame: its potential to challenge rule-breaking and ethically-defunct corporations. Jokowi's environmental commitments in Indonesia (02/26/2015) Last fall Indonesia elected its first president with no ties to the established political order or the military. Joko Widodo's election was widely heralded by reformers who hoped the politician's capable management in his stints as mayor of the town of Solo and metropolis of Jakarta could transform Indonesia's chronically underperforming bureaucracy, potentially ushering in a new era of improved human rights, better environmental stewardship, reduced corruption, and healthier economic growth. Rainforest loss increased in the 2000s, concludes new analysis (02/25/2015) Loss of tropical forests accelerated roughly 60 percent during the 2000s, argues a paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The findings contradict previous research suggesting that deforestation slowed since the 1990s. The study is based on a map of 1990 forest cover developed last year by Do-Hyung Kim and colleagues from the University of Maryland. The map, which includes 34 countries that contain 80 percent of the world's tropical forests, enabled the researchers to establish a consistent baseline for tracking forest cover change across regions and countries over time. Partnering for conservation benefits Tacana people, Bolivian park (02/25/2015) Kneeling in a small clearing amid tropical trees, Baldemar Mazaro skillfully arranges a circle of sticks and a noose of cord in the community of San Miguel de Bala. He hands a branch to a tourist and asks her to prod the sticks as if the branch were the nose of an animal snuffling around, looking for food. $7 million could save lemurs from extinction (02/25/2015) Last year, scientists released an emergency three-year plan that they argued could, quite literally, save the world's lemurs from mass extinction. Costing just $7.6 million, the plan focused on setting up better protections in 30 lemur hotspots. However, there was one sticking point: donating to small programs in one of the world's poorest countries was not exactly user friendly. Locals lead scientists to new population of near-extinct reptile (02/24/2015) By the early Twentieth Century, the world had pretty much given up on the Arakan forest turtle, named after the hills where it was found in 1875 in western Myanmar. Now, this Lazarus reptile —which has been dubbed one of the 25 most threatened turtles on the planet —has more good news: researchers have documented an entirely new population where no one Dams or indigenous land: the battle over the Munduruku frontier (02/20/2015) The Munduruku indigenous tribe have begun to mark out the limits of their land, in an action that could halt the giant São Luiz do Tapajós hydroelectric dam, the apple of the Brazilian government's eye. Although sacred, this land will be flooded if the dam goes ahead. 'We are not leaving,' says the village chief. Exclusive: Funai confirms that land threatened by dam projects belongs to indigenous tribe (02/19/2015) The Brazilian government opposes granting traditional land to the Munduruku people since it would jeopardize seven proposed hydroelectric dams on the Tapajós River. For this reason, a year-old report by Funai that supports the Munduruku claim has not been officially published, but a copy of this report was obtained by the Brazilian publication Publica. How do parks affect the poor? Jury's still out, some experts say (02/13/2015) In Peru's vast northeastern region, where roads are scarce and forests abundant, crackdowns on the illegal plundering of timber, fish, and wildlife are sporadic and expensive. To fill the gap, the Peruvian National Park Service and non-profit conservation organizations encourage community groups to patrol their lakes and forests and control fishing and hunting. 'Sustainable' cacao company allegedly defies government's call to halt plantation development (02/13/2015) A company aiming to be the world's largest producer of sustainable cacao, the bean used to make chocolate, appears to have ignored orders from the Peruvian government to cease operations for failing to provide justification for having razed what scientists say was more than 2,000 hectares of old-growth Amazonian rainforest. U.S. Central Plains and Southwest will likely face apocalyptic drought (02/12/2015) In the recent film Interstellar, a mysterious phenomenon known as "the blight" is wiping out agriculture around the world until only corn—for some reason—survives. Humanity is on the brink of starvation. While the blight may be science fiction, global warming is not, and a new study finds that future warming could decimate the western U.S. over the next century. Innovating Brazil nuts: a business with roots in the rainforest (02/11/2015) Scientist and entrepreneur turn to Brazil nuts to protect Peru's threatened forests. Sofía Rubio was eight years old when she decided she wanted to be a biologist. 'I would skip school to go to the woods with my father or mother,' who did research in what is now the Tambopata National Reserve in the southeastern Peruvian Amazon, she says. Forestry giant's zero deforestation commitment put to test (02/05/2015) An independent audit of the world's largest pulp and paper producer found that the company had achieved a wide range of results in meeting promises to end deforestation and resolve conflicts with forest communities. In 2013 Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) announced its Forest Conservation Policy (FCP), which included a pledge to end deforestation among its suppliers, improve communication and conflict resolution with forest communities, protecting peatlands, and sourcing fiber only from responsible suppliers. Video: innovative tourism helps protect forests in Amazonian Peru (02/05/2015) A new short documentary highlights the innovative, locally-grown tourist ventures sprouting up in the buffer zone around Peru's Tambopata National Reserve. Not only do these tourist adventures--some specializing in rehabilitating wildlife, others in finding out how locals live, and some even in jungle yoga--help provide jobs and income in a region dominated by extractive industries, but they are also help to keep forests standing. Scientists, conservationists call for more inclusive efforts to save forests (02/05/2015) Last month the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco brought together 167 scientists, educators, civil society leaders, artists, and interested members of the public at the Forest Solutions Summit to discuss approaches for bolstering protection and wiser use of global forests. The Amazon's oil boom: concessions cover a Chile-sized bloc of rainforest (02/04/2015) Hungry for oil revenue, governments and fossil fuel companies are moving even further into one of the world's last great wildernesses, according to a new study in the journal Environmental Research Letters. The total area set aside for oil and gas in the Western Amazon has grown by 150,000 square kilometers since 2008, now totaling more than 730,000 square kilometers—an area the size of Chile. Community tourism fills niche around Tambopata National Reserve (01/29/2015) When Víctor Zambrano retired from the military and returned to his family's old homestead outside the fast-growing jungle town of Puerto Maldonado in Peru, he got an unpleasant surprise. Strangers had moved in and cleared the trees to raise cattle. As Zambrano tells it, he ran up the Peruvian flag, chased the invaders off, and set to work planting 19,000 native tree seedlings. Accounting for natural capital on financial exchanges (01/26/2015) Last month, Norway's stock exchange, the Oslo Børs, introduced a way for investors to use their money to promote sustainability. A new list by the stock exchange highlights green bonds, financial products issued by companies to raise capital for environmentally friendly projects. Notably, the list requires that issuing companies obtain and publicize outside opinions on the projects' environmental features. Indigenous territories play dual role as homelands and protected areas (01/22/2015) Indigenous communities claim—and scientific evidence increasingly shows—that indigenous forested territories are as well protected as, or better protected than, government-designated parks. In areas under pressure from roads or development projects, deforestation rates are sometimes even lower in indigenous territories than in official protected areas. Palm oil giant launches online platform to support zero deforestation push (01/22/2015) Wilmar, the world's largest palm oil company, has unveiled a tool it says will help eliminate deforestation from its global supply chain. The tool is an online dashboard that maps the company's supply chain, including the names of locations of its refineries and supplier mills. |

Leafs' Sundin might wear visor when he returns
Updated: October 7, 2005, 5:15 PM ET
Associated Press
TORONTO -- After getting hit in the face by a puck earlier this week, Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin might use a visor when he returns.
"Yeah, I think so, I think I've used all my good breaks," Sundin said Friday, meeting reporters for the first time since getting hit in the left eye seven minutes into Wednesday's season opener.
"I've had some close calls with my eyes before. Definitely when

A classic chalkboard leaning against a wall in this dining room adds to the comfortable charm of the design. The walnut stained frame is perfect here, placed alongside a ledge lined with wood in a similar tone.
I simply adore this image! The pale turquoise cabinetry is happiness, really, and what I love best is the large cork board framed in millwork painted the identical color. Hanging the board at same height as the top of the cabinetry was a choice that makes the message board look like an extension of the cabinetry. What a functional addition to a delightful home office and studio placed at the end of a room. I could go on, the light fixture, the windows...but this Ideabook is about message boards. Shoot.
A large inspiration/message board placed alongside a dining room table not only adds visual interest with its color and pattern, but what a great conversation piece. I can just image joining a dinner party at this table and quizzing the owners about the bits and pieces pinned to the board. Also note the light fixture attached to the board, extending over the table...very cool.
The dark chalkboard lining the wall behind the desk area in this kitchen adds the perfect graphic element, grounding the design. How handy...who doesn't need a place to post reminders? And even better, this list can't be misplaced.
Again, let me get distracted from the theme of this Ideabook. The turquoise table with the nickel industrial pendant hung above simply makes this kitchen!
Again, let me get distracted from the theme of this Ideabook. The turquoise table with the nickel industrial pendant hung above simply makes this kitchen!
Okay, so what do you do if the fireplace doesn't work? Board it up, paint on some chalkboard paint and create a place to write inspiring quotes!
A message board needn't be large to be fabulous. This fabric lined board hung in what I assume is an entry or mudroom is both chic and functional. Hanging the white frame, lined with a white and brown print, against the colored walls looks fresh and pretty.
This family must have a lot to say! The entire space is a great example of the power of a black and white color palette in design, softened just slightly by the pale wood floors. I would enjoy eating a sandwich sitting at this island, while reading through the notes on the wall!
I've seen message boards lined with fabric but never wallpaper, let alone grasscloth! What a fabulous idea. This message board, placed above the desk among a collection of images, fits right in. The wallpaper brings beautiful texture to the vignette that works well with the zebra wood on the chair.
Who knew a mixture of Dr. Seuss, a claw foot tub, an old door and chalkboard paint could add up to such a great little corner in a bathroom. I guess the Cat in the Hat did eat cake in the tub!
A magnetic chalkboard created on the side of the cabinetry is quite the modern solution to life these days. I love the ability to both attach and write things on this magnetic chalkboard. The calendar would most certainly help any family stay organized and on time!
Seeing chalkboard paint line the walls above wainscoting in such a traditional craftsman home is quite surprising, and yet beautiful. Again, what a wonderful spot to dine and discuss the various notes and writings on the wall.
If I could pick one room featured in this Ideabook for my home, this would be it. What an outstanding space for a family with children. This space offers ample storage, plenty of seating and lighting along with a view to the outdoors. But the item that makes the space? One very large message board covering an entire wall. It is a perfect spot to hang artwork, school work, notes, invitations and inspirations!

I saw this video on the AP service and was amazed at the way this lady defended herself against a man who was determined to break into her home and do whatever he had on his mind. It happend in Califorinia where we know the firearms laws are so strict, it is amazing she was even able to own one, let alone use it to thrwart her attacker. This should be a wake up call for California legislators to seriously look at how keeping firearms away from decent citizens will not stop this kind of thing from happening.
Then again, maybe not. Depends on who is in office making laws.

High BP or hypertension is defined as BP that is persistently elevated and >140/90 mmHg in otherwise healthy individuals. The Seventh Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC 7) guideline recommends a BP goal of 140/90 mmHg in the general population, and a goal of 130/80 in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease.Hypertension is long-term health condition that is common among older adults, although it affects people of all age groups. In The World Health Report 2002—Reducing Risks, Promoting Healthy Life, the World Health Organization estimated the worldwide prevalence of high BP to be 1 billion and annual deaths resulting directly from this condition to be 7 million. Despite an improvement in the quality of health care, it is predicted that the prevalence of BP will continue to rise due to the aging of the population.

Gold Prices Turn Negative (Update 1)
"Clearly we know that the PIGS countries are called the pigs for a reason -- that being that there's too much debt on their respective balance sheets and that they've over-levered themselves," said Kevin Mahn, president of Hennion & Walsh Asset Management. "The dark clouds that persist over Europe ... Italy and Spain coming to the forefront again yesterday, and then the looming round two of the fiscal cliff as relates to spending cuts and potential sequestration."
Though sequestration talks haven't heated up in Washington, Republican leaders thump President Barack Obama on Monday for missing a deadline to submit his 2013 budget proposal.
Monday marked the deadline for Obama to submit his budget, but White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters to focus on substance over deadlines.
House Speaker John Boehner used the occasion to take a swipe at the president.
"For the fourth time in five years this White House has proven it does not take trillion-dollar deficits seriously enough to submit a budget on time," Boehner said in a statement. Carney acknowledged that he saw Boehner had made a comment about the missed deadline. "The president has put forward consistently budgets that achieve what the American people overwhelmingly support, which is balanced deficit reduction, deficit reduction combined with investments in areas of our economy that would help the economy grow and create jobs," Carney told reporters on Monday aboard Air Force One. Gold prices haven't reacted to the uncertainty surround the budget and possible cuts, but investors may begin to pay more attention if continued quarrels between the president and the GOP-controlled House push into March when deadlines approach on sequestration and a new budget. Gold mining stocks were mostly lower Tuesday. Shares of Gold Fields (GFI) were losing 1.3%, and shares of Randgold Resources (GOLD - Get Report) were dipping 1.9%. Among mining ETFs, Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) was effectively unchanged, while Market Vectors Junior Gold Minders ETF (GDXJ) was off 0.80%. Gold ETF SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) was slumping 0.05%, while iShares Gold Trust (IAU) was shedding 0.04%. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email.

Yahoo! has just announced that they will be completely shutting down GeoCities later this year. I was a very early user of the service, and there are a couple lessons I've drawn as an observer over the years.
First is the danger of forcing advertising on your users. To me, this was the start of the slow decline, when the early adopters all moved on and started looking for other services.
But second is the incredible staying power of a large user base. While "all the cool kids" moved on by the late nineties, GeoCities still has an Alexa rank of 149 today, even though they've been providing a mostly sub-par experience for quite a while.
It's one of the best examples of how slowly users can evaporate once you've acquired enough of them, or in non-web speak, that people are resistant to change: once they've found a good way to do something, they tend to keep doing it that way for a while.

With Europe Recovering, Look for Unilever and Siemens to Prosper
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Not even a year ago, Carl Weinberg, the founder and chief economist of High Frequency Economics, declared in an interview with Barron's that Europe was in a depression. But, as detailed in a recent article in TheStreet, current manufacturing data show that the continent is recovering. Investors could profit from the rebound via stocks headquartered in Europe, such as Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A), Unilever (UL) and Siemens (SI), among many others.
In particular, the energy sector for Europe is very promising.
The continent is starting to move toward allowing fracking for oil and natural gas. Spain just revised laws to permit fracking. And Britain and Poland already allow fracking. That is bullish for Repsol (PINK:REPPY), the major oil company that is based in Spain. It is also good news for Royal Dutch Shell, the second largest oil and natural gas entity in the world and the biggest in Europe. Small-cap firms such as Octagon 88 (OTC:OCTX), headquartered in Switzerland, will also benefit. Europe is the second largest market for natural gas in the world. The more energy it produces and the less it imports, the more job-creating capital stays at home, and the better its balance-of-payments position becomes.
Companies in the consumer sector will also gain.
Britain's Unilever and Switzerland's Nestle (OTC:NSRGY) are two of the biggest and best consumer corporations to be found. Many of their brands are easily recognizable. Nestle's chocolate speaks for itself. Unilever's many popular products include Dove, Lipton and Vaseline. Unilever even owns the counterculture pride of Vermont, Ben & Jerry's (I guess we all sell out to The Man eventually). Both of these blue chips are not only strong in Europe, but also around the world. Major German exporters such as Siemens, Volkswagen (OTC:VLKAY) and BASF (PINK:BASFY) all benefit from the weak Euro. If Germany were not a member of the Eurozone and had its own monetary unit, its exports would be much more expensive. The motor vehicles from Volkswagen, the chemical products from BASF, and the equipment and technology from Siemens would all cost more if priced in a currency with its value based on the economic puissance of Germany, a major export nation. Instead the German currency is the weak euro. With the improving economies of local countries, there will be more opportunities for German companies within the Eurozone, removing the currency risk. The European Union was the globe's largest exporter by value in 2011, according to the CIA Factbook. Even after being in a "depression" in the view of some experts less than a year ago, the European Commission reports that it is still the top exporter of manufactured goods and services. The improving economies in Europe will create opportunities for growth for these firms at home, especially in the energy sector. From blue chips like Unilever to small-caps like Octagon 88, there are many stocks in Europe that should rise along with the economic growth of the region. At the time of publication, the author held no positions in any of the stocks mentioned.

Crash of the Titans, developer Radical tells us, "is not a kid's game." We might have to disagree. After all, Crash has always been a kiddie-friendly, non-edgy platform hero, and within two seconds of our latest viewing of the game Crash blew off a fart, seemingly for his own amusement. All right, so maybe we sniggered just a bit. But it's hardly award-winning comedy gold, is it?
What we think Radical really means is that Crash of the Titans "isn't just another brainless platforming game." And we'd agree with that. CotT still depends on traditional jump-avoid-bash gameplay, but Crash's new "jack" skill gives the game something different to grab our attention. Now we can use an enemy's weapons against our other enemies. In fact, there's three decidedly bright ideas at the heart of Crash's new outing, giving it the potential to be more than just another kid's game.
Hire cartoon actors, not movie stars
This makes so much sense we can't believe it doesn't happen more often. Hollywood actors are regularly trotted out to put their voice to this game or that, when there's a legion of skilled voice-talent practiced in the art of using their tones to act out similarly unseen action - the cartoon voice guys and gals.
You probably won't recognize their names. But their ability to evoke real personality with just their voice brings much-needed character and atmosphere to Crash's enemies. Your early foes, for instance, totter around mumbling mirthsome nothings, reminding us of Professor Frink from The Simpsons. If this entertaining effect stretches to enough other characters, Crash of the Titans will stand out on voice support alone.

The hospitality of the Indian community at the University of Massachusetts made it easy for JANANI VISWANATHAN to fit in.
I came here in the fall of 2012 to pursue a master's in Biological Sciences at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. I was at ease because of the wonderful Indian student community here. The tradition of helping new students from the time they land by picking them up from the airport, helping them find a permanent place to stay, and selecting courses is coordinated — the Indian Student Association.
The class structure and examination pattern was new and made me apprehensive. Writing pages elaborately does not help. As my professor put it "Brevity is the soul"! All that the graders need to know is whether they have understood the concept or not. And nobody is judged by the scores or grades they get. All students are treated the same and all that is expected of them is the enthusiasm to learn and absolute honesty in all the work they do. Professional Science Masters is a combination of Masters and management studies which focuses on having more management professionals with subject knowledge in the industry.
I was the first student who had opted for this stream (Biosafety) in my university. I had chosen the same because of my specific interests in the field. My graduate coordinator was kind enough to introduce me to professionals working in the field who I could direct my questions to.
It showed me how the professors were concerned about each of their students. It is an upcoming field and I would recommend it to any interested student to pursue the same.
For aspiring students
Indian festivals are celebrated with pride by all the students here. I got involved in the music band and performed in some of the events. If you have talent, make sure you pursue it.
Our university has a Campus Recreation Centre (CRC) which encourages all students to keep themselves fit by organising activities such as zumba, yoga, kickboxing, salsa, swimming, and the like.
I would recommend any student coming here to check out the CRC and learn something new. Make sure you go for trips organised for international students and explore the country. Make sure you participate in at least a couple of activities with fellow students. Don't restrict yourself to your own community. That's not what you have come all the way for. Make new friends, explore new cuisines and learn about new cultures!

Affinities: A Journal of Radical Theory, Culture, and Action
Publisher: Affinities Editorial Board and Publishing Collective
Affinities is a web-based journal that focuses on groups, movements, and communities that set out to construct sustainable alternatives to the racist, hetero-sexist, system of liberal-capitalist nation-states.
We are interested in questions such as: What kind of experiments are out there, beyond the state and corporate forms? How are they working, what obstacles are they encountering? What are people doing to emulate their successes and avoid their failures? How do these experiments relate to various histories of radical struggle? How do we build lasting culture(s) of resistance and (re-)construction?
Affinities will publish work that comes from perspectives including, but not limited to, anarchism, anti-racism, autonomist marxism, disability studies, ecology, feminism, indigenous politics, poststructuralism, postcolonial studies, and queer theory. We do not seek to synthesize or prioritize any of these traditions; rather, we are interested in the ways in which they intersect, in how they can inform and critique one another while retaining their own particular approaches and questions.
Issues often follow a theme.

Pretty Hair Colors
Those with blond hair color, can opt for hair highlights colors such as pink, BlackBerry or neon orange.
Those with dark hair can go for shades of honey blonde, platinum blonde or highlighted gold.
Use an unnatural combination of contrasting colors to highlight your hair with striking, bold stripes.
Pink out or having only the ponytail that was highlighted with different colors is ideal for those seeking a highlighted look funky.
You can also have both highlights and low lights, as well as two different colors or shades of the same color.
To cover grey hair, consider getting hair highlights shades that are close to your natural hair color.
Hair coloring, highlighting should complement its tone of skin and personality, in order to improve their appearance. Maintenance and hair care is extremely important after getting your hair colored or highlighted. To do this, you must use hair care products that are specially formulated for color-treated hair. So you go ahead, have your hair colored or highlighted and they flaunt her new look!

Jem'Hadar Strength
How would a Jem'Hadar fare in a H2H fight with a Hirogen? The Hirogen was throwing around Tuvok in one episode, so they obviously have massive strength. Also, would 5 Jem'Hadar soldiers have a chance against Data in an empty room, or should they just beam away as fast as they can? |

Re: Jem'Hadar Strength
Similarly, they appear evenly matched with Worf in terms of sheer strength in "By Inferno's Light", and we have seen that Klingons do not possess a strength advantage over our human heroes. Additionally, they are quite susceptible to punches in the jaw or gut, just as susceptible as the human heroes - an issue unrelated to muscular strength, but interesting nevertheless. The bodily advantages of the Jem'Hadar thus seem to lie in their invisibility (before engaging in combat); in their mass-produceability; and in their endurance on minimal supplies (provided Ketracel White is available). Their average strength matches that of our heroes, who admittedly probably always represent above average strength for humans. Timo Saloniemi |

Perhaps a better battle would be 5 Hirogen vs. Data or 5 Gorn vs. Data, though I'm sure if Data really went all out he could one-shot either of them. |

Re: Jem'Hadar Strength
While Data clearly has more strength than any other humanoid-shaped character we have witnessed, five more or less "normal-strength" opponents might plausibly defeat him by the above method. Even if Data managed to incapacitate two of them, the remaining three might lift him off the ground and deny him leverage, then proceed to bash him to bits with blunt objects. That's another interesting question right there, though: how vulnerable is Data, really? We have seen that the skin around his skull can be peeled off with a hard blow (say, in "Thine Own Self"), but the structures beneath seem none the worse for the wear. We have seen a light machine gun pepper his midbody for several seconds, with no ill effects, so presumably the bullets didn't penetrate. Various explosions have separated his body parts, though, and the simple mechanical force of falling from a height of perhaps ten meters was enough to rip off the arm of another Soong android, Juliana Tainer, in "Inheritance". Quite possibly, the five Jem'Hadar could turn Data into a collection of four spasming limbs, one helpless torso, and one head that shouts insults at them like the Black Knight from the Monty Python sketch.

Re: Jem'Hadar Strength
Jem'hadar vs Hirogen is a tough fight, in a 1 on 1 i think it comes down to who is the BETTER of his own, a strong Jem'hadar first would probably kill a hirogen beta, but a hirogen alpha would kill a weak jem'hadar Data strength wise is on another level, he has shown phenomenal feats of strength that puts him above any hirogen or jem'hadar that i have seen. In a one on one unarmed fight, he tears either apart. |

Re: Jem'Hadar Strength
And he's made of metals, and thus should weigh much more than a human of the same volume whose density is comparable to that of water, but does not. But if he really is the same weight as humans he shouldn't have super strength, but he does. Gem'Hadar aren't that much stronger than strong humans. With Hirogen, it depends. If you go by how strong the writers say they are, Hirogen wins over Gem'Hadar. If you go by how they actually came off in the show, Gem'Hadar wins over Hirogen. 5 Gem'hadar vs Data, it really seems if Data is able to see them cloaked. If not they might be able to disable him with a surprise attack. |

Re: Jem'Hadar Strength
This probably simply means that he's hooked to a wireless power network, like every other piece of Federation hardware (military or civilian) most probably is, and never needs to plug into a physical socket when aboard a starship or starbase or walking on the streets or dwellings of a Federation world.
In any case, Data is heavier than water and sinks as told in "Descent" and seen in ST:INS, but a simple flotation aid the size of a standard tire-style life preserver re-floats him; not particularly aphysical by any means.

UNITED NATIONS, May 29 (Xinhua) -- The UN Security Council on Thursday urged the Lebanese Parliament to ensure that " presidential elections take place as soon as possible and without external interference" in the Middle East country.
A presidential statement, adopted by the 15-nation UN body, said, "The Security Council reiterates its full support for the government of Lebanon to discharge its duties during this interim period in accordance with the constitution, until the election of the new president."
On Sunday, UN Secretary-General said he regretted that the Lebanese Parliament was unable to elect a new president within the timeframe set by the constitution.
The term of the head of state, Michel Sleiman, ended on Sunday, and the Lebanese Constitution specifies that parliament members must convene to elect a new president before the deadline passes.
