Update: Spring registrations are in progress. If interested in starting a new Org, get in touch with us to plan for a Fall start.
Creating a new Registered Student Organization is not difficult, but it does take time and energy. There are many great ideas for new student organizations, and the Office of Student Programs is here to help you turn them into reality. While the actual process of registering a new group is straight forward, to ensure that students have an understanding of all their community expectations and resources available to them, the process cannot be rushed. Registration is merely an administrative task involved in recognizing the founding of a new community on campus.
Students interested in forming a new organization need to establish a clear goal of what they hope their organization will become. Setting up a meeting with the Assistant Director of Student Programs, Erin Mosher, will help you gather your thoughts and ensure your success*. There is a need to discuss the mission and objectives of the proposed group (goals), the number of students interested, the resources available, and a determination that the interest and needs of the proposed group are not already being met by an existing campus organization. An action plan needs to be proposed on how a new group will spend it's first semester cultivating their leadership, establishing group guidelines, and fine-tuning their mission/purpose.
Students well-prepared for a new org meeting will have:
- A name for the new org and mission statement idea, crafted, and prepared for feedback
- A list of current members
- A list of group goals for the semester/year
- An action-plan for new member recruitment, leadership transition, possible finance and fundraising ideas, and ideas for events
- Questions!
A new org should have at least 10 people interested in active participation before registering. This is to ensure success, based on resources and student involvement. After the preliminary meeting and authorization, new groups must complete the online Organization Registration forms for the Office of Student Programs. Registration gives access to the privileges of registered student organizations on campus (SGA funding, event coordination, room reservation, tabling and banner space, etc). While creating a new student organization in order to participate in a Student Org fair and/or to apply for SGA funding are wonderful benefits, they should not be the sole reason for registration, nor can the process of creating a new org be rushed to seek participation.
* New org ideas may be brainstormed during a meeting with the Assistant Director, however students are welcome to gather ideas, possible group members, and draft a mission statement prior to arranging an appointment.
Club Sports and Recreation Organizations
While club sports and movement & recreation organizations are registered through the Office of Student Programs, club sports are dually administered through the Department of Physical Education and Athletics, and supervised by Amie Canfield. The planning for creating such organizations is often more intensive than other groups, and Mount Holyoke encourages students to adhere and follow the regulations of any national affiliate groups and charters. Students should come to Student Programs to discuss their ideas and if we feel it meets the criteria of the risk level of a club sport we will connect them with athletics for further support.
For clarification, here are some of the basic differences between a recreation organization and a club sport:
- Club sports are intercollegiately competitive. They practice and require coaches, whom are paid from SGA funds and a staff member of the college. These groups require greater administrative oversight and risk management.
- Dance, movement & recreation organizations do not compete on the collegiate level, and require little-to-no practice. Coaches are not provided.

Calallen boys basketball coach resigns
CORPUS CHRISTI - A year after leading Calallen to the Region IV-4A tournament, Jeff Crews has resigned as Calallen's boys basketball coach. The Wildcats promoted boys varsity assistant coach Randy Lowrance to the head job Wednesday, Calallen athletic director Phil Danaher said.
The 51-year-old Crews said he stepped down so that he and his wife, Cheryl, can move closer to their children and grandchildren, who live in San Antonio.
Crews led Calallen to the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons as head coach, to four district championships and to the Region IV-4A tournament twice. He posted a 202-102 record.
Crews resigned April 12.
"It was a pretty tough decision. My wife and I have been praying about it for three years," said Crews, who coached at Calallen ISD for 26 years, previously coaching junior varsity, freshman and junior high basketball. "It's really going to be tough not being at Calallen. It's a great school, with great people and great kids."
Danaher said the 48-year-old Lowrance, who has been varsity assistant at the school since 2001, was the perfect fit for the head coaching position.
"He knows the kids, he knows the offense and defense having coached under coach Crews, and we felt like he would provide the smoothest transition for our program," Danaher said. "He also has a great knowledge of the game."
Lowrance has been with Calallen ISD since 1991, as he previously coached middle school basketball.
"I'm looking forward to keeping the same tradition going that we've had here for quite a while," Lowrance said.
The Wildcats (20-13 overall, 6-8 in district) missed the playoffs this season after standout senior point guard Michael Cantu suffered an ankle injury late in the season.
"That was kind of a bitter pill — here at Calallen you're expected to make the playoffs," Crews said. "But our success this past season wasn't measured in wins and losses. The kids showed great effort through that adversity. They could've shut it down but they didn't. Hopefully, they will carry that into next season."
Lowrance will have three returning lettermen — point guard Christian Cantu, post John Carrillo and forward/post Wyatt Mathisen — from that team to work with next season.
"We're looking forward to getting them back on the right path," Lowrance said. "I know our players have high expectations as do I."
Lowrance said he plans to instill more full-court pressure on defense and more up-tempo play on offense next season.
"We're real young and we don't have a lot of height, so that's probably what we're going to have to do to have success," Lowrance said.
Crews also coached the Calallen boys cross country team to its second District 31-4A championship in four seasons this past year. Last season's cross country team also placed fifth in Region IV-4A.

Unit 3 Cultural Patterns and Processes
The article discusses Pastafarianism and how it is becoming an actual religion in many parts of the world even though it basically is a satire of Christianity and mocks other religions. Pastafarians worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster and have interesting views and beliefs.
Religion is a key part of culture and many people's day to day activities. There are many ancient religions which have millions of followers and there are also some religions that have been dying away. However, it has been rare to see new religions emerge in our day and age, but Pastafarianim is a very young religion which is questioned by many and considered a joke to many people.

Unit 5: land use
This article mainly tells you how France is trying to be "greener" by passing a law that says "all new buildings in commercial zones must be partially covered in either plants or solar panels"
This article ties into unit 5 by showing how the french lawmakers are making their commercial zones more efficient and healthier by having the greenery and or solar panels on the top of buildings.
Molly McComb's curator insight, May 27, 11:36 AM
Global use of fossil fuels has decreased due to the increase of alternative energy sources. With this, France passed a new law that in commercial or urban zones rooftops must be partially covered in plants or solar panes. These roofs help reduce the amount of money needed to heat building in the winter and cool it in the summer. If the global population continued to increase the use of these green roofs, the amount of fossil fuels will continue to reduce.
Avery Liardon's curator insight, May 20, 10:29 AM
Unit 5:
With the rise of commercial agriculture, people all around the world suffer from famine and crop production issues both directly and indirectly. Because China is such a large component in the production of sugarcane, they export on a global scale. With a decrease in production causes a decrease in sales, and eliminates other countries from gaining an export, which can hurt many different economies.
Raychel Johnson's curator insight, May 26, 6:38 PM
Summary: This article discussed China's current crop production situation, and it's goal of self-sufficiency. Currently, and surprisingly, China is mostly self-sufficient, and has been for a while, even through disastrous famines. But in recent time, China was been struggling with its self-sufficiency goal, because of how much the government has to pay local farmers to keep them afloat, and especially compared to the lower import prices. Farms in China were able to pay illegal Vietnamese workers more cheaply, but with recent tension between the two countries, the immigrants have been shut out. There also isn't enough water, and with the use of chemicals to try and produce crops more quickly, the water that's left is polluted. So, although self-sufficiency in China seems pretty manageable, it's actually a lot farther away than it seems.
Insight: This relates to interdependence and production and consumption values, because it shows what kind of an outlier China is. Most countries rely on imports and the global market to get all of the available food products, and this creates a lot of global interdependence. China, however, is trying to move away from the global scheme, into that of nationally grown crops and products, which hasn't really worked out numerically, as the population of China is consuming more than it is producing.
Molly McComb's curator insight, May 27, 11:14 AM
Showing how different countries in Asia have been affected by the growning need for sugar cane. Chinese farmers were hiring vietnamese workers to till their fields. Around 50,000 vietnamese workers travel to Chinese cities especially during the winter harvest. But due to political issues, China has begun to turn the migrants away and fend for themselves.
Avery Liardon's curator insight, May 20, 10:46 AM
Blends concepts from both human geography and world history, providing explanations for both sides of the argument. Interesting outlook, and would serve as a good topic to debate or host a model UN discussion about it.
Isabella El-Hage's curator insight, March 18, 12:24 PM
This article links to Unit Two through "promoting population growth". Japan has always faced low birth rates, and the elderly take up 25% of Japan's population! For the fourth year in a row, Japan's birthrates have been at an all time low, and the Japanese government has started to take action. Several methods have been started including matchmaking, and local governments have started to promote speed dating. Free nursing care has been expanded along with building more fertility centers, and increasing paternity leave. I think all the Japanese efforts will soon show results, and the the birth rate will slowly increase.
Raychel Johnson's curator insight, May 25, 6:09 PM
Summary: In this video clip, John Oliver talked about the role that territories of the United States play, and what rights they do or don't have as part of the United States. None of the territories have any voting rights, so their votes for president, if held, don't get counted in whatsoever. Also, they have nearly no medical facilities available to them, even though most of the residents are veterans of some war or another. They also have no representation in the Senate or House, and even if they have a delegate, that delegate has no voting rights.
Insight: This video shows how the contemporary political pattern has shifted, especially away from developing regions. Even though these territories are claimed by the United States, and are inhabited by United States citizens, they still don't have the same rights as a United States citizen inhabiting a state. The political pattern is to encompass an area to gain sovereignty over it, even if they don't have the same political rights as a normal state.
Isabella El-Hage's curator insight, March 18, 2:23 PM
This article links to Unit Two through "decreased birth rate consequences". Italy is now facing an all time low in birth rates, and immigration has decreased too, not helping the problem. Some people believe that society's thought process today is that having children is a burden or even a risk. They also think that people are becoming more selfish because they're choosing not to have children. Economy is slow due to declined birth rates, there are less people to occupy jobs, and people move away to start businesses. The Pope even said he thinks people need to remember the beauty in large families.

National Trends
On average, nonprofit employees earn slightly more than those working at for-profit companies. This may come as a surprise to many, but it supports the idea that nonprofits must compete for highly capable, talented, ethical, productive, and creative employees just like for-profit companies and offering a comparable salary is one way to do just that.
Attracting employees to the nonprofit sector is important because the sector is growing fast. From 1998 to 2005, employment in nonprofits outpaced national growth in other sectors by approximately ten percent. Furthermore, from 1998 to 2008, the number of registered nonprofits grew by 31 percent.
The following information provides some background of the nonprofit sector in the United States:
- There are more than 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States
- Approximately 80 million people volunteer with nonprofit organizations
- The nonprofit sector employs more than 14 million people
- In 2009, volunteers contributed 15 billion hours to nonprofits nationally, an amount worth $279 billion at the current average wage rate
- U.S. based nonprofits have over $4.3 trillion in assets

Penguins-Flyers produced best playoff opener ratings in 10 years
Apr 13, 2012, 8:21 PM EDT
The high-wattage star power of a Philadelphia Flyers-Pittsburgh Penguins series, unprecedented overall game coverage and a night full of twists and turns manifested itself in some great ratings to kick off the 2012 playoffs on Wednesday. The NHL provided a press release full of promising numbers from the first two nights of postseason puck-viewing, so here are some of the highlights.
- Wednesday's trio of contests (two on NBC Sports Network, one on CNBC) represented a 34 percent increase from last year's ratings on what was then called Versus.
- Overall ratings during the first two days (Wednesday and Thursday) represented a 22 percent increase from last year. Interestingly enough, Thursday's trio of OT games was the first since 2001.
- Again, the Flyers-Penguins thriller made the biggest impact. The press release captures the impressive numbers quite nicely, so here's the excerpt:
Viewership for Wednesday night's opening round game featuring the Pittsburgh Penguins and rival Philadelphia Flyers was up 83% from last year's comparable opening night contest. It was the most-watched opening night playoff game in 10 years, a span that includes seasons when ESPN was the national U.S. rights holder.
In other words … No, it's not just you. The playoffs have been electric so far. Here's to many more nights like the first two during the next two-or-so months – even if it might be a little exhausting at times.

The reason is the Flyers not the diving penguins !

CN Blue has successfully wrapped up its 13-day Japanese tour, drawing sell-out crowds at its nine concerts, the group's agency said.
According to FNC Music, CN Blue began the tour on Feb. 13 and traveled to Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo and Yokohama. The band had planned the concerts after its second single "Where You Are", which was released on Feb. 1, topped the Oricon weekly charts by selling more than 60,000 copies in its first week.
CN Blue performed at small theaters with seating capacities of around 10,000 where the band had played before making its mainstream debut. The band performed its 12 songs, including "In My Head", "Voice" and "Kimio".
"The tour reminded us of our indie roots and we just thank our fans who have supported us", CN Blue said in a press release. "We will work hard in the future to present better music to the fans". CN Blue's next stop will be Los Angeles' Nokia Theater, where it will perform with fellow K-pop group FT Island on March 9.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In Photoshop Lightroom 3 Essential Training, author Chris Orwig provides a comprehensive look at Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3, the popular photo-asset management, enhancement, and publishing program. The course covers indispensable techniques such as importing, processing, and organizing images in the Library, correcting and adjusting images in the Develop module, and creating slideshows, web galleries, and print picture packages. In addition to exploring all of Lightroom 3's capabilities, this course is rich with creative tips and expert advice on photographic workflow. Exercise files accompany the course.
Because many people aren't' familiar with hosting and domain names and because this topic can be a bit confusing, I thought it'd be helpful to include a brief bonus movie where we talk about these topics. Now, the first thing I want to share with you is a link. It's crisorwing.com/hosting. If you navigate to that in your Web browser what you'll find is a couple of different hosting recommendations. The first one is Bluehost, and if you click on the link from this site, it will take you to Bluehost, and this is a really good and affordable hosting company.
The other one is Media Temple, and this is the one to go for if you are looking for something a bit more high-end. Now, you may be thinking "I don't even know what I am looking for. I don't even know how this whole domain name and hosting thing works." Well, let's try on an analogy for size. One of the ways that I like to think of this is I compare it to how cell phone service works. For example, if you want a cell phone, of course, you have to buy the actual device, the hardware, and here we have a cell phone, but it's not really worth anything unless we have a calling plan, and our calling plan will be a certain number of minutes or some kind of an arrangement, right? So, it's these two together which really allows us to have cell phone service and allows us to use a cell phone.
So, how then does this compare to domain names and hosting? Well, you could, in a way, think of your cell phone kind of like a domain name. You can, of course, buy a domain name and not have any hosting. In other words, it's like having in an inert cell phone. You have it, but you can't use it. Well, in order to activate that or to use it what you need to do is to buy a hosting package, and you can think of the calling plan kind of like that. So, whenever you are picking this up, typically it's a good idea to get your domain name and your hosting at the same place.
It just simplifies the overall process. Now, once you have your domain name and hosting, then you can get your information and take advantage of this feature inside of Lightroom, which allows you to upload your photographs directly to your server.
There are currently no FAQs about Lightroom 3 Essential Training.

Whole Salmon With Lemon Rice Stuffing
|8 Pound, cleaned (Whole, 1 Whole Salmon Of 4 To 8 Pound)
|1 Small (Thin Skinned)
|Melted butter/Margarine
|1 Tablespoon
Prepare lemon-rice stuffing
Wipe fish with damp cloth, inside body cavity and out.
Lightly pack stuffing into cavity; sew opening with heavy thread (wrap any leftover stuffing in foil and heat on grill).
Cut a piece of heavy-duty foil to fit one side of fish; grease foil generously.
Slice grapefruit as thinly as possible; lay half the slices, overlapping slightly, on greased foil.
Lay fish on grapefruit; then press foil smoothly to fit fish.
Arrange remaining slices evenly on top of fish.
If desired, insert a thermometer into thickest portion of fish (but not touching dorsal fin).
Bank about 20 medium-glowing coals on each side of fire grill; place grill 4 to 6 inches above coals.
Place fish, foil-side-down, on grill directly over space between coals.
Arrange a wad of foil under tail to support it and protect it slightly from heat.
Drizzle fish with melted butter.
Cover barbecue and adjust dampers according to manufacturer's direction.
Cook, basting occasionally with melted butter, until fish flakes readily when prodded in thickest portion with a fork, or until meat thermometer registers 120°.
For a 3-inch-thick fish (measure in thickest portion after stuffing), allow at least 30 minutes.
Spoon out some stuffing to accompany each serving.

For the celebration, former U.S. poet laureate Billy Collins was commissioned to write an ode to the monument.
But by 1845, he had a state pension and in November 1850, he was a surprise pick for poet laureate.
The New York Times called him "the poet laureate of medicine."
The national poet in Britain. Historically, the poet laureate's duty has been to compose official poetry for the king's or queen's birthday and for great public occasions, such as victories in war, coronations, and births and weddings in the royal family. The poets laureate of Britain have included Geoffrey Chaucer, William Wordsworth, and Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
Note: The largely ceremonial position of poet laureate was created in the United States in 1985.

Rhode Island's Attorney General has approved the affiliation of the nonprofit CharterCare Health system and the California-based for-profit Prospect Medical Holdings. CharterCare operates Roger Williams, St. Joseph's, and Our Lady of Fatima hospitals.
CharterCARE, the umbrella organization for Our Lady of Fatima and Roger Williams hospitals, has announced its intent to partner with Prospect Medical Holdings, a for-profit health care firm based in California. The deal is in its infancy. But it's the fourth proposed hospital merger/acquisition under Rhode Islands Hospital Conversions Act. And it's yet another sign of the shaky financial ground on which many of the state's hospitals now find themselves.

Back in October, Nike, which owns Converse, sued 31 companies for manufacturing knock-off versions of those famous "Chuck Taylor" Converse All-Star shoes. You're seen them before: the canvas high-tops with the big star on the ankle.
You've also probably seen the knock-offs, which come dangerously close to looking just like Converse's Chuck Taylors. Well, yesterday, at least one company -- Ralph Lauren -- settled its dispute with Nike. Just 30 more to go!

There was an article in the latest WIRED that was somewhat related to this; it basically said that Microsoft had been playing it safe for the past decade because they had all that anti-trust scrutiny, and now that the anti-trust cases are settled, Microsoft's started to take a lot more risks (like the Surface).
yeah I don't think MS is the type of stock you dump money in to get a quick buck. They are a solid company that have a clear business plan and don't really swing for homeruns. I mean they try every now and then but they are mostly a consistent singles type of company. Sure they've had their highs and lows, but over the last 10 years they have been near the same price point.

That might be your viewpoint but it's not everyone's. I don't see Windows 8 as a downgrade in any way. Frankly, it's not really all that different to me at all. Time will tell if it's truly a step in the right direction or not, but Windows 8 is certainly attempting to introduce new behavior, much like Windows 95 did.
Um maybe because Windows 95 was progress for the better?
To go from this: http://en.wikipedia....ki/Windows_3.1x
To this: http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Windows_95
Is progress for the better. To go from what we have now to a similar 3.1 style of things is not progress at all.

I would be delighted to. Let me get your full legal Name, phone number, address, bank name and/or routing number, account number(s), social security number and an email address for confirmation. I will get that money over to you ASAP.

How about you just send the cash to my P.O Box? - Also make it British Pounds Sterling, I don't want any of that American Mickey Mouse money.
Posted 04 August 2012 - 23:41
Sure. But, my father, who is a Nigerian king, has put the money in a trust fund for me. I can get it out early, but there's a penalty for early withdrawal. The penalty is 12%. So, it will cost me $2400 or £1534. Oh! I have an idea. If you Western Union me the money for the penalty, I can withdraw the remaining funds and send them to you. Deal?

How is concept art displayed in the workplace?
Hey guys,
I'm curious as to how concept art is generally displayed in your workplace.
From what I've gathered (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the initial purpose of concept art is often to generate ideas and develop the aesthetics and ideas surrounding environments, objects and characters. Later the purpose of concept art is to support further developments and also to provide ongoing inspiration and targets for the production teams.
If this is the case, how is the concept art displayed? Is it hung on the wall in a communal place (a foyer, lunchroom, hallway, etc)? Is it put on monitors or tacked up? Do you ever add subtle animated pieces (moving clouds, etc) and present it on a screen or is it always in print?

There are different levels of "concept art", with different purposes, audiences and presentation methods. Most often it is displayed on a screen, printed out and put on boards or tacked up on a dedicated wall in what is often called a "war room". Concept work can also be presented via PowerPoint or some other projection during a review meeting.
Concept art runs the gamut from simple sketches between AD and artist all the way up to what are called "production paintings" which help set the mood and tone for a project. There's a lot of variation between and whatever makes most sense is how it is displayed.
So basically the answer is concept art is displayed in a variety of ways. And yes, "animatics" are a good way to show some things.
Edit: You should always work at print resolutions because most of the time it will be printed at some point, either to put on a wall, a board or to be included in a design doc.

I've also noticed that putting up concept art work motivates people into making their placeholder cubes and spheres even more fun when they realize what it's going to look like at or around the alpha gate. So make your concepts cool not just for sales but also to motivate your code-stricken programmers and designers who for some reason need art to do their jobs properly.

Thanks guys!
I don't want to bother you all too much, but is there a definitive summary of the job(s) a concept artist would face, how the concept artist operates in the workplace, etc? I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the job through searching the forums and running it through Google but everybody seems to have slightly different ideas
May 26th, 2012 #5
There are different ideas because it is always very different. Studios are different, teams are different, individual projects are different, genres are different, entertainment forms are different...so roles, responsibilities and the workplace are different across companies, projects and artists.
In addition you often get hired on to do one thing...and that morphs into 6 others. Syd Mead was brought in on Bladerunner simply to do like four vehicles...but since he's such a holistic designer he placed them in environments. Those environments rocked of course and he ended up basically designing everything.
So yeah, part of the fun is how much variation there is. The one constant is to have a good imagination, have loads of initiative, don't be afraid to take chances, be good at visualizing bitchin stuff...and be fast at it. You also have to care very little about your work...zero ego...'cause it's going to get hammered.

Thanks! I'm starting to build up a good idea of how it works.
I'm thinking about looking for an internship for part of our mid-year Winter break or the longer Summer break, which should be good.
Do you agree with what Xensoldier said yesterday;
"As he said, you haven't done your "homework" on research and understanding the entertainment industry. Do make sure that part of your time working on art also including learning the ins and outs of this career path.
See, getting your foot in the door of this industry is incredibly competitive and difficult to get in. Every single concept artist in the industry is first and foremost a "generalist" at the minimum(in that they are decent at character+creature design/ environments/ industrial (vehicles,guns, structures etc etc) design). You will be required to be able to do any of those (it would be very unprofessional to be ordered to do say a vehicle, and you tell them that "no I only do environments"). So yes in the industry will need to be able to do all 3 categories, in the aspect of "specializing", it would be environments that you would be not decent, but great at.
With enough experience working professionally you could just about fully specialize as an environment concept artist like Noah Bradley, but as a freelancer, not really in-house.
So don't focus on one specific area, practice all your foundational skills. Because in the end as Feng Zhu said "There is no difference between any of them." for professional level artist."
in terms of the nature of specialisation in the industry?
May 26th, 2012 #7
Yeah - I would agree with those comments...sounds like someone with experience. At the higher levels you find more specialization...but people at that level can still handle any of it...just that they are better or have a certain look for environments, or characters or creatures.
It is still true though that Alan Lee wouldn't be the guy to design a futuristic orbital space weapons system. But yeah, keep doing your research...all kinds of info out there on this career path.

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 11/27/12
Ed Bouchette reports that Steelers WR Antonio Brown and S Troy Polamalu are expected to return to practice on Wednesday and both have a shot at playing against the Ravens this weekend. Brown has missed a few weeks because of an ankle injury, so having him back in the lineup would certainly help their passing attack in the weeks to come. If Charlie Batch is under center against Baltimore, they still have a hard time moving the ball through the air, but Ben Roethlisberger at least has a shot of returning in time for this weekends game. Polamalu has missed the majority of the season, but Ryan Clark has done a pretty decent job of manning the safety while he was out. Bouchette adds that OLB LaMarr Woodley is considered doubtful for Week 13.

Actress Deepika Padukone's purported boyfriend Siddharth Mallya has chosen Sonam Kapoor as the most stylish actress in Bollywood.
'Most stylish actress! I think Sonam dresses pretty well, but they all doll up pretty well, but Sonam looks pretty good,' Siddharth said here at the red carpet of an award ceremony.
When asked about Deepika's style, the Kingfisher scion nonchalantly said: 'She has not got a bad sense of style either.'
But Siddharth played it safe when asked to choose the most stylish person of 2011.
'I've always actually said this that Prateik Babbar is pretty stylish. He has got his own sort of quirky sense of style. So he is pretty cool,' he said.
Siddharth has reportedly been dating Deepika for a while and the duo has been spotted together on several occasions.

Like millions of Americans, Linda Brown, suffering from a debilitating pain in her face, struggled against the quicksand of pain medication. The more pills she took, the more she needed.
"I was becoming an addict," she said. "I was no longer functioning at, what I considered, a life."
She was taking 20 to 30 pills every day, and even set her alarm clock for 2 a.m. so she could take more medication to avoid the pain, which she described it as a "bolt of lightning," a "bad electrical shock." A slight breeze or the simplest touch -- even smiling -- was excruciating. It all started in February 2002.
Tune in to World News Tonight to see the first part of our series, Take Back Your Life: Overcoming Pain
"I had just come home from vacation, and I had felt what I thought was this horrible toothache," she said. "It was a pain I had never experienced before."
Doctor after doctor had could not figure it out, and offered more prescription pills for her trigeminal neuralgia, an often undiagnosed condition in which even the gentlest pressure can feel like a hot poker to the nerve.
Brown became so overcome with pain that her life was starting to disappear before her eyes. Her relationships changed, it became hard to work, and because of her pain, she refused to be alone with her grandchildren, afraid she wouldn't be able to take care of them if they needed her.
Get Dr. Besser's 3 Tips For Tackling Your Pain Problems
"I couldn't risk them not getting the proper care if something happened," she said. "I ceased to be able to exist. I didn't like to be around people because I didn't like them to see me hurt. I just was not Linda Brown."
After a while, even the pills stopped working, and she could no longer function.
"I was out of options," she said. "I was taking the maximum medication I could take. We had tried every other medication."
Finally she saw a Neurosurgeon, Dr. Dong Kim at Memorial Hermann Hospital and UT Health, who said that he could cure her pain -- with only a tiny piece of felt. Kim operated, using the felt to cushion the trigeminal nerve, which was being squeezed between two blood vessels.
"He's my miracle man," said Brown.
Incredibly after years of mind-numbing medicines and bouts of debilitating anguish, Brown's pain was eliminated by the two hour surgery.
"From the very minute I woke up, I have not had another pain," she said. "I have not taken one pill."
Thanks to Kim's surgery, she has returned to being the Linda Brown her friends and family knew and loved.
"People who had not been around me for a while, they thought I was sad. They didn't know. They didn't understand. ... It hurt to smile."
She has all of her energy back -- enough to go fishing in the pond on her property or to ride her four-wheeler. But the best gift of all is that she now has the energy and strength to spend time with her grandkids.
"I have been able to take the kids on my own and have the quality time," she said, when ABC News spoke to her a month after the surgery on a trip with the kids to the zoo. "Luke running into my arms, that couldn't have happened. Picking up Sydney and holding her by the giraffes ... I couldn't have done that. Just them and gram."

Does Trump Own The Phrase "You're Fired?"
I was watching the Apprentice last nite, and got to thinking about his trademark phrase, "You're Fired". And then I seemed to recall that he actually owns that phrase, so I did some digging.
I was watching the Apprentice last nite, and got to thinking about his trademark phrase, "You're Fired". And then I seemed to recall that he actually owns that phrase, so I did some digging.
The election is down to the wire, but the absurdity still continues. I thought it was a joke when I heard that Donald Trump told Obama that if he would produce his birth certificate, he would donate millions of dollars to charity. Now here comes another "dare".
I'm starting a new feature, thanks to a great website. I wanted to share with you some of the top celebrities' real estate that they are either trying to unload or have unloaded. Some of these you won't believe. We'll start with Yankee Derek Jeter's
This one is just me in thinking mode (a rare occurrence these days, but bear with me). I've been watching alot of The Apprentice lately. It's been a great season, and we've totally enjoyed it. But I got to thinking about it. That show has had some very positive effects, believe it or not. And from a reality show? Go figure!
If I'm being totally honest, things got off to a bit of a slow start today. Much like a car in the dead of winter we had to hit the ignition on the monologue a few times before it actually rumbled into life. I think once we got it going though there were a couple of laughs to be had. Let's see what we made fun of today on the "Sean and Richie Show".
Gary Busey got fired by Donald Trump, would he really still endorse him? Micheal Jackson's doctor treated a man on a plane. Thor had to bulk up to get in the movies. I tell you about a prom dress that looks good enough to eat, and so much more in today's morning monologue
This has been another insane ride this week. Trump was "on the stump"--the first male of the season was bounced off of American Idol-- planes bouncing off each other in the JFK parking lot. But the big question is "will it rhyme?" Lord knows I tried!
After hearing The Donald say "you're fired" from his reality shows "The Apprentice"/"Celebrity Apprentice", maybe we'll be saying "you're hired-as the president.

Last night I was watching the last couple innings of the Reds game and this Reds coach popped up on the screen with dark Batman-looking eyes and a very well-defined face and I was like, "Who the fuck is that dude?"
A few weeks before the spring signing period began, Mick Cronin hinted on a local radio station that there would be some surprises in store for Bearcat fans come April 15. Well, April 15 has come and gone, and with the signing period ending next week (May 20) it's nearly time to panic.
One of Cronin's prized recruits last year was 7-foot-3 John Riek, who never got on the court for the Bearcats. Riek spent the year rehabbing his knee, and due to some weird NCAA paperwork/eligibility issues found himself uncommitted to UC this spring. He surprisingly signed with
the University of Mississippi Mississippi State this month, leaving UC without the giant dude it was expecting to put up front with sophomore Yancy Gates.
Let's not point out the many things I haven't been right about so far in 2009. Instead, let's focus on my Spring Training prediction that Laynce Nix, if healthy and in the lineup, would hit 25 home runs. It looks pretty feasible. The shot he hit to dead center in Arizona last night was certainly not a cheapie.
There are times during Reds TV broadcasts when one just shakes his head and thinks, "Goddammit George Grande, the world ain't all that great." And there are times when you might say, "Welshy, I really miss your mustache and I think it's funny how uncomfortable George Grande makes you." And then there are times when Jeff Brantley talks about himself, and all you can do is laugh out loud.
Things were getting dicey heading into last week. I found myself wondering what was going to happen first — Hoagy Time breaking into the W column or somebody not named Isaac Thorn completing a CityBeat Sports Blog.
Fortunately for me, I got great pitching performances from Johnny Cueto, and my odd affinity for Randy Wolf has paid off big time, too.
Today is one of those days where it's hard to imagine any activity being more appropriate than baseball. Hopefully, Reds fans flock to the stadium tonight, and the rest of this homestand.
There's nothing like another fantasy loss acting like a set of hard knuckles across your face. Really wakes you up and shakes up your roster.
Dear Cincinnati Reds:
I recently attended a baseball game between the Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates at Great American Ballpark. I don't usually go to your stadium to watch the games live because walking across Fort Washington Way and looking at the Pepsi Smokestacks in the outfield kind of make me hate being there. I don't mind the Mountain Dew bottles racing each other on the scoreboard or how Mr. Red always loses the Skyline Chili race because he is too tempted by a 3-Way to finish the competition. That guy's lack of dedication kills me every time.
Not a lot of time, and nothing much to say. Sometimes, that's just how it goes. Perhaps I'm too pissed at Chien Ming Wang. I don't know if my fantasy league is punishing pitchers too much or if Mr. Wang has truly been that bad (I suspect he has), but to get -20 points or worse for his first two outings is, as Charles Barkley would say, "Turble."
Do we really care what happens in the American League outside of individual players' impact on our fantasy baseball teams? Probably not. But in the name of being thorough, the following is CityBeat's prediction of the entire softball-style AL. We even looked up a couple guys who play for the Royals, just to be fair.

Originally written on Fox Soccer | Last updated 1/24/13
Manchester United have announced that forward Federico Macheda is to join VfB Stuttgart on loan for the rest of the season. Macheda is the leading goalscorer for United's U21 team this season but his first-team opportunities have been limited, although he made the bench for the FA Cup third-round draw at West Ham. Stuttgart, currently 10th in the Bundesliga, have been looking to acquire a forward and their director of sport Fredi Bobic has been monitoring Macheda. "We have been watching him for a while now," Bobic said recently. "He is one of the players we have on our shortlist." And they have now wrapped up a deal for the 21-year-old, who has previously been on loan at Sampdoria and QPR, without a massive amount of success. Macheda said: "I have followed the Bundesliga and naturally know about Stuttgart. I am glad that I can now play for the club. "For me, it is about getting to know the team and what I can bring, because we have a lot of interesting games in three different...

"What we can glean from this kind of study is that patients we might consider to be at borderline risk, if they have inflammation, we should classify them at a higher risk factor status, she said. "If there is evidence of inflammation, I will start them on a statin."
One major issue noted in the analysis is that a large number of older Americans who are eligible for statin therapy on the basis of LDL cholesterol readings are not taking the medications, Spatz said.
"If we are to adopt the findings of the JUPITER trial, physicians will be challenged to reach that segment of the population that will benefit from statins," she said.
