Do you dream of studying in India? But how to proceed? Find out in this article.
Since many years, India has been attracting worldwide foreign students in large numbers thanks to its prestigious universities and other higher education institutions. Indeed, studying in India has many advantages, namely quality and world class higher education, lower fees compared to many other countries, as well as access to one of the world's most powerful economies. It will also be an opportunity for you to discover new, rich and colorful cultures and lifestyles.
Moreover, having studied in India can be a real asset on your resume once you will set out on the international labor market. So if you wish to be part of this adventure, start by inquiring on the different Indian universities and on enrollment formalities.
Higher education system
The Indian higher education system is very wide, consisting of 677 higher education institutions in total as at 2014. Among these, you have 45 central universities, 318 Central Universities, 185 private universities, as well as 129 other higher education institutions, 51 national importance institutions and 4 regional institutions. Most of these are located in major cities such as the capital city, New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Chennai, etc.
Indian universities generally provide similar study programs to those provided in Europe. Hence, Degree courses have a three years duration (four years in the case of engineering courses) while Masters courses have a two years duration. To obtain a Doctorate (PhD), you will need three additional years of studies. Note that all courses are taught in English.
To be eligible for enrollment in an Indian university, you have to comply with a series of requirements. These vary from one university to another, but in general, you must be the holder of a baccalaureate, that is a higher school certificate. Given that the semester starts either in July or in August, depending on the chosen university, you have to start well in advance.
To enroll in an Indian university, you have to send your application file directly to the university you have chosen, either online or by post mail. The following documents will be required:
- a duly filled application form
- your secondary studies result slips, as well as your baccalaureate or higher school certificate
- result slips in the case of any first diploma or degree if you are enrolling for a Masters
- a cover letter indicating why you have chosen the university and a specific study program
- your resume (written in English and detailing your academic and professional skill)
- fees applied.
Good to know:
Foreign students can also enroll directly through the Direct Admission for Students Abroad (DASA) website which has been specially designed for them by the Indian government. This website allows you to enroll for an Undergraduate program which will be regulated by the National Technology Institute and other organizations.
University fees applies to foreign students are generally higher than those applied to local students although study programs are the same. Thus, you will pay an average of 100 euros as enrollment fees. But you also have to pay additional fees in the following cases:
- around US$ 300 for Undergraduate programs
- around US$ 400 for Postgraduate programs
- around US$ 500 for a PhD.
Note, however, that these fees are paid only once for the whole duration of the program. You will also pay annual fees of US$ 100 to your university or higher education institution.
Student visa
Once your enrollment application has been accepted, you are required to apply for a student visa to be allowed to study in India. Application has to be made on the Indian Visa Online website.
You also have to produce the following:
- your passport (which has to be valid for at least six months following your arrival date in India and throughout your whole stay)
- an admission letter issued by the university where you have enrolled (which you should receive within a month following application in case you have been accepted)
- proof of sufficient funds to support yourself during your stay in the country, except if you have already landed a job and you are able to prove it
- a health certificate proving that you are not suffering from any communicable disease (including HIV, otherwise you will not be authorized into the country).
Other documents may also be requested according to your nationality.
Belgium, Canada, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Germany, among others, have an agreement with India regarding scholarships. We are here talking about the Cultural Exchange Program which allows nationals of these countries to receive a scholarship from India. You can have more information on the Indian Council for Cultural Relations website.

Carnival Passenger Defends Cruisers from Armed Robber
This just in: Carnival, which over the weekend was telling passengers its ships would temporarily replace calls at Limon with stops at Honduras' Roatan, has changed its mind. According to a company spokeswoman, "the thinking at that time was to suspend calls until further notice. However, we are being advised this morning that Limon officials have been in contact with us and are taking a variety of proactive measures to try to ensure there are no further issues related to passenger safety. Therefore, starting with the Carnival Legend's March 8 voyage, we intend to resume calls to Limon."
As we reported, passengers from Carnival Liberty, while on an independently arranged shore excursion, were held up at gunpoint in Limon last week. One of the passengers, a 70-year-old former U.S. Marine, killed one of the assailants in self defense.

HASKELL v. BAILEY. (Circuit Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. October 15, 1894.)
No.66. 1.
It is citizenship, and not the residence, of the party, that confers jurisdiction, and gives the right to sue in the federal courts.
An allegation that the words used are, "from their usual construction and common acceptance, construed as insults, and tend to violence an,d breach of the peace," in the language of the statute (Code Va. 1887. § 2897), makes the declaration one under the statute, though the words used are objectionable at common law. In an action under the statute for procuring the publication of a libel (Code Va. 1887, § 2897), articles printed in a newspaper published ill another state, detailing an alleged interview with defendant, are sible In evidence on testimony of defendant that he used substantially the words set out In the declaration in his conversation with one of the editors of the paper prior to their publication, where he never disavowed their authorship, and was careful to correct some criticisms therein. A finding that defendant caused the publication of libelous articles (Code Va. 1887, § 2897) will be sustained where it appears from his testimony as a witness for plaintiff that he uttered the words set out in the declaration in a conversatiou with one of the editors of the paper prior to their publication.
It is not the place where the libelous article is printed, but the place where it is published and circulated. that makes the words actionable under Code Va. 1881, § 2891, making one who procured their publlcation liable therefor.
In an action for procuring the publication of libelous words (Code Va. 1881, § 2897) in newspaper articles, such articles are admissible In evidence after the use of the actionable words has been established, not only on the question of damages. but in connection with the· use of the words alleged as tending to show that the language was emplo)'ed by defendant prior to the publication.
In Error to the Circuit Court of the United States for the Western District of Virginia. This was an action by John C. Haskell against John M.Bailey for a libel under Code Va. 1887, § 2897, in procuring the publication of alleged libelous words in certain newspaper articles published in the Bristol Courier, a newspaper printed in the state of Tennessee, September 9, 1890, and June 5, 1891. Defendant demurred to the complaint on the ground that the cause of action did not accrue until after the institution of the action, and also on the ground that it did not allege that plaintiff was a resident of the western district of Virginia. A plea to the jurisdiction was also filed, alleging that at the time of issuing the writing plaintiff was· not a citizen of the state of Virginia, but was at the date thereof a citizen of the state of New York, and that defendant was at said date a citizen of the state of South Carolina. The court overruled the demurrer and plea in abatement, and the case proceeded to trial, and a verdict for plaintiff for $1,000 damages was rendered.

'Having noticed the grounds of error in connection with the demurrer, we will now consider t'hefirst grounds of error assigned. It will be observedthllt the plaintiff in error, in stating his assign, ments of error, does not refer to the two causes of error assigned in the record and just.disposedof, but we deem it proper to briefly notice and dispose of them. , The first assignment of error is that the demurrer to the declaration should have beeusustained,.becltuse.in each count there is libel andntbestatutory cause of action for combined a insulting words. We;cannQt conenI' in this position. Thepleader has alleged in· each, count of the, declaration that the words used are, "from their usual construction .and common acceptance, con-

strued as insults, and tend toyiolence and breach of the peace." He has employed in each co'unt oif the declaration the very terms of the statute,. which necessarily makes it a declaration under the statute. It does not follow that, because the words used were objectionable at common law, the action may not be sllstained under the statute. Such' we understand to be, the ruling ,of the supreme court of Virginia upon this statute. Chaffinv. Lynch, 83 Va. 106, 1 S. E. 803. In the second assignment of error it is alleged that the plaintiff was allowed to read in evidence two articles printed in a newspaper published at Bristol,Tenn., and that the court erred in allowing them to be read as evidence. The record discloses that the defendant was placed on, the witness stand, and admitted on nation that he usedsubstanrtially the words set out in thedecla· ration in his conversations with Mr. Slack, one of the editors of. the paper, prior to their publication. It does not clearly appear when he first made use of the' language, but we must conclude that it was before the beginning of the action, as Iioerror is complained of on that ground. It is claimed, however, that he denied the authorship pf the articles referred to in the Bristol paper, yet he never disavowed them, though he frequently saw them, and was careful to CQrrect sottle criticisms. made in them. It must be apparent that there was no occasion for him to correct any statement so made unless he was either the autbor. of the articles or authorized their pUblication. We think it sufficiently appears from the record that prior to these p'l1blicationsthedefendant below had uttered the words set out in the declaration, and that the utterance of the Iil;>elous words instigated the publication of the libelous articles. He had several conversations with the editor of the paper, and after the conversations the publication occurred. Under tbe statute he must be held responsible for having "caused tbe publication by another," otherwise. the object of the statute would be defeated. The acts and conversations were submitted to the jury for it to determine whether he caused the publication, and tbe verdict of the jury was tbat he did. In this connection: it is contended tbat there is no evidence before the jury that the words used were actionable in Tennessee. We think there is nothing in that position. If the publication is actionable under the statutes of Virginia, and the defendant below was the cause of the publication, he must be held responsible for all the consequences of the publication tbat arise out of its circulation in Virginia. It is not the place where thi:! libelous article is printed; but the' place where it is published and circulated that makes the words used actionable. The publications, however, were admissible upon another ground. After the use of the actionable words had been established, the admission of the articles in evidence was proper, not only on the question of damages, but in connection with the use of the words sued on as tending to show that the language was ettlployed' by the defendant prior to the publication., It follows, from what we have said, tbat the judgment of the 'court below must be affirmed, and it is so orderecL '

Better Bash
Shell scripts from hell: ShebangBy
In the beginning was the double pound sign and the exclamation mark – or at least shell scripts always start this way. The inventor, Dennis Ritchie, really didn't know how much pain this was going to cause users.
When a user opens an interactive program, the shell unfolds more magic than you might imagine, especially if you happen to be talking about scripts. Bash is so omnipresent that people tend to forget it is also code that follows certain rules.
Bash has very little to do with accepting key presses. This job is handled by the terminal driver, which feeds a pseudo-terminal either locally at the console or via a detour through SSH or an X client. The pseudo-terminal passes the input on to the interactive shell, which sends a prompt to the terminal beforehand.
The shell waits until it receives an EOL and then interprets the string up to that point according to Bash syntax. If the string is an internal command – such as a while loop, an if condition, or an assignment that uses = – the shell executable can take the necessary action directly. This also applies to the many shell built-ins, such as ulimit or history, or any shell functions you defined yourself.
If none of these cases applies, Bash assumes the user wants to launch an external program, but it first needs to find the program. To do so, it iterates against the content of the PATH environmental variable, which it first separates by the delimiting colons.
Bash opens each element as a path and searches for a file with the execute flag set and with the name of the command input. Recent versions of Bash use a cache for this to avoid the need to search the physical filesystem for the complete path, but this doesn't really change the approach just described.
External Binaries
If the command interpreter finds something, it initially leaves the rest of the job to the kernel by enabling the execve() call in a new process. It passes in the full path, the command name input, and – if command-line arguments exist – the arguments to the process. The kernel opens the file and checks the first 2 bytes. If they reveal that the file is a genuine binary (e.g., in ELF format), the kernel launches it directly. In the meantime, the shell waits for the program to terminate and then proceeds to process the next command.
#! All Change!
However, if the first two bytes are #!, the control flow takes a convoluted path back to linux/fs/binfmt_script.c in the kernel; Listing 1 shows some simplified code. This triggers a complicated mechanism:lines 10 through 19 delimit the #! line with an end marker and remove any white spaces that occur before this. Line 20 eliminates any blanks that directly follow the Shebang, because Unix creator Dennis Ritchie explicitly permitted this behavior in an email back in 1980.
Listing 1: Kernel Parses Shebang
01 static int 02 load_script(struct linux_binprm *bprm, struct pt_regs *regs) { 03 const char *i_arg, *i_name; 04 char *cp; 05 struct file *file; 06 07 if ((bprm->buf[0] != '#') || (bprm->buf[1] != '!')) 08 return -ENOEXEC; 09 10 if ((cp = strchr(bprm->buf, '\n')) == NULL) 11 cp = bprm->buf+BINPRM_BUF_SIZE-1; 12 *cp = '\0'; 13 while (cp > bprm->buf) { 14 cp--; 15 if ((*cp == ' ') || (*cp == '\t')) 16 *cp = '\0'; 17 else 18 break; 19 } 20 for (cp = bprm->buf+2; (*cp == ' ') || (*cp == '\t'); cp++); 21 if (*cp == '\0') 22 return -ENOEXEC; /* No interpreter name found */ 23 i_name = cp; 24 i_arg = NULL; 25 for ( ; *cp && (*cp != ' ') && (*cp != '\t'); cp++); 26 while ((*cp == ' ') || (*cp == '\t')) 27 *cp++ = '\0'; 28 if (*cp) 29 i_arg = cp; 30 [...] 31 }
If trimming in line 21 fails to create a meaningful string, there is no interpreter name and the function reports an error in line 22. If this is not the case, the interpreter name is now available in i_name; this is typically /bin/sh. Lines 24 through 29 then take precisely one argument from the remaining line – if it exists – and store it in i_arg. The kernel ignores the rest of the first line.
Finally, the function calls itself recursively within the kernel using the command interpreter it extracted and reappends the original command name and the arguments. For example, if /tmp/runme contains an initial line of #!/foo/bar --myarg, PATH=/tmp is true, and if the user types runme alpha beta, the kernel actually calls execve("/foo/bar", "bar", "--myarg", "/tmp/runme", "alpha", "beta"). But if the kernel fails to determine an interpreter by following this procedure, Bash takes control of the execution, assumes that the file contains valid shell code, opens the file, and interprets its content.
You might be wondering why the kernel takes this roundabout approach. Ritchie's response to this was that it allows shell scripts to be launched by exec() calls, that the process display and accounting show more intuitive names, and – this might surprise you – that you can assign set UID flags to shell scripts, too.
Unfortunately, this idea caused administrators no end of security worries. If a Unix user links to a set UID script that starts with #!/bin/sh, and cunningly names the link -i, the resulting call is /bin/sh -i, which gives the user a very convenient, interactive root shell. This explains why Linux dumps the privileges that result from additional flags in the extra Shebang loop.
At the same time, there is also an attack vector for a race condition in which the file changes between parsing and execution. All told, this mechanism – no matter how well-meant it was on Ritchie's part – has mainly caused confusion. In a survey, Sven Mascheck investigated this aspect in 48 Unix derivatives, finding very little common ground, but a number of vulnerabilities.

Oh. My bad. Thought there was an interview lined up. I need to switch to decaf.
Jacksonville is a mess.
I feel it is one of my best slaps at that pathetic organization.
Moses sure used it to his advantage. The Cowboys could use a bit of divine intervention, too.
That is hilarious Hos.
We are too at this point. Who knows what's going on.
the people who need to
I do.
Hostile - is it okay if I repost that on another site that I am a regular at? That is golden.
Yes sir, I hope they laugh.
Never good to have a staff without Nutt.
Relax guys, the Jacksonville rumors were just thrown out there, Rod is at VR and I am sure he is going to sign a contract.
Hos, that made for some good reading, thanks! The memory lane stroll was good as well, seeing the name of some of the former posters again, and all.
No job in Jax other than head coach beats any position in Dallas. We groom coordinators and head coaches, despite our failures on the field. Jacksonville? Make some money and head back to college. I think JJ will get his man.
Oh yeah, well, I am a fan so I should be informed.
I hope someone does because my head hurts thinking about it.
I think that was in the plans.
You uncomfortable yet?

The National Prep showcase featured the some of the nation's premier prep schools. What made this event so enjoyable is that it had a rare combination of great teams, talented individuals and some of the best coaching at the prep school level. The well-run event, put on by by Adam Finklelstein who publishes the "New England Recruiting Report," was set up in a single game format where schools would play anywhere from one to three games against a different opponent. There were many outstanding performances and surprises as many college coaches attended this event.
Standout Players
1 .Rashanti Harris, PF, (6-foot-8, 240 pounds)
The Patterson School (N.C.)
No one played with more intensity. Harris featured a strong work ethic and played every possession like it was his last. He is a powerful, tough, athletic power forward who dominates the paint with his rebounding at both ends of the floor. On the defensive glass, he puts his body on people then secures the ball with two hands looking for the the outlet pass. Offensively he attacks the backboard as if every shot is off and attempts to put-back misses. His hands are extremely strong so as he powers the ball back up to the rim, he carries opponents with him and scores through the contact. On one play, Harris took an offensive rebound and went up with one step and dunked it over a defender his size. That just shows how strong and powerful he is. Because his tenacious style of play sends him to the free throw line often, he must make an improvement with his free throw percentage. He has a jumper that is solid from 15 feet and will drive the ball going to his right from there as well. At Georgia State, he should be a career double-double(points-rebounds) player.
2.Avery Bradley, SG, (6-3, 180)
Findlay Prep (Nev.)
Bradley has all the tools and instincts to be a big-time scorer. His wiry, strong, athletic frame allows him to finish on the break.This ultra-competitive scoring guard can produce in transition or in the half court. He pushes the ball in transition with good straight line speed as he attacks the rim or pulls-up on a dime for his consistent jumper from 17-19 feet. He can knock down the 3-point shot with strong elevation and a beautiful release. When the defense closes out on his 3-point shot, he utilizes his shot fake, dribble, pull-up to perfection or will go all the way and finish at the rim. Bradley possesses a quick first step and blows past his defenders and demonstrates good body control on his pull-up jumper. He shows great instincts of taking what the defense gives him and scoring, but not forcing the issue. All of his mid-range jumpers were either off the dribble or catch-and-shoot. Defensively he guards the ball well using his lateral quickness to to effectively level off his opponent. Bradley is a big-time scorer who makes his team win. That's a combination they're going to love in Austin, Texas.
3. Cory Joseph, PG/G, (6-3, 180)
Findlay Prep (Nev.)
This high-level scoring point can do it all. He scores when needed, dishes out passes that lead to baskets and rebounds from the perimeter on the defensive end. His range on his jumper is well out to 22 feet with accuracy. Joseph makes open or contested 3's consistently. His long-range shot displays a great economy of motion where there is very little wasted effort when he prepares and releases his jumper. In transition, he has the confidence and ability to stop behind the arc and knock it down or take it all the way to the rim with a strong finish. From his dribble penetration Joseph sees the assist on his way to the basket and delivers the ball where his teammates can easily catch it and score. He uses his excellent athletic ability and good size to be a staunch defender. Joseph is slowly converting his game from a scoring guard to a scoring point guard as he creates and distributes effectively for his teammates.
4.Mike Marra, SG, (6-5, 190)
Northfield Mount Hermon (Mass.)
A pure shooting guard
with NBA range who will stretch out defenses. Marra has great size and has the ability to
look over defenders while focusing on his target from deep. He demonstrates the ability to break open a game with his 3-point shooting as he will shoot it often and with confidence in transition or the half court. When you watch his jumper, you see how he gets good elevation from his lower body and finishes with a high release and freezes on his follow through. When his teammates penetrate he spots up to a passing lane along the 3-point arc. Using multiple screens is another way in which Marra gets his 3s. With such a lethal shot, he needs to learn to use his shot fake more into a dribble pull-up. Opponents who are trying to stop him must have two simple rules -- never leave him and make him dribble to a shot. He went 9-for-17 from 3-point range (53 percent) and that is simply remarkable. Louisville got itself a big-time shooter.
5.Vincent Council, PG/G (6-2, 180)
The Paterson School (N.C.)
Council emerged as a point guard who stood among a group of talented players. He takes an outlet pass and pushes the ball up the floor with speed and vision. In the transition game, he advances the ball with speed dribbles to the middle of the floor or uses the throw-ahead pass to put pressure on the defense. He can go all the way to the rim in transition and score as well as find the open man, which makes him very valuable. With his dribble penetration to the basket, he uses a clever change of pace dribble to go by his defender while reading the help defense and finds the open man. In the half court, he can set up the offense and run the show for the coach and deliver the ball at the right time to his teammates. Council scores by making 3s when left open and exhibits a strong middle game as he possesses a dribble, pull-up jumper or a floater with good body control in the lane. He does an outstanding job of utilizing both of those middle game shots in a moment's notice during the game. Defensively, he can extend the pick-up point for his team with his speed and lateral quickness.
Surprise players
Dave Johnson, 5-9, PG
2009, Jackson, N.J.
Johnson, though small, makes up for any height that he gives up t the opposition by playing with a high level of effort and intensity. His high-octane style of plays serves as the ignition for his team's offense. Johnson has very good quickness and ball-handling skills, which he uses to penetrate into the lane, placing an immense amount of pressure on opposing defenses. His ability to craftily changes speeds off the dribble serves to keep defenders off balance as well in addition to enhancing his already good quickness. Johnson also possesses outstanding vision and passing skills, which he uses especially well off penetration, when he spots open interior players for easy lay-ins resulting from Johnson's drop-off passes in the paint. Johnson will make jumpers on the perimeter if left unattended, but he needs to improve his consistency from the outside. He has to continue to improve his decision-making with the ball in his hands as he has a tendency to over-penetrate and get himself into trouble amongst the trees inside. Johnson also leaves his feet to make passes and sometimes gets caught with no options which results in a turnover. Johnson will also have to add strength to his very thin frame to battle against teams that will look to take advantage of his lack of height.
Amath Mbaye, 6-7 SF
2009, Paris, France
Mbaye has very good touch and accuracy from the perimeter, easily connecting on jumpers with range that extends out to the 3-point line. He presents somewhat of a match-up problem due to his offensive versatility due to the fact that when guarded by smaller defender, he can shoot over them from the perimeter. He also has decent quickness and a nice first step, which allows him to take the ball to the bucket when teams try to guard him with a bigger, slower player. At this point, teams will have more success running Mbaye off the 3-point line and force him to put in on the floor, as he sometimes moves his feet before he puts the ball on the ground and travels. Mbaye also has a tendency to drive into traffic in the paint and will need to add a mid-range pull-up to his game, a tool that he should have major success with given his height and his good shooting stroke. Mbaye has a healthy mean streak which he exhibits throughout games, particularly on the defensive end when he guards a post player, constantly battling that opposing player and stopping him from establishing prime post positioning. Mbaye will become an even better defender once he becomes stronger.
Youssoupha Mbao, 7-2 C
2009, Dakar, Senegal
Mbao has a thin, wiry body, which he will have to improve on with added muscle and strength as he continues to develop for the next level. He possesses very good athleticism and dexterity, which allows him to change ends very well and become a serious factor in the fast-break game. Mbao has good length and blocks shots very well, especially as an on-ball defender. His ability to run the floor comes in very handy when he initiates a number of run-outs with his shot-blocking prowess. Mbao rebounds the ball relatively well on both ends, though having more strength and muscle will make him a great rebounder. He has a tendency to drift out on the perimeter at times, which serves to negate his impressive height and good athleticism, thus taking him out of position for easy scores close to the rim and rebounding. When he does get a rebound on the offensive end, he does a good job of using his length and relatively quick leaping ability to power up in traffic for finishes above the rim. Mbao's lack of strength causes him to sometimes get walked up the lane by stronger post defenders, forcing Mbao to operate from the mid-post. To his credit, he has solid foot-work and a nice turn-and-face move to drive to the bucket when he gets the ball in the mid-post area of the floor. Mbao has a tendency to let his emotions get the best of him during close games, causing his teammates to have to switch their focus from winning games to making sure that Mbao remains engages. He will have to alleviate this tendency for the next level as he will face tough competition of a daily basis in practice.
Danny Nieman, 6-3 PG
Post-Grad, Concord, N.C.
Nieman does not have elite quickness as a point guard, but he somehow finds a way to constantly disrupt opposing defenses by getting into the paint. When Nieman does put the ball on the floor, he looks almost exclusively to go right. Even if he starts out going left, he will ultimately come back to his right hand on his forays to the rim. Nieman will have to clean up the predictability in his game as college team will sit on his right hand and render his dribble-drive game ineffective. Nieman, if left unguarded on the perimeter, will connect on jumpers, but he favors to get into the paint or shoot jump shots off the dribble in the mid-range area of the floor. Nieman serves as the vocal leader of his team, consistently urging his teammates on, especially when his team suffers from lapses throughout the game. Nieman has good size and strength for a point guard, which he uses on both ends of the court to nullify his lack of lateral quickness. With his lack of quickness and good size, Nieman will benefit immensely from learning how to use his body and get defenders on his hip, then creating the separation that he needs with contact as opposed to blowing by defenders.
Maxie Esho, 6-7 PF
2010, Upper Marlboro, Md.
Esho, while not nearly a finished product, has an incredible amount of upside and room for development. His long frame has the capacity to add a significant amount of muscle, which will make him even stronger as he matures. Esho runs the floor well and can finish off the break very effectively and above the rim, given his length, athleticism, and good leaping ability. Esho also handles the ball well and when guarded by a bigger, slower opponents, Esho will put the ball on the floor on his way to the rim and will finish with authority, even in half-court sets. He does a very good job of using his length, hops, and big hands to grab rebounds in traffic, both in as well as out of his area. Esho's ball-handling-skills allow him to play as a combo-forward or face-up 4-man at this point of his career. He will have to continue to add strength to his frame, which will make him a better finisher in traffic when he cannot dunk the ball. Esho will also benefit from adding range and consistency to his perimeter jumper. With his impressive length, Esho should alter/block more shots than he did during these games.
• D.J. Richardson (Findlay Prep, Nev.) continues to improve. He had a very good summer for his AAU team (Illinois Warriors) and showed why he will be an immediate factor for Illinois next season. He shoots the 3 only when open, but has a terrific dribble, pull-up that is money from 15-17 feet. He has a quick first step to the basket and can get to the rim and score. What makes him really special on the offensive end is his ability to find the open teammate from his dribble penetration. Defensively, he tries to contest his opponents' jumpers while keeping his man out of the lane.
• This event had 18 high-level teams that all have very talented players. After watching three days of basketball (21 games in all), it became apparent how poorly the free throw shooting was for young players. There were a total of 681 free throws attempted and only 420 were made. That's just 62 percent. Players need to spend more time before or after practice working on this basic skill and coaches need to emphasize it without going overboard as well.
• One should look no further than 6-10 C Kevin Laue (Pleasanton, Calif./Fork Union Military Academy), a post-grad prospect, when in need of a major inspiration boost. Laue's left arm, due to a complication at birth stops approximately one inch below his elbow, but make no mistake about it, Laue ranks as a serious interior prospect that could instantly help a number of low-major Division I programs. Laue has very lively legs, which allows him to change ends very well in transition. Laue has very quick leaping ability and good length which makes him a threat for tip-ins and put-backs on the offensive boards. He also does a very good job of contesting shots and battling opposing post players for position. Laue takes up space and plays very good position defense in the post.
• SG Laurent Rivard (Saint-Bruno, Quebec, Canada/Northfield Mount Hermon) has a very effective stroke, connecting with great regularity from well beyond 3-point land. He does a good job of passing the ball and has the versatility to initiate the offense as well as knock down shots. Rivard ranked as one of the better shooters throughout the event.
• G/F Martino Brock (Memphis, Tenn./Maine Central Institute) has good quickness which makes him an offensive force off the dribble. Brock will have to improve the accuracy and the rotation on his perimeter shot, but he puts pressure on defenses with his solid middle game. Brock also does a good job when he focuses on defense, but he needs to keep his attention on defending for the entire game.
• PF/C Hassan Whiteside (Gastonia, N.C./Patterson School) has a very nice skill-set, with the ability to score in the paint as well as step away for jump shots. He needs to get stronger to become a better scorer with his back to the basket, but he runs very well and has good length, which makes him a very attractive post prospect.
• SG Freddie Riley (Ocala, Fla./Hargrave Military Academy) makes incredibly difficult, contested shots at a very high rate, due to his quick first-step and relatively good athleticism. However, he has to alleviate his tendency to take those difficult shots at a high rate, which would serve to take away some of the streakiness in his game.
• PF Thomas Robinson (Washington, D.C./Brewster Academy) struggled to demonstrate his diverse offensive game and convert shots on the offensive end. He also battled foul-trouble throughout game action, but to his credit, Robinson continued to display his impressive rebounding skills and ferocious tenacity to control the glass on both ends.
• C Rashad Wright (Agawam, Mass./South Kent School) did a very effective of using his size and length to control the glass when he saw game action. He did a very good job of contesting shots when he played. Wright has good athleticism and changes ends very well. He just needs to continue to remain focused and engaged whenever he steps on the court and keep his effort level consistent.

CHARLES ATLAS Joints Arrayby Patricia Milder
What's in an elbow? The way it moves; the stretching of flesh over bones, then its gathering in tight wrinkles mid-limb. A knee: that complex, delicate system of ligaments that makes walking, running, dancing possible. But these images are non-specific—what of your own elbow? Your sister's knee? Have you ever really looked at the wrist of someone you admire? I once noticed the way a man I love held a glass—his hand hinging with unconscious flourish—and it made me love him more.
People show themselves through their bodies as much as their minds: if you pay attention, you can see the world through a joint. Those who make their bodies into art are creating at the intersection of what is physically innate, tragically accidental, and tirelessly practiced. Seeing the body this way—as perfectly imperfect raw material—is a postmodern practice that came about in part from Anna Halprin, when she taught workshops to future Judson founders and other amazing people on her outdoor deck in Marin county in the 1960s and '70s. When I visited her there last fall, the now 91-year-old, whose own joints remain a supple complement to her bright and impassioned mind, said she couldn't even watch most of today's dancers. They mask their instrument, themselves in their bodies, with slick technical training that makes the art that interests her impossible—the physical equivalent of commercial production techniques.
Merce Cunningham spent time in Halprin's backyard workshops during the early years. I've seen videos of him leaping across the deck as a young man: already brilliant, seemingly fully formed, an unmistakable individual. Where Halprin and the postmoderns were interested in everyday movements as a way to reject stylized, expressive modernism, Cunningham famously embraced chance in order to move away from the same problem. He developed a specific strain of abstraction in dance that always seemed to point to something more. He knew innately what was in an elbow; that everything was already there. His work proved one needn't pile on storylines and dramatic expressions of humanity when working with the most basic and personal of materials, the body.
From the beginning, Cunningham was interested in how the body related to technology, including computer programs for creating and recording dances. He pioneered, with the filmmaker Charles Atlas, media-dance, which is dance specifically for the camera. Before his time as the Cunningham company's filmmaker-in-residence (1978 – 1983), when he made 10 dance films, Atlas was an assistant stage manager for the company, and was already filming Cunningham in little experimental movement studies during breaks from rehearsal. Since then, Atlas has shown video and performance works in museums and galleries all over the world, mostly in collaboration with choreographers and performers. To name just a few: Yvonne Rainer, Marina Abramović, Michael Clark, Douglas Dunn, John Kelly, and Leigh Bowery.
Atlas's current show, Joints Array, on view in the lobby gallery of the New Museum, is made up of his first Cunningham experiments from the early 1970s, which were shot on Super 8 color film. He revisited these images in 2009 after the choreographer's death, creating a four-channel installation called "Joints 4tet for Ensemble"(2010), which was on view at Vilma Gold Gallery in London in April. The piece on view at the New Museum is an extended version of this original. Differently sized outdated box monitors show film-transferred-to-video loops of Cunningham that create an incredibly beautiful portrait of an artist and a man. The videos show, alternately, close up images of a wrist, knee, ankle, and elbow.
Cunningham is not dancing in the films, but moving slightly, as if exploring in each instant the possibilities and the complexities of the joint in focus. Each of the monitors is set up at the top of its own individual pole, rooted in the floor along the perimeter of either one of the two back walls of the rectangular gallery space. Different videos play on the monitors at alternating times; the result is far from an overwhelming bombardment of moving images, as might be expected from so many videos playing simultaneously. Instead, the work feels quite intimate, capturing the essence of Cunningham, while skipping extraneous outlining and obvious description. There is also a rich and nostalgic texture to the visual information that comes from the film itself and the knobby, boxy black containers that house it.
At the end of each short clip, and before the next one starts, Atlas left several frames of lead tape, a brightly dated exposure of the technology itself. This technology forms a third personified character in the space, conversing in a timeless loop with Cunningham's joints and Atlas's ability to capture what may be abstract in form, but never in nature. Rounding out the experience are old, unpublished ambient noise recordings by John Cage that play in a loop in the gallery. You can hear the sound of the street, a car driving by, a faint honk, or the rustle of leaves meeting up with different, random points in the films. Atlas has confessed that when he was with the Cunningham company, he balked at the chance method; here, as in much of his recent video and performance work, he has, in a way, become more of a Cageian. The structure of Joints Array contains all of the right ingredients, but it's the way he lets it be just a little bit wild in just the right way that turns a large formal display of video recordings of body parts into a living thing.

Imogen opened a new browser window. The cat jumped onto her lap and settled into a warm loop. She had less than four minutes until Steve finished his exercises (if you could call them that) and came in from the yard. With swift keystrokes, she brought up the first profile, then the second, toggling between tabs to absorb the afternoons updates. She clicked through three new photographs, feeling her nervous system lift and settle as each image slid into place. The last picture showed the other couples baby, scrunching its red face.

I'd like to hear what men think. I don't mean to be disrespectful or insulting to anyone in asking this...I know it is a blunt question...but I'd like an honest answer.
So...men...when you are looking for a wife, what age range are you looking for? I'm 27, and am worried that it's too late for me...I'm only asking because I've been told many times that I'm too old to find a decent guy...and I have overheard men talk...and all the ones I know have a wife/serious girlfriend that is younger...most of the men I know that are 27 and older are already married. Also, I've noticed that women that get married at an "older" age, like 30..have been in a relationship with the guy for a while.
Also, if a woman has never been in any sort of romantic relationship with a man before, would you question what is wrong with her? Because people ask me that quite a bit.
I'm not even sure if I would bother getting married, but now am not sure I have that option otherwise, anyway.
Most Helpful Guy
I find this question odd, I really do. Maybe it's cultural. Sure a lot of people settle down very quickly, then again, a lot of people don't. A lot of my friends are in their late 20s, of both sexes, and many aren't married, or are single, many even still live at home (a capital offence in the US I believe!). There's just such myriad circumstances, as many tied down as there isn't, that I just don't understand why this question is posed. Think about it, if 40% of the 10,000s of the eligible males in your area are single, and 60% are tired down, that still leaves a hell of a lot single. This notion that there must be wrong with them, in the sense that they're nasty, ugly or whatever, is also fallacious. As I say, there's so many circumstances. One friend I know, a perfectly nice chap, recently split up with his partner of 4 years. I think that often the plebeian or provincial types are the ones who settle down quickly. Maybe they don't have much else to look forward to. Small town syndrome?
What are men looking for agewise? Well I can't speak for all men, but of course, younger women are physically more attractive, tighter bodies and such. Having said that, there are lots of facets to attractiveness, including maturity and insight which often comes with age. So, I'm at least willing to date up to my age and a little older.
"Also, if a woman has never been in any sort of romantic relationship with a man before, would you question what is wrong with her?"
Well it's certainly unusual but I wouldn't deem her some sort of freak. I'd just be curious. I'm just open minded generally though, and I don't necessarily exclude people just because they have lived a non conventional life.00|00|0
Thanks very much for your response : )...I think you may find the question a bit odd...because yes, it is cultural.
Do you live in a small town? I think this is a city to small town thing rather than a country to country thing. However is this is really a country thing, I'm sure there's many men here who would appreciate a pretty, quirky American girl ;)
Well...I don't live in a small town...I'm from Detroit...not the biggest or best city in America...but it's getting nicer every year. I actually really like big cities and would not be able to live in a small town ever...

From the days of old when embroidery was new to mankind it has been the desire of those who embroider to use lettering or symbols to spell out something. It may be as simple as someone's initials, or their full name embroidered on a piece of clothing, and sometimes the ubiquitous writing out of a grandson's first name on his first baseball hat. The point is that the embroidering of letters or words is often vital to those who embroider.
Embroidery Machines Have Built-in Fonts
Thus one of the eternal joys of having an embroidery machine is that the making of letters whether to write out a message or simply affix initials is often as simple as picking out the letters you desire out of the built-in-fonts on your own machine found on your control panel. Depending on the sophistication of your machine, you can ask the machine to rotate them, resize them, or make many of other editing functions.
The particular embroidery frame size will of course delineate the exact amount of words or letters that you will be allowed to embroider all at once. Again, depending on your particular embroidery machine, you will either be able to work multiple lines, or be limited to working on only one at a time.
Digitized Fonts
Online Internet digitized fonts are easily available, sometimes free even or at least at a realistic rate, on a ton of sites such as Etsy. What is really nice about these digitized fonts is that they will go beyond the letters of the alphabet, but also allow you to have some unique symbols, punctuation, as well as numbers. The fact that they are all created of the same font means that you will be able to merge them easily and thus stitch them out perfectly.
Depending again on the sophistry of your machine, you may be able to combine everything directly onto the machine. Should you not have that facility, then you will be able to utilize embroidery software to merge them as you like, and finally save it all in one file to utilize for stitching.
Computer Fonts
The same software embroidery programs may also allow you to actually convert computer fonts into your own embroidery designs. If you are seeking some specialized fonts, do not overlook this possibility.
Manual Designs and Combinations
Granted there are some who balk at having to purchase embroidery software only to combine designs and letters in even well-spaced out positions for embroidery. Should you be one of the lucky people who have an eye for this, you will find that it is indeed possible with the use of grids. Take care to embroider only one letter at a time making this a wearisome and tricky job, but as in all difficult and tedious jobs, the rewards are certainly self-satisfying! Part of having to do one letter at a time is that your embroidery machine will make it necessary to either move your hoop or even have to re-hoop it.

I know it's not an original concept, but I'm going to do a semi-regular series of videos on my personal channel of me reading Creepyastas. I did a couple a while back, and the first one I did got a fairly positive reaction. I'm just posting this to ask whether anyone wants a specific Pasta read. If you want to know what the channel's name is, just check out my User Page, since I don't want to seem like I'm trying to push my shit on y'all (which I am).

why are my hips so wide? does it mean im curvy or im overweight? im 5'4" and 127lbs

I don't think they're wide, but perhaps they're wide for your age. If that's the case, it just means that you went through puberty a bit earlier than your peers.00|00|0

First off, your hips aren't wide. Obviously. Second body shape is defined by genetics. You can work out as much as you want and diet your little heart out but you will never change the basic shape of your body44|00|0
do you know what shape i have? i was never able to tell?
- Show AllShow Less
@BuchitaBuchys no ma'am. I have a ruler shape. I actually have curves, I just have to stand sideways to see them. Her waist is definitely smaller than her hips which takes away both of those options. She has better curves than I do. And she is in no way an apple. You kind of have to be a little more round for that
Very little difference though. It's not enough to have some difference, it's a noticeable amount, which she doesn't really have that. That's not saying she nor you don't have curves, but this is very minimal.
White women generally have very skewed definitions of curvy.

Are you doing business in Brazil? Do you want to find a reliable business lawyer to handle your dispute or litigation matters in Brazil? Perhaps you have read about Brazil's top lawyer – Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho and how he has been helping businesses and corporations with their legal issues.You can also look for online referrals or contact a referral agency for a list of lawyers that provide good services to clients. Unlike other methods of searching for, or researching, lawyers that may not disclose underlying problems, such as checking if any reports were filed against lawyer or law firm, this method can help focus on what it would likely be like to work with the individual lawyer.
This is not a foolproof lawyer research method that will uncover every potential dilemma, but it will help highlight issues with specific attorneys, such as whether they have failed to keep in contact with clients, failed to meet timely filing deadlines, or overcharged clients. Check with the jurisdiction entity that is responsible for monitoring attorneys, such as the jurisdiction bar association or Disciplinary Board. Inquire if there have been any reports or complaints filed against the attorney.
You can have a better idea of whether the attorney is reliable and someone whom you can feel comfortable having as your legal representative. Before your first meeting with a potential lawyer, prepare a list of issues you would like to discuss with the lawyer. For starters, you need to ensure that the lawyer is licensed in your region.Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho has become one of the most respected organization litigation and corporate law attorneys in Brazil. Ricardo Tosto has also built a reputation for effectively addressing legal situations ranging from new organization formation to complex corporate litigation.Simply because of his litigation years of experience, businesses and individuals often seek his help when dealing with legal conflicts. Ricardo Tosto works for early resolution and is always ready to negotiate, but he is also prepared and able to take cases to courts id necessary.

In the bitter final days of the campaign, "hope" and "change" have made a comeback - at least in President Barack Obama's closing argument.
As he criss-crosses the Midwestern battlegrounds in his shirt sleeves, Obama is firing up supporters with the rallying cry of his 2008 campaign that has not been a major theme of his stump speech for months.
Republicans are "betting on cynicism", Obama told a crowd in Mentor, Ohio, on Saturday, where he declared "my bet is on hope". The word "change" appeared in his morning speech almost two dozen times.
Obama's message is hitting home with his audience as his rhetorical arc bends back to its origins. "We know what change is," he said on Saturday, his voice hoarse as a crowd in a high school gym thundered its applause. "We know what the future requires."
Since they ushered Obama into office, hope and change have taken a beating. Hard economic times, intransigence in Washington and acrimony made it easy to mock the promises of 2008.
"How's that hopey-changey stuff workin' out for ya?" former vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin asked two years after her GOP ticket lost.
"Keep the change" bumper stickers proliferated.
Obama resurrected the idea in his re-election kick-off, saying nothing was more powerful than voices calling for change, but then he set about preaching a workman-like message.
He railed against Republican ideals. He touted specific accomplishments, tailoring speeches for targeted demographics.
But even before Mitt Romney began talking about the "big change" he would bring to Washington, Obama and his speechwriters were planning to return to the overarching message.
When he did, the nature of change had clearly changed a bit, defined now partly by what Romney says and does. Cutting taxes for the wealthy, withholding policy details and siding with the right wing of the party don't constitute change, Obama says.
"In this campaign, he's tried as hard as he can to repackage these bad ideas and offer them up as change," Obama said of Romney on Saturday. "Now suddenly he's the candidate of change. But we know what change looks like, and what he's trying to sell, that ain't it."
Since he unveiled his closing argument on Thursday, the reviews have been mixed.
"There's a lot of 'hope and change' back in his remarks that don't acknowledge the reality of how he's governed the past four years," said Kristen Kukowski, of the Republican National Committee. "Basically, after four years, they are just words."
Longtime supporters love it, though.
"Ohio, my bet is on you," said Mary Richardson, a retiree and Obama volunteer who attended the rally in Mentor. "My bet is on hope. My bet is on the decency and goodness of the American people, and my fight is for you."
Romney's renewed optimism
From an airport runway on a cold New Hampshire morning, Mitt Romney faced 2,000 supporters and delivered the same speech he had given the day before - three times on the day before, actually.
Romney told his supporters on Saturday: "I won't just represent one party, I'll represent one nation."
[1]His stump speech is a carefully crafted 15 minutes that opens a window into campaign strategy. For the Republican nominee, it is an evolving tool that has shifted sharply in recent weeks to appeal to the political centre.
Let there be no doubt that Romney, who once described himself as "severely conservative", has been aggressively courting the narrow slice of undecided voters — largely women and moderates — who have yet to settle on a candidate.
There has been a renewed energy to Romney's rallies: a crackling sense of excitement, and genuine optimism that the Republican candidate could actually defeat Barack Obama. But when Romney retreats to his campaign plane with his aides and his wife, Ann, there is now a hint of something else: relief.
This has been a long journey for Romney and his team, a corps of aides that first came together for Romney's gubernatorial run in 2002 and expanded in 2006 as he planned his first run for president. At first they travelled commercially with the candidate; these days some have essentially moved onto the campaign plane, a second home of sorts as they shuttle from hotel to hotel.
On Saturday, as Romney flew from New Hampshire to Iowa, there were new additions to the flight manifest: half a dozen top aides who escaped his Boston headquarters to spend the final days with Romney on the road.
Among the newcomers were Mike Leavitt, the head of Romney's transition team, a job he was chosen for in part because of his "Zen effect" on the candidate and his team.
For months, Romney has spent his flights working on his iPad, scrolling through policy briefings, revising his speeches and jotting his thoughts in a campaign journal. But those tasks are mostly complete.
Rejoining her husband on the campaign trail after her last solo events on Friday, Ann Romney strolled down the aisle on Saturday offering pies to Secret Service agents and the media.
The grandmother of 18, who has spoken openly about her struggles with multiple sclerosis, looked refreshed despite the couple's 1am arrival in New Hampshire. She had limped on the short walk from the plane to the motorcade with her husband and sounded a touch wistful as she talked about her emotional last speech in which she said she had heard the "voices and passion of the people out there that are really hurting".
But there was also that note of relief. "It's been long. It's been a long road," Ann said.

An impact crater on a distant planet: the scene of ancient hostilities. This is the eerie setting for a manga-influenced, comic strip drama where battle is stylised, almost ritualistic. And yet there is love.
Since earliest times, March (Marzo) has been the month of war as the winter fades and spring signals a return to the fray. Protagonists enter the apocalyptic field, twitching and spinning as if in fast-forward mode. Theres a samurai warrior, alien challengers, spirits from the past and something more menacing.
Straddling physical theatre and contemporary dance, Marzo has been developed with a wholly original performance style, the uncanny choreography complemented by a discordant, electronic soundtrack and minimal narrative. From Italy, Dewey Dells founders Agata, Demetrio and Teodora Castellucci and Eugenio Resta have worked in collaboration with Japanese director Kuro Tanino and visual artist Yuichi Yokoyama, whose costumed figures come straight from a graphic novel.

Priyanka Chopra attended the Star Guild Awards on Sunday (January 13) where she picked up another 'Best Actress' award for 'Mary Kom'.
The actress wore a fluorescent orange mesh Maticevski Resort 2015 strapless gown featuring a fitted bodice and a dramatic high-low skirt with tuck details at front and side.
The impactful piece was styled with a rose-gold Mawi necklace and matching glitter Louboutins with her hair swept up into a bouffant ponytail.
This is a much bolder look from Priyanka – a much stronger and fiercer step outside her comfort zone.
I would've perhaps lost the necklace, but everything else works for me.
You may remember that Lily Collins gave this dress its red carpet debut late last year.

I am no longer feeling quite so helpless and think that there are some things I can do, at least in my own circles at work and home. I can change my own behaviour and take ownership of my own so called unconscious bias and make sure that this is not interfering with my decisions or stopping me from realising that most of the difference that I fear or perceive in others turns out to be an illusion once I allow myself to work with and get to know them.
The media is on fire with questions about whether Nicki Minaj went "too far" with the artwork for her next single, Anaconda... Amazingly, what nobody is discussing is the wider issues of the historical roots, cultural resonance and contemporary implications of a mass circulated image that arguably reduces black women to just "big butts" and little more.
It has long been known that positive interaction with members of other groups (ethnic, religious and so on) promotes more positive attitudes to others. Why, then, is it sometimes claimed that diversity poses a challenge to modern society, makes people withdraw from interaction, makes us less trusting of one another?
A six-year-old boy on his first visit to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, could not muster the courage to look at the face of the giant-sized statue of the man who abolished slavery in America. Steven Spielberg's gaze stopped at the hands of Abraham Lincoln. He was quite shaken by the experience.

|[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-326) The lowest level map-reduce APIs should be byte oriented
|Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:43:28 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-326?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12829801#action_12829801 ] Owen O'Malley commented on MAPREDUCE-326: ----------------------------------------- I agree with Todd. I don't think taking a performance hit in Java by adding memory copies is acceptable. I think that keeping keys and values separate is useful for a couple of reasons: 1. keys compress better separately than intermixed with values (not that we do that currently...) 2. combining the keys and values will effectively block using memcmp for the sort (and it is pretty ugly to consider serializing the "key" fields differently that the "value" fields) 3. We could support more flexible memory management if the values can be distinguished from the keys. 4. Since Sequence Files and T Files contain both Keys and Values, they would need to be wrapped together to present them as a single object. I don't see what this abstraction is buying you over using ByteBuffer and a Serializer that knows how to use it. You could define your Mapper and/or Reducer any way you want and deserialization would be completely in the application's hands. Very much like Google's MapReduce. > The lowest level map-reduce APIs should be byte oriented > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-326 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-326 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: eric baldeschwieler > > As discussed here: > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1986#action_12551237 > The templates, serializers and other complexities that allow map-reduce to use arbitrary types complicate the design and lead to lots of object creates and other overhead that a byte oriented design would not suffer. I believe the lowest level implementation of hadoop map-reduce should have byte string oriented APIs (for keys and values). This API would be more performant, simpler and more easily cross language. > The existing API could be maintained as a thin layer on top of the leaner API. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
