NO I am not offering any quick get rich scheme.

This is an offer to make some  extra pocket money while attending school.


What you have to do is to put up posters at various locations around campus.  
These posters are for an Investment Challenge,  like the AT&T,  Wall Street 
Investment Challenge.  These posters do carry applications for the contest.
Ocassionally you will have to refill the posters if the applications run out.
The catch is to make sure you put up the posters where they are highly visible.


You get four dollars for every entry that went in from your school.  The amount of money you make,  depends on the number of entries that go in from your school

If you happen to be in a big school,  where there is a possibility of more than a 100 entries,  you could make $400.  That is quite a bit for about 5-6 hours of work.


Interested,  get in touch with me

On not an entirely unrelated thread here, I wonder if the International Hockey
federation would consider switching back to natural grass fields as a venue.
I think the current trend in sports, like american football, is to 
use natural grass because it is much safer- number of injuries to players
is far less. I know that that the OSU stadium has switched to natural grass.

Artificial turf may be facilitate playing a fast game which naturally benefits
the western style of playing hockey. The indian style game has suffered because
of this. Maybe, the federation could recognise two different venues -
one natural grass and the other being astro-turf.

This will not only benefit the traditional Indian style game and will save 
India a lot of money in terms of setting up astro turf fields.

Hi guys, I would like to know about the Nutritional Values of Indian food,

        Obviously there will be a larger proportion of 
        articles relating to kerala.
        
        I believe most of us who use sci have by virtue of their
        education or the environment they grew up in or the one
        they live in now, have learnt to see beyond their own communities.
        There are occasional atavistic throwbacks, but that cant
        be helped.

        There are some experiences that are intrinsically Indian
        that transcend our communities, which will always find its
        way to SCI.
        At the same time there are things you would prefer discussing
        among a smaller audience who share a common interest in the 
        topic. A brief reading of s.c.t. shows how a audience more
        focussed on the issues discussed leads to less noise.

        I could invoke any number of long winded arguments and split
        debating points about the need for the group. But you know
        the story. I dont want to go through that rigmarole.

Hello Friends

Yesterday I was annoyed by the remarks made by the NBC commentator in the
parade of nations during the Olympic opening ceremony. The remark that India
is so poor that it can't afford to built a hockey field turf for its players
by a American National Network Commentator shows that the west still sees India
as the same old sanke charmers nation.

Eventhough Indians have been coming to the west since many years, the same old
categorization of Indians continues and something should be urgently done to
change the view of the outside world on India.Can't we Indians in America do
something to change the this view...and can't we do something to know our
discontent on such remarks to NBC...

As far I know, India has three astro turf surfaces in India..in Delhi, Lucknow,
and some other city.

It's going to be harder than just destabilising the CPIM Govt. During my years
at JU and during my subsequent visits to India, I was amazed to find the
extent to which the party has infiltrated every organisation and placed it's 
symapthizer's there in positions of power. These people are like the
Russian KGB or the East German Stassi. They report directly to Alimuddin
Street (CPIM party headquarters) and get their orders from there too.
They have unlimited financial resources and of course an ever plentiful
supply of CPIM cadres to do their dirty work. More frighteningly, these
people (they have a frontal organaisation and in JU it was called the
Gobesona Samiti or Research Association) have records of people who
are supposedly anti-CPIM in their beliefs, along with their home addresses
and in some cases their phone numbers.

A class mate who got a CSIR grant during the course of his Ph.D. was
accused of being a Cong(i) agent and asked to return the money. The CSIR
is a national agency and Rajiv Gandhi was PM at that time. He refused and
was threatened with dire consequences. Even then he refused to back down
and CPIM cadres paid a visit to his parents in a remote village in
Midnapore. That is how far reaching their organisation is. My friends father
was severly beaten and told to ask his son to toe the party line.
My classmate subsequently left JU, moved to IIT Kanpur and completed
his Ph.D couple of months ago.

Every person who ever in the DSF during their JU years will know what I
am talking about. The DSF party brass was closely watched and reported
on by these agents of the CPIM. I am told dossiers were made and maintained
by the CPIM on those students who were construed to be especially
dangerous to the party heirerchy.

I therefore do not think destabilistion alone will work. The only course
of action I can think of is President's rule (as somebody else suggested,
earlier) followed by the deployment of the Army under the pretext of
a disturbed law and order situation. The Army has to be present during
elections to make sure they are free and fair and then the new Govt.
has to begin a witch hunt to purge these CPIM stool pigeons from the upper
levels of power.


This incidentally was the modus operandii used in Tripura in 1990 and very
successfully at that. The CPIM was thrown out of power in that state and by
the looks of it, may not be back in the Govt. for a long time.

It is the same situation not only in Culcutta, but

cut for three to four hours every day. Also, seemingly
power cuts to agricultural(farming) and industrial sectors

Deb Chatterjee, I am not naive and/or ignorant. Only that I believe in  
democracy. If India has to preserve its democracy, it has to act quickly.  
My opinion is the nation is going through a moral depression. No one is  
optimistic, or motivated. I call it a 'nation in frustration'. Lack of  
leadership is the key problem. Over and over again our so called leaders  
have deceived and betrayed us. We need someone to restore our confidence  
in ourselves. Anywhere you look, there seems to be no signal of hope.  
Hypocracy, corruption, lack of ethics seem to be the order of the day. On  
one hand, we try to convince ourselves that we are a great nation with a  
great past. But deep in our hearts, we know that this vague pride in the  
5000 year old history is serving no purpose. We bengalis, are perhaps  
guilty of being psedo-intellectuals more than anyother community. We try  
to think we care for the poor and helpless, but we are as selfish and  
materialistic as anyother community. So it is time that we be truthful to  
ourselves and face the reality. 
Your solution to the problems are so superficial that it will not do any  
good in the long run. I agree that because there aren't any viable  
alternative to the CPM govt., they have become virtual autocrats. But as  
we all know, the Cong(I) are no better. So we are stuck. I don't know  
where to go from here. -- Aditi Sen.

The data are apparently based on 2 subjects, a woman who had blood transfusions
in the 40's or 50's, and her thirtysomething year old daughter.  This
is a wealth of information to make claims of a new virus, not!  From what
I saw on the news he was shown with an EM micrograph.  There was no idea
of whether or not it is a retrovirus, and all of the proper identification
tests don't seem to have been done.  So is this guy jumping thet gun, or what?
Scientists at the Amsterdam conference (at least those interviewed on TV)
seem to think that he may be pulling a "fast-one."

We'll have to wait for the original report to come out, but if you make
grandiose claims without doing all of the controls, not just ELISAs and
Westerns, but Southerns and sequencing, you're just asking for another
"Cold-Fusion" confusion.
