Pinkberry. Yogurtland. Yo-Yo Ga-Ga. Fro-Yo A-Go-Go. Yoforia. If you've never been to one of these frozen yogurt spots, you've probably heard of their breed: tarty, healthy, fruit-on-top dessert meccas with flavors like green tea and pucker-inducing original.

The cold weather is arriving quicker than normal this season, and the common cold is quite frequent around this time of the year. Taking the normal Nyquil or Dayquil will sometimes help, but what happens when the common cold doesn't fade away after a week? Long-term symptoms may often turn into more serious illnesses such as the flu, strep throat, and tonsillitis.

If an Orthodox Jewish transsexual desires to transition, which will set him on a course of taking hormones and finally having SRS [Sex Reassignment Surgery], is this permitted per halakha? Are there any differences if this is MtF (male to female) or FtM (female to male) transitioning? What prohibitions, if any, does this course of action violate? Does pikuach nefesh [danger of life] play a role in determining the halakha? And assuming that someone goes forward with this surgery, rightly or wrongly, under halakha, is this person seen as being the sex which he was born, or the one he presents as and physically resembles? This is aside from the question of how Orthodox Jews ought to treat such a person on a whole.

Many Manhattan College students start their day with a shower in Overlook, Jasper, or Horan. Then they brush their teeth, and perhaps after make some tea or coffee. They carry Nalgene bottles to the gym and to class. All of these daily activities involve water - but how many students ever really stop and think about how the water gets into their faucet?
On September 16, Manhattan College students and faculty were given the opportunity to become a little more educated on exactly where their water comes from.

For most students the phrases "college" and "healthy eating" never go hand in hand. We have hectic schedules, extra-curricular events and internships combined with the natural rush of college life- who has time to implement both?
Not everyone has the extra time to spend hours working off calories at the gym, but the majority of us make time anyhow.

Two articles ago, I discussed various Web sites where you can store large amounts of files for free. This article deals with sites that let you upload one or more files and then quickly share those files with a friend. You will typically use these services to share large files; obviously, sending a file by e-mail works just fine for smaller loads.
