education as risk
Summer 1993, it was early morning when I arrived. Placement had been expected and seemingly predetermined – a long push from a low place. The College had sent documents earlier that May indicating acceptance and the award of a financial package, pending [...]

We can't speak for the US, where drinking laws are such that when you're finally legal you have a hairline receding more than a North Atlantic tide, but in Canada and the UK, you're able to drink, drive and vote all under the age of 20 (perhaps even in the same day if you have lots of errands to run)In the UK, "freshers", ("frosh" in Canada, "freshmen" in the US) such as the girl seen here, taking a much needed study break, have been known to dull the rigors of those stressful first two weeks of class registration and receipt of more than three course syllabuses, by tilting the wrist. Now, the UK government is threatening a freshman orientation crackdown worse than when your Visa's declined at the corner bar and you've donned a hairnet and helped with the dishes. According to a Sunday Times report, however, hypocrisy abounds as Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg, as a drunk teen (hencforce known for his dry wit), purportedly set fire to a greenhouse full of award-winning (?) cacti and
This article in today’s Bucks County Courier Times notes the following…At a press conference at (Bristol Borough Junior/Senior High School) Monday, Congressman Patrick Murphy, D-8, discussed his plan to put a “sticker price” on a college education.The plan, called the Truth in Tuition measure, was an amendment Murphy added to the College Opportunity and Affordability Act that passed in the House by 354-58 Thursday. That amendment needs Senate approval and will need to be signed into law by President Bush.“It's time to be straight with American families about how much college is going to cost,” Murphy said Monday, alongside a dozen high school and college students and their parents.Murphy's proposal would essentially force all colleges and universities, both public and private, to publicly explain the reasons behind a tuition increase.Oh, and before you digest the latest lie from White House flak Dana Perino that the 110th is a “do-nothing Congress,” consider that the Ho

There are a lot of good uses that the Internet can be put to, and one of them just happens to be for college football recruitments. In a country where football frenzy is an accepted fact of life, the number of young Americans looking to make their mark in the game is phenomenal and can get pretty cut-throat at times. This is partially the reason why sites like scoutingohio.com were started. These websites provide a centralized and reliable space for high school football players to do some online marketing of their own. They can create profiles, put up videos of their games and do just about anything to draw the attention of college recruiters. Video sites like Youtube function similarly with the video hosting facilities that they provide. Even social network communities and blogsites provide spaces where members can post in videos and photographs showcasing the best they have. It’s not hard to get some basic online marketing done these days. There are always professional

The Cincinnati Public Schools appear to be promoting military recruitment in the guise of college preparation through a corporate program called “Making Your College Search Count.” Students at Walnut Hills High School spent fifty minutes this week in a required assembly listening to a talk about getting into college, and though the presenter never mentioned the military, the military option was ever present.

It's time for our first rankings of the season for College Hoops. 1.(Tie) Memphis & KansasIt is still tough to tell who is the clear-cut number one. Both Memphis and KU are very similar in many ways. They both play the same type of game, fast paced and rely on their speed and athleticism. Both have some great wins with Memphis beating Georgetown, USC, Arizona, and Gonzaga and KU topping Arizona and USC. Memphis may have a few bigger wins but the Big XII schedule evens it out for Kansas. We may not know who is the "true" number one until one of these team loses or maybe not until they meet in the NCAA Tournament.3. North CarolinaI'll take UNC over Duke even though the Heels lost to Maryland and Duke beat them. UNC is still one of the best teams in the country with one of the best point guards in Tywon Lawson. We may know more a little more about the depth and toughness of this team after a tough stretch with games vs. Boston College, at Florida St., and a February 6 showdown with D

Le celebrazioni in onore dell’uomo che "ebbe un sogno" saranno molte, ma alcune sono già partite in questo periodo.

As I ponder and watch some College Hoops lately, I only think but wonder who is even the best team in the country? We have some good choices out there and it is really a toss-up.We have 4 legit teams who may be above the rest. North Carolina, Memphis, Kansas, and UCLA have been dominating this season (with the exception of UCLA's loss to Texas). But other than that, these 4 have been damn impressive.So who is the best?North Carolina is ranked number one in the polls right now. Can anyone really beat them right now, especially if you can't stop their transition game? Tywon Lawson is just an electric point guard (best in the country) and Tyler Hansbrough is the work-horse that he's always been. The Tar Heels have beaten some good teams this season and have just straight dominated some too. They beat an experienced BYU team by 10, dominated a good Ohio St. team by 11, completely dismantled the WAC favorite in Nevada, and also beat Kentucky. Did I also mention they have one of the deepest

College Student Loans, worth the investment?
More than likely if you have attended a college or university you have some type of student loan. According to CNN.com, “Nearly two of every three undergraduate students are going into debt to go to college, owing an average of more than $19,000, most often to the government.” With these [...]

As winter sets in and graduation dates draw ever closer, most parents' minds inevitably begin to fix upon the ultimate reward for the education they've supported; in other words, on that first real job.Unless your son or daughter has a degree (or destiny) that leads them directly into a specific role - such as doctor, accountant, lawyer, etc - helping them determine what that first position should be can be far more daunting than helping them determine which college to attend. For one thing, there will be never be another time in their career that offers them more opportunity. The new class of college graduates is the single greatest source of management-capable workforce and the largest entrance pool in the nation. Nearly every major corporation in the world provides an clear, accessible entry point to their workforce for this inexperienced yet high-potential recruit. So how do they decide?The good news is that, as a parent, you can provide far greater support and encouragement in thi
Susan Longley of Long Island, New York drank shots of Tequlia and danced the night away at the "China Club" last night in celebration of passing her final exams.A junior at Saint Francis College, Ms. Longely said that she passed her exams by sucking dick. "listen, I'm not the brightest girl in school, but I'm smart enough to use my assets."Apparently, this college slut went from professor to professor offering to suck their dick for a passing grade.It was easy she said. "I sucked each professor's cock and got a passing grade. I'm not a total slut you know; I didn't swallow any cum, just sucked ther dicks and spit their cum on the floor."The hardest passing grade I got was in my History class because my professor was a woman, but I ate her pussy and made her cum hard." I deserve to pass, and now Im going to party the night away."Later that night we observed Ms. Longley drunk, topless and on her knees by the men's bathroom, sucking cock and swallowing cum for free drinks. In fact, this c
The road to a career can be a long and winding highway with lots of dead ends and wrong turns. Perhaps you've hit some of these occupational detours--unnecessary coursework, scattered employment opportunities, and wandering around the Internet, looking for just the right profession. But with a career college, you can be on the fast track to rewarding vocation in a respected field. "I received training in exactly what employers are looking for," said one vocational school student. "I didn't waste time taking classes that you don't really need for the job market."If you're thinking about earning a certificate from a career college that trains you for a specific niche, such as health care support staff positions--pharmacy technician, medical assistant, or health claims examiner/medical biller, and other challenging positions--it's important to ask questions before enrolling. You'll want to feel confident about your decision before embarking on your studies. According to educational expert

Being there are 32 bowl games, we'll divide them up with two posts.Poinsettia Bowl Utah vs. NavyTSF's Take: Navy has a stellar rushing game and Utah's Defense is vulnerable but Utah is far more athletic and I have a feeling Utah will play like they did in their 44-6 win over UCLA.New Orleans BowlMemphis vs. Florida AtlanticTSF's Take: Memphis just has more depth and talentPapajohns.com BowlSouthern Miss vs. CincinnatiTSF's Take: Cincy has had some impressive wins and they have a high octane offense.New Mexico BowlNevada vs. New MexicoTSF's Take: I like Nevada's poise and physicalityLas Vegas BowlUCLA vs. BYUTSF's Take: BYU is underrated.

Top 10 report card review of CMJ's Top 200 College Radio Chart for November 7, 20071) Iron and Wine Shepherd’s DogSam Beam is still as charming as ever with his almost-whisper singing, and folk-melodies. But it’s apparent that while recording Shepherd’s Dog, he discovered a new musical style and influence without completely abandoning his old ones. This album isn’t quite what I expected, but it’s nearly as perfect as I had hoped. A2) Animal Collective Strawberry Jam“Uuh we are such peculiar artistes and no one understands us. This makes us undeniably indie and better than THOU!”Animal Collective had to thinking something along those lines while recording this overly bizarre and noisy excuse for an album (and let me tell ya, it aint bizarre or noisy in the way that I like music.) Strawberry Jam features a terribly off key vocalist who sometimes resorts to screaming, faux-yodeling and, at times, even croaking his way through songs. On top of that, the album includes the hea
Qualcomm Stadium isn’t good enough for the Chargers.What is it good for?How about two of the best non-BCS football games this college postseason?The Pacific Life Holiday Bowl has a great match-up Dec. 27 with No. 12 Arizona State (10-2) vs. No. 17 Texas (9-3).ASU would have been in a BCS game had Hawaii not made a late comeback to beat Washington last Saturday.Texas was the national champion two years ago and is still considered among the top names in college football.As for the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, the Navy (8-4) vs. Utah (8-4) contest Dec. 20 is as good as it gets before Christmas.Navy is always a great draw in a military town like San Diego, and it has a very formidable team.Utah, three years removed from a BCS game, scored a 44-6 victory this season over a UCLA team which was in the Rose Bowl hunt until last weekend.No matter what you say about Qualcomm Stadium, it’s still adequate enough for two of the top bowl games in America.

Scientists at Kyoto University report that 5-year-old chimpanzees have better short-term memory than college students. Once the chimps get older and learn to enjoy weekend binge drinking, recreational drugs, and staying up all night drinking Red Bull while listening to AFI and pretending to study, the difference levels out.
From Yahoo! NEWS:
Never mind that TV show that asks if you're smarter than a fifth-grader. Is your memory better than a young chimp's? Maybe not. Japanese researchers pitted young chimps against human adults in two tests of short-term memory, and overall, the chimps won.
