Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer
Carlton & United Breweries have come under attack today from the Advertising Standards Bureau for allowing users to post derogatory comments on their official VB Facebook page.
It all started when CUB posted this question: "Besides VB, what's the next essential needed for a great Australia Day BBQ?"
Which prompted a barrage of horrible comments that according to The Australian, vilified sexual identity discriminated against women and used obscene language.
The ASB said they considered the comments left by people on the social network site "advertising", even though the company had not posted them.
CUB has acknowledged the ASB concerns, but said it removed the comments and does not in any way endorse them.
But what would CUB customers think about that? Most beer drinkers are largely, by nature, larrikins. Making a joke and having a cheeky sense of humour comes naturally, it's part of the experience.
CUB should have taken this into account while they were developing their social media marketing strategy. The question they used to start a conversation was far too simple and straightforward. It doesn't suit their audience, show brand awareness or spark any kind of relationship or understanding of the product they're selling.
No wonder they got such a low-level response.
Better questions would have asked fans of the VB page to list their favourite CUB beers and then match the best BBQ meats. Or post a photo of their best Australia Day BBQ.
This would engage their audience, test their product knowledge and give them a chance to show off what it is they really love about the brand. This makes the product experience "personal" and at the end of the day that's what good social media is all about.
And if CUB are so keen to grow a loyal customer base why not just make beer that tastes better.

nihonin says:
I'm sure CUB knew exactly the type of response they wanted and I'd say they received it. The people who complained to the ASB would be the only ones who would have been offended, wowsers are everywhere.
Fiddler says:
the mistake they made was asking VB drinkers the question. I am surprised ay of them even know how to use the internet.
There's a reason why they're called Twits... says:
I'm off social media… It makes me laugh when I see celebrities and companies being burnt by it. On a personal level, I've seen a number of friendships ruined due to thoughtless posts which should have remained in a private, not public, space.
In my opinion, social media brings out the worst in people.
dovif says:
I completely disagree
All advertising are good advertising
In fact, by leaving those sexist comment up, they got more press (eg from this writer) then they would otherwise had from a sensible post
che says:
So do people care what Vomit Beer drinkers think? Er, no. Do they think at all, for that matter?
NikRaf says:
"Besides VB, what's the next essential needed for a great Australia Day BBQ?" a bucket to up-chuck the vb into . it is not a beer i would have at my bbq we would be having beer that is a lot better then that stuff
youdy beaudy says:
Well, i don't know about their facebook page but i must say that i like drinking VB.
Now, the ole VB is not a bad beer at all. Slides down the throat very well, one might say that it is very salubrious.
There are many good beers in OZ and VB is as good as the rest. I have tried many. I think being cheaper it is akin to a ordinary mans crown lager. I think i might buy some more later on and suck one back. Yum Yum and yummier i think. Another nice drop is Monteiths Black. Very nice kiwi beer. Won't you try some.?
trevor says:
"CUB should have taken this into account while they were developing their social media marketing strategy."
No, the ASB should have taken this into account when responding to tetotalling, no-life complainers.
Gladys says:
You didn't consider that CUB social media person might be a junior officer who has no idea the potential to incite a word riot.
TrueOz says:
"Better questions would have asked fans of the VB page to list their favourite CUB beers and then match the best BBQ meats. Or post a photo of their best Australia Day BBQ."
Geez Lucy, it's pretty clear that you have absolutely ZERO understanding of the typical consumer of VB. It's also pretty clear that the marketing people at CUB do understand them really well.
If people are offended by the content of that FB page, maybe that should visit a more G rated website. The ASB, along with ANYONE who complained are a pack of moralsers that we would all be better off without.
Boutique Beer Connoisseur says:
I'd only use the VB to rinse off the bbq before & after use. Maybe I'd use it in a beer batter in an emergency if I had no bohemian pilsner in the fridge (fat chance of that happening!).
As to the crass language, should we expect anything more from VB tragics?
I still want to know how they train the cats to squat over the cans.
Heroes walk away says:
Meanwhile in the CUB lab, they are still perfecting their VB/Mother crossover fight-juice drink.
spanky says:
Watch out Lucy Kippist CUB is sending around someone to see you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjHvT5IZgKc You can just go and talk to Rachel and forget eveything you read. LOL
sunny says:
"And if CUB are so keen to grow a loyal customer base why not just make beer that tastes better. "
For taste it's OK, I used to drink stuff till it flowed out my blowhole. Gave me wicked heartburn and filthy hangovers though. When I moved to different (less commercial) beers those side effects went away. Beer makers should have to list what preservatives and other garbage they put in their beer on the side of the bottle just like other food makers. ..besides VB, what's the next essential I would need for a great Australia Day BBQ? Mylanta Tablets!
Az says:
"List their favourite CUB beers and then match the best BBQ meats"
Riiiiighto !
Stick to Journalism and twitter posts Lucy.
Meh says:
Why would ASB have authority over social media? If a company places an advert somewhere, fair enough, but it doesn't have any authority over a companies normal marketing messages or complaints departments, which essentially is what a FB site is for.
I can understand they want to claim authority and make themselves more powerful in their determination of what constitutes an advert, but user content is not advertising.
In the end it is just a self-regulation, so only have the power to hit each other with a wet tea bag anyway.
Tubesteak says:
"Better questions would have asked fans of the VB page to list their favourite CUB beers and then match the best BBQ meats"
I don't think your typical VB drinker is the same as your typical pretentious MasterChef wannabe.
What meats would your typical VB drinker know? Thick sausages. Thin sausages. White onions. Steak. Hamburger mince. Chops. Lamb. It might know of chicken.
Not really the mass appeal response CUB are going for.
Utopia Boy says:
...mmm…is there even an issue here?
Those who don't admire VB are unlikely to click through to a Facebook fan page. Those who do like it may also choose to visit the page. Both these options come with a choice: you deliberately told your finger to depress that mouse button. Once on the page, if you don't like what you see, you then need to tell your finger again to click away from the page.
If you feel the need to complain that your children may see the "offending" material, YOU as a parent need to control their internet usage.
Non issue.
stephen says:
That last comment by Luce is true : the VB taste is getting worse, probably, I think, because drinkers are drinking less beer and the brewer is saving money with less preparation.
'It's a hard-up thirst' is more like it now, I think.
Leningen says:
I almost missed another opportunity to be offended when they wiped the comments off the VB FB page, but thanks to the modern miracles of a slow news day and an even slower Lucy, we have it all in slo mo 3d replay:
instructions for using VB as a date rape drug; denigration of downtrodden minorities ( I mean VB swillers, folks) as well as all the usual rampant "-isms".
For me, this proves that it is VB that is at fault, for what other topic has ever lowered the tone of the commentary to such depths?
Greg in Chengdu says:
This lucy kippist has written another story on News.com about Julia Gillard being entitle to more respect. Lucy are you journalist or just some feminist using this as a medium to voice your views? Standing for anyone thats female despite what they might have done.
Its double standards and it seems tobe the only rubbish they print at the punch lately
ronny jonny says:
"Connesieur of beer", "matching beer to food", "imported bohemian", "VB tastes bad and gives me a headache", this is all code for wanker. If you are drinking your beer out of anything other than a green can or stubby if you must, you are a wanker. Go and have a latte. Don't even start me on those tools with the bit of lemon in their overpriced "imported" beer.
VB is the Very Best and we love it. Cold. In a can. With anything, anywhere.
Paul M says:
The problem isn't CUB and the larrikins. The problem is a few wowsers that want to stifle a certain segment of society. By which I mean, working men. When did beer-drinking men cease to become citizens? We see the most horrible misandry on our screens and papers every day, and no-one bats an eye.
Greg in Chengdu says:
VB is a terrible drink, when I was n Australia I never drank it, I only started drinking beer when I came to Chine. Now VB has arrived in China at the ridiculous price of 26RMB a stubby and I tell people to stay away from it. to make a comparrison I can get a 500ml can of british old speckledhen for 11RMB which is a beautiful drink

Carl's Table model CT03 is the table that started it all! With electric height and tilt control, you position the table to your ideal position. The integrated lighting system adjusts the light on the table to the light on your screen and reduces eye fatigue. And the privacy panels reduce noise and protect privacy. Model CT03 was the first table to provide a complete reading room environment.
Work sitting, standing or reclining. The table adjusts 28.5"-48.5" high and tilts 0-15 degrees. CT03's monitor assembly supports a 2+1 configuration easily. Add a monitor arm and the table supports a 4+1. With the Cable Management System, move the table to any position and the cords stay plugged in and equipment stays in place.
An Ambient Lighting System reads the brightness of a display image and adjusts the ambient light shining on the privacy screen to maintain the appropriate contrast ratio, reducing eye strain.
Adjust the height and depth of each monitor manually to find just the right arrangement. Pull each display to your preferred focal depth for comfortable viewing.
Privacy screens (28" high) shield visual distractions, reduce sound up to 35%, and provide a backdrop for the ambient lighting system.
The right chair makes all the difference. Choose one from Anthro that supports your head, neck, shoulders, and forearms to reduce strain on your body and keep you energized.
Carl's Table CT03 adjusts electrically so radiologists can work comfortably and productively, sitting, standing, or reclining.
With the Cable Management System, you can move the table to any position and the cords and equipment stay where they belong.

Carl's Table is not the same animal as its competition. It really takes body
mechanics into account… Obviously, all radiologists sit for long periods
of time reading cases. So if you can easily change from sitting to standing
and back again, it increases both your comfort and productivity… Simply
put, Carl's Table is the only workstation that addresses my personal safety.
Dr. Trautwine - Austin, TX
In all my dealings with suppliers over the years, I have NEVER had such outstanding customer service from any supplier I have ever dealt with. I believe you will be making an excellent decision if you decide to work with Anthro, and I cannot recommend them more highly. - Kathryn Dunne, Ophthalmic Technologies
Kathryn Dunne, Ophthalmic Technologies
So many companies have forgotten what GOOD customer service is all about - Anthro has not. What a relief it is to deal with people who can do their jobs with common sense, courtesy, and professionalism - all without working from a script!" Thanks again for the excellent customer service!
Kurt F.
Most often, the furniture usually needs to accommodate more than one body type and size.
"We have to make sure that the workspace is customizable to each individual," Garcia says.
"The Anthro tables aren't just adjustable for height, but also for tilt and lighting. Once we
deployed these types of desks and chairs, most of the physical complaints pretty much
Dennis Garcia, Imaging Informatics Operations Manager UCLA Medical Center
There has been a definite reduction in fatigue as well as back problems since our radiologists started using the Carl's Table and Verte chairs. Customer support is great at Anthro also.
The install/service tech was wonderful at our installs. He is extremely knowledgeable and strives to make the customer happy and satisfied with the products.

I have been an Anglo Catholic since the early 1970′s and before that I was mildly Catholic but still learning about Christianity in a village church which was more or less High Church with a slight leaning towards the Catholic approach to worship and ecclesiology.
Since then I have learn a lot about the way that the church of England came into being and it is not a pretty story. I had grave misgivings about the nature of the Anglican Communion and sought clarification from a wise Priest. He helped me to consider the Church of England as being part of the continuing Catholic Church which was not Roman but still Catholic.
Now I am quite confused, and in a way that is a good thing. If I were certain of my understanding then I think I would be in serious doubt of my thinking.
For me the Church of England cannot be a separate body, for if it is then heaven will be a very restricted experience. Many of it's doctrines are clearly erroneous within the great scheme of things, not least the matter of divorce and the role of the Monarch. Divorce and the Monarch are where the Church of England begins, and the late medieval machinations of powerful clerics and temporal lords played about with these 'doctrines' whilst the common people were governed by another standard.
How I feel today about the label 'Catholic' is very different from the 70′s. I feel that it is certainly not applicable to non-conformist denominations and does imply some adherence to long held practice and belief, but what that really is, I do not know.

Stoops questioned the strength of the SEC during a booster club event. Stoops brought up the "bottom six" of the league and how much they have added to the conference's success and reputation.
Stoops' Sooners (10-2) now will have to play a team from the Southeastern Conference -- Alabama (11-1) -- in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2 in New Orleans.
During a conference call to promote the Sugar Bowl, Stoops fielded a question about his summer comments.
"Well, I'm not playing the bottom half," Stoops said. "If the SEC is Alabama, there's nothing to talk about, right? If you want to say the SEC is Alabama, then sure. They're the ones that won all the national championships or most of them. Now if you want to play the bottom half, that's a different story. But we're not playing the bottom half, are we? So there's not a lot to talk about, is there?"
MOSLEY FALLS SHORT IN NAGURSKI: Pittsburgh defensive tackle Aaron Donald won the Bronko Nagurski award, which is given to the nation's top college defensive player.
Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley was a finalist, along with Michigan State cornerback Darqueze Dennard, Florida State linebacker Lamarcus Joyner, and Missouri defensive end Michael Sam.

Hi Artem,
We have currently a ROR project (version 1) under developement, it will be finalize at the end of this month. So we will start the version 2 of this project at the end of this month, it's long term project (minimum 6 month). As i understand, you have some PHP developper who would like switch to ROR, so we can be interested to give them a try on this project. If you are interested let me know and we can discuss more in detail of this engagement
Well adding to the points above...
Get them on to some opensource projects and make sure they understand code base and start contributing. This way you can show case your group as RoR ready! and they too get required practice!
Hope that helps :)
Hello Artem,
My 2 cents!
PHP experience would count partially! If they had worked with cakePHP then would be good advantage. However, you still need to test their object oriented skills! From my experience I find many PHP developers conveniently switching to procedural.
Regarding projects, I can suggest you to look out some projects who wants to switch the technology from PHP to Rails or better with combination of both rails and php.
The bottom line, we need to train them well as we don't find many RoR experts around.
Hi! I am writing to ask for your advice. Currently we have several software developers with 7+ years in PHP that have strong desire to switch to Ruby on Rails.
They have passed a brainbench certification in Ruby on Rails with excellent results, but have only several months of experience in Ruby.
Are there any possibilities to find Ruby project for them? What they should do to persuade a client that they will be good at Ruby?
Could free piloting project may be a solution?
Are there any other things they can do to prove their capability to fulfill Ruby projects? What do you think? Thank you in advance!

llshment or religion, or prohibiting the
rree exercise thereof; or abridging tho freedom
of. speech, or of the press; or the right
ot the people peaceably to "-"'lle, and to
petition the Government for a r!"drees of
What I have seen of this moratorium
so far has, in my opinion, been within
the best limits of the Constitution. I applaud
the order, the dignity, and the
decorum being shown by the marchers,
both young and old, of all c.olors and all
creeds. I applaud the poliee fOO' their attentiveness
to their duties and their understanding
of how demonstrations
should be handled. I applaud. the marshals
whom the demonstrators themselves
have brought with them and who
are responsible for seeing tha.t the law
is observed and that the demonstration
is kept orderly.
I do not want to see a confrontation
1n this Capital or 1n any other place in
this Nation. I do not want to see our people
divided any further than they are. I
want to see attempts made to keep our
voices low, t.o bring us together, to bring
among us a degree of unity. I want to
see attempts in these directions rather
th~ those--ba.sed on emotion, primarily-
that seek the divisiveness which
is well on the way to tearing this country
apart at this time.
These people are our fellow citizens.
They are our children, our neighbors
and our friends; and as I have indicated:
what they are doing comes w!thtn the
provisions of the Constitution.
My only sorrow is that many of these
people-those who are so young--do not
have the right to vote at the age of 18
and in that way help to create a policy
in which they coUld be po.rticipants. But
now they do not help to make policy.
They can only protest. When their turn
comes and they are called to serve their
country, they do so, by and large but
they are carrying out a policy over V.:hich
they have no control at all.
,What I say about demonstrators apphes
to those who feel exactly opposite
to them, becauae there ia never one side
to any question. There are always two
sides, and sometimes more. Those who
are antidemonstrat!on, those who want
to conduct rallies and marches in opposition
to what the mobilization seeks to
undertake, have just as much light to
do s.o under the Constitution of the
~nited States, and they are protected
JUSt as much by the first amendment
to the Constitution.
. I am making these remarks thl.s mornmg,
first, because I was tremendously
impressed, in the darknese of this m.orning,
to see what was happening and how
well it was being done; and, second, e.s
the leader of the majority party 1n the
U.S. Senate, I feel it lneumbent upon me
to make these remarks to urge that
respect, tolerance, and understanding be
shown on all sides, 80 tha.t these demonstmtlons,
pro or con. .these demonstrations
which our citizens are entitled to
make, will be considered in the right light
and will not lead to confrontation.
I believe implicitly 1n bhe t1rst amendment
to the 0oll81;ltution. When I was
elected to this o1Hce I held up my hand
and I swore to defend and uphold the
Constitution without any mental reservation
or a.ny other reservation whatever.
and when I took that oath and said "1
do," I meant it. Moreover, my responsibility
is not only to represent the peop!P
of Montana as a Senator from the State,
but to represent the people of the United
States P.s a Senator of the United States.
SO I would hope that the tone which
has been set by these people of all ages,
all colors, and all creeds would be the
mark of determination for the rest of
this moratorium, not only here, but
throughout the country; and I would
hope that there would be no -violence, no
license, no assaults on property, and no
assaults on people-from any sourcebecause
I do not believe in tactics of that
sort; nor arc they guaranteed under the
Constitution. They are illegal, they are
outside the law, and anyone who conducts
himself in a manner which violates
the law should be made liable to the law.
l would hope that 1f by any chance a
demonstrator or a few demonstrators try
to create situations which endanger the
dignity, decorum, and order of what has
occurred up to this date, those who do
try to break the law would be separated
and placed apart, and the thoughts and
prayers and hopes which are in the
minds and hearts of these people who
are conducting themselves so well so far
would be kept uppermost in our thinking
as well.
I do not know whether most of these
people are the silent minority or the
silent majority; that is immaterial; they
are all Americans.
Because of these factors, not too well
expressed, I had hoped that the leadership
on both sides would make its feelings
!elt and that it might help maintain the
orderliness which so far ha3 marked the
demonstrations, and perhaps help prevent
any disorderliness which might be
attributable to a few but, may well be
placed on the shoulders of the many.
Mr. SCO'IT. Mr. President I sometimes
wonder how we are goi~g to keep
the two-party system going when the
distinguished majority leader continues
to say things with which I am so heartily
m , agreement. This is another instance
of the patriotism and the sincerity and
the very genuine concern for the rights
of the individual as well as the rights of
society which the dl&tinguiahed majority
leader has expressed.
"Congress shall make no Jaw." The
Founding Fathers could not have been
any plaJner than that. They must have
had some foresight, from the way we behave
around here sometime. They thundered
it: "Congress shall ma:ke no law"
and, by God, they meant it when they
added the Bill of Rights and that sacred
first amendment. We cannot and we
shou].d not. The effort of the generations
to understand each other is unending.
Mr. President, yesterday I spoke at the
National Press Club and I ask unanimous
consent that the remarks which I made
at that time be printed at the conclusion
of my statement.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore.
Without objection, it is so ordered.

Apple iPhone 5sCompare9.3 reviewThe iPhone 5s is not a radical departure in design for Apple, save for one very important feature. No, we don't mean the new Space Gray and Gold colors. We have in mind the home button that has been on iPhones from day one, is now turned into a fingerprint scanner dubbed Touch ID. It lets you unlock the phone and authorize purchases, safely storing your fingerprints in the A7 processor itself, out of the reach for anyone but a few default iOS 7 apps. This A7 processor debuts on the iPhone 5s as the first 64-bit mobile chipset in use on a commercial device, utilized by the latest flat and minimalistic iOS 7 that has been rewritten to take advantage of the 64-bit system. It sports a dedicated M7 co-processor for always-on motion sensing, too. The iSight camera stayed 8 MP, but is much improved, with larger pixels, wider aperture, and the ability to shoot slow motion videos, not to mention the dual two-tone LED flash on the back that strives for natural skin color representation.+ View Specs

It comes with a 3.5" screen with a resolution of 640 x 960 pixels, but on the inside there's a twice more powerful dual-core A5 processor.

If you're like most people nowadays, you're worried about whether you'll have enough money for retirement. In the mid-20th century, most retirement money was held by companies and paid out as pensions.
See also: Financial plan beats panic every time.
Since President Gerald Ford signed the ERISA Act of 1974 into law, people have been able to manage their retirement accounts individually, such as with IRAs.
Today, however, fewer workers receive guaranteed pensions and more people are becoming responsible for managing their own retirement funds. As more Americans begin planning for retirement individually, there is the increased need to consult with financial advisers. But take caution — trusting your money with the wrong financial adviser may cost you your life savings.
On this Inside E Street, discover key strategies for selecting the financial adviser who's right for you.

Once repaid the title of the vehicle is yours.
Personal Contract Purchase
Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is by far the most flexible way to pay for your motoring needs. With PCP you do not pay for the whole cost of the vehicle over the finance term.

- There will be no Green Line service at L'Enfant Plaza.
- Green Line trains will operate in two segments:
- Between Greenbelt and Archives every 10 minutes between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m., and at regular weekend intervals at other times.
- Between Waterfront and Branch Avenue at regular weekend intervals.
- Shuttle bus service will operate between Archives, L'Enfant Plaza and Waterfront stations throughout the weekend. Customers using shuttle bus service should add 20 minutes to their travel time.
- The last Green Line train from Greenbelt to Archives will operate 20 minutes earlier than normal on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Yellow Line
- There will be no Yellow Line service this weekend between Fort Totten and Archives due to bridge work on the Yellow Line bridge over the Potomac River--including the structure's annual inspection--as well as switch replacement outside L'Enfant Plaza.
- Instead, Yellow Line trains will operate via the Blue Line (through the Rosslyn tunnel) between Huntington and Eastern Market stations. Trains will operate every 24 minutes; Blue Line trains will provide additional service.
- Customers traveling to or from Yellow Line stations from Fort Totten to Archives should use Green Line trains to complete their trip. If traveling to or from Yellow Line stations in Virginia, consider transferring between Gallery Place and Metro Center using a Red Line train. At Metro Center, Yellow Line trains will arrive on the lower level. (Example: A customer traveling between Georgia Ave-Petworth and Pentagon City would take a Green Line to Gallery Place, transfer to a Red Line train to Metro Center, and then transfer to a Yellow or Blue line train to Pentagon City.)
- There will be no shuttle bus service between L'Enfant Plaza and Pentagon stations. Customers should use Yellow or Blue line trains, via Rosslyn, for travel between these stations. Plan about 15-20 minutes of additional travel time.
- At L'Enfant Plaza, Yellow Line trains will arrive on the lower level.
- The last Yellow Line train from Huntington to Eastern Market will operate 10 minutes earlier than normal on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Blue Line
- Blue Line trains will single track between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road to allow for repairs to the floating concrete slabs beneath the rails.
- Throughout the weekend, trains will opeate every 24 minutes between Franconia-Springfield and Largo Town Center.
- Customers using Blue Line trains should allow 15 minutes of additional travel time.
- Note: This weekend, Yellow Line trains will operate via the Blue Line between King Street and Eastern Market stations, providing additional service frequency between these stations.

REDMOND, WASH. -- Innovation is not just about cool new products. In technology, the best ideas require a) really smart people and b) lots of funding. For the past 33 years, Microsoft has had both in spades.
Yet, the precursor to any product release is the research and innovation that occurs before the first shipment to customers, that "pre-pre-alpha" stage where ideas are born.
In a recent two-day visit to Microsoft corporate headquarters, writer John Brandon met with several researchers working on new projects.
A few of these projects have already resulted in shipping products; others may never see the light of day – they are meant as a proof of concept. Some could change how we do computing altogether. Yet, all of them are driven by bright thinkers who are working to solve real-world technical problems.

The Skin Cancer Institute and the Skin Cancer Prevention Program at the University of Arizona Cancer Center are creating a sample repository or "bank" to be used for future research to better understand the biology and treatment of skin cancer.
This research will be based on the personal health information of the study participants, their medical and treatment history for skin cancer or pre-cancerous skin lesions, and the collection of their tissue and blood samples, which will be stored and then used for laboratory tests.
We are seeking study participants, ages 18 to 80, who have a history of actinic keratoses or "pre-cancers."
Study participants are asked to complete questionnaires to answer questions about their personal characteristics, past medical history and risk factors. Their medical records may be reviewed by approved study personnel to obtain information about their medical history pertaining to skin cancer and treatments. Small amounts of blood and saliva are collected, and small skin samples are collected from actinic keratoses and normal skin moles, as well as from areas of sun damaged skin and sun protected skin.
Compensation for time and travel will be provided to qualified study participants.
For more information and to request a phone interview, please call the study coordinator at 520-321-7747.

If you're a college student, the following scenario is bound to present itself: You have to work or have a test early in the morning but your neighbors have decided to party until 3 or 4 a.m. You're not a party pooper (you just don't want to be a zombie the next day!) so you should know there is absolutely nothing wrong with standing up for yourself – and your health – to better perform at work or summer academics.
Don't jump out of bed and bang on your neighbor's door at the first sound of noise. Wait and see if the activity continues either the next night or next week. If it does, say something to your neighbor to let them know you're below/above/next door to them. They might not realize how loud they are and how thin the walls are.
If the party noise continues for multiple nights, try to gauge why before confronting your neighbors. If they're clearly intoxicated, just tell them to keep it down because you're trying to sleep. (It's no use having a serious conversation with anyone in their condition; sometimes, they realize it's late anyway and just needed a reminder.) If you happen to talk to someone sober, explain to them that the noise has gone on for a few nights now and it is interfering with your work or school schedule. Suggest a compromise like quieting down after midnight.
If your neighbors ignore you and you still can't sleep, bang on the ceiling, floor or wall with a broomstick or threaten to call the cops. I've done this twice and both times, my neighbors have quieted down...fast. Unless the party is WAY out of control, someone sounds hurt or something illegal is going on, don't actually get the police involved – saying you will gets the message across that you're serious about taking action. Sometimes drastic measures have to be taken but they're effective: I haven't had problems since and neither will you.

Writing is what she has always done and that is what she is here to do.

High school students are well aware of the competition they'll face when they apply to college so they're willing to do whatever it takes to make their transcripts and resumes stand out to admissions committees. One great way to do this is by taking Advanced Placement classes and as the demand for these courses increases, high schools are doing their part to accommodate all interested students.
Though a Boston Globe review of state data found students at area high schools take AP exams at widely different rates, schools in the city's northern suburbs have recorded higher rates of AP participation. In Malden, for example, 40 percent of seniors in the class of 2010 took at least one AP exam during their high school careers and the city has even added AP courses in psychology, U.S. government and environmental science to meet the increasing demand. Why? Because administrators are removing barriers. "For lack of a better word, we go after the kids. Teachers, guidance counselors and administrators make sure kids know they have this opportunity," Malden's director of guidance, testing and academic support Manjula Karamcheti said.
Are all students succeeding? No, but educators feel the overall benefits of the AP experience can be more important than a student's score on the test. "When you open up the access, you run the risk of allowing students in that maybe were on the cusp, and I think that's a good thing," said Jon Bernard, principal of North Reading High School, where 60 percent of students scored a 3 or higher on their AP exams last year. "Even if the student gets a 2 or a 1 on the exam, I still think they have gained a benefit that will allow them to be successful in their postsecondary pursuits."
What do you think of this AP for all philosophy?

Sure, most high schools won't be back in session for another month but some rising seniors aren't wasting any time getting back into the academic swing of things: As of Tuesday evening, admissions season officially began with the launch of this year's Common Application. According to the not-for-profit's website, 300 individuals registered for Common Application accounts within the initial 30 minutes they were available this admissions cycle, with the first one coming in less than 60 seconds after the launch!
So should you use the Common Application? Seeing as though some of the most selective schools in the country (think UChicago and Columbia) have adopted it, we think it's definitely worth it if you are applying to more than one school. The online system makes it very easy to complete and submit applications to multiple schools but some colleges and programs do require Common Appers to complete supplemental questions to gauge applicants' knowledge of and interest in that specific school; these are NOT optional and neglecting to submit supplements means your application will be viewed as incomplete and will not be considered for admission.
Ready to get the application process started? Register for your own Common Application account today!

It's that time again, folks: Summer is ending and we're all lugging all our stuff back to our dorm rooms for another year of school. After reuniting with your friends, everyone asks how your summer was and how that internship went. Wait...what internship? While others swap stories about impossible assignments, "constructive criticism" and weird bosses, you sit there awkwardly and silently swear to yourself that you're going to put your nose to the grindstone this semester. No opportunity will be passed up and your resume will look absolutely glorious.
Hang on. Between classes, clubs, a job, potential internships and – oh yeah! – a social life and maybe some sleep, you're left with less than five hours in the day. Oops...but don't fret: It's possible if you know how to work the system. And, luckily for you, some of us already do.
Internships are a must to add to your resume before you leave college but if you're attending school/living in a small city with few opportunities, don't have a car and have to rely on unreliable public transit, etc., this can be a super difficult task. Solution? Go virtual! Virtual (or remote) internships are THE best way to get experience in a time-efficient way. You can work from anywhere there's a computer with Internet access and you often get to make your own schedule. Take it from someone who's had four remote positions already – you're going to want to look into virtual internships as an option.
While internships are great, you're obviously going to want a job to pad your bank account a bit, right? Nothing fancy is necessary so your first stops should absolutely be on campus. Places like the library, gym and all academic departments all need students to work for them and they're in walking distance from your dorm and/or classes. Less travel time means more time spent doing something productive, so take advantage. Another HUGE plus? On-campus jobs are often really good about letting you do homework while on shift. Multitasking at its finest and yet another way to free up more of your day!
The key here is to be as efficient as possible with your time. Use it as productively as you can, overlap tasks and travel, and you're good to go. Now stop procrastinating and get to work!

For my final Scholarships.com article, I was supposed to write about things homeschooled students can to do adjust to college whether they are living at home and commuting or moving to campus. As I sat holding my pen and staring at a blank piece of paper, however, all I could think about was how homeschooling actually helped better prepare me for college!
Homeschooling taught me how to study and pursue knowledge for myself. One of the top complaints I heard from my peers when I tutored at community college was that they didn't really know how to study. I was not fed information via lecture when I was growing up – as a kid, my mom and I spent a lot of time reading and learning together and by the time I was in high school, Mom would give me my assignments and I would research and write about them myself.
This approach to education also helped me to think for myself and form my own opinions. My parents taught me to hold my beliefs and convictions to everything my professors tell me and to not be swayed by popular opinion. This sort of critical thinking led me to pursue and accept leadership positions when I began attending college, including editor-in-chief of my school paper and a member of the SGA Cabinet.
Time management is an important lesson that many students learn for the first time in college but I was able to learn how to juggle studying, extracurricular activities and a part-time job during my senior year of high school. In short, homeschooling more than prepared me for college life. If you were homeschooled and are preparing to attend college for the first time this semester, I think you'll be surprised by how much you can take what you've learned at home and apply it to your college experience. Let me know if I'm right!

Ever since I entered high school, I knew that college was in my future. I also had my career path planned as early as ninth grade: I always liked to write and given my interest in celebrity news and trends, a career as an entertainment journalist seemed like the perfect fit!
While I had my career decided, I was far less certain of the school that would get me there. I could not see myself going to any public schools in North Carolina and I was quick to look at the pretty private schools. Campbell University was in my top five but not high on the list until I went on a campus visit...but I left Campbell crying because I did not think my decision would be this hard! I ended up choosing Campbell because I loved the small campus feel, their campus ministries and the school paper. What I looked for in a school is all a reality now and I love it – I could not imagine myself anywhere else! I am now in my second semester and am taking advantage of all the campus has to offer, especially the ministries and the Campbell Times, where I work as a reporter.
I learned of the opportunity to become a virtual intern for Scholarships.com through an email over Christmas break. I thought it wouldn't hurt to apply and to see where it would take me. I like to write about my college experiences through my own personal blog so when I heard that I was chosen to become a virtual intern, I was excited to know that others would hear my story!

For a college student, an internship is viewed as a rite of passage, a box that must be checked, a prerequisite for future ambitions. And while obtaining an internship is a success in its own right, finding one where you'll be compensated in something other than experience and a reference is a challenge…but not necessarily impossible. A new report from Glassdoor lists the highest-rated companies that not only pay their interns but pay them extremely well. Check out the top 10 companies that made the cut below (for the complete list, click here):

We've all been there: Going about our day as if we don't have a care in the world when it dawns on us that (go figure) that term paper on the pros and cons of procrastination in the creative process is due tomorrow. Panicked, we consider emailing our professor an excuse about a death in the family but given we killed off Nana (who's actually alive and well back home) last semester during finals week, we decide it's best to pull an all-nighter. The next day, we're irritable, unmotivated and just plain sluggish and while the simple solution is to overcome procrastination and not leave an assignment until the last minute, a Harvard student has suggested a different approach: a nap room on campus.
The Harvard administration is considering creating a designated nap room after sophomore Yugi Hou started an online petition. "Most students operate daily on a sleep deficit, to the detriment of their health and productivity," said Hou. "For those getting insufficient sleep at night, naps can provide alertness and help students take a break from their hectic schedules." Hou started the online petition through the Harvard Undergraduate Council's "We the Crimson" initiative, which is meant to foster direct dialogue between students and school administrators. Each month, the three petitions with the most votes are sent to the Dean of Harvard College for review. Harvard administrators have yet to make a decision on the initiative but Hou has said that until a siesta center is set up on campus, she plans on creating a "nap map" to help plot the best spots for students to nod off on campus.
If you're a fan of napping between classes, do you think it's your university's responsibility to provide nap rooms for students? Let us know what you think in the comments section.

College can sound very exciting with moving away from home and being on your own but who you live with can make or break your college experience.
Most colleges require freshmen to live in campus housing with roommates. Roommates can be chosen at random, via special requests or at college orientation. (Some schools, like Campbell, even have "Class of" or "Admitted Students" pages on Facebook and students can find their future roommates there.) I had a roommate selected at random and she moved out halfway through the semester but I knew this was a common situation: Sometimes students move out to room with a better friend or they change dorms because the new residence hall is closer to their classes and extracurricular activities.
How do you know if you have found the right roommate? Talk to them! Discuss what you both expect to do at college, your respective bedtimes and what you'll bring into the dorm. If you think the match is a good one, sign a roommate contract but if you don't think your living situation is going to work, try to make a room change sooner than later. Maybe you met someone in class or on your floor who is also having roommate issues, which makes a potential swap even easier.
If I could choose the best way to find a roommate, I would go the random route again and connect with them prior to move-in day. Most people I know on campus were paired with their roommates randomly and now consider each other good friends...but that may not be the case for everyone: It all depends on what type of person you are and if you can handle living with someone else. There is a perfect roommate for everyone!
So how did you find your roommate? Did it work out, were there issues or would you have change the way you were paired?
