A recent article in the Chicago Tribune brought to light a growing American problem and put it’s finger on the cause – Many adults can’t research and write and overcrowded high-schools are to blame. According to the Tribune,
“Several Chicago-area high schools have dialed back the paper’s length requirements and instead emphasize the research process and weighing of sources, a critical skill in the digital era, teachers say. Others skip the extended assignment entirely in favor of shorter, intermittent papers, while some allow students to showcase their research with PowerPoint presentations and Web pages.”
The root of the problem rests in time and resources, not in relevancy. Teachers, particularly at the high school level, are overworked and have class sizes that are far to overwhelming to adequately grade and examine in-depth research papers. The Tribune article pointed out that while the 15 to 20 page senior high school research project use to be the norm, it is no longer bothered with in light of easier, less time-intense projects. The tragic result of this… Read more…

Joe Paterno is more revered in Pennsylvania than William Penn himself. Paper Masters is a Pennsylvania company and we work closely with many universities across the state and trust me, the reverberation from the recent Penn State sex scandal runs deep in the academic community. Shame is the first and foremost feeling by many. And rightly so. What a horrific occurrence. Someone needs to pay, and I imagine Penn State will be forking it over in large sums very shortly, but Joe? Should Joe Paterno pay with a marred reputation? Is this the way Joe Paterno should exit?

Lady Gaga, as the top grossing woman in the entertainment industry, is using her influence to drive the campaign for making bullying in schools illegal. An idea that is long overdue, Gaga’s efforts were amped up by the recent suicide of Jamey Rodemeyer, a young gay boy involved in the “It Gets Better” movement aimed at making the plight of bullied youth known. Lady Gaga has the attention of President Obama and now it rests on his lap to take her pleas and the concerns of Little Monster’s throughout the nation to capital hill. Read more…

The execution of Troy Davis certainly has college campuses and classes buzzing with discussion. Certainly it will be the subject of many research and term papers. Troy Davis’ execution represents just what is wrong with the death penalty. The world is outraged at the United States for continuing the antiquated and ineffective use of a barbaric punishment, especially in the case of Troy Davis, due to the fact that there are still questions as to whether he was guilty or not. Doubt, when introduced to the irreversible decision of the death penalty makes the justice of the punishment highly questionable. Read more…
On September 13th 2011, Tim Wakefield pitched his 200th win. And at the age of 45 he is the oldest active professional baseball player. In spite of these accomplishments, success has not come easy to Wakefield. And that is the inspiration for this post’s lesson for students.
As a typical student at Florida Tech, Tim Wakefield not only completed his studies but he started on the school’s ball team. He wrote term papers, studied, and took tests as he trained and competed on the ball field. Tim set records and won awards as a college ball player. Read more…

Ok, Ok, Ok…so guilt got the best of me and I’m addressing “the cloud” once again. Just in case your head is in the sand and you don’t understand the problems of cloud computing, I feel compelled to follow up to the blog a few days ago in which I raved on about music storage and cloud computing. Many college students can relate to the problems of cloud computing directly, as their Playstation network crashed and burned several weeks ago. And personal data on Sony’s network? Kiss that good-bye! 100 million accounts compromised, exposed and let loose to hackers. And last month, Amazon’s cloud services had a breach in security and put down many big name sites and scared the pants off of thousands of smaller sites that use Amazon to cheaply store their data. Incredibly scary and a warning to all about jumping on the cloud bandwagon. Read more…

The Cloud is perfect for a college student's music.
College students have a particularly difficult time with keeping music organized, synced and accessible on all devices due to the large amount of music the typical college student has, the wide variety of devices to play music he or she owns and the transient nature of being a college student. I myself have an iPad, iPhone, MacBook and an old iPod (Sick, I know, but not uncommon at all) and I use them all depending upon where I am or where I’m going or what I want access to. To have all my music synced over all 4 devices is a fantasy I cannot get my head around. However, it looks as if it’s going to be a reality, thanks to cloud computing. Cloud music services are perfect for college students in many ways. Read more…

Students beware! Google and Facebook are at each other’s throat with a war on privacy issues that is so ugly it wouldn’t surprise me if one of them accused the other of harboring weapons of mass destruction. Facebook was caught this week “leaking” e-mail correspondence critical of Google’s privacy practices. What Facebook did was hire a public relations firm to target Google’s privacy practices to amp up public perception and speculation on their privacy practices. Not a new tactic but, according to the Wall Street Journal, a highly unethical and sophomoric attempt at mudslinging.
The privacy war is very transparent for those that understand both companies are greedy for the public’s private information to enhance their advertising leverage and domination of search. Facebook as a search engine? Facebook is the 2nd most searched entity on the Internet. There are billions of dollars to be had and the stakes are high to make the public believe their information is safe. So who do you believe and what does this mean for college students? Read more…

There is a temptation to look at the news and be angry at what is happening in Japan with the nuclear reactors. I’m located on the coast of California and the gentle pacific breeze blows smog and factory filth from Japan every day. And now it looks like we will be adding a bit of radiation to the mix. How dare you Japan! But alas…in the future, when radiation level postings become part of the weather.com informational postings, just beside the smog alert and allergy levels, I’ll be slapping myself for my apathy. Nuclear energy is a glorious, short-sighted energy alternative, much like oil. Humans are parasitic, apathetic, instant gratification orientated and worst of all, capitalistic driven monsters. But we’re cute, sexy, smart and very persuasive. We can convince an entire globe that a nuclear reactor on an island, under a huge fault line is a good idea. How brilliant was that Oppenheimer!
Whether you’re a college student, home-maker or blithering idiot, rethink your own values and priorities. Get active and if it sounds like a bad idea, tell someone. Show some concern for the earth, for your health, for humankind and come out from under the shell of “what can little ‘ol me do” and get active. Particularly if you’re a college student. College students have a powerful network and voice in the world because they are the future businessmen and thinkers of tomorrow. And remember, if it sounds like a bad idea – Hey, don’t do it.
