Troy Davis Silenced Forever
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…
Tim Wakefields Knuckle-ball
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…

Assassin’s creed is an action adventure video game that many students enjoy. It’s an award winning game that is very popular with millions of gamers. However, the best gamers are also often college students that have to sacrifice time with games like Assassin’s Creed for classes and studying. the good news is that even the best students can find time in their busy schedule for great games like Assassin’s Creed!
The key to fitting such as intense hobby is time management. A college student’s interests are already incredibly diversified and their schedule tight. With classes, studying, research paper writing, working, sports, and socialization there isn’t much time for gaming. But with a little bit of organization and discipline most students can make enough time for their video games.
The first step of managing your time is to list responsibilities and activities you want to make time for. Next simply prioritize your list and get the most important thing completed. As strong as the desire is to make Assassin’s creed near the top, one knows it can’t be. Term papers and homework need to come first! As well as a job and other commitments. There is a huge advantage to your mental attitude when the day’s priorities are completed and out of the way. Guilt is no longer an issue and the experience is so much more enjoyable.
Writing a thesis introduction can be extremely daunting. The pressure is on and there are often over 100 pages of material to write. How do you get started writing a thesis with a mountain of “to do” lists in front of you? We polled a handful of our writers at Paper Masters and came up with their favorite way to get started with a thesis. Here is what they say… 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…

Facebook and Google Face-off in Privacy War
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…

Over and over, the college students we help with research papers at Paper Masters tell us how they don’t get how to cite MLA, APA or various other types of citation standards. Not surprising, since there are over 3000 different ways to cite research, with most of these being variations on the main three (MLA, APA and Turbian). Microsoft Word and various other word programs offer basic citation help within the program but it is often incorrect and not updated with newer standards. What is really needed is a way to organize research and in a push of the button, have it cited within the text of your research paper and then saved to be put in the bibliography. Finally, several great programs have been released that do just this – Papers 2 for the Mac OS and Mendeley for both Windows and Mac users. 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.
