Chinese Students In America. It's Bad Out There.
2012-01-11 23:28:00 Much has been written about Chinese students coming to American colleges. An article out today, entitled, "Chinese applications to U.S. schools skyrocket," starts out quoting a Chinese high schooler who is contemplating attending the University of Washington: I know this [ambition] is pretty high,” said the 17-year old Beijing native. “But I think I can give it a shot.” To prepare, Duan wants to study international relations at an American college – someplace like the University of Washington. “I hear [it] is good at social science," she said. The University of Washington is one of approximately 10 U.S. universities Duan plans to apply to in the coming year with the help of an education consultant she hired last summer. That got me to thinking about the complaints (yes, it has been nothing but complaints) I have heard from college students (the majority of whom are at the University of Washington) about their fell...

New Menu Excites Food Police, Not Students
2011-12-30 18:51:00 You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force him to drink. That old adage is proving true when it comes to improving school lunches. The Los Angeles Times recently examined the- failure of the Los Angeles Unified School District’s introduction of healthy lunches. We’ve seen before the consequences of taking away chocolate and strawberry milk in schools, but now L.A. schools have taken menu changes in the name of health even further. The new menu includes vegetarian creations such as curries, quinoa salads, and Pad Thai noodles, which predictably drew praise from the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). But are students really better off with fewer choices? The kids left hungry don’-t think so. The problem, as explained by many students, is that the district-approved food is “nasty.” When faced with the new menu, it isn’t hard to see why two high school juniors conceded to eating more junk food now than last year...
Rain Rain, Go Away... My Poor, Starving, College Students are Here!
2011-12-21 17:00:00 Rain rain, go away.... I feel like all it's done since moving here is rain. We get a brief respite from it for a day or two (of clouds) and then it's back. No wonder there is so much mold down here. This house finally has a real family in it. Yes, the two older kids arrived last night. Being poor, starving college students, all they could talk about, text about and think about was food. The texts started while they were still on the plane;"Do you have lots of food?""No. We have cookies. And milk. But that is for Santa. We have some Ramen noodles though.""Noooooooooo!"*grin*The- drive home made my son insane as I would announce that we still had 5 more miles to go. Still had 2 more miles to go. LOL. All he could do is talk about how hungry he was. (They had not ate all day as he only had $6 in his pocket and didn't want to spend it on an airport sandwich!).

Monster.com Targets Students With Monster College. A Boon For Companies?
2011-11-04 08:34:00 After invading the Social Networking circuit, Monster has launched another initiative into India’s Campus Placement Market. Called as Monster College, this is an integrated placement platform, which is aimed at seamlessly connecting colleges, students and companies. Under this noble initiative, Monster will work with educational institutes across the country to help companies make campus recruitment’s possible right from the comfort of their offices. Sanjay Modi, Managing Director, had this to say,”With Monster College, our goal is to convert the art of campus hiring into a science.

It also eliminates the concept of day zero or day one on college campuses.” The response is great; over 2,400 colleges and 180,000 students across India have registered. Mr. Modi further revealed,”The concept of this integration arose out of Mumbai-based IT company Syntel’s recruiting dr...

Ex- Sathya Sai Baba Students Could Aid Sex Abuse Change In India. But Will
2011-08-05 06:45:00 A few years ago, I addressed an 'open letter' to my former Whitefield College Students. On re-reading, I see that its terms can fairly be addressed (give or take the occasion specific reference) to all alumni, past and present. There have been so many revelations of great and pervasive corruption both in Sathya Sai Baba himself and in many of his officials (especially his core servitors) that it may not go amiss to post this communication here. Thousands of Sathya Sai education alumni face a dilemma not only in their immediate communities but wherever they may settle or travel. It is hard to imagine a major education institution in which a founder and certain teachers and Trust officials have been so deeply embroiled in scandal. But when, with searching analyis and deeply thought-through remedial action, what can be so terrible can, with great good will, be transformed into something that is so wonderful. And these alumni, potentially, are faced with a great challenge. Examples ...

The bands were very different in style but both showed these qualities which the In...
AIIMS Starts E-Book Facility For Doctors And Students
2011-06-28 14:03:00 AIIMS, the sixty nine year old finest health institute in the country just set a new example by starting an e-book facility for all resident doctors and students. The service will be accessible via Wi-Fi. Apparently, the concept was in discussion since last year. “We have finally got an e-book facility. We have given the list of e-books and journals to the administration. The list was submitted in May 2010, and at last we got a few e-books for us,” said Dr Debjyoti Karmakar, president, Resident Doctors Association (RDA), AIIMS. Incidentally, the latest buzz in market pertains to the possible entry of Amazon in India. Although, a comparatively low PC penetration of around 35% in Indian households and a mere 9% of the overall internet population form a relatively poor base towards forming a target segment for e-books in India, Amazon’s entry may rightfully change the current scenario. Similar inclination have been shown by Flipkart, a Bangalore based start-up with over ...

UP Students To Get Their Own Web Pages
2011-06-14 11:37:00 The Uttar Pradesh Higher Education Department has instructed all universities in the state to prepare a database of their students to facilitate the process of students getting their own web pages. Uptron Powertronics Ltd and Shreetron India Ltd would be developing the required software to set up a centralized database of students in all the state universities. The UP government had given similar instructions to state universities in June last year as well, but didn’t get a good response. It hopes to avoid a repeat by allocating funds of nearly Rs. 17 lakhs to each university. Currently two of the four government colleges in UP don’t even have their own website. Osama Manzar, in his column called Digital World at livemint highlighted the same problem calling it India’s poverty in the virtual world. He says: India has almost 1.6 million schools, mostly located in rural areas. Internet connectivity would be in less than 0.5% schools, and not more than 10% have webs...

Several hundred of them turned out to the place where he appeared and drowned out his sniveling statement with loud chants of "USA, USA." This nebbish was unable to get his little screed spoken and when water balloons began to pelt him the cops quickly moved him out putting an end to the whole scene. It was epic fail for this dude's blather. Now, let me say that I am thrilled to...

And after much back and forth talk, we decided that it is a good plunge regardless of the high risk factor that comes with it. My roommate, Johanna, is a sophomore in college with a major track in Public Relations and Advertising. Claiming the same major, it has been clear to me throughout the past two years that we did not share the same passion for the profession. Johanna's interests were in fashion, celebrities, and all the...
