No, it is usually some extremely crazy political link of some obscure event or source.
If we want the news, we will go to our favorite news source, not C & C

I think its interesting to discuss socially relevant news because I pretty much get my news on the radio on the drive into work or the headlines on CNN.com and then go back to whatever I was doing. I like getting some interaction.
And honestly I will still never forget how EF was about the ONLY place I could get news about 9/11 because all the news websites were choked w/ traffic.

Newsweek names the "100 most global universities"
Newsweek names the "100 most global universities"
The Complete List: The Top 100 Global Universities
Global Education Special Report

Newsweek International
- In response to the same forces that have propelled the world economy toward global integration, universities have also become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire spectrum of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an inter connected world and collaborative research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity. To capture these developments, NEWSWEEK devised a ranking of global universities that takes into account openness and diversity, as well as distinction in research.
We evaluated schools on some of the measures used in well-known rankings published by Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Times of London Higher Education Survey. Fifty percent of the score came from equal parts of three measures used by Shanghai Jiatong: the number of highly-cited researchers in various academic fields, the number of articles published in Nature and Science, and the number of articles listed in the ISI Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities indices. Another 40 percent of the score came from equal parts of four measures used by the Times: the percentage of international faculty, the percentage of international students, citations per faculty member (using ISI data), and the ratio of faculty to students. The final 10 percent came from library holdings (number of volumes).

I don't guess that I mind the news so much if someone posts an interesting article occassionally. I guess my real aggravation lies when someone gets a bizarre news article and then uses it to make some sweeping generalization about some race, religion, gender, etc.Sassy69 said:
All the crazy editorializing is aggravating. So are news articles from pretty questionable sources.
Sometimes it just feels like they go to some extremist site and cut and paste articles from that site to here.

Re: Newsweek names the "100 most global universities"
That's ok, I am thinking about returning to school and getting a BS in Exercise Science at UWF. Definitely will be a TTTSEF.

Unfortunetly, I transferred to my original TTT after the third surgery. I'm, like, a FTTSEF.

Re: Newsweek names the "100 most global universities"
Side job initially. I was thinking about taking a couple physiology courses and then taking the test for NSCA-CSCS. Don't think I have to have a degree in a related discipline so my BSEE will do. There's a couple specific courses that apply to that test, PET 4380, PET 4383C But there's an anatomy and physiology, then an exercise physiology prereq.
samoth said:I'm assuming for interest or a side job? Surely it can't pay better than what you're currently doing or the degree you already have.

Those are the ones good for a laugh or two, and remind you that yes, this is the interwebs. I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio - its good to balance to the left as well.... A little weird, but builds character, or at least gives you a good ice breaker when u need to do small talk in the elevator or something - e.g. "Say did you hear about that judge who is enforcing an abortion on a 13 yr old girl in Italy?" And then based on how they respond, you can determine if they are liberal, conservative or scared of you, and you are then prepared to continue the conversation in whichever direction you wish to pursue --- i.e explore the person's leftist leanings, see if you can get their panties in a wad by pushing their fundamentalist values, or see if you can get them to leave the elevator before their intended stop.
EF gives me all sorts of ammunition to face my day
