This is another news website for both current and old news that is happening globally. It has been helpful when doing research for multiple classes over this semester. It has information on most all of the latest news, and it is really good information. Most all the information that students need for research can be found on this site.

The Huffington Post is a great website to catch up on all the current events that are happening around the world. I have also found this website very helpful for current event assignments in Global Studies this semester; you can search news on any topic or any country.

This is very helpful in finding current events and local news. It gives great detail in everything and is updated very regularly with new articles.

This was a very helpful site for me for my research in Global Studies. I used this site to look up current events.

I was introduced to this site through American Studies, since it is our primary source for the History of the Day (HOTD) assignment that we do once a quarter. For HOTD, we use the e-newspaper, which simulates the experience of reading that day's paper complete with "flipping" through the international, national, and local news. I know that the Burlington Free Press is a reliable source since it is fairly well known in this state, and it has multiple reporters and editors working on every story and checking the facts to make sure that it is accurate. This source is probably a bit liberal as news sources go, since it is published in Vermont where most of the readers are democrats, but I usually feel as though I am being informed, not persuaded, when I read it. I really enjoy getting news from the BFP because the paper is small enough that you can receive information without getting overwhelmed, and it doesn't take too long to read the whole thing. Using this source in American Studies has also changed my perception of my state, since it has helped me realize that even though it is a small state, Vermont has talented editors and is able to produce a news source that is equally as informative as big-time sources like the New York Times.

This site was very helpful when I had to look up current events for Global Studies. It was inserting to learn about what is going on in the world.

This website was really helpful for me. I used this site a lot in my Global Studies class and it helped me research different current events in specific countries. The information was really easy to find and is also very reliable.

Google Trends is a way to search what is currently popular searches on Google's Search engine. This is a visualizer for that which means that it is an easy way to look at what is effectively a list of what the world cares most about currently. I could have written some huge philosophical thing about this link, but in reality it's a pretty screensaver.

So, it sounds as if you do NOT recommend using this? I don't need a pretty screen saver in my life, for sure. But if there is anything to be learned by the wisdom of the crowds, this might be a place to learn? I really don't have any skin in this game and just wonder what you think.

Newsweek is a magazine that comes out weekly. It reports on the current issues that are going on. I used an old magazine to learn more about Justice Vs. Terror (Dec. 10 2001).

This website really helped me find interesting current events about different chemistry related topics. As I was taking my chemistry course, I was able to see how everything that I was learning was relevant and connected to what was currently happening in the "real world" by looking at this website.

This article is about Obama, the current U.S. President, who is trying to outlaw guns by going behind the citizens backs and making it a crime for any citizen to own a gun by not stopping the U.N. from passing international gun control laws. This will allow the secretary of state, without consent from the citizens of the United States, to decide the gun control laws in our country and across the globe. This article came from CNN, which is a reliable news source. I fear Obama's actions are going to start a civil war if this actually happens because it would violate the second amendment right of all U.S. citizens by creating a larger global law banning guns. I am strongly opposed to the U.N. setting our country's gun control laws and want to protect my current rights as a U.S. citizen.

Noelle Stevenson is a very talented artist who is currently working on publishing a comic book called Nimona. She shares very interesting information not only about her journey through art school and the process of getting her comic published, but also about basic drawing techniques.

What is her style? What aspects of her style appeal to you that you may find yourself incorporating into your developing style?

This site gives a good idea of the career outlook for theater makeup.

Koizu is a professional artist currently working on his own comic book. His video series includes information about Manga and tools that are needed to start drawing.

The Obama Administration and the EPA have officially announced their intent to cut current coal power plant carbon emissions by forty percent. Experts in the field of power production say that these new regulations are impossible to achieve without extremely expensive prototype-based carbon capture technology. These new regulations will certainly have a huge impact on the cost of electricity in the coming years.

So do you see a parallel to the fire regulations you have been researching? Do you see a similar impact on cost? Will these costs impact in any way the enforcement of these regulations? Do the benefits outweigh the costs?

This site allows you to look at reviews of colleges written by alumnis or attending students. This gives you a different perspective of that college. It also allows you to know things that college tours simply don't tell you. They also have scholarship opportunities that you can apply for. On top of that, you can see rankings of schools and research further into each school you are interested in. I have found this website very helpful in my college search, and I have even applied to a few scholarships on this site.

College Prowler is a site that rates colleges and universities so that people who are going through the college process can navigate towards a better school. If you can't decide between two schools and you don't have the time to visit again, you can use this site to help make your decision!

College Prowler is the website to use! Its a quick, easy, and free sign up process to gain access to all the website has to offer. Once you have an account, you can search any college you want and it will bring you to an information page. The college pages consist of student reviews, which in my opinion, are the most reliable source! You can look through individual tabs such as summary, about the school, about the students, about the campus and about the location. Under each of these tabs are an abundance of information and reviews that help you fully understand the college. The best tool on College Prowler is the Applicant Status. With this tool you can plug in your GPA and SAT/ACT scores, and it will place you among statistics showing people admitted, denied, wait listed, and attending. It is a great way to see where you stand in terms of college admittance!

Kent Frankovich designed a rim based bicycle lighting system and is currently trying to fund his new business on kickstarter. Is the secret to a good business an idea?.. or does it take a certain kind of person to be an entrepreneur?

Designboom is a online design and architecture magazine. Great for inspiration and news!

Did you use it to get any current issues news?

Yes, this site has all of the new info within the technology and design world. I've used this article to see some of the new products Microsoft and Sony have made or are planning to make, like PlayStation 4 (These are the two main stocks we have been investing in.)

This is an article focusing on Obama's piece of mind regarding the government shutdown. He and I both think it's a waste of time for our government. The fact that a single republican, John Boehner is currently the person controlling how and when the government shutdown will end is wrong. One person should not be in control of the congress on funds that have already been approved. Boehner and republicans refuse to reopen the government as long as Obama doesn't go in front of 20 million people and basically tell them they can't have health insurance.

Why does John Boehner have that power? How well did this strategy work for Republicans? What will happen with the debt ceiling discussion looming ahead in our future?

I use this source for everything related to my work, and when I am bored. It is literally the greatest source of free reliable information that is constantly kept current. Anyone who tells you that Wikipedia is unreliable, I challenge you to find one piece of false information on any of its pages.

Information on different careers and benefits with being in the guard along with some information on specific careers currently popular to enlisting.

This website wasn't used much by me, but I think it was useful the time I did use it. It tells much about modern pharmacy and what pharmacists do, it just didn't have the information that I was looking for. If you're going to use it, good luck!

An article from Forbes that states that the current government shutdown (even a potentially prolonged one) will probably have little to no affect on the stock market.

But it also talks about the debt ceiling... Did you apply this information to the thinking contributing to your collaboration on investments?
