Staying Warm on Campus this Winter





Staying cozy in college this winter starts with good college bedding and a warm coat. There are a variety of other ways to stay warm and healthy throughout the winter months. Here are some solid tips to help you love rather than hate the cold weather that lies ahead.
Layer, Layer, Layer to Stay Warm
Layer your clothing and layer your dorm room bedding. Air is one of the best insulators so trapping air is a key way to improve warmth and enjoy the cold weather season. Layering your clothing should include a T-shirt or thermal underwear, a long-sleeve shirt and/or a turtleneck, a sweater and a jacket. An added bonus in layering your clothing is that it can also prevent you from getting too hot and sweating. Sweat freezes making the body colder after the overheating wears off. There are a variety of outdoor clothing companies that specialize in warm weather gear that is engineered to prevent overheating. Incorporating some of this outdoor wear into your wardrobe will greatly increase your comfort levels. Layering doesn’t stop with clothing; buy good bedding and layer bedding in the same way and for the same reasons. One added bonus to layering your dorm room bedding is that you can then turn down the thermostat. This saves energy and it helps to prevent winter colds and flu.
Watch Your Back
Wearing low cut jeans in cold weather is just asking for a urinary track infection. The kidneys are located in the retroperitoneum area near the back and consistent exposure to cold just isn’t a good idea. Rather than change your pants, buy longer t-shirts and sports shirts to tuck into pants. Opt for a longer jacket rather than a shorter one. Usually just being aware that you need to keep this area warm to stay healthy will improve matters dramatically.
Old German Wives’ Tale: Keep Your Feet Warm
There isn’t any proof that this works but who wants to fight with generations of mothers in a land where winter is the longest season of the year? Make an effort to keep your feet dry, comfortable and warm throughout the day. This includes while you are studying and hanging out in the dorm. A pair of warm slippers is a wise and easy investment. Another old Chinese wives’ tale says that you shouldn’t eat spicy food when it is cold and dry. According to legend this causes sore throats, colds and all manner of havoc on your body’s Qi.
Cover Your Head: Smart Idea!
Your head is covered with hair for a reason. Enhance those locks with a hat. Covering your head is one of the best ways to stay warm and healthy throughout the winter season.
Get out there and throw a few snowballs. It’s a winter wonderland once you know how to cope with it!

How to find Paid Internships!!!











Getting an internship is a requirement for most college students, and for good reason. Internships are a great way to gain experience in the field you are studying, and they can help you realize what you want, or don’t want, in your future career.  There is only one problem with internships: many of them are unpaid. There is hope though; it’s possible to find a paid internship, so that you are making money while also making great headway into your future career. 
It takes a little more work finding paid internships for college students, but it’s possible. Loyola University Career Center director, Darby Scism, said that one of the most important things when trying to get a paid internship is to allow time and energy to find one.

Record Breaking Wisconsin Running Back Montee Ball Returning to School

















Wisconsin's Montee Ball made a shocking announcement. NBC Sports reports that Ball will not enter the 2012 NFL draft.
Instead, Ball will return to Wisconsin for his senior year. The running back capped his junior year with trips to the Heisman Trophy ceremony and the Rose Bowl.
Ball commented on his decision, saying, "I took the time to take in everyone's opinions ... I listened to my heart and I will be returning for my senior season."
Ball said he decided not to enter the 2012 draft when he learned that the NFL draft advisory board gave him a third-round grade. Ball is hoping that by having a great senior season, he'll be given a first-round grade the next time around.

Barack Obama joins Instagram













He made waves with his online and social media presence in '08, and in 2012 President Barack Obama is renewing his embrace of the modern Web by signing up for Instagram.
The commander-in-chief joined iTunes' "App Of The Year" this week, and his staff is already posting photos of the prez as he heads out on the campaign trail.
So far they don't seem to be using any of Instagram's signature photo filters, so it remains to be seen whether Obama is an X-pro II or a Nashville kind of guy.

**A Must Watch** 100 Years in 10 Minutes (1911 - 2011 in 10 Minutes)

Iowa Caucus Results: Mitt Romney's Narrow Win















The Iowa caucus results are in and although Mitt Romney took the lead, it was not by much.
The CBS News reports that according to the Iowa caucus results, Mitt Romney won out over Rick Santorum by only eight votes. Santorum's narrow loss is impressive considering he was at the bottom of opinion polls just weeks ago. Romney now appears to be headed toward the nomination. Santorum, however, isn't giving up.
"With your help and God's grace, we will have another fun night a week from now," Santorum told supporters before the final caucus results were announced.
Ron Paul came in third, Newt Gingrich places fourth, Rick Perry placed fifth, Michele Bachmann placed sixth and John Huntsman placed seventh. Reacting to their disappointing standing in the caucus results, Perry and Bachmann are hinting that their campaigns may be over. A defeated Perry told supporters following the iowa caucus that he would return to Texas to "determine whether there is a path forward for me in this race." Meanwhile, a senior Republican official with direct knowledge saysBachmann is suspending her presidential campaign.

Almost every Smart Phone Buyer this Holiday Purchased Angry Birds











Rovio, the makers of Angry Birds, is reporting 6.5 millions downloads of the game on Christmas Day, which is just about the same number of total smartphone activations that day.
The total stretches across three games—Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio—but when you consider the holiday haul is an increase from 2 million downloads on Christmas 2010 and roughly half a billion people already have the game, the numbers are mind-boggling.
No wonder then that Rovio’s IPO could hit $10 billion.
