How to Find a Job at a Top Internet Marketing Agency
At this point no one disputes that online and mobile marketing are the way of the future. There are certainly plenty of companies still pouring money into print, radio, and television ads as there?s still an audience for that sort of advertising. But readership of print publications like newspapers and magazines continues to decline, consumers are growing to prefer paid radio services that limit ads, and more and more people are installing DVR technology in their homes so that they can fast-forward through commercials. Plus, the internet has provided an immense entertainment and information playground for the public at large, making it an excellent place for companies to approach consumers in a variety of ways. And if you want to be successful in your chosen career, it behooves you to understand the impact and implementation of online marketing campaigns so that you can peddle your skills to the best internet marketing agencies around. But how can you nab that coveted top spot?
One good way to start is by attending a top school. While it?s true that you can find other ways to get a foot in the door, a diploma from a prestigious college, especially one that has a top-notch business school (and emphasis in marketing) will certainly gain the attention of employers, potentially placing you ahead of the pack when it comes to hiring. On the other hand, this can be a fairly pricy endeavor. So unless you?ve got your sights set on moving up the corporate ladder pretty quickly and you have a comprehensive plan to make it happen, you might not want to saddle yourself with all of that student loan debt. If you want to work at a top firm in any industry you need to be prepared to work hard and make the sacrifices that will get you there.
Of course, you might need a little more than just a degree in this day and age. When you leave the Ivory Tower of learning and head out into the working world you?re going to find that the recession has seriously impacted your ability to obtain gainful employment. Not only are there fewer jobs (even though online marketing should be a growing field), but you?ll be competing against people who have the same credentials as you, but supplemented by years of experience. So you need to make a splash. The best way is to build a portfolio, and this can start during your time in college.
Beyond what you do for your classes, you might want to join competitions through your college that will bring the opportunity for state and national titles for online ad campaigns. And you should probably offer your services free of charge (or for a minimal fee) to local businesses as a way to gain experience and build a portfolio of professional work. If you can swing it, an internship with an online firm (such as www.bowlerhat.co.uk) will also help immensely and it could just result in a job offer that starts you on your way to reaching the pinnacle of your industry. And of course, any references you can muster from professors and clients will help. These steps will show a prospective employer what you?re capable of in a way that a diploma alone cannot, and they will advance your prospects of working at a top online marketing agency.

HPV shots don't make girls promiscuous, study says
CHICAGO (AP) ? Shots that protect against cervical cancer do not make girls promiscuous, according to the first study to compare medical records for vaccinated and unvaccinated girls.
The researchers didn't ask girls about having sex, but instead looked at "markers" of sexual activity after vaccination against the sexually transmitted human papillomavirus, or HPV. Specifically, they examined up to three years of records on whether girls had sought birth control advice; tests for sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy; or had become pregnant.
Very few of the girls who got the shots at age 11 or 12 had done any of those over the next three years, or by the time they were 14 or 15. Moreover, the study found no difference in rates of those markers compared with unvaccinated girls.
The study involved nearly 1,400 girls enrolled in a Kaiser Permanente health plan in Atlanta. Results were published online Monday in Pediatrics.
Whether vaccination has any influence on similar markers of sexual activity in older teens wasn't examined in this study but other research has suggested it doesn't.
The study is the first to use medical outcomes data to examine consequences of HPV vaccination and the results are "comforting and reassuring," said lead author Robert Bednarczyk, a researcher at Kaiser and Emory University. Both institutions paid for the study.
HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer and also has been linked with anal and oral cancers in women and men.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend HPV shots for girls and boys at age 11 or 12, before they have ever had sex. Three doses are generally recommended over six months.
Some parents have raised concerns that the shots "are a license to have sex," but the study bolsters evidence against that concern, said Dr. Elizabeth Alderman, an adolescent medicine specialist at The Children's Hospital at Montefiore in New York City. She was not involved in the study.
A CDC study published in January suggested that the shots don't promote sexual activity among older girls, but it relied on self-reporting, at ages 15 to 24. That's a less reliable method than the new study, Alderman said. She has been a paid speaker for Merck & Co., which makes one of the two HPV vaccines sold in the United States, but said she has no current financial ties to the company.
In the new study, at least 90 percent of vaccinated and unvaccinated girls did not seek pregnancy tests, chlamydia tests or birth control counseling, markers that were considered surrogates for sexual activity during up to three years of follow-up. Two in each group became pregnant. Chlamydia, a common sexually transmitted disease, was diagnosed in one vaccinated girl and three unvaccinated girls.
Three of the study's four co-authors reported having done previous research funded by Merck.

Grand jury: S.F. eateries took tips on health care surcharge ...
A San Francisco civil grand jury has concluded that 38 restaurants built into their prices the cost of providing city-mandated employee health coverage?and then never offered the benefits to workers.
The grand jurors? suspicion: That restaurateurs pocketed a substantial portion of the money.
In 2006, San Francisco passed the Health Care Security Ordinance, the nation?s first public-option health insurance plan. It requires employers to provide health insurance.
If they don?t, they must pay up to $4,252 per employee annually into a San Francisco fund that reimburses employees for their health expenditures. The funds are collected at the point of sale from consumers.
Em??ployees then submit medical bills directly to the employer for reimbursement.
In November 2011, San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee signed legislation clarifying that the full amount collected from customers under the surcharge must be used for employee health care expenditures.
Grand jurors collected receipts from 38 restaurants and compared them with annual compliance reports, which employers file with the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement. They were also matched up with annual payroll expense tax documents filed with the Office of the Treasurer and Tax Collector.
The survey found that 18 restaurants collected $2.17 million in surcharges, of which $1.16 million was spent on health care expenses. A surplus of $1.01 million remained with the restaurants.
The report also found that more than half of the restaurants failed to add sales tax to the surcharge. In just that small sample, the city?s lost tax revenue added up to more than $77,000.
Rob Black, executive director of the Golden Gate Restaurant Asso?ci?ation, criticized the report, saying it fell outside the scope of a civil grand jury?s purpose. He argued that of the 3,200 restaurants in the city, only a few were handpicked to make a political point.

VIDEO: President Announces African Americans For Obama
Can you imagine the outcry if the Romney campaign announced White People for Mitt.
Why hasn't the White House announced a special program for Pop Stars for Obama? ?Or former Wall Street Bankers for Obama? ?Or Wall Street Defense Attorneys for Obama? Or narcoleptic former Harvard Presidents who destroyed the Harvard Endowment for Obama? Or Moody's economists named Mark Zandi for Obama?
Finally, what about tax-cheating, dick-weed former NY Fed Presidents for Obama?

Countdown to Halloween Day 15 - Go Batty Card Game | AEIOU ...
One thing that's really been lacking on the market until recently is Halloween themed games. You'd think it would be a no brainer, right? Sure there have been a few games with Nightmare Before Christmas versions. And even Disney's Haunted Mansion versions of Clue and The Game of Life. There's even a Halloween themed Monopoly knock off called Boo-Opoly, which I have yet to get.
It's only in the past few years that I started to see Halloween themed games, mostly at Target. For the most part, they're classic games like Bingo, Twister, and Ring Toss with Halloween graphics. They're cute but usually don't appeal to my Halloween collecting need because they're not Halloween-y enough.
When I visited Micheal's craft store last week, I found this cute kids card game for $2.
As you can see, it's called Go Batty! and it plays just like Go Fish. Instead of a normal deck of cards with numbered suits, there are 13 sets of four cartoony creatures. For the price, the cards are made from surprisingly good stock. However, the big problem with them for me is the box.
The box is mounted to the backing card and I don't think there's any way of removing it without destroying the box short of cutting the card away with scissors. Also because of the way the interior tabs are placed in the box, it's impossible to close the top flap with the cards in there unless you remove the two foreign language rules cards. Even when I manage to get it closed, it's just as difficult to open because in order to get your fingertip on the flap you have to bend the backing card.
Despite all my whining about the box, you can't do much better for only two bucks, especially if you're not a stickler for keeping the packaging intact.

They're waiting for you!?
