She said she remembered having frequent problems with an ad for the University of Phoenix being displayed by Adwords on Freeze’s site, which is geared toward Harvard students. “The University of Phoenix has no benefit from being on our site and the ad’s irrelevance decreased the overall quality our the site,” Hanger said. Because of the irrelevance of Adwords’ placements, Hanger said Freeze stopped using it. For her new online venture Her Campus, Hanger said she plans...

This summer, public-health authorities have worried almost as much about people's risk-benefit equation as they have about the virus. Dr. Karen Remley, health commissioner for Virginia, has noticed that most people seem to fall into one of two categories when it comes to H1N1. "There's a group of people who think it's all gone and over," she says. "There's a group who say, 'Armageddon is going to happen!' The trick is getting people...
